Otome Game Rokkushuume, Automode ga Kiremashita

Chapter 51

On the morning of the next day, when I normally went to school, neither Erumeru nor Primera had arrived yet.

I was relieved, but only because the tense moment was put off for now

I dont regret what I did yesterday, but Im slightly reflective. In terms of location rather than content.

I ended up remembering later that we were in the dining hall. But I already attracted quite the public eye. Even though there are already rumors about me!

I have a bad habit of disregarding my surroundings sometimes. Thus Im reflecting

Gokigenyo, Mariabell-sama

G-Gokigenyo, Primera-samaand Erumeru-sama also

Good morning

Theyre here! Its natural since were in the same class, but I wanted to have more time to mentally prepare.

No, even so I suppose theres nothing I can do about it.

For the time being I will not say anything, I have no choice but to remain silent. I already said everything I wanted to say yesterday, regardless of whether it is good or bad, judgment will be entirely left to oneself.

Should we go to the back garden for today?

Yes?

Eh, for what? The subject is important, is what Keito usually tells me but its actually quite true.

Despite my confusion Primera continued smiling happilysomeone explain please.

Primera, you have to explain properly

Eh?

She had a blank look even though Erumeru pointed it out.

Primera is likely just a natural airhead. Un, I was thinking if that was the case its alrightits quite cute and nice.

Lets eat lunch in the back garden for todayI made lunch boxes for you too

Eh

This time I had a blank look on my face.

I wasnt expecting this developmentErumeru had a stiff expression but Primera was smiling, so it didnt seem to be heading in a bad direction.

But Im sorry, I cant really follow.

Etto

What should I dowhat is the correct answer for this sort of situation?

Interpersonal skills are too difficult for the lower class me!

Anyhow, what are your lunch plans for today?

I have none

Thenlets eat together

It seems she noticed that I was troubled on how to answer, so she simplified the question.

Now there are only two choices yes or no, which the latter I couldnt really choose since I already said I had no plans.

Either way, my choice has already been decided since the beginning.

Of course, gladly

I wonder if this could be said as everything working out as desired?

Or just everything working out conveniently.

After that the lessons hardly entered my head.

I just enrolled so its still fineexcept saying this carelessly will greatly affect my future academic progress, its a school-type manga flag after all.

Un, I will do my best starting tomorrow. Ill be troubled if my grades fall.

Primera go ahead and find a good spot, we will take some time since were carrying the lunch boxes

Alrightin that case Mariabell-sama, I will be going ahead then

After Erumeru said that, seemingly convincing Primera she then left holding only the picnic blanket and a bag of drinks.

Yes, I am now alone with Erumeru. Its too quick for me to prepare my heart.

I think she purposely made Primera go ahead like this. The back garden was very large and aside from that there are very few people there so there was no need to look for a good spot.

Either Primera wasnt unaware or Erumeru already notify her beforehandfrom the exchange earlier this morning it was likely the former.

Well then, hold this

Alright, understood

She handed over a country-style basket to me. Since Erumeru also had the same one, it seems they split the three servings of lunch into two.

Yesterday

Eh?

I was distracted quite thoroughly by the basket. I am hungry since I just finished classbecause we were silent ever since we started walking, I also wanted to be conscious of other things.

I thought about what happened yesterday afterwards, and Primera also spoke about it

Primera?

I realized that I was trying to put distance between us. Even though I am her childhood friend..I couldnt look past our social status difference

You are also important for Primera, just like she is to you

Because shes important she didnt want to separate, because shes important she thought it was better to be separate.

Both of them cherish each other greatly and I think both are correct in the end. There isnt anything gained by debating which feelings were right or wrong, there isnt any point in saying an unrelated person was wrong.

Although I can sympathize, there is only one method I would choose.

Primera also said the same thing

Erumeru suddenly started laughing.

Her smilethis was the first time I saw it. It mightve been a bitter laugh since I was thinking the same thing, but it still felt relieved.

Her expressions were dark but shes cute when she laughs, she had quite the lively impression as she greatly laughed out loud.

Thats whyI am convinced of what you said. Regardless of the nobility aspect, I have a favorable impression towards you

Hmsomehow she seems to like me?

But whether or not I want to be your friendto be honest I dont know yet

Un, that was expected.

I had spoken rather selfishly, but my remark had increased her favorability towards me.

In the case of words, it is possible to say whatever you want.

The words of nobles especially have great impact as there are many people who will react to them, so even children are quite influential.

For commoners, its suicidal to judge nobles by their words alone. Or if the person is just plain stupid.

After the past five rounds, that area is so painful that its scarring. Betrayal schemes, along with experiencing false charges as well, to be honest I think its more severe than the commoners who at least live in peace here. It was a matter of life or death, in reality I actually even died.

Thats why, I will decide by myself from now on. I will talk with you and then decide whether I like you or not. You dont have any problems with that right?

The words of Erumeru were very cute but naive.

In reality she should be wary of saying such things to a noble as they might become angry, but for me if the opponent was a noble even if I couldnt retaliate I could still cut off involvement with them.

In fact, I actually did do that to Tuvalu. I retaliated with all my might and even left a final blow. And now Im currently struggling to sever ties from an engagement.

When I thought about that, Erumeru is still rather naive. Her original personality seems to be obedient and direct, so she probably isnt use to disliking people without talking properly with them first.

I think its really naive. Its really naive but I also feel the same way.

Avoiding obstacles aside, I did wish we could become friends.

Yes, of course!

We began laughing together and headed out just a bit earlier.

Primera was waiting for us, and above all I wanted to eat lunch happily together with everyone.

Although its still only a temporary friendship, my heart felt more cheerful than I had expected.
