Isaac was absent from school—stuck at home with a cold, apparently.

I’m sure I don’t need to clarify this, but even people in this world catch colds sometimes. There’s even an event in the game where the main character gets a cold, and her love interest looks after her.

But for the record, I’d yet to catch a cold since my rebirth as Elizabeth Burton. I hadn’t even seen a doctor since the day I’d collapsed when I’d first regained my past-life memories.

Health was a love interest’s greatest asset, though. You know what they say—“Health is wealth,” right?

Anyway, Isaac was missing out on handouts and homework. Someone had to bring those to him, and since everyone knew I was on friendly terms with him, that someone had been decided to be me. I wasn’t too pleased about it, but I could hardly say no to the homeroom teacher. What kind of playboy would I be if I refused to help a lady in need?

I walked the short distance from the academy to Isaac’s house and arrived at the gate. I’d considered taking a carriage, but that seemed a bit over the top.

The Guildford estate was about half the size of Burtons’, but it seemed pretty respectable in its own right. That was just by my own estimation, though. I’d never really had anything resembling a friend before, so I’d never gotten a good look at any noble’s lodgings but my own. It gave me a very limited frame of reference on house sizes. Given that it was the prime minister’s home, though, surely it must’ve been considered on the larger side?

The exterior and landscape were somewhat spartan, lending it a sort of modern feel.

I rang the bell at the gate, and a man who looked to be in his thirties emerged to greet me. Judging by his attire, he was probably the butler.

“Hi. I’m a friend of Isaac’s. Our homeroom teacher asked me to deliver some handouts to him,” I said.

“Your identification papers, please?” the butler demanded after a pointed pause. He was looking at me with the most suspicious expression I had ever seen.

What’s his deal? I wondered. I’m wearing the academy’s uniform and everything.

I pulled out my identity papers from my inside pocket. (Of course, by identity papers, I basically just mean something like a student ID card.) It had my family crest and my father’s signature, though, so it certainly wasn’t something that could be forged easily.

“D-Duke Burton’s daughter?!” the butler exclaimed after scrutinizing my papers.

I watched as his face rapidly shifted from its natural tones to blue, then pale white.

“That’s me.”

“P-Please excuse my rudeness! Come in, come in!”

Yep, I’ve heard that one before. That’s gotta be one of the top three lines for small-fry baddies, I thought to myself as he gave me an astonishingly deep bow and beckoned me in. Only low-ranking nobodies had such an attitude shift after learning someone’s rank.

If I’d actually had any authority, I would’ve said a word or two to the Guildford house’s head about his butler’s disgraceful behavior.
