“How’s this?” Carol asked once she’d finished getting dressed.

She shook her head lightly, rustling the hair on the wig.

“Impressive,” Myalo said while clapping her hands. “Your disguise is more effective than I thought.”

“Then let’s head out.”

Carol was wearing her Cultural Academy uniform, while Myalo was wearing the Knight Academy one. Since Myalo’s uniform was designed for boys and Carol was taller, the pair looked like a boy with an older girlfriend from afar.

“Where did you intend for us to go?” Myalo asked.

“I wanna check out a teahouse that’s popular with Cultural Academy students. It’s called Vogue.”

“Ah,” Myalo nodded. “Yes, I’ve heard about that one too.”

“Heh heh. It’s not somewhere I’d usually hang out.”

Although Carol had countless acquaintances, there were few people besides Yuri and Myalo who she considered friends on equal terms.

The places she heard others talk about at the Cultural Academy often caught her interest, but she rarely had anyone to visit them with. She still wasn’t on good enough terms with Yuri to invite him to teahouses during their days off.

“Likewise. In fact, I’ve never set foot in a teahouse.”

“I haven’t either, actually.”

“Oh really?” Myalo didn’t sound particularly surprised. “In that case, it’ll be a first for both of us.”

“Yep.”

“Heh heh. Isn’t it odd? It’s such a normal thing to do, and yet neither of us have done it.”

Carol agreed completely—in fact, that was exactly why she wanted to go there. She wanted to experience the “outings” that other girls often talked about.

“From what I’ve heard, Yuri’s always visiting teahouses,” Carol said.

“Indeed. He often goes to one known as Ginkgo Leaf. It’s just outside the Grand Library.”

Myalo apparently knew all about this already. As always, Carol felt as though Myalo already knew virtually everything.

“Then why don’t we head there?” Carol suggested.

“Good idea.”

The two headed for the academy’s main gate.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. Here’s your original blend tea, waterdropwort tea, roast dumplings, and smoked cheese.” After placing their tea and snacks down on the table, the waitress bowed to the two girls. “Would you like anything else?”

A pair of cups, teapots, and plates of food had been placed on their table. Apparently, this teahouse left it to customers to pour their own tea. Carol guessed that this made it easy for people in large groups to try someone else’s order.

“That’ll be all, thank you,” Carol said.

The waitress looked surprised for a moment, but then she smiled. “Please take your time,” she said before leaving.

“Heh heh. You left her a little awestruck just now, Your Highness.”

“Did I?”

“The girls from the Cultural Academy wouldn’t have thanked her like that. You sounded cool while saying it.”

“Cool? Is that a compliment?”

“Yes, it is.”

Carol had been trying to sound cute, rather than cool, so she felt a little disappointed. Her aim was to always act with dignity and project confidence while remaining respectful to those around her. It was a little difficult to do all that and come across as cute at the same time.

“I’m surprised there aren’t more people,” Carol noted while looking around the teahouse.
