6. Reifus to Rain?

After taking an elegant sip of tea, the queen placed her cup back on its saucer. The gentle clinking of porcelain made me jolt.

“Hee hee, no need to act so reserved, Mary. I didn’t call you here to blame you.”

“Y-Yes, ma’am,” I squeaked.

She told me not to act reserved, but I couldn’t help it. It was just me and her there. Normally, I’d have had Magiluka attend with me, but this time I was told to come alone, and it was a school day, so there were classes to attend in the Academy. I couldn’t very well drag a class master along with me for this.

Tutte was nearby, but still a fair distance away, so it was just me and the queen here.

No, there’s one more...well, not person here.

I hung my head and glanced at my right hand, which was tightly gripping a large, fluffy tail. This was, of course, Snow’s tail. The divine beast was currently seated next to me, its head hung, placing it at the same height as mine. She was, after all, one of the reasons this had happened...

I figured she’d keep her cool because she’s a divine beast, and I thought having her around would help me calm down, but...

“Wh-What do I do, Mary?! The queen’s like, really scary! Her smile’s so ominous! Do we apologize?! Let’s apologize right now!”

As it turned out, the mighty divine beast was cowering even harder than I was. So, who wouldn’t tense up in this situation? Anyone would, I guarantee it. Especially not after the queen had alluded to “blaming” me.

Since she knows about it, is this the final episode?

The way the queen looked at me with a smile chilled me to the bone. I couldn’t even look her in the eye, and my gaze was wandering in every other direction.

“I have to say, it’s my first time seeing a divine beast. She looks very dignified, and her eyes look very wise,” the queen said, praising Snow.

Snow, however...

“Noooooooo, don’t look at me! I-I-I-I’m not at fault here! Mary made me do it!”

...was shouting words lacking in any dignity or wisdom in my head. I couldn’t ignore how she was trying to throw me under the bus, so I whispered at her, “Hey, why are you trying to pin all the blame on me?!”

“Hm? What’s wrong, Mary? Did the beast say something?” Her Majesty asked curiously.

“Ah, yes!” I replied on reflex, panicking. “She said—”

Bam! Snow hit her paw over my face, cutting me off.

“Tanks, Schnow...” I murmured, my nose squished.

“You’re welcome.”

“My, you two do get along well,” the queen giggled.

Seeing her smile made us feel more and more embarrassed, and we began to hang our heads in shame instead of fear. As I was starting to wonder what the queen was planning, a group of maids approached.

“We’ve brought her over, Your Majesty.”

The maids were spread out like they were trying to hide someone in the middle of their formation—actually, more like they were trying to keep whoever
