Chapter 4

Back at Elysiana College, on the first day after the holidays, Mary and Parfette were sitting in the classroom together. Mary was holding her head in her hands while a heavy aura emanated from her. Parfette glanced at her worriedly, but said nothing against this oppressive, gloomy atmosphere.

Mary knew Parfette was concerned for her, but she couldn’t do anything about it.

After thinking everything over, she was unbelievably happy—so very happy she almost couldn’t bear it.

Time had passed, she’d gained some distance from everything, changed her environment, and her head had cooled off a little. And now that she thought it all over with a clearer mind, she realized she was helplessly in love with Adi. She couldn’t stop thinking about him.

Although that thought was somewhat exciting, Mary felt resentful towards herself for not realizing her own feelings sooner. How shameful! Looking back on it now, she knew that Adi had always been by her side, and he’d made quite obvious advances towards her. He may not have been direct enough to bring up “love” by name, but he’d desperately tried to appeal to her with his words and deeds countless times.

But Mary had been so estranged from the concept of romance that she’d taken no notice of it, drawn her own peculiar conclusions, and responded to him in ways so off the mark that she’d surprised even herself. No, mere ignorance didn’t even begin to cover it. This was a whole other level.

Ahh, I’m such an idiot. Why didn’t I realize it sooner?

If I’d just thought a little more about it, it would’ve been obvious.

But instead I completely trampled on all his efforts, and even suggested he marry me for achieving some kind of a goal! Goodness, what an imbecile I am... Wait, does that mean I was the one who proposed?!

“Er... Lady Mary...”

Hearing a timid voice call out her name, Mary snapped back to reality. Parfette was looking at her anxiously, and the worried slant of her eyebrows implied she’d already tried calling for Mary multiple times.

“Did something happen, Lady Mary? You’ve been lost in thought since this morning...”

“Indeed, I’ve been agonizing over the many times I acted like a fool, and feeling ashamed of myself. I’d quite like to dig a hole with my drills and then crawl into it.”

“D-Drills...?” Parfette asked. “I’m not sure what you mean, but it seems like something terrible happened that’s caused you a lot of suffering...”

“Suffering?! Absolutely not! In fact, I’m so happy that I feel like I’m surrounded by an entire field of flowers!”

“Then...what’s the problem?”

“That is the problem! I can’t believe I’m feeling this happy! It’s just pathetic! I could shed tears at my own low tolerance threshold when it comes to romance! You can’t even call me a fledgling—I’m like a chick that’s only just broken out of its shell... No, actually, I’m the shell itself!”

As Mary continued to wail noisily, question marks began to flit about Parfette’s head. Even so, she tried to help Mary to calm down.
