A few hours had passed since Mary and Adi had been interrogated by Margaret.

“She’s not coming, huh?” Mary whispered as she and Adi walked towards the corner of the academy they used as a bicycle parking space (indeed, they still commuted by bike even during college).

Mary had been certain that Veltina would show up at least once whilst she was preparing to depart from the school, but there was no trace of the younger girl. Mary hadn’t even heard that familiarly high-handed voice at all. This was odd, since up until now, Veltina always appeared when Mary was about to leave, and tried to find faults in her.

“I wonder if something happened? Maybe she got lost somehow...” Mary contemplated.

“Why are you so worried, Your Ladyship?”

“I mean, that girl always shows up and tries to kick up a fuss whenever I’m leaving. But I haven’t seen her so far... She could’ve collapsed somewhere. Maybe we should go help her out...” she said with concern. Veltina caused trouble each time she showed up, yes, but her not showing up at all only made Mary feel anxious.

“Goodness, my lady... Ah, wait, isn’t that Lady Veltina?”

“Where?! Is she okay?! She’s not been caught in some sort of trap, has she?!” Mary fretted, hurriedly surveying her surroundings.

In her mind’s eye, she was already picturing Veltina caught in a bear trap, shouting, “It’s fine if you want to help out!” Mary imagined Patrick and Carina looking on coldly from the background. She was on tenterhooks.

“Are you implying someone’s set up traps all over the academy?” asked Adi. “Anyway, I suppose she is safe, but...” He trailed off, and then pointed at something.

Mary looked over in that direction, only to see Veltina and Parfette caught in a glaring contest.

The large ribbon in Veltina’s hair was fluttering about, while the ribbon around Parfette’s waist also swayed. Both girls were pouting, making their hostility towards each other very clear. But they were each naturally cute, and their current expressions didn’t take away from that in the slightest. Though they were also frowning deeply, it still wasn’t enough to spoil their looks.

In other words, despite the fact that they were glaring at each other, there was not an ounce of intensity between them. It wasn’t exactly something one could describe as an explosive situation.

Veltina’s cronies also seemed completely at ease, lazily making supportive remarks like, “Go, Lady Veltina!” (In fact, some of them were actually eagerly discussing how once this was over, they could visit the migratory bird restaurant again. Their composure would’ve normally astonished Mary, but instead she found herself smirking.)

“This is a perfectly serene scene with no hint of danger whatsoever,” Mary commented. “It’s the picture of peace.”

“Indeed. The two in conflict seem to be sincerely going for it, but there’s no sense of danger at all,” Adi responded. “Lord Gainas standing in the back and holding both of their bags just adds to the surrealism of it.”

“This isn’t even a confrontation. It’s a cheeks puff-off.”

As they conversed, Mary and Adi decided to approach Gainas.
