After classes ended, Parfeil and I were riding in the carriage. I shared some of the cookies I received from Madeleine with her, and her ears swayed left and right from happiness.

“Oh, I’m so happy I’m serving you, milady!”

“I’d love to be as happy as you are when receiving some cookies, Parfeil.”

“I live a fulfilling life every day thanks to you, milady!”

Parfeil was all smiles as she stuffed cookies into her apron pocket, but all of a sudden, her expression turned serious. Her ears perked up and a sense of urgency showed on her face.

“Parfeil, what’s wrong?” I asked her.

“There’s a carriage following us.”

“What?!”

According to Parfeil, another carriage had been copying our movements for a little while. It had been veering to the right whenever we veered right and to the left whenever we leaned left, following our every turn. Parfeil’s acute sense of hearing could pick out the sound of the other carriage’s wheels trailing behind us.

Parfeil opened the window connecting to the front box and called to the driver. “We’re being chased! Lose them!”

Then, she closed the carriage windows and handed me a cushion.

“Protect your head with that,” she ordered.

“A-All right,” I stammered.

“Also, grit your teeth so you don’t bite your tongue.”

“Okay.”

Parfeil stuffed cushions to the left and right sides of my head as well, presumably to soften any impact. She then took out a knife with a large blade from within her skirt and glared at the carriage trailing us out of the back window of our ride.

I heard the snap of a whip and the subsequent neighing of the horses in front of us. Our carriage accelerated, swaying left and right.

Just who is chasing us? Did someone find out about the caramel candy that can restore mana?

There was a loud clang, and our carriage lurched to the side. I fell towards the door, but thanks to the cushions, I didn’t collide with anything.

The curtains swayed for a bit, long enough for me to notice that the scenery outside the carriage was different from what I was used to. We had been following a different route today than usual.

“Hmm?” What’s going on?

It seemed that Parfeil was able to confirm something, and she went to give orders to the driver.

“You may slow down now. If there’s a place we can stop, please park the carriage there.”

The carriage slowed to its usual speed and eventually came to a halt.

“Parfeil, what was that about?” I asked at last.

“Milady, it seems that it was one of your acquaintances,” she replied.

“An acquaintance?”

Parfeil motioned to the other carriage through the back window. At that same moment, the passengers of the other carriage stepped out.

I spotted someone with the familiar mantled uniform of a magic academy. I couldn’t see his face as it was covered by a hood, but I knew exactly who it was.

“Is that...Van Citron?”

“Looks like it,” Parfeil affirmed.

Van Citron’s friends followed after him. Apparently, they had raised a white flag midway through their pursuit, and right after that, they’d raised a different flag with the emblem of House Langue de Chat.
