I looked away, pretending not to see anything.
Should I just leave the dormitory right now? I have a lot of money, so I wanted to buy a townhouse near the school and become independent. But it’s impossible.
Sadly, <God’s Play> was consistently low in human rights sensitivity considering the characteristics of the times. The setting was that the unmarried couldn’t become independent here.
How can I not change this? As a person from a country where the president was changed through voting, I couldn’t agree with the saying that evil laws are also laws.  Although this law was created by our team…
If there was no such setting, all the male protagonists would be characters who would leave their parents ‘house.’ Not only the male protagonists but Theresa as well. Take a look at Theresa, who had accumulated a record of running away from the law early on. She was truly an outlaw.
I couldn’t concentrate on the book because I kept getting distracted. It made me close the book and concentrate on getting to my destination quickly, avoiding Clyde. But it wasn’t easy.
Step, step. Step, step, step.
Stomp, stomp, stomp. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp.
If I took two steps, he took three steps. If I took three steps, he took four. Even the stride length doubled. Clyde, who had apparently been walking behind me, had overtaken me before I knew it.
That jerk?
Ding!

[So childish ㅋㅋ.]
As a result, I was devastated. Even though I walked fast enough to heat my cheeks, I fell far short of Clyde’s leisurely pace. He made me really upset and resentful.
Ding!

[Cunning’s people specialty) They suddenly had a confrontation without anyone ordering them to do.]
W-who said it was a confrontation?
I walked very gracefully to my destination, pretending that nothing had happened. Today, all lectures ended in the morning. It was because we had to conduct orientation for social clubs in the afternoon.
Clybe used the best club room on the first floor. I heard that the chairman personally ordered to give the best place because Clybe broke the record of the biggest number of members this year. The justification was plausible, but he gave preferential treatment to his grandson’s fan club in the end.
Anyway, I went into the club room of Clybe. Inside, the young ladies were already laughing and talking while looking around. With a quick glance, I checked to see if Lumio was there.  Is she not here yet? I can’t see her.
In the meantime, the young ladies found me and flocked to me.
“Lady Theresa! You’re finally here!”
“The club room is really nice! I can’t tell you how proud I’m as Clybe’s members increasing day by day.”
“Y-yes, that’s right…”
“This is all thanks to Lady Theresa, our leader. I respect you!”
“Let’s give a round of applause to Lady Theresa!”
“Uaaaah~”
Clap, clap, clap!
I received applause with a look of neither laughing nor crying. Subsequently, Theresa’s right-hand man gathered the scattered members.
“Everyone, the orientation will begin now, so gather around!”
“Yes!”
Patricia looked back at me as everyone sat down at a large table set up for the meeting.
“On a historic day like today, it is impossible not to listen to our president, right?”
“Yes!”
No. Please don’t do that. I hate things like that!
“Lady Theresa, please come forward!”
Clap, clap, clap, clap!
I reluctantly climbed onto the podium with a smile on my face at the pouring applause. To think that I, who didn’t give presentations even during group assignments, was standing in place like this. Still, I’m less nervous than I thought.
Seeing that Lumio never showed up, she seemed absent due to her poor health. It was a common occurrence in the game as well. So I decided to take it easy. After all, Theresa wasn’t an eloquent speaker anyway, and I didn’t particularly want to boost their morale.
Right. Now that this has happened, I need to announce about the club activities.
“Everyone, I welcomed you to Clybe, not Demisa. Thanks to you, we have a nice club room.”
Laughing! The young ladies burst into laughter at my greeting.
Yeah. So far, it has been a normal greeting. What I really wanted to say started from now on.
“As Clyde’s bride… to-be, we have a duty to set an example for others. Especially than Demisa.”
The existence of rivals helps each other grow. Of course, Clybe had an almost like religious belief that they should naturally beat Demisa. But oddly, even the newcomer could be seen nodding their head with a fighting spirit in their eyes.
Is this just a group of crazy people?
I went on coldly. “In the future, Clybe plans to be reborn as a group that pursues great academic achievement and outstanding personalities. So that everyone knows that we alone are the finest ladies!”
“We alone are the finest ladies…!”
Everyone seemed immersed in the social club, where I brought up the secret targets using lax words.
Ding!

I calmly set the mood with my cold, sunken eyes. “In order to do that, it would be appropriate to first ban the things that most damage our reputation in school. Do you all agree?”
“Of course.”
“You’re right, Lady Theresa!”
Everyone had an expression of bewilderment.
Good. Now that water has been spilled, the new rules have been announced.
“From now on, Clybe, as the well-educated ladies, will not chase Clyde without any special business.”
Then young ladies said, “Ah…!” as if they let out a sorrowful sigh. But not all of them were like that.
“I think it’s a necessary rule.”
Not everyone chased Clyde just because they were in Clybe. The young ladies, who were uncomfortable with that act, but couldn’t bear to say it, took this opportunity to say one word at a time.
“Not only did Lord Clyde feel uncomfortable, but it also hindered other students’ ability to listen to the lecture. I strongly agree with this rule.”
“I agree too!”
“Me too!”
Under these circumstances, everyone concluded that a new rule was necessary.
I finished with a happy smile. “That’s all I have to say. Now have a good time eating the prepared refreshments.”
“Yes!”
So far, what happened was still in common sense.”
“Do you know what I brought for today? Tada!”
Until a young lady, out of the blue, took out a large bottle of alcohol.
“Oh my goodness. What is that?”
“Hoho. 30 years old ficacci. It’s my father’s collection. I brought this strong drink because I thought it would be better for us young people to drink it so my father could live a long life.”
“What if you get caught?”
“Just try to fill the bottle with black tea of the same color as possible! Hehehe!”
The young lady next to her also took out a bottle as if she had been waiting. “I also brought the champagne my grandfather said he would open on the day my younger sibling gets married. My younger sibling won’t get married anyway!”
“Only friendly people gathered in Clybe! In fact, I also brought alcohol that my grandmother found with great difficulty 50 years ago…”
I was watching a series of processes with a ridiculous stare. If anyone hears it, they will think this is a group of unfilial ladies, not a social club.
Ding!

[This… Is this really rofan…?]
At that time, the young ladies surrounded me and poured alcohol into the glass.
“Come on, let’s start with Lady Theresa, who is the best drinker in the empire!”
“Yes? No, thanks. I can’t drink.”
“Pardon? Lady Theresa? Your joke is so funny!”
I’m not kidding. It’s real.  Although I possessed Theresa’s body, it wasn’t easy to challenge myself to drink alone as I was a light drinker. My whole body turned red from just two glasses of soju.
I took the glass rather awkwardly and paused. There was a very colorful and elegant fragrance coming from the glass. Huh? Why is it so fragrant? I tilted my head at the ecstatic scent that seemed to have no bitter taste at all. Should I just take a sip?
Sip. I widened my eyes. “…This alcohol is sweet.”
I’ve never thought alcohol was delicious, but I felt it tasted very rich. It reminded me of the fact on the day Libby returned, I drank naturally like an instinct. At that time, my heart was fine, let alone pounding. It was the same now.
I drank the rest of the alcohol at once and smoothed my lips. The alcohol stuck in my mouth.
“This is delicious.”
“Right? I thought Lady Theresa, who likes to drink, would definitely like it!”
“I want to try it too!”
The young lady took a sip of the same alcohol and coughed. “Cough, cough! What is this?! It’s bitter!”
Then another young lady next to her smiled. “I guess you haven’t tasted the bitterness of life yet. It tastes sweet to me. Because my life is more bitter…”
“Drink it! Drink it!”
