“You weren’t at the dining hall even though it’s already lunch time, so I was wondering where you are! I didn’t know that you’re having a carefree tea party in such a secluded place!”
“That’s because I didn’t say anything.”
“Shut up!!”
You’re the one asking, and yet you’re snapping at me when I answered you. How absurd.
I was scowling at her, but the lackey thoroughly ignored me as she briskly strode towards us.
“I’ve been searching for you all over the place! And Lufure-sama is also with you — what’s the meaning of this!?”
“Even if you asked that —”
It had nothing to do with me.
I’m not the one who invited him here in the first place, so if you’re not satisfied with something, then why don’t you just complain to his face, huh? — those were my thoughts as I turned towards Lufure-sama, who was supposedly happily arguing with Lidianne, but…
‘Huh?’
He was gone.
Lufure-sama completely vanished into thin air. Lidianne was the only person there, and she shook her head wordlessly.
“….”
I shut my eyes and took a deep breath.
I tried opening them again, and took another deep breath once I confirmed that Lufure-sama’s figure was nowhere to be found.
“That deity, he ran away, didn’t he!!”
It’s no wonder that it strangely became quiet all of a sudden!
I could still sense his divine aura, so he didn’t seem to have gone very far, though.
‘Really, how irresponsible, disappearing on us just like that now! Even though he is a deity, for crying out loud!’
Rozalie’s toady was here, so perhaps she was also nearby.
His danger detection was superb, but my faith in him dropped to the bottom.
It was hardly there to begin with, but right now, it turned completely zero.
Unforgivable!

….I was quivering. Rozalie’s underling must have wondered what’s wrong with me as she grimaced.
Fury was written all over her face as she grabbed my shoulders.
“So what Rozalie said was true!!”
She gazed at me with all seriousness — then she blurted something totally unexpected.
“You’re the worst! You’re really seducing Lufure-sama!!”
“HAAAHHHHHH!!!!!????
Did you see that!? What did you see!?
Where the heck did that came from!?
“That’s impossible! No way! Absolutely NO WAY!!!”
I violently shook my head, enough for people to wonder whether it would come off from my neck.
Her actions so far had been unexpected, but this! This way of thinking, there was absolutely no way that was true!
“And why do I have to seduce Lufure-sama, huh!? That saucy, impertinent foul-mouthed brat!”
“See! Aren’t you on good terms! Rozalie even saw you walking at night, just the two of you!!!”
“That was just force majeure…!”
Adoracion-sama was the one who ordered Lufure-sama to carry the packages.
She said we get along, but that was far from reality! We did nothing but fight, and any form of seduction simply never happened at all.
‘N-no! There’s one instance, the first time we met!’
I wasn’t sure if you could call that seduction — but he did gazed at me as a man, and he did whisper in my ear.
It did send my heart racing for a bit at that time. Still!
‘That’s not counted! I kicked him out eventually, after all!’
I shook the memory of Lufure-sama’s mature face off my mind, and stared resolutely back at Rozalie’s follower.
“Whatever! Even if that didn’t happen, there’s no way Rozalie will listen to you in her current state! You’re definitely going to suffer!!”
“Suffer, what do you mean by that! So you’ve been searching for me just to make me suffer!?”
"
"
You’re the worst! — I spat those words out.
At any rate, it was Rozalie’s instigation for sure.
She used her underling to look for me, I was sure of it.
The minion roughly rocked my shoulders.
“Idiot! Stupid!!!! — It’s the opposite!!”
“What do you mean by idiot, huh!…. Wait, opposite?”
I was stupefied for a second, taken aback by her surprising words as she drew her face closer to me.
That was when I finally noticed how desperate she looked.
Her face was drained of color, her breathing rough —
She yelled at me, her voice filled with terror.
“I’m searching for you so that you won’t ! If you meet Rozalie now — it won’t just end with food scraps thrown at you!”
The sky was bright, the sunlight warm. It was such a peaceful afternoon, but her screams made me stand frozen on the spot. She tried to drag me, urging me to run away — and behind her…
“So.”
Somebody was standing in the midst of a dark shadow.
For an instant, I wondered why there was a shadow only at that place, but — it was different.
There was nothing blocking the sun in that place, and yet she was concealed in that shadow.
“You’ll also betray me, huh.”
It was a low, soft whisper — Rozalie silently narrowed her eyes in the midst of that shadow.
