Due to the rumors of the princess and I, I was recently able to feel looks of jealousy and killing intent in the surroundings.
Sometimes they get involved with me, they hide my personal belongings, and I also get harassed.
Although everything is a misunderstanding.
Even though I was careful not to get close to the princess as much as I could, it is said that the princess and I secretly went out to the city to have a date, a totally baseless rumor began to circulate.
Rumors are really scary.
Being voluntarily exaggerated and shared by many people, it is as if everything is true.
For now it only circulates in the school, but if the rumor reached to the royal palace, I wonder if they condemn me for that.
His Majesty seems to love the princess very much.
Also, there is another rumor that has also spread.
[And also, it seems that he likes men]
[Seriously?]
[They say he does it with Cruxie who is a man in the same room every night]
Yep, itās all chaos ā¦ā¦
ćSome girls are cheering them on very excitedć
I wonder what the heck is that?
Even today, several girls said, āDonāt be intimidated!āĀ āWeāre always supporting you!āĀ āWe know!ā But I donāt know what theyāre talking about.
ćFu, Fu, Fuā¦ ..ć
Stop laughing like that.
[Well, it doesnāt matter.Ā In this situation Iāll just lock myself up and drink]
ćNo, recently you are drinking almost every dayć
When i was dining and drinking in the living room, Cruxie came out of the bathroom.
For some reason she was happy as she said āehhhhā, and then she sat next to me on the couch where I am sitting.
I could smell her shampoo, the fragrant smell shook my nose.
[That pajamas]
[Ah, did you notice? I bought it]
Cruxie wore a different nightwear.
Unlike before, it was a feminine clothing.
It is pink in color and has nice ornaments.
It must be because she no longer have to pretend to be a man in front of me.
Her appearance with her cheeks a little red and somewhat embarrassed, I could only see a girl.
Even I question myself saying, Why did I think she was a boyā¦ ..?
[What do you thinkā¦..?Ā I think itās too cute for me ā¦ā¦]
[No, I think you it suits you perfectly]
[Really?]
Praising her, Cruxie laughed a little.
So when she turned her gaze to the glass i was holdingā¦ ..
[Hey, can I drink alcohol too?]
[I think itās still too early for you]
[But, why?]
Cruxie complained and puffed out her cheeks.
[Donāt treat me like a little girl.Ā Aria-san has drunk alcohol too right?]
[Now that I remember, you are of legal age]
[Exactly.Ā So thereās no problem!]
Although Cruxie was full of confidence, I think the individual age difference is great.
I poured a fruit-based liqueur into a new glass.
With some juice.
It is a cocktail.
This should be easy to drink even for a beginner like Cruxie.
[Waa.Ā It looks like a juice]
[Still, donāt drink it so fast]
[Ok]
I donāt know how strong you are with alcohol after all.
[By the way, where is Kuu?]
[Heās sleeping in the shadows.Ā He is always sleepy at this hour.Ā Despite being a wolf, itās strange isnāt it?]
Wolves are generally nocturnal.
Well heās a Shadow Wolf who spends most of his life in the shadows, it might not matter much if itās day or night.
When we were drinking for a while, Cruxie started getting drunk.
[Lucas-kunā¦ ..]
Her cheeks were red, and she rubbed her face on my chest like a cat.
When I stroked her head, she narrowed her eyes saying āFujejejeā¦ ..ā as if she were very comfortable.
[Hey, try ā¦.. say my name]
[Cruxie]
[Not that way.Ā Make it closer to my ear, like whispering]
[Cru, xi, e]
[Axā¦ .hehehe]
It seems that Cruxie is in a āsweetā state.
Itās a bit troublesome, but itās somewhat easier than when Iām with Aria, where the tension is high and difficult to control.
[Iād like to go on a date with you, Lucas-kun]
[Eh?]
[Yes.Ā You went with Aria-san right? I want to go too]
She put her arms around my neck, and asked at a distance close enough to feel the otherās breath.
There is no way I can refuse if you ask me that way.
[It canāt be helpedā¦ .. okay]
[Yay.Ā Lucas-kun, I love you]
Then she kissed me on the lips.
ā¦ā¦ .If someone had seen it, the rumor that I like men would spread again, but she is cute, so I forgive her.

The next day, I arrived at the place where we agreed to meet.
Now the time is in the afternoon.
As there were classes today, the time to meet became this time.
ćThis is what they call, an after school date!ć
Sometimes you use words that I donāt understand well.
Cruxie hasnāt arrived yet.
I did see her in the bedroom earlier, though, and decided to go out first.
[I donāt think it was necessary to agree on a place to meetā¦ ..]
ćāMoron!Ā Dating starts from creating that atmosphere! ć
I guess so.
Speaking of which, I also had to wait for Aria at the time.
Suddenly, I felt a tug on my back.
[Cruxie?]
When I turned around thinking that she had already arrivedā¦ ..what I could see was, how to say, she was a girl with a big hat wearing a white one-piece dress.
For a moment, I thought she was a different girl.
Because it was too different from her usual appearance.
Last night, if I hadnāt seen her in her cute pajamas, it probably would have taken me longer to figure it out.
[Ahemā¦ .. I bought too.Ā What do you think?]
With some shyness, Cruxie turned around where she was.
Even if someone saw us together, I thought I shouldnāt worry about being mistaken as two men.
