Just as Rossa-ojou had said in the carriage—these noble children were secretly talking about things that had never happened. Though she’d told me to not get angry, she herself hid her face behind a fan, hiding the blue lines on her forehead.
I became worried and whispered,
“(Rossa-ojou, are you alright?)”
“(I’m angry… but I’ll feign ignorance.)”
We quickly walked past the nobles and tried to the rendezvous point we agreed with Volte… but we ended up running into Prince Fox, and as expected, we got tangled up.
He waved his hand the same way he did back in KumaBear Restaurant, announcing that he’d found something interesting—and came over to our side laughing.
(Heeh, maybe it’s because his outfit is different from before, but he really does look like a prince now.)

“Ara, Your Highness Fox, good day to you… Well, who knows?”
Rossa-ojou smiled, pinched a small corner of her dress, and curtsied in greeting. Seeing that, I imitated her gesture. But for some reason, Prince Fox’s eyes narrowed and looked past Rossa-ojou and right towards me, who’d transformed into a white rabbit.
“Fu-un. By the way, Rossa-jou, who’s that cute rabbit maid with you?”
So he said, and got closer towards me. He was stopped when Rossa-ojou raised her right hand.
“Your Highness Fox… This is a school, not a social circle. Could you please keep your hand off of my maid?”
“I’m not really doing anything, though? Say, while Rossa-jou and Prince Volte are having their conversation, why not join me for tea in the garden terrace?”
“Please stop playing around, Prince Fox!”
“…!”
As other students around us watched—the prince held my hand with a charming smile on his face.
As he clasped my hand, I had a thought—as expected, I can’t deal with this guy. The moment he held my hand, I felt a shiver run down my spine… Had we been outside, I would’ve slapped his hand and told him to not touch me. But now, because we’re inside a school filled with nobles—especially since I’m working as Rossa-ojou’s maid, I have no choice but to endure it.
Plus, if I said anything, I’ll be seen through right away.
I tried to endure it, but as expected, I’ll soon be reaching my limit.
“…Let–”
“Rossa-jou, so this is where you were!… My aide informed me that you’d arrived, but since you didn’t arrive on time, I thought I’d come pick you up—hm? By the way, what is Prince Fox doing?”
My voice and Volte’s voice overlap at the same time…
(Ah, it’s Lute.)
“Good day, Your Highness Volte.”
“Heya, Rossa-jou.”
Seeing the exchange between the two of them, I felt relief at the sight of Lute, at hearing his voice—there, I saw Lute wearing an expensive outfit, which is different from what he usually wore. Over there, stood—Prince Volte in clothes befitting a member of royalty.
