I Favor the Villainess

When it comes to the Knights of the College, it sounds good, but the reality is that it is also a choreographer.

There are similarities around here with modern Japanese student councils.

Complaints received from college students must be handled plainly, one by one.

"Lately, at night, there are ghosts."

This is what Lady Claire and I were assigned from such complaints.

Anything, in the evening, ghosts began to be witnessed in the College Girls' Dormitory... as well as suspicious figures.

Lady Claire Habu said it was arranged with me, but sometimes I was a maid with Claire, and it was passed almost unanimously.

Master Claire seemed dissatisfied until the end.

By the way, I'm just listening to every single witness right now.

I'm intrigued as far as I'm concerned because I don't even remember a case like this happening in the game.

"Oh, yeah. Heh..., hmm..."

No heart or Master Claire looks upset, but I don't care about that.

Listen further to the female student of the witness.

"Where are the sightings?

"My friend saw the stairs between the second and third floors, but what I saw was the cooking room."

"It's a city, isn't it? What's so special about ghosts?

I asked further as I took notes.

"Right...... I didn't realize it was a ghost at first. When I approached him suspiciously, he hung the water."

"Mi, is it water?

"Yes, it could be the ghost of a girl who drowned in a college river"

"Hih."

Lady Claire breathed.

"What's wrong, Master Claire?

"Hey, nothing."

Obviously it doesn't look like anything, but I wouldn't dare scratch it.

"Thank you for sharing your valuable story"

"Absolutely, get rid of it."

"... good afternoon"

I thanked him and left the witness.

"Shall we go to the crime scene next?"

"... why don't you just be alone?

"What are you talking about? You two are more efficient than looking for clues on your own."

"Oh yeah..."

Reluctantly, I walk for the cooking room with Claire, who looks something like that.

I'm sure you already know a good person, but Master Claire doesn't like haunts.

I have a college routine event called Undead Hunt in the summer, but I seriously adore Master Claire for scaring haunts.

Maybe it's just me.

It is for that reason that Claire is wary and I am ecstatic that occultic complaints have been handled by chance.

"Right here."

"It's locked, right? I can't help it. Later here..."

"Oh, I borrowed it"

"... yes"

Open the old-fashioned cylinder lock.

Cooking rooms lined with various cooking utensils were well cleaned up.

It smells so sweet.

Maybe even the sweets were baked.

Cooking rooms in college dormitories are mainly used for personal hobbies of college students and when they want a little tea.

The dining room is used for three meals, so it's an exception.

If you're noble, your entourage makes something, and if you're civilian, you cook it yourself.

I don't care if I make it, it would be like a tea treat or snack.

"Please look near the entrance, Master Claire. I look in the back."

"Don't give me orders!

"So does Master Claire look in the back?

"... you have no choice. I'll give it to you."

Even at this time, I can stick around, so Master Claire's twinkling is quite something.

I've been splitting up and searching for a while...

"Hih!? Civilians! Ray!"

I heard Master Claire scream.

"What's up?

"Ah... that...!...... why are you half laughing?

"Oh, excuse me. Master Claire is adorable and stubborn."

"You're not kidding me at this time. That's better than that, that!

When I looked at the tip to which Master Claire pointed, something gel-shaped was creeping.

"What would it be...... I don't think it's just dirt."

I held my hand close to take a sample.

"Don't touch it! What will you do if something happens!

"Is that it? Are you worried?

"I don't want to get involved!

Eh, is Delle keeping it?

"You have no choice. Let's turn it over to the analytics department."

The college is an educational facility, but at the same time a state-of-the-art research facility.

This neighborhood stands close to modern Japanese universities.

The Analytics Department is one of the facilities in the College, and as its name suggests, it analyzes the subject.

It seems to have been a musical standing before, but since the discovery of the demonic stone, the object of analysis has shifted to something magical.

You think some researchers are analyzing demons?

"Even so, there doesn't seem to be any more clues here"

"Let's get out of here."

"Right. We'll come back at night."

"... what?

I looked at Lady Claire when she heard something incredible.

"At night, you might find out the truth."

"So, but you are. What do you really do when there's a ghost out there?

"If you want to get caught, why don't you get rid of it?"

Play with the frightened Lady Claire.

"Well, isn't that what the military does?

"Whatever the monophonic undead is, the Knights of Haunted College is enough. You don't have ghosts, do you?"

"Well, that's true, but there's also that gel-like substance earlier..."

"He said it's okay. I'll protect you."

"Please don't be stupid!? You can protect yourself as much as you want!

Oh, I'm getting better gradually.

"Well, then, the real thing is night."

"Ha...... Why do you seem to have so much fun..."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

And around midnight, Master Claire and I came to the cooking room again.

Unlock it and go inside.

"... nothing, right?

Sounds like it.

"Look, there was nothing unusual. I'm sure the ghost was wrong about something."

"Just in case, we'll see how it goes overnight"

"Here it is!?

Master Claire will lie, he makes a face.

"It's okay. Tell Lene I've got bedding for you."

A futon was available in the corner of the cooking room.

"You were going to do that from the start, weren't you?

"Yes."

It is a pseudo sleepover date with Master Claire.

"I'll get you a futon."

"Hey! Are you really going to reveal the night here!?

"Isn't that right?

With my Lady Claire on my ass, I made a futon.

"Yes, let's go to bed then"

"You only laid one! There are two of them, so lay them down."

"Huh? 'Cause then you can't sleep in the same futon as Claire."

"That's fine!

"You're so selfish."

"It's me!? Am I wrong!?

I had no choice but to prepare two futons.

"Master Claire must be in the futon first."

"What do you do?

"I thought I'd have a little night meal."

I have permission to use the kitchen.

I took out the ingredients and started weighing.

"... you cooked, too."

"If you're a civilian, that's normal."

"... you're right"

"But I've been trying new recipes lately. That's funny."

"It is. It's a civilian hobby."

Lady Claire says that because nothing is happening, she is back to her usual condition.

"... so you can always use it on my side. When are you cooking?

"You sneak in the middle of the night,"

"Oh yes... of...?

So Lady Claire's expression solidified.

"In the middle of the night...... in the cooking room?

"Yes."

"No way...... What's the ghost in the cooking room...?

"Yes, I think it's about me!

"I'm leaving!

Lady Claire trying to flaunt the futon and go home to her room.

A blue object blocked it.

"Hih! So, I'm out!

"Take a good look, Master Claire. It's Rare."

"Huh...?

Ralea appeals to herself by pretending and trembling.

I can't deal with Ralea while I'm cooking, so I'm letting her out of my bag and free.

"So, who is that gel, too?

"Yes, I think it's rare"

"... being a really noisy owner and pet"

Lady Claire groaned with a fed up face.

"I apologize for keeping it quiet. Please take this one to apologize."

I offered the finished dish.

"What's this?

"It's a new treat. I hope it fits Lord Claire's mouth."

"What are you talking about? What's right for my mouth, if it's not Blue Me Class -"

Master Claire, who says so but takes a bite.

Well, I might be trying to taste it down.

"!? It's delicious!? What is this? It's like a cake, and there's something inside..."

"It's a dish called Fondant au Chocolat. Inside the chocolate cake is warm and melted chocolate"

"Chocolate is a state-of-the-art treat that Blume has just recently started. I can't believe you can make sweets that apply it... who are you really?

Master Claire looked at me with the same eyes as she looked at the nagging thing again.

Your eyes tend to be charming.

"Who is the slave to Lord Claire's love?

"So don't delude me with that kind of joke!

"Fair enough. It's a treat that doesn't taste good when it's cold. Please enjoy it early. I'll make you some tea now."

"Not at all...... But this treat is lovely. I commend you."

"Thank you"

In the sweet aroma, Claire and I had tea time together.

After that, we talked about something unusual and irregular, and eventually, we fell asleep in the cooking room.

"Way to go, great success on your stay date"

Seeing Master Claire in her sleep, I gasped small.

"... you're so loud... munya"

Master Claire's sleeping face is an angel.
