Hated Young Lady Accepts Her Fate

The library in the back of the first floor of the west wing existed securely there without any noticeability.

There are no extra decorations, just thick doors nestled to protect the place, releasing a sense of pressure that rejects what comes.

You can't hear anything from a room that's blocked by a heavy door.

That exterior alone won't tell you where this door leads.

Hiraki, shifting his gaze next to the door.

Decorative boards, small and marked LIBRARY, were the only ones to play that role.

"It's been a while since I've been here."

Katsung and clear shoe sounds in the hallway where no one is.

Until I came here, I was no different than anyone else. That's not because the students came home after school or why I said that.

Maybe fewer than half the people in this school who have come to this library.

"... you're not feeling well."

That's how he squeals, pulls the decorative door and goes inside.

As soon as possible, the distinctive smell flutters on my nose. If you take a step without worrying about it, all of a sudden your vision is filled with soft light and a fantastic sight pops in.

The blowout ceiling was high, and the walls were narrowly lined with books.

The interior is so large that you can't see the whole thing from the entrance.

"It's brilliant whenever you see it."

Unexpectedly the words of admiration leaked out of my mouth.

The library at this school houses an amazing collection of books.

While graduates will make donations and donations at all costs, they will continue to do more and more.

Even though it seems like a great thing to say, I've only been using this library since I started repeating the past year.

At the second repetition, to be exact. I have used this library several times to cut people off and kill their spare time.

I didn't want to talk to anyone, though, so I was just here to borrow a book.

(Well, even if I didn't mind so much, I hardly had any students using this library...)

That was a very unfortunate thing to do, and it was also a thankful thing from me for the second time.

Most students in this school are not interested in studying.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are not here to do academics, but to build friendships.

It's more or less about scholars and politicians, such as those who need to study, and if you're going to study, you should be hiring a good tutor at home.

I don't like to use the library until after school.

"As always, no one is here..."

I don't see any shadows as far as I can see from the entrance.

Closed letters on the door of the office. On the counter nearby, a small bell is placed along with the letter 'If you need me, ring the bell' to the extent that I'm sorry.

You've never seen this place open.

I don't ring the bell, I step out into the forest of books to find the person I want.

I can't feel the signs of people, but if you believe Esther's words, he should still be there.

I guess the other person has already noticed the footsteps echoing the cuttlefish.

Look around between the bookshelves and the bookshelves in order from end to end.

- Pelari.

I look around even more attentively at the small sound of turning thin paper and wondering if I can even hear the sound of pages in the quiet room.

(... that one)

I found one behind the last bookshelf, a young man with a book open.

Are you passionate about reading or are you turning the page on the spot holding a few books beside you?

He doesn't even look like he's going to turn his face here, even though you've already noticed my presence thanks to the sounding footsteps.

"... are you Theobolt Sterling?

Take a little distance from him and speak up.

Then he slowly raised his face from the book, as if to respond to the call.

"Oh, you..."

With a gentle grin, he looks a little surprised to see this one.

Judging from his condition, apparently he didn't really notice this one. I wonder how focused I was on the book.

"Yeah, that's right. I'm Theobolt, Senior Amelia Wellesley."

When I said that, I tilted my little neck, and my hair swayed with color very similar to the cloudy sky.

The crying black child in his right eye pairs with his narrowed eyes and looks as if he's having a crying laugh.

"... do you know me?

Suddenly they call my name from Theo's mouth to surprise me and heighten my vigilance.

At the time they delivered the handkerchief, I knew you would know I existed. Even I know his name.

But knowing the name is not the same as knowing the face.

(Plus... it hasn't been that long since I cut my hair)

To see the reactions around me, they say I'm not tied to that at first glance after my hair breaks with me before my hair breaks.

If he knows me now, that means he's already seen me somewhere in this haircut.

(Then why didn't you return the handkerchief...)

Though he looks at Theo unexpectedly with a staring glance, he leaves his smile and calm grin strapped to his face without showing a bare gesture of particular concern.

"Hehe, don't be so surprised"

A gentle chirping voice and a soft smile make me a little wary and lose my shoulder strength.

At that moment when he exhaled all the time, Theo took the word further at a time as if he had foreseen it.

"Seniors are celebrities, right? Mr. Wolfgang's fiancée and sister to Vice President Wellbellsley... we have heard that all female students are admirable."

"It's not as good as saying."

I was delighted with that special position before, but now it's just a shackle.

When we get to this position, we can have a miserable end soon. Plus it comes with an option to taste it over and over again.

If it came from a human being who didn't know about it, he might have thought it was a very high-speed response.

Though I was curious and turned to Theo, he only deepened his grin at the answer.

"So, what did that senior Amelia Wellesley give me?

"... Yep. I came to thank you for picking up this handkerchief."

That's what I said, take the handkerchief out of the bag and show it to Theo.

Theo just nods at that handkerchief without looking particularly surprised. Open your mouth immediately as if you had anticipated it beforehand.

"Thank you for taking the time. I can't believe you came to thank me yourself."

I'm glad. That's what I said, tilt my neck, and shake my forehead.

"But that's not all, is it?

Softly, the narrowed eyes open only slightly.

Because of my smile earlier, I feel like the atmosphere has changed with just that change in my expression.

"Yeah, there was something I wanted to ask you. May I ask where you picked this up?"

Lift the handkerchief in your hand.

Theo, who shifted his gaze to it, nodded lightly and acknowledged when he made a grin and a gentle grin again.

"Of course. But before that..."

Pathan. Close the book he had in his hand.

Returning the closed book to the shelf, he walked toward us in a quiet foothold.

"Shall we move the place? I don't know how many users we have, but this is the library."

Not long after I'm confused by the abrupt suggestion, I snort unexpectedly at that smile without saying whether or not.

"And you say you don't correct the crown under the luggage. If someone sees me and you here alone, it could create unnecessary misunderstandings."

"... you're absolutely right. What I did was frivolous."

He tells me to reflect.

I've come this far with momentum, but if they do see me talking as if I'm going to meet in such a deep place, I don't know what the rumors are.

Honestly follow him to the entrance and exit of the library.

"Please wait a moment"

When he puts the book he had on the counter, he takes me straight out of the library.

"Are you sure you don't want to borrow it?

"Yeah, I'll be back later."

That said, I take a bunch of keys out of my uniform pocket and lock the door.

As I watched with surprise, I laughed like I was in trouble as Theo showed me the key in his hand that I noticed this way.

"I don't have a teacher today, so I'm keeping the keys."

"Oh, I see... sometimes you say that."

He's a member of the student council, and I guess he's trusted.

"Shall we go?"

Theo walks out after the lock, so he rushes after him.

Theo talked to me before he tried to ask me where I was going.

"... fell in front of the upstairs restaurant."

"Huh?"

"It's a handkerchief. You heard that earlier, didn't you?

"Yeah, yeah. That's right. Thank you."

I was just wondering if we were going to move the place and then talk, and all of a sudden I got cut off from the point of view and wandered a little.

Nevertheless upstairs restroom......

That reminds me of being ambushed by my glasses in front of the restaurant during my day off.

I was in a hurry to get off the spot then, so I dropped it on that clap... there is certainly a chance.

"But you've often found it to be my handkerchief. There are a lot of people with the same initials.

"Yes, there are seven students with A.W initials in the Higher Department, including seniors, two in the second grade, of whom only you are a woman"

"... how did you know that?

"Arrange your students' names in alphabetical order and you'll see."

Like nothing else, I'm flabbergasted by Theo, who smiles back at me.

Surely this school does not have a large number of students. Nevertheless, what he said is an artist who cannot do without knowing the names of all grades of students.

He said he just got up to the high ground...

"Because students in this school just lift. Even if not, we often meet at parties, etc."

He presents Pompom and his answers to me when I am distracted and unable to ask questions.

Though I've been thinking about it since earlier, say you can reach the itchy spot, say you have a good lead, a man sharp inside that doesn't suit a calm look.

"And, well, tell me something cool, but when I seeded it, I saw my senior and Mr. Alston talking there, and that's the deciding factor."

Hit and change from the earlier beautiful smile, frowning at the root and laughing slightly illuminated.

I get the impression that the year is appropriate as soon as possible.

"Did you see that?!?

Now I feel flattered in a different way than earlier.

I was going to be careful around, but I can't believe they were watching me...

"Yeah, as we go down the stairs. What I saw was a senior walking away at an amazing speed and Arthur's back chasing it."

Well, then I can snort that I didn't realize.

Besides, if you did see the scene, it's a natural flow to think the handkerchief falling nearby is mine.

"I thought I'd go after him right away, but he seemed to be taking it in, so I took care of it temporarily."

"I would rather have heard from you..."

Then I might have been able to do something about my glasses.

But I was able to convince myself by listening.

As Esther said, I guess picking up a handkerchief is an unwavering fact. Though I won't apologize to her.

(... but that would still be weird)

Two handkerchiefs I received today. Both of them are handkerchiefs that I dropped today.

If you were dropping it on that break, you can't drop a handkerchief in front of that suspicious person.

(but...... No, I guess I still brought two)

There is indescribable disgust like a small bone stung in my throat, but I am forced to convince myself.

"Senior, you don't forget anything, do you?

"Huh? Yeah."

Re-conscious to the voices spoken.

I was totally obsessed with the story, but at some point I had reached the lifting mouth.

(... Why, lift?

Shortly after wondering, Theo walks straight out with Stasta in an unmistakable foothold.

Where the hell is he headed, though he hastily continues to be left behind?

I don't see Esther or Scott anywhere, although I go out and look around a little bit.

To the boulder, I guess I've already left.

"Senior, what's wrong? He's got a face that won't float."

I asked Theo another thing that bothered me, not stopping me from walking.

"You don't have to bother asking Esther about the handkerchief, but you can tell the servant."

"Then it might arrive late under seniors. Actually, I thought I'd deliver it, but I saw you on the road. Senior Monroe offered to deliver it."

I see he was also thinking about my concerns.

"You are very kind..."

Though I thought I was talking, I was surprised because it was very different from the images I had heard from Scott and Esther.

Isn't he more of a loving good young man than an unwilling, unscrupulous student?

The vigilance and suspicion that I now had about him has become so foggy.

"It's not like this to anyone. I bought it for my seniors. All the rumors in my ear are hilarious..."

He hangs up his words once and turns to this one.

"And"

That's what I said, with a grin and a deep, meaningful grin.

"Seniors, you'll love cats"

"Huh?"

"Come on, we're here."

To Theo's words, he turns his neck back to the front, which was toward him. When I realized it, I walked over to the main entrance of the school at some point.

A short distance away, I look at this one and I see Al waiting.

"Then I'll do it. I'd love to see you at the tea party next time."

Theo, smiling, waved gently and went straight back the way he had just come.

"... Yes, thank you"

I drop that back off in vain.

Did they send you to do it... did they bother you?

I got a good answer to this question, and there's nothing wrong with it...

"I don't know, I don't know."

I may have to rewrite the impression that I felt like a good young man earlier.

(I don't know if that's a fox, not a cat...)

Or raccoon.

Al comes this way at the same time as he returns to school.

"Welcome back, lady. It was a long time ago."

"Yeah, I had a little something for the wild."

Give Al the bag and walk straight to the carriage.

I was just about to pick you up a little later.

I remind Al, who calls from behind a little bit, to look at this one by the school gate and convince him.

Apparently, he was worried about me for himself.

"You worried about me."

"No, I'm your daughter's butler, so it's obvious."

"... right"

To Al's words, then you wouldn't worry if it wasn't my butler? And I stopped trying to be mean.

Because it was a question that neither he nor I would gain.

(Speaking of which, Al could be repeating the past year too...)

If so, it would be a medium hell for him, even if he had no memory.

Just a disgraceful background where even I was swept away to say that the nobility I was serving was fallen.

If it was at least three years ago...... I could have done something a little more.

(Three years ago, even Al wouldn't have been able to say anything would have changed)

Nothing changes in a year, he said before. But if you can go back to childhood, you want to be better.

(Though I thought it was only serious then... maybe that was a sincere wish for him)

I'm sure if Al had been better than he is now...... because he definitely wouldn't have been by my side.

"... I'm sorry, Al"

Al must have been a little surprised by my sudden apology, but received an apology for worrying about it. I smile a little troubled and shake my head.

"What happened all of a sudden? You mustn't apologize to a servant or anything, young lady."

"Yeah, I said something that wasn't even in the pattern. Let's go home."

Neither did Al say anything more in particular, and the return remained mutually silent.

When we get to the mansion, we immediately go down the carriage and walk out.

Alfred, who sees my impatience, rushes after me later.

"Ma'am? What's wrong?

"Al, I'd like to think alone for a while. I'm in the garden, so if you need anything, come and get me."

That's what I said, then I give Al another bag and head to the garden.

I really wanted to change my uniform, but now I just wanted to see my cat.

But I headed early. There, I don't see the cat.

"... I wonder if you haven't come yet"

Look around as you breathe.

There is no one but me in that quiet space surrounded by green.

"Well, for a little while, you can wait for him."

Squirting like that, laying a handkerchief on a seemingly soft lawn and falling back.

The sky that looked up was gradually starting to stain with inclination twists and pearls.

"... please come quickly"

In the end I waited until the sun went down as it was, but the cat never came to the garden that day.
