I Favor the Villainess

The next day I learned chorus from Dr. Tridd.

I usually have a school today because it is a weekday.

Claire and I were lecturing at the museum.

Well, I looked around.

I thought about the students who had disappeared from the lecture.

Lana is under investigation for Saras in Bauer.

Eve should have been interviewed as well, and then she said she would go to Susie.

Joel was returned to Bauer for disobeying the teachings of the Spirit Church.

There are rumors that Philline was banished from the country and assassinated, although I don't believe it.

Frieda disappeared in response to Philline's expulsion.

The classroom without friendly people seems to be more difficult than it actually is.

"Ray, if you look away, you'll be warned.

Did you notice that I was over the sky? Claire grabbed my hand on the back of the pen.

"I'm sorry. I thought everyone was gone, but I kind of..."

"I know how you feel, but focus on the lecture now."

That's right.

I picked up the pen that was rolling over the notebook and tried to focus on the lecture again.

"Now... Otto, come forward and solve this problem."

……

Otto, who was pointed at by the lecturer, stood up without saying anything, and he quickly solved the blackboard problem with a calm expression.

"Okay, that's right."

……

Hearing the instructor's words, Otto returned to his seat.

I thought, oh.

I think I've explained Otto's problem a lot before, but when he was asked by his teacher to solve the problem, he always had one or two maladies.

That's as big as the cat I borrowed today.

The expression remains indifferent, but I wonder what it's like to not hear a single curse.

"Otto is acting a little strange."

"Yeah."

Claire seems to be concerned about Otto.

Don't tell me you're all here, Claire, because you're in a lecture.

I wonder if something happened.

"Do you care?

"You mean your classmates? It's not natural."

I think that Claire is healthy to say such things naturally.

I thought I was suspicious, but that's it.

Just because I'm a classmate, like Claire, I don't have a warm mind that naturally cares.

"After the lecture, would you like to ask me a few questions?

"Yes, I will."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Ah? Mesh with you guys? Why? Leave me alone."

Isn't it?

I even remembered the cleanliness of the evil so unexpectedly.

It was lunch break, so I invited Otto to lunch, but he refused.

But that doesn't mean Claire's back.

"Otto, are you in any trouble? Something's wrong, isn't it?

Claire persevered in her conversation with Otto.

Claire is the one who goes out with someone she recognizes as a family member.

On the other hand, Claire would be very aggressive against an opponent who has been identified as an enemy.

"Nothing. It's a relief."

Otto has no smell.

Neither does it smell, nor does it pick it up and make its voice rough.

In other words, it feels like the sky above.

Isn't this going to be serious at last?

"Otto, Otto."

"Until you."

"It's kind of overhead, isn't it?

"It's your fault."

"Maybe...."

"Hmm... what is it..."

Unless I miss my reading.

"Love trouble?"

"... hah... That's not true. I'm not a love brain like you guys, I'm..."

Oh, it's coming off.

I was pretty confident.

"Well, no. Let's eat here, Claire."

Shall I?

"Hey, what are you guys doing on your own?!"

If you complain, leave Otto alone and spread the lunch with Claire.

"It looks delicious today. Thank you, Ray."

"You're welcome."

"... do what you want."

Looking at us who started eating lunch without hesitation, Otto also spread out and started eating lunch.

"That lunch, Otto's handmade?

Then what is it?

No, I thought it looked delicious.

"It's like this, it's coming..."

Otto stabbed the fork in the egg grill and bite it.

"Can egg grilling be made appropriately?

"Ah? Why don't you just season it and bake it?"

"When I try to make it, there's nothing I can do about it at the time of seasoning."

"That was before the seasoning!" The eggs didn't crack properly!

Otto, that's good.

"Otto wants to be a soldier's family, but what about your parents?

"Ah? Doesn't matter, does it?"

"But Otto, you're making your own lunch, right?

"... the whole family is busy. It would be reasonable for me to make the most leisurely."

I feel like I've seen an unexpected side of Otto.

I had the worst impression of first meeting, but this way I can talk to you unexpectedly.

"Do you only have parents? Where's your brother?

"So, why are you attacking with questions just now?

"Otto can ask me another question. Come here."

"... that's not true."

Otto with crispy hair.

"Brother, sister, you're all alone."

"Hee, who are you? Are you still going to the studio?

"My sister has already graduated. Now... I'm under military training by the Imperial Army."

The tone of Otto's voice dropped obviously in the second half.

What is this...?

Onee-sama will be a soldier too.

"... I stopped my father and mother, but I can't hear you. How many times have I convinced you....."

"Is Otto against your sister becoming a soldier?

"Because it's dangerous."

"That's right. The Empire is always at war with some country, and even Onee-sama..."

"Either way, I won't!

Otto roughed up his voice.

Suddenly, Claire and I looked at each other.

"Without waiting to be assigned to the battlefield, my sister..."

"What do you mean? Anything for onee-sama?

When Claire asked, Otto seemed to have returned to me.

"... anything. Forget it."

"Otto, if you don't mind, I can help you.

"Forget it!

Otto hit his desk violently and stood up.

The whole classroom was quiet.

"? What is this...?

Something flickered into Otto's clap on the desk.

I picked it up unintentionally.

"!? Give it back!

Otto changed his blood phase and knocked it down.

But I saw it.

"... did you see that?

"Sorry, I saw it."

"Ray?"

Otto's eyes are running bloody.

This is not good.

"Otto, let's change the place. I think we need to calm down and talk."

"... chi"

"Hey, Ray! What happened to Otto?"

"Please come too, Claire. All right, Otto?

"... ahh"

We came to the unpopular courtyard to serve lunch.

When I sat on the bench that was installed, I cut out the otto.

"Otto, explain. Why are you thinking this?"

"Is that what this is about?

Claire, who was unable to swallow the situation, had a question mark on her face.

Otto kept his mouth shut.

I explained it to Claire.

Otto's planning to assassinate Dorothea.
