"Please let me go"
"You're really strong."
That's what Lady Duke put me down gently on the ground.
Of course, since I went into Duke's classroom.
Oh, that's a lot of attention.
One of the school's most popular haters came into the classroom...
I guess I have a stronger impression of a bad girl than a bad one.
"Why is Alicia here?
That's what your brother Albert said first.
He's looking at me from the back seat.
Kind of a college class. It's a big room...
Well, I've never been to college.
The more I look over, the higher I feel.
"You're taking classes with us today."
Master Duke said that with no expression.
Could Duke have given this look to Brother Albert?
"The boy with you?
Master Gail stared at Jill with a strange look.
Jill stares at Master Gail without fear.
... To be honest, I want to get out of here.
Something I don't feel like wearing anything when I take a class in this atmosphere.
But if I run away here, I'm disqualified as a bad girl...
This is really a terrible development.
"Look, get in your seat quickly."
I heard a soft calm voice from behind.
This voice...
I turned around slowly.
He is, indeed, the one who gave me Mr. Liz's paper two years ago.
"Dr. John?
When I said that, Dr. John opened his eyes a little.
"Oh, you remember me."
Dr. John smiled and pointed a warm smile at me.
Oh, it's kind of fresh.
I can't believe I could smile like that at this school.
"Dr. John, from today on Alicia will be taking classes here"
That's what Master Duke said as he looked into Dr. John's eyes.
You don't ask, you say it like a declaration.
I guess I don't have to put so much pressure on it.
Nothing nasty stubborn... I'm not a grandfather.
You call someone like Dr. John your grandfather, right? I knew Grandpa Will was your uncle.
The first time I saw it, I just thought I was a grandfather because I was pretty young.
"Sure."
With that said, Dr. John agreed.
... I would have liked you to say no.
Such a desire of mine vanished in an instant.
Master Duke grabbed my wrist and started going up the stairs one step at a time.
The tallest seat in the deepest is where the five nobles sit...... Looks like Mr. Liz is sitting down, too, by way of exception.
Oh, I don't want to go.
And even if they don't grab my hand, I won't run away. You'll get caught right away if you run.
I don't want to gaze at Mr. Liz.
I walked out of sight of anyone.
I can see the gaze from all of the classrooms being directed at me.
What a day to be noticed. That's the worst way to get attention, too.
And I stayed in my seat, although I was made to be Master Duke.
