The morning after the first class.
The lower-class party was heading for the “Classroom Tower” remodeled from the hut.
“School~! Classroom~! Class~!!”
Lady Ulrika looked like she was having fun.
She swung her bag around hard.
“Oops. I have to eat my morning macaron too… nom nom…”
Or so she said, and popped a macaron in her mouth.
Busy with this and that.
“Lady Ulrika, you’ll spill what’s in your bag! The macarons are crumbling out too!”
“Mm! That won’t do…”
Scolded by Olivia, Lady Ulrika drooped and settled.
Her classmates watched, looking fond.
Meanwhile they arrived at the Classroom Tower.
“I can see it. Our classroom!”
Lady Ulrika pattered off at a dead run.
Just as she reached the front of the Classroom Tower, she was suddenly called from behind.
“I’ve been waiting, you lower-class lot!”
“Hmm? You’re… Haihailin, was it!”
“Wrong! My name is Heinrich. Remember the student council president’s name at least!!”
The one who had called them was student council president Heinrich.
An irritated look on his face, he glared at Lady Ulrika.
Lady Ulrika, however, did not care at all.
“Was it. Sorry… nom nom…”
“Taking that sloppy attitude… fine. More than that, I have something I want to ask you.”
So saying, Heinrich pointed at the Classroom Tower.
“What in the world is this tower?”
“Our lower-class classroom, of course.”
“Haa? A classroom?”
“Yes. What of it?”
Charlotte stood before Heinrich, eyes sharp.
A taut tension flowed between the two glaring at each other.
“Don’t say things that make no sense. The lower-class classroom is supposed to be that wreck of a hut, isn’t it?”
“We remodeled that wreck of a hut. From today we’ll take class in this tower.”
Henry joined in; two of them glared at Heinrich.
“What nerve… that sort of thing can’t be permitted.”
“No! You did say, ‘You may spend your time here as you like.’ So we’re only spending our time as we like!”
Natasha joined as well; three of them closed on Heinrich.
“Kh… silence!”
“I won’t be silent! This is our classroom!”
“Shut up, lower class! Anyway, this sort of arbitrary thing will not be permitted!”
“We don’t need it to be permitted. We’ll only spend our time ‘as we like,’ just as the student council president said.”
Cornered, Heinrich raised his voice from sheer irritation.
“Don’t get cocky! Shall I use my authority and destroy a tower like this? Or I can even expel you!!”
“Destroy the classroom? Expel my friends…?”
Lady Ulrika’s expression clouded in a flash.
For the briefest instant, a taut tension flowed.
“Wha… what, you little thing. Do you mean to defy me?”
“If it’s only interfering with class, I’ll still put up with it… but if my friends are hurt, I will not put up with it…”
“Put up with it? Lower class like you ought to put up with it as a matter of—”
Then, with a cheerful voice, two adults arrived.
“Morning! Everyone’s early!”
Queen Victoria greeted them with a smile.
And then—
“Hohoh~! So this is the tower Lady Ulrika made.”
Headmaster Neumann had arrived.
Before the Classroom Tower, he was trembling with emotion.
“A splendid thing! As expected of Lady Ulrika… hm? If it isn’t Heinrich.”
“G… Grandfather, why are you here!?”
The stir over the Classroom Tower was far from over.
