Chapter 21
Guttenbelt and Rainzurich

Translated by AYA Translation

The dining room at the magic school was modeled like cafeteria.

Students ordered their meal at counter and brought the tray by them self to their table. Menus were pretty gorgeous with food items such as pancakes and crepes.

Janet who brought her order from counter was very excited because she can enjoy lunch with Ferris. However, when she arrived at the table, she almost dropped her food tray.

“Wha-wha-why is Alicia Guttenbelt  here!?”

“Because I’m also student here…”

“We always eat together…”

Alicia and Ferris answered with blank face.

“What…!? What about lunch with just two of us? After that we would drive a carriage, and keep going until forever!?”

“I never heard you say such thing.”

“I said it, in my heart!”

“In your heart!?”

Ferris could only be bewildered when she heard Janet’s desperate answer and flustered when she compared Janet’s face and Alicia’s.

(How much until this Guttenbelt person is satisfied with standing in Rainzurich’s way…?)

Janet grasp her tray tightly to the point it could be break anytime, and smiled.

“Guttenbelt-san? I have some request for you, could you leave this place…?”

“Err… but I haven’t even started eating my food yet…”

“Then, I will leave … I and Ferris.”

“Wait, where will you take Ferris?”

“Hurry! Let her go! At this rate, it will become awful.”

“What was that? I won’t let Ferris get abducted.”

Ferris’ right and left arms were pulled by two beautiful girls. It might look like a good thing, to be pulled by two beautiful girls, but the force was too big.

“I’m gonna breaaaaakkkk!!!”

The two of them immediately let Ferris’ hands go after she screamed.

Janet holding her mouth with pale face.

“I-I am sorry…. That’s… that’s not what I mean…. I, I am going to wash my heart and start oveeeeerrrrrr….”

“Janet-san! You can’t bring the tray out from dining roooommm….!”

Janet tried to escape with her fluttering skirt, but Ferris jumped out and clung onto Janet’s arm, stopping her in her tracks.

“Fe-Ferris, you… You are to bold…!”

Ferris earnestly asked Janet who was flustered.

“Ano, ano, fighting is no good! Why can’t Janet and Alicia be good friend?”

“Because Rainzurich and Guttenbelt family have been competing for key positions since long time ago.”

“Bu, but, that’s the circumstance of the house right? There’s no need for Janet and Alicia to be on bad terms….”

“It’s mine too, she always shoves things down my throat you know! Always, since the time we’ve entered the school we’ve always competed over the top position!”

“Eh? Is that so?”

“However, no matter what kind of test it is, I always get second! I always get second no matter how desperate I studied. It’s Guttenbelt fault that I am eternally in second place!”

Janet punches the wall.

“Then, the, Janet and Alicia are good friend after all.”

“Ha, hah….? What are you talking about…? Didn’t you hear….”

“Because, you two are always watching each other to that degree! I’m sure you two are a good rival! A friendly rivalry!”

Ferris put her hand together and smiled with a “niko niko”.

That smile of angel should be able to purify Janet, but.

“I, impossible!”

“It’s possible! I, I don’t want two people I love fighting each other.”

“Lo, love… love… love… we, well, if Ferris hope so, I will be careful to not have to  fight…”

Janet was having steam blowing out from her hot cheek.

“How about three of us make a team at expedition training this time? If it’s like that, we can absolutely get along.”

Ferris said that while looking at Alicia.

“Well… as for me I have no objection…”

Alicia give a quick glance to Janet but Janet shake her head sideways.

“To cooperate with Guttenbelt is impossible!”

“Also, staying together with Janet-san seems very fun.” Ferris shyly added.

“I will do my best to go together!”

Janet reply immediately.
