—Ugh, even Ragri laughed at me…

From the time he was still serving Prince Redmond, I’d never seen him speak. Even Prince Redmond himself said, “He’s competent, but he’s too quiet.”

…To be laughed at by someone like that.

I couldn’t help but feel depressed.

—Now that it has come to this, I have no choice but to quietly escape!

I asked Ragri, who was still smiling, while tasting the fruit I’d received from Irene.

“So, why did you want to become my attendant?”

“Judging from your tone of speaking, it doesn’t seem like you’ll be changing your exclusive butler anytime soon?”

Certainly, Ragri was the one who learned the identity of the one behind (suspected) my bullying… Based on the outcome of the match, I have to make him my exclusive attendant…

So, I let it slip—

“…Silver is good enough for me.”

“All right, I’ll relay that to Prince Grimwald.”

“Huh?”

After turning him down, I glanced at him, but he’d already reverted to his usual aloof self.

“In the first place, it was an order from Prince Grimwald. He said, ‘As my attendant, you have to take revenge for your master!’”

—the natural-born yandere.

I thought he was depressed, but in truth he was obsessed.

“These siblings… They’re nothing alike.”

“Is that so?”

When I sighed out my frustration, Ragri didn’t seem to share the sentiment.

“I think they’re quite similar in the way neither of them can be honest with those they admire.”

“Nnn?”

 Ragri burst out laughing.

“I spoke too much. Perhaps I’ve gotten drunk? This is my first time ever experiencing something so ridiculous.”

—I agreed with him, somewhat.

Is he making fun of me? I smiled wryly. Suddenly he leaned over. “It’s fun.” Feeling the weight of his head on my shoulder, I almost said, “Hawawa!”

“—Hey!! Bonus yandere over there!! Stay away from Milady!!”

Silver, who was serenading on the table, suddenly rushed over. When he arrived, he smacked Ragri on the head with the ladle he had been holding.

However, Ragri only cocked an eyebrow.

“Except, I won the match, so I deserve this as a reward. Or would you like to surrender your position as her exclusive butler instead?”

“Absolutely not!”

“I know, I know. Especially after the person herself said that she prefers another. I’m not one to impose my servitude upon others.”

“R-Ragri!?”

—What are you saying!?

But it was too late.

Silver was leering at me.

“I never realized you liked me that much?”

“…I just didn’t find the unilateral and sudden change in personnel welcomed.”

“Is that so~?”

Enough already. This is the worst. Even Ragri is laughing. His personality is awful.

At the same time, there seemed some who disliked the sight. The ringleader grabbed Silver’s arm.

“Hey, Silver! Why?”

“Well, it’s obvious?”

“Huh?”

Silver’s direct answer made the girl freeze.

He shook off her hand and turned away. Naturally, he returned to the table at the center.

Holding a ball, Silver made a bold statement.

“It’s true that everyone here is my lady, but I belong to Lady Lumiere. I’ve had enough with love that can be bought with money. In this world, that alone I can’t give up on, thank you!”

The declaration incited condemnation from those around me.

However, Silver only smirked.

“Isn’t that fine? You can still get wet simply from listening to my voice and climax because of my gaze.”

Immediately after that, an explosive cheer boomed in the venue.

—“Get wet?” “Climax?”

Was he inviting them to a picnic in the rain? Without any umbrellas? It sounds like fun, but if more than fifty people were to catch a cold simultaneously, I’d be the one to bear the brunt of it. …So please don’t.

Also, how should I explain today’s bill to my father?

Even if I paid it using my own money, as a student, I always reported my expenses to my parents.

They’d either be surprised or make me suffer their wrath during the long vacation. Merely thinking about it was enough to make me decide against drinking that night. Well, everyone only had juice, though…

Ugh, Silver’s making starting a commotion again.

It seemed that the madness would last until morning…
