[A Mysterious Beautiful Girl Appears?]
It was finally time for the afterparty.
Tayte and I made our way to the sports ground, along with many other students.
It was where the student council organized the afterparty.
We had changed into outfits that suited the occasion, and the excitement of the other students kind of overwhelmed me.
“Everyone is so excited!”
“Y-yeah.”
I couldn’t find any memories in regards to any afterparty in Barrett’s memory. But he should have attended the school festival last year… the fact that he had no memory of it, however, suggested otherwise. Did he really not attend?
As I was lost in thought, three excited boys walked by in front of us.
“Did you see that girl?!”
“Yeah!”
“She was such a cutie!”
Upon closer look, it turned out they were familiar faces.
“Is that Patrick? And Charles and Kyle too.”
They had been Barrett’s lackeys and used to bully Raul. However, they did it only because they had been ordered by Barrett; they were actually very kind people. Their parents were merchants with ties to the Albers family, so they had no choice but to obey Barrett.
Well, that was all over after I had reincarnated as Barrett.
But who were they talking about?
“Charles.”
“Oh! Lord Barrett!”
As usual, Patrick and the gang called me with the honorific ‘Lord’. I had told them—as well as Raul—to just call me by my name, but they refused.
Well, that aside…
“Who’s the cute girl you were talking about just now?”
““““Eh.””””
The three of them, plus Tayte, stared at me in surprise. There was something unsettling about the look in their eyes…
“Ah!”
That line could be misleading… listener might interpret it in a bad way.
“No, you’ve got me wrong! I was just—a little interested in her!”
Ah, I felt like I just made it worse…
Before I made a bigger fool of myself, I cleared my throat and said, “I already have a wonderful fiancée, Tayte, so I have no intention of seeing that girl in a romantic way. I’m simply a little interested in what kind of girl is it that made you guys talk about her so animatedly.”
I tried to speak as calmly as possible, but… was it kind of forced?
“I-I knew it!”
“Indeed, there is no way Lord Barrett would set his eyes on a girl other than Lady Tayte!”
“Exactly my thought!”
Ah.
They believed me.
As their representative, Patrick told me the characteristics of the girl they had seen earlier. “That girl was a beauty with long blonde hair and chivalrous eyes.”
“Right. The air about her screamed noble lady.”
“However… I can’t shake off the feeling that I have seen her somewhere before.”
As Kyle tilted his head, Patrick and Charles nodded in agreement.
Long blonde hair.
Chivalrous eyes.
And noble air.
“…D-don’t tell me.”
Could it be that she was—?!
