The demon, Malrog the Envious, had created fabricated memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Kaya couldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re lying right….? Aren’t you just making everything up out of shame?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued to be in denial, but when she saw how serious I was, she began to break out into a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Predictably, she was left with a deep sense of skepticism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir Isaac’s words… They were all fake…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t even do anything wrong, but I still felt kinda guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was I supposed to know the memories would be altered this way…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the record, I asked Kaya to pretend she didn’t know me during the party to reduce as many variables as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to ❰Magic Knight of Märchen❱, all the heroines monopolized the interest of men. Among them, there were plenty of cliched bastards who would make unwanted advances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more unexpected variables I could avoid, the better. I had to fully focus on defeating Marlog and that of itself was already full of uncertainties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, I didn’t tell Kaya anything…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I do have some regrets. Maybe I should’ve at least told her about the demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all in the past so I couldn’t do anything anyway but…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re actually sorry, you should reenact it in reality for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya spoke with a pouty face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how sorry I was, I honestly didn’t want to say any of the embarrassing things I presumably said in her memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Well, I didn’t expect you to do it anyway. But it’s okay. I’m satisfied just by being in this heart-pounding situation with you, Sir Isaac.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to go out now. I need to talk to Lu-”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just a little more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya gently grasped the wall next to my head as if telling me not to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since our bodies were already in close contact, goosebumps appeared on my body as all the soft parts of Kaya rubbed against me. I pressed my body against the wall as much as I possibly could, trying to avoid contact at all costs…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya stuck her face towards me, seemingly ignoring my dilemma. Darkness. The faint moonlight dimmed her face. As expected, there was a sly smile that shadowed her entire expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s stay like this for a little longer, Sir Isaac.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Kaya Astrea]Psychology:[Excited to be so close to you]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t like I hated it either. Moreover, after our cute Kaya took on her dark personality, she was getting used to these expressions and gestures of affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll be honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I can’t refuse one of my favorite characters…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m about to lose my mind because of how cute she is…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click—.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the sound of heels echoed as someone stepped up the stairs. Anyone could guess that it was the sound of Luce’s footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as planned, I managed to solve the misunderstanding with Kaya. Now, all I needed to do was pacify Luce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click—, Clack—.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of footsteps drew closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pushed Kaya’s arms out of the way of my exit. She resisted, but when I exerted more force and stared at her sternly, she blushed and eventually gave in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After escaping from such a cramped space, I stood on the stairs and looked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the bottom, a girl with rose-gold hair saw me and stopped climbing the stairs as she shimmered in the moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obviously, Luce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isaac…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Luce Eltania]Psychology:[Happy to see you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luce’s expression brightened for a moment, but then she took a quiet breath to calm her emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s behind you, isn’t she?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could even answer, Kaya popped out next to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luce frowned for a moment, but eventually cleared her throat and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry I did something bad to her. However… I didn’t have a choice. To be honest, she was out of line.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder who did something that Sir Isaac wouldn’t like though? I’m the one who helped Sir Isaac instead. Luce Eltania, don’t you think you’re being too selfish and overbearing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isaac. You were surprised when she tried to kiss you out of nowhere right? She even dragged you somewhere without consent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a mess… They’re both saying whatever they want without listening to the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it was a little different. Luce only looked and talked to me. She didn’t even give Kaya a single glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a natural response since Luce never opened up her heart to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya frowned. She seemed to be displeased at Luce’s dismissive attitude towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should look at me when you talk. Are you ignoring me right now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she couldn’t hear anything, Luce continued to ignore Kaya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt like I was going to get squashed between the auras of the two women. I had to step up and stop their argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Kaya tried to get another word in, I slipped my arm out in front of her and stopped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir Isaac?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luce, Kaya. Thank you for cherishing me, but I have a partn-Ahhhk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chalala—.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colorful starlight mana swirled around me. I was dragged straight to the top of the clock tower without being able to finish my statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hweeeeeee——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like a new law of physics were established exclusively for me, as if gravity was operating according to someone’s will. I was not able to regain control until I reached the end of the spiral staircase, the last floor with a large clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to be surprised. It wasn’t hard to figure out who dragged me up here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luce and Kaya’s eyes widened in surprise. They leaned their heads out of the railing to look up at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far more mana than anyone else in this room stroked my skin like the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What appeared was a resplendent being surrounded by a cluster of brilliant stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lavender hair fluttered as she appeared in front of everyone’s sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was thinking it was taking too long for you to do your business. Why were you getting yourself kidnapped while big sis wasn’t looking, President~?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy Heartnova asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luce summoned Galia, I already expected Dorothy to follow us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually experiencing it, however, made it feel like it was Deus Ex Machina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know right…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a bitter laugh. I didn’t understand how things got to this point either…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, Luce’s eyes were frightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how friendly Dorothy was to others, she wasn’t exempt from Luce’s anti-social disorder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Dorothy Heartnova…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya, who was standing next to me, seemed to have figured out who the woman with the lavender hair standing next to me was. As long as you were a student at Märchen Academy, it would be harder to not recognize Dorothy after seeing starlight magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s stop the silly pranks, girls. It’s quite rude to snatch someone else’s partner, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya and Luce started to frown. The fact that I had a partner, and that partner was Dorothy, seemed to have pissed them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya and Luce were precious to me too. They were certainly people I wanted to be with. However, Dorothy was my partner for today and I had promised to hang out with her alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was common decency to never go back on any promises you’ve made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘…What’s with this atmosphere?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air turned heavy. No one seemed to be willing to let me go without a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure was sending shivers down my spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell should I do about this situation…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, the fact that I am the center of this war of nerves made it incredibly burdensome. Nevertheless, it was impossible for me to run away from these three women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What do I do?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seriously, what am I supposed to do…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right when I was racking my brain for a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another strong type of mana washed over my body. Due to of powerful mana emanating from Dorothy, my perception was delayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy and I quickly turned around to see who it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why don’t you stop now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A graceful woman stood with her back against the moonlit clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beautiful gold dress draped over her, matching exceptionally well with her eloquently tied pale gold hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All her accessories were black and white, providing a stark contrast to the gold of her dress. A flower hairpin with black and white checkers, black and white earrings, and a black and white choker adorned her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to her, a fat purple cat with a small fedora tilted its head to look at us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number one person I didn’t want to encounter…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow of ❰Magic Knight of Märchen❱.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a distinct seductive voice. Even in the moonlit night, her eyes glowed a mesmerizing pale pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, we’ll have to work overtime if you continue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, students riding various familiars entered near the clock as they stood behind the woman with pale gold hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outfits suited for a formal event adorned all of them. However, the silver brooch in the shape of a sword and grimoire differentiated them from others. It was painfully obvious which organization they belonged to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The organization wielding the greatest administrative power in Märchen Academy: The Student Council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the woman with pale gold hair was the one who had the greatest authority among all of them.
