Chapter 49
I could imagine what she was trying to imply.
A commoner just like Sashia. Sashia has a special position among the commoners, but as for other commoners its likely easy to imagine.
Nobles look down on commoners. That is generally acknowledged by many people and quite a few people even openly say so.
Even if I am not like that, I have the face of a villainess. So it seems I ended up giving off the wrong impression.
Even if my thoughts are actually different. Thus judgments based on appearance isnt really reliable.
Yes, and?
Huh?
Your a commoner, and?
What, that is
There is no problem so lets go, even seating in the dining hall is not infinite!
I didnt hear any objections so I lead the way to the dining hall.
But I heard Primera convincing the reluctant Erumeru behind though I pretended not to hear. If I interrupted poorly it will just become even more messy.
Unlike yesterday, there will be many people at the dining hall today.
Although even with all the people it still wont feel cramped because there is just too much space. The size was even more than half of the student body.
People like the prince or Student Council use salons where entrance is restricted, the upperclassmen know when it will become crowded so naturally they leave beforehand, so overall its a good setup.
There is even a menu list in the dining hall. But since the school is rich that is actually quite normalis what I would like to say.
Because apparently even if something isnt listed on the menu it doesnt mean it cant be ordered.
In the dining hall the menu isnt a Please order from this but rather a Please order from this if you cannot decide or please use it as a reference. So the dining hall also accept orders that are not in the menu.
It is truly ridiculous. Its actually quite absurd in many ways.
Because the high school division is also the same I experienced this system for five years already, but those from humble birthespecially special students like Keito are quite perplexed. Although whether Keito himself is actually perplexed is a different story.
And since I am from noble birth I am not unaccustomed to normal anymore. But lets choose from the menu.
Ah, over there
After instructing the waiter we just need to sit down and wait. I found a vacant table with appropriate number of seats.
There arent any number cards like in fast food stores, and showing an identification card instead of money seems to be the alternative.
Yes, I already knew but this is quite the amazing fantasyno, this world can only barely reproduce scientific innovations I believe? Even if it wasnt so the driving force in this world is magic.
Its good we were able to find seatsthere seems to be fewer people than I thought
Many people are using the dormitory messhall or going to Oztown so its likely due to that. So its likely it will get more crowded once classes fully start
I seeperhaps I should bring my own lunch or something
Because Primeras childhood friend was nearby, her tone was also more relaxed. Its a good trend, so I will refrain from pointing it out otherwise she might stop.
Just that Erumeru herself was silent and didnt speak at all. Perhaps she was nervous and found it difficult to leave, or maybe she had just given upprobably the latter.
She still seemed a bit dissatisfied and nervousbut it seems she was more nervous instead of dissatisfied.
I havent been a villainess all those years for nothing, I can easily detect a strained atmosphere.
Even though I am able to do it, Mariabell just charged ahead ignorantly so every day was a trial of endurance. Just remembering it sends shivers down my spine.
But thanks to her my perception skill has gone up. Though that doesnt make me happy.
However, I cannot just leave things as they are right now.
I want to befriend her if possible, to be honest I feel like I get along better with commoners rather than nobles. Keitos case is special but even if I remove him.
I think I will just eat somewhere else after all
Eh?
While I was thinking about how to start a conversation, Erumeru eyes flickered about as she suddenly spoke upshe started to say something again but then stopped midway.
Eru-chan, whats wrong?
Did you perhaps mean you wanted to eat elsewhere?
Her request wasnt heard after allbut it seemed like she gave up, perhaps my expression made her feel sick? If so, please forgive me as I wasnt thinking of anything weird or the likes.
Its not like thatjust the surrounding gazes
Eh, surrounding? So its not my expression?
I have no idea what she was talking about, but apparently Primera seems to have realized. She had an expression like she had eaten something bitter.
Primera also realized right?
It seems I wasnt mistaken about Primeras reaction, Erumeru then continued speaking.
No, but I dont understand whats going on at all? I cant be the only one not comprehending whats going on, right?
Mariabell-sama is the daughter of the duke and also found the dormant attributes of two people, besides that your also a fiancee candidate for the prince
Former
I am currently not, I will not concede on that part.
Among the nobles there are people within the top class famouswho dont like being around commoners
The walls between the commoners and nobles. I never thought of myself like that before, the people usually around me are also the type that typically dont worry about what others say.
Oresseine-san, Keito, Keitos father, and many other servants. The people around me are all commoners but since they dont mind those sort of things were all on good terms. Up until the end of the last round everything was just really horrible, being hated by everyone and even not having a motherI am really glad I worked hard.
However, I also understand that my surroundings are within the minority. In truth the nobles around me including my father in the past five rounds, and the capture targets were all indulged in themselves.
Thats why the prince ended up being moved by the heroine who struggled in such a harsh environment without hesitation.
Thus the lively heroine obtained a happy ending while the villainess came to an ill end, and ultimately the wall between social status also began to gradually improve.
Currently its before the original story, there is no heroine so ultimately I am desperately trying to break the flag.
So in other words, the status barriers have not yet been improved.
Thats why Erumeru is worried about my reputation falling by being with her. Though on the other hand.
I actually think shes really just worried about Primera. They are childhood friends and judging from Primeras reaction the two are very close.
She is likely worried about involving Primera since were together by attracting attention, perhaps she might even be thinking that I will become tired of Primera since she has a commoner childhood friend.
Which is of course untrue. Even though I appear composed right now, I am actually cursing from the very depths of my heart. Being a villainess is hard.
However, regardless of the reason and method, I think its a good thing to worry about your friends. As a person also with a childhood friend, I can sympathize with her.
But only that part alone.
Isnt Erumeru being excessively self-conscious?
