First Of All, Lets Hide My Younger Brother

Chapter 51

"Kayla, can you talk to me for a minute?"

Marianne caught me on my way back to the dorm after a class at the gym. The girl's normally stern expression seemed angry today. No, it's an evil face.

"Is there no one in the garden?"

Marianne nodded calmly at my words.

"I made some inquiries about the Oculus boarding school."

A soft voice came from Marianne's mouth. It was a cold voice, full of anger.

"... it was a girls ' school."

Finally, what I had been dreading had happened.

"It used to be a girls ' school. Now it's a coeducational school."

"Yes, on paper."

Marianne pulled a large stack of papers out of her hands. I can't believe it was all in those little hands.

"On paper, it's coeducational, but they haven't had a single male student since Franz went to study there."

As expected, Marianne had hit the nail on the head.

"Well, I'm not sure why. Did they fail the translation test?'

I tried to ignore Marianne's angry eyes.

"First of all, the Oculus boarding School isn't that high."

Hell, that was easy to figure out, but I didn't have anything to say about it.

"The headmaster said they're not taking any students yet. They want to raise the level of the school and its prestige…"

Angry Marianne is really scary. This time, she didn't speak in a calm, measured voice…

"Please look me in the eye and talk to me."

I had to meet Marianne's sharp gaze, which seemed to pierce right through me.

"Franz was interested in the Oculus area. That's why I found this school."

I decided to continue pretending that I didn't know anything. Should I tell you what the original development was? But even if I'm honest with you, you won't believe me.

'There's already a boarding school for aristocrats there. The teachers were better than in Oculus, and above all, it was a school for boys. The school wasn't that far away."

It's a girls ' school that I purposely found in a remote corner. But I couldn't tell her the truth.

"Great, Marian! You found a place I couldn't find right away!"

I thought I was really shameless, pretending I didn't know anything. But it didn't seem to work.

"I asked Lord Troizen for a letter of recommendation, and the first school he suggested in the letter was this one. Of course, it wasn't an Oculus!"

"Oh, I didn't know there was such a way."

I avoided Marianne's eyes again. My mouth felt dry. I know. I'm talking nonsense right now.

"That's not like Kayla, who always does the sensible thing." If it was the Kayla Vesta I know, the first thing she would do is ask Lord Trausen for help.

Yes, I would use this method in normal life. But I deliberately sent the letter to the Oculus Boarding School, which is located in a remote area. I was only looking for girls ' schools...

"There are a lot of strange things about the investigation. What if the donation was sent on behalf of Vesta…"

Marianne grabbed my shoulder, and I desperately avoided looking her in the eye.
