After the sleepover, Clara and Asmodeus woke up early to go back to their homes and prepare for school, as it is a hassle to bring unnecessary or additional stuff to school.

As for Y/N, she is eating her breakfast with a slight smile. This is the first time she smiled not as of obligation or reaction but as a genuine smile that came from her gratitude to others and new perspective in life. With that, the manor is currently lightened with her smile. The workers, especially Sullivan and Opera, feel happy at how far Y/N went in terms of progress. She started her life with a blank and tired stare and now lives her new life with a bright expression. Of course, this is all because of the people surrounding her—especially her friends, much to Sullivan's and Opera's dismay.

"Ah, Y/N-chan. There's something I want to give to you, but I'll be getting it later—probably by the time the exams are over. Will it be okay for you to wait for a bit?"

"Of course, Gramps. Why would it not be okay? If anything, I am really grateful for everything you have given me—even the act itself is still foreign to me. Me receiving rather than the other way around? Even now, that sounds ridiculous and foreign."

"... I wish you would let me spoil you, Y/N-chan."

"Really, I am grateful for everything. Letting me live, eat, wear good quality clothes, and let me go to a school which helped me find and meet friends? You're already spoiling me too much, Gramps."

"Still, that is not enough, Y/N-chan~ At least, try to act childish for once for your Gramps, would ya?"

Though Sullivan remarked with a teasing tone, it did not cover his sadness about how his grandniece lived most of her life. Giving a necessity, which is deserved and is a right to receive, is 'foreign'? She, who does not have a lot, kept giving anything she could hold or grasp?

"...It seems that what I did to them is not enough."

"Yes, you are right, Opera-san. I'm sure that G/N would have also wanted this to happen."

"Pardon?"

"Ah, it's nothing for you to be concerned about~ Anyway, I'll be giving my gift later on, so please wait for a while, Y/N-chan."

Y/N felt a murderous aura both to Sullivan and Opera. But as her Gramps said that it is not her concern or anything, she let them do their things. After breakfast, she did her other routine before going to her school. By the time Y/N was near the school entrance, she had met her two best friends there. Once they reached the gates, she saw Ameri, to which she waved and received a blushing face.

"Good morning, Ameri-san."

"Good-good morning, Y/N!"

All student council members who were there to check the students looked at their president with widened eyes. The student president, known for her coldness and strictness, suddenly acted the opposite because of a girl. They never even noticed or knew how she and the student knew each other.

The blushing Ameri turned to her council members, only to see them staring at her with suspicion and curiosity about who made her act that way. She glared at them as a warning to go back on doing whatever they were doing.

She was a bit sad as that was the only exchange of words between them ever since they became friends. She was happy that she now understood the whole context or the story itself rather than figuring out what was happening based on the characters' expressions and actions.

To think that she met one of the people involved in creating the manga—the term she learned from Y/N. She smiled at the mere thought of that, and the smile was immediately wiped off her face to prevent students, especially her council members, from being suspicious of what was happening between them.
