Ranri's Point of View
***Hello! It's me Ranri, the jolliest super pretty girl in Noir Manor! Of course, the prettiest one is Mirelle!
It's been two days since the incident happened (When Crescente was unconscious). Both Crescente and Danti started acting strangely but it did not affect their usual routines. They still keep doing fine but strangely their aura is in the worst state.
Danti kept glancing at Crescente whenever she was around him while Crescente kept sighing. I catched Danti following Crescente when she went for a walk a few times already. I also catched Crescente staring somewhere without saying a word.
When I tried talking to them, Danti brushed me off and kept telling me he's fine while Crescente said she's also fine.
'What's fine when you act like that?!'
I sighed and continued swinging the wooden sword I'm holding. This whole thing is frustrating. I should talk to them so that everything will be settled.
"What's up with you, Ran?"
-----> (O_O) - Ranri
"Oh my! Ikecin! Why are you suddenly–"
"Ha? I've been calling you but you kept swinging your sword. Are you deaf?" he rolled his eyes, he's mad again.
"Control that temper of yours, Ikecin. You won't get a girlfriend if you keep doing that." I said and laughed so hard that it made his face red.
'I should stop teasing him.'
"So why did you call me?" I asked while holding back my laughter.
"Hmmp! It's lunch time. Crescente called us to eat." he said and left me in the training grounds.
It's been a year since I came here and I never thought that I would meet great friends here. Indeed, kicking me out is a blessing in disguise. It is as if this manor was build to make us independent, well in reality, they just want us to cut off.
When I came here, Danti and Keon are the first ones to live here. They do not know how to cook or take care of themselves. They tried to welcome me and it was a disaster.
Danti and Keon tried to cook, but of course, they did not know how to cook..., everything was messed up. Since I'm a kind pretty girl, I ate what they cooked even though I thought I'll die that day.
The current Danti is really wary of Crescente, of course, a 15-year-old troublemaker suddenly came here. Everyone thought she's a spy that was sent by one of our families in disguise of probation. But everything was answered by an unknown lady.
'If she said, "It's the truth".., she's a trustworthy that was sent by me.'
A deal with an unknown woman. She said if she's wrong about Crescente she will take care of us personally but if she's right, that person will take care of us. I don't know what she will get with that deal but that's a little fishy. She never came back so I guess, that's just a silly bet.
"Ranri, is there a problem?" I looked around and saw Crescente walking towards me, "Let's eat." she said and laid her hands in front of me while I placed my hand and we walked towards the dining area holding hands.
'I wonder why..., but I feel at ease when I'm with Crescente.'
All of us ate quietly and Danti did not say anything about the food that Crescente cooked for us which was unusual. Whenever Crescente prepared food for us, Danti has a comment on it. It's just some bickering but still it makes the dining table lively.
*Tack*
*Clack*
'Only the cutleries are the ones who make noises...'
This awkwardness..., I CAN'T BEAR WITH IT ANYMORE!
-----> 。・°°・(>_<)・°°・。- Ranri
"How's everyone?" I asked and all of them looked at me with a question mark on their faces.
"What do you mean? We're living together." Danti immediately answered.
"Yeah! We're living together but I only see your faces on this very beautiful dining table!" I said and made a face. I heard Crescente chuckled and that made my day.
'Crescente is so cute!'
"That's true. How's everyone?" Crescente asked why I looked at her and she winked at me.
'She also felt the weird atmosphere.'
Because of that, everyone seems to relax. Keon answered that he's currently studying magic and Ikecin answered he's currently honing his swordsmanship. Danti answered that he's busy studying politics because of Crescente. Mirelle answered that she's learning basic magic and theories about peculiars.
"Well, I'm busy with my training..., and I am haunted by this awkwardness." I said with a serious face, "Mind to tell us, Crescente.., Danti.., What's up with you two?" I asked and the two of them grasped.
"What do you mean? We're fine. Hahaha!" Crescente answered and faked a laugh.
-----> ( ̄▽ ̄;) - Crescente
-----> (๑•ૅㅁ•๑) - Ranri
'I'm not stupid, Crescente.'
"No. I'm not." Danti answered and stopped eating, "Crescente, we need to talk." he said and walked out of the room.
"Ah. Eh.. Okay?" Crescente stood up to follow Danti who had already left the room.
"You messed up, Ran." Ikecin said, which is the reason why I glared at him.
"I know. So shut up and finish your food." I hissed and continued eating.
Deep thoughts suddenly filled my head.
I am curious. I have lots of questions.
I suddenly pushed myself together with the chair away from the table. I can't take it anymore! Curiosity's killing me!
"Where are you going, Ranri?" Mirelle asked that's why I smiled with my eyes widened.
"To kill my curiosity."
I ran towards the door and started looking for Crescente and Danti.
"Wait for us Ranri!" they shouted but I did not listen to them and kept looking for them.
After a few minutes, I finally saw them! They were in the main door!
"Crescente! Dan..ti?" I slowly spoke those names and my eyes widened when I saw who's with them.
'What are they doing here?'
"Lady Verdiente, we are here to check on the kids."
A familiar voice rang into my ears and my legs began trembling because of it.
"It's been a year, Anatalia."
