(Serge's Point of View.)

I never thought I'd have my head stroked.

Just remembering that moment brings a smile to my face.

The hand stroking back and forth was delicate but his hand's movement felt so ticklishly gentle that it gives me a sense of nostalgia.

However, even that unconscious smile completely changed with the appearance of my childhood friend

who's having a steep face.

[Serge, I have something I'd like to ask.]

[You sure heard it fast.]

I will put a bet that it's about Sheryl.

It shouldn't have been that long since Sensei went to the staff room to report,though.

[It's because I've been helping out with the Student Council in the staff room until just now.]

[Aah, I see.]

While I was surprised, I understand how he got hold of the news so quickly.

Despite his retirement, a bitter smile leaked out from Camille, who still helped the student council.

His good nature does not allow him to refuse when asked for help.

To Camille who looks at everyone equally regarding of their status, his successors have repeatedly relied on him many times even now.

That Camille has, for some reason, knitted his brows.

[You were at the scene, right?]

[That's right. The one who brought Sheryl to the infirmary was also me.]

When I re-imagined what happened back at the toilet, I reflexively bit the back of my teeth, making a grinding sound.

Fortunately, all he managed to give Sheryl was a bruise, but if I didn't make it in time, he couldn't done worse.

[Haah... Not only Jule-sempai but even with His Highness' power, this happens.]

[He must have been greatly upset. Probably lost his ability to think rationally.]

So there wasn't only one lightning that fell in the salon.

Although it wasn't spoken directly, but Rafael's message should've been understood if it's the nobles.

Nobody probably guessed that there will be another one trying to harm Sheryl.

[We should've been more vigilant, huh.]

[This will become a problem of location, then.]

Moreover, the students in question were considered dangerous, and though they would not be dropped out, they had been sentenced to home punishment. Of course, the responsibility to supervise them falls to the parents.

It's undeniably clear that not only the students who caused troubles would be punished, but also their house.

[Just thinking that I have to report this to Rafael-sama, my stomach hurts....]

[Let's go together.]

[Please....]

Although it's not our fault, just imagining that beautiful face filled with fury, my legs still shake no matter how many times I've seen it.

Even though Rafael cares so much about Sheryl.

Was the start when he saw him first in the classroom?
