Who Said This Was an Otome Game!

Chapter 16.1

I originally wanted to wait until the time for my rehabilitation is almost over, but Nicole will get futily worried.

If I think about it properly, it's not like we made a promise, and he must have his circumstances.

I'm so embarrassed by my fruitless efforts just to wholeheartedly convey my feelings to him.

This time, I'm going to make an appointment with him and confess.

So I decided but when I entered the classroom, the atmosphere inside is weird.

Rafael and the others are gathered around Lydi's seat.

[I wonder what's going on....]

As Welmina spoke in an uneasy voice, Rafael and co. noticed our presence and looked our way. I unconsciously grabbed the armrest of my wheelchair upon seeing the way the looked at me.

[Sheryl, can I have a moment?]

Rafael's tone was close to a summon rather than a question.

He's making a difficult face but doesn't seem angry.

Serge and Camille are also looking at me as if perplexed.

Only Lydi's head is hanging down so her expression can't be seen.

[What's wrong?]

I wonder if the cause of the classroom's atmosphere is me.

I'm aware that Lydi is avoiding me. Before looking for the reason, I wonder if Lydi has told her problems with me to Rafael?

wonder what made her cornered this far because of me?

[I heard from Lydi that you were mean towards her. That you said you don't acknowledge the Boirmortie Family. Is that true?]

「............」

I was so surprised by Rafael's unexpected words that I grew speechless.

Mean? I don't acknowledge the Boirmortie Family?

Rather than the confused me, it was Welmina's voice that was heard.

[There's no way that's true. Lydi, aren't you misunderstanding something?]

[I'm sorry, I should have consulted with Will first.... I had the chance to Sheryl with just the two of us, you see....]

I wonder what Lydi is talking about?

I have never talked with her alone. To begin with, the only time I get to be alone is when I go to the washroom.

Welmina's always with me in school, and other than that, Nicole is with me the whole time.

[Sheryl-kun is scary....]

Lydi said as she shakingly grabbed the sleeve of Rafael's uniform.

[Oioi, Sheryl, the pretty girl is scared of being glared so don't look at her like that.]

[I'm not glaring...]

[You are glaring at Lydi, there's a wrinkle in your eyebrows.]

After being warned by Serge, I noticed that my face has stiffened.

When I stroked my eyebrows with my fingertip, it's true that there were wrinkles between them.

[Sorry, I just wasn't able to comprehend what's going on.... Rafael, do you believe Lydi's words?]

I didn't have the leisure to use honorifics to him.

My head is ringing.

Such story, he should be able to tell that it's a lie without even thinking about it.
