Chapter 193 – Isn’t It ‘Common Sense’ for Family Members to Come to an Invitational Event? (2)
“Ha ha… Ha… Damn Carnea.”
Isn’t this too wide?
I wiped the sweat from my forehead with my shirt.
No matter how far from end to end the academy was, it was only after running out of breath that I finally arrived near the main gate.
“…Wasn’t bullshit.”
As the students were talking about, a black carriage nearly twice as large as the other carriages was standing at the front gate.
I wondered if it belonged to another family, but the flag of Calliope fluttered nicely on the roof of the carriage.
Since neither my father nor my eldest brother went up to events such as invitations, it would be Garcia or Reika who was riding in the end.
‘No, probably both…’
A headache arose in the depths of my head.
I hate to admit it, but there was a good chance both of them came.
If only one of them said to come, the other side would desperately interfere.
Sighing, I squeezed through the onlookers and began examining the carriage.
‘I hope nothing happened…’
If he had arrived without incident, he could have forgiven him for secretly coming to Carnea without a letter.
Now I was desperate.
‘I can’t see any signs of an accident…Am I wrong?’
Fortunately, there appeared to be no signs of an accident on the wagon.
Still, as I was looking around the carriage to see if I had missed anything, a man with a stern voice interrupted me and said,
“Hey, can’t you see this flag? Who dares to rummage through Calliope’s carriage like that… Uh, uh? Young master? I’m sorry… I’m sorry. I guess I’m a little crazy. Please kindly forgive me…”
The coachman, who immediately yelled at me, checked my face and apologized by bowing as if his head was about to touch the ground.
I tapped him on the shoulder and asked.
“It’s okay. Wasn’t there an accident before that?”
“…Yes? I don’t quite understand what you mean by accident.”
“That’s why I asked if there were any accidents on the way.”
The coachman made a puzzled expression at the sudden question, but soon came to his senses and answered.
Haha, don’t worry. Nothing happened. And there’s no way that would be the case, but even if an accident happens, the wagon will be safe. As much as the price is high, it is inscribed with various protective magic.”
As for me, it was a question that I was asking because I was afraid that a carriage accident, which would be the starting point of the civil war, had occurred, but the coachman laughed as if he understood the question with a different intention.
“…I wouldn’t lie.”
Even though I asked with a little intimidation, the coachman nodded his head without hesitation.
“Nothing. How could I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, you can ask the escorts outside.”
After hearing the driver’s confirmation, I relaxed and let out a long sigh.
“…Ha, then I’m glad. I’m sorry for asking like an interrogation.”
“No. Doesn’t that mean the young master values his family? Haha. My daughter would have no wish if she treated me like this.”
“I’m sure you’ll cherish your daughter in your heart.”
“Heh heh, that would be nice. Oh, the entrance process is over, so I’ll be able to take you inside soon.”
Smart-
As I listened to the coachman’s silly voice, I heard a knock from inside the carriage.
“Oops, the madam is calling. Master, please wait a moment. I’ll be back.”
The coachman, who quickly jumped down, stood at the door and started talking about something.
“Yes, you should be able to get in soon. Yes? What about you? No, no. Yes. Okay. I will tell you right away.”
After the conversation, the coachman carefully stood in front of me and scratched the back of his head.
“I… Bocchan. The mistress wants you to come inside the carriage for a while…”

“Isn’t it really too much! After all, they didn’t come back until the end!”
“Bianca.”
Bianca kicked the bed in Lucia’s room, covered in a blanket.
“Okay! I was just guessing! If you’re in a good mood with that kid, you’ll definitely get in the way! But I thought it wouldn’t be today!”
“Bianca.”
“Why! It’s always just me!! Can’t I just play around a little too!!”
“Bianca!”
“You think it’s too much too?!”
Bianca does n’t even pretend to hear her name no matter how many times she calls it.
Eventually, Lucia, who had even heard her voice, shook her head while pressing the bridge of her nose.
“Bianca. I don’t understand why you come all the way to my room and tell me. You can just tell her friend her. Don’t you have any friends?”
“…Ugh…!”
Bianca put on a look that stabbed her in the face.
As Lucia said, Bianca had no friends at all.
In contrast to Vivian, who was an outcast, Bianca was the kind of person who thought she was an outcast to everyone else.
“…Huh…Who, who, who is that?! I have friends too!!”
“Okay? Then, just name three of her friends.”
“…Well…That’s why…There’s Lilith, there’s Vivian…Well…You’re also…A friend…? Could it be something similar?”
Embarrassed as she spoke, Bianca’s face flushed and her voice her sank.
Lucia shook her head in amazement.
“It’s me and Lilith after conceding 100 times. Even so, are you including her sister and her friends… ? It’s a really shallow human relationship, as much as the heart.”
“Damn! I’m dying to tell you!! You have to suffer the same way tomorrow so that you won’t be able to say that!!”
At Bianca’s words her, Lucia snorted and laughed.
“Huh, if the owner is away during the date, there must be a reason. Or do you think he ran away because he was not having fun?”
“Who… Who said that! Ugh!!! Done! I won’t talk to you from now on!!”
“That is a very grateful word. I would appreciate it even more if you didn’t walk from now on. I’m very busy planning a date with the owner tomorrow.”
As if that was the end of the conversation, the moment Lucia picked up her pen again and tried to write in her notebook her.
“Lucia-sama!!!”
“…I… I… No! I didn’t call!”
“I know. Bianca. Who said what?”
“It’s…It’s a big deal. Miss Lucia!!”
It was Marjan who shouted.
Marjan seemed to have jumped in uncharacteristically, and she was breathing heavily.
“Big…Big…Ha…Big deal…”
“Marjan, calm down and talk. What’s the big deal?”
“Haa…Yes…Huh…Ca…A carriage has arrived from Calliope!!”
At Marja’s words, Lucia narrowed her eyes and clicked her tongue.
It was obvious without saying who was in the carriage.
“…Tsk, it seems that Garcia and Reika were in a hurry too. Come to me like this.”
“What! Eugene says her mother and sister are here? Uh… What to do? I’m not ready to meet you yet…”
“There is no need to prepare.”
Bianca, frowning at Lucia’s words her, crossed her arms and fired at her.
“Ha, what do you mean you don’t have to worry? So I hope you are born into a good family!”
“No, I’m not talking about that, I mean, no matter what we do, they won’t acknowledge us, so there’s no need to waste time.”
“What? If Urella’s next family head does n’t work, then who will be her?”
Despite always grumbling and fighting, Bianca recognized Lucia’s abilities as her.
If it was Lucia, she would welcome Eugene with her arms crossed in Calliope, either way, whether she brought Eugene, who was coming to her wedding her, as her son-in-law her.
“No one will. Her jealousy will turn your eyes, but it is impossible to make a rational decision.”
“Jealousy…?”
Lucia’s answer made Bianca look incomprehensible.
“Yes, I am jealous. Actually, it’s nothing special. Even Bianca, wouldn’t she be jealous if I married the master?”
Bianca, who briefly recalled such a future, poured her lips and said.
“… I will.”
“It’s just like that.”
“But it’s family over there. Why are you jealous of your family?”
“…If it’s a normal family.”
Lucia gave a fishy smile and Bianca tilted her head.
“If it’s not an ordinary family, what is it? Are you saying that you’re not my real mother? That’s nothing special…”
Having said that, a thought flashed through Bianca’s head.
“Hey, can’t it… Isn’t it?”
“…I do not know.”
“Tell me no! Even if that bastard had no chastity, he would n’t have laid a hand on her family her!”
“… That… Is that so? Even the family members reach out for ‘forbidden love’… I knew it, but Eugene’s charms are endless.”
Marjan shuddered at the words of her forbidden love her, but no one could afford to give her her gaze her.
“I’m not crazy!! Hey, I knew that relationships with women were promiscuous, but how could you mess with your family..!”
“There is a reason for that. You know, but don’t go and brag about it.”
“Don’t talk!! Ah! Whatever it is! This is not too much!”
As Bianca ran amok, Lucia asked with a serious face.
“So what? Can Bianca give up on her master her? Follow your heart. No matter what my master does, I will never give up.”
Lucia’s calm words brought Vivian back to her senses a little, and she spoke in a calmer tone.
“…I can’t either. I still need an explanation.”
Bianca was also surprised, but it did not change her mind about Eugene.
“You know that. The important thing now is to get the owners back to those two female cats.”
“… Do I have to go that far? I won’t go back after the super purification is over anyway. Just wait a few days…”
“I’m not going to stick around during the invitation period. …I don’t want the final intermission to be interrupted.”
Having said that, Lucia closed and opened her eyes for a moment before declaring.
“Then let’s make sure we show who has the upper hand as a woman first.”
