When I arrived at the academy and Charlotte-san and I entered the academy’s lecture hall together, Grendel-san spoke to me in a very high tension as usual.
“Feal! I’m so glad you came!”
…… correction, for some reason he was more excited than usual.
But I returned it calmly as usual.
“Yes, I’m here,……, so what happened to you today?”
“Fufu, I can’t say that something happened……., but more than that, you haven’t forgotten about the matter, have you?”
“What ……?”
I don’t know …… I couldn’t remember, so I asked back, and Grendel san loudly uttered the answer.
“You’re staying at my place! You have not yet fulfilled your promise to stay at my house!”
“Ah ……”
I think I told him something like that when I temporarily ran away from the Anastasia family’s mansion.
“And today is the best day to have a sleepover because of the fresh ingredients we have available, so to speak—”
“…… today?”
The one who interrupted Grendel san’s words was not me, who was invited to stay the night, but Charlotte san.
Charlotte’s response to Grendel san’s words put him in an even better mood and he said
“Today! What is it? Charlotte Anastasia, perhaps you want to stay at my place too? I didn’t have any food for Charlotte Anastasia because I initially thought it was just Feal,────,Yes, but I predicted that Charlotte Anastasia would probably reveal her true feelings and want to spend time with me under the same roof, so I made sure to prepare Charlotte Anastasia’s share of fresh ingredients. I was procuring it! Have you fallen in love again? Yeah, yeah, that’s fine. In that case, tonight..”
“I don’t know what you were saying earlier, but I’m definitely not giving you Al this evening, okay?”
Grendel san was talking in a very good mood, and Charlotte-san just told him so in one word and in a very ruthless manner.
Grendel san looked surprised for a moment, but then continued.
“I see…. it looks like you mean it.”
…Grendel-san didn’t know anything about me and Charlotte-san’s situation, but he said that as if he understood something.
Grendel san looks like this, but he can be sharp sometimes, so maybe this time too, she’s trying to figure out how serious Charlotte san is ────
“So, Charlotte Anastasia, …… you’re coming to stay at my house alone, is that it?”
I take back what I said before, after all, Grendel-san is Grendel-san.
Charlotte san sighed in disgust and replied to Grendel san.
“No, why should I go stay at Grendel’s house,…… anyway, give up on Al.”
“…… then it can’t be helped, I’ll give up this evening──── but!”
Grendel san shook me by the shoulders and said.
“Feal! Why don’t you come over to my place for a few hours before nightfall, even if you don’t have to stay the night!”
“Eh ……? I don’t have to stay the night. ……?”
“Yeah! Let’s have dinner and a bath together!”
“W-Wait a minute, Charlotte san did say this evening, but she didn’t mean hours or anything like that, she just meant after the institute’s lectures are over. ────”
“I’ve never invited friends to my house because I have this kind of personality,……, so I’m just trying to invite my friend Feal to my house! So why do you refuse so much? Do you hate me that much?!”
I never thought that the day would come when that Grendel san would call me his friend,…….
Still, it’s time to prioritize things with Charlotte-san…but…
“Feal! Come to my house! Please!!”
……When you look at me with those round puppy dog eyes, I feel a little pity for you.
I turn my gaze away from Charlotte-san a little and ask Charlotte-san.
“Umm….. Charlotte san, until it’s time to call it a night ────.”
“….. Haa, okay, I’ll take the opportunity to follow Al and just eat some food.”
“…… is that okay?”
I was a little surprised because I thought Charlotte-san would flatly refuse, but she said with a somewhat nostalgic look on her face.
“Al, who interacts with strange people…I was saved by Al—Aruto-kun…this time is special.”
“Thank you,…….”
After Charlotte-san and I exchanged things like that in low voices, I replied to Grendel-san again.
“Okay, if just to eat and take a bath, I’ll go after the academy.”
“R-really?! Since you accepted my invitation, I won’t let you regret it!! I’ll make sure you have the best time!!”
Grendel san was jumping up and down, looking happier than ever.
And when all the lectures at the institute were over, the time was called evening, and Charlotte san and I went with Grendel san to his house in a carriage.
The most intense night I have ever had in both my previous and present lives combined will be coming in a few more hours────.
