GUILTY!!
“Oh dear, I took much longer than I was supposed to! I’m sure everyone else has already met up…!”
Lefiya jogged through the streets after questioning the Amazons. The whole familia was out in full force searching for clues about Knossos, and as it was already noon, it was time to gather and discuss what they’d learned. While Lefiya was on her way to the rendezvous point, however, a curious sight made her screech to a halt.
“Hm?!”
She spotted, from behind, a white-haired man walking alongside a blond-haired girl.
It’s that human! And he’s with Aiz again! Doesn’t he know to stick to his own familia?!
Completely forgetting her mission, she cried out, “Hey!” and ran over to the couple.
“Wah! M-Ms. Lefiya?”
“I can’t believe you! Haven’t you learned your lesson? What are you doing out here, cavorting around with…Aiz? Huh?”
When she turned, Lefiya realized the blond-haired woman with Bell was not Aiz at all—it was a renart girl she’d never seen before. She was wearing some kind of maid outfit that had eluded Lefiya at a distance, and the two of them were carrying bags as though they’d just been shopping together.
“‘Aiz’?” repeated Bell. “No, no, this is someone who recently joined our familia!”
“P-pleased to meet you,” said the renart girl, meekly bowing her head.
Lefiya went bright red, as she realized the only reason she had intervened was because her mind had seen white hair and blond hair and automatically put two and two together.
Ohh, what a gaffe! But how was I supposed to know? From behind, she looks exactly…the…same…?
Lefiya’s internal monologue slowed to a crawl, for when she looked up at the renart girl, she noticed something. The girl was incredibly pretty. Not as pretty as Aiz, of course—or rather, she was pretty in different ways, and it didn’t make sense to compare—but in any case, Lefiya found herself dumbstruck by the girl’s beauty.
Her golden hair reminded her of Aiz’s, and her features were no less fair. For Bell to be seen with such a girl…wasn’t that effectively a form of adultery?
A few moments later, Lefiya’s emotions boiled over and she exploded.
“H-h-h-h-how can you betray Aiz like this, you cheat?!”
“‘Ch-cheat’? B-but I’m not even going out with Aiz!”
“Of course you aren’t! But that doesn’t mean you can leave her in the dirt and go strutting around town with someone else!!”
“What do you meeean?!”
“B-Bell’s m-m-mistress? Ohh…”
As an elf and a human began arguing in the street, one renart girl fainted, much to the confusion of passersby.
