Invitation

'What is it this time?' Vale frowned as he felt the young man's gaze on him.

He was sure that he had never spoken with this guy so Vale was curious why he was staring at him like this. 

However, with his cautious personality, decided not to confront the guy. He doesn't know what was going on so it's better to keep his silence for now and observe the situation.

After taking his tray and sitting beside Leonore, Vale finally had the chance to ask his classmates.

"Leonore, do you know why they're looking at us?"

"Cough… Cough… Don't include us. It's only you." Carmen said before Leonore could reply.

Vale was dumbfounded as he was sure that he didn't offend anyone. He looked at the others on the seat and they nodded at him showing how they agree with Carmen's statement. 

At the table, there were a total of five people.
