Epilogue: A Pro!

A Pro. A pro should always be calm. A pro should always assess everything with an analytical perspective. A pro should always attain what his objective is. Yes, a pro should always succeed.

This happened back when Benjirou saved Chika from the Students Councils' member's assault. Few days have past since then.

*DINGDONG-DINGDING!

"Where are you going in such a hurry, Chika? This past couple of days, you seemed out of it. Don't be a bother to the young lady, you hear?"

Mai said to the restless Chika who was attending the same class as an escort of Ellisbeth that time. It was just the first sound of the bell, but she seemed to be in a hurry. In her bag, two sets of lunch boxes can be seen, and one of them is carefully sealed in a very well-dressed cover.

"I am just going to the library! I won't cause any trouble! I promise!"

"Hmm? That's good and all, but what about those two sets of lunch? If you don't control your diet you'll become a fat water flea or maybe a cow, you know?!"

"I,I, I know! I can handle this much!"

"Really? Is that not something shady, Chika? Hmm?"

Mai gave a look of suspicion while drilling a question on Chika. Chika was indeed acting suspicious, and she's even making a gesture that no one could understand. Mai stared at her blankly, then after a short while, she grinned. Mai is enjoying this and her usual cool expression has left at the moment.

"Shad-no! I am not doing anything like that!

Saying this, Chika was already showing a sign of blush on her white face. And then...

"A boy, perhaps?"

"Yo,yo,yo,yo,you're wrong!!!"

...a direct question that made Chika sound like a broken recorder was thrown!

She dashed, burning red, as if flying outside the classroom. This took the attention of the ones who are still in the classroom. That move even woke Guren from his nap.

"Fufu. Suspicious..."

Mai said to herself when suddenly...

"Suspicious? What is?"

a voice sounded from behind her accompanied by a tap on her shoulder.

"Hyaa?! M-my lady, please refrain from doing that. Are you planning on giving me a heart attack?!"

"Ehehe. I apologize. It seems that you are having fun so I just..."

It was Ellisbeth, carrying a paper bag full of bread and juice. And while Mai was having fun, she let her guard down. "I have witnessed something nice" Guren thought as he saw this.

"Please... don't do that again. And moreover, why did you buy me food again? I am your maid, just for you to be reminded if you have already forgotten!"

"Ehehe. Sorry, sorry! But more importantly, Mai, what are you talking about earlier?"

Mai shakes her head as Ellisbeth asks. Then as a response, she said with a light smile,

"It's nothing much, young lady."

"Hm. Is that so?"

Tilted her head. She made an expression that has a mixture of confusion and wonder.

"By the way, where is Chika?"

"She's headed to the library, my lady. It seemed like she found something very interesting in there."

"Library, huh? That's good, I guess?..."

—The next day...

*DINGDONG-DINGDING!

"Where is Chika?"

"Ah, She's already there..."

"Library? Okay."

—And the next day...

"Chika"

"Ah, she's..."

"Library again? Hey, that's suspicious!"

She exclaimed while making a serious face. While Mai only looked at her with dead eyes with a thought in mind, "did she seriously just notice it now from all this time? Chika is almost living in the library you know?!"

"Sigh. What am I ever gonna do with you two?"

She sighed. The maid , Mai, has it rough.

I, Yuiga Guren, am a pro. But now I am starting to doubt that. The silence that I was hoping for... the low-key way of living while doing an investigation as of a detective is a life I have decided while living on this continent. But now, not only have I attracted the eyes of the student council, I now have the eyes of the whole Wisteria kingdom as an addition to that. That was the result of that duel.

Yes, great! I'm becoming really popular—but that is not what I am hoping for!

I, Yuiga Guren, was lying on my bed holding a letter in my right hand. A letter that had the golden border and a seal under a certain name. Yes. A letter that is from the royal palace. A letter that requests my appearance with the royal family.

"A pro..."

I said in a voice that is very exhausted.

I was saying that while remembering how great I was at playing VLF. I am not bragging. But look at me now. Everything I planned as the initial step for our plan... It went out like smoke.

As I made a sigh... The letter that smells a sweet scent of a perfume fell over my face. 

What a nice smell. Sweet and it has an adult charm in it…

Above the seal, a name was imprinted
