第７２５堀：夢の国へようこそ すべてを忘れて楽しもう ハハッ (Part2)
"Should Mikos go with you?"
"No, that's not it. Look, Prince Age is gone!?"
" " "Ah!?" " "
Hearing that, we finally understood.
I had a feeling something was off, but Prince Age, who was supposed to be with us, was nowhere to be seen.
This is bad! Did we leave him behind at the cake buffet!?
As we frantically tried to turn back, Yuki and the others stopped us.
"Hold on, hold on. Don't worry about Prince Age."
"Why not? We were eating together happily, it's terrible to leave him behind!"
Normally, we'd be cut off.
In Prince Age's case, it would be beheading.
No matter how you look at it, it's not good. It's a matter of life and death for me.
It seemed everyone agreed, nodding in unison.
Then, Yuki looked at us with a somewhat exasperated expression and spoke.
"...You didn't notice? He left his seat when you went to get the first cake."
" " "What!?" " "
"You were really engrossed in the cake buffet, weren't you..."
Ugh, another mistake in front of Yuki.
"Um, um, Teacher Yuki. Is Prince Age okay?"
"Y-yes. If he goes missing in Weed, Princess Carrie will be angry."
"R-right. We're also to blame for not noticing, but if something happens to Prince Age, you, Yuki, will also be questioned about Weed's management system."
Yes. As Mikos and the others said, it would be bad if something happened to Prince Age.
We need to make sure he's safe.
However, unlike us, who were panicking, Yuki and the others were calm.
Well, I don't think anything would happen in Weed, but...
After all, there was that incident with Lady Luna... right?
As I was thinking this, Yuki spoke, sounding somewhat bothered.
"There's no need to worry about that. Or rather, I wonder? Well, he should be eating with Princess Stasia at the cake buffet."
" " "With Princess Stasia!?" " "
We were shocked by the bombshell statement.
"W-wait a minute, is Princess Stasia Prince Age's older sister?"
"That's right."
"Um, Princess Stasia of the Findal Empire? Not Princess Stasia from another country?"
"Princess Stasia of the Findal Empire."
"But Princess Stasia was supposed to be busy with us in Baide..."
"She's here for an audience with Seraria."
"...Didn't they just have a fight recently, Prince Age and her?"
Eh, why would he do something that would cause such an explosion...
"She asked for my help in reconciling with them. The cake buffet became the stage for that. Kagura and the others just happened to be there, but honestly, you helped. Thank you."
"Yes. Thanks to you, Prince Age followed along smoothly."
"I apologize for using Kagura and the others as a pawn. However, I couldn't bear to leave those two as they were."
...I see.
I was just an afterthought.
Yuki didn't come to invite me, his objective was Prince Age...
I was inwardly shocked by this realization.
But it seemed everyone else didn't feel that way.
"I see. Then I'm relieved. Mikos, I hope the two of them can reconcile safely."
"Yes. I hope they can make up."
"Indeed. We got to enjoy the rumored cake buffet, so you, Yuki, don't have anything to thank us for. Rather, we should be thanking you. Right, Kagura?"
"Ah, yes. The cake was delicious, and I had fun because I was with Yuki."
That's right. I'm happy not just because I was with Yuki.
Thanks to Prince Age, I was able to be with him like this, so it's not a negative!
"Hey, Kagura. Aren't you ignoring Mikos and the others, and Ratz and the others?"
"Um, um, Senior Kagura, isn't that a bit rude...?"
"Haaah. I wonder why Kagura is so lost in her own little world. It's truly a mystery."
"I-I-I'm not saying anything rude. I said Yuki and the others!!"
This is bad, if Yuki and the others heard that, they'll be disappointed, I worried and turned to them...
"...There was a child in the church."
"A child? It's still early, right after lunch and classes have started? —Ah..."
"Could it be, that story?"
"Probably. Shall we go take a look?"
With serious expressions, they walked towards the church.
"Eh, w-wait! "
"Mikos, let's go too."
"Ah, seniors, y-you can't!?"
"I'll contact you. Solo, you follow."
We also headed towards the church with Yuki.
Haha (with a high-pitched voice)
Well, whatever you might be imagining, when I'm having fun, I tend to forget things and can't recall them.
I'll remember them later, though.
