nIn the game, the scripted event that happened out of order in this world didn't actually end with Surou escorting the heroine back to her room - but with the blue-haired second prince helping her clean up with her with a few small useful spells and taking her to the back of the academy to showing her the beautiful spot by the pond to cheer her up...!

nThe same exact beautiful spot under the old tree by the pond that Zoemi made the first prince and the villainess have a picnic at...!

n|Damn it! Events where the heroine and the villainess are in together always put the villainess in a bad light! I can't let this happen!|

nThe black-haired attendant knew, of course, that he might have been wrong.

nEven if a single event happened too soon it wasn't certain that it will play out exactly as it did in the game - but something in Zoemi's guts was telling him that the worst-case scenario will play out.

nThe event he set up for his master's benefit will cause the opposite effect!

n

"Hey! What do you... HIII!

"

n

"Wha-AAH...!

"

n

"Ugh! Hey...!? I'M SORRY!

"

nThe first reaction of the students who got bumped into was anger, but as soon as they caught a glimpse of the terrifying face of the black-haired youth, they would start to panic and run away in fear.

n

"

"Sir Zoemi!

"

"

n

"!!!!

"

nWhen he was already outside he saw worried Teo and Veo running in his direction with flushed faces, he felt that his heart has sunk...

n

"That commoner girl and the prince Surou showed up suddenly...!

"

n

"And the prince Suoru got angry that the master and the mistress took his spot and...!

"

nThe girls called out one after the other, finishing each other sentences as if they were one person split in half – but that wasn't the point that stood out the most for the scarred attendant...

n|HIS spot?! Damn it! In the game, Surou told the heroine that he stumbled upon it after the magic evaluation exam in a month...! How come he knows about it already – unless...!|

nZoemi clenched his fists so hard that his shoulders trembled – but the twin attendants were not finished with reporting the situation to him.

n

"The commoner girl wanted to calm him down but she tripped...

"

n

"She fell on the picnic basket...!

"

n

"And the mistress is...!

"

n|She fell...?! Damn it! That clumsy girl is EXACTLY as she was in the game!|

nZoemi didn't have to wait for the rest of the explanation given by both of the twins, it was clear what has happened after the heroine's fall...

nMiriette had quite the wild character, she was the epitome of wind - sometimes gentle and refreshing but when she got angry it was with the power of a destructive hurricane!

n|Her date with the prince got interrupted and their food was wasted, she must be overwhelmingly furious! Damn it!|

n

"I understand! I'm going to them right away!

"

nZoemi didn't wait for the twins to catch a breath and dashed at his top speed to the place where his master was becoming the victim of the event.

nTeo and Veo could use the earth enchant so it wasn't hard for them to catch up with Zoemi - although quick for the magicless people standards, the black-haired boy was a darkness magician and couldn't use any enchants augmenting the speed...

n

"...!?

"

n

"...?!

"

nOr that's how it was supposed to be and the two girls exchanged confused glances once they realized that they actually have to try to keep up with the sprinting attendant.

nAfter a few moments, the three of them managed to circle the academy and saw the main stage of the event.

nIn the shade of an ancient oak tree, a conflict was playing out.

nOn one side there was the first prince Horeo doing his best with holding back his fiancee, lady Miriette - just like a bouncer would try to hold back a bickering patron from participating in a brawl.

nBoth of them were using enchants augmenting their bodies and as it was common for powerful enchants their bodies were glowing in the colors of their respective attributes.

nThe gold-haired prince was emitting a golden light while the dark-haired Miriette was shining with brilliant green - eyes, even though Miriette's eyes and hair were so dark green that they seemed black, the color of her spells was green just like any other wind magician's.

nOn the other side was the second prince Surou - spreading his arms protectively in front of the blond-haired heroine – crying and bowing her head apologetically as she desperately tried to salvage whatever food was still good from the toppled basket, looking terrified to her core.

nBoth of them were surrounded by the semi-transparent water bubble - the anti-spell barrier - a standard defensive spell for water magicians which power depended solely on the vastness of the caster's mana pool.

n

"Let me go this instant, Horeo! I'm going to beat some common sense into that uncultured little...!

"

nMiriette was shouting, flailing her arms, and kicking up her legs up - making it obvious that if Horeo wasn't holding her back, she would already get to the pitiful blond girl in front of her and tear her limb from limb with her bare hands – which considered her augmented strength wasn't out of the realm of possibility...

n

"N-no...! For goodness sake...! Miriette! Calm down! People are watching

"

nHoreo was struggling with holding his fiancee back.

nIn terms of pure quality of the augmentation, wind attribute allowed for stronger enchants than light but in a normal situation the light enchants would be more powerful because of the light magician's superiority in the amount of mana at their disposal - but when it came to Miriette it wasn't the case at all as she had at least as much mana as a light magician - so poor Horeo was sweating bullets with just holding her back, and with each passing second the dark-haired girl was getting closer to breaking free.

n

"She hasn't done it on purpose...!

"

nThe pale as a ghost Surou shouted trying to keep his voice steady - but his hands were shaking from actual fear.

nHe knew full well that with the size of his mana reservoir - that was actually quite vast for a water magician, but not big enough to put him up as a transcended magician - he wouldn't be able to take even three spells from the transcended magician with the mana equal to the light mage...

n...especially not one as furious as the seething girl in front of him who was barely kept at bay by his older brother...

nThe unfortunate thing about that assumption was that the blue-haired prince's estimation was a generous overestimation on his part - the truth was Surou wouldn't be able to withstand even one of Miriette's spells...

n

"Like I care! Look at what she has done...!

"

n

"I'm sorry...! I'm sorry...! I'm so, so sorry...!

"

nMiriette roared, glaring at the ground, and kicked towards the picnic basked that the sobbing heroine really tried to get back in order, but no matter what, the blond-haired girl's attempts were as desperate as they were useless...

nThe hamburger-like sandwiches were spread on the grass, the bread, the salad, the tomatoes, the onion, the cheese, the bacon, everything was lying on the grass under the cover of the imported-fruit salad and doused with at least half a bottle of juice – most of which got soggy and fell apart the moment it was touched by the shaking hands of the heroine.

nIt was a certainly disheartening sight for the one who prepared it - Zoemi – but the black-haired boy was far more worried about his master's terrible behavior.

nThe dark-haired girl was showing a really petty and ugly side of herself to everyone present, and Zoemi was sure that at least a few students were peeking at them from the academy's windows - thankfully only a few classrooms had a good view on the spot...

nbut even so...

n|This straight-up shows Miriette in the worst light possible!|
