After a long hour, the last period ended.
"Alright, our class ends here."
Emilia woke up and prepared to go back home. When
suddenly, Akami and her groups blocked her way.
"Oi, new student, you're cheating, don't you? There's no way
A commoner like you can answer it easily."
"Yeah,Akami right. You liar."
Emilia thought they were talking by themselves, so she
ignored it and walked away.
"How dare you! You're being rude to Akami!"
Emilia stopped, turned her head back, and asked calmly.
"Huh? Who are you again?"
"Rude! You just picked a fight with us today and are pretending to forget about it?"
"You really have no shame, commoner. You were lucky back then. So right now
I'll show you what will happen if you dare pick a fight with me."
Suddenly a girl appeared from nowhere.
"Oh, there you are!"
"Oh Chloe.. What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you, of course. Today was your first day, right?"
"Chloe.. Where did I hear that name before? Do you know her? Aka-."
"Chloe..it's me, Akami."
"Akami?... Oh, Uncle Kelvin's daughter, right? Long time no see! How are you doing?"
"I'm fine... By the way, what are you doing here?"
"Ahh, I'm searching for Emilia. I don't know if you guys are in the same class."
"I mean..we do.. But who is she to you?"
"Isn't it already clear? We're friends, of course!"
"Friend? With a commoner like her?"
Chloe's previously smiling face gradually changed.Her
gaze became sharp.'
"Commoner?.."
"Yeah. I mean, you're from Mane's family. You shouldn't be around.
with a commoner like he-"
"Shut up."
"I'm sorry, did you just say something?"
"Shut your mouth." Commoner? don't think you know who she is! She is Aka."
Suddenly Emilia stopped Chloe and pulled her hand while walking away from Akami.
They stop right in front of the female student's toilet.
"What are you doing?!"
"I'm asking you back. What are you trying to do?"
"I-..I'm sorry..I don't think before I speak..I almost reveal your true identity."
"Nevermind. Just don't do it again. We'll never know if I can stop you next time."
"You really are my friend Aka-."
She did it again.
"Who's there?!."
".It's me.. Linn Kimizu.. I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."
"Ah, that milk girl before."
"..Yeah.."
'So what are you doing here? Did you follo-"
"I'm not! I accidentally see you in a hurry. I thought something had happened. So I follo-"
"I see."
"Does she have the same class as you, Emilia?"
"Yeah."
"I see.. It's nice to meet you. I'm Chloe. Emilia's bestfriend. Hehehe."
"Ni-.. Nice to meet you. My name is Linn Kimizu. Yo, you can call me Linn."
"Alright then.. Ahh, it's already 5:25 p.m.! My favourite shop will be closing soon! Hurry up!."
Chloe pulled both Emilia and Linn's hands and started running.
"Come on, you too, Linn!"
"Eh?..Me?!."
Three of them run together with a smile, shock, and no expression in their faces. Until they arrive at the shop.
