The exams are today… After the lunch we all will go and start scribbling until the late evening…

“Haaa… I don’t want to…!”

“Relax, it’s just an exam.” Iowa was writing something in her diary.

For the breakfast the four of us decided to gather, and eat together. Since it may be the last chance for some to talk today, the restaurant was filled to the brim.

“For some it’s just an exam. For the rest of us, it also includes writing it.” I glared at our Miss Teacher, who only needs to feign paying attention to the classroom.

“I’ll just roll the pencil today.” Mo was gluing some stickers to a pencil.

‘Scribble’

Luckily, the freak was too busy to pay attention to anybody. Maybe she went crazy again, so I don’t want to approach her in any way.

“Haaa… So boring…”

“If you don’t want to write an exam or idle, then what do you even want to do?” Big Sis shut her diary, and started pulling lemonade bottles out of her bag.

“Thanks. I too have no idea. I just think I’m burnt out right now. I need something exciting! Or maybe something extreme…” I glanced at the freak but she was too engrossed in studying.

‘You disgusting, perverted, inattentive…’

“Mhm?” (NJ)

“What’re you looking at?!”

“Mhm.” She shrugged her shoulders, and returned to writing. This bastard didn’t even care!

I drank the lemonade, and stared in the window.

“Oh, wow, is that the prince?” Suddenly, Mo’s remark got my attention.

I turned around, and saw how the Crown prince and his fiancée entered.

The girl was tugging him towards a table, which was immediately cleared of the students.

“My-my, being young sure is fun.” (IA)

“You say that like you are 150 years old woman. We are still young and full of vigor.”

“And very photogenic.” (Mo)

“Speak for yourself.”

“I did.” (Mo)

All three of us grinned at how lovey-dovey they were. Still, I felt like things are not going as good as they should’ve been.

“Excuse me.” I stood up, and headed in the royal couple’s direction. I entered the view of the fiancée, and with my gestures beckoned her to approach.

We exited the restaurant and found a good spot to talk.

“Is everything ok?”

“No… Argh! I… I invited him to have a lunch but… but I have no idea what to do…! When I told him how glad I am to have him with me [It is goo that you started paying me more attention, and stopped visiting all those girls], he smiled wryly, and looked away!” (CPF)

“This ungrateful…! You did tell him how much you love him, right?”

“Of course I did! [It’s not that I don’t want to see you, I just feel like you should be given enough space. However, you must pay me attention, and spend more time with me to strengthen our bond]” (CPF)
“And he?”

“He said ‘I shall not violate the obligation’! Uuuugh!” I hugged the poor girl, while clenching fists.

Should I get to this scumbag, I will strangle him!

“Ara? So this is how it went?” Both of us almost had a heart attack when we heard a voice nearby.

Big Sis was listening attentively.

“Get lost!”

“I may have an idea what went wrong.” (IA)

“And what was it?” (CPF)

“Let’s pretend I am the Crown prince. Tell me something.” (IA)

We exchanged glances but the girl still had no idea what to do.

“Just say you invite her for a dinner.”

“Y-you! H-how dare you disregard the time we are required to spend together? I demand that you go with me for a dinner!” (CPF)

“Wisky, have you noticed anything wrong?” (IA)

“Nay.”

“How I saw it: ‘You! You fail to fulfill the terms of our marriage contract, and that is why you must eat with me, or else my honor will be tarnished’. Guess what? It ain’t working well.” (IA)

“And you suggest?”

“Let’s do it Wisky way. Invite me for a dinner, like you do it with Enji.” She asked me.

“Hey, I’ve got nobody to chat with while eating, so haul your a* to the cafeteria. What you’re smirking at?! It’s just that every sane person is unavailable right now! Now get moving!”

“Do you see anything weird?” (IA)

“No.” (CPF)

“How I saw it: ‘Since I’ve got nobody to talk to right now, I’ll have you accompany me for a dinner’. As rude as yours, but at least she specified that she wants the person to spend time with her, not just ‘fulfill duty’. Now, Big Sister’s advice is…” (IA)

“Who cares? Let’s just go and teach that dense…!” Iowa immediately grabbed me by the collar, and started dragging me back to our table.

“I hope you got the point. Good luck~!” (IA)

A few minutes later the girl approached the table of the prince.

“Ufu-fu~.” We paid utmost attention.

The fiancée was blushing, and clearly stuttered while trying to talk. Still, she succeeded, because we clearly heard her invitation after she accidentally shouted.

“H-HOW ABOUT WE GO ON A DATE? N-NOT BECAUSE I LIKE YOU, OR ANYTHING! IT’S JUST…! KYAA?!” The entire restaurant pretended not to hear her shouting, and proceeded like nothing happened.

The feigned shrug off was turned impossible after the prince’s reaction.

He stood up and approached her.

Then he suddenly picked her up in a princess carry, and gently hauled her outside…

‘Damn, I wish I could experience something like dat…’

The lovey-dovey couple didn’t return even after the exams have passed.
