Chapter 93 - 26 - The Good News, The Bad News, Also, A Few Mistakes (part 1)



After all, with how his character was, he would always come out as rude to people other than his master, unless he was extremely cautious around them.

So the thing that happened with the twins wasn\'t that unexpected...

But it was extremely unwelcomed.

|I only hope that everything goes well for Miriette.|

He thought to himself, worried that the first prince Horeo will not be as invested in his date with Mireitte as he should be because he would be worried about his two attendants.

"Tsk..."

He clicked his tongue while passing by the doors of students\' rooms lined up on both sides of the hallway.

"No, I have nothing to do with that!"

"..."

One of the rooms was not closed - there was a crack left open by the door and an annoyed voice was coming out of it.

"That\'s why you called for me, Su? Seriously?"

"?!?!!?"

If this was any other conversation involving any normal student, Zoemi would just pass right by while looking away and doing his best to not overhear anything he wasn\'t supposed to - but this time it was different – mainly because of who the two people having a conversation were.

So, the scarred attendant stopped and stood by the door in silence...

"...muffle..."

No, Zoemi did even more than that - he pointed his index finger at himself and cast the silencing spell so that he would not be able to produce a sound that could alarm the people inside about his presence...

"I thought that we were friends!"

It was definitely the voice of the green-haired capture target, the rowdy prankster and the son of a country\'s treasurer, Reo - but what was more important, he was talking to someone about whom Zoemi had a sneaking suspicion was rather a reincarnation just like him, or at least a very suspicious individual.

"Is it so weird? You are pulling shit like that every day, and you are still surprised that I question you when someone causes trouble left and right?"

It was the blue-haired second prince, Surou, the younger brother of Horeo, and the capture target whose rout has been accelerated to an outrageous degree.

"Every day? Give me a break!

Reo scoffed angrily.

"First of all, I\'m not strong enough to punch through a desk like that! Remember? I\'m an average wind magician, not the overpowered transcended one like lady Espine! Second of all, why would I even bother going pranking a girl that I barely even seen since the beginning of the year?"

Reo added.

"And third of all – I do pranks, the most that ever happened was there\'s more laundry to do – I never did and never will threaten death upon anyone else!"

The green-haired capture target ended his countdown sounding absolutely furious that such a thing as suggesting him threatening others was directed towards his person.

"...!"

As for the final reason for what Zoemi decided to eavesdrop - his master\'s name was mentioned in that heated conversation – Reo mentioned her in the heat of the moment but now Zoemi had to make sure that it will not be taken out of context by Surou.

"...shadow connect..."

Since the visuals would be nice too, Zoemi whispered the incantation, and a thin hair-like shadow shoot from his foot, right under the door and inside the well-lit room where it connected with the shadow under the bed, causing the said shadow to become his own

With that, Zoemi could see what was happening on the inside.

The green-haired Reo was standing up in the center of the room and the blue-haired second prince Surou was sitting on a chair with his legs leaning against the desk.

Even though it was Reo\'s room the second prince was clearly the one in charge there.

"Relaks, I was just making sure. So you aren\'t the one to bully my Buru, right?"

Surou asked moving his hand to the side.

"Of course not!"

The green-haired second year scoffed and crossed his arms, glaring angrily at the second prince.

"Then what about today? The whole dirt and mud spread all over half of the academy\'s drying laundry? It wasn\'t one of your pranks hitting her as collateral? It sounds right up your alley."

The blue-haired boy shrugged waving his hand dismissively before raising his brow and leaning towards the green-haired youth.

"Nope, I eased up on the large-scale jokes - last time I did something involving a crowd, I almost got messed up by that asshole Xeonith! Imagine that! He launched the stone barrage at me! Me! His childhood friend! Gosh! How he changed since we entered the academy - we barely became the second years and all of a sudden he thinks he is such a big shot... "

Reo frowned and shook his head while making a bitter expression.

"Anyway, I\'m keeping a low profile..."

"...huh..."

He added with a scoff and Surou breathed out...

The scene looked like one of the low-level workers was reporting to his superior.

Both Reo and Surou seemed to be equally flustered although for very different reasons.

"Xeonith you say...? I haven\'t thought about him..."

Surou raised his brows in realization, nodding to himself – before he suddenly chuckled and glanced at the green-hair sophomore.

"But besides that, did your daddy issue get better?"

He asked mockingly.

"That\'s none of your business, prince!"

Surou hit him in the sore spot and Reo snapped.

"Pffft...! Hahaha!"

But the second prince only laughed and waved his hand.

"Don\'t mind me, I\'m just joking with you."

He still sounded jeering, but then his expression got serious.

"Tell me, as someone with experience of pranking and setting up traps, do you think that what happened today to my girl was an accident, or not?"

The blue-haired second prince leaned forward and rested his chin on his fist while staring at the green-haired boy.

"..."

Reo was keeping silent and squinting his eyes at the second prince for a few seconds but soon he gave up with a sigh.

"In my opinion... based on what you told me earlier, that is - That\'s not a coincidence at all unless that girl is the unluckiest person in the world."

"...!"

"...!"

Both Surou and Zoemi flinched at Reo\'s words.

"Explain why exactly – or is that just a hunch?."

Surou hurried the green-haired sophomore.
