Chapter 58: 058. Transfer Student (2)
"Veris!"
"...Beatrice?"
"Yes! Your Beatrice is here."
It was Beatrice who greeted Veris with a refreshing smile. It wasn't an easy situation to understand, so Veris looked around.
Indeed, it was the familiar scenery of the southern commercial district. The mansion looked just as it had when Veris and his party left.
But... why is Beatrice here?
Noticing Veris's confusion, Beatrice approached and subtly crossed her arms. Naturally, the three girls shot her fiery glares at such shameless behavior, but Beatrice ignored them and continued speaking.
"I came to the academy earlier than planned for my transfer. And... I heard you visited Count Vitelbach's territory?"
Her bright, lively smile was striking. Yet, for some reason, that gentle smile felt cold.
"Yeah, that's right."
"I'm really disappointed. Why did you...?"
Beatrice trailed off, but Veris easily understood her meaning.
