Until yesterday she was looking forwards to overthrown the heroine, and continue to keep a lookout at all the first grade’s cla.s.ses, but unexpectedly she did not found the heroine even after the whole week ... ... it was completely white. To the Belfreya whose head had fall down upon the desk and exposing the sorrowful back, her cheeks was pinched by Syulein.

“Oi, Bell. Well, oh, that. Where is your spirit?’

"It's totally burned out ... .... Hey, Syulein, just a bit, look where you poke—“

          “Ah?”

          “Mr. President, this is the cla.s.sroom. You have done it twice”

          “You have been saying something strange, but...”

          While boisterously scratching the light brown hair with his hands, Syulein raised his eyebrows towards Fior Curtis, the student councils’ vice chairman next to him. Because it seems fascinating, his friend has come with him all the way to the first grade cla.s.sroom during lunch time just to watch him stir someone. What’s more, contrary to Fior’s princely appearance, he is actually a person who has a bad habit playing with people.

It was just a rotten luck that Syulein and Fior became friends. This relationship was due to the fact that the two of them were childhood friend, including the relationship between the houses, later on belonging to the same student council in the school, thus make it easier for them to act together. And naturally, he was also acquainted with Belfreya.

Since the beginning, Syulein has already disclosed the information on Belfreya act as a villainous lady to him, and when they arrive at the scene and saw the current condition of the girl, Syulein cannot help but to use his finger to poke at her while Fior laughed at his act. The fact is that he is that sort of friend.

Fior, who knew the inside story and often made fun of Syulein based on Belfreya's story, was laughing in return. And ultimately shut up. That just how the three of them are.

"Rein-sama .... The heroine, heroine is nowhere, nowhere to be found....... Ha~ it, it cannot be. It is said that when the heroine element reaches its highest value, a legendary promised event will happened. An abduction flag. However, that event is already been started, so......!”

“To kidnap a heroine, that opponent is quite a fierce person.”

"Is this the heroine whom Bell-chan been talking all the time?  If it is about her specs, it should not be easy for her to be caught so early. So ... this is surely a trap, based on the information I gathered, he has already been caught. In fact I’m also working behind the scene! "

"- Fi! Fior-sama, this is where the heroine has something to do."

“You, your face is saying like this is how it should already been decided”

At that time, Belfreya's cla.s.smate who were also at that place were whispering with each other

Wavy gold hair and orange eyes. The vividness of marigold and the beautiful expression suit her well. That sun-like girl was folding her hand together and showing a difficult face. She has been searching for the heroine for quite a long time now, but then she realized that, she might has not been as familiar with the heroine as what she previously thought.

For Belfreya, she had previously believe that she would definitely see the heroine if she entered the school. However, it did not come true and the information that she has is too little for her to determine the real situation. In the otome game, the heroine specification can be change such as the heroine's name and even their family’s name as they like. Even though initially she remember the heroine's name, however according to Fior, the family name does not exist.

As for the information that Belfreya knows, the heroine is supposed to have soft peachy hair, and the position of her family is lower than hers, and that she is the strongest woman ever. There were a couple of people with pink hair, but there were not enough fighting spirits in them for them to be the heroine. Belfreya already thought of the possibility that the heroine is hiding her ability, but even so, it is supposed to show up under the pressure. Because it is the heroine, you know.

It was the rival position that she had been committed to be for the last seven years, so she concluded that there was no heroine in any person that she had observed in the school. No way, maybe she disguised herself as a man! Therefore she also observed the male student from around the 4th day of enrollment, but there is no one who have the appearance like the heroine. A male student who frantically trying to stop his fiancé from thrusting into any other male student, and a friend who keep laughing, are also cooperated in the search, but no positive results come out.

“Is the heroine really not here?”

“Bell...”

Perhaps she should be happy that there is no heroine that would threatened her future. However as Belfreya hearts pounds, there is an unspeakable feeling of emptiness occurred. For her, towards the heroine, being the rival has led to such big goals and high walls. And she yearns for that.

"... Indeed Bell has been working hard to overthrown heroine, so when the goal is gone, that feeling of  getting lost ... ... I also understand a little bit of it and that’s why I cooperated with you."

“Rein-sama”

"But yet, the days and efforts that the Bell have acc.u.mulated over time will never go away ... ... as long as we been together forever, I can a.s.sure you properly."

Belfreya raised her face that was lying down and turned uneasy eyes towards Syulein. With gentle eyes, he softly extended his hand with a soft smile on his mouth. She grinned shyly and at the hand presented towards her, she took it firmly. She was beaten by his kindness.

And then he shamelessly grasp her hand into his.

"By the way, do you know Bell-chan, there is a girl who has been taking a leave of absence for a long time since entering the first grade cla.s.s?

"Is it true?"

When Belfreya heard the casual remark from Fior, her face, body and consciousness began to flare up, turning her upside down; physically and emotionally. Holding her hands to her chest, she could feel that the heat overflowing from it, burning her soul once again. The changes in Belfreya against her previous predicament was fast.

“Fufufu~ so it is like that. The heroine was also a samurai huh...I already knew that it will be a fierce battle and sometimes it can be cruel, but it was never said that the heroine was also familiar with the law. She capable of attracting the attention by being [a freshman who is one week late], and furthermore she will be able to shake my intention in this way ... She is truly the strongest rival.”

Again, Belfreya trembled thinking of that terribly strong enemy. She acknowledged the heroine capabilities in make full use of that strategy. The heroine has already been working from before the entrance ceremony. Cutting off one week of physical fitness and mental strength may affect your body. However, her fighting spirit does not change. All the missing thing can be easily recovered as much as you can with the spirits and guts of this soul.

“Sa~a let’s go heroine. Let’s engraved the existence of this Belfreya Alunst!”

Within the seven years, after repeating it over and over again in her head she has forcefully write "the letter of challenge" which was edited over and over again until it was completed one month ago. And with a lively smile, Belfreya jumped out of the cla.s.sroom.

“Well, I’m glad Bell-chan is finally cheer up”

“......I see”

“Um, Syulein. Hmm... Mr. President. As the representative of the school, it is important to have a grasp on the situation of all student.”

“You (Teme~), you did this on purpose. That timing is definitely on purpose.”

“Hey, that is my neck! My neck!!”

In this way, the main part finally started.
