Chapter 22 Class Division Ceremony (4)
It would be fine if it were just one or two people.
Even with more than a dozen of these guys coming one after another, Edward still felt overwhelmed.
In addition, because she was not assigned to Artemis' class as planned in the game, her original plan to become the strongest character was completely disrupted.
Now Edward, who was extremely upset, was exhausted both physically and mentally.
If possible, she really wanted to escape back to the dormitory immediately, cover her head with the quilt and have a good sleep.
"Isn't this the daughter of the Bartlet family? May I ask why you are here?"
A fat boy with a lewd smile spoke up.
After seeing the other person's appearance, Adelaide roughly recognized the other person's identity.
(Roderick E. Zimmerman... He has never appeared in the game, but I heard that he has a very bad reputation...)
"Hello, Mr. Zimmerman, what can I do for you?"
Edward put on a polite smile and asked the other party why he came.
In addition to those who want to marry into the wife's family and become a phoenix from a sparrow (male version), there are also many people who come to chat with Adelaide with the mentality of just having fun.
After all, she is cute, there is nothing we can do about it.
In his previous life, Edward was also very good-looking, so he was often approached when he went shopping.
Although she was very annoyed, she also developed a pretty good way to deal with it.
"A charming lady like you should be the focus of the exchange meeting. But now you are alone in a corner like this, so I am a little curious about the reason."
Roderick continued in a very affected manner.
"There are so many men here, but it is really unreasonable that you are left out. Those people have no taste and gentlemanly manners."
"Thank you for your compliment, but I don't think I'm as good as you say."
Adelaide responded with a very hypocritical friendly tone, but he kept cursing in his heart.
(Your way of speaking is disgusting, can you speak in a more refined way?
Also, why are you so proud of yourself and using the method of belittling others to raise your own opinion? Isn't that a bit too bad? Do you really think that this method can successfully chat up girls? No way, no way? )
In her heart, she used extremely vicious criticism to vent the resentment that had been accumulating in her heart since the exchange meeting.
(And I finally got rid of those disgusting guys, but you still want me to get more attention. Are you trying to tire me to death?! Is there any deep hatred between you and me?!)
"You are so modest. This is the first time I have met a lovely woman like you."
Roderick, who had no idea of what Edward was thinking, continued to flatter him with exaggerated and pretentious lines.
"I'm glad you said that, but even among students of the same grade, there are students who are prettier, cuter, and more outstanding than me."
Edward looked at Liliana who was surrounded by a group of boys and girls in the middle of the hall and said.
"Like Christiana-san? Zimmerman-san, you also tried to strike up a conversation with Liliana-san just now, right? Did you say the same thing to her?"
In fact, Edward did not directly see the scene where Roderick and Liliana were chatting up each other.
But she guessed that this disgusting guy in front of her had most likely tried to talk to Liliana before looking for her.
Perhaps because there were too many people surrounding Liliana, he turned his target to himself.
That's really bad.
"You are joking. Before I came to see you, I didn't go to see Lily... Miss Christiana."
Roderick argued somewhat at a loss.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like he had gone to look for the other party before, but was ignored by Liliana.
(You are so panicked that you are considered third-rate~)
Edward looked at Roderick's panic and mocked him mercilessly in his heart.
When he was first reincarnated, Edward was unable to adapt to the aristocratic society because of his memories of his past life and suffered a lot.
But now she can handle normal situations with ease. At least she won't let others read her thoughts easily, or get panicked because her thoughts are seen through.
You mean Alfred?
He was just an accident, and ordinary nobles certainly could not be compared with the final boss.
At the same time, Adelaide also felt a little jealous of Liliana.
As expected of the planner’s biological daughter, she is still a popular character that attracts much attention even in real life.
But she also noticed that Liliana looked very tired.
(Alas, I have been entangled like this, the heroine must have had it even harder... Although I am still a little envious, I feel more sympathy for her now.)
Adelaide ignored Roderick and sighed as he looked at Liliana, who was surrounded by people and looked troubled.
"Ai De... Miss Bartlett, I think you misunderstood me before. Can we continue our conversation? I think I can definitely clear up your misunderstanding."
Roderick seemed to have regained his composure, put on a flattering smile and continued to pester.
(Wow, you haven’t left yet! Also, why did he dare to call me and Liliana by our first names… Could it be…?)
Edward looked at Roderick suspiciously, and some guesses came to his mind.
She decided to test the other party.
"Misunderstanding? What on earth are you talking about?"
Edward tried hard to recall the settings of Edward in the game, imitated the other party's attitude, tilted his head slightly, and responded to Roderick with a cold smile.
"I went to talk to Miss Christian because of my family's standpoint. You know that the Zimmerman family has a good relationship with the Christian family.
If I don't go and say hello to Miss Christiana, it will cause trouble among the family. I am not actually interested in her personally."
Roderick put on a confident smile and spoke eloquently to defend his previous gaffe.
(What are you talking about now... And I don't know if that good-for-nothing guy called the Zimmerman family could think of this.)
"So, is Mr. Zimmerman interested in me?"
"Yes, I am deeply fascinated by your stunning beauty. I wonder if you could do me the honor of chatting with me. I think we have a lot to talk about."
"I am very glad you can say that. Unfortunately, I am not interested in you."
There was still a smile on Edward's face, but his tone was very cold.
