Chapter 70: Follow-up to the Exchange of Notes
Elaje tilted her head in confusion, as if she had no idea what Edward had said.
(Eh? She should have read the contents, right?)
Edward began to feel a little unconfident, and a bad premonition gradually emerged in his heart.
"Mr. Lespinas, you should have read the contents, right?"
Adelaide looked at Ella Jeal suspiciously and confirmed tentatively.
"Eh? No, I haven't seen it. I really don't know anything! Is this true?!"
Elaje explained in a panic.
"Forget it, forget it, let's just leave it at that for now. But you have to promise me not to reveal the contents inside."
"Okay, okay, I definitely won't tell anyone what I saw!"
Ella clenched her fists in front of her chest and answered seriously.
(Didn’t you confess it yourself?!)
Adelaide couldn't help but complain in his heart.
After Elaje left, Edward still felt something was strange.
She was worried and decided to check the contents of the notebook.
(Hmm... this reverse cover is also surprisingly new...)
Just after carefully examining the cover of the notebook, Edward's heart almost sank.
Compared to Ella's notebook, the contents of this notebook are slightly more normal.
Of course, it's just a little bit.
The original owner of the notebook seemed to use it to record schedules and plans.
Occasionally there will be some miscellaneous notes.
The problem is the names of these schedules, and the detailed notes below them...
[Tsundere Contrast Cuteness Campaign! (Day 1)
She deliberately acted cold and disgusted in front of Al, trying to attract his attention as calmly as possible.
Because Al is a fool, he can easily attract the attention of girls. At this time, I have to show a more irritable attitude and say sarcastic words to him to imply my affection for him.
When Al's attention is all on me, I will give him his special chocolate on Valentine's Day...
I am so talented! 】
After reading just two pages, Edward couldn't help but cover his face.
She had already guessed the owner of the notebook.
But, but...
(Why is Liliana a nympho? Isn't she a cool type of girl? Are her usual behaviors just an act? Her character is ruined!)
Adelaide's head has been filled with all kinds of complaints.
(And what’s with the last sentence?! ‘I’m so talented!’ Is it necessary to write something like this when writing a plan?!)
Adelaide felt that he might not be able to look Liliana in the eye again.
Well...and Ella Jeal.
She closed her notebook with mixed feelings and prepared to leave the dark corridor where she had a secret meeting with Ella and head to the classroom for the next class.
However... a hand was placed on Edward's shoulder from behind.
"Bartlett, you made me have such a hard time looking for you. By the way, why did you rush away with Lespinas after class? I couldn't stop you even if I called you."
Liliana smiled, put one hand on Edward's shoulder, and held up a notebook in the other hand.
"So, that Christiana classmate... when did you come?" (((;???;)))
Adelaide stammered.
A chill of cold sweat broke out from her forehead and flowed gently down her cheeks.
"Well, we've been here for a while now~" o((≡^♀^≡))o
Liliana still had that kind smile on her face, but her tone didn't have the slightest ups and downs.
Adelaide could not see any light in her emerald eyes.
It was a darkness that seemed to be able to swallow up everything in the world...
(This is so scary… Someone, someone please come and save me!) ((???|||))
"Well, you didn't see that, did you?"
Adelaide asked tremblingly.
"What did you see?"
Liliana tilted her head cutely, with an expression as if she really didn't understand what Edward was saying.
But Adelaide knew very well that Liliana had seen him peeking at her notebook, and he also knew very well that he had discovered her extremely shameful plans...
"I will never tell anyone that!"
"Ah, what are you talking about? I don't understand anything."
"I, I didn't see anything, and I don't know anything! I swear I won't tell anyone about what happened today, please believe me!"
Adelaide screamed incoherently.
"Well, let's make it clear, Bartlett. If you dare to tell the contents of this to a third party, you understand the consequences, right?"
Liliana tilted her head again, smiling and narrowing her eyes threateningly.
She gestured at her fair neck, which made Edward frightened.
"I-I understand. I know! I know nothing!"
"Very good~ Then please return the notebook to me. Also, can you see this notebook? Is it yours?"
She stretched out her hands, handed Edward's notebook with one hand, and prepared to take her own notebook with the other.
"Okay, okay..."
When Edward saw his notebook, he realized the serious problem.
"U-Um, Christiana classmate, you, you shouldn't have peeked at the contents, right?"
She maintained a trembling attitude, handed the notebook to Liliana and asked.
"I have no interest in prying into other people's privacy. Or, Bartlett, did you write some unspeakable secrets in this?"
"No, no. What secrets can I have?"
Adelaide smiled apologetically.
Because Liliana is scary. Really, really scary.
So she didn't dare to confirm with the other party whether she really hadn't read the contents of the notes, let alone take a tough attitude.
"I think so. Please take care of your things next time, and..."
"I, I know, that's not right. I don't know anything, so please don't worry, Christiana!"
After getting his notebook, Edward fled from the scene.
After all, Liliana is really terrifying.
Whether it was what was written in the notes or the attitude she showed in front of Edward.
(Anyway, anyway, I have to find a way to distance myself from Alfred from now on, at least to a place where I won’t be affected, to prevent him from turning evil and becoming the final boss.)
Edward instinctively felt that Alfred's existence itself was a huge minefield.
