Chapter 81: Roderick really wants to trigger the game event (2)

"Yes, I have finished reading this part. In order to avoid causing trouble to you, I want to return it as soon as possible."

"Brother Al, are you really here just to return the book today~?"

Louise asked with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Well, what else do you think I have another purpose for coming to the library?"

Alfred responded with a smirk.

"Because you said, Al, that you would come and chat with me more often when you have nothing to do. So I thought that returning the book was just an excuse, and you actually came to chat with me. Sad~┭┮﹏┭┮"

Louise explained, rubbing her eyes and pretend crying.

"I don't have any plans for the rest of the time. If you don't mind, I can chat with you."

"Brother Al, don't you need to go find Sister Rose?"

"Sister Rose has an appointment with Lily tonight, so she returned to the dormitory early."

Alfred replied.

"Lily?"

Louise tilted her head in confusion, looking curious.

"Oh, yes, it's Liliana D. Christiana. We are childhood sweethearts and often played together when we were young, so I usually just call her by her nickname, Lily."

"I see, it's a very intimate name~"

Louise straightened up slightly and gave Alfred a suspicious look.

"So, Junior Al, you came to spend time with me because you were left alone by Junior Rose and her cute childhood sweetheart? Junior Al, you really are a bad man."

"If you misunderstand me like this, Senior Louise, it is indeed difficult for me to refute you. But I came to see you sincerely today, even if Sister Rose and Lily don't have any plans."

Alfred shrugged his shoulders and replied in a deliberately frivolous manner.

"A man's mouth is full of lies. Who knows if you, my junior brother, are just telling lies to please me, your elder sister~?"

"So what do you want me to do to make you believe me?"

"If you come and chat with me tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I will believe that you are telling the truth. How about it, can you do it?"

Louise had a confident smile on her face, as if she was sure that Alfred would not agree.

"Okay, I understand. Then I will come to see Senior Louise at about the same time tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. Is that okay?"

"Eh? Junior, is it really okay for you to agree to this? Junior Rose will be jealous. Oh, and your cute childhood friend will be jealous too."

Louise was stunned for a moment, then puffed up her cheeks angrily.

"Isn't this your suggestion, Senior?"

"I was just kidding. You should just let me tease you, your elder sister~"

"I am seriously planning to accept your request, Senior."

Alfred said as he closed the distance between him and Louise a little.

"Besides, I hate being passive, so I don't intend to let you tease me obediently, Senior Louise."

"Hmph~ Be careful or I'll tell Rose about you flirting with me in the library. Also, you're too close, please move back a little."

Louise urged with a blushing face.

Although she said this, she didn't seem to want to step back or distance herself from Alfred.

(Hmm? Why did the senior suddenly become a little weird... Did she misunderstand something, or did I say something wrong again?)

Alfred stepped back as Louise requested, feeling a little strange in his heart.

It was clear that the two of them were getting along very well just now, and were making slightly excessive jokes and teasing each other like close friends.

But Louise didn't know what she was thinking and suddenly became shy.

As if to hide her shyness, Louise sat down and began to write frantically.

"Speaking of which, Senior, I just saw you writing something from a distance. Are there so many people returning books recently?"

Because Louise was a librarian, Alfred thought she was writing records about borrowing and returning books.

"Ah, this, this is not a loan record..."

Louise said somewhat awkwardly.

"What is that?"

"Brother Al, it's not a good habit to pry into a girl's privacy without permission~"

Louise blushed, pressed the notebook with one hand and raised her index finger with the other.

She emphasized to Alfred with the attitude of an older sister lecturing someone.

"I'm sorry, my question was so rude."

Because of the same thing, Alfred was severely scolded by Liliana at dinner tonight.

So he apologized to Louise very sincerely, hoping that she would show mercy and forgive him this time.

"Eh? Junior apologized unexpectedly frankly~"

Louise felt a little stunned, and finally smiled wickedly and teased.

"Senior, you are really too much. I have always been a good and frank junior."

"Let's not talk about whether I'm being honest or not, but you're definitely not a good junior, right? After all, you just teased me on purpose."

"Louise-senpai, we are the same, right? You've been making fun of me all the time~"

"Pfft, that's true~"

Alfred and Louise chuckled at the same time.

"By the way, if you're busy, should I put these books back on the shelf? And these too."

Alfred looked inside the service desk and saw a number of books that Louise had not yet put back on the shelf.

So he offered to help.

"Hey, there's no need to trouble you with such a small matter, junior."

"If I can be of any help, please don't be polite to me. If I will only cause trouble, please tell me directly and I won't interfere."

"Junior brother, you are surprisingly tough, just like you said."

Louise gave a somewhat confusing smirk and said something that Alfred couldn't understand.

"Since you said so, I will not consider your feelings. If I think you are getting in the way, I will say it directly without mercy."

"Although I am confident in my ability to endure psychologically, I still hope you will be more lenient with me."

"Hehe, I don't want that. Wait a moment, I'll register these books, and you can put them back on the shelf, Al. As for the books over there, I've already registered them."

Louise said as she picked up the book that Alfred returned.
