Chapter 85: Roderick really wants to trigger the game event (6)
"It's embarrassing, but why can't boys cry? This world is too harsh on boys. I have a fragile heart too."
"Pfft, I didn't see that at all."
Louise laughed out loud, expressing her total disbelief.
"Senior sister, you are really going too far."
"If it's just my safety, you don't have to worry. Although I'm the runner-up in the fourth grade, I won't lose if I have to fight Cecilia one-on-one."
Louise said as she puffed out her chest with pride.
"Besides, I'm so pretty and cute, and I've encountered stalkers many times. That little boy just now couldn't do anything to me."
"…Senior, didn't you just complain about my narcissism?"
Seeing Alfred's dumbfounded expression, Louise became a little angry.
She leaned over the front desk, put her arms around Alfred's neck and started pinching his face.
"Why, don't you think I'm pretty and cute?"
"No, Senior, you are super pretty and cute, top notch."
"So, between me and Rose, who is prettier and cuter?"
Louise deliberately asked this very malicious question in a joking tone, looking forward to Alfred's reaction.
"Senior, your question is really mean."
"Why, you can't answer? If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I won't let you go."
"Then please hold me like this until the library closes. To be honest, it's my honor to be held by a beautiful girl like you."
As Alfred spoke, he deliberately glanced at the students who were studying in the distance.
Louise followed his line of sight and saw that many girls had put down what they were doing and were looking at this side with their hands covering their mouths and giggling.
The boys looked at Alfred with envy and hatred.
Louise immediately felt embarrassed and quickly let go of Alfred.
"Junior, you have the nerve to say that I have bad intentions. Also, you actually adopted this self-destructive tactic, aren't you afraid that Junior Sister Rose will be angry later?"
"If it's Sister Rose, she will definitely understand me. Yes, Sister Rose is awesome."
(You actually said that to my face, Al-chan, you idiot... Also, I have a feeling that Rose-chan will have a hard time in the future...)
Looking at Alfred's confident look, Louise felt mixed emotions.
The two of them paused for a short while.
Louise was busy writing her newly conceived novel.
Alfred helped her put the remaining books back in their places, then found a seat nearby and started reading.
When it was time to close the library, Louise activated the magic props, cleaned the public study area of the library, locked the door, and hung up a closed sign.
"I didn't expect you to stay so late, junior. Won't it affect your rest?"
Louise asked apologetically on the way back to the dormitory.
This was the first time in a long time that she went back to the dormitory with others.
And the person who accompanied her was a cute junior whom she liked very much. Louise felt really happy.
But she also didn't want to interfere with Alfred's normal life because of her own reasons.
"It doesn't matter. At worst I can just make up for it with sleep in class tomorrow."
“Pfft, you’ll lose credits if you do that. You’re still a freshman… Even if you have those credits, it’s better to be frugal.”
Louise thought about the fact that Alfred had won 25 credits from Lucius, and she hesitated a little when she warned him.
"Hmm? Is it because of the freshman trial?"
Alfred asked confused.
"Ah, someone has already told you, junior~"
"No, I just remember hearing it from someone, but I don't know the specific details."
Alfred said with a shrug.
"Is that so? Then I won't tell you the details, or it will be unfair to the other first-year students. By next week, you should know the details. It's tragic in every sense."
Louise couldn't help but smile as she thought about this time of year.
"Tragic?"
"Hehe, look forward to it. But you should be fine, junior, but you can't waste it recklessly just because you have a lot of credits now."
"Well, I've remembered your warning, Senior. And if I really need credits, I have ways to earn them, so you don't have to worry about me, Senior."
"Hmm? Junior, you are not planning to do anything illegal, are you~"
Louise leaned close to Alfred's face and stared at him.
"Although I don't care about this kind of thing, Cecilia is very stubborn. Even if you are a junior who has a good relationship with Junior Rose, if you do something illegal, she will definitely not show mercy."
She raised her index finger and warned Alfred very seriously.
"Ahaha, so that's how it is. However, I don't think I'll ever have to risk being scolded by Senior Cecilia in order to collect a large number of credits."
Alfred folded his hands behind his head and replied with a smile.
"Junior, you know that what you just said is a foreshadowing in the novel. You might actually encounter a situation that will require a lot of credits later."
"Foreshadowing? Ah, raising the flag..."
"Raise the flag?"
Louise asked, tilting her head in confusion.
"It's the same as what you said about foreshadowing, but the way of saying it is a little different. It's like putting a flag on the character's body, implying that the event corresponding to the content on the flag will definitely happen in the future."
"Hmm~ That's an interesting statement. I'll remember it."
As they were chatting, they unknowingly walked to the door of the girls' dormitory.
"See you tomorrow then."
"See you tomorrow, Louise-senpai."
After saying goodbye to Alfred, Louise silently watched his back as he left.
Until his back completely disappeared into the darkness.
Louise turned around somewhat dejectedly and went upstairs to her room.

Late at night, in the shopping district inside Illya and Alia Academy.
This place is usually very lively during the day because of the large number of college students.
But once it was late at night, because most of the students would return to the dormitory to rest, this place naturally fell into silence, as if the whole street had fallen asleep with the night.
In such a shopping street, a person with a hood covering his face appeared.
After walking for a distance on the main street of the shopping street, she immediately turned into a dark alley next to her.
