Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant Chapter 127 - 35 - Interfering With The Event (part 2)

Chapter 127 - 35 - Interfering With The Event (part 2)

Lady Espine stepped in front of her attendant with her arms crossed and her head held high.
"And while we are intruding on the sense of humor and the poor manners territory..."
She squinted her eyes and looked at the heroine.
"How long do you intend to make student Burushiitto stand up in the presence of two high nobles when even the lower noble is kneeling with his head down? What is the meaning of that? Is she committing lese-majeste? Does that mean that I can execute her? Do you want me to execute her, is that it?"
"!!!!"
At Miriette's words, Burushitto flinched and tried to kneel down immediately but Surou protectively shielded her with one arm while holding her up with the other.
"My Buru doesn't have to kneel in front of the likes of you."
He declared without an ounce of shame.
"...oh...?"
Miriette only raised her brow and shrugged her shoulders.
"Zoemi, stand up. We are making the first prince wait. You know, the really important one."
"...!"
After a snarky comment that made the second prince face twist as if he licked a raw lemon, Zoemi hurriedly decided that it was best for him to comply with the girl's command and leave the spot as soon as possible...!
If only this event could be dealt with that easily...
"No, you won't go anywhere, we're not done talking."
Surou walked in front of Miriette, blocking her path.
"And since when do you have the right to order me around?"
Miriette started tapping her foot with discontent and glared at the second prince with a challenge.
"Funny thing you say that."
Instead of backing down at the sight of Miriette's hair slowly bristling as hr agitation grew, Surou smiled.
'Since when do I have the power to order a student like you around – well - since yesterday, to tell you the truth. The previous student supervisor for the freshmen suddenly resigned and I was asked to take over his duty. Funny how it works, don't you think?"
He declared.
"Hmph!"
"!!!!!"
Miriette only frowned but Zoemi froze.
That didn't happen in the game...!
Student supervisors in the AspakeonyAcademy could punish the misbehaving students even with a suspension.
That's why the role was given only to the most trustworthy student from each year.
In the game, it was simply a role given to a faceless NPC that showed up once and was mentioned less than five times in all of the playthroughs!
Not only Sourou didn't match the description, but he was also already abusing his position first day on the job!
"Lady Miriette, sir Zoemi... you two must be busy, isn't that right? My prince, please, let's leave them...!"
Showing quick wits of which the black-haired boy would never suspect her, the heroine pulled on the second prince's arm that he used to prevent her from kneeling in front of Miriette and asked in a coquettish voice.
"No, as if student Espine had anything productive to do."
But Surou merely scoffed, shaking his head and patting the blond girl's hand, not even looking at her face – unluckily enough since Burushiitto was biting her lips clearly wanting nothing more than leaving as far from the bathroom's entrance as possible.
...but maybe that was the reason why did she messed up...
"S-sir Zoemi... remember what we talked about before? It was a meaningful conversation...!"
The blond heroine tried to make Zoemi realize that Surou's act was a part of his act – but doing so she got the attention of the dark-haired girl who literally trembled from fury after being reminded that not so long ago her attendant left the classroom together with the big-chested girl...
"Of course, miss Burushiitto, I understand."
Zoemi really understand what was going on – but what could he do about it?!
Ran away from the student supervisor?
That's not how things worked – merely running away didn't solve anything...
...and that made Zoemi realize that he cannot stop the event, but he can at least try to alter it in favor of his master...
Surou was obviously trying to piss Miriette off while Burushiitto didn't, but unfortunately, it was the blond girl who ended up accomplishing the second prince's goal...
"I see... I see... Miss commoner thinks that she can do whatever she wants because she got chummy with the noble, huh?"
Lady Espine's frown became fiercer as she started nodding and thumping her foot with twice the speed...
"Student supervisor Surou, why are you holding back my attendant and me? If you have nothing important to say – leave my sight, or else."
The dark-haired girl declared, raising her head with pride as she glared down at the blue-haired boy.
"A reason? Oh, but I have the reason, student Espine."
The second prince showed a nasty smirk and chuckled.
"There has been some obvious bullying done to my Buru... and you are the main suspect."
Surou declared without batting an eye staring straight at the dark-haired villainess.
"Haaaah...?"
Miriette's hair bristled as if she was a furious porcupine about to attack.
"Excuse me? Is that supposed to be a joke?"
Lady Espine was looking at the second Prince as if he was something she had stepped in on the road when she wasn't looking where she was going.
"You aren't funny, at all."
She added coldly – and honestly, Zoemi couldn't believe that someone like Surou was able to withstand Miriette's deadly glare...
...the blue-haired boy must have felt overwhelmingly confident...
"The bullying has been done by a strong magician, and both your personality and magic power are strong... to say the least."
Surou revealed, shrugging his shoulders as if the case was already cracked and solved with only the punishment left to be decided.
"Oh? If that's the main reason then except for you, and maybe Zoemi, everyone in the school should be the main suspect."
Miriette was furious but was holding back, getting in a magic fight with the student supervisor was never a good idea no matter on whose side the fault was.
"...!"
Surou clenched his fists but also managed to keep his cool, though Miriette hit him right where it hurt the most – straight into his inferiority complex.
"You're not wrong about your attendant... that's why my Buru is keeping him company when I'm interrogating you, he is the only trustworthy person in this situation."
The blue-haired second prince declared, shaking his hand dismissively at the fuming girl.
"Oh, so you are interrogating me now, are you?"
Miriette smirked and slowly nodded his head, barely able to hold herself back from utterly destroying the overconfident boy in front of her...
...but the problem was she also kept glancing at the blond girl standing back with her black-haired attendant.
"Sir Zoemi – I know that will sound unbelievable, ridiculous even – but you must believe me! The truth is that this whole world is an...!"
"...?!"
All of a sudden the blond girl made an expression as if she decided on something and grabbed onto Zoemi's hand and climbed on her tiptoes to urgently whisper into his ear...
*SMACK*
*CRACK*
Unfortunately, that was also the moment when Miriette stepped in between them and slapped their hands apart.
"Aurgh...! Ughhh!"
Burushiitto stumbled back holding her shaking hand – Miriette has used her enchantment and the heroine's index and middle fingers ended up broken like dry twigs.
"Buru! Are you alright!?"
The second prince gasped and held her protectively.
"You...!"
Once he saw the state of Burushiitto's hand, he wheezed and glared at the dark-haired girl with pure hatred.
"What do you think you're doing attacking another student in the presence of the student supervisor!?"
Surou shouted at Miriette.
"N-no, my prince..! It-ti's nothing...! M-major heal...!"
The heroine shook her head, but it was very obvious that she was in actual pain, but even so, she did her best and immediately used one of her spells...
*crack*
With a soft noise, both of her fingers returned to their proper position and there was no trace of them being broken – not even the slightest swelling.
"See...? It's like nothing happened!"
Burushiitto declared, swallowing the remains of her tears and showing off her healthy hand.
"No, there is a huge problem. Such a thing cannot go unpunished!"
The second prince called out in anger.
But if he thought that Miriette would bother with him, he surely overestimated himself.
In her eyes, there was only Burushitto now - and those eyes were full of bloodlust.
"Surou, you can do whatever you want with that wench."
Miriette pointed her finger threateningly.
"But don't let her get so close to my attendant ever again or her head will fall - is that clear?"
"Y-you can't decide for him with who he can and cannot be around!"
Surou must have been tired of living because he called out, expectantly looking at the black-haired attendant as if he expected him to agree and join his side at any given moment.
