"While displaying delicate consideration, isn't his approach a bit too straightforward...?"
Mariel-chan seemed to share my opinion.
"I think so too, but... Miss Alicia might find relief in that aspect of his, don't you think?"
Sei chuckled, effortlessly catching the wet towel tossed by Byakko-sama, and wiped his face vigorously.
"Sei! Teacher Marlen is going to explain the application of magic!"
"I'm coming now!"
Sei responded to Adry-sama's beckoning and shouted back while running towards him.
"What, was that secret talk earlier about this...?"
No, Mariel-chan, what are you disappointed about? Huh?
Seeing my archaic smile, Mariel-chan hastily changed the subject.
"S-so, does Adry-sama like Alicia-sama?"
"Eh?"
"Well, you see, he calls Alicia-sama 'Allie' as a nickname, and he acts so friendly, even going as far as trying to resolve a misunderstanding between the two of you..."
"That's true..."
"Alicia-sama wants to be the Crown Prince's fiancée, and it feels like Adry-sama has unrequited feelings, doesn't it?"
"Well, I'm not sure..."
Adey-sama's actions are a bit like a boy teasing a girl he likes, but it also looks like he’s just looking out for a bothersome little sister. It's difficult to judge.
"Oh my, you are discussing something quite interesting."
Ruby, who had been dozing off on Mariel-chan's lap, perked up and stood up, moving his ears.
"Ruby?"
"It seems like Allie is a bit upset with Adry because of what happened earlier. How about we play matchmaker between them?"
Ruby winked as if he had come up with a brilliant idea.
"Eh...? It might be better not to.."
"Why not?”
Ruby seemed dissatisfied when I showed hesitation, but dealing with a tsundere type like Alicia, who seems to get upset easily, might not go well if people try to mediate. Especially since they are childhood friends, if it's a minor quarrel, it might be better to let them reconcile at their own pace.
I explained to Ruby that intervening might not be the best idea, and he reluctantly agreed.
Phew.
"Well then, how about subtly probing Allie about it? Since you have reconciled, it's a good opportunity for a girls-only' gathering!"
"Eh!"
"A girls-only gathering?! Wow, that sounds great!"
Mariel-chan enthusiastically supported Ruby's suggestion.
A girls-only gathering?! He probably heard that from Mariel-chan, right?
… But seriously, a girls-only gathering?!
"... Are you going to join that girls-only gathering, Ruby?"
"Of course."
"I-I see…”
… A girls-only gathering?!
