Volume 5 Chapter 39 Not Very New Year-like, But Since I Have The Chance, An Otome Game-like Short Story
Some time has passed since the third term began....
Randy and Liz were drawing in art class.
You might be surprised that Randy is in art?
But since it's a school for former nobles, art and culture classes are mandatory every term at the Royal Academy.
Though there are no tests, students must attend to earn credits, so they book classes on candidate days while coordinating with their schedules.
In other words, random students gather during this time....
"What are you drawing, Liza?"
"It's a secret"
As Liz and Cecilia laugh together, the usual members are all present.
"Who would be happy to see a beast drawn by Randy?"
"Where do you see a beast? It looks like a cat to me."
Randy snorted, and Luke, looking exasperated, replied, "No, that's a stretch."
"Miss Elizabeth, say something──huh?"
Luke turned back and froze when he saw what Liz was drawing.
Noticing his gaze, Liz hurriedly tried to hide it, but it was too late.
"That... is it Randy?"
Liz evaded with "Who knows?" in response to Luke's words, but Luke was eager to see Liz's drawing...
"Luke, you're being rude."
...After being scolded by Cecilia with a dirty look in her eyes, he retreated.
However, the red hair that he caught a glimpse of was none other than Randy.
He thought about telling Randy, but he was so intent on drawing something that looked like an ugly cat that he was in full trance mode, like "Here it comes...the god of art has descended."
Luke was the only one who was nervous, so he sat down with a pout on his face and said, "What's wrong?".
He can't tease Randy, but he can't sneak a peek at Liz's paintings either.
Luke, who was bored, suddenly turned his gaze to Cecilia's picture.
There was,
"You shouldn't look at that"
Cecilia hurriedly hides, but the blonde hair she caught a glimpse of was...
Luke suddenly felt embarrassed by this fact and looked at Randy's picture again to hide it.
"Why does a cat have horns?"
"Are you stupid? No matter how you look at it, it's an ear."
"Then what's this pointy thing?"
"...Pointy?"
"How should I know?"
For now, his carefree best friend was a blessing.
"Rita, look at this!"
After returning home and having dinner and a bath, Liz was showing Rita the drawing she did in class while Rita rested in her room.
"Wow! Is that Sir Randolph from that time?"
With sparkling eyes, Rita received the drawing from Liz and smiled, saying, "It's wonderful."
That day, it was Randy who barged in to help Liz and Rita.
He crossed over Liz and showed a smile that seemed to say, "Sorry about that."
"...This will surely make lady fall in love."
Rita smirked, causing Liz's face to blush as she stammered, "Uh, no, that's not──"
The only 2 who knew that version of Randy.
Their cheerful conversation lasted well into that night.
