The plain and unnoticed me is no more

"Ah! Yes, there were rare flowers in the greenhouse this morning, so I wanted to show them to Elaine. Let's just get out of here and go to the greenhouse!

"That's nice. But look, there's a lot of things you want to ask me...."

Next time I think I will be attacked by a question, Maria invites me to the greenhouse with a loud voice that often passes, pulls my arm and pulls me to the glass greenhouse.

"I want you to see the flowers before they die! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to have to monopolize Elaine for a while."

Maria is the star of the party, so I'm the one who's supposed to say the line.

That's why people who know Maria and I are best friends simply thought we were playing games. He waved his hand with a smile and resumed the conversation with the people nearby.

The boulder is Maria. The air that had become heavier in the apology play earlier was relieved at once by this action.

It would be convenient to show them flowers.

Sin naturally came to us, but Maria stopped Sin at the greenhouse entrance.

"Excuse me, can I have a moment with Miss Elaine?

"But...."

Sin looks at me bewildered.

Maria is a trustworthy man, but now there are a lot of people gathered and I don't know what's going to happen. A few of the invitees had a little black moya on them, and I don't suppose they'd have gone too far to be alert.

"Maria, he won't leave me. That's what I promised Grandpa."

"... I see. Here you go."

Maria reluctantly invited Singh into the greenhouse.

Are you going to tell me something I don't want people to hear?

Then two maids came from nowhere and stood in front of the greenhouse entrance. Looks like it was decided from the beginning to bring me to the greenhouse.

Going deeper into the greenhouse, a fairy ball of light passed in front of her. There are as many fairies flying around as ever. I came here a few months ago, but I felt a strange feeling of nostalgia after all that time.

"Ah... speaking of which, Kevin helped me take care of the inn's plants. Thank you, Maria. I was going to thank you for coming to see me."

"Yeah, I'm glad I could help. I promised I'd go, but I'm sorry I couldn't go to your hotel."

"Never mind. I kind of figured it out."

Maria lowered her eyebrows and laughed. That alone tells us what happened to her.

I knew you were being watched.

"Who is that, Elaine? I was surprised because I thought oniisama was here."

After Maria said that, she said to me in my ear, "... what happened to the tall man who came with me?" whispered. I don't understand the meaning of the word and tilt my neck.

The gentleman who came here with me...? So, you mean Singh?

"Maria, he's Sin from that time. Oniisama is busy investigating, so I asked him."

"... well, I'm sorry. I thought it was a civilian... maybe a relative of Alford's?

"Why? Don't you think he's disguised as a nobleman?

Thin is wearing a wig, and if he knew the original, he'd think it was a disguise.

Maria looked strange.

"No, I don't. I hadn't noticed it before, but I have royalty. But it feels like a knight."

"Don't look so hard....."

Sin looks at his palm and mutters.

Maria really looks at the details. They've been trying to figure out who Singh is for a short time.

"... Sin came to this country alone, whether standing or not, hearing Elaine despise her fiancée."

"What about it?"

Maria's eyes are sparkling.

He's delusional about me and Singh again. When I met him before, he said that I might have run off with Singh when my engagement was abandoned. What delusions are inflating this time?

Sin was stunned by the paranoid story that suddenly started and said, "What?" but Maria's story continued.

"I have prepared a place to breathe in the inn in Shitamachi so that Elaine, who is heartbroken, can be distracted. Now that Elaine has left the house, both of you are running the lodging under cover of identity... and living unfamiliar civilian lives would be happier with each other. Oh, nice!

Maria rolled up with a slightly excited look at me and Singh.

"Maria, what kind of scenario is that?

"That's an amazing imagination."

When Sin and I said that in a dazed mood, Maria started explaining with her arms braced.

"Oh, so I'll tell you why Elaine has been here so far?

"Yes, but...."

"If you're a little more dramatic, it'll spread in an instant."

"But I want to keep the lodging in Shitamachi a secret. If a lot of people come to the store because they are poorly searched out, it will annoy other customers."

In fact, the aristocrats are also going through with patience, but it's no problem because they will protect the manners properly.

The younger generation is in danger. Even Evan came to the store on the nobility's feet, causing trouble to other customers. It's also some kind of business disruption.

"That's also true... So how do we talk about it?"

"Maria, Singh is Alford's great-grandmother's great-grandchild. I've known the Duke of Norris for a long time."

"Well, that's new. I thought I knew everything about Elaine. I'm sure it was Artemi, right? So you mean the grandson who evacuated with you?

"That's the place. That's why I want to take care of him at his house that I'm dating. It's enough for you to know that you're living a peaceful and fulfilling life now."

"... okay. I'll tell you that."

"Thank you, thank you."

After that, Maria asked Sin about me as if she had become my sister, asking her how I lived in the inn.

But Maria, who had no face, tended to confuse herself with the truth.

"... I know I'm happy now. But you're not going back to school? I've snowed out the stigma, and everybody's waiting for you to come back. Don't you want to graduate properly?

I never thought about going back to school.

"Don't say that. I transferred to school with a friend after you left school. I am now attending the same school as His Highness Wilfred. I've been talking to you, so if you're willing to do that, you can get in right away."

Pretty ready, huh?

I'm sorry, but I don't need my education to already run an independent accommodation.

And the day I first met Chiyo, the memory of my predecessors, who had a higher level of education than the world, was vividly revived by eating rice balls. School classes have been boring since then, and have only disappeared in a social setting.

When I refused, Maria blocked my words with a serious face.

"Um, Mari...."

"To tell the truth! This is what Lord Wilfred asked me to do. Yesterday, I was asked to persuade Elaine to return to her old life on this occasion...."

"Eh... why would His Highness Wilfred?

When I met you at home, I told you I was living happily now. Your Highness was satisfied with that, wasn't he? Is that why you wanted to meet and talk to me later?

"That's right. You think it's strange that I should have ignored you when you were engaged to Lord Frederick?

"Hmm...."

"I told Elaine I was happier now. Still, for some time after you disappeared, His Highness was looking for you in some monastery. I thought that you were responsible for what your brother did. But it's different...."

Maria was wondering if she should tell me or not, and repeatedly opened her lips and closed them.

"What's the difference?

"I was surprised to hear from my father this morning. They were engaged for a few days when they were young."
