TN: Give me a few more hours for the next one please.
In the light blue dress just like in the game, with tiara that gave off sense of refinement. Usually, her expression was full with flustered smile and busy movement, but now her innocent cuteness was replaced with dignified beauty that fit her more.
You could feel the aura of nobility, as one expected from a royal, so it couldn’t be helped when the hall went noisy.
“That country bumpkin is actually a princess,” was the only fact that was known, but all the student body could only think of Alicia when they think about a country girl. It was hard for the students to turnover the image of her running around and laughing cheerfully with this majestic person who gave the hall a once-over glance from the stage.
In fact, Addie was also staring at the stage while being stunned despite knowing it in advance.
“…A, Alicichan is pretty.”
“Yes. For a dull person, this is quite a good change.”
“It’s more than a quite, it’s splendid. The way she walks and bow, both are so elegant, as if…”
Pausing, Addie turned to look at Mary.
Even in this noisy situation, she kept her calm and sitting quietly in her seat, listening to Alicia’s speech.
Her expression was somehow tortured, but still with some satisfaction…
“As if… as if she were you, My Lady.”
“My, please stop with the joke. Don’t compare me with such bumpkin, will you.”
Addie could only shrug and sighed as Mary laughed lightly.
Even though it was the premise before being denounced, her pride was still high as ever. Additionally, she even said, “She has to be able to do this much if she wants to kick me down.”
This exasperatingly twisted person, this was Mary Albert. Above all, to find this easy-to-understand heavenly genius distorted character as attractive, he himself was also twisted, so Addie chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Then Alicia, who was finished with her speech, finally called Mary’s name, “Lastly, I would like to talk about a person.”
Surprisingly, everything down to the words were the same with the game. ‘Is it maybe,’ Addie’s expression, who listened to the explanation in advance, got cloudy.
He couldn’t think that the present Alicia would denounce Mary. But, the truth was that everything went as Mary had said.
Alicia’s apperance in the middle of graduation ceremony, her dress and tiara, not only that, even the content of her speech was the same with the DoraGaku.
However, it also couldn’t be said that everything went just like the game. Originally in the game, the student council, who should look at Mary with disgust, was smiling at her before the ceremony began. That was also a fact.
There were things that are different and things that are the same with the game mixed up.. Then which one the downfall route will fell into?
Will Alicia come to embrace Mary in an irregular route, or will she go down the DoraGaku route, throwing Albert House into ruin and sent Mary to the north.
With both end undecided, Addie turned his gaze at Mary with worry.
In contrast, Mary didn’t have any change in her attitude, standing up to respond to the call, and even have time to fix her skirt before going up the stage. Her gaze that went straight to look at Alicia had no doubt, and he could only admire her undefeatable elegance.
“Mary-sama, when you heard my speech… what do you think about it? “
When they heard Alicia’s question, the hall went quiet.
Everyone glanced between Mary and Alicia, waiting for the next word. In that tense atmosphere, Mary could still raised the corner of her mouth in expectation.
This was also exasperatingly like the game.
And this question was also the helping hand that in-game Alicia offered Mary at the end.
Alicia was going to forgive Mary if she had apologized in recognition of her fault at this question. In the end, all the routes ended up with that not happening, Alicia declared Mary as the ‘bad custom’, a victim more than anyone else but that was still can be changed. It was a very merciful story.
Of course, it was not something to destroy Mary as a villainous noble daughter, but only for once, in the front of this crowd, she wanted Mary to recognize the error of her action by herself. Because her selfish and outrageous behavior was the embodiment of noble’s bad side.
Howover, in-game Mary didn’t notice Alicia’s mercy and answered her question full with dissatisfaction.
“As expected, a country bumpkin’s way of thought is laughable.”
So she said.
To that, in-game Alicia could only stare at Mary, sighed, threw all mercy and denounced her.
That’s why, even if it’s a mistake, a
“Yes! Thank you very much! “
with such happy expression was not how Alicia should reply.
“…Eh? “
“I’m thinking to do my part as the princess without losing my identity. I knew Mary-sama would understand! “
“…Wa, wait a moment.”
“To think about it this way too, all because of Mary-sama! When my status changed, Mary-sama always treat me in the same way. That’s why, I come to have some confidence in myself. The way I am is good too, I thought.”
“I, I see, that is good, congratulation… but still, wait a minute…”
“I will do my best! “
“Ee, you can do your best whatever you like…but about my part.”
“If it’s Mary-sama, I know you will push my back… I believe you will! Mary-sama, I love you! “
Patrick came on the stage to embrace Alicia’s shoulder as she happily talk and announce her love for Mary in loud voice.
The way both of their figures stood side-by-side was similar to DoraGaku scene, but Mary didn’t have the time to realize that at the moment.
She should’ve been denounced for her rude behavior toward Alicia until now, but for some reason she was receiving her gratitude. Additionally, the lovers on the stage said, “Let’s support this country together,” with warm gazes that looks as if they were looking at a comrade.
In that situation, even Mary could do nothing and feeling pressured as the crowd rose with a loud cheer, she could only returned and plopped down on her seat.
Her train of thought couldn’t keep up with the development, she couldn’t even voiced one complaint at Addie who was laughing loudly at her side.
