In a certain room, during twilight.
Basked in the red evening light from the large window, a person was sitting on a large sofa, sipping black tea elegantly.
The red evening sun reflected against the golden colored hair, making it look almost statuesque.
The expression of the person clad in the light was different from what it was a while ago, when they were entertaining the freshman it was now peaceful yet, now it's cold. But yet, the manner in which they held their teacup was somehow rather feminine.
And then, the sound of a knock reverbed through the silent room.
「– I have just now returned.」
The smiling individual was the young man who was standing at the entrance to the tea party until now. With dark brown hair and grey pupils, it was an extremely common appearance in this country.
However,
「... I have been waiting for you.」
He was supposed to be the real owner of the room, but he did a deep bow.
「It sure has been a while. Did you enjoy yourself? – Albert-sama.」
「Please just call me Al.」
Receiving the sarcastic comment, the young man simply shrugged his shoulders and calmly replied.
「While I'm in this form, 」
He spoke as he moved across the room, loosening his outdoorsy bootstraps and then sat down on the sofa with a 'thud.'
Even as he casually crossed his legs, his rough actions somehow seemed to overflow with dignity.
「Well then, Al. Did you go down into the city again? Please get it together, and stop such distasteful hobbies.」
「Is it really that distasteful?」
「Yes. Going around flashing a gold coin in the faces of poor people who are barely scraping by to watch their reaction. Other than distasteful what would you call it? 」
「You sure are harsh. I'm not just flashing it around, I'm giving it to people, if I feel like it anyway. – Ah, black tea for me too, 」
The young man lifted his hand but his request was not answered.
「Before that, please return me to my former appearance.」
The person who held Prince Albert's appearance glared at the young man and requested.
「Oops, sorry my bad, Natalia. Disguise Cancel」
Once the young man spoke, light covered over the two people and in the next instant, the ones sitting on the sofa were different people altogether. In place of the young man was the blond and beautiful Prince Albert. And then, facing him – in place of the one who had the prince's appearance until just now, was a girl with flaxen hair.
She was, Prince Albert's cousin, Natalia von Klingbeil.
「Seriously, when you said it was work as the Student Council President, you didn't tell me that I'd be forced to go to a tea party as you yourself.」
「Aw come on, don't be so mad, my cousin. At any rate, I couldn't possibly stand entertaining those little girls who buried themselves in make-up and perfume, nor the muscle-brained boys either as well.」
「I can't stand them either! 」
Being flatly shot down, the prince just smiled and tried to dodge the topic.
「The goal of the Student Council hosted tea party was to survey the freshman. For that, I properly did my duty. Before I went down into the city, I stood at the door as Al, and carefully observed each person. All 58 freshman, I figured out their name, face and roughly their personality.」
