(W-What in the world are these people... Are they really human...!?)
Sitting in a chair in the student council room, Marianne trembled uncontrollably.
The enemy of the world. She, who is supposed to be the witch and incarnation of the Demon King, was trembling in fear. From the bottom of her heart.
"Oh no... I can't believe I forgot to serve tea. How rude of me."
"Ah, I'll make it."
"I'll help too. Big sis... I mean, Melon."
"Vincent-senpai, you smell sweaty. Did something happen?"
"Can't be helped. It was sword training, training."
All the student council officers had gathered in the room.
Since then, the absent officers had returned one after another, and before she had a chance to escape, she was completely surrounded.
"Sorry. We'll get the tea ready right away, so just relax and wait."
First, the student council president and Crown Prince—Eric Seincle.
He smiled gently at the quietly trembling Marianne.
His appearance was that of a blond nobleman. Truly, he looked like a prince born of noble blue blood... but Marianne had seen it. The moment his hair suddenly turned into an afro.
Whether it was afro or straight, the way his hair moved like the tentacles of a living creature was utterly abnormal, even to Marianne, a trained magician.
"Geez... Fine. I guess I'll go take a shower."
The son of the Knight Captain—Vincent Flame.
Red-haired, tall, and with a robust, athletic build.
Even though he was sweaty, it wasn't unpleasant. On the contrary, he gave off a refreshing impression... but that sweat was from battling a mysterious creature—a raccoon (?) plushie.
"Melon, I'm getting the cups."
"Thank you, Luei-kun."
The genius musician—Luei Biscuit.
A brilliant girl who appeared to be his girlfriend—Melon Bread.
Despite the gender difference, both were short and had adorable features.
The two preparing tea together looked like a couple... but Marianne had seen it. The scene where, in a secluded place, they were doing baby play, saying things like "big sis" and "ba ba."
"Sorry, we were in a bit of a mess. Sorry you had to see that."
And then... the Prime Minister's son. A boy once called a prodigy—Will Rileis.
With glasses and an intelligent face. Sociable and gentle, he seemed the most mentally stable among the group.
But Marianne was convinced that was only how he appeared from the outside.
A person who can remain calm amidst chaos is already part of the chaos. For someone to be so composed among this group, Will must be quite the pervert.
(What incomprehensible men. So this is the academy where the Saint resides... I didn't expect to seduce them easily, but this... this is beyond anything I imagined...!)
It's like a pandemonium.
She, who was supposed to be a witch, the incarnation of the Demon King, never imagined she would be this terrified of humans.
(I underestimated them... No, could it be that humans have evolved while the Demon King was sealed? The Saint wasn't the only threat after all...!)
"Here's the tea."
"We've got sweets too. Eat as much as you like—"
"Th-Thank you..."
Tea and sweets were placed before Marianne.
Just plain tea. Just plain cookies. And yet... it felt as if she had been served a poisoned meal.
(Poison wouldn't work on me... and yet, to feel this much tension over a simple tea break...!)
"By the way... are you joining the student council?"
"Eep..."
Will smiled at her.
His glasses glinted as he gave a refreshing smile.
And yet... she felt a chill as if being stared at while completely naked.
"I'm glad. We might be getting another junior. It's not decided yet, but... if you ever have questions, feel free to ask."
'Hehehe... I'm so happy to have another toy. I'll teach you everything... from the beginning... nyaah'
"Hyu..."
She even heard a mysterious inner voice.
The cup she had tried to pick up toppled, spilling tea all over the table.
"Ah, are you okay!?"
"Hey, what are you doing!?"
"You'll get burned! We need to wipe it up—fast!"
"Go—"
Marianne stood up, her face pale, and turned on her heel.
"I'm sorry! Forget about the student council thing eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!"
"Ah..."
As the student council officers stared in shock, Marianne fled the room with all her might.
