“Ah~ I’m so glad~.”

Lafne, preparing dinner, was humming a tune and appeared to be in a good mood.

Delicious smells wafted through the tower room.

Normally, that aroma would make my heart flutter in excitement, but today I couldn’t enjoy it like usual.

“But Ziegfried-senpai is amazing, isn’t he?”

“Uh, uh-huh…”

Lafne had also taken the exam.

Of course, she took it in the tower, but it was conducted properly under the supervision of the professors who visited for the exam.@@novelbin@@

When she looked at her ranking, Lafne emitted a dark aura for a moment, but upon seeing who was in first place, that emotion settled.

It seemed she felt relieved that it wasn’t a girl.

“I originally wanted to be first so I could have Ken’s wish ticket…”

Delicious dishes were laid out on the dining table.

The dinner menu was filled with delightful foods every day, but it seemed there were even more options today.

“It’s unfortunate, but it can’t be helped! Hehe.”

Lafne smiled cheerfully.

Perhaps it was better for Ziegfried to win than for anyone else.

Thanks to that, she seemed to be in a good mood, but…

“By the way… what if someone other than Ziegfried-senpai came in first… haha, what would happen?”

I casually asked, curious as if we were just chatting.

If someone else won first place, it meant they would win the wish ticket.

And if they asked me out on a date, that would be the scenario.

—Cackling…

For some reason, a dark aura that felt like it shouldn’t be coming from me began to radiate from Lafne.

…Huh? The Demon King?

“Hmm… But I can’t make things difficult for Ken. I would have taken care of it, right?”

“Take care of it?! What do you mean by that?!”

She smiled beautifully with a frightening expression.

And she didn’t answer.

‘…It’s probably better not to talk about Mary either….’
