�Oh my! There he goes, the pure and innocent boy.�

�He must be heading to her to confess again. I�m telling you, he has some kind of illness.�

The schoolgirls whispered amongst each other, pointing to Shirone who was passing by. This was his biggest problem.

Already, a rumor had spread around the academy that Shirone had a one-sided crush on Amy. And the more that kind of rumor spread, the colder the students treated Shirone.

Shirone�s fantasy about women was completely shattered by Amy�s tenacity in resolving her resentment 6 years ago.

�Hey! Over there, your prince.�

�What do you mean �prince?� He�s just a servant.�

Amy and Sharelle were waiting for Shirone together in front of the library. The area around them was crowded with students who were curious to see the extraordinary sight.

As Shirone walked up the stairs, the schoolgirls who were watching laughed and clapped. Shirone�s face flushed like a red beet.

Sharelle smiled pitifully and said.

�But I kind of feel sorry for him. He�s going this far, why not just accept him?�

�What? What nonsense are you spouting? Why would I accept him?�

�Oh stop pretending to be shy. For someone who doesn�t glimpse at a guy, you sure do take all the bread and coffee from Shirone. There are even rumors about the goddess of Alpheas finally getting a partner.�

It was ridiculous. This was a strategy to provoke Shirone, but it seemed like things were flowing unexpectedly.

Actually, she was only thinking of keeping it going for a week. But somehow, Shirone never expressed any displeasure and had regularly brought her the food.

�Urk! At this point, I�ll end up associated with a really strange rumor. I should stop now.�

When Shirone handed Amy the bread and coffee, people cheered. They were deeply moved by him, who spent much effort not to spill a drop of coffee for the woman he loved.

�Here�s your coffee.�

�Gosh! So annoying!�

Amy raised her hand. The best way to reverse this ridiculous misunderstanding was through embarrassment.

She was going to hit his arm and spill the coffee. Then Shirone would be just like the other countless boys who had been dumped by her so far, and the strange rumor would subside.

�Who told you to bring something like this?�

As Amy swung her hand, the students� eyes grew bigger. However, the expected tragedy did not occur.

Amy�s hand trembled as she glared daggers at the coffee.

�At least act like you dislike it. Are you stupid? A fool? Do you have no guts or what?�

Unexpected guilty conscience. But that was Shirone�s strength.

His mindset went something like this.

�Isn�t it better to think positively about the things I have to do?�

And that attitude made Amy feel guilty.

�Um� Excuse me, here�s your coffee.� JrNovels.com
