11 Problems

Dahlia has just got announced by the teacher that there is going to be a test incoming, so Dahlia is currently heading to the library to study.

But on her way to the library, Dahlia can hear people talking bad about Dahlia.

...Dahlia is sad, but she's gotten used to it.

Dahlia has arrived at the library room.

When she enters it, Dahlia sees a familiar face.

Ah.

It's the guy that'd defeated big sister in yesterday duel.

He's reading some kind of books, and seems to have notice me.

"Oh. Dahlia. Good morning."

He waves at me.

He doesn't seem like a bad person, even though he'd almost killed Dahlia's sister, so Dahlia decides to sit near him.

She needs to take a book that's related to the upcoming test first.

-----------------

"So how's your sister?"

Dahlia is now currently sitting opposite of me.

I feel a bit awkward right now since I'm the one that hurt Mari.

"She's fine. But after that fight, she's become more determined to defeat you."

"Ahaha..."

I can only laugh in shame.

I clearly overdid it in that fight.

But I'm glad she's ok.

"Are you currently studying for test, too?"

"Yes. But there are a few problems that Dahlia doesn't understand."

"Where? Let me see."

The only thing I can do to apologize to Mari is to help her sister.

I hope she would forgive me.

A few minutes later, library's door opens again and appears a familiar face.

You guess it.

Mari Marigold.

Why do I keep seeing her again and again?

"So you are here, Dahlia. Have you seen my... Why are you here, Yaritsuke?!"

For the last three days, she has been deliberately avoiding me whenever we met.

"And why are you near my sister?!"

"Hey, listen here. I came here first, and she's the one decided to sit near me."

She turns her head to Dahlia as if asking "Is it true?"

Dahlia just nods.

"...What are you doing anyway?"

"Busy studying for test. But you seem free."

Mari suddenly smiles.

"Listen here Yaritsuke! You may have defeated me in a magic fight, but that just you being lucky! This time I'll defeat you in this upcoming test as I'll be the one on the top!"

"After that fight, she's been acting strange."

Dahlia whispers to me.

"...Yeah. I can see that."

"And you, my sister, will be second."

"As you say."

...I feel bad for her.

After they left the room, another problem arise.

"Yaariitsuukee!!"

Incoming demon girl.

"Master, shall I help you with your study today?"

And the orange hair guy.

"Kyahh!! It's Lilithos-sama!!"

And a bunch of fangirls.

The reason why things turn into this is...

------------------------------

The winner of the duel was Lilith.

She defeated Hiiro in just mere seconds.

And somehow after his defeat, he suddenly begged to become Lilith's discipline.

She declined, but he kept pestering.

And the girls were somehow charmed by Lilith, and she became the hot stuff at school.

------------------------------

This is her problem.

She caused this all on her own.

I have no responsibility to deal with her antics.

My days in peace is now officially gone.

This has been going on for two days already.

And of course, because of her, I got kicked out of the library.

"Hiiro! Stop it please! Fine! I'll become your master! But stop following me!"

"Yes!!!"

Hiiro runs away in joy.

And for the fangirls...

"Lilithos-sama, have you got a girlfriend?"

"Lilithos-sama, Do you have anyone you like?"

I guess I should step in. This is starting to annoy me, too.

She walks backward slowly, before tripping backward.

This clumsy girl...!

I reach out my hand and manage to catch her, my hand grab onto her waist so as not to let her fall.

Our eyes barely meet, and then her face turns red.

"Kyah!! So Lilithos-sama is already claimed by Yaritsuke!"

"W-Wait!!" Lilith reaches her hand out to the girls, now gone.

She turns her head at me, then pushes me away, pouting.

Hey. What did I do?

I just helped you from falling!

Then she just runs away.

I seriously can't understand her at all.
