In an instant, my gaze flew over to my bag.
No way.
But, it can't be.
"And when I got more information, those two seems to be talking in the cafeteria saying [Boss will be happy] and such."
"..."
That means, there are panties in this bag.
Moreover, ones that have not been washed.
Oh My God.
Who was the one that wanted this?
Ah, I hate the me that's slightly happy.
"Also, I heard the underwear they collected was put into a bag..."
When Ariel said that, she silently looked at the bag that I was holding.
Everybody in the room also gazed at the bag.
They probably connected the information they just heard to this bag.
They are probably quite certain that it's full of panties.
My dream of a bag filled with panties has come true.
"Rudeus-sama, pardon me, but..."
"This bag is something I had received from Rinia and Pursena this morning. I was told not to look inside it until I was alone at home, but now that you said that, the contents inside this bag is most likely what you've guessed."
I took the initiative. If I were to say it later it would be bad.
"I see, then I just want to confirm... did you order them to do this?"
"No, you're mistaken."
I answered flat-out.
Any hesitation in replying is unforgivable.
I must answer firmly.
Otherwise there'll be misunderstandings.
"So you're saying you're not involved in this."
"Correct."
In the first place, why would I hatch such a crazy plan like this?
Especially when my sister is in the dorms.
Damn it, what excuse can I give?
A way to clear this misunderstanding...
"I understand, I'll believe you."
Ariel sighed lightly as she spoke.
She believed in me.
Even though I didn't have any proof.
"Thank you very much."
"No, it's just that I thought too that this was strange. Having an intense night with Sylphy yet attacking other girls..."
