"It seems you were not informed, but… the territory management of the Baron family was not going well. At this rate, within several years the Baron family would go bankrupt… and this mansion would also have been seized."
"Ha…?"
She was blank.
Such talk was the first she had heard.
Was what Rigel was saying fact?
Or a lie…?
She could not judge.
"However, the Goussel Marquis family can buy this mansion! I put in a word and bought it for a price above market value!! I, Rigel von Goussel, the heir of the Marquis family, did!"
"Eh…? M-Marquis family…?"
Rigel continued.
He was floating a very evil smile.
At such Rigel's smile, she felt terror.
And… her instinct rang an alarm.
(Th-this guy…!)
She was convinced.
That this was not a lie.
Rigel was plotting something.
"Please don't be so wary. Aren't senpai and I close!"
"W-what is the purpose!?"
