“No.”
Carol immediately responded, and Mel paused for a moment, then smiled and said, “No.”
I wondered how she could see through my lack of love sensors.
I didn’t miss Mel’s momentary agitation.
…but I couldn’t imagine Mel falling in love. I guess unexpected people fall in love in unexpected places.
After learning that Finn-sama was in love, it no longer surprised me when anyone found love.
“I had always been devoted to Alicia-sama.”
Carol’s words did not seem false.

“Who’s Mel’s favorite person?”
“Oh, hey, Aliali, did you not hear what I said?”
Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to get involved in other people’s love lives, but Mel was getting pretty involved in my love life too, so I didn’t mind.
I’d like to hear about Mel’s love life at least a little bit.
“I mean, Mel is the type of person who likes to fall in love.”
Gilles stared at Mel with a slightly surprised expression on his face.
Mel, who had never been asked about her love life seriously like this, said loudly, “That’s why I’ve never been in love!”.
“I don’t want Gilles, who’s never been in love, to tell me anything about love!”
Gilles’ face twitched a little at Mel’s retort.
“I don’t need a love life, you know.”
“What’s that! Love is not something you need or don’t need, it’s something you find yourself doing! It’s not a matter of logic!”
Mel was right about the nature of love.
When she kept quiet, she looked like a young maiden, but when she opened her mouth, she was just a girl with a poisonous tongue…. I didn’t realize that she was maidenly as well.
“I’m the type of person who doesn’t want my life to be dictated by love.”
“How can you say that when you’re being pushed around by Alicia! I mean, don’t talk to me like I’m a child who’s never been in a relationship.”
“I’m not in love with Alicia. Have you ever been in a relationship, Mel?”
“Yes, that’s why I’m having a hard time…!”
Mel’s voice echoed through the room. A few seconds later, Mel put her hand over her mouth and said, “Ah.”
Gilles’ smiled and said, “See, I knew you have experience”.

“…Alicia, maybe this is your chance to make a Villainess impression on Mel’s love life.”
I raised an eyebrow at Gilles as he turned his gaze toward me.
“You want me to be a cupid of love?”
That’s so far from being a Villainess, right? Mel was closer to being a Cupid.
“Well, it’s close to that, but not quite. Besides, anything can be attributed to being a Villainess, depending on how you look at it.”
“What exactly do you mean?”
“Hey! Don’t use my love for fun!”
Gilles smiled deviously at Mel as he stood up.
“…Alicia is Villainess, she uses people’s love for fun.”
I couldn’t believe Gilles made a worse expression than mine… Gilles was not to be underestimated.
