Capítulo 134: Chapter 132
On a fine morning, Sirin woke up as usual by Bella shaking her body as she groaned and dragging her blanket to protect her body.
"Five more minutes…"
"My Queen, it's almost 8AM."
It took a while for Sirin to register what Bella had said.
"8?" She asked groggily and her sleepy brain tried to recall if she had anything important to do today but found none before she dozed off again.
Bella didn't wake Sirin up the second time and instead let Sirin sleep in for today. Instead, Bella left the room on her own and made her way to the kitchen to ask for breakfast since the rest probably already had theirs at 7 AM.
"Oh, Bella. Good Morning." Kuroka in the living room saw Bella pass by and greeted her.
Bella stopped and immediately bowed her head. "Good morning too, Mother." She is acting very respectful to Kuroka because she is her Queen's mother after all. Then she continues walking down the hallway.
When she approaches the kitchen, Bella pauses and her superior hearing, overheard some chatter inside the kitchen and the voice belongs to the Fallen trio.
"So, are we really going to do it, Raynare?" The nervous sounding Mittelt asked.
"Of course, until when are we going to spend our time as background characters that the Author keeps forgetting about? Even if we fail, at least we tried. Better than spending the rest of eternity as mere maids forever. If we succeed, we could become the mistress of the most powerful being in this world and enjoy some privileges." Raynare declared her foolproof plan as she refused to stay at the bottom forever. "We must act fast before Sakuya and Grayfia steal the opportunity."
"So, we are going to strike tonight?" Kalawarna asked.
"Yes. Tonight is our chance." Raynare replied.
Bella sighed at her Queen's bad luck since she was going to wear her green hat a little longer because she had the bad luck of being young. At least it's not one of her siblings. Although lately, Dark Sakura had been up to some suspicious activities.
After hearing to the end of the conversation, Bella walked into the kitchen and saw the trio is on their morning break, having their breakfast while they talk while Sakuya normally is out on errands.
"M-Miss Bella…? Ah, is it your breakfast?" Raynare panicked a little, thinking Bella might had overheard their plans but Bella acted like she didn't hear anything which made her feel a little relieved and immediately figure out the reason she is here as usual.
"Yes, also another portion for My Queen. She slept in and missed her breakfast again." Bella said casually that none of the three bat an eye since it is a common occurrence considering Sirin is a chronic gamer.
Raynare and Kalawarna went over to heat up food for Bella and Sirin's portion while Mittelt went to prepare the plates and a tray to carry them. The three worked very smoothly as if ingrained in their flesh.
After five minutes, everything is prepared and handed over to Bella who teleports them directly into her Queen's room instead of carrying them before she leaves.
Around the same time Bella left, Grayfia returned and their Master, Ray was in his child form, adored by Grayfia as she carried him in her arms.
Ray looks a little upset from the look on his expression. Perhaps his little outing wasn't fruitful. Nothing uncommon as Ray often wore his child form for mischievous deeds often to ease his boredom.
The trio set their glares at Grayfia, their direct competitor for the position of his mistress considering she already earned plenty of favorability from him since she served him willingly at start compared to them which was spared from death and no different than prisoners without freedom to even leave the mansion freely compared to Sakuya and Grayfia.
"Welcome back, Master." The three quickly bow and greet him.
"Hmn." Ray scans his scrutinizing eyes over the trio, prying all their secrets with his gaze alone as his invisible tendrils worm into their brains.
The experience wasn't pleasant or comfortable. But the three bear it with their teeth gritted.
After he gets what he needed, he simply smirks and retracts his ability before his body morphed into his Black Cat form and jumps off from the sad Grayfia's arms, her enjoyment being cut short.
After all, how could they hide their thoughts from him? But from his reaction, he didn't discourage them either. Which means their gamble is a win. However, Grayfia isn't blind either even if she is infatuated by his charm. She could sense something fishy about Ray's action to the three and she eyed them warily before raising her tone and telling them to get to work instead of smiling at each other.

"So, you want to enroll her into a school?" Ray looked at Ryoko and asked while also glancing at Hinami who pretended not to hear and was doing her coloring book.
Ryoko looked a little worried that Ray would be against it with the way he reacted. But she nods to his question.
"I'm not against it." He said as if he read her mind. "However, I worried how she would fit in considering she isn't exactly human and making her mingle amongst humans sounds like a pain in the ass." He explains and lists down what Hinami is going to deal with if she is enrolled into a normal school. Mainly she is going to live her daily life pretending to be a human to hide her true nature and that will restrict a lot of her freedom.
Ryoko also understands Ray's worry and is happy that he would be invested in Hinami's wish.
After a bit of silence, Ray came up with an idea.
"We could enroll her into Yokai Academy. It's an academy specialized for mon— Non-Human. Perfect for her."
"Yokai Academy? Since when did Kyoto have such a place?" Kuroka who is eavesdropping on the conversation suddenly join in with her confusion as she never heard about an academy named Yokai Academy specialized for non-human.
"Of course, it didn't exist in this world. Yet. But it's nothing difficult to bring into reality." Ray turned to Kuroka and replied before looking back at the Fueguchis. "Anyway, leave it to me. I will take care of it."
Ray then left as soon as he finished talking. Seemingly a little too eager which worried Kuroka about what shenanigans he is up to this time to make him smile widely.
