"So, what you mentioned earlier about beautiful girls and beautiful boys... Most likely it's just baseless rumors spread by those who love gossip."
"Oh, I see..." Elodie pursed her lips, feeling a bit down.
Just at that moment—
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock...
A very rhythmic knocking sound suddenly came from the entrance.
Aoto and Elodie both raised their gazes towards the direction of the entrance.
"Hmm? Why would someone be knocking at the door at this time... (French)" Elodie mumbled to herself in her mother tongue, while she walked back to the dining table and picked up a silver bell, shaking it heavily a few times.
Leroy appeared again in front of Aoto and Elodie.
Elodie said something to Leroy in French.
Leroy nodded, then walked quickly yet courteously through the hallway on the left side of the dining room, heading straight to the entrance.
Next, the sound of the door opening, footsteps, talking... these sounds kept pouring into Aoto's ears.
