Maxwell had only just stepped out of the Craft & Research Seekers clubhouse when Cherry suddenly grabbed him and pulled him down with her.
"Huh?"
Caught completely off guard, Maxwell stumbled forward before managing to steady himself.
Around them, students from different years had already lowered their heads in greeting toward the young man standing ahead.
Cherry did the same.
"Greetings to the Second Prince."
Her voice came out quickly, carrying none of the relaxed tone she had managed to use while speaking with Maxwell inside the clubhouse.
Maxwell glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
"What's going on, Cherry?"
He looked genuinely confused.
Cherry raised her eyes just enough to look at him.
"T-That's… the Second Prince."
She replied in a low voice, as though the answer alone should have explained everything.
"So?"
Maxwell's confusion only deepened.
Cherry's eyes widened slightly.
