My older sister is a villainous rich girl.

Chris returned to her room, frowning as she pondered the scene she had just witnessed.

Wayne seems to have a very close relationship with Gollie Edgeworth, could it be...?

Putting aside the conflict between herself and Ge Li, just imagining the possibility that one day her father might become in-laws with Finance Minister Franz makes her feel like the sky is falling.

While it would be a good thing in some ways if Wayne didn't fall in love with her as he did in the original story due to the butterfly effect—at least she felt much less pressure and guilt—it doesn't mean she wants to see Wayne step into the Edgeworth family's pit.

You should know that Ge Li has always liked Prince Richard since he was a child!

Hmm... maybe I'm overthinking it. We were just chatting, so it's too early to draw conclusions.

"Lady Chris, how is Lord Wayne?" Eve, the second servant in the crafts department, asked worriedly.

Chris shook her head and said, "It's nothing, he's just interested in the violin and wants to join the orchestra."

"How could this be!" Molly, the number one henchman, reacted even more strongly than Chris. "That person must have used some underhanded methods! Lady Chris, let's storm the orchestra and snatch your brother back!"

"Hmph." Chris smiled slyly, pulling out a form from her hand: "Don't worry, I've already planned this."

Eve deciphered the handwriting, suddenly understanding, and exclaimed, "As expected of Lady Chris!"

Standing on the other side, Molly asked blankly, "What's this?"

"Wayne's application to join the club," Chris said arrogantly. "With that, I can easily schedule all the activities of the craft club and the orchestral club to conflict. That way, even if Wayne joins the orchestral club, that 'poultry' can't do anything to him."

As if imagining the incompetent rage of Gary Edgeworth in the future, Chris put her hands on her hips, covered her lips with one hand, and laughed like a rooster crowing, "Oh ho ho ho—".

She has the characteristics of the original owner of a villainous heiress, and looks extremely arrogant and smug.

"But why didn't Lord Wayne come back with you?" Eve asked, puzzled.

Chris's voice stopped abruptly.

Yeah, why didn't they come back together?

When the three arrived at the orchestra room a short while later, it was already deserted.

"Huh—what's this?"

Eve, with her sharp eyes, noticed a folded piece of paper lying on the edge of the table. Out of curiosity, she picked it up, unfolded it, and took a peek.

"Ah!" she exclaimed.

"What did you find?"

"Lady Chris! Come and see!" Eve's cheeks flushed with excitement. "This is...this is..."

What's all the fuss about?

Chris casually took the paper and glanced at it, her eyes immediately widening to the point of bursting, and her fingers trembling uncontrollably as she held the paper.

"This...this could be...Wayne's..."

"love letter!?--"

……

Because Wayne wanted to experience the everyday life of ordinary people, Ge Li's carriage only took them to the main road of the inner city, and then left after agreeing to pick them up in three hours.

Although they were supposed to be with other lovely girls, in the end, only one of Kareem's personal maids accompanied them. She was a woman in her early twenties who followed quietly behind the two of them.

"If you're going to buy a gift, hurry up and do it," Goth Edgeworth said with a look of disdain.

"Got it." Wayne put his hand into his pocket.

However, he stopped moving.

Where is my paper?

Where did that huge piece of paper go?

He emptied his pockets and found only money, his student ID, and a pen.

"What are you doing?" Ge Li asked, frowning.

"Maybe I lost something... Oh well, it's okay."

It was just a piece of scrap paper that I tore off at random. Whether I wrote down the few points on it or not wouldn't really make a big difference. I just drew a few strokes out of boredom.

The elementary school students always get out of school very early. At this time, the sun had not yet set, and the market was bustling with activity.

"The night market here is famous, especially during major festivals. The people of the capital light torches or lanterns, feast and play music, and make merry all night long."

Upon arriving at the bustling market, Goli, who had been disdainful just moments before, suddenly became enthusiastic, striding forward and leading Wayne into a rather large gift shop.

The way he navigates the area so skillfully shows he's a regular customer.

"So, what kind of gift do you want to buy?" Ge Li asked.

"Girls generally like it."

"Jewelry?"

"..." Wayne was speechless, "Besides jewelry, don't you like anything else?"

After thinking for a long time, Ge Li asked uncertainly, "Your Highness Prince Richard?"

Okay, you win.

Seeing Wayne turn away speechlessly to choose a gift, Ge Li's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile.

It's quite fun to tease these little kids.

But her smile quickly faded.

Unfortunately, he's Chris's brother.

Looking back and forth between a large brown bear plush toy on the display stand and a fluffy dog ​​pillow on the other side, Wayne was really having a hard time choosing.

Chris once said she wanted to have a dog, so she must like dogs, right?

But this puppy pillow is small, ugly, and the fabric is very rough.

Choosing a brown bear gives you a size advantage, even though they're both ugly.

Touching the fabric of both, he found them to be roughly the same quality, and Wayne frowned, clearly dissatisfied.

"Young master, what kind of gift would you like?" A shop assistant noticed that the two children were wearing Qingxi Academy uniforms and immediately perked up.

The children who study there are all from wealthy and noble families, and cannot be neglected.

"Don't you have any dolls made of better materials?" Wayne asked, pointing to the gifts on the display stand. "At least, they should be a grade better than the fabric of my school uniform."

"Uh...the materials used to make these dolls are already the best in our shop..."

The person behind him sneered, "What do you think school uniforms are? If you want to buy new ones, you'll have to pay 5 gram pounds per uniform."

"Hiss—" Wayne was shocked.

He had read in a book that the average rich farmer's living expenses were only 5 gram pounds a year, and a fine riding horse cost only 10 gram pounds.

That means at least two changes of uniforms cost the price of a high-class riding horse, which is simply unbelievable.

"Does this clothing have any special functions?"

To be honest, the uniform's materials and workmanship are indeed quite good, and it's comfortable to wear, but it's not particularly outstanding. Wayne doesn't think it's worth the exorbitant price.

"Special function? The Seiki Academy school emblem printed on it is the biggest special function," Kareem said meaningfully.

...I understand.

It might not have been worth that much originally, but with the endorsement of "Qingxi Academy", it suddenly has a much higher added value than before.

That's outrageous, truly outrageous; they're making money off students.

No wonder the students at the academy consider wearing uniforms an important thing, and even use them as tools for bullying.
