Explaining and introducing Alice to the two felt like I was disarming a live bomb in front of my lovers—except instead of diffusing tension, I was setting it off.
At first, their reactions were pure shock. Then came the slow nods of understanding—an expectation they had seemingly prepared themselves for. And finally, absurdity.
"So, you're telling me… Senior Alice is your third girlfriend?" Snow's voice was measured, but her blue eyes were sharp as she eyed both Alice and me.
Sitting right next to me, Alice let out a small, awkward laugh, scratching the back of her head. "Ehehe~"
I nodded. "Yes…"
Rose, arms crossed, looked between us with a deadpan expression. Then, she muttered, "First the white cat… now even the pink capybara… does that mean even the black rat???"
"…What are you talking about, Rose?" I asked, confused.
She didn't answer. Instead, she simply narrowed her golden eyes, scrutinizing Alice and me with an unreadable expression.
