"Make sure to behave on school, dear." Elayne said, waving her hand gently as Elena and Anna entered the school's building, Elisa joining them right after.

"Sure, bye~" Elena said, without anything else.

"I don't really like that title you've made up." Elena sighed. "I'm no beauty or anything, I just do what I can… I study hard, and I get good grades so mom can feel relieved, so she doesn't have to worry about another thing."

"O-Oh…" Anna felt slightly bad. "Okay, sorry… I talked a bit too much there. You're a good daughter actually."

"Certainly an excellent student, but not THAT good of a daughter, if I dare say." Laughed Elisa from behind, walking right in between the two girls. "Elena, I admire you as both a friend and a rival, but the way you treat your mother… Why are you so cold sometimes?"
