Livia was making the rounds of the school festival.

　She had planned to help out at the coffee shop, but Rion had told her to go and enjoy her help later.

　I had planned to go around by myself, but Kara was walking next to me in a line.

'Wow~ It's just as they say. I have a giant airship called Paltner.

Mr. Leon said there's more up there in terms of size.

　Kara, admiring the giant airship Paltner, said it was impossible.

'There are things that use floating islands as fortresses, yes. But pure airships. It's also the size of something you don't hear about on an airship. From what I've heard, it sounds like a very capable airship.

Really?　You know a lot about this, Kara.

Well, I checked.

　The plan was for the two of them to visit the school festival stalls and then head to the coffee shop around noon.

　Livia was going to introduce Kara there.

　That's what Kara asked for.

'Oh, it's about time,'

　When Livia said she was about to head to the coffee shop, Kara looked a little nervous.

'Are you alright, Miss Kara?'

Yeah, I'm fine.

You don't have to be nervous, Leon-san is very kind. I mean, it's a bit of a problem.

　That, by that, I mean an outlandish action.

　There are probably only a few people in the school who think of Rion as kind in the first place.

(After all, do they get nervous when dealing with Rion-san?　(Wow, I have to make a good introduction.)

　Enthusiastic Livia thought about introducing Kara well - and then stopped when she came to the front of the coffee shop.

(.........what?)

　As Libya wondered how to introduce Kara to Rion, the first obstacle awaited her.

'Mr. Leon!　It's not right. No one who follows the path of tea should bother the lady!　That's no gentleman!

''I'm sorry, Master. But I........I am!

　A male teacher - Leon's tea master.

　That teacher was preaching in front of Rion. Normally, Rion has a thick attitude, but only to this master would he be honest with him.

　When he stopped, Livia was not allowed into the coffee shop.

　Kara was also confused.

''Eh?　What?

　Inside the coffee shop.

　Master puts his hand on Leon's shoulder as he cries.

'It must have been hard for you. But you shouldn't give up there. Beyond that, the path of being a true gentleman - and the way of tea - continues.

Yes, yes, Master!

　It was a touching scene, apparently, but around them, Daniel and Raymond kept tying up and kicking the sub-humans, who seemed to be their exclusive servants.

'It's disgusting to mess with the Queen,'

"If you can't execute him, it's a private execution?　I'm going to go get the guys!

　The boys, who are usually looked down upon by their resident servants, have a strong antipathy towards the sub-race. That's why they become aggressive when they have a cause.

　

(Angier.........)

　Angier also noticed Libya standing at the entrance and turned her face down.

　Libya was trying to escape from this place, but--''

''Ah, Libya's back.

　Rion noticed and beckoned to him, so he went straight into the room awkwardly.

◇

　Now that I've cleaned up the inside of the coffee shop, I've kicked the noisy scum - and the girls and their resident servants - out, leaving Daniel and Raymond to their own devices.

　The coffee shop has taken down the sign for a break and put it on the door as closed.

　After dressing and showering and getting ready, it was time for a meeting with the Queen-sama--Mirraine.

　I'm worried that she looks a little tired.

''........Leon-kun. I'm angry.

　At the queen's words, I kneel down on the spot and put my hands on the floor as well.

''I knew it was so. 　I ... I don't care what happens to me!

　Milaine-sama was upset again at my attitude.

''Eh?　No, no. No, it's not. That's not what I'm talking about... help me Angie!

　When I saw Milaine-sama sitting next to me, asking for help from Angel, I saw that she didn't seem to be really angry with me.

　No, I knew that originally, but I got down on my knees with the intention of teasing her.

　If the queen was really angry, I would have escaped from the kingdom by now.

　However, it seems that Angier noticed me.

''........Milene-sama, you're being teased. Rion has a look on his face that shows he knows Milène-sama isn't really angry.

What?

　Milaine-sama looks at me, so I do a teh peloton.

　She gives me an extremely cold look, so it seems that she won't allow me to do it.

"You're disgusting. I'm afraid I'm missing out.

I'm sorry!

　This time, when I apologize seriously, Master asks for Milaine-sama's business. Master has prepared a cup of tea, and I feel like I've gained something.

　I was shocked when I drank it.

　--Huh!　Why do they taste so different when they are supposed to use the same tea leaves? Even the aroma is different.

　That's what master is all about.

"Your Majesty, I want to talk to you about your recent incursions...

''Well that's enough. If you say something bad, someone will tease you, so I'll be clear. Mr. Leon. I came here to complain to you. I'm not here to punish you, I'm here to make it personal.

　.........I suppose.

　For whatever reason, I beat His Highness Julius to a pulp.

　As a mother, you will want to complain about it.

　By the way, this queen, Lady Milene, is the so-called enemy in the game. As you can see from her close relationship with Ange, she's the one who would be the enemy if the protagonist were to antagonize her.

　This is a game for women, as expected. It seems that she doesn't like her mother-in-law.

　Well, if His Highness Julius likes the protagonist, he's the one in a position to say that he won't allow such a thing. He's just saying the obvious, but in a maiden game, he becomes the enemy that tears them apart.

　It's unreasonable.

　That's why Milne-sama has no choice but to acknowledge the protagonist in the end.......well, what did she come to say to me?

I'd like to ask you something.

'Good. Well I apologize first for Julius. I'm sorry for letting you go along with that boy's selfishness.

　I didn't expect it to start with an apology.

　You're the master of evil, but you're polite.

''It's hard for even a mother to understand how it could have come to this. I don't mean to say it, but the daughter of a baronet could have been his mistress. She was so plain to women in the royal court, I didn't expect her to be so obsessed with them.

　As I nodded and listened, Milaine-sama looked into my eyes.

　I felt like I was going to be sucked into her clear blue eyes.

　........This person is so beautiful.

''However, I can't agree with the content of the duel. The way they fight is too much. Don't you think you could have handled it more peacefully?

　I think I could have, but I don't want to worry about relieving the stress in the first place.

　When I glance at Livia and Angel as if I'm trying to ask for help while looking divine, they both seem to have a tenuous relationship with each other since the gym festival.

　They're looking down at each other and don't notice my eye contact.

　I reminded myself strongly to ask Luxion for help here, and I heard an electronic voice.

'Master will settle things peacefully?　It's impossible. What does this man expect from the Master?''

　...my partner is terrible.

　You useless artificial intelligence!　You should be nicer to me than that.

　However, when I was silent, Milaine-sama misunderstood me. She must have thought something by the way she looked at Livia, Angel and the others.

''Oh, could it be that?　You're so young!

　He smiles and teases me, but what did I get wrong?

　Well, let's keep quiet for your own convenience.

''You know, Leon-kun, you have a lot of enemies in the royal palace as well. There are also many people who had high hopes for Julius. Do you have a clear idea of what's to come?

Of course.

　...I'm relying on my Angépapa. In the first place, the royal palace and I don't show my face, and I'm not interested in promotion because it's good as long as I can be nonchalant.

　If you want, you can demote me.

　The people who were expecting His Highness Julius?　I'm going to let you guys know that I was blind. In fact, he's blind. You can't do that when you're abandoning Angers in favor of Marie.

　You don't deserve to be crown prince.

Yes. Yes, he's a strong boy. Do you think having a boy like you at Julius' side would have kept him from going down the wrong path?

　I'm not so sure about that.　Well, if I had been on my side, I might have kept Marie away and recommended Libya.

　I don't know. It's going to be troublesome if he's around.

''The outcome won't change even if I'm there.

Do you think so?　Well, okay. I have one more thing to do today. Let's get you to help me with that.

Another purpose?

'I've never been to the school because I married from another country, so I've never attended the school. So I'd like to have some memories of the school! Leon, you can help me, right?　I am. I was really interested in the school. All the women I knew seemed to enjoy talking about it, and I was jealous.

　A woman in her thirties who smiles at you like a prankster...you want memories of the school?

　In a previous life, I would have laughed at the old woman and told her to go f*ck herself.

　But - not now.

　I stood up and took Milene-sama's hand and held it with both hands.

''Eh?''

　You say to the astonished Lady Milene - no, you say to Miss Milene.

'Very well. You will have a great time at the school. Mr. Milene you will marry me!

　Milene's face was red and dismayed.

　It was Livia and Angier who got up from their chairs.

''Ms. Rion!　What are you talking about!

You--you--you are!　It's the queen!

　Master is also surprised by the quicksilver. Aren't I awesome for surprising my perfect gentleman mentor?

Mr. Stallion your jokes are not funny!

　I know. I know, but I want you to think about it here.

　What is your purpose in attending the academy?　Studying?　No!

　This is a damsel-in-distress school. ........with only one purpose!　It's getting married!　I mean, that's the kind of memories I want. Then what I'm doing here is courting!

　And Ms. Milene is superb when you see her as a marriage partner. A senescent woman?　That's proof that you can have a baby!　The aristocrats want an heir, and they are rather welcome to do so!　You're not a virgin?　Most of the girls in the academy are non-virgins!

　Wake up, because there is no such thing as a virgin as a fantasy creature!

　Age?　It's fine. A ladylike, pretty thirty-something is better than an undisciplined, monkey-like teenager!　I want to marry a human!

　I've learned something after going to school. It's time to stop having illusions about girls.

　If it's a school girl and Miss Milene, I wouldn't hesitate to pick Miss Milene!

　...Oh, wait. Seriously, isn't this guy perfect except for his status?

I love it!

You're troubling me. I mean, I'm a husband and a child and I'm an old woman.

I don't care. You're beautiful. I'd still love you, even if you had a family...

　I was looking at the cute little Milene's embarrassed face, her cheeks dyed and her eyes moistened, when she suddenly slapped me on the back of the head.

　Who the hell is that!　I'm gonna kick your ass!

　When I turned around at that thought, I saw His Highness Julius, who was clad in a rage.

　His disheveled suit was wide open at the chest. His hair was also disheveled.

''Ah, Your Highness.''

　As I said this, His Highness Julius raised the tray he was holding.

'You have good nerve to seduce someone's mother, Baltophart. It's a pity I can't slay you here.''

　........He was pretty seriously angry.

　Is it natural if he was hitting on his mother right in front of him?

　Miss Milene was puzzled.

'No, no, Julius. This, this is about--'

"Mother, please get your hands off of me!　Baltophalt, get the hell off of me too!

Oh, shit.

　When he didn't want to, His Highness Julius hit him.

◇

　The Coffee Shop Princess.

　There were no customers in the room now that it was time for a break.

　Marie, who had been counting wads of cash earlier, was in a good mood, but now she was hiding from the person Julius had brought in at the back of the room, separated by a curtain.

(Why is the evil master there!)

　Although not the master of evil, the queen was the one who supported the villainous daughter in the game.

　From Marier's point of view, she was naturally an enemy.

　Moreover, it was an opponent that the current Marie couldn't compete with.

　When I was hiding and looking at the situation, Kyle tugged on Marier's skirt.

''Master, I don't want to do this anymore. Girls, they say they are paying for your services and they are stroking my body. I won't help you next time.

　Marie was annoyed with her own personal servant for complaining like that.

(What are you talking about!　You guys work so hard to make ends meet and other necessary expenses!　You should help me out a bit.

　Marie is obsessed with money because Julius and his friends need to make ends meet.

　Julius hasn't been given up on, but he's been drastically reduced in sending money back to them.

　As for the other four, they have no money to send back.

'Just hang on for three days. ''Just hang in there for three days, and the rest will be easy.''

Are you sure?　I doubt it~

　Thinking she was a complaining servant, Marie looked over at Milene.

　She was sitting on the sofa, facing Julius across the low table from him.

''Mother, we can't let Baldfalt get too close. He can't be too careful.'

....

'You wouldn't know it, but he's a dirty guy anyway. He'll do anything for money. In addition, he's a coward. Confessing to your mother, the queen, is very unusual.

　Julius is explaining how Rion is no good, but Milene looks around the store, her eyes growing steeper and steeper.

　Marie turned pale.

'Hey, Julius?　I was told that you guys were serving a coffee shop?

Yes, it's a coffee shop. Marie arranged it somewhat. What do you think?　Does it suit you?

　Julius was bragging about his suit, and behind him was Jirku, dressed in the same manner and waiting behind him.

　His clothes and hair are slightly disheveled because he was getting paid for his services and entertaining the girls.

　Milene makes a terribly cold noise.

'Call that woman here. I'll question her now.'

　Julius just looks a little dumbfounded.

''Your mother is the same as the others. I can't let you meet Marie with such an attitude.''

　Marie is delighted by Julius' reply.

(Thank you Julius!)　(The quintessential my prince!)

　However, Milene swung her hand down on the low table and glared at Julius as she made a loud noise.

　Both Julius and Jirku were slightly frightened by her face.

''........Bring her in.''

No, no!　If you approve of our relationship--

What are you talking about, even to the point of a duel?　What's the meaning of this, Zilk, when you're with me!　Julius, you need to get your head out of the clouds. Didn't you just tell Leon that he's dirty with money?　Then what is this coffee shop!

　The menu list had a list of prices that didn't look like a coffee shop.

'What is this pricing?　A hundred dias with poor quality tea and sweets?　And a service charge?　What a bunch of former heirs of famous families dressed like this...

　Simply put, it was like a host club that borrowed the name of a coffee shop. However, it was highly popular with the girls in the school.

''Julius, didn't you say that Rion-kun was a coward?''

Hi, I thought you were a coward.

So how is it that you are here, after losing a duel and promising to stay away from that woman, Marie?　Which is a coward who breaks his promises with impunity!

　Zilk, who couldn't watch, interrupted.

'My queen, this is just your highness helping us--'

'How dare you make a lame excuse!　Shame on you!　What's more, it's crazy?　Julius, answer me. Is it normal for you to abandon your betrothed to choose another woman and lose your position as Dauphin?　Are you in a position to say anything to Leon?

No, no, it's just that...

Speak up!

　The sermon started and the air in the room was terrible.

　Before he knew it, Gregg had fled, having caught the mood, and Chris and Brad were away on a shopping trip.

　Marie was in the back of the room, praying and waiting for time to pass.

(What the hell, that old lady!　(On that mobster's shoulders!

◇

　I was sitting in a chair with my knees in my hands when His Highness Julius punched me in the cheek.

''Well I liked it a lot.

　When I'm frustrated, a dumbfounded Angel blames me.

'You idiot. What country has a knight who wooed his own queen?

　Yes.

　My master was already on business and wasn't here.

　The rest of us have Livia, but she's lying on her back and doesn't come into the conversation.

　However, I hear a knock on the door.

''Um~ Are you done?''

　The girl who opened the door and showed her face was a stranger.

'I'm closed for the day, my heart is broken.

'Well, um, I don't want that to happen. Olivia, could you do me a favor?

　The girls asked Livia for help.

　I'm wondering if they know each other, when Livia looks up and asks me for help.

'Well, well this is my new friend. This is Kara-san. She asked me to introduce you to Ms. Leon.

　Hearing this, Angier's eyes turned stern.

　Cara-san walked into the room, frightened by Angel's gaze.

''I'm Kara Faux Wayne. Baron, please get to know me.

　Kara?　Wayne?

　Next to me answering, "Oh, yes," Angel was glaring at Carla. But she listens in silence as Livia cringes and talks.

''Well, um, you're a student in the regular class, and I want you to go around the school festival with me.

　........is this also a cause and effect?

　I dropped the knee I was holding and then told Carla to sit down.

'May I ask why you bothered to introduce me to Libby?

　I'm puzzled if Livia has guessed that my mood is different.

　I had shed the atmosphere of a joke from earlier and was rather serious about facing Kara-san.

''Oh, do you understand?　It's a quintessential career move. It's very different from the other boys.

Thank you.

　Livia looks to Angel for help, but she quickly drops her gaze. Angel looks like he wants to say something too, but he closes his mouth and looks down.

　Livia seems to have decided to ask me for help.

''Rion-san, what on earth is going on?　There's something about the atmosphere--

　Carla shows her true colors.

'Just shut up for a minute. I have something rather important to talk about now.

　Livia is shocked by Kara's attitude.

　.........You, you know it would be a bad impression if you act like that in front of me?　Well, I guess it was my fault for expecting the girls in the school.

　But still, I was in trouble.

'Baron please save me, the Wayne family, no--please save us.

　The reason Angier was staring at Kara it was because he knew she was hanging on to me.

　I knew that too.

　

◇

　The first day of the school festival was over and I was sitting in bed in my room.

　The three of us went to the launch party with Daniel and Raymond.

　I hadn't been able to get out of the house because Livia and Angel had left so soon.

　As I was pondering, Luxion crossed in front of me.

''What ... what?''

"Cheaters are scumbags.

What's your point?

'This is actually a word from the Master. Now, and let's think back to today's action. I will ask the master who seduced the queen. Wasn't the affair the lowest of all?'

...It's not. I just couldn't get this feeling out of my system.

'You're really sticking your statements in one after another. It's so brilliant, I'm even impressed. Why don't you carry a mirror with you?'

No, because she's either with it or without it!

"The queen. With or without? No.

　The artificial intelligence, which only talks about righteousness, surely cannot understand my feelings.

I'm sure the memories of the school that the queen said she had in the first place was that of going around the school festival. When you suddenly started hitting on me I thought I had lost my mind. Oh, I'm sorry. You weren't insane to begin with, were you?''

'You're an idiot. There's no reason for the academy to exist except for marriage. If you want memories, that means you want a seduction.

'That's only for boys. The academy is a place to study.

Really?　I've never heard of that before!

'That's good to hear. Good luck with your studies from now on.

I'm sorry. There's no escaping your marriage.

'You didn't give up on your marriage?　You're not giving up, are you?'

He's an indefatigable fighter who won't give up even when people don't like him.

　I would give up if I could, but no matter how strong I am, public opinion follows me. It's tricky because this isn't just about me. It's not just me, but my family will be laughed at. It's tough. My parents, my second brother and my brother I didn't want them to laugh at me or get in trouble because of me.

　Others?　Who was there?

That's one way to put it.

　Luxion and I were carrying on a silly conversation, but he suddenly cut to the chase.

"Master, is it true that the girl is going to help the Wayne family?

　I looked up at the ceiling.

"After the school festival, we'll have the holidays. I'll be there to help.

The master has no reason to help you.

　I don't think I have either.

　But I was formally asked to do so.

　It was also in the form of Libya's introduction. It's deceitful in the way it's done, but as it turns out, it's a world where people don't see it that way.

　It's the same as when Libya first greeted Angel. It's the same way that Wayne-san met with me through Libya.

　It's not a formal request, it's just a student-to-student relationship.

　I know I can poke and prod, and I don't want to help someone who's playing this trick on me.

　I don't want to help them, but.......there are reasons why I have to help them.

　Exterminating air bandits is like a nobleman's job, but there are other reasons that I can't ignore.

''A territory that is being tormented by air bandits, huh? Shouldn't we ask the royal palace rather than the master?''

Yes. The royal palace is the right person to cry to.

"You think I have to participate for gaming reasons?

'In order for the protagonist to demonstrate her abilities as a saint, she needs three items. Two of them you will have to collect them yourself. One of them is in the possession of the sky bandits, so you'll have to exterminate them to retrieve them.

　One is the 【Holy Armoire】 hidden in the dungeon in the royal capital.

　And the air bandit that Wayne-san asked me to defeat is holding a 【Holy Necklace】.

　The last staff is the 【Holy Woman's Staff】 administered by the largest religion in the country - the Temple.

　Since this is a female-dominated society, the gods are also based on goddesses.

　The temple recognizes the main character as a saint.

　In order to do so, these two items that would raise the level of their abilities were necessary.



　The air bandit event, which is originally the midway point of the game, was supposed to happen in the second year.

　In order to defeat the air bandits who appeared in the territory or rather the airspace of a certain count family, the main character had to ask for the help of Julius Highnesses and others.

　By the way, this place is a big fork in the road, and the route is fixed depending on who is willing to help you.

''Can't we rely on the kingdom's regular army?　'The Wayne family may have been quasi-barons, but their parishioner was supposed to be an earl?'

'Oh, there's a lot going on with that. It's actually Brad's ex-fiancee's family home.

From what I've seen, you seem to be a decent guy.

No, I think it's rubbish.

　That's not the case at all.

　It's a rubbish that even I'd don't like, as if this was an aberration so far.

　It's a house that is an upstart, and it's a house that wants Brad's brand of fame - and it's the county family that invited the empty-nesters in.

　This is a milestone in the war that takes place at the end of the book.

　They are doing a bad thing by hanging out with the bandits.

''........Are you sure?　Olivia was something of a friend to Wayne, wasn't she?'

I think I'm gonna be okay.

　The bad guy who approached the protagonist was Kara.

　.........it seemed awful to tell her that, so I couldn't tell her.

　I think it's okay for Libya to be strong because she's strong but she's the protagonist.

''.........Master is putting the game's interests ahead of his own. I don't think there's much practical benefit in that area.''

''If His Highness Julius and the others can't be relied upon, then I'll have to collect them. We can't afford to go to war like this.

　Yes, I'm really in trouble.

　If Libya doesn't become a saint, even I, who possesses Luxion I will have no choice but to flee the continent.

　This is not a matter of winning or not winning.

"Why, Wayne why did the Countess send their master to defeat them?

It's a trap, it's a trap. I'm telling you, it's a trap. It's a trap. I've never met him, but he was so much trash in the game that I laughed.

　Brad's close to the heroes or whatever, and he's luring them out to slay the sky pirates because he's angry. I didn't think I'd get the chance to talk to him.

''Master, at this rate, it will mean that Olivia's opponent is Master?''

Me?　There isn't one. Because it's a mob.

　At my words, Luxion only said, 'I see.

◇'

　There was a knock at Livia's room.

'Yes,'

　Livia, who was depressed in her room, opened the door to find Kara - and the two girls behind her.

'Do you have a minute?'

　Livia only waddled over to a smiling Kara.

'Er, uh...'

As a matter of fact, we want you to join us in the fight against air pirates. I heard you're a high achiever in the senior class. You could at least help us out.

Oh, um ... I need to talk to you about today!

　Kara tapped hard on the edge of the door.

　The girls behind her giggled as Livia was silenced by the sound.

'You'll help me, won't you?　Because we're - we're friends."

　Carla's smile caused Livia to turn over and cry.

　Kara's emphatic words of friend didn't sound like they were meant to be.

　Livia realized that she had been tricked, but that made her feel even sadder and more miserable. Libya was vulnerable to these kinds of malicious intentions just because Rion and Angier were nearby.

　The two girls behind her were laughing at that.

''I cried.''

You just need to scare a few commoners and they'll listen to you.

　Kara moves away from the door.

'See you later,'

　The three of them leave, mocking Libya as they leave. Livia closed the door and sat there with her head in her hands.

''Well Mr. Rion, I ... what should I do?''

　Crying Livia - if there was an advantage to her for getting close to Leon, it was that she was protected under his protection.

　The disadvantage is - the opportunity to grow up strong when she should have been, was almost deprived of the opportunity to grow up strong because she was protected by Rion.

　Threatened halfway by a nobleman in a stronger position than she was, Libya was also forced to participate in the extermination of air bandits.
