He was sitting gymnastically on the bed in his room.

'I didn't mean to break it either. I didn't mean to break it, but Luxion said it was in danger if I didn't break it, and if Gregg had told me he was going to die in front of me, anyone would have pulled the trigger. Anyone who doesn't pull the trigger isn't human. But people would look at me and go, "Oh no! Isn't it terrible that Danielle and Raymond don't pull the trigger?

　Looking at me mumbling in front of Luxion are my parents and my second brother who will be participating in today's medal awarding ceremony...and my second daughter, who has just been unceremoniously united with the Viscount.

　The second daughter's cat-eared resident slave bastard--Mior is waiting outside the room.

　Because we still have guests.

　Angier was dumbfounded.

'It's been like this since yesterday. ''Sorry, Baron, I'm sorry. I could have gotten him to change into his formal wear.

　There's also Livia, who looks apologetic.

''Leon-san, a lot of people blamed me for yesterday's duel.

　The only person who didn't blame me was my mentor. He was the strongest gentleman who said kind words to me, "There must have been a reason for it".

　........I can't stop crying.

''Ahh, I'm crying out. Look, Rion-kun, put a towel over your eyes to make your formal wear dirty.

　Senior Clarice doesn't know why she's here.

　The reason seems to have something to do with the Atlee family. I was telling him the reason, but at the time I was letting go and not listening.

　My dad looks at me and is dumbfounded.

　He was wearing a formal dress that didn't match his bearded face. It's kind of an overzealous outfit.

"You know what you are.......can't you just be a little more prudent today!

　My mom was the same way. She wore a dress that she wouldn't normally wear.

'Yes, I do. 'Yes, I'm going to get a medal. It's not the star of the day.'

　What are you talking about?　In the first place, today's ceremony is to give out a medal like the 'Good work de chapter' to the students who participated in that battle.

　Since it's held at the school, there's no need to get so worked up about it.

　I mean, why are their parents here?

　As I looked at him curiously, my second brother let out a tired sigh.

''You, could it be that you weren't listening to me?''

　I nod and Angel glares at me. It's quite scary.

''Hou........you didn't listen to everything I explained to you yesterday, even though I explained it all to you?

　When Angier was angry, Livia covered for me.

　Libya, I'm going to give you an awesome necklace. It's already yours.

"Wait. You're hurting yourself, Leon. I should have defeated him in a duel, but I was defeated by his highness and his friends. And, um ... please forgive him!

　When Livia said that, Angier would explain to me again with a troubled look on his face.

'This time, the biggest credit goes to Leon.

'What?　Chris, right?

'Kris certainly fought off the Black Knight, but it was Leon who captured His Highness Hertrude. He captured the enemy's new airship and armor. He also did a great deal of work in dedicating them. You have also done much to help students and sailors. All in all, you and Chris are in a different league. I have a real medal to give you.

　Livia looks happy.

'I did a single plane run to save Angel!　The dukes praised him for being a knight among knights indeed!

　...What, that one?　Does that count as an achievement?　Eh, but in a game, it's all about the number of enemies you kill and that sort of thing... what?　Wait a minute!

　I couldn't believe my ears at Clarice senior's words.

''I was recommending a promotion before in the Atlee family, but I'm also using this as an opportunity to approve it. Besides, Chris, your parents also recommended me for the promotion. The Field family, and the Seberg family also wrote a recommendation for you, Leon.

　....?　A letter of recommendation?　What? Why?　That's the house that hated me, right?

　As I froze, Livia told me with a smile.

'That's great, Leon!　Rion-san, what a [Fourth Rank], from today, you're a [Fourth Rank], [Viscount]. Rumors about Leon-san are spreading in the royal capital, and he's being treated like a hero.

　...I wasn't sure what Libya was saying. My head refused to understand.

　Shh, Viscount?　Heroes?　That's not right. It's impossible!　It should not be!

　The second daughter was small in the corner of the room. She must have been depressed when she heard that she was a viscount. She must be remembering the Viscount who couldn't marry her. Because she's spilling her bitterness.

　Now let's look at such a second daughter and calm down a bit. That's right, if you calm down, you should be able to handle most things.

'What? I said I'd marry you, but you refused to marry me or my best friend. "No, no, I don't think so."

　In fact, I knew the senior member of the Viscount's family that my second daughter had turned up the heat on and I was acquainted with him. The place where I sold off the air bandits as slaves was the house of the person my second daughter and her best friend were willing to marry.

　I asked a lot of questions, but I found out that my second daughter and her best friend were just having a great time, but there was someone else.

　I smiled and told him not to worry about the second daughter.

　I sold my slave for a service price, but that was in lieu of a nuisance fee. I apologized for being a really horrible sister and apologized for being a really horrible sister, I'm sure I'm a made up brother.

　And it seems that the second daughter has made up with her best friend.

　When she was angry with the viscount and complained to him, she made up with him.

　........Who said that female friendships are fleeting?　I'm more solidly tied to it!

　I lay back down on the bed.

'This is a dream. I wake up and I'm in a new school year, and I'm complaining to Daniel and Raymond about how hard it is to get married. I'm going to be mentored by a master to master the art of tea, I'm going to take on a dungeon to buy a new tea set, and I'm going to help a simple but kind and big boobed girl in need and fall in love with her. You spend three years in relative safety, marry those tits, and go back to your hometown. Soak in the hot springs, enjoy Japanese food and live happily ever after. Viscount?　You have the wrong person.

　When my second daughter saw me talking about my dripping desires, she stuck her tongue out at me.

'Men are really no good. What do you think women are?　It sucks.

　My second brother is also terrible.

'You're married to your tits at the end.

　He's a terrible father.

'It's your ass that counts, right?　A round ass like my mom's-- Hidebu!

You!

　My mom slapped my dad when he was about to say something terrible. Good, do more.

　Clarice senior shows interest.

'Oh, you have a spa?　Nice.

　Angier glared at such a senior.

''What do you mean by that?''

　Senior Clarice, who was giving Angier such a generous look.

'Do you mind?　I won't tell you.

　I thought it was kind of cute, but I looked away as Angel's glare was half-hearted.

　More importantly, it's a rather large room, but it feels small with so many people in it. If possible, I'd like to get away from the ceremony as it is, so would everyone please leave?

　Livia wakes me up, a little angry.

'Rion-san, the ceremony is about to begin, so let's get going!　Come on, wake up.

　Angier compliments me in a dumbfounded way.

''I didn't expect you to rise through the ranks by this means. The fact that you let those three people do the credit and then rise through the ranks in the shortest amount of time is really amazing. I've never heard of having a letter of recommendation written to a house that was hostile to you. Your father and your brother both praised Rion.

　.... this is not right!

◇

　The first day of winter break.

　A grand ceremony was held at the school.

　The baron and other young students were awarded medals for their efforts in the battle against the duchy.

　Many of the boys were knighted, and many of the girls would receive a small pension for their medals.

　The fact that the pensions were not paid to the boys was a testament to the harshness of this world.

　Then Leon Fow Baldfalt was raised to the rank of Viscount.

　He rose to the fourth rank below the rank and achieved a great promotion.

　Only Leon was the only one in the history of the kingdom who was able to rise so high in a short period of time.

　On this day, Rion would be engraved in the history of the kingdom.

◇

　Winter break.

　I was looking up at my new mansion when I came home to my parents.

　It's nice to be in the country. It's as if everything that happens in the city is a lie. Yes, it's a gentle place that welcomes me gently when it's real.

'It's a big mansion.'

　My dad was very happy as he shyly boasted to me.

The number of guests has increased. I've been working hard because I want to greet them with a proper house. It's thanks to you.

　He had a lot of money, so he sent some money to his parents, and they rebuilt the mansion with it.

　Well, what a mansion it used to be, what a mansion it was....yeah. Let's just say it was quaint.

　My second brother had a complicated look on his face when he heard that he had his own room.

'I wish they'd built it a little sooner. I'm sure I won't be coming back as much after I graduate. But thank you.

　My second daughter has had her own room for some time now.

　So has my third daughter.

　That's why there are so many orders and no words of thanks or appreciation.

'Hey, where's Mior's room?'

　My dad was in trouble. He didn't expect his second daughter to ask for a room for her resident servant.

''What?　You don't have a full-time servant.　We do have a guest room, though, so I guess we can stay there next time.

　The second daughter is angry.

'Mior stayed at the school because there was no room anyway!　If you'd told me ahead of time, I could have brought him in!　I mean, you should at least have a room dedicated to Mior.

No, no, I just thought I'd surprise you.

You should be more careful. More importantly, did you go through my room without permission?

　My dad was blamed by his second daughter.

　Mum covered for him.

I've cleaned up your room. I've taken care of your room.

No!　I don't know why I let you touch me!　If you want to rebuild the house, just call me!　I could have sent Leon to pick you up and drop you off!

　I spit.

　My second brother takes it out on me.

"Don't be stupid. Let it go, it'll get messy.

Can I punch him in the face?

'I know how you feel, but hold it down. See, I'm just upset about being rejected by a boy.

　What a feel-good story. When I confessed to the guy from above that I would marry him, he said, "No thanks, I already have a partner. I mean, who? What a refusal my second daughter was. You made me laugh, so I'll close my eyes to the rudeness this time.

　

　We watched the second daughter pruriently and angrily walk into the mansion, and we put our hands on the depressed father's shoulders to praise the mansion.

　I came back and took a look at the estate for the first time in a long time, and it's developing a lot.

　If this is the case, in two years' time, it will be a fine baronial family.

◇

　-- Greg woke up a day after the duel.

　When he opened his eyes in the infirmary, Julius and the others gathered around him.

'Greg!　Hey, get a grip!

　When Brad called out to him, Greg guessed the outcome by being in the infirmary.

'Well guys, I'm sorry. I lost it because of me.

　Zilk was smiling at Greg as he said this.

'I left it up to you, Greg. If that's how he lost, then we all lost. We misjudged his strength.

　Even the armor worked on by a man who claimed to be a master craftsman was no good. In truth, he was a fraud, but the five of them didn't realize that he was a fraud.

　As if they were all depressed, Julius says to Greg.

'Don't be discouraged. There's always next time.

Your Highness?

Call me Julius. Greg we're going to take on Baldfalt again. We need your help too.

　Greg raised his upper body and gave a small laugh.

''Well I'm not going to be the only one to back down when everyone else is willing to do it. I'll help you as often as I can, Julius!

　Chris took off his glasses and wiped away a tear.

　He was trying to be a cool character.

　Greg looked around.

'No Marie?'

　Brad shrugs.

'Yeah, he's been busy with stuff. I know you and Kyle have been talking about something. Speaking of--

　Brad remembers what Marie asked him, and he checks with Greg.

'Greg, didn't you see the head of the bandit that Baldfalt defeated in the slaying of the air bandits before?'

Oh, there you are.

'Did you see that Baldfalt got the necklace from the armour of the Air Pirate Head?　I wasn't watching. I was suffering from an injury and couldn't afford it. But I did hear that he got something. And he seemed pretty happy about it.

　Greg recalls.

　'At that time, Rion was taking something out of the air bandit's armor.

'I don't know if it was a necklace or what, but I'm pretty sure Baldfalt said something about it. It looked like he didn't want the other guy to take it too... but what about it?

　Brad shook his head.

'No, Marie asked me about it. I asked her the name of the air pirate she had defeated and she looked very serious. I was a little curious.

　Greg puts a hand to his chin.

"A necklace.....you know, you showed me the bracelet before.

　Chris nodded.

'Yeah, they found it in the dungeon in King's Landing. I wouldn't want him to be too reckless.'

　Julius had heard the soles and agreed with them. He feared for Marie's safety.

'Yes.'

　Zirk was thinking about it for a bit.

　Julius noticed it.

'What's up?'

'No, I heard that Miss Marie had been attending the Temple recently. I was wondering what you were up to.

　The five of them finished their unanswered questions, and now they were excited to talk about giving Marie something as a gift.

◇

　It was Zola, my father's rightful wife, who rode into the mansion, which was newly built.

　Zola rode in with a very strong attitude, and with her was the great priest of the temple. The man was a woman, a plump woman with round glasses.

　She seemed to be very familiar with Zola.

'You infidel!　Give back the treasure of the temple!

　And when I called out to him, he suddenly called me a thief.

'Huh?　Treasure of the Temple?

　I had just returned from working in the fields, wondering what I was talking about, and I was removing the mud from my shoes.

　The priest saw my attitude and said something like, "What a smell! She must be a city girl.

　I'm at the stage of being intimate with Zola, and I can tell her personality.

　The priest clears his throat.

''Viscount Baldfalt, you have defeated the air bandits before, haven't you?

　Armed temple knights are stationed outside the mansion, and both my father and mother are quite wary of them.

　The second and third daughters did not come out of the house.

　The second brother had gone to another field and was not here.

''Ah, you defeated them. What is it?　If you were an air pirate, I would have sold you into slavery.

　The priest turns red in the face and yells at me.

'Those air bandits have taken the treasures of the temple with them!　There has to be!　A necklace with the temple's coat of arms engraved on it!　The air pirate who had it in his possession has also testified that you took it from him!

　...should I have kept my mouth shut?

　No, it's more than that.

"How can you call me a thief for that?　Whoever defeated the air bandits has the right to get the treasure they had. This is the law of the kingdom.

　You say it like it's my fault, but it's a granted right. It wasn't my fault.

　The priests are furious at my argument.

'If it had the temple's coat of arms engraved on it, then it's only fair to donate it!

　What is this rhetoric?

　Because what's normal for you and common sense is insane to me.

　I wanted to turn him away, but I was unarmed now. In contrast, on that side, in addition to the armed knights, I could see an airship in the distance.

　Luxion sent me a transmission.

''Master, I'm sorry, but I think we should give up here.''

　If you ask why, Luxion replies.

''It's easy to get out of this situation. However, I thought that the status of a master in society would be in serious trouble. It's as if he's bringing a force on the scale of attacking and destroying the territory.''

　The temple also possesses the strength of the battlefield, but they've raked in a lot of money.

　I listened to Luxion while ignoring the noisy priests.

''It is not wise to set things up with the forces of the temple. It's an organization that recognizes Olivia as a saint, right?''

　........Religion is a pain in the ass. It's certainly not a good idea to antagonize them.

　I thought about getting you a fake necklace, but....

I thought it would be too easy to spot a replica.

　I resisted the urge to cluck my tongue and glared at Zola. It annoyed me that she was smiling triumphantly.

'I'll get it for you anyway, so stay there.

　Then the priest says to me.

"I hear the viscount has amassed a lot of wealth. I suggest you donate your wealth to the temple.

　Zora concurred with the priest who said it from above.

'Yes. You wouldn't be able to defy the Temple either.'

　It's just that Luxion--'

''You may refuse to accept that one. Apparently, the matter of the treasure has nothing to do with the organization. I'm assuming that this is a personal decision.

　If you wondered how they had found out about their plans, they had looked into how the temple's war power was being gathered.

　According to the knights in the temple, the diabolical knights were raked in because they possessed the treasure of the temple. I'm afraid of me, who beat up the dukedom, and I'm starting to feel sorry for them in reverse, like they've raked up their strength.

　More than that........diabolical?　Who's a villain.

No. And I'm not of the same faith.

　When I showed them the amulet I carried around my neck, they both blushed and said something.

　It's a good luck charm I bought on a school trip. It didn't have any deep meaning, but I said it to stir things up.

　As it is, I join Luxion and take the necklace to the two of them - but not to the temple officials at the port with the necklace.

◇

　The one in the port was a nervous-looking forty-something knight.

　He may have heard the rumors about my rapid rise in popularity, but he seems severely alarmed.

''Are you in charge?''

"Yes, sir. I'll be leading this fleet. Viscount Baldfalt, I don't want to do anything rough if possible. Could you please return the treasure in the temple?

　Why didn't you just say this from the beginning?

　I showed him the necklace and the general looked at me and immediately called the appraiser. When the appraiser checked the necklace, he shook his head violently.

''Well, there's no doubt about it. It's just as the lore says!

　The general trembled when he heard this.

''This, this is the lost treasure!

　If it's so important, I want it in the Temple.

　I'm going to tell the general.

''More importantly, take the people who came to the mansion and bring them back. I'm in a bit of a bind because I've been told that you'll attack me if I don't produce more treasures than the one you want.

　The general was surprised to be told that.

'Ko, I beg your pardon for this!　We are only here to pick up the necklace. We'll take you home soon.

　He didn't really mean to fight.

　Luxion is so convenient. I didn't have to fight unnecessarily.

　But still, if the treasure has been handed over to the temple, should I collect the dungeon bracelet as soon as possible?

　The General was relieved.

'And yet it's not what they say it is.

"Rumor?

'I had heard that you were unreasonable. I suppose I can't blame the saint for being angry, but she's calmer than I've heard rumors about.

　...What did you say?

Wait a minute. The saint?

Oh.

　The officials around me put their hands over their faces at the information that the general had leaked out of relief.

　I question them.

'Did you find the saintly lady?'

　If it was Libya - or so I thought. But the name that came out of the general's mouth was too surprising. It couldn't be. It was impossible.

'I believe I'm acquainted with you, sir [Marie-Feu Laffan]. He came to the temple in King's Landing with the missing bracelet as well as the necklace.

　Hearing that name made me impatient.

　Why would that guy get a bracelet?　If it's just in their hands, it's still good. If it's in Libya's hands, there's no consequence to it.

　It's just ... it's just that there's no way he's calling himself a saint.

　She's a reincarnated person.

　I can't forgive him for playing nice and getting the five of us into trouble, but I understand. But there's no way he's going to call himself a saint.

　

　Because in the end, it's not the saint's power that will be needed, but Libya's own power.

'Marie is a saint?'

''Yes. As a wielder of holy healing magic, his skills were already superior to those of the Priests' Hall. The wand also reacted to Lady Marie's reaction.

　As the general spoke up to that point, a nearby official made him close his mouth.

I'm sorry, sir. Well then, we are going to deliver this to you. The Priest's Hall will send someone out here to take you back.''

　I watched them leave, until I couldn't see them anymore.

　Then I immediately contact Luxion.

'What's wrong?'

Marie became a saint. I'll never forgive that b*tc*...

◇

　The duke's estate.

　In one of the mansions there, Angier and Livia were in one of the mansions.

　Angier sees Livia on her horse.

'Here, don't be afraid,'

It's expensive. This is more expensive than I thought it would be!

I wouldn't say it's this high.

　Winter break.

　Angel invited Livia to the mansion and taught her to ride indoors.

When you are a sophomore, there will be these kinds of practical tests in addition to the academic ones. Get used to it while you still can.

　A wobbly and shaky Libya has no problems with her academics, but other than that - she has problems with her manners and so on.

　He wants to do something about it, so Angier is coaching Libya.

　The two of them were actually wondering if they should go to Rion's parents' house, but they refrained from doing so because of Rion's busy schedule of setting up the factory and so on.

'Look, your posture is falling apart.

　As I was teaching Libby to ride while watching her get scared, it was starting to snow outside indoors.

(Early this year.)

　Since it's cold, I thought about going out to Leon's territory to take a hot spring or something, but since she's my daughter before she's married, I weighed myself as a bad idea.

(However, if your brother is thinking of taking her in, will he take a bride from the duke's relatives?　(Who would that be?)

　It's who Leon is married to, but the options are expanding here.

　If he was a baron, then a baron, and above that, a daughter of a viscount would be his marriage partner.

　But if he was a viscount, then the bottom would be a baron, and the top would be up to an earl.

　

　As expected, their rank was not balanced with the dukes, but the possibility of marrying the daughter of an earl was born.

　At the same time, from now on, she would be in a position to be wooed by many girls. The number of people, a third of the entire school's students, were watching Leon's activities.

　Who had dispatched the Black Knight - even if they hadn't seen the battle, they could see it with a little thought.

(Chris's guy was not happy about it. Not many students would have seen it firsthand but I can guess from Chris' demeanor.)

　And here's what was important.

　Leon's title was Viscount. The rank is fourth inferior in rank........a large airship called Paltner and an armor that repelled a black knight called Aroganz. What would the girls who saw these up close and personal, or heard rumors about them, think?

　Angier's head is starting to hurt.

(Is Clarice on target?)　I don't understand that thing sometimes. (Maybe I'm just teasing you.......maybe I should ask your father?)

　Feeling strangely bewildered, Angel shakes his head.

　Then Livia cries and asks Angier for help.

'Angel my legs are going to go out.

Oh, you ... you're not getting enough exercise, are you?

　Livia is originally an indoor person, but since she came to the school, she has had fewer opportunities to exercise by helping out at home like her parents did.

　As a result, her physical strength has declined.

It's not good. If this is the case, it will be difficult to complete the dungeon before graduation.

"Conquering a dungeon?　Oh, um, don't dungeons disappear when you conquer them, so aren't you not allowed to conquer the dungeons in King's Landing?

　Angier was explaining as he dismounted Libya from his horse.

'When I say attack, I mean the thirty underground floors. If you get to that point, you'll be considered a full-fledged man. On the other hand, if you don't get there, you'll always be half a man. Well, in the worst case scenario, you'll have to hire an escort. But if you don't have the stamina, you'll have a hard time getting there and back. Conquering dungeons is also a requirement for graduation.

　Unless there was a special reason, the dungeon attack was mandatory.

　Livia's shoulders slumped when she heard the soles.

''.......but I'll do my best.

　Angier hugs a trembling Livia and chuckles.

'You're shivering. By the way, you're warm in Libya.'

Angie, don't hold me so tight.

　Watching over them as they flirted were the maids who were guarding and protecting them.

◇

　A guest room in the temple.

　Marie draped her arms over the back of the sofa, crossed her legs and looked at the low table.

'Huh, I've finally got it.

　Having obtained the necklace, Marie took it and placed it around her own neck.

　The bracelet that shines on your left wrist is a holy bracelet.

　The necklace that adorns her neck is a holy necklace.

　And the holy woman's staff propped up nearby.

　Those are definitely a reaction to Marie.

''I took the place of the hero-sama, but it doesn't matter if I'm a saint in the first place. Because I'm good at healing magic too.

　Marie's knowledge of the game certainly comes from the game.

'Even in the event movie, it was okay if the saintly lady prayed for it - and I'll take care of whatever happens on your behalf. So, you'll have to hand it all over to me, Olivia, who didn't have any good things happen to her in her previous life.

　As a reincarnated person, Marie's knowledge is - mainly movies and images of events. And then there was only halfway through the game, the strategy information on the internet.

　In any case, the game was so difficult that I threw it away halfway through.

　The one who cleared the game was "the man who was Marie's brother" in a previous life.

"It was a lot of work, though. I had to hire an adventurer to help me retrieve the bracelet, and I had to convince the people in the temple to join me.

　And one more thing.

That man........could he possibly know something?

　In the first place, Marie didn't know the name of the family Baltfart.

　She had only made it to the middle of the game.

　She knew there would be things she didn't know.

'They weren't in the event, and are they really a mob?　Wait, maybe he could be like me..........................it's possible.

　Furious, Marie was thinking about how to get revenge on him.

But, but - now I'm in a better position than you. The same reincarnation, the other side seems to have risen to the top, but now I can aspire to the position of queen. You're right. I have to get Julius back to the crown prince and become the queen.　A luxurious life in the city of my dreams awaits me!

　Rion and Marie are terribly similar.

　However, their aims were different.

　While Lion wanted to live an ordinary life in the countryside, Marier wanted to live a luxurious life in the royal capital.

'I'll put a beautiful man on the samurai's side and give him a luxurious life every day. He had a hard time in his previous life, so he should be allowed to do this much. The protagonist is a perfect match for that mob. Huh?　If that's the case, is it better to leave it at that?　No, no. My stomach bug won't go away.

　Marie recalls a past life.

'My past life was really hard for me. I got a job in a night shop, and I got popular, but I got stuck with a guy who was no good... oh, how unhappy I was.

　The experience of working in a night shop came into play.

　A past life that honed the means of caging boys in vain.

　The fact that Marie was able to cajole five men was more than just her appearance, it was the experience of her previous life.

　Marie stands up and smiles.

''I, in this world, I'll be happy!
