It was Noel who disembarked from the airship that had come to the royal capital from Baltfalt territory.

　She carried a brown leather travel bag and stood tall as she stood in the harbor.

'The ground is nice, isn't it?'

　The reason why Noel, who speaks of such impressions, came to King's Landing is to enter the school.

　She will be transferring into the school as a second year student this year.

　The next person to come down from the airship was Finley.

　He had a bob cut, with hair curled inward at the ends.

　She was a petite, slender, pretty girl.

“--Oh, this sucks,â€

　But the expression on her face is unhappy, ruining her charm.

　Noelle looks troubled when she turns to Finley, who is to be her sister-in-law.

'You, come on. You've been told a lot by Mr. Nix in the airship.

'I'm mad at my brother for all the things he's said to me. Why can't I buy a slave? I thought I'd have the life of my dreams when I came to the academy.

　Finley's generation is one that is going through a dramatic transition.

　The policies of the country and the academy have changed, and having a sub-race slave, a resident servant, is considered undignified.

　It's a form of dignity - or rather, it's a form that the state has thoroughly eliminated.

　If they tried to enter the school by force, they could be expelled from the school.

The custom of the kingdom is a strange one. I don't think it's a good idea to take your mistress around unreservedly.

'It's okay. That's the way it's always been.

　From the generation of Finley and the others, I have to say that I didn't want to be told off suddenly.

　Nix and Jenna were also coming down from the Baltfart family's airship.

''It's been a long time since we've been to King's Landing, hasn't it?''

　When Nix said this, Jenna, in her plain clothes, was on the verge of tears.

'The nostalgic royal city--I'm going to live here now.

　Finley clucked his tongue as he saw Jenna crying with emotion.

'What. It's not all bad because your sister's slaves are messing with your brother. It's disgusting that you got us into this too.

　Jenna argues back.

'Are you trying to tell me it's my fault?　In the first place, the system of exclusive servants didn't disappear because you messed with Leon. I'm not holding a grudge against you.

　The two sisters began to bicker with each other.

　Seeing that, Noelle could only smile bitterly.

(-- I wonder how Lelia is doing?)

　The hometown he remembers - it's going to be tough.

　Nix called out to his sisters and Noel, who were fighting.

'Let's go guys. I'm busy too, so don't give me too much trouble.

　The reason Nix came to King's Landing - it was an arranged marriage.

　Noel also walked out and walked next to Nix.

''Nix-san, when do you have an arranged marriage?''

You'll be seeing six people every day starting tomorrow. Still, I can't help it, it won't be over in a few days.

　A pile of personal papers that came rushing in.

　That's how much of a nobleman there was that wanted to be associated with the Baltfart family.

　Only Jenna looked frustrated.

''If I used Rion's biography, I could marry a rich man in the royal capital.

　Hearing this, Finley gave Jenna a generous smile.

'Why don't you give it up, sister?　Mom was angry that she would never send me out to the rest of the world. Well, I'm going to marry a rich nobleman, according to my brother's legend.

Honey, you have to go in order. I'm the one who gets married first!

It's not my decision!　I mean, if you wait for your sister, you won't get married any time soon!

What did you say?

　Nix covers her face with her hands as she looks at the fighting sisters.

'Don't fight ugly with your sisters,'

　A group of bustling Baldfart families.

　But the port was noisy and unremarkable.

　Noel turned his attention to his surroundings.

'There's a lot of people here.'

　A large number of people had gathered at the harbor in anticipation of entering the academy.

''--How are Rion and the others doing?

　Noel was looking forward to meeting Leon.

◇

　School.

　Ahead of the entrance ceremony, at a time when the student dormitory was in a hurry - there was a problem.

''Arle-chan, take care of yourself!
You should have told me if someone was picking on you.
You can come back anytime you want.

　When Noel walked into the boys' dormitory to meet with Leon, the front door was abuzz with excitement.

'What, what is this?'

　The one who seems to be leaving the boys' dormitory - it was Aaron, who looks like a girl.

　Aaron - Arle is wiping away tears.

'Thanks, guys. Keep talking to me on campus like you always have.

　A large group of boys were in tears.

　Some of them were mixed in with the staff.

　Noel had no idea what was happening.

　It was Angier who saw Noel in trouble.

　It looks like he's going to go see Leon now.

''Noel, you're already here.

'Angelica?　What is this situation?　Why are girls leaving the boys' dorms?

　Angel looked away from Noel, who didn't understand what he meant.

''-- I went from being a man to a woman. That's why they're letting him out of the boys' dormitory. I can't give you a detailed explanation. Because I don't know what it means either.

　It was an unusual thing in the Holfaat Kingdom, such as a s*x change.

　The academy also decided to move Ahle to the girls' dormitory after much difficulty.

''The kingdom is so different, isn't it?''

　Angier wanted to say something back to Noel's impressions like that, but he couldn't seem to say anything.

'Don't think that's normal. It's not, you know. But that's not what's important right now, what's important is Rion.

　Seeing the serious expression on Angel's face, Noel is worried that something has happened.

'What's going on?'

You'll know it when you see it. Come on.

　They made their way to the room that Rion was using.

　What was prepared for Rion, who has the high status of being a marquis and third-highest ranking, was a house that was almost a house near the boys' dormitory.

　What was waiting for Noel there was--.

◇

Erica!
Precious!

And Erica!
Beautiful!

As an added bonus!
"Cute!

　Inside the room, Noel looked at Leon, who was shouting at Clairvoyance.

'--What is this?'

　Angel has his right hand on his forehead.

'This is what I've been doing ever since my visit with Erica-sama.

　As Rion and Cleare were laughing high, Livia was calling out to them.

'Get a grip, Rion-san!　Luke, you should say something to him too!

　Luxion, who had been silent, reports to Leon.

Master, I have prepared a gift for you for your next meeting with Erica. I have prepared about 30 kilos of platinum bars for you.

Okay. What else?

I have a full range of products on hand for you to choose from.

Well done!

　Even Luxion, who was usually sarcastic and sarcastic, agreed with Leon.

　Livia was on the verge of tears.

'Rion-san and the others are broken,'

　Rion hurriedly followed up with Livia.

''Isn't that awful?　I'm normal.

'It's obviously not right!　Ever since I came back, I've been saying, Erica, Erica!

That's not what I'm talking about-- mmm!　Angier and Noel are here!

　Ange let out a sigh as Rion turned his gaze towards us, unable to say back.

''Rion, how many times is this your first visit?　Do you visit with Erica-sama every day?

I applied for it and got a permit. So I thought I'd bring you a souvenir.

Thirty kilos of platinum?　Are you an idiot?　How much on earth do you think it's worth?

No, but I'm sure you have a lot of business to attend to in this royal palace.

'Don't give them something that they won't like either. Luxion, you don't do that either.

'I've determined that this is necessary.

　Platinum is the metal that is the superlative of gold in this world - a metal with magical value.

　It is a rare metal with a high value of use in addition to a beautiful shine.

　It is not an item to be given as a souvenir.

　Noel calls out to Livia.

'Hey, what's going on?'

'Rion-san, I've been acting strange since I met with the princess I'm supposed to be engaged to. Arle and Luc-kun have been acting strangely.

　The story goes that he meets with Erica, who is suddenly engaged and dotes on him as if he's brainwashed.

　Noel looks at Leon.

　But the rest of him looks the same as before.

(What the hell is going on here?)

　Livia tells the rest of the story.

'Miss Marie met with the princess too - she's gone crazy.

Maricci?

　Livia looks at the window of the room.

'--I saw Rion-san do a lot of things for the princess, and she said she'd do it too. "Hey, I'm going to find some lost items for Erica!" And so I took Julius and his men on an adventure.

　Hearing this, Noel thinks.

'The kingdom is still very different, isn't it? So, when are you coming back?

　Libya said, too.

'Huh?　Come to think of it, I don't think I'll be back for the new semester, either.

　Clairvoyant approached them.

'Right. You should be back by now, or you won't be able to make it to the new semester. Could it be - you've been in distress?''

No, that's not exactly how it works.

　Noel said that with a laugh, and Leon and Angel - and Livia - were also in a cold sweat.

　Luxion says.

''Since it's about Marie and the others, it's very possible. It's time to head out to collect them.''

◇

　In the forest.

　There was Marie, wielding a machete.

'Guys, we're almost there!

　In the rugged forest. Marie was leading the way.

　It's all about giving Erica a lost item as a gift.

　Since Rion delivers gifts to Erika every day, I watched it and wondered if I could do something to help.

　I don't have the financial resources or cheats like Rion.

　Then what should I do?

　--I arrived at the answer: you can find it yourself.

　He remembered his knowledge of the game and set out on an adventure to retrieve items he could find himself.

'Marie, I hate to tell you this--but isn't this where we passed through before?

　A scarred and muddy Julius speaks for everyone's feelings.

'Huh?'

　Kyle looked out into the woods.

This is your third time through here. Master, are we--are we in distress?

''What?!''

　Kara is sitting there, out of breath.

''Marie-sama--Moreover, we don't have much food left. Besides, if we don't get back soon, the new school year will start.

...lies.

　Greg and Chris were talking to Marie when they stopped.

　In the forest, as expected of the two of them, they were not in loincloths.

'Hey, which way is the airship located?

'Huh, you think you can find out in these woods?　If I knew, I wouldn't have gotten lost.

　Brad and Zilk are also talking.

　They had maps and tools and were thinking about this forest.

"If we've been lost for three days already--is this a pretty dangerous place?

I know. I should have come prepared more carefully.

　Then Julius says to Marie.

'You are in distress. But in a situation like this we must wait for help to arrive. Fortunately, I've told Baldfalt where we are. It shouldn't be more than a month before they come for us.

　Julius and the others are the descendants of adventurers.

　They have been taught how to act in these situations, and they don't panic at this level.

　Greg and Chris start to move.

''Then I guess I'll go find some dead wood.

I'll find something I can use, too.

　Brad put the map away and pulled out a note.

'I'm going to find out what's around here.

　Zilk was unloading his pack and taking out his tools.

'So, shall I make a place for you to shelter from the wind and rain?

　Everyone was alive and kicking.

　Julius and others--

'Let's get some meat for now. We'll have it on a spit.

　I was ready to spend some time in the woods.

'Hey!　How can you be so generous!

Because--the basic rule of thumb is that you don't move in case of distress, Marie. But I don't want you to worry. We can survive in the woods!

　It's only at times like this that Julius and the others are tough.

　You guys should show more dependability on a regular basis, Marie thinks.

''Hey, wait a minute. Are we not going to be able to make it to the new semester at this rate?

Mmm!

　--Marie stands there.

(Wait a minute, that wouldn't make it to Erica's entrance ceremony!)

　Marie wanted to attend Erika's entrance ceremony, but she held her head in her hands and shouted.

'Help me brother!

　The voice is answered - the trees shake and Einhorn appears in the sky above.

　Kyle and Kara hold each other's hands and rejoice.

''The Marquis is here!

Now you're in good hands, Miss Marie!

　It certainly helped.

　But Marie crumples to the ground.

(The lost item - I couldn't retrieve it. (I can't give Erica a gift like this.)
