“…… Okay!”

“Are you ready? I know it’s been a while since you’ve been to the academy, but recovering, so take it easy, okay?”

“I know, brother. Are Mom and Dad going with us?”

“No, we’re coming later. You go ahead.”

“Yeah!”

–That day, after the battle with Retzel, my uniform was torn to pieces, but I sleeved up in the new uniform that Tigre-sensei had brought me when he visited me, and I was ready to go ……. That’s fine, but it was tough for me at that time …… I remember that time and feel weak.

◆   ◇   ◆

“I-I was hoping so that Lars-kun wouldn’t himself, teacher should’ve ended it completely!”

“Then you should have tried your best too!”

“I told you last time I didn’t want to be called “you”!”

“Speaking of which, this woman …… is a pain in the ass!”

“Hmph!”

◆   ◇   ◆

— In that condition, he has been arguing with Verna-sensei in the hospital room for a long time, and the headmaster thrown them out while laughing. Both of them are my teachers, and I want them to get along, but …….

“Well, it’s not every day that both of them meet.”

“What are you talking about?”

“No, it’s nothing. I’m surprised to hear that Luciela likes brother.”

“Oh, come on. I’m devoted to Nora. I feel sorry to Luciela, though.”

I don’t think brother will choose anyone else now, though. As we were talking about this, Nora was smiling and waving at me.

“Good morning! Lars-kun, so you’re starting today ……”

“Good morning. Yeah, I didn’t get any bruises or cuts, and I didn’t get any serious injuries. If anything, it was the loss of magic that was the hardest.”

“Good, good ……”

Said Nora, stepping between me and my brother and holding my hand. I was happy to see her, but I didn’t want to give Luciela the chance to take advantage of me, so I softly let go of her hand and said.

“Nora is your brother’s girlfriend, so you shouldn’t hold hands with me anymore. Honestly, I feel sorry to brother.”

“Lars ……”

“Yeah. I want the three of us to keep getting along, though.”

“When I get a girlfriend, I’m going to be with her, right?”

“Muu-“

“……”

Nola’s cheeks puffed up in disapproval, but it’s not uncommon for kids to get into trouble over this when they grow up. So, I hardened my heart and walked ahead of her. I don’t do skin-to-skin contact, but I do talk, so I was relieved when she managed to smile again by the time we got to the school. But on the other hand, I was worried about brother’s lack of facial expressions.

“Oh, you’re here, Lars. You come this way, where are your parents?”

“I’m sure they’ll be here soon.”

“I’ll see you later then.”

“I’ll be over there for lunch.”

I left my brother and Nora, and Tigre-sensei took me to the other room. I know this because I was told directly by the headmaster, not by Tigre-sensei, who was fighting with Verna-sensei.

Not long after, I stood in front of a large room labeled “Conference Room” and Tigre-sensei knocked.

“You can come in.”

“Excuse me.”

“Excuse me.”

I followed Tigre-sensei into the room, and there was…

“Hello, Lars Irving-kun. We’ve been expecting you.”

“H-His Majesty!?”

I was startled by the person who called out to me and I hurriedly bowed my head. His Majesty looked at the rector with a smile and opened his mouth.

“Hahaha, you don’t have to worry, you know? I heard that this is an area where you can’t push your power around.”

“That’s harsh. However, you’re right.”

“Yeah, right.”

As the two men were chatting freely, a familiar face approached me.

“Hello, Lars. You’re looking good, aren’t you? …… Geez, you’re such a naughty boy, trying to hunt down them down with Brao’s son alone, aren’t you? I thought you’d be a calm guy like Roen-san.”

“I’m sorry, Hauzen-san . I didn’t want to involve everyone in this, so I didn’t tell you.”

“You idiot, you’re a member of the guild, so how can I not be on your side. I’m glad you’re safe, though. But! Tell me next time, will you?”

“I’ll do that. Then even if you say you don’t want to, I’ll have you help me, okay?”

When I said that, Hauzen-san rolls his eyes and then shrugging his shoulders. Nevertheless, all the main characters from that time are here, aren’t they? While I was wondering what they were going to talk about, my dad, mom, and Verna-sensei walked in.

“I’m sorry to keep you waiting. I had to pick up Verna-sensei.”

“I’m Marianne, Lars’ mother.”

“I-I’m Verna.”

“…… Aren’t you stuttering.”

“!”

Gah!

“Ow!? What the hell?”

“Hmph!”

Hah~, they don’t get along …… like always …… Sitting between Dad and Mom, with Verna-sensei sitting next to Mom, his majesty nodded, coughed once, and began to speak.

“First of all, Lars Irving. I have to admit that I can’t praise you for what you did this time.”

“…… Yes.”

As I thought, it was about this …… Their life was targeted, so It can’t be helped. I’ll take my punishment as it comes. 

“However, he deserves credit for uncovering the conspiracy of Brao Gute and defeating the demonic doctor who lurks in the town. Therefore, I will offset the crime of putting me and the prince in danger.”

“What!? B-But, it was quite dangerous ……”

Then the king’s eyes opened widely and made a face like, “Aren’t you happy?” and quickly smiled.

“Ha-ha-ha! I’m the king, and I’m not immune to threats to my life. It’s not like I don’t work out, you know? …… This is not the only thing that can’t be questioned. The four knights I had with me were the most skilled in the order. They couldn’t do anything even if two of them attacks. You made it disappear, and there’s a chance that you would have done something even if you hadn’t tried to.”

“Y-Yeah ……”

He has a point. But is it okay? The king must have seen that I was confused, so he told me one more thing.

“And also, since Orden’s return, he’s changed his mind about studying and learning to use a sword. Lars, seeing how much you can do at the same age has lit a fire on him. It’s worth it just to motivate him when he’s been slacking off!”

The king smiled at me. It may be a pretense, but I think his majesty is a good man when he says it so that I don’t have to worry about it. Then the headmaster opened his mouth.

“His Majesty, why don’t we move on to the next topic?”

“Oh, yes. Secondly, about the lordship, of course, Brao will have to step down.”

That happening was inevitable. That’s what I wanter, after all. I’m sorry for what I did to Ryuuze …… I have to support him in whatever he wants to do. I hope that helps atone for my sins.

“The next lord was going to be elected ……, but no one in town wanted to be lord. So, Roen, would you be willing to try being a lord again?”

“……!?”

I opened my eyes in surprise. But the problem is–

“I’m very grateful …… for His Majesty to say it himself. However, we do not have the wealth to become a lord. I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to decline.”

Yes, it was a matter of money. It was too early to make a move, and I had very little money. The money I’ve earned is only about 500,000 Beryl. ……

“Fufufu ……”

“?”

After finishing listening to my dad, the guild master, Hauzen-san, stands up with a fearless smile on his face. I wonder what’s wrong?
