Chapter 143 – / 143

What happened in the indoor gym quickly became a rumor and quickly spread throughout the school. Senior Agnes, the vice president of the student council and the daughter of the leader of the Imperial Knights, challenged a transfer student named Minwoo to a friendly sparring match and ended up losing.

The students’ opinions on the matter were largely divided into two. One side said that it was an appeal to the fact that the student council would not bow down in front of His Majesty the Emperor even if they were students wearing the halo, while the other interpreted that it was an attempt to test the transfer students in order to understand more specifically the relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and the transfer students.〈 Br〉

As someone who did n’t see the sparring between senior Agnes and her transfer student from the beginning, it was hard for me to make any judgments about her. However, I was looking at the expression of older sister Lucia, who was standing next to her at that time. And I saw that my sister’s expression She was never bright.

Other people might not have noticed, but I, who grew up with my older sister since I was young, could. That is not simply an expression to protect one’s dignity as the student council president, but an expression when something is not going as desired.

When regular classes were over, students returned to their dormitories or dispersed to pursue hobbies and side activities. After breaking up with Pale, I headed straight to the student council room.

All the executives except me were already gathered in the student council room. Even if we say all of them, there are only four people including me.

Originally, the student council had set a day to meet after school on a regular basis, but even though today was not one of those days, the student council met at the convocation of sister Lucia, the student council president.

The reason is… I could guess it without even having to say it.

“I’m sorry I’m late.”

“It’s okay. Come and sit down.”

As I sat down, older sister Lucia looked at Senior Agnes and Senior Sirpe once, then opened her mouth.

“I’m sorry for calling you out like this when everyone is busy. I’ll try to finish the business as simply as possible.”

Everyone nodded their heads at her sister’s words. Senior Agnes had a stiff expression on her face for some reason, and Senior Sirpe tilted her head as if she didn’t know what was going on.

“The reason I brought you all together like this is because of the matter regarding the transfer students.”

“Whoa!?”

Senior Sirpe was suddenly started by his sister’s words her her, and a thud was heard. She appears to have stuck her knee on the leg of her desk.

“What’s wrong, Sirpe?”

“Oh, no. Sorry… Ugh.”

Sister Lucia asked, looking at Sirpe senior who was crying from her pain.

“Have Sirpe ever met that transfer student?”

“Eh?”

“Looking at that reaction, it seems like it exists.”

Sirpe is not good at lying or hiding things. Because he shows it all with his facial expressions. At Sister Lucia’s words she seemed to blush and silently nodded.

“What happened?”

“No, nothing in particular… He just came to the temple… And he just talked for a bit.”

“What did you talk about?”

“That’s… Ugh… “

Senior Sirpe blushed again as if remembering what happened back then. Sister Lucia spoke in a voice that seemed slightly annoyed by her reaction.

“Did you have a secret conversation with that man too?”

“Rain, a secret? Oh, no. Nothing like that…”

“Then why are you trying to hide it?”

“Well, it’s not like that… That’s…”

Senior Sirpe, who had been stuttering for a while, lowered his head and spoke.

“Boo, I’m embarrassed…”

“..Shame?”

Sister Lucia tilted her head at the unexpected word. But her sister soon remembered something about her, she said, opening her eyes wide.

“No way… Sirpe, you too to that man…”

“Yes?”

“Uhm… It’s nothing.”

For some reason, Lucia looked at me, cleared her throat, and spoke again.

“What about Agnes? Are you still not willing to talk?”

“..I’m sorry.”

My sister’s target was moved to Senior Agnes. Senior Agnes could only bow her head and apologize. I think this is my first time seeing Senior Agnes so downcast. But still, what are you talking about?

Sister Lucia looked at Senior Agnes and Senior Sirpe alternately, then she spoke again to Senior Agnes.

“By any chance… Agnes, do you have similar reasons as Sirpe?”

“Well, that is…”

Senior Agnes thought for a moment and nodded his head slightly in agreement.

“Yes… That’s right.”

“..Okay. I’m sorry. I don’t have to say anything more.”

“I’m sorry…”

The older sister must have understood something from the two people’s answers, and she sent them away, telling them not to have any contact with the transfer student if possible.

Only me and my sister Lucia were left.

My sister thought to herself for a while, then she said to me.

“Ronius.”

“Huh?”

“How about living in the dormitory? It must be a lot more uncomfortable than living at home.”

I didn’t know why my sister brought up such a story, but I answered normally.

“Uh… It’s definitely not like that, but… It’s okay. Everyone is doing that, so I can’t be the only one complaining.”

“Yes. That’s great.”

Sister Lucia’s voice when she said that was somehow weak. I guess I could say it felt like she was thinking differently. But I quietly waited until my sister spoke again.

“Speaking of transfer students.”

“Yes.”

“They said there were no empty rooms in the dormitory.”

“…”

“Ronius.”

“Huh?”

I was embarrassed by Lucia’s next words and ended up asking a question.

…

“Share a room with a transfer student?”

“Okay.”

My sister looked sorry. It also meant that it could not be helped. Instead of saying no, I asked why.

Basically, the dormitory consists of double rooms. However, unless you are a particularly close friend, you often use it alone. This is because the seats were quite spacious.

However, as the rooms were distributed in that way, there were no more empty rooms. However, it was no longer possible to force someone who had been sharing a room alone to share it.

In the end, someone had to accept the transfer student.

“I understand the situation, but why me?”

“Don’t think too much about it.”

When I complained slightly, Lucia came up to me and pulled the collar of my school uniform top below my neck and said.

“As it is a student council, we have to set an example first… That is a superficial reason.”

“Then..?”

Sister Lucia said, looking down at her with her sharp eyes.

“I want you to keep an eye on that man.”

“…”

My eyes widened at my sister’s words her her her. It really didn’t mean to simply watch.

“Are you telling me to monitor transfer students?”

“Surveillance… Where did you learn such bloody expressions?”

Sister Lucia smiled and kissed my cheek.

“Just be normal… Be friendly. There’s nothing wrong with being friendly with your roommate.”

“…”

Although he said so, he really didn’t want me to become friends with that transfer student. I felt like I somehow knew the inner meaning.

“..Okay. I don’t know what your sister is worried about, but she said I’ll do as I’m told.”

“Thank you, Ronius.”

When I responded obediently, Lucia kissed my cheek again and patted my shoulder. I felt embarrassed and pulled away slightly.

‘Okay. It worked out anyway. Still, I had something to do with that transfer student.’

Although she could not tell her sister, she actually had a reason to approach me as a transfer student. Since this was already happening, I decided to really become friends with that transfer student.

I don’t know the exact relationship yet, but the transfer student was recommended by His Majesty the Emperor. And her father is trying to give her older sister Lucia in marriage to the Emperor’s consort, the Last Hero.

Then what can I do…

“…”

Looking at Lucia’s expression her her her, which looked somewhat lonely even as she patted my shoulder, saying that she was trustworthy, I made a promise to her. She said she would not forgive anyone who brought a shadow to her sister’s face.

…

“Indeed… Are the dormitories separated for men and women?”

Even though it was a different world, there were many places in this Imperial Magic School that somehow resembled the modern times where Minwoo originally lived. When it comes to education for nobles, it would have been common for each family to provide their own home education or hire a tutor.

But if you think about it, it was only natural. This is because it was a hero from 500 years ago who originally wanted to establish this imperial magic school.

When it comes to heroes, of course they come from the other world, not here, and when it comes to the school he was thinking of, it was natural for the culture of that world to be reflected. The hero who defeated the Demon King wanted the empire to become stronger by increasing its own ability to confront the Demon King, and it was here, the Imperial Magic School, that attempted to create a new education system.

At first, the empire did not like it, but since it was the wish of the warrior who defeated the Demon King, they reluctantly granted it. However, after actually operating it, they realized that it had a significant positive function, and from then on, the empire began operating this place in earnest, leading to the present.

Of course, Minwoo was not interested in such lengthy history.

‘Are you going to use hypnosis to set up a house in the girls’ dormitory? No, you’ll get tired of it quickly if you do it that way. This game’s concept is to lead a normal school life, so let’s just go about it normally for now.’

The housemaster guided Minwoo to a certain room. It was a fairly luxurious room for a dormitory. It was natural since it was a school for nobles, but even this was quite a luxury for Minwoo, who had lived in the school’s night room in the past.

“Over there…”

“Huh?”

Minwoo turned his head when he heard a voice coming from behind him.

“Now, please take care of me. I am Ronius, who is using this room.”

“Hoo…”

He was a male student I had previously encountered in the hallway on my way to the student council room. He is the student council secretary and the younger brother of the student council president. With his gorgeous red hair and handsome appearance, he certainly looked like his older sister his his. If we were to use the metaphor of the other world, he would be a man who could be said to be the golden spoon among golden spoons.

Minwoo held out his hand with a smile on his lips.

“Please take good care of me here, brother-in-law.”

“Huh? “What did you just say?”

“No, it’s nothing. Hehe…”

Ronius looked at Minwoo’s face with a suspicious expression, but Minwoo just smiled kindly.
