Chapter 270 – Flags

000

When Cleon opened the front door and went inside, a commotion was already wafting from inside.

Sasha’s or Quon’s boisterous voice, or Lyla’s exclamation.

For some reason, I felt a little uneasy at the sound of Riomes’ voice.

“…Papa.”

And it was Lilim who quietly came out to the front door to greet Cleon.

Maybe, I didn’t like the fact that other people were preoccupied with something in the living room.

She stood alone in the hallway and looked at him quietly, then noticed Cleon’s appearance of her and immediately approached him.

Regarding Lilim, who called himself father, Cleon himself was a little worried about what to do.

However, there was no way she could say anything harsh about the girl who put her hands around her waist and hugged her.

He quietly stroked her hair.

He had little memory of his parents, but somehow he felt like this might be the right thing to do.

“What are other people doing in the living room?”

“…Wears a pearl necklace around the pig’s neck.”

In response to Lilim’s answer, Cleon was silent for a moment.

In her case her, she seemed unconscious to be vitriol, so she thought she needed an education and moved her steps into the living room.

Then – there.

Standing there was Beatrix wearing a bright platinum dress and wearing makeup that she had never been seen before.

In her ears her, she was wearing silver earrings imbued with the aura of magical protection, and her makeup made her overall impression brighter.

“Ah, Cleon! Look, Bea is so pretty, right?”

For some reason, Layla is proud, showing off her with her smile with her.

Certainly, it was the first time I had seen her wearing a dress that was not the usual school uniform or the uniform of the Executive Division.

As if it was not a lie that noble blood flowed, she exuded the aura of a dignified and chaste woman.

Because she was wearing a dress that revealed the lines of her body her, rather than a flamboyant outfit, her huge chest her right below the cuon was more noticeable.

However, I don’t know if it was Layla’s intention to her or her own her, but the fact that she had almost no exposure was as per her image of her.

“Yes. It’s really beautiful.”

So, Cleon nodded her head and put pure sentiment into her mouth her.

It was n’t an exaggeration or a dark expression, it was his sincere feelings of her.

Lyla gave her thumbs up with a big smile, as if she thought Cleon would respond that way.

Actually, Beatrix, the person in charge, blushed as if embarrassed and hung her head, not knowing what to do.

“I’m sure it will attract the attention of many men gathered around me. The instructor needs to protect and escort me. I’m used to it because I’ve been to that party several times. Isn’t Bea like that? “

And for some reason, Riomes with a proud face, as if she herself was proud of Beatrix, said that.

“Of course. Leave it to me… But then, who will escort Riomes?”

“Ah. That’s what I plan to ask my father.”

“Is that so, father…?”

After saying that, Cleon shut her mouth for a moment, then asked her back as if surprised.

“…Riomes’ father…?”

What images came to Cleon’s mind, but it was clear that the imaginations of almost everyone there were not too different from Cleon’s.

“…Isn’t that a dangerous person?”

Lila cautiously questions Rio Mess, who sighs and shakes his head.

“Really, what do you think my father is he? He’s a small country with an equal alliance with the kingdom?”

“I’ve become more and more like a dangerous person…”

Riomes may have been trying to restore her trust in her father her, but her remarks her rather revealed her father’s extraordinary nature her.

“Riomes is a member of the royal family, right? Then, Riomes’s father is the leader of his homeland his… Is he a king?”

“That’s right. People call me ‘King of Beauty’.”

“The Beauty King…?”

When Cleon questions her at her uncommon title her, Riomes speaks while rubbing her hand under her chin.

“Yes. He has a long, beautiful beard.”

“…How to say, I don’t even know.”

The more I listened to her explanation her, the more strange the image of her father her, the ‘King of Beauty’, grew.

“…Well, I wonder if I can feel a little relieved when I think about Demis.”

When Cleon says that, Layla shakes her head in disbelief.

“That’s right. I resemble her mother her, and Demis resembles her her father her. You can think of her as having a similar personality to Demis.”

“As expected. Then it’s safe.”

Although, his words and actions of her are tinged with the sex department, and although there may have been some strange expressions, Demis is one of the few friends of the same sex to Cleon, or a person who feels like a younger brother.

If Eustes hadn’t turned into a woman, Eustes would have been in that position too.

“And, my father said he really wanted to see instructor Cleon.”

In an instant, the air froze.

Silky, it wasn’t because of the anxiety coming from uncertain information about the King of Beauty, but all the women around her were like that.

Say hello to your parents? Up until now, the only woman in her party who had achieved that was Aruru.

Of course, in the case of the original party member, Sasha and Laila, both of her parents are dead, or we don’t know who they are.

Quon remembers that she had previously told her mother that she wanted to introduce her to Cleon, and she looks nervous.

“… Did you tell him anything about me?”

And, Cleon must have felt the burden of her remarks her for another reason.

That would be the case, Cleon and Riomes were in a physical relationship.

Moreover, although it was necessary, it was not part of education as a sex department, but for private and public reasons.

What did she say on the way, did she say that from now on she would mingle only with herself (Cleon)?

“Yes, of course! It was Demis who brought up the story first. Demis seemed to have become a fan of the instructor. He said that he was a righteous man who saved the academy and contributed to improving awareness of the sex department.. .”

“Ah, okay. For now, it’s just a matter of saying hello, right?”

Cleon stopped her words abruptly, feeling the growing pressure from her words her.

After hearing Cleon’s words, Riomes nods her head.

“What happens after that will be decided by my father. However, there is no need to be so afraid. Not really, my father isn’t the kind of person who would be so angry at the fact that I and Cleon mixed up. .. First of all, I’m in the sex department. ?You don’t have to worry about every single one of those things, though my relationship with the professor is special to me.”

At Riomes’ encouragement, Cleon sighed cautiously, then smiled bitterly.

It may be as she said, it would not be right to have more than necessary prejudice or fear of her father because of her prejudice her against Rio Meth.

A little relieved, Cleon was about to bring up another story, but Riomes opened his mouth again.

“Ah. But she said she wanted to see her grandson’s face her soon, instructor ♡”

Once again, the air in the space froze.

001

Before heading to the royal castle, Cleon and Beatrix were spending a little awkward time alone in the living room.

Thanks to Rio Mess’s last bombshell remark, let Quon and Lila drag her to her room her.

Sasha and Lilim said they would go outside for a bit and then left the house.

Did you pay attention? Or, did he try to go out today because he couldn’t go out yesterday?

There would be room for many interpretations about that part, but the important thing would be that he was alone with Beatrix.

Like this, it reminds me of the time when the two of us struggled together at the academy.

Although, for her part of her, she shares some embarrassing memories of her.

Thanks to the hole in her soul her, she had to mix her body her with Cleon every day.

“Sir, senpai. Earlier… Thank you. For complimenting me.”

Bea also greeted Cleon with her face blushing, which she hadn’t been able to say before.

Cleon looked at the girl and smiled bitterly.

“How is your new life at the academy? Reading your letter, you seem busy in many ways.”

“Thanks to the senior, both the executive department and the academy have become new. Most of all, I’m happy to have a professor in charge…”

The reason why the previous executive department did not have a professor in charge was simple.

It was to be used as an organization directly under the Council of Elders, and as an organization that could receive the strongest influence from the Council of Elders.

For that reason, among the students who knocked on the door of the academy with academic dreams, those who were unfortunately forced into the executive department were deprived of even the opportunity to receive education at a young age.

Beatrix was always apologetic and worried, even if it was n’t her responsibility.

Still, the new professor in charge of the executive department was an unprecedented and special existence.

Calling it a blessing in disguise is exactly what it means.

Therefore, no matter how many times I thanked Cleon, I couldn’t say it all.

Saved her friend her, saved Bea’s own life her, saved her academy her, and even saved her her executive students.

So that-

“Senior… I have a story I want to tell you.”

“…? What?”

When Beatrix said that out of the blue, Cleon thought it was a little strange, but he returned it comfortably so that she would not feel a burden on her.

However, Beatrix immediately shook her head.

“J-I can’t do it here… No, it’s not impossible, but I’ll tell you after today’s party.”

A girl talking while stuttering, with her face blushing.

Even though she was Cleon, who was not very clear about her feelings for her for herself, she could tell that the story she was trying to tell had a lot to do with their relationship her when she was this outspoken.

So Cleon did not seek out her answers her here, lest she should rush her conclusions her, so that she might give her reflections a little.

“…Okay. Then, I’ll be waiting for you.”

“…Yes!”

When Cleon’s answer came back kindly, Beatrix smiled brightly.

[`When this is over, I…` People call it `flag`? Cleon.]

[Quiet, Galatea.]

After giving a bruise to his mean-spirited partner, Cleon watched as Bea stood up and sat down beside him.

And, the girl cautiously resting her head on her own shoulder.

A soft, cozy, slightly sweet scent tickled Cleon’s nose.

The pain she suffered in her academy was too great.

Falling apart from her friends her, falling out with her sister her completely, and many trials she would have avoided because of the archdemon spirit she carried within her body her.

You worked so hard, the story behind this will be happy.

No, you have to be happy.

A world where this kind girl can spread her dreams and talents with peace of mind

It was what Cleon and Lyla were trying to make together.

002

In stark contrast to Cleon’s amicable quarters, Sir Setos’s mansion seemed to be causing some noise.

The old butler, Maraud, who had been aide to Lord Sethos at this mansion and Lord Sethos for years, was having a snowball fight with a tall woman who stood in front of him and didn’t get out of the way.

The name of the woman with white hair and a maid outfit is Remilia.

He had been in the mansion for less than a month, but he was a trustworthy subordinate because he was good at work.

Seeing her blocking her own path by telling her nonsense, Meraud fired her fever.

“I don’t understand! There’s no way we can send a new maid like you to such an important position as the master’s attendant!”

However, Remilia didn’t even blink an eye at her boss’ shouts and confidently faced them.

“This is Setos-sama’s intention. It is Maraud-nim, and you probably don’t know that Setos-nim is trying to hide the youngster’s existence. To send the youngster to the party without asking Sethos.”

“That, that’s… Since the young master is also at an appropriate age, he thought it would be better for him to meet with female nobles in advance at this time-“

“That’s useless meddling. Lord Sethos has prepared all sorts of plans for you, Bocchan, and Lord Maraud intends to throw ashes into those preparations?”

When Remilia spoke through her sighs, Maraud let out a growl.

“What does an attendant like you know about his plan his!?”

“At least I know more than Maraud-sama. I’m similar to Miss Belili.”

When she heard the story of ‘Bellilly’ who was not present, Maraud frowned as if he was embarrassed.

“B-Belilli…?”

For Maraud, the maid was like a new crisis in her old age.

So far, she’s been working as House Tromeia’s butler for decades, and she’s seen countless humans.

However, she works at Lord Setos’ mansion, and the new arrival – the red-haired maid Belle Lily – is more than any human he’s ever seen… She felt dangerous.

It was also her old man’s observation of human beings, but it was caused by the subconscious aura and intimidation she exuded.

And one more thing, shocking and unbelievable.

It was that Setos condoned and trusted her existence her.

Thinking about that, even Maraud could understand that she wasn’t just a maid.

It was probably an agent to escort Setos, an aid to the Minister of Defense.

Setos conveyed to her Maraud to assume that whatever she does within her mansion her is of her own will and inclination her.

I felt like my insides were turned upside down, but the old man never showed it with a facial expression and replied, ‘I understand’ by lowering his head.

As for Remilia, who came in after him, as I said before, she was sincere and handled her work neatly, so I believed her a little bit.

No way, she thought she was the same as Belle Lily—so, she was an agent under the Ministry of Defense.

Maraud could not even open his mouth for something, and she only suppressed his anger with her with a sigh.

“Besides, Maraud’s face her is already famous among nobles, isn’t it?”

At Remilia’s words, Maraud opened his eyes again.

What she was holding in her hand was a magic tool that recorded the scene where Maraud was talking to other nobles and giving them money.

“That, how to-“

“I would have thought you, the butler, had been taking bribes by mentioning the name of the Tromeia family. But, surprisingly, they put it all in the family safe under the name of ‘special income’. Not for ‘private profit’ , Is it only for the sake of the family you serve?`

Maraud was unable to answer, and he was at a loss.

To tell the truth, the record was prepared by Belili-Ishtal.

It was to somehow stop him from getting in his way.

“…Don’t worry. The young master will surely find someone who will be a great companion.”

Remilia finished her story with that and headed to the room where Albein was waiting.

Maraud just stared at her from the back with her face pale.

And— Remilia quietly thought to herself.

`What. Whether that ‘companion’ will be male or female, no one knows.”

The way to create the perfect crystal has already been proven by Eustes.

All that remains is to reproduce.

When that is done, everything will be ready.
