514 – Last Semester – 2

Hehe… It was delicious. The tofu cake I eat after work.

‘Why is this delicious?’

No matter how many times I tried it, I couldn’t help but laugh because it was a reality I didn’t want to admit. I’m so pissed about this for no reason. It’s food that is trauma itself, but it tastes good for no reason.

“It’s okay. The texture is soft and the taste is delicious. It’s a food you can enjoy even if you’re not pregnant.”

It wasn’t just my impression, it was also Trixie’s impression.

That makes it even crazier. Just as I am appalled by tofu cakes, Trixie is not very friendly towards the ingredient called tofu itself. Trixie knew very well that her husband had been in tears and eating tofu after being placed on probation and detained one after another.

But even Trixie was eagerly eating the tofu cake with a nervous expression and weak hands.

I admit it, Lyutis. You gave me the best gift.

“It’s a tofu cake. It’s just a cake in name, but the cooking process seems simple. Shall we make it too?”

“Second Madam likes it, so of course I should.”

Meanwhile, the kitchen staff, including the chef, were seen whispering in the corner. Now that the mother, who has triplets, has a favorite food, it seems like she is determined to master that food as a chef.

It’s a beautiful sight that makes me feel happy as an employer, but I feel like crying when I think about the result of my resolution: mass production of tofu cakes.

‘Lyutis poisoned the mansion.’

It’s like this evil Armain’s Frakchi. Our mansion is already full with the half ring I gave it.

“Wow, it’s really delicious?”

“Besides, I think the taste and texture of this will vary depending on which beans are used.”

I closed my eyes in sadness as I heard Rize and Rin’s admiring comments.

As expected, the gifts the prince brings are different no matter what. I didn’t know that it would capture everyone’s tastes.

“Carl, are you okay?”

My back looked miserable, so Mar patted her shoulder with a worried expression, but she didn’t seem to be very comfortable.

Even Mar, who recently ate mostly fruit, saw her eating tofu cake with sparkling eyes.

“Of course it’s okay. From now on, when I don’t have an appetite, I can just eat that.”

Of course, I opened my mouth, pretending to be calm on the outside. If the fault lies with Lyutis, who gave the trauma-filled food as a gift, it does not lie with Mar, who ate a gift from a foreign prince.

In fact, if I were to consider the fundamental mistake, I was subject to probation and detention, but I tried to ignore that.

I don’t want to admit that I, not Lyutis, are to blame.

The words ‘last semester’ have magical power.

“This will be the last time I see the flowers growing at the academy.”

Even Villar, the model of a blunt knight, was so intoxicated by the situation of the last semester that he turned into an emotional person.

‘It’s worth it.’

Considering Villar’s usual appearance, I could not help but be surprised, but I quickly understood it.

Villar and I are in a position to be dispatched to control the trolling of high-ranking people. However, unlike me, who was dispatched within my own country, Villar was dispatched not to a typical foreign country, but to a rival country that was a potential enemy. The mental burden must have been worse on Villar than on me.

In such a terrible situation, the Empire and Armain, which were potential enemies, established friendly relations. The unplanned business trip to another country also ends this semester. If a person has even a trace of emotion left, the whole world will seem beautiful.

“Everyone can enter the academy, but anyone can only enjoy the beauty of the academy for three years. Since only the faculty can go beyond that, shouldn’t I and Lord Villars just step down?”

“That is correct. It would be a nuisance to enjoy the beauty any more.”

Anyway, when I gave an appropriate reply to Villar, who had a faint look in his eyes, Villar nodded his head with a faint smile.

That guy is only saying that, but he actually said, ‘Then do you want to stay?’ If I say the same thing, you might slap me in the face. Even in the military, as the day of discharge approaches, you may feel nostalgic, but you never postpone being discharged. I’m not a crazy b*stard.

“By the way, since you have been at the academy for three years, I think I should at least give you an honorary diploma to Lord Villar.”

“These words make my heart flutter just by hearing them. If I receive a diploma from the best educational institution on the continent, I will have more to brag about.”

And Villar laughed at the subtle suggestion. They probably did it because they thought it was just a joke.

‘It’s not a joke.’

Unfortunately, the story about honorary diplomas is not a joke. This issue came directly from the principal’s mouth, not from anyone else, right after the school opening ceremony.

“Although they are people who came to the academy for reasons no one expected, they are also people who have helped maintain security and events at the academy over the years. They are people we have grown too close to to draw the line as outsiders.”

To sum it up roughly, ‘They’ve worked hard, so let’s at least give them a business card.’ The content.

Although it does not involve any money, it is an appropriate compensation that shows honor and sincerity. Isn’t this the Imperial Academy, where Trixie comes as a dispatched instructor and I become the continent’s best swordsman? An honorary diploma from such an academy would be enough to be proud of.

“I would like to give it to the minister, but it is not possible because he has a clear position as inspector general.”

“It’s okay. Just because you don’t have a diploma doesn’t mean your memories at the academy will disappear.”

I’m not saying this because I absolutely can’t receive it.

Yes, you don’t need an honorary diploma or anything like that. Even if the husband has no honor, all wives have the real thing.

‘…There is no Fine.’

Come to think of it, among the six lovers, Fine has no experience attending the academy.

‘Ah.’

Going crazy. I shouldn’t be like this, but I quickly felt at peace knowing that there was a lover in the same situation as me. Her inner intimacy Her with Fine also doubled.

‘You shouldn’t identify with something like this.’

I’m sorry for being a bad lover, Fine.

***

She looked up at her ceiling blankly with her mouth open.

I… I’m having a hard time… Sister… Please save me…

“Chief, I’m going to start drooling.”

“If this document gets wet with saliva… Can I take a break…?”

“The task of creating new documents will be added.”

“Ehhhhh…”

Gueee…!

“Now, please take the pen again. If the processing is delayed, only the manager will suffer.”

She took up the pen again with tears in her eyes at the merciless urging of her cold-hearted junior.

It’s hard, the position of leading manager is so difficult and heavy!

‘I thought it was far from using one’s head if you were a leader.’

She began to force herself to read the document, muttering to herself a complaint she couldn’t share with others.

In fact, ordinary leading members are far from really using their brains. When I was a freshman, I only had to do what my seniors told me to do, and even when I became a sophomore, I only helped with the manager’s instructions. Life as a leader until last year was comfortable and enjoyable.

But this year, everything went awry when I became the head of the leading department, something I never wanted in my dreams.

‘Why am I the manager?’

I almost cried out of sadness. I wasn’t a leader from the time I entered school, and I don’t know why I, a commoner, was promoted to the position of manager. I’m grateful that other kids look at me favorably, but I think it’s okay to be hated a little if that’s the price I pay for it.

– If you are a leading manager, you will definitely receive a letter of recommendation! Don’t run away or play, just work hard!

Nevertheless, there is no particular reason why he is holding on to the position of leading manager. Because Amelia wants that.

My older sister, who graduated last year, received a letter of recommendation and went to a place called Wiridia.

– If you take advantage of your aptitude and join the military, at least you won’t have a hard time using your brain…

And the poor sister who had a dying look on her face wondering what on earth she was doing …

Because of that miserable appearance, I grit my teeth even more and hold on. Even though the head of the department is in charge of the department and has to use his head, after graduation, he can go back to a place where he can use his body again. I can’t live like my sister.

‘What on earth is going on?’

As I was reading her papers her, I briefly remembered her older sister’s haggard face her her her. I think I once said something like a cross between a wild mani and something like that, but I don’t know the details. She honestly listened but didn’t understand.

‘You seem to be doing well.’

Fortunately, apart from her haggard complexion, her older sister seemed to be doing well. Her work is hard, but is it rewarding or rewarding?

If you think about it, the Inspection Department is like a benefactor to our sisters—no, they’re working in the Minister’s territory. The minister is not the type of person to abuse his subordinates or make them do strange things, huh.

‘Should I go to Wiridia too?’

As she twirled the pen with her fingers, she thought about her career path after graduation. Her younger siblings also live in the house that her older sister built in Lydia, so if I work at Lydia, the whole family stays in the same place.

When I graduated, I planned to go to the Inspection Department to repay the minister’s favor, but if Wiridia is the minister’s territory, wouldn’t working there be a return to the favor? It’s definitely true─

“Chief, why have your eyes stopped working?”

“Oh.”

After that, I heard nagging for over 10 minutes.

It’s sad. I have to graduate quickly so I can go back to being the youngest member who is loved and not the manager who gets scolded by my juniors.

‘Huh?’

As I picked up the next document, shedding tears for the unknown number of times, I saw something unusual.

[ Proposal for emergency budget allocation to maintain security during this year’s anti-war war ]

‘Hmm?’

It was so unusual that I checked it several times.

Policing? Haven’t you already allocated the budget and manpower for that? But suddenly an emergency budget?

“Hey there, Cattleya.”

“Yes, manager.”

She didn’t know what to say, so she called someone who she might know, and Cattleya, who was processing other documents, turned her head.

“What is this?”

Cattleya’s brow furrowed slightly at the direct question, but it returned to normal.

“Oh, this.”

Eventually, Cattleya checked the documents I was holding, nodded and continued speaking.

“This year’s class competition is the last class competition that seniors from other countries can enjoy. That’s why they are so motivated to win this year. The level is incomparable to last year or the year before, so the role of the leading team has become more important.”

“Ah.”

As soon as she heard that, she thought seriously.

I don’t think dropping out of the academy would be a bad option.
