Volume 9 3 “Reversal”



Volume 9 Chapter 3 “Reversal”

Part 1

When I returned to the restaurant from the crime scene, Marie had devoured most of the food.

Seeing Marie eating more than she did in her previous life made me feel sad.

“You can eat so much with such a small body”

It was a mystery to me how Marie small body could hold such a large amount of food.

The person in question is dissatisfied with her small body that different from her previous life in many ways, and gets grumpy easily.

“That’s none of your business! So, what was the situation out there?”

“We’ll talk about it when we get back to the school. But first, let’s have one more check at the third work.”

“Again?”

At this point, we are only relying on Marie’s hazy memory, and we keep checking to see if she remembers anything as we talk.

A lot of time has passed since we were reincarnated.

There are many aspects of the games we played in the previous life that we have forgotten.

“I’m sure you’ll remember some things as we speak, right?”

“I can’t remember any more than that. I’ve only played the third game up to the middle. I saw the general flow of the game on a strategy site, but I didn’t check the details.”

She played the game while looking at a strategy site, and got bored halfway through and threw it away.

Even such knowledge of Marie’s is better than nothing.

“It’s fine”

“―― It’s a story about Mia, the main character who came from the Empire to study abroad, and her school life in the Kingdom. Naturally, she meets a lot of handsome guys, and the villainous princess, Erika, is very mean to her in the beginning.”

“A villainous princess. Seems like it evolved from a noble villainess.”

I pick up the picture of the villainous princess on the table.

She has long, gently wavy black hair, and while she is rather small, her breasts seem to be normal. She has a mild-mannered expression on her face, but it seems that this is why she has a bad personality.

“She has a terrible personality. She’s the epitome of a nasty woman who plays innocent on the outside. She has a weak constitution, but it’s not true. Behind the scenes, she does terrible things, and she’s really annoying”

“Hate your own kind, huh?”

I laugh at her, and Marie throws me a wooden spoon that hits me in the face.

I close my mouth as she stares at me, and Marie begins to tell me the rest of the story.

“There was a behind the scenes kind of story about the war event with the Principality that happened when we were first year.”

“Behind the scenes story?”

“What happened behind the scenes of the war ~ something like that? There were some events where you could earn favor with His Highness Jake and the others, but with the current state of affairs, most of those events are crushed.”

We’ve already defeated the last bosses who were the trump cards of the Principality.

I’m just relieved that the crisis in the kingdom has been dealt with.

“Anyway, after the events of the first year, in the second year, Hertrauda comes to study abroad. There is going an interaction with Hertrauda, but she’s a princess from a defeated country, so she’s in a difficult position. Well, she’s not here anymore”

Hertrauda-san lost her life at the cost of summoning a last boss called the Guardian Deity with a magic flute during the war.

Checking it out like this, the impact we’ve had on this world is quite large.

“As usual, she gets bullied by Erika, but in the middle of her second year, Mia is called back to the Empire. There’s going to be a story about how the emperor who fell ill was Mia’s father.”

Luxion teased at Marie’s explanation.

[This time, too, a special bloodline. After Olivia and Noel, Mia also has a very special bloodline.]

Marie seemed to agree with some of Luxion’s sarcasm.

“It’s a popular setting. So Mia will be recognized as an imperial princess. The Empire will send a flying battleship to protect her, so Erika won’t be bullied anymore. This time, though, the bullying will be directed at Hertrauda.”

[The Holy Magic Empire is much more powerful than the Kingdom of Horfalt. From a diplomatic standpoint, it’s a bad idea for Erika to bully Mia.]

Normally, it would be best not to bully people, but I guess that’s what makes her a villain princess.

But from what I’ve seen of Ange and Louise, it’s hard to judge whether they are really just bad characters. We have to think and act in case she’s not a bad guy.

I urge Marie to continue.

“So, what happened in the middle?”

“There’s an event where Erika insults Hertrude. ―― That enrages Hertrauda, and she moves the Principality’s fleet to war. There are monsters coming out of the sky and the sea, and Mia and her friends need Jake and the others’ help to defeat the last boss in the sea. The sky is going to be defeated by the Saint Olivia. As for Erika, she’ll be exposed for the evil she’s done, and she’ll end up tragically.”

Unlike before, the explanation was very broad, because Marie didn’t know the details either.

“There’s no appearance of the guardian knight Herring there, is there? It’s not like he’s going to appear at the end of the game or some hidden character?”

The presence of a guardian knight, who would not normally come to study abroad, is unexpected for me and Marie.

The very existence of the guardian knight who protects the protagonist is suspicious.

“He wasn’t there. I’m sure there are no hidden characters either. I don’t even know what a guardian knight is in the first place.”

It’s doubtful that Marie, whose strategy information is vague, would be able to say for sure, but if she says so much, there’s a good chance it never appeared in the game.

“We’ll look into the guardian knight carefully, but the problem is the future development.”

As I looked at the photo of the villainous princess Erika at eye level, Marie’s figure also entered my field of vision. As I moved my gaze to compare the two, I felt that they looked alike for some reason.

There are few elements of resemblance as the hair color, facial expression, and physique but all are different.

When I compare them seriously, Marie puffs up her cheeks, thinking I’m going to tease her again.

Seeing that she was clutching a fork and ready to throw at any moment, I decided that I shouldn’t say anything poorly and closed my mouth.

.

Part 2

The day after the entrance ceremony.

The new students also started their classes, but the content was all about explaining the future.

It’ll be a little while before the classes start in earnest.

In the midst of all this, Mia, a foreign student from the Empire, sat nervously in her seat.

Being a foreigner, few students approached Mia in the classroom.

Most of the time, they just watch from a distance.

(Uuu, I’m nervous)

Mia is nervous every day in an unfamiliar environment, but she does know one person.

Entering the classroom was a tall, handsome male student who stood out from the rest.

It was Finn, another foreign student, who had volunteered to be Mia’s guardian knight.

Although they are both foreigners, the looks directed at Finn are often favorable, unlike Mia. He gets jealous glances from the boys, but most of the girls like him.

Such a proud knight sits next to Mia and talks to her.

“The kingdom is too aristocratic. The corridors of the academy look like a palace. If it were the Empire, they’d just claim it’s a palace and they’d go through with it.”

Finn says it’s too much for a school building, and Mia rebukes him without confidence.

“Knight-sama, I don’t think you should be speaking too harshly.”

Mia’s lack of confidence in Finn was due to the fact that she was aware that she was an ordinary person. Originally, she knew that a knight like Finn would not become her guardian knight.

However, Finn is smiling at Mia, who is rebuking him.

“I apologize for that, my princess. But it’s not a bad mouthing. It was just sarcasm.”

Mia blushed and replied to Finn, who treated her reverently.

“I-I don’t think sarcasm is okay either.”

“My princess is very selfish. But I am your guardian knight, so I will obey you.”

Finn said that and laughed with a giggle, and Mia, who noticed that she had been teased, turned away from her red face.

“You were teasing Mia. Knight-sama is terrible.” (Note: She called herself by name)

“I’m just kidding. Then again, you don’t have to be so nervous about me. I wish you’d show more of a friendly attitude.”

“T-That’s impossible. Because Knight-sama, even in the empire ――”

Knowing how great a knight Finn was, Mia was about to say she was afraid, but before she could continue, a noisy voice stopped the conversation.

“I’m really sorry, Finley-san!”

As soon as they entered the classroom, all eyes were on the male student who apologized to the female student.

The girl got an apology ―― Finley was dumbfounded.

“Oscar-san, you don’t have to apologize anymore. But please don’t mistake me for my brother again. I was really embarrassed.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was your brother when he said Bartofalt.”

“If I may speak, Oscar-san, you should use your head a little more. If you listen to His Highness, ten out of ten people will go to call my brother instead of me.”

“Y-You’re right. I’m often told to use my head. I think I do, though.”

Finley was dumbfounded by Oscar’s desperate apology.

‘What’s going on?’ Mia was looking at them, but then she wondered about Finn’s reaction and moved her gaze.

There was Finn, looking at Finley with a serious expression on his face.

“Finley-san? As I recall, she is little sister of the Marquis Bartofalt.”

When Mia hears Baltofart’s name, she tells Finn that she knows him too.

“Mia knows, too. He’s the hero who brought down a very powerful country from the inside, isn’t he? I think his nickname was ―― “A Fiend-san”?”

The rumors about Leon that had made their way to the Empire weren’t actually that accurate.

Finn is a little stunned, but he’s trying not to laugh, as if it were funny.

“The Marquis’ second name is the Fiend Knight.”

“Is that so? But being a fiend knight is amazing, isn’t it? Just from the name alone, I can imagine a very scary person.”

” ――You’re right.”

When Finn turned serious, he looked to where a crowd was gathering in the classroom.

There she was, her classmate, His Highness the First Princess of the Kingdom of Horfalt. Today, she is surrounded by a large number of female students who seem to be her followers.

Seeing that, Mia looked at her with admiration.

“That must be Erika-sama. She is beautiful today, isn’t she?”

“That’s right”

Mia was annoyed with Finn, who was looking at Erika with an absent-minded reply. It bothered her that her own knight, who had just called her princess, was looking at another woman.

“Does Knight-sama also like people who look like princess?”

Mia, who was aware that she had asked a mean question, looked down, afraid to hear the answer.

However, Finn was careful when he saw Mia like that.

“My princess is only Mia.”

Finn’s words set her teeth on edge, but Mia was happy to hear it, even if it was a lie.

However, from Mia’s point of view, Erika was really beautiful.

(The princess is really beautiful)

With shiny black hair and a calm atmosphere that doesn’t match her age, the girl stands out from the rest of the class.

After looking at Erika for a while, the person in question seemed to notice Mia’s gaze.

She turned to her and smiled, Mia smiled back awkwardly.

She was happy to see that she was recognized and immediately looked at Finn.

“Knight-sama, did you see it just now? Knight-sama?”

But Finn, who was staring at Erika, had somehow lost his smile and had become expressionless.

Part 3

After school.

I had invited two friends to my room in the dormitory.

I brought Daniel and Raymond, two of my group mates from the poor baron family I once belonged to, to my room to ask for advice.

Daniel admired the room which had a large table.

“Leon has finally risen to this level, huh”

He must have judged from the room that he was being treated well by the school.

They were both troubled by the fact that I, whom they had once thought of as one of them, had become a figure above the clouds. Especially Raymond.

“I think it’s better to call you by adding sama. It might be rude to lump you into the same group.”

It’s kind of lonely when your friends act like they’re distancing themselves from you.

To begin with, nothing inside me has changed since I entered the school ―― No, I guess I must have changed a bit. The fact that I haven’t grown in any way makes me sad.

“Don’t worry about it. Even though I got promoted, I have no territory or income, so I’m just as poor.”

Daniel shrugs when I say that.

“Look who’s talking. You’re a winner when you’re engaged to a duke’s daughter. Anyway, I was relieved to see that Leon was still the same. I’m in trouble if you suddenly say, “I’m not like you guys anymore!””

Daniel and Raymond both smile, happy that my attitude has not changed.

Raymond agreed as he straightened his glasses.

“I can’t feel free to consult with you either.”

I serve tea to them and confirm the content of the consultation.

“What is your problem? If it’s not about money, I’ll listen.”

The talk is also about money matters, but I learned in a previous life that it is not a good idea to bring financial issues into friendships.

If there was nothing they could do, I would lend a hand, but otherwise I was going to refuse.

Fortunately, neither Daniel nor Raymond seemed to be asking for financial advice.

I’m thankful that the two of them are decent friends.

Daniel began to talk about the contents of the consultation with a serious expression on his face.

“Actually, the number of invitations from girls has been increasing rapidly since last year.”

“Is that a dig at me for all the trouble I went through as a first-year? If you’re bragging, go home.”

When I tried to chase away my rude friends, Raymond hurriedly explained the situation in detail.

“W-Wait! We’re really worried about this! At first, we felt kind of superior. It was nice to see girls who had been ignoring us trying so hard to flatter us.”

Raymond’s honest opinion made me want to listen to him a little more.

Well, not everyone is a Saints or Wise Men.

Serves you right! It can’t be helped that’s what I thought, If I’d been there, I’d have felt superior.

However ―― it seems that both of them realized the reality immediately.

Daniel looks down.

“When I see the girls desperately trying to appeal to me, I feel like I’m looking at my first-year self, and it hurts my heart. I don’t feel comfortable giving them the cold shoulder just for fun. When I thought about it, I began to feel uncomfortable even accepting invitations to tea.”

When I was a first year, the boys used to invite the girls, but now it seems that the girls are inviting the boys.

Raymond took a sip of his tea, thinking that change is possible, and then he put his head in his hands.

“But we know them from first year. We can see that the girls are just trying to be nice. That’s why it never develops into a relationship.”

I don’t know the situation at the school since I was studying abroad last year. That’s why I decided to ask the two of them what they thought of the school.

“What happened to the other groups?”

I was able to find out what was going on with the poor group of barons, but the problem was the other groups. There were many rich and high status groups, and I wanted to know about their situation.

Daniel makes a displeased face and tells me about last year’s mess.

“It’s the worst. It was a good thing that Leon decided to study abroad. There were broken engagements everywhere, and the word “pandemonium” was the perfect word.”

Last year, I heard that the hellish scene was repeated.

Raymond also looks down and talks about how bad it was last year.

“A lot of people in the group other than us were already engaged. Most of them broke off their engagements because they didn’t want to rush into marriage, and it was a total disaster. Everyday there are girls crying, it’s tough.”

Daniel presses his hand on his stomach.

“I’ve seen enough carnage between men and women to make my stomach churn.”

I’d like to take a look at it a little bit, but if they hate it so much, it’s probably a good thing I don’t.

“Mostly engagement abandoned ―― Oi, what happened to Millie and Jessica?! If those two have broken off their engagement, too, you’d better speak to them right away.”

I listen to them and give the names of Millie and Jessica, who were treated as goddesses when I was first year. They were kind to a group of poor boys, even though there were many terrible girls.

When they decided to get engaged, most of the boys were crying and congratulating them.

I was one of them. I didn’t cry ―― but I wished them happiness.

Because they were very good girls.

Daniel and Raymond’s expressions turned grim as they remembered the two of them.

“Millie and Jessica’s fiancées insisted they would never break off their engagement. There were a lot of boys who thought about courting the two heartbroken girls, so I quickly fact-checked.”

“They’ve surrounded by a bunch of people, tied up and hung.”

Apparently, they took advantage of the engagement breakup ruckus to hang Millie and Jessica’s partner.

These guys are pretty extreme.

I had a good idea of what the outcome would be, so I drank my tea and then asked the question.

“And it failed.”

Daniel swung his fist down on the table.

“They said they would never break up with them! They said they would protect them to the end because they were important people who had supported them since their first year! A handsome man has also handsome at heart, huh!

Apparently, her rich and handsome partners told her that there was no way they would break off their engagement to Millie and Jessica. Well, even I would say that.

They have good personalities from the start, and I see two of them getting along well with each other after their engagement.

They wouldn’t want to leave such two people and find a new partner.

Raymond took off his glasses and wiped his tears.

“As long as they’re happy, I’m fine with that.”

And while saying that, you hung the two boys, didn’t you?

I was relieved to see that Millie and Jessica were happy.

“Even after all the fuss, there are girls who are valued and there are girls who are not. There are some girls who are valued even after the commotion, and some who are not.”

No matter what the situation, there are girls who are finding happiness.

I guess it just goes to show how important it is to do things on a daily basis.

As for the girls who were dismissed from the engagement ―― well, all I can say is good luck to them.

Daniel looks at me enviously.

“You got it good, don’t you? You’re engaged to a Duke’s daughter, and in addition, a special student. You’re also engaged to a princess in the Republic!”

Thanks to my engagement to Ange, Livia, and even Noel, I was free from the problem of marriage. No, or rather, the problem started from now on?

I could see the jealousy in Raymond’s eyes as he looked at me.

“I can’t decide who to choose in this situation. So I thought I’d talk to Leon and see if he could come up with some solutions.”

“Solution from me? I’ve been away from the school for the last year, so I’m not as familiar with the situation as you guys. Ah, and by the way――”

I decided to tell them about the School of the Republic.

“――In school of the republic, I’m treated like a super gentleman. I just have to act normal like here, and the girls are happy.”

When I bragged, Daniel and Raymond had blue streaks on their foreheads.

Despite smiling, they seem to be quite angry with me.

“I-I envy you.”

“While we were having a hard time, you were having a good time overseas.”

The two of them envied me, and I was overjoyed.

“Well~, I got a precious youth. You guys should have studied abroad too, it would have been fun.”

I stir them up, and they jump on me.

“This bastard!”

“Leon is still Leon! You don’t even know how we feel!”

The two of them jointed me and I quickly gave up.

“Give! I give up already!”

While the three men were making noise, there was a knock at the door.

.

Part 4

When I got out of the room, it was starting to get dark outside.

Noel was the one who came to call me, and Daniel and Raymond followed us.

Noel grabbed my hand and hurried to the scene.

“Come on, hurry up”

“You called me out of the blue and I wondered what was going on, but it was just a fight, wasn’t it?”

“Yes, but… I don’t know much about the kingdom, but I think that was bad.”

The reason I was called in was because there was a fight in the school.

If this was a fight between two people of the same sex, Noel would not have relied on me.

This time, however, it was a fight between a boy and a girl.

It would have been impossible in the past at the school, but I guess it can happen now.

“I don’t think I could mediate even if I went. I don’t even know why they fought in the first place.”

Noel furrowed her brow at my unmotivated attitude, and Daniel spoke to me from behind.

“Didn’t you know, Leon? The school is a lot different now than it was when you knew it.”

“What’s the difference?”

As we walked, I looked back at Raymond and he told me more about the situation.

“Unlike in our days, boys are given preferential treatment. The juniors one year below us are troublesome, but the new students are probably even worse.”

“Worse?”

“The girls’ position in the first year has been swapped for that of the boys.”

As we get closer to the scene, we can hear the commotion.

The students of the onlookers surround the new students, a boy and a girl, who are staring at each other. The teacher is there to intervene, but she is not being listened to by the two staring at each other.

And there was another figure, Ange. Behind her, Livia was waiting.

Ange interceded with the two staring at each other with a stern expression.

“How long are you guys going to quarrel? It’s not the kind of quarrel that can cause this much trouble.”

When Noel pulled me through the onlookers and inside, the girls were more furious.

“Are you asking me to forgive this man?! I’m not wrong. This is the man that came behind us and pushed my friend!”

The girl, who seemed to be her friend, had been grazed by a fall. She was behind a female student who was speaking ladylike language, and she was ogling and saying, “It’s fine”.

The male student, on the other hand, was giggling with a disgusting smile.

“It’s your fault for walking so slow in front of me. You girls have to give way to the boys, isn’t that obvious?”

“What did you say?”

“This bitch. If you keep acting like that, you’ll never get a married.”

“! I-I’m not going to give in to such threats.”

The ladylike schoolgirl says she won’t give in, but her gaze wanders.

Seeing this, I understood what Raymond was talking about.

“Uwa~, this is terrible.”

A scene that would have been unthinkable not so long ago, and I’m flabbergasted.

When Livia noticed that I had seen a disgusting gender reversal, she grabbed Ange’s arm to let her know. When Ange learned of my arrival, she let out a small sigh of relief that I was finally here.

When I approached Ange and Livia to ask them more about the situation, the people around me buzzed.

“It’s the third-year Leon-senpai.”

“He is the real Marquis.”

“He looks weaker than I thought”

Who said I looked weak? I’m a small-minded man, so I’ll let Luxion check you out later and pay you back.

More importantly, it was uncomfortable because it was oddly conspicuous.

Even when I was a first-year student, I stood out in a bad way, but the way I was treated now was strangely itchy.

Noel presents me to Ange.

“I’ve brought him”

“You’re finally here. Leon, I’m sorry, but you have to intercede.”

I’m willing to follow Ange’s request if she asks me to, but how am I supposed to intercede? In the meantime, I look at the two people who are fighting.

“Ah~, etto”

When I try to talk to them, the ladylike schoolgirl takes a step back.

“Hiy!”

For some reason, she was very frightened, but when I looked at the boys, thinking that I couldn’t listen to what they had to say, this one was positive.

“You must be the third-year Leon-senpai. I’m Marco, the fifth son of the Count Knolls. I’ve heard rumors about you for a long time. My brother also praised you as a hero for destroying the corrupt customs of the school”

“That’s all well and good, but… Why are you guys having a staring contest in this place? From what I just heard, you came behind her and pushed her, is there a reason?”

I asked him if there were any circumstances, but the answer was worse than I had expected.

“No, I was just annoyed that they were talking so happily.”

“――Ha?”

“I didn’t like that she was walking in front of me, being of lower status than me. These girls need to be disciplined.”

I thought I had misheard, so I turned my attention to Angl. I looked over at Angl, who seemed to know what I meant, and put her hands on her hips and looked down.

“He’s an ignorant of the ways of the world.”

Not so long ago, I had thought that in the Kingdom of Horfalt, most of the families above the rank of Count were decent, with a few exceptions.

The boy in front of me, however, seemed to be an exception.

Marco doesn’t doubt that I’ll take his side, and when he stands by my side, he points his finger at the ladylike girl and declares.

“We have a marquis, Leon-senpai, with us. Girls like you will be expelled immediately.”

I couldn’t figure out what Marco was thinking. I don’t have the authority to do that, and I don’t intend to do it.

No matter how you look at it, Marco is the one who is at fault.

However, the girl with the ladylike tone turned pale and her legs trembled. It was as if the decision to expel her had been made, but I had no authority to decide.

I say to Marco, who looks at me like I’m one of his friends, as he deserves it.

“No, you’re the one who’s wrong, no matter what I think. Quickly apologize.”

But when I told him, Marco looked like he didn’t understand.

“Eh?”

“Not eh. I said you were wrong and you should apologize. What do you think you’re doing, suddenly pushing someone from behind?”

Marco suddenly reddened, and then complained to me.

“You’ve got to be kidding me! Why do I have to apologize?! I’m from the Count’s family!”

“You, if you said that, Ange who was interceding is a member of the Duke’s family. Why don’t you just listen to her? Come on, just apologize. It’s already dark.”

I looked around and saw that it was completely dark.

Why do I have to deal with this idiot so early in the new semester?

Marco was shaking and trying to hit me, but one of his classmates desperately tried to stop him. It seems to be one of Marco’s cronies.

“Marco-bocchan, remember who you’re dealing with! You’re really going to get killed. I’m so sorry. I’m really sorry. Please forgive us!”

Marco, who had cooled down after being told off by his cronies, shakily apologized.

“――I’m sorry about that. I’ll get you the money right away, so please spare my life. I will also ask my parents to prepare as much money as possible.”

“No, not to me”

Why is he so frightened? As I was thinking this, I heard voices around me mocking Marco.

“A~ah, he has done it”

“If you quarrel with the Marquis, you’re finished.”

“He’s the one who might get expelled”

I’m curious about the evaluation of me by the people around me, but for some reason I feel sick about it.

Ange, noticing my state, speaks to me.

“I’m glad you’re here to help. ――I’ll take care of the rest, so please go back to your room first. I’ll tell you the details later.”

“A-Aa~”

.

Part 5

Night.

Ange was the only one who came to visit my room.

I invite her in and prepare a drink, and she sits down in a chair with a cup and tells me the details of what just happened.

“A hero is feared not only by his enemies, but by his allies as well. You have more influence than you think, Leon. I’m a duke myself, but you’re a marquis and a national hero. Did you see how the students reacted? You have more influence than I do now.”

“I am just a fake using Luxion’s powers.”

Ange smiled sadly at my joke.

Luxion, who was listening to the conversation, questioned Ange.

[The fifth son of the Count seems to be quite unfamiliar with aristocratic society. I’m surprised that he would ignore the Duke’s daughter, Angelica’s intervention. Or is Angelica’s authority being diminished?]

I rebuked Luxion for her comment about Ange’s diminishing influence.

“You’re overstating it. He looked like an idiot to me, and he’s just ignorant of the world.”

[That ignorant is increasing throughout the school.]

“――Is that so?”

Looking from Luxion to Ange, she tells me why the number of stupid boys has increased.

“You know the ratio of men to women in the nobility, don’t you? There are fewer men, making it harder for women to marry. We’ve changed to a male-dominated society, and the attitude of some of the boys who found out about it has gotten worse. It wasn’t this bad last year, but I’m sure there will be more boys like that starting this year.”

“I assumed any family above the rank of Count would be decent.”

“Marco is the fifth son. The Count Knolls has a firm legitimate son, and I’ve heard that the second through fourth sons were also excellent.”

After hearing that, Luxion seemed to be convinced.

[There are already spares for spares, and the fifth son will not inherit the family. Therefore, I suppose his education was moderate.]

“I suppose it’s the result of spoiling the youngest. It’s a shame it was so good until the fourth son.”

Thanks to Ange’s knowledge of noble society, I was able to understand something.

I got involved in unnecessary trouble because of the ignorant bonbon*. (Note: *young master)

Marco’s attitude was awful, as I remember it now.

“I wish they’d fix some of that ignorant a little. Like, if I give the order, you can get expelled, what are they thinking?”

[Angelica, by using Master’s authority, could that girl have been expelled?]

I wonder what Luxion was thinking, and he asks if what Marco said is possible for me.

It would be impossible, of course, but Ange put down her cup, put her hand on her chin, and thought about it.

“Not through normal procedures, but I’m sure Leon can do it now. The girl is from a viscount family. Leon can expel her if he wants.”

When I hear Ange’s answer, I freeze.

“No, it’s impossible. The headmaster is my mentor. He would never allow that to happen.”

The current headmaster of the school is my mentor. He is a perfect gentleman, and he would never expel a female student for an almost false accusation.

However, Ange said, “You’re being soft” and then tells me about the expulsion methods.

“From the headmaster’s point of view, there’s a difference in credibility between a new female student and you. I’m sure he’ll at least give you permission if Leon make up some evidence to force him to expel her.”

“There’s no way I’m going to take advantage of Shishou’s trust!”

When I answered immediately, Ange gave me a complicated look. She looked as if she wanted to blame me, but also somewhat relieved.

“It’s fortunate that the headmaster is not a woman. If it had been a woman, Leon would have chosen the headmaster even if he had to leave us.”

“No, I don’t think that’s the case. I fell in love with Shishou’s tea, regardless of the gender!”

I tried to clear up the misunderstanding, but Ange’s gaze became even more stern.

” ―― I’ll just leave it at that.”

“W-Why are you angry?”

I looked at Luxion as if to ask for help, but he shook his single eyes.

[You can’t be trusted because of your usual behavior. Why don’t you learn more about women’s hearts before you make tea?]

Why am I being taught about the woman’s heart by an artificial intelligence?

Ange lets out a small sigh and then stares at my face.

“Leon, you have more influence in the kingdom than you know. You know about the bounty Rachel has put on you? Five million Dia is the most they’ve ever put on you. They’ve identified you as an enemy of the state.”

“It is the worst, isn’t it? I tried to do the least amount of harm I could.”

“I like your kindness, too, but there are many people who would take it as an insult. By the way, what a shameful result that the positions of boys and girls have just been reversed.”

In the past, boys were oppressed, and now girls are being oppressed.

As a result, the situation at the school has either remained the same or gotten worse.

However, Luxion seemed to have been able to predict this outcome from the beginning.

[If I may say it, this result is within the expectation.]

Apparently, Luxion had been able to predict the appearance of a being like Marco from the beginning.

Looking at Luxion’s smug expression, I was getting angry.

“If you knew it, then tell me.”

[You have not been asked for my opinion]

When I couldn’t say anything back, Ange, who had been keeping a serious face, broke into a smile. She seemed to enjoy watching us interact.

“I’m relieved to see you guys. Well, if Leon defended the girls, it should calm the boys down a bit.”

I don’t think my words are enough to solve the problem, but the school is in a worse situation than I thought. No, it hasn’t changed, has it?
