The boys also held their heads in the lunch cafeteria.
Because no one thought anything of it, although I tried to declare that I would fight with good momentum and manhood.
"Damn, I'm stuck with points again"
"What's Zelius doing! I'm already home from my parents."
Already in first place in the northern quarters, Zelius had returned, but that score had not grown much. Conversely, Heath's score has grown again to pack the difference.
The boys don't know if that's the one that threatened to score, or if it's the one that's getting a score for being flexible.
Their mourning has become dissatisfaction with Zelius, who is no longer the only being able to confront Heath. Not masculine......
"Oh, you're good, Golms. There's only one person, and the room hasn't been investigated."
Taking a relatively neutral stance in this disturbance, Gollms had also lightly avoided Heath's offense. Originally, we were close, so we had a good look.
"No, I was investigated, too."
"Huh?"
"Couinu came alone and stood in front of the room with his crying eyes. When I let him in, I just checked a little bit and left."
"I see..."
In the meantime, Ius was quietly having lunch.
(I already know why Zelius's score is growing poorly. It's a group induction. He's the type of guy who scores points by being witnessed around manly behavior. So Heath constantly places herself or Couinu in the aisle that leads to where Zelius is, turning down the flow of people who come into contact with Zelius.
That's easily possible now that we've been avoided contact from everyone as a prefect. If the number of sightings decreases, Zelius' score will grow)
"Damn, I couldn't even secure the book in the library, and it's still what he thinks.... What's going on?
Lutus, who was eating foolishly across the street, was suddenly surprised that Ius stood up.
"Going to battle..."
"Competition?"
"Yeah, he goes over Zelius' score before his last day. After that, it's too late to expose Prefect's wrongdoing. I'm going to uncover his injustice now. That will solve everything"
"Oh, man. But I have proof..."
Shortly after Lutus tried to stop him, Ius headed to Heath for lunch.
As if he knew it, Heath turns to Ius without any sign of surprise.
"What's wrong with you? Ius?"
The smile was so adorable with the girl, but her blue eyes held a cool light.
"Heath, I have doubts about you. The system you brought out of the dormitory rules and took office is called Prefect. I have seniors' testimony that it was abolished nine years ago."
The dining room purposefully rang at the words.
"I guess that's misremembered. It's written right here."
But without showing any upset at all, Heath let him try to lift the book he'd always carried with him since he took office in Prefect.
"Oh, so I want you to let me check. Have the contents of the dormitory rules been replaced with those from more than nine years ago?"
The air in the dining room turns into something nervous at once. In the interaction between the two, the gaze of the apprentice knights gathers.
Heath's eyes narrowed.
"I borrowed this from the library. I don't really want to lend it to people."
(Again......!
Ius is convinced of his suspicions and further tries to pursue them in words.
This is the only way. By directly hitting suspicion and spreading suspicion on this occasion, where everyone has a gaze, we take the book to a situation where we have to check it out. The evidence is the very book he has.
I don't know if I can get Heath, the mouth master, into that situation successfully.
But this is the only way more than this one could secure the book.
But Heath's next words were totally unexpected.
"But I don't mind."
Ius is confused. Check the book and Heath's wrongdoing should have been dispelled. That's why I thought the biggest difficulty was making you accept that. Worst of all, I even thought it was okay to stick to Heath's suspicions, spread distrust to everyone, and diminish Prefect's power.
But Heath took it lightly.
"However, I want to keep the number of people touching the book low. Because if you get torn, you'll be in trouble. I want it to be untouchable except by the person I specify. And I want a price for it."
"What is the price…?
"If not, I'll take all your manhood points. Not just for the vote, but for all the points you voted for."
Confused ius at the time of acceptance, but convinced of the word.
(It's a bluff...!
I'm trying to pull this one off by putting you at risk of losing your point.
Ius nodded instantly at the condition.
"Okay. My manhood. Let's bet all 582 points."
Heath is reluctant to hear that.
"Hmm, a little less"
Ius is completely convinced. I still don't think it's a good idea to be checked for books.
"Lutus!"
As Ius turned to Lutus, Lutus laughed and nodded softly.
"Okay, buddy! I'll bet you all the 320 points I have for the vote!
"902 points in total? Well, that's fine."
And Heath nodded.
No, I guess it was a situation where I had to snort. Because I've already come this far.
"Then I guess I can ask Rubine for the part to check out. If you're not an unrelated third party, you risk being manipulated."
Specifies the role of Heath in checking books. That was what Ius expected to do.
And it seems a little obsessive.
(You're still in a hurry!
Perhaps Rubine is one of the acquisitions. Probably one of those five.
Then Ius made it clear.
"No, that could make you more fraudulent. The story brightens that you are acquiring some of the northern quarters. So I want one more role to check out. If we had two people, we'd hardly be able to work injustice."
"... Fine"
I admitted after a little silence.
"Lutus, please"
And it was naturally Lutus that Ius chose.
