I have a royal family in Group E for a year. This story quickly spread to the College. The after-school classroom is a mess. The non-factional, rather than unaccompanied, descendants of the aristocratic family who have heard rumors come to visit Group E's classroom for a year in an effort to somehow get through the good with Claudia.

Around Claudia, many students began to gather every day.

After all, there was nothing to hide.

Theresa sees a lot of students gathering at Claudia's, and she's feeling better, but now she knows how to do things like ask for a stopover. Because they were not called by the factions of Hildegand and others.

Theresa hasn't noticed this. And the powerful, factionless human beings watched it with cold eyes.

"Isn't that amazing?

"Sort of. Whatever you say, you're the Empress of the Empire."

"Why were you willing to make that public?

It was Kamui who created the impetus for Claudia's story to spread. Around the college, rumors went around to hear them. If it spreads somewhat, there will also be those who will try to ascertain it.

Rumors were known to be true and the entire college was wrapped in surprise.

"Oh, and you'll never come near me, will you?

"I thought that would happen."

"Is Otto good?

"What?

Suddenly, Otto is bewildered by being told the story. Sometimes Kamui's words are too short to know what he's talking about. Otto has few opportunities for conversation.

"No, if you stay close, it might help business, right?

"Oh, that? We're not in that much trouble. Besides, the ratio of transactions with the palace is extremely small in terms of overall profit."

"Really? I thought the royal family would spend quite a bit of money."

Kamui imagines a life of luxury versus the palace, dressed differently every day and dressed in different ornaments

"I'll use that, though. It's just a lot of money, and our profits are equal to nothing."

"I mean, while you call it business, is it like a bribe?

"Can you stop saying that? Bribing is a terrible punishment."

"But I'm not actually guilty."

"Sort of. Because the guilty are receiving it."

Officials and lords everywhere are far more likely to actually accept bribes. It's actually more convenient than the royal family because it's you.

It's the end of the world.

"It's been a long time since the end of the world."

"Oops, Otto, I'm surprised you're going to make such a dry statement"

"I'd love to tell you. Apparently, taxes go up."

"... that's just how fast the merchant info is. When?"

Otto and his parents are merchants. Although the information was understandable, Kamui was a little surprised that Otto, who was still a student, knew it.

"You're right at the beginning of the year. Oh, you don't have to worry about Kamui this time. The next tax hike is for merchants only."

"That's a little reassuring. My kitchen situation is tough."

Kamui knows very well that the Viscounts of Kreutz have tight finances.

"Because we have nothing to do with the tax rates set by the Empire"

Selene's home was originally subject to heavier taxes than those laid down. I just can't say it doesn't matter.

"Still, that would be an excuse to be taken even further, wouldn't it?

"Oh, yeah. So that's what you should have thought."

"We're not good."

Otto complains gently toward Kamui and Serene, who show relief.

"Yes, but is it that hard? Otto-kun's house is a pretty big deal, isn't it?

"For that matter, the amount to be paid will also be greater. Rumor has it the tax rate is pretty good."

"... Come to think of it, you've been through that a lot. You've moved a lot, haven't you?

There is no reason for merchants to shut up and watch what is detrimental to them. Using various handouts, I should have tried to crush them.

"I guess so. I think that's a pretty good move."

"Still transferred to execution. What's this all about?

"Is that what I say?

"It's good, nothing"

Kamui received that Otto's reluctance to explain was a pain in the ass. Mostly because I am.

"That's not what I meant. The reason why I didn't get through was because I didn't get to the key people. No, I guess because I didn't take it."

"Was there someone like that?

Officials who do not accept bribes. It should be obvious, but he's actually a pretty rare person. You don't have to ask for it, but if you're offered it, you'll take it.

"That's why I said. This is something you, the nobles, should know. A short while ago, on the recommendation of the Crown Prince, a new figure rose to national politics. He's a pretty good guy."

"Maybe that's what took power?

"Well, I guess so."

"What kind of person are you?

Even if you are not royal, there are influential people who can ignore the pressure of the great merchants. This is a fact that attracts a lot of interest from Kamui.

"I haven't been taught the details. I guess it's the truth that I haven't been able to find out."

"Don't worry about it more and more. You mean a mysterious person?

"So far. It's like a sudden promotion. Until then, I still don't know what I was doing."

"You said the Crown Prince's recommendation, didn't you?

The idea of the person and the Crown Prince is considered close to what the Crown Prince would recommend. Kamui thought that if he knew the person, he might also know for the Crown Prince.

"That's all I know. But I think he trusts me pretty much. Because of how many crown princes you are, you suddenly promote an anonymous figure. I think I made it quite impossible. If this wasn't brilliant, the crown prince's face would have been rounded."

"But he was excellent. Does not accepting bribes mean that someone is innocent?

If so, the crown prince who elected him is also an innocent figure. If so, the next generation may have a little expectation.

"So don't put it in your mouth."

"Bad. That's it, that's it"

I still don't know if it's clean or not.

Otto has denied Kamui's idea.

"Why?"

"This is a story I've been taught before, but there are two kinds of people who don't receive arres. One is an innocent person Kamui-kun said, and the other is someone else who will be sent"

"I already have someone I've put together. If that's the case, he's dangerous inside."

If there is an already formed counterpart, the purpose is to eliminate the current vested rights holder for that counterpart. It's the beginning of a political battle.

"As Kamui thinks, it could crush an existing merchant like my house"

"And the rise of new forces? That's kind of awesome. I wonder what lies ahead? What do you think of Alto?

"... what's the purpose of crushing an existing merchant. I don't know how to do this, but it's gonna be a lot of confusion, right?

"That's right. Our family has roots quite widely in the Empire."

Imperial logistics is made up of such merchants. Each merchant connects the city to the city on their own. If that stops, circulation within the Empire will undoubtedly plunge into havoc.

"Even if you push it, you can do it. You're ahead of the merchant...... If that's the case, it's gonna take a lot."

"You're a nobleman behind an existing merchant.... hardly a coup."

"I'm not saying the royal family is waking up a coup."

"Oh well, is the Crown Prince's will more likely? The weakening of the nobility, and the consequent increase in the power of the royal family. Tsujitsu doesn't fit."

The content of Alto's and Kamui's stories is getting bigger and bigger.

"Is that what you're serious about?

Start talking, enough that Otto won't be able to follow you.

"Otto, I'm sorry to hear that. I might not have it till your time."

"Why don't you tell me something that's not even close?

"But the Crown Prince is the opponent. Your Majesty the future Emperor. Your majesty made me an enemy.

"Until Alt-kun..."

"Not at all. You are. How can you broaden your imagination so much with such information? If you do that, Uncle Fang won't keep his mouth shut. The Empire will be a mayhem."

Selene came out of her mouth, looking at Otto, who had been depressed. However, to follow up, what you're saying is quite noisy.

The biggest supporter of merchants is the Uncle Fang family. The merchant, known as the Great Merchant, is strongly linked to either Uncle. Enough to say I could have grown because of that.

Naturally, Uncle Fang's family has a great deal in return. If you try to crush the big business, you can be sure that it will conflict with Uncle Fang's family. If it is a conflict between the royal family and the Fang Uncle family, it may make its scale considerable.

"That's mayhem. But I think I might have something to show you."

Even listening to Serene, he refuses, and Alto seems happy.

"Why?"

"If there's any confusion, we'll need someone to converge on it."

"Is that it?

"There are so many of us in our generation."

Needless to say who that is. This school year is about those who were called the Golden Generation.

"That's what Alto thinks."

"I've done a lot of research. I started to wonder if those guys were going to have a peaceful time. Those are the ones who shine in the world."

"Times await them?

I didn't even think about it in particular, Serene put the words in his mouth as they came to his head.

"Whoa, Mr. Serene, that's a good word."

Alto seems to have quite liked Serene's dialogue.

"If that happens... I see. Could that be good, too?

Serene's face also suddenly turned into something serious.

Confusion within the Empire is a great opportunity for the border territories. If it were to be a civil unrest throughout the empire, the influence of the peripheral territories, which make up a quarter of the territory, would inevitably be greater. Follow someone, give them kung fu, make them independent.

It's a dangerous bet that if it fails, it will be doomed, but it's better than staying jilli poor, Serene thinks.

"Well, is Mr. Serene a turbulent and radiant nature?"

"I don't have that power. But turmoil is where you want it. And I'm not the only one who wants that, am I?

"As Kamui said, Mr. Serene is an awesome woman. Oh, my God, I know the brightest man in the world."

Listening to Alto, everyone's gaze gathers in nature and Kamui.

"Who?"

"It's you, idiot!

"You don't call me stupid, do you?

"Hey you, don't be blunt. I thought you were losing one of your heads more than they are."

"I'm glad to hear that, but that's not true. It's someone else who's missing one head."

"... who?

"The man has excellent swords, magic, and good character. Don't think you're pretty smart, too. It's even more beautiful."

There's no place for that. If Kamui is right, there will be such a person at Imperial College.

"Beda, that's a compliment."

Alto has a bitter laugh when he realizes who Kamui is talking about.

"I thought if I praised you for this position, you would be luxurious. Hey, Mr. Deefleet?"

Kamui said this and looked back.

"Was it broken?"

That's where Deefleet was trying to sneak behind Kamui.

"I'm not blunt enough to stand behind you and not notice. It's not like someone else."

"Shut up."

Serene complains, having a heap of thoughts.

"There's still not enough training to detect signs."

Deefleet, who says this, is looking seriously depressed.

"No, to tell the truth, I just noticed with Sere's gaze. The answer is simple if you think about who else is going to sneak in later, other than those who were there."

"Is that what we're gonna do? Is that what makes me luxurious?

"Did you come?"

Deefreet has been trying to use what Kamui joked about.

"Because you failed last time. Thanks to someone standing there happy."

Deefleet just waves his jaw gently, indicating Theresa.

"It's not like Mr. Deefreet failed, is it?

"No, it's a failure. It's not like me to get caught up in people's stories. Besides, I didn't know you'd make a mistake until the person you're riding with. So I decided to set the stage with my own hands."

"Staging?"

"I was going to, because I'm going to tell you to luxury yourself. I'll be happy to luxury you."

"... ha"

"What would be good?

Before he hears Kamui's approval, Deefleet is trying to make it a fait accompli for him to go to dinner.

"No, you don't have to be extravagant."

"Meat is still good, isn't it? The steak I had during this time was really delicious. It's meat, but it's melting soft."

"Even though it's a steak? You're not simmering, are you?

The only thing that comes to mind to Kamui when they say soft meat is about soup from the Admiral's place.

"You don't boil steaks, do you? Just bake it. You said the fat in the meat was different. They actually showed it to me, but it's spreading white fat like muscle."

"Heh."

"It's fat, so it melts as soon as I put it on my tongue, so the whole meat feels soft."

"You think you can afford that?

"Yes."

"... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm about to get caught on a steak, Kamui, but I'm trying to get over it.

"I wouldn't do that. This is, well, like, an apology for the other day."

"Um, is that just Kamui?

Serene sandwiched his mouth from next to the reluctant Kamui. I've never even spoken of Serene, such as melting soft meat. Listening to Deefleet, I am strongly attracted to my heart.

And Serene's reaction is convenient if you try Deefleet.

"Why don't you join me, if that's all right?

"Is it true!? I'll go!"

Serene caught it really easy. After this, Deefleet thought that he would make good use of the riding Serene.

"Sele! Don't make up your mind!

"It's not good. You'll never get a chance to eat like that. There's no way I'm gonna miss this chance."

"Eater."

"Shut up. Call me a gastronomer."

Before Deefreet said anything, the two of them started talking.

"Where's the gastronomer? You were delighted that it was delicious and delicious in the back street cafeteria."

"Oh, I'll tell the Admiral"

"It doesn't matter. It's true."

"So Kamui says the food at the Admiral's isn't tasty?

"You didn't say that, did you? It's delicious."

There is absolutely no room for Deefleet to pinch his mouth in the Kamui and Serene discourse.

"Well, I'm pretty sure you're a gastronomer."

"Reason."

"Shut up already. I'll go anyway. Steak, steak."

"Absolutely no choice."

In the end, Diefleet didn't have to do anything, and Serene persuaded Kamui to do it on his own.

It's a familiar situation for Alto and Otto, but Deefreet has never seen these exchanges between the two before, up close.

At first, he was slightly face-eating, but shrugged like he was impressed to see the end of it.

"Mr. Serene, that's amazing."

"Yes?"

"No, I can't believe someone told Kamui-kun to stay here."

"Ha!?

"If you don't want to captivate the king, shoot the horse first. Though I thought I had to start with Alt-kun and Lutz-kun to dictate Kamui. You had a choice, didn't you, Mr. Serene? What would you say in this case? If I wanted to dictate to my husband, would you rather have your wife on your side first?

"Who!" "Never!

"No, I learned this was a good thing. Now, hurry up and make friends with your wife."

Deefreet continues the conversation in total disregard of the two people who deny it with all their might.

"If you're going, let's go."

That's where Alto came in with his mouth. Besides, it's a dialogue that I agree with about going to dinner.

"That, Alt-kun, did you care about that?

"The gaze around me is annoying. They seem more uncomfortable with Mr. Deefreet."

These are the students that Alto is talking about gathering around Claudia. I'm turning my gaze toward you.

They are worried that they will be offended that they are approaching Claudia instead of the Western House.

That's a futile worry. Because Deefleet is not interested in anybody or anywhere but people who think this is it.

"... right. Shall we go?"

"Okay. We need to pick up Lutz on the way."

"You don't say that, do you?

"I'm working out. It's about the end of the day, so just fine."

"Yes. Well, let's go"

In the end, all of Kamui's groups were supposed to participate.

◇ ◇ ◇

An unexpected sight appeared in Matthias' eyes walking through the school yard. Unexpectedly stop and stare at it Matthias.

"What's up?

Hildegand, who was walking in front, heard Matthias stop.

"Give me that."

Matthias pointed to a group of students who emerged from the shadows of the school building. The prominent silver-haired male student walking in front is Kamui. But Matthias was surprised by another male student walking next to that Kamui.

"You're Deefleet. Is Lutz with you..."

The subject of interest to Hildegand is not Kamui, but Lutz.

"Did you follow Lord Deefleet?

"If it doesn't come with us, it will be at Deefleet's. That makes sense to refuse this invitation. I'm sorry, but I can't help it. This time, Deefleet wins."

"But I can't believe he sticks under people..."

"I'm Kamui-kun's subordinate, who was there."

"What I'm saying is that Kamui-kun thing. My impression was that he wasn't the kind of person to follow."

"He's the son of a frontier Viscount, isn't he? If you can be in the Western House line, you'll be happy to follow it downstairs. That's the same here. I don't like to get under women. Do you even have that kind of bias?

Hildegand's rating for Kamui is low. That was really Matthias.

From what I've seen, Deefleet is actively speaking to Kamui. That means Deefleet's purpose lies with Kamui.

Deefleet noticed something Kamui had as well as he did. Hildegand, my lord, doesn't notice that.

"Not really, I think it would be better not to underestimate a human being named Kamui Kreutz"

"Is there something wrong?

Hildegand has the instrumental capacity to honestly listen to his men's voices. We're not just gathering people together as the Oriental Uncle's maid. Speaking of what the shortcomings are, the fact that they are too imprisoned by the nobility's sense of value.

That's why Kamui rejects Hildegand and accepts Deefleet, although not completely.

"This is my imagination, but I think the evaluation around him is a mistake. No, you can say he meant it, and he's letting it happen."

"... why do you think so?

There's no clapping, but Hildegand thought there must be some basis for what Matthias would say.

"It's about Lutz-kun first. Lutz-kun also didn't originally show the power to deserve recognition. One day it suddenly became strong enough to attract the attention around it. Don't they think it's unnatural?

"You want to tell me you were hiding your strength?

"That's right. And it's not like Kamui, the Lord, didn't do the same thing."

"But I'm sure he can't use magic. It's even been tested in elementary school, right?

"Yes, the test has determined that he has no magic power"

"If that's the case, I have to say the ratings around you are correct"

The battle of this world relies so much on magic that you can't imagine something called a battle without magic. No one even tries to improve their natural physical abilities and sharpen their sword skills.

That is why the talent born of it becomes everything, and the family of nobles, knights, who inherit the blood of magical talent, boasts absolute power compared to the civilian population.

"Does Master Hildegand remember standing by when he was injured?

There are still other grounds for Matthias.

"Yeah. I was watching."

"What did they think?

"It's not worse than they say. It's an assessment to that extent."

"Yes, that's right. But how about on the assumption that he can't use magic at all?

Matthias was aware of the preconditions that were falling out of the heads of many.

"... what is the premise that magic cannot be used?

"I looked back at his presence when he was injured after realizing that Rutz-kun, whom I said earlier, was hiding his strength. That's when I saw his sword properly."

"So what do you say?

"I thought I would be able to make that move without any magic at all. I can't conclude."

It was the first time Serene and I were standing together, so even when we were staging, Kamui had to make quite a move. Because of the poor addition and subtraction of Serene.

"But isn't that something that doesn't make much sense? Whether you rely on magic or not, the result is that you're strong."

"So what if he didn't mean it yet in that state? What if magic can actually be used?

If you have the strength to cross each other with other students without magic, that's a hell of a skill.

And once the magic power is multiplied there, how much will its strength be?

"... that would be too much to think about, wouldn't it?

Hildegand denied the idea. That is an idea that goes beyond the common sense of Hildegand.

"I hope so"

"Assuming he is, do you think he's beyond me?

Even though I once uttered a word of denial, it still seems to bother me.

That is also a sign of trust in Matthias. Hildegand believes Matthias is constantly thinking about himself.

"I can't answer you. It's not that he's strong, but I can't imagine what he was capable of when he was."

"That's right. You can't compare the ceiling to the invisible."

"But there are things I can tell."

"What is it?

"If he and Rutz-kun join Lord Deefleet's team, we won't be able to say for sure."

"... can you hit my hand?

Here Hildegand made his decision. That Kamui should move things forward on the assumption that he is not what he thinks he is.

"As I said earlier, I don't think he's the type to follow others easily"

"Can't you..."

"No. That's why I think we'll still make it. He hasn't been fully attached to Lord Deefleet yet."

"Then I'll leave his case to you. identification and solicitation of his prowess. I'm not saying solicitation is absolute. If you don't follow anyone, that's enough."

"I understand. In some cases, Hildegand will be asked to talk to him again."

"Don't say it once, as many times as you need. I'm not going to hate the labor of getting good people."

Without Kamui's knowledge, the battle for Kamui began. This will cause Kamui to live a long and restless college life.

In addition to Deefleet, no one realizes at this point that Hildegand, in fact, has another person with a strong interest in Kamui.
