Muyoku no Seijo wa Okane ni Tokimeku

"What the...!?

Natalia clung to her chest. Beneath that dress was the gold coin of the Dragon Legend, previously given by him.

They used to stare at each other.

Neither said anything.

Eventually, Natalia asked in a low voice.

"... are you serious?

"Oh."

That was Alberto's answer.

and then,

"Excuse me. It's about off-campus learning for tomorrow's junior year."

With a light knock, Bianca came into the room.

She cut words to the atmosphere of the stuck place, frowned and looked out for the two of them.

"... what can I do for you?

The time that was coming to a halt flowed into the words.

Alberto laughed at her sister princess with a smooth trick as usual, and Natalia also bit her lips small again before turning to her as if nothing had happened.

"- I was just letting you fight your opinion on the administration. Master Bianca, what happened? Student club room, etc."

Bianca, a junior academic senior, has no authority or business to enter the student council room originally.

When Natalia darkly pointed that out, she lifted a bunch of paper in a grumpy manner.

"So you're telling me, right? Tomorrow, I came to report on my off-campus studies for the lower grades."

"Destination? Are you purposefully studying off-campus?

Natalia blinked her eyes because those events, to be completed only in the lower grades, are projects that do not need to be shared in particular.

The destination and contents are determined by the instructors with lower grades, and the involvement of the student council is not particularly required.

To her neck tilting cousin, Bianca pointed her lips a little badly.

"... well, I don't think I'm excessive either. Hey, there was something about Leonora."

"Leonora's?

It was Alberto who frowned.

At least I felt signs that my brother was interested, and Bianca continued to feel a little relieved.

"Yeah. I was having tea with Leonora until just now, but I'm finally learning off-campus tomorrow, and when I talked about something like that, she suddenly clouded my face. I don't know, I don't really want to go."

"Does Leonora hate going outdoors?

A hundred million hijacked outings remains for boxed female students.

"That can't be right," Bianca shook as Natalia tilted her neck.

"That kid, the time off, the after-school stuff, apparently the Sabbath, he walks around the campus all the time. Look at the trees, dip your hands in the pond water... you can't possibly hate going out because you seem to like nature so much."

Technically, they are coloring small copper coins that glow behind the bushes and fish that are likely to be eaten swimming in ponds, but from the side, the girl who plays with nature only looked like a spirit who descended into the world of men.

"Mostly, if that kid, in class or whatever, he's not always working hard. I only know what I'm doing once - at a magic presentation, in the morning."

Alberto and the others were annoyed.

According to what I told Kai, the girl seemed sometime depressed on the day of the sorcery presentation when she was to risk her own life.

It's as if I've learned my ominous future.

Bianca lowered her brow worryingly.

"Even if I ask about the circumstances, I just answer, 'Nothing'. Besides, 'cause I don't have time' left like I was in a hurry. I don't care if they do that."

"- Okay, Bianca. So, where are we going this year?

The prince asks Bianca quickly, who thus smells that he has come to consult his brothers and princes in the name of the report.

Bianca nodded relievedly, spreading one of the sheets of paper she had brought to the table.

"Right here. Corwitz Forest. From Richiert... a carriage, maybe two days? Though it doesn't matter because we're going in a transfer formation."

The forms depicted maps of Richiert and its neighborhoods.

She pointed far north of the college. It is a vast forest area, about two large rivers away.

Because of the series of rugged mountains behind the forest that rejected people, people rarely stepped into the forest, and even on the map, that area was only vaguely described.

"... the distance from people is hardly too far away."

"It won't be off-campus learning any closer, and it's too dangerous in the distance."

That's what they say, because in "off-campus learning," students primarily perform sorcery exercises.

Even techniques that cannot be deployed in colleges, such as those that cause explosions and floods, can do so if they are deep in secluded forests.

Nevertheless, destroying nature too boldly buys the wrath of the Spirit, so it was common to take a mentor to forgive it.

"Typically, after an hour or two of magic exercises at most, say, off-campus learning, you know, socialize on a picnic, and so on, right? I don't know what's going on, either, but I'm having a heartbeat... As a junior high school senior, I also pull rates, but that doesn't mean I'm stuck with Leonora. Kai won't be able to participate in anything more than a college event. So..."

Bianca mumbled when she was anxious.

It was painfully disguised as a "report only from junior school seniors," but when we got here, it was also difficult.

She bit her lip a little as she had noticed,

"... I'm worried about Leonora. Please help me, brother, sister Natalia."

With an honest plea in my eyes, I looked up to them both.

Originally, those are the Albertos who were listening seriously, whether that was an official offer from a junior academic or a favor from their sister.

They couldn't get their hair in, "of course," they undertook.

"But Master Bianca. If Leonora is trying to get caught up in something, you should ask her what she's thinking. Again, you have to ask directly."

"Right."

As Natalia points out, Alberto also hammers quickly.

But he put aside a few moments,

"... Bianca. Why don't you ask Leonora again?"

That's what I told my sister princess.

This is the occasion for him to ask himself.

Bianca, wondering, tilted her neck gently and asked her brother, the prince.

"Why? You didn't tell me when I asked. I wonder if Leonora will answer your question."

"No, that's not true."

Natalia watches silently as Alberto laughs bitterly.

How much he really guides the girl - and at the same time how much he suppresses that deviant mind - she figured out to take it in her hands.

Bianca pulls back, "I wonder" if she somehow feels irreversible, although she doesn't know what her intentions are.

But she looked up as if she had come up with something.

"I just wonder if I can catch you by the end of the day for good. He's headed for Master Suheiden. Tell me you need to talk to me about something."

"- What?

Alberto's low voice sounds.

Surprised by the risk, Natalia said, "What?" I asked him.

"Oh...... no"

I do my hand on my chin like I think about something.

But after a moment he quickly turned his heel back when he gave a look as if he had decided to be ready somewhere.

"Hey, I'm going out"

"Please wait! Where are you going?

"To the Cathedral"

It means rushing to the girl who went to see the mentor.

The women tilted their necks in surprise at the prince's attitude as if the crisis were imminent.

"What's wrong with students going to talk to their mentors? Instructor Sukheiden has a reputation for being abusive in his attitude, but for personally consulting with civil nobility?

"I also feel a little too light, but that's it, and the girls students seem obsessed with it. I hear a lot of boys are admiring it like their older brothers by sneaking up on their swords."

That's right.

With a rough but masculine atmosphere, Gustav is becoming a less popular type of man than any previous college lecturer.

Weak male students, whether aristocratic or not, are relentless, and arrogant female students, who come forward in colour, are well said and driven away.

The grotesque remarks also stand out, but on the one hand, he didn't miss the weak shrinking, and any minor cry was a reputation that he would hang out with, by the way.

"Oh, that obsessed girl student, you mean Sister Natalia?

"Hey... what are you talking about!? Wow, I don't think I'm as nice as that abusive lord!

"Oh, really?

The two are somewhat upbeat in a different direction, but Alberto didn't turn his attention to it, he just frowned.

From the attitude he saw to the girl, because it was an unimaginable evaluation.

However,

"... no. Even if Master Suheiden is the man the Holy Knight deserves, he may not be against Leonora."

Alberto had a certain certainty.

"If the information from Senior Kuvanz is true, he may hate Leonora."

"Hate...?

"What do you mean?

Bianca and Natalia also throw romantic stories at unsettled words and ask questions.

Alberto scratched the information brought to him by Rolf, who was good at gathering information, to both of them.

It is the result of an investigation by Rolf, angry at the behavior of his mentor towards the girl, using his connections and intelligence-gathering abilities.

When I first heard that, both Alberto and Oscar were surprised by the speed with which Rolf acted, as well as the complexity of the situation.

"Sister of Instructor Suheiden, 'The Virgin of the Bread Kiln'...?

"A thug citizen may have attacked you...?

The two of you listening to me fade away. Alberto nodded with a rugged face.

"Oh. Instructor Suheiden was secretly moving to stop Harald's ambitions. But Leonora uncovered the conspiracy in a way that preceded it - resulting in a deterioration of civic sentiment. He may resent it."

"Oh no..."

Bianca seeps confusion and anger into its ice-blue eyes.

"That's not how the Harald conspiracy works... But why would Leonora be resented? No, I resent you!

Alberto smiled slightly bitterly at his sister Princess, who had clearly run out of words.

"Exactly. But... Bianca. For example, if someone's behavior triggered you to lose your life, I might not be able to help but resent that person."

That said, I gently stroke Bianca's head.

Bianca jammed the words for a long time and pushed silently.

"- Anyway, something must not happen. We need to go see how it goes."

The prince, who waved his arms to change the air and so bound the story, now turns his heel back and begins to head to the cathedral with his long legs.

"Wow, I'm coming too!

"Me too."

Bianca and Natalia followed it in a hurry, after a moment of seeing each other.
