Chapter 112
A secret society of commoners.
A secret club that children of that age could not tolerate met in a secret space behind the half-ruined ‘Every Library’.
“This is clearly anti-First Emperor.”
“Let’s get to the imperial palace.”
“Well, it doesn’t make any sense. “He is the son of a duke.”
“This can’t be happening! “It doesn’t make sense.”
Tom stood up and gritted his teeth.
“A special lecture given to only a very small number of people? “Then what about the rest of the commoners?”
At first glance, my true feelings came out without me realizing it.
“Hmm.”
Catherine coughed and gave notice.
Only then did Tom correct his words.
“Oh, no, that’s not it. That’s what I meant. okay. Forced to give up their precious vacation time? “This is a damn thing!”
“It would be a violation of human rights.”
Hannah said something else.
She vented her anger.
“That’s not the point. “I used magic to force that proud little boy to accept taking classes.”
“Even the ultimate goal is to be dispatched to the first line of defense.”
“Of course. They plan to kill us all. “How do people live in such a cold north in the first place?”
The commoners sympathized with each other.
“This is clearly tyranny using power. It goes against the logic of His Majesty the First Emperor. “Is it okay to be a nobleman?”
“that’s right.”
But most commoners actually
had the same thoughts as Tom said.
‘Why were they chosen and we were not chosen? ‘We are all commoners.’
The cause is a sense of inferiority.
And the end point of this discussion was always Justin.
“Justin, you tell me. “This is clearly oppression of the common people.”
“….”
Justin, who had been staring blankly, came to his senses.
Tom encouraged.
“Hey Justin. You’re not going, are you? “You are not the kind of person who tolerates injustice.”
“I… think it’s a good idea to participate.”
Catherine opened her eyes wide and looked at Justin next to her.
In the past, ever since the banquet hall incident, Justin always seemed to have a screw missing somewhere.
However, except for the occasional dazed appearance, it was the same as usual.
So of course I thought I would stand up this time too.
However, Catherine knew that this opportunity was rare, so she planned to persuade Justin somehow.
But he said he would participate first?
Justin stood up.
“For justice, strength is needed. “If you catch the monster, you will gain strength.”
“….”
As things went against expectations, silence fell among the commoners.
At that time, a faint voice was heard.
“I agree.”
Everyone’s eyes turned towards that direction.
She was an incredibly beautiful girl with black hair.
She approached Justin with brisk steps.
“Because Justin can’t be wrong.”
Catherine bit her lip.
‘What is this again? When did Justin become close with a girl again?’
At that moment, a memory flashed by.
“Wait a minute you.”
I remembered who Catherine was.
“We met at the banquet hall the other day…?”
“Oh, I guess you remember me.”
“…By the way, since when were you a member of a secret society?”
Catherine said she felt a sense of déjà vu.
He frowned, wondering if his memory was wrong.
Lilith said in a bright voice.
“of course. “I decided to join your death squad starting today.”
“ah.”
Catherine nodded in understanding.
‘By the way, it smells good.’
Lilith had a sweet, sweet smell.
It’s a nice scent that’s hard to describe in words.
Lilith said cheerfully, extending her hand to Catherine.
“By the way, the introduction is late. My name is Lilith. “Please feel free to call me Lily.”

Imperial Academy’s student council room.
Irene was looking at the student council, including Damon, as if they were cute.
Damon twitched his eyes and glanced at Irene.
‘Is that Irene Windsor?’
This was my impression of her when I first saw her.
It’s strange.
Eyes that don’t contain any emotion.
But a smiling mouth.
The feeling that if you touch it just a little bit wrong, your head will blow off.
A subversive attitude even though nothing has been done.
‘I understand why you were wary.’
But that’s why I couldn’t imagine her not being the head of the family.
She was a woman with an aura that was just right for the head of the Windsor family.
‘My choice was right.’
Damon was confident once again.
“My friend kept his promise. Now all that remains is our role. “Before that, let me ask you one thing, Ruid.”
Ruid, who was being hugged by Irene who was sitting on a chair, stretched out and yawned in response.
“huh.”
“Are you going to help the student council?”
“As long as it’s not an unreasonable request?”
Ruid answered positively.
Without that kind of determination, there was no way Irene would have been called into the system.
“good night. Then, Ruid, please ask for training from the Ministry of Magic. The swordsmanship class is all about strength right away, so all you have to do is learn how to deal with monsters. “I will leave it to Amelia Windsor.”
‘I just need to teach you one great magic trick.’
Ruid thought simply.
Take care of the parts you have no choice but to leave the rest to Ella.
If you develop a magic circle, Ella will improve it to suit each student’s individual level.
In short, I’m going to beat up my assistant. Because it’s a professor.
“Amelia says no.”
At that time, Irene, who was quietly observing the situation, opened her mouth.
“May I ask why?”
“If your plan is to go as the first line of defense, Amelia will be the leader. “Maybe we should practice in advance, right?”
Amelia, if nothing else, is good at catching monsters.
Her specialty, releasing magic power, is perfect for dealing with monsters.
Moreover, I knew that what Irene had ordered Charles to do was to deal with ‘humans’, not with monsters.
Ruid raised his head and looked up.
The corners of Irene’s smiling mouth are visible.
‘liar.’
Irene felt Ruid’s gaze and lowered her head.
Her blonde hair tickled Luid’s cheek.
Irene held Ruid’s cheeks with one hand and kneaded them.
“Right. “Then, would you please watch the swordsmanship club?”
“…!”
Hersy, who was trembling like a rabbit because she was scared of Irene, was surprised to hear Damon’s words.
I know that Ruid brought Irene into the system for that purpose, but for some reason, Irene felt like an untouchable being.
“Do it.”
Ruid provided support fire.
Irene responded by stroking Ruid’s head.
“There is no reason to teach knights and wizards separately.”
Irene spoke softly.
“Wouldn’t Louis teach everything?”
To Ruid, that sounded like a bolt from the blue!
“I don’t know swords.”
Irene’s smile deepened.
I wrapped my arms around Ruid’s shoulders and whispered in his ear.
“really?”
“…I don’t know.”
“Really, don’t you know?”
Ruid’s body trembled. It was tickling because I was whispering in my ear.
“Joe, I know a little bit.”
First of all, Windsor was a knightly family.
Ruid also received some required education. So, even though it was just in my head…
it was really nonsense.
“But it’s not at a level that’s helpful.”
“It’s a joke. There is no need for Louis to teach him how to use a sword. But…”
Ruid spoke hastily, fearing that he would have to shoulder something troublesome.
“Then, my sister can teach the swordsmanship club. This is over. “I’m going to sleep.”
Ruid tried to get down from above Irene.
However, Irene did not let go, holding on to Ruid’s waist.
“I will be there to help you, would you like to give it a try?”
Hercy watched with a tense expression.
‘Luid would never do that.’
In Hercy’s view, teaching students at the Ministry of Magic was the Maginot Line.
There is no need to teach the swordsmanship department as well.
But-
“Okay.”
Ruid just looked a little annoyed and simply accepted.
“That’s amazing.”
Irene smiled brightly and stroked Ruid’s head.
And then he looked at Damon intently.
“You are the highest ranking child here.”
“…exactly.”
“I heard that you take good care of Louis.”
“Hmph, there’s nothing to take care of. “Because we’re friends.”
Irene smiled quietly.
“Can you do me a favor?”
“Speak.”
“This is a request to everyone here.”
Irene slowly prepared to get up from her seat.
“Please continue to get along well with Louis. Then – as a reward, I will kill your political opponent.”
“…”
There was silence at the sound of killing silence.
Ruid covered Irene’s mouth.
“Is that what you’re going to say to the kids?”
“Hmm…”
Irene thought it was refreshing when her oldest child, Ruid, said something like that.
He said with a bright smile.
“It was a joke. “I guess it wasn’t fun.”
‘It’s a joke…!’
I always think about this, but Irene’s sense of humor was so desperate that it was almost pitiful.
This is why I still don’t have an engagement partner.
‘I can’t help it.’
Irene was also a Ruid who decided to live with Irene for the rest of her life.
**
“Her name is Ella. “My favorite assistant.”
“hello!”
Ella bowed her head.
Irene nodded as she looked at Ella, who was slightly taller than herself.
“This is Louis’ favorite award.”
“yes?”
“It’s like a skinny polar bear, so cute.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Ella’s cheeks turned red.
Ruid felt cold and salty.
‘…It’s a compliment, right?’
Since the person concerned liked it, there was nothing to say.
“If you’re Ruid’s assistant, you’re like an aide.”
Irene sat on the sofa.
I tapped the seat next to me.
Ruid pushed Ella’s back.
“W-what?”
Ella stumbled and landed next to Irene.
“To be by Ruid’s side, you need those qualifications. I’ll ask you a few questions, so answer them. “The answer is only a short answer to the question.”
‘Ugh, that old guy.’
However, Ruid felt good because it seemed like Irene valued him.
Although Ella seemed very nervous, she wasn’t particularly worried.
Ella is an all-round genius magical girl.
I think I can easily pass Irene’s test.
“What is Ruid’s favorite food?”
“Bar, baguette…?”
Irene’s face was colored with disappointment.
“Uh, mushrooms? grass?”
Irene’s face brightened.
“You’re smart.”
‘The level of difficulty is too poor…!’
Ruid slumped his shoulders.
“What is Ruid’s specialty? “Not the obvious things like magic.”
Ella was worried with a serious face.
“Running away?”
“That’s an accurate insight. But there are areas where you are more talented than that.”
“…attractiveness? Reminder? Do whatever you want? “Pampering me?”
Luid’s face was stained with shame.
“When did I!”
Irene touched her lips.
“You are a very capable assistant. “Good job, Louis.”
“….”
Ruid was greatly shocked.
Does that mean that’s how you see yourself as viewed by a third party?
Do you shift responsibility to others, run away when you’re wrong, and act cute when you’re at a disadvantage?
No, I couldn’t admit it.
‘Are you flirting with a professor about being a research slave? You should get scolded.’
“Ella.”
“Yes, yes.”
Ella looked at Ruid’s notice.
I thought it was too harsh.
And the prediction was accurate.
Ruid said with gloomy eyes.
“Create a training plan that allows me to be as efficient as possible with minimal movement. “Within today. If you fail, you will be banned from research for a while and will live only with my pillow.”
“…!”
Ruid decided to pamper Ella until she died.
First of all, I have to work overtime starting today.
