“Well, I don’t know if I’ll be good at it or not, but I’ll do it once it’s done.”
The blonde girl standing on the podium spoke in an arrogant tone.
The students below them murmured at the girl’s words.
“That’s right… … ?”
“A person called a princess would say something like that… … .”
All the people who were buzzing like this were first graders.
Obviously, I heard that he was a good person in the words of his seniors, but the speech he gave after becoming president was just bewildering.
However, the reactions of the second graders were different.
“Because he’s a guy like that.”
“Even if you say it like that, you do the right thing.”
Public opinion among the second graders was very good.
It was an atmosphere that was much better than a person who only slurred his words.
“More than that, it was Uniphone Listonia.”
At the academy, the student president election was over, and in the end, Uni took the seat.
The reason Uni was able to sit on the chair was thanks to the active support of the sophomores.
When Rudy was at the academy, Yuni followed Rudy around and did various things.
He didn’t care about the chores in Gracie’s lab or the student council.
Thanks to the past of doing chores even though she was a princess, Uni’s reputation among sophomores was very good, and as a result, she was able to sit as the president.
After the speech, Yuni slowly descended from the stage.
“Fufu… … .”
There was a small smile on Yuni’s face.
“I like you so much that I’m the president, so why not do it well?”
“Is that so?”
The students took comfort in seeing Yuni’s smile.
It was because they had never seen Yuni smile so naturally.
Seeing him smile like that when he became president, he had greed for the position and thought he would work hard for the next job.
However, Yuni’s smile was not the smile she gave to the joy of being president.
‘I won. senior.’
A bet with Rudy.
He decided to grant one wish if he became president.
Uni was more happy to win the bet with Rudy than to become president.
‘then… … Go back to your room and tell Rudy-senpai… … .’
“Uni, where are you going?”
Kuhn called Yuni to go back to the room.
“Oh. Aren’t you our vice president?”
Kuhn was the vice president of Uni’s student council.
He had no intention of running the student council again, but when he heard that Uni would become the president, anxiety prevailed.
It is Kun who knows the original character of Uni.
In the past, Rudy was able to control Uni, but now Rudy does not exist.
The people here had to lead the academy.
So Khun decided to play the role of restraining Yuni by crying and eating mustard.
“So where are you going?”
“… … Are you going to the dormitory?”
“Aren’t you going to work for the student council?”
“yes?”
Kuhn grabbed Yuni’s back.
“Are you planning on tinkering from the first day?”
“No, what happened from the first day? On the first day… … .”
“I don’t have time to relax. Things are piled up like a mountain.”
“Oh, no. Just for a second!”
“Wait what? Follow me quickly.”
In that way, Yuni was dragged to the student council room with Kuhn grabbed by the back of her back.

“Ugh, I’m tired.”
I returned to the capital with a tired body and returned to the mansion.
I hadn’t slept properly outside for a few days, and it was natural to be tired because I wandered around strange mountainous areas.
Still, one thing seems to be over.
One of the rebel leaders was also captured, and the battle for Gaju… … .
“uh? Are you here, Rudy?”
Then the maid saw me coming into the mansion and welcomed me.
It seemed that all the maids who had gone on vacation had returned.
I smiled and waved to the maids.
“Isn’t everyone okay?”
The maids’ faces hardened at the words I asked for greetings.
“that is… … .”
“… … What happened?”
“Oh, we didn’t, but… … There is a problem in the capital.”
“In the capital?”
As I tilted my head, the maid continued.
“Jaesang Ophilus has disappeared.”
“… … Ophilus Jae-sang?”
I opened my eyes wide.
that person will disappear.

My heart sank.
“How many days have you been gone?”
“It is now the fourth day. Rudy-nim and Ian-nim disappeared immediately after they left.”
I frowned.
That person suddenly moves?
Ophilus Jason.
Reign of the Empire.
I was suspicious of him as a time magic user.
It was only after I found out that the Imperial Chief Wizard wasn’t a time magic user.
At that time, if there was an incident and reasoned based on the evidence, I doubted that Chancellor Ophilus might be a time magic user.
Of course, there were a lot of other things, so I couldn’t get into the reasoning properly… … .
“How are you doing in the Empire?”
“First of all, we are looking for wanted letters all over the place. Jaesang is old, and he’s not even a wizard… … .”
In the world, Prime Minister Ophilus was known simply as an ordinary person who excelled in administrative work.
He had never seen him use magic, nor was he a swordsman.
“I will find out at once. Let me go in and rest.”
“All right. I will even prepare a bath water.”
I went back to my room and rubbed my chin.

My first thought was that Prime Minister Ophilus was attached to the rebels.
Then why did you come and join the rebels now?
In fact, if the Prime Minister had gone to the rebel side from the beginning, the rebel force would have been greater.
Chancellor Ophilus cannot handle magic or swordsmanship, but he is only recognized for his administrative abilities.
He was the idol of the common people, and it was nothing less than the spirit of a sacrifice.
If such a person said that the empire was corrupt and turned to the rebels, the people of the empire would have completely turned around.
Where the people lose their hearts, nothing remains.
If the rebels occupied only a certain amount of land and established a new state, it was clear that all commoners would turn to the rebels.
Yet he didn’t.
Now come and go to the rebels?
Without revealing your intentions?
You can’t do such an inefficient thing.
“then… … .”
I looked out the window towards the Imperial Palace.
***
next day.
Ian entered the capital.
As soon as I heard the news, I headed to the Imperial Army.
Ian would probably have gone there first.
As soon as I got there, I looked blankly ahead.
“… … .”
Lee was there.
“Rudy Astria. well come Take this guy.”
Astina sighed and said.
As the deputy commander of the Astinaya Imperial Army, it is natural for him to be here, but why is he even in Rie?
I asked Rie with a puzzled face.
“Why are you here?”
“If Ian had returned, you wouldn’t have come.”
“… … So you came to see me? privately?”
Lee shook her head at my words.
“Not completely private. Of course there are personal reasons as well.”
Ian looked at it and sighed.
“I’m tired, so let’s go.”
“Yes, yes. Wouldn’t it be hard to get out?”
Lee said, looking at Ian.
“by the way. What happened to you?”
“Ophilus Prime Minister.”
I hardened my expression at Lee’s words.
It was the same with Astina and Ian.
“Did you find Prime Minister Ophilus?”
“What do you mean? What happened to Prime Minister Ophilus?”
Rie opened her eyes thinly at those words and glared at Ian and Astina.
“Now on a subject where neither of them cooperated?”
Astina sighed.
“If I had said that from the beginning, I wouldn’t have done this.”
Lee slowly walked over and sat down on the chair.
“I don’t have time to joke around anyway, so I’ll tell you quickly. I think Prime Minister Ophilus has been attacked.”
I nodded silently.
It was the same conclusion I reached yesterday while thinking on my own.
Astina asked.
“attack? Evidence?”
“The absence of evidence is evidence. Is there any chance that Chancellor Ophilus suddenly disappears? Where did a normal person fall? Or did you even join the rebels?”
“So you came to me?”
Astina narrowed her eyebrows at my words.
“What do you mean? Rudy Astria.”
“If you were attacked, how could you not leave any evidence?”
Astina tilted her head at my words.
“When they attacked without leaving any evidence… … .”
“No, it’s not that I didn’t leave any evidence.”
Lee smiled bitterly.
“Yeah, that’s my husband. I know right away.”
“husband… … ?”
“Hmm… … .”
At Astina’s reaction, I coughed and looked at Rie.
“You want me to find out if you used time magic?”
“okay. Since you are a space magic user, you might be able to find traces.”
I nodded.
“Then let’s go right away. Can I go right away?”
“Uh, I don’t need to get permission.”
“then… … .”
“I will go too.”
“I’m not going either.”
When Rie and I were about to leave, Astina and Ian also stood up.
“… … What are you two going to do? Ian Astria, didn’t you say you were tired?”
“If you are a space magic user, would I be more helpful?”
“I am going as a deputy commander of the Imperial Army. If the rebels really attacked you, you have to deal with it.”
It was a valid reason.
I turned my head and looked at Lee.
“Lee.”
“… … okay. Let’s all go together.”
We moved after Rie.
