233. A glimpse into the future (1)
“I guess you would have scolded me appropriately by now.”
I had already noticed that Leah and Lydia were watching me from afar.
That’s why I deliberately stayed away while the two were educating the girls.
“Let’s go soon.”
As quite a bit of time passed, I slowly headed towards the back alley.
Soon.
I saw documents scattered on the floor and girls kneeling on them.
“Is there something going on there?”
I calmly entered the alley, pretending not to know anything.
Then, the girl reporters trembled as if they had become different people without even seeing them.
“I’m sorry, Marquis…. We don’t even know fractions….”
Silver Rain was so frightened that her voice was shaking.
Her assistants also bowed their heads.
“No, we are reporters. What are you doing here? “I’m sorry, but what else am I sorry about?”
The girls glanced up at my calm question.
And then, I looked at the two princesses who were radiating hot heat from inside their masks.
“Well, I didn’t dare recognize who it was and committed rudeness… !!”
Apart from the strong corporal punishment, they don’t seem to know what they did wrong.
So I bent my knees and made eye contact with them.
“I didn’t recognize who it was…” . “I don’t think that’s just what you did wrong.”
Silver Lane’s once relaxed eyes were filled with fear.
Her eyes were longing for the right answer, as if she wanted to escape from this place somehow.
“You don’t know the fundamental problem.”
I glanced back at the princesses.
And then, he silently greeted them with his eyes and asked for their understanding for a moment.
“….”
The noble women in school uniform nodded calmly.
Thanks to you, I was able to have honest conversations with the girls for a while.
“If you are a reporter’s club, the ultimate goal is to become a royal reporter, right?”
“Yes….”
The dream trees nodded their heads in unison.
It looked like chicks sitting in a row.
“Then do you know someone named Victor?”
“Oh, I know…. “He is a famous senior from our academy.”
I chuckled when I heard that the kids looked up to him.
I felt like we could communicate better now.
“He is. We always carefully selected only the information as it was and disclosed it honestly to the world. “I didn’t even add any modifiers because I was afraid there would be too much information.”
She pointed at Silver Rain’s blue eyes with her finger.
And, he gave me serious advice.
“Do you think that Victor will see your actions now and think that you are proud juniors?”
The young reporters were speechless at my question.
They often avoided my gaze because they were embarrassed by their behavior.
“Victor was always running around with his own two feet to find his scoop. And, he found it on his own.”
I remembered him showing up at every location looking for information.
“If you haven’t seen and experienced it yourself, don’t think about writing an article. “If there is even a little bit of fabrication or excess, there may be unfair victims.”
I gazed at Silver Rain’s silver crown.
Then I slowly stroked it.
“When an innocent victim occurs, the karma is bound to come back to them someday.”
I have seen many people living well by ignoring others.
However, few of them were happy until the end.
Looper, who harassed Miya and ran a vicious business, fell.
Rather, an honest reporter like Victor has been recognized by the imperial family and is enjoying a long run.
“If you respect your seniors, you will always work honestly like them. “You don’t know, right?”
I patted the shoulders of children who still had room for rehabilitation.
And then, he smiled broadly with his characteristic thin eyes.
“Shall I tell Victor the news about you guys?”
The depressed girls’ eyes lit up when they heard that they were close friends with a legendary senior.
“I really… ?”
“Of course. Of course, when you do something honest enough to be praised-.”
The turtle dove reporters repeatedly expressed their gratitude to me, saying that they were very grateful.
Every time the girls lowered their heads, their tangled hair fluttered vigorously.
“Okay, thank you…” !!”
“From now on, I will only report honestly… !!”
I slowly raised my knees.
And then, he asked the princesses who were standing silently in the back.
“Hwang… , No, students, can you please forgive me now? “I’m going to be a good reporter in the future.”
Lydia was the first to respond to my request.
She placed her hands on her waist and answered with a cold expression.
“It’s a shame. “I was going to break all ten of her fingers and make her have to take off her shoes to hold her pen.”
“Hey, hey…” !!”
At those words, the girls all shrugged their shoulders.
Then, Leah also added something.
“Oh my, junior. That’s so cruel. “I think raising it from the 5th floor up about 20 times and then dropping it would be appropriate.”
Leah, an active soldier, spoke with her blue eyes sparkling in the shadows.
Like an alpha lioness.
“It’s good and doesn’t leave any scars, right?”
I swallowed deeply at the sight of the merciless princesses.
And then, like a sly fox, he grinned and joined them.
“A-. Even children would understand this much. Everyone makes a big mistake when they’re young, right? “As you go through things, you become more mature.”
Leah glanced up at me at my sly words.
And then….
“Hmm-. “Vail is good at disciplining children kindly, isn’t he?”
Her mature eyes showed a naughty smile.
“I’m looking forward to it. “I wonder how well she will teach her own children.”
At Leah’s words, Lydia also sneakily came to my side.
And then, she whispered quietly.
“It’s perfect since I’ll be making the money anyway.”
The third princess commands the most populous area in the capital.
The first princess, the owner of the richest village.
The sweet and bloody whispers of the two people automatically sent a chill down my spine.
“hahahahaha…. Would you like to go outside now? “It seems like the air is not good because it is a back alley.”
“Yes, ‘health’ is the most important.”

As I urged, the princesses also prepared to leave.
They glanced back at the girls who were kneeling and punishing them.
And then, he warned with his fierce eyes like a wild beast.
“hehehe, hehehe… !!”
The girls bowed their heads at the might of the King of Conqueror, whom they had encountered for the first time in their lives.
And then, I waited with bated breath until the sound of the princesses’ footsteps completely disappeared.
――――――.
“Go, go…” ?”
“Yes, I think everyone is gone…” .”
“Phew…. I was really bored….”
Aspiring reporters, including Silverlane, patted their cramped thighs from kneeling for a long time.
And then, I started picking up the gossip scattered on the floor.
“But…. Those seniors somehow didn’t look familiar to me… ?”
“Yes, I felt like some kind of celebrity…” .”
It felt beautifully familiar, as if I had often seen it in the newspaper.
The prospective reporters had a keen eye for attention.
“The blonde senior was especially cool. Her body is beautiful too….”
“I am a small senior. Earlier, when you stretched out your foot next to my face and hit me…. “She was totally cool.”
Silverlane was dazed as if she had awakened to feelings she didn’t know she had.
“You’re in the world of sports with a cute appearance…. I want to see if it’s in the attendance register….”
“Senior, the Marquis told me not to do that again…” .”
“Just…” . I’m just curious….”
Silver Lane responded in a calm tone to the sight of his assistant who had come to his senses.
And finally, we went through the collected documents together.
“Did you find all the scoops?”
“Oh, no…” . How many are empty? ?”
The assistant with long black hair covering his bangs answered in an embarrassed voice.
“What disappeared?”
In response to the chairman’s question, the assistants each recited the information they had lost.
“It’s a collection of witchcraft and the occult.”
“I’m planning a new costume project at Northon Casino.”
Silverrain sighed heavily.
And, he personally confirmed exactly what information was lost.
“With the fortune teller’s hypnotic bead…. “It’s a new costume being prepared at the casino this time.”
The club president thought so because the hypnosis bead was a magical object.
However, I asked the assistant why he was researching obscene information such as the host girl’s costume.
“Hey, why did you look into things like costumes?”
“Wow, there’s so much boring information around…. I thought I could make some money if I sold it to male students….”
The chairman’s lips parted at the amazing business acumen.
However, due to the promise I made with Veil, I decided to forget this information for now.
“Really…. It’s such an amazing outfit that boys are interested in it….”
Silver Rain clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Then, his long-haired assistant raised a sullen eyebrow.
“I didn’t really know, but I said it was very different…. Was the concept ‘rabbit’? ?”
“What-? Rabbit-?”
The silver-haired girl burst into laughter.
“If you’re in a casino, you’ll usually prefer slutty outfits. “Why is it a rabbit all of a sudden?”
“That’s right, rabbits are cute.”
Silver Lane laughed at the project, saying it was a failed project.
The same goes for other assistants.
The three female students quickly forgot about the casino special report, saying that it was better.
「――――――」
After leaving the back alley, I was accompanied by two female students wearing masks.
One of them is wearing a dress shirt that is bursting with magic and a skirt that is so tight that it makes one walk awkwardly.
The other one had black pigtails and a slim, petite body.
The faint mana of the knights guarding the two can be felt from afar.
No matter how you look at them, they looked very suspicious to be considered simple academy female students.
“Your Highness, what on earth is going on here…?” ?”
When I asked, Lydia smiled brightly like her little devil.
Perhaps because she was wearing a mask, my eyes were drawn to her red eyes even more than usual.
“Tell me-. Her real name is a student in this area. “
‘Which student introduces herself as the real girl…? .’
I sighed deeply and looked at Leah.
However, unlike Lydia, who was petite in appearance, the 1st princess was a bit taller.
“I am a student dispatched from the Magic Tower.”
‘A student wore a black lace bra with voluptuous skin so much that the button gap was gaping…’ . No…. Yeah, no….’
“I understand. So, what brought you two here?”
He smiled brightly like a schoolboy, as if he was adapting to the girls’ play.
“I heard there is a brave fortune teller around here-.”
Leah said leisurely, turning behind her back.
There was a confidential paper document wedged between her knuckles.
“I also have a reason to stop by this entertainment district.”
Lydia was the same.
The two princesses each had something to hide.
‘They both look suspicious just by looking at them… ?’
“Good. In that case, since we have already met, I will personally escort you.”
When I spoke confidently, the princesses all refused.
“Huh? No, we can go by ourselves.”
“Yes, Veil. “It’s a long-awaited break, so please rest comfortably.”
I had a funny feeling about the girls trying so hard to refuse.
So, he spoke with his thin eyes flashing like a fox.
“No-. I specialize in the northern part of the capital. We may be able to find a shortcut for you. “Isn’t time money?”
The two princesses hesitated for a moment at my sly attitude.
Then, they calmly told us their respective destinations.
“I am an alchemist workshop.”
“It’s a shame, I’m in the entertainment district on the other side-.”
Lydia took a step back, as if desperately trying to hide what she was doing.
The document in her hand had the word ‘rabbit’ written on it.
“Then let the two of you go first. “I’m on the other side, so don’t go alone.”
The youngest princess hid her grinning lips as she turned around.
She then exchanged silent signals with Leah with her fingers.
Following the eastern knights visible in the distance, we gradually got further and further away.
“An entertainment district…. Are you really planning to build a large casino in the north? ?”
As I calmly looked at Lydia’s back, Leah gently crossed her arms.
With very skillful workmanship.
“Well, since this has come to an end, let’s go on our own.”
Her voluptuous skin gently touched my wrist.
It felt like her static electricity was splashed by her soft and warm touch.
“Why is it so awkward? “You should act naturally like girls and boys.”
Leah had no choice but to pretend to disguise herself.
However, her eyes were smiling leisurely.
‘If you look closely, it seems like he’s become more sly than me these days….’
Her I walked side by side with her, scratching her cheek with her fingers.
And then, she stopped in front of the alchemist’s workshop that she had visited with Irina in the past.
「We will see your ‘future’ with just 1 gold!!」
「Has a large number of various alchemy equipment!! Selling it cheaply!!”
“Is this the place you should come to?” ?”
An advertisement written in neat letters on a blackboard in front of the workshop.
We arrived at the door looking at the advertisement together.
“Yes, I heard there is an interesting ‘thing’.”
Leah pulled the doorknob herself.
Looking at her like that, I thought for a moment about the two words ‘future’ and ‘object’.
‘It’s my future…’ .’
I have had the experience of going back to the past.
I don’t know my future….
I hope it won’t be a hassle to wander around the battlefield like before.
If possible, I hope you feel like an unemployed person relaxing at home….
