The dean’s office was in the building right next to Adrine’s dormitory. The building that the soldiers called the ‘Falli Building’ was also the building where the administrative unit was located. Hoan, who accompanied her to the dean’s office, seemed to understand Adrine’s hesitance to knock.
‘Has the fact that she is the princess reached the dean’s ears?’
Other than that, I couldn’t guess why the head of the academy had summoned a student.
“I will be waiting here.”
“Hoando… Do you think it could be the work of older sisters or older brothers?”
“I don’t know.”
Adrin nodded weakly, then knocked on the door.
smart smart
The answer came right away.
“Come in.”
Adrin opened the door to the dean’s office and entered.
The first impression of the dean’s office was that it felt like a small botanical garden. Various flower pots were arranged in each window, and vases with flower arrangements were placed on the desk and reception table behind them. Wearing a monocle, the dean gave a small silent bow and spread his palms as if to sit down.
“Are you comfortable with polite words or flat words?”
Adrin almost gritted her teeth. The dean’s question is like, ‘Should I treat you as the princess or as a student?’
I don’t know the route, but the dean knows her identity.
“You can treat me comfortably.”
“okay. Sit comfortably too. If you want a cup of tea, give me my cup.”
“it’s okay.”
The head of an academy with 100,000 soldiers under his command. First of all, Adrine was a little surprised that the first impression was ordinary. Aside from those expensive monocles, there was no sign of extravagance on his body.
Are you the easy-going type?
The other person approached with a comfortable tone and sat across from Adrine.
“I received an interesting report from the commander who led your march.”
“What kind of report was it?”
“He led the children by example.”
“… me?”
“okay. It is rare for a leader on a march to convey the performance of his teammates. Hearing that, you must have suffered a lot.”
Adrin seemed to know why she was called. When he returned from the long march, he himself heard what Yohan had said to Hansoo.
‘If possible, please highlight Adrine’s performance.’
At that time, a boy named Sabaki suddenly spoke to me, so I couldn’t speak Katabuta. Looking at the current situation, it seemed that Hansoo had listened to Yohan’s request anyway.
“I didn’t do much. Everything is with Private Hansu, who was the leader… .”
“Private Hansoo?”
“… It was all thanks to the children who listened to him well.”
“You are a humble child.”
I never thought about whether I was on the humble side. But I know one person who doesn’t like to go out.
Johann Esperts was just such a character. Otherwise, she would have been very emphatic about his performance.
“I don’t think you called me to compliment me.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Of course, the dean must be busy.”
He is the dean of the academy. In the empire where the emperor passed away, he is the person most closely related to the life-and-death war of that empire.
Looking at the academy’s mixed interests alone, if you were asked to pick a person who could make the rebellion successful, he would definitely be in the top five.
That’s what he called himself.
“Okay then… You seem to want that too, so don’t ask directly.”
He was not an intimidating figure. A benevolent face with an appearance that appears to be in the mid-50s. He blew on the tea in his hand and sipped his throat.
“Do you want to be the school principal?”
Adrine pretended to be Taeyeon and asked again.
“… May I ask why you are asking such a question?”
“Because you came here to get rid of your sisters and brothers.”
Adrine thought she was good at refusing the tea. If he had been holding a teacup, his hands would have been trembling.
Adrinne glanced at the dean’s expression, but he only looked at her with deep, benevolent eyes.
“Ask me again. Do you want to build your own power base here at the academy?”
she thought reflectively.
‘Will the dean become an enemy?’

No matter how he looked, the academy’s president couldn’t be an easygoing person. She also thought that if her true identity was exposed, it would be a question she would surely face.
And Adrine knew through experience.
There are moments like that in life.
Like the intersection of a crossroads from which there is no return, the moment when a single answer determines one’s future life.
Before leaving the palace, ‘Do you want to run away like this?’ Hoan’s question was like that. According to that answer, Hoan became his guardian knight, and he himself entered the academy here.
After coming to the academy, ‘if you really want to speak justice, wouldn’t it be the first step to save the person who was framed for assassination?’ So did John’s question. Something he had awakened made her stand in front of someone.
‘Do you want to be the school principal?’
I would have said yes.
‘Do you want to build your power base here at the academy?’
I would have said that too.
If only it had been before she met John.
In this world, there are people who are born as heavenly leaders. Not because of his class, but because of his temperament. And she thought she was that kind of person.
That was until I met John.
“You can think slowly and answer. First of all, Private First Class Hansoo was promoted for this job. And for students who have worked hard, additional support will be given according to the date of hardship. But in your case, I don’t think you really need any subsidies. That’s why we created this place.”
Seeing the dean sitting back comfortably, she seemed to know a little about the person called the dean. There will be no one who comes here without tension. He must have placed several plants here to reassure them.
First of all, she appreciated the dean for not rushing for an answer. And it was rude to make him wait any longer.
She said with her fists clenched.
“Dean. I… .”
***
The dorm room after a long absence.
But I couldn’t fully relax. It was because of two uninvited guests who came to my room.
“Brother John, brother John… .”
Ida wept bitterly. It didn’t matter much to me. Unless this girl is beating my chest and crying.
On the other hand, Evangeles’s joy was expressed in the opposite way.
The boy blushed and said.
“You man! I thought you were behind!”
“Well… , I’m sorry. to worry about.”
“You shouldn’t have even written a letter!”
“Say something that makes sense. How do you write a letter there?”
“shut up! before kicking them out!”
“… In case you forgot, this is my room.”
Evangeles squealed for a while longer, and Ida cried for a long time. Ida finally lifted her head, wiped the tears and mucus from her face, and spoke.
“Do you know what I was thinking?”
I was not curious.
“I’m just going to volunteer for the march… Then I thought I could have protected my brother.”
I didn’t ask.
I couldn’t even wash, and I was barely wiping the sweat with a towel. The time indicated by the clock tower is 4:24. It was a long time before the roll call.
“Did anything special happen?”
“what?”
“There is an election for the grade president soon. Ida, since you are in the administrative squad, do you have any news?”
After sniffing a few times, Ida said.
“A few kids from prominent families applied… . Everyone has canceled their participation now… . Do you remember that big brother back then? You came to visit my brother during math class.”
“Frodo Jackal.”
“yes. That older brother was the first to apply for the grade president. The other kids seemed to be stunned when they heard that, so no one seemed to want to apply. It’s going to be a one-man election like this.”
When the word jackal came up, Evangeles added.
“Are you a good kid? There is also a bold side. While your return was delayed, he comforted me several times, saying that he would come back… . I also check to see if your group has returned every time… .”
guess Jackal probably wasn’t worried about me. You must have been worried about the return of your competitor.
“I’ll make a seat for you, so you and Yohan should talk to him. I’m Chansung, that such a kid becomes the grade president.”
It makes me reaffirm my disadvantage. Return is 3 days late. Originally, those three days were the time to get close to the children, build a network, and prepare for the election.
“It’s okay to make a seat.”
“… why?”
“I have someone I want to push aside.”
Ida said with a pricked ear.
“Eh? who?”
“Adrinne, remember? You must have seen it once.”
“… where?”
“I saw it once at the Great Parade. It’s like a dormitory with you.”
Her tone seemed to be suffocating.
“Is that a name you’ve never heard of?”
“The day I walked to the brothel with you and came back… . Why is the girl I met at the place where the plaster statue was built?”
There was a hint of snoring, but Ida’s voice was sharp.
“Ah, the girl who pretended to be pretty at the time?”
“… … .”
“Do you want to take a picture of yourself?”
Ida looked sullen, and Evangeles looked obviously startled. It was an understandable reaction. Anyway, it’s the first time I’ve talked about a woman with my own mouth.
“It’s not like that… Anyway, I want to push him.”
I stared at the two people of the same country, who had no particular agreement.
‘I have to make up for the 3 days.’
I know.
A rough picture of the elections taking place in the original scenario. Among them, Ida and Evangeles are portrayed as characters who have little interest in the election. Not even running for office, but in the election itself.
It can only be assumed that such people are referring to jackals for one reason.
The character of the jackal itself became famous. To the extent that the news reached the academy’s administrative team.
There is one guess as to what made the jackal like that.
As soon as the character Jackal acknowledges his competitor, he becomes very aggressive. That is why they are preparing more actively for elections.
Jackal’s competitor has appeared.
The competitor defeated an opponent he had failed to defeat – Bastia – and became more famous than himself among the children, and finally refused his offer.
Of course, this is all my story. And all of these things happened because Sabaki was away during the [Bastia’s Shining Ceremony].
There is a standard way to attack Adrine to be elected in the [Grade Principal Election]. In the first place, it is not to be checked by the jackal. Working under the water without being marked, and turning the game upside down at the last minute.
But this is already impossible. All that remains is a head-to-head battle.
Considering that the [Grade President Election] is a week-long event, I now have four days left.
Well, first of all, I need to get some rest.
“I want to wash up.”
Ida, who had been staring at me, left the room with an expression of determination. However, Evangeles stopped following his younger brother. He was holding on to my doorknob.
“Evangeles?”
Evangeles did not answer with his back turned. I waited for the guy’s reaction with a feeling of being like that. After a while, the guy quietly pushed the door open and said with his back still.
“John.”
“why.”
“That Adrinne was a girl, right?”
“… Do you really have to say it so pathetically?”
Evangeles was silent for a moment.
“okay. If you have a kid you really like, it’s a pleasure as a friend. I can cheer you on, or help you if you want. I’m serious.”
“… Not like that-”
“Listen to me!”
Eh?
I was a little surprised by Evangeles’ fierce reaction. And I almost laughed at the guy’s continued words.
“We are no longer children.”
I think I saw a similar meme on the internet a long time ago. Elementary school students talking seriously about life, something like that. It was fortunate that Evangeles couldn’t see my expression. Because I was desperately holding back a laugh.
“If you have someone you like, make it clear to Ida.”
I had no words to answer.
“You know, he likes you.”
Evangeles seemed to have a lot to say. He continued to catch his breath with his back turned to me, then quietly opened the door and left.
“Whoa… .”
I took a deep breath spontaneously.
I know. What happens to Ida Hermes in the true ending route of ‘The Savior from Another World’.
She is a character who is abandoned after only having one-sided love.
And my behavior in this situation is one. Just like in [The Academy’s Troubles], I don’t empathize with the characters unnecessarily.
The next day, when I went to take a swordsmanship class, I heard an interesting rumor.
It was a rumor that I was gay, and it came from every source.
