“Then what should I do now?”
After organizing Fatma and her little belongings in the cellar, we had to decide what to do next.
“The simplest way would be for me to use them as servants.”
To say it was simple, I couldn’t think of any other way.
“He must have a lot to teach you, but he seems to have a quick understanding and I think he will quickly become a useful servant. It seems like it would be difficult to make them work outside.”
The evaluation of Katyusha’s Fatma wasn’t too bad either. Even if they didn’t communicate well, Fatma was quick to grasp the nuances and moods, and her younger siblings were docile, so it didn’t feel too difficult to deal with. If it’s a communication problem, you have no choice but to seek help from Mustafa or Mi-ryung.
“I guess so. … … But that’s not enough.”
However, I didn’t like the idea of organizing things like that.
“I can’t be satisfied with just hiding it secretly. I want to face the bullsh*t of the corps commander who says that mixed races are blood-stained people.”
I can’t understand it without feeding the corps commander who caused Mustafa’s anger and my displeasure.
“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get refreshed without giving that asshole a shot.”
It may be a somewhat unreasonable, emotional judgment.
“That’s simple.”
Dimitri was the first to speak while everyone was worried.
“It could be achieved by winning the Coliseum.”
In a confident voice, Dimitri mentioned an important event that had been briefly forgotten.
“ah! By any chance, are you using the reward?”
“indeed.”
Mi-ryung and Mustafa reacted as if they realized it belatedly.
“… … Come to think of it, what was the reward for winning the Colosseum?”

But I had no clue whatsoever.
“Eh, didn’t you know?!”
Mi-ryeong was shocked. Dimitri and Mustafa flinched as if a little surprised.
“I don’t know either. What was it?”
Meanwhile, Katyusha also raised her hand and asked politely. I wasn’t the only one who didn’t know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate.
“You two, didn’t you know that while you were both participating?”
“Because I didn’t care about anything other than honor.”
“I was just wondering how far I could go on my own, but I didn’t think about compensation.”
Mustafa was silent, with an expression that seemed to understand but not understand. Fatma, who was sitting nearby, looked at me with an anxious gaze, as if she felt something heavy. I shook my hand and said it was okay.
“In a way, you seem like a crown prince… … . First of all, if you use the rights given to the victors of the Colosseum, you will be able to make Fatma and her siblings iron-blooded citizens.”
“Is that possible?”
“yes. Among the rights of the winner, because there is an amendment to the law.”
“… … what?”
Something far greater than I thought came out, and I questioned my ears suspiciously.
“One law can be amended or rewritten.”
“Did you have such an unconventional right?”
“yes. In reality, it’s a nameless right, but if the Crown Prince demands it, it won’t be a story that can be ignored.”
“Are you famous?”
“Even if you say that, in reality the cadets of the cadets have complicated interests to change the law, so in the end, most of them ended up just revising the rules of the cadets. First of all, it is true that we have the right to change even Sangvisi’s law according to regulations.”
“hmm. Was there such a privilege… … . Looking back, I think I heard it.”
It was a story that came out like passing by in the original. However, in the end, the winner of the original Colosseum was Caspal, and as Dimitri explained, it was tedious and in fact treated like a ‘non-existent setting’, so it did not remain in my memory.
But even if it was such a nameless right, if I, the crown prince, demanded it, the weight would be completely different. You will have no choice but to listen.
“That nameless right, if it were me, I could use it properly. understood.”
I was convinced If he had such a right, he would be able to make the corps commander’s nonsense go away and make Fatma and his younger siblings part of the Iron Blooded people.
“Then what did Proud, the last winner, do with the privilege?”
At the same time, I was a little nervous and asked Dimitri.
“I think I doubled the library’s circulation.”
“… … Was that the only thing you could do with that privilege?”
After listening to it, it was a little more trivial than I thought, so I lost steam a little. Come to think of it, I must have broken all the windows while experimenting with a prototype magic stone quite some time ago. I remember leaving Proud to take care of it properly. Looking back, I did pretty bad things.
“It is a privilege that is not known. However, if the Crown Prince uses it, he will never ignore it.”
“good. Then let me write as much as others have not written until now.”
A great privilege was hidden in an unexpected place. If I use him, it will be possible to give the corps commander a shot, and to confidently bring Fatma and his two younger siblings under me.
“… … But do you two have anything to do with it? Even if it was a school rule of a knight academy, if you could add something, there must have been something you wanted to do.”
“In the first place, at the time the Crown Prince participated, I was thinking that winning would be impossible.”
When I asked, Mi-ryung shook her hand saying it was not so.
“It would be nice if there was a team championship, but judging from the rules known so far, there is only one winner in the end. If that’s the case, it’s easier for us to decide that the crown prince will win from the beginning.”
Dimitri replied calmly, as if he had already thought about it.
“is it. I feel a little bit sorry. Then, I would like to ask you one question. If you win the two, what revision would you like to apply for?”
When I asked, Dimitri and Mi-ryung glanced at each other.
“… … I wanted to forbid calling a beastman a beast.”
Dimitri was the first to speak.
“oh. It’s okay, it’s okay. I don’t really care about that.”
Mi-ryung showed a happy reaction to Dimitri who was slightly embarrassed.
“Oh, well. I am… … It was about wishing we could go hunting together if we got permission on a holiday. It would be quite fun if we all went hunting together.”
What wasn’t so great was a beautiful request.
“is it. Good idea. Let me remember.”
But I have no intention of cutting it down. I answered them and glanced at Fatma, who was watching us from the corner. Fatma was a little uneasy, but she was sending her trusting gaze.
‘This has become a bigger problem than I thought.’
The Colosseum is no longer just a fight for honor.
Weekdays have arrived after a busy weekend.
“… … This time, the corps commander said he would come to watch.”
“Right.”
I gave a brief reply to Proud, who was writing documents in the student council room and talking with a haggard expression.
“You’re not too surprised.”
“He’s not even my boss, so what’s there to worry about? He is the one who ordered the rules of the Colosseum to be changed, so he will come.”
In fact, since it was also found in the original work, I was just calm, but I tried to bluff it.
“Certainly so. To the crown prince, to the corps commander, to the corps commander’s younger sister, and now to the corps commander again. I don’t think I’ll be surprised anymore if His Majesty the Emperor comes next time… … .”
Proud said with a wry smile.
“The coming of the emperor is scary even if it is me. I’m not saying anything sinister for nothing, Proud.”
“Since nothing has ended quietly lately, this Colosseum only has an ominous feeling… … .”
“You have suffered a lot in your later years, Proud. It will be a little easier when you graduate.”
The character who had the most trouble with my admission is probably this guy. Still, after graduating, he was a poor guy in the original work, but he will be better than that in reality. He’s going to come under me once.
I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not.
“To put it nicely, these are days of fulfillment. Are the preparations going well, Crown Prince?”
“… … Well, if it goes well, will it go well?”
The first thing that came to mind was Fatma and her younger siblings.
Mustafa, Katyusha, and Mi-ryung regularly visit and take care of the two in the basement. It was heartwarming to say a few words clumsily every time I visited.
“But it’s quite annoying in an unexpected way.”
“What is it?”
“Do you know who I have accepted into my team?”
“Miss Katyusha, Dimitri, and Mi-ryung… … . ah.”
Proud stopped talking as if he knew roughly what he was talking about.
“okay. It is a matter of gender relations.”
I nodded and confirmed Proud’s prediction.
“… … That would be annoying.”
“I’m glad that you mean it.
I feel a sense of identity as a woman and a position without ties.
What would you say if I said I don’t have Katyusha… … . Having been together for such a long time, it’s no longer that kind of relationship, it’s more like a comrade.
“… … I don’t know what else I’m making excuses for.”
“yes?”
“It is nothing.”
I decided to get rid of the useless thoughts. In time to think about these things, it would be better to think of a way to deal with what has now happened.
After work, we continued yesterday’s strategy meeting in the basement.
“How long do you think of me as someone you need to protect?”
“That is not my intention. It is simply a proposal from a strategic point of view.”
No, to be precise, it wasn’t a strategy meeting, it was an argument between Mi-ryung and Dimitri.
“I don’t like being protected inside anymore. Give me a proper mission too!”
“The current mission is also an important one, Mi-ryung.”
The problem was that the strategy was handed over to Dimitri, who had taken a related lecture, to make up for himself. In Dimitri’s defensive strategy, Mi-ryung’s role was rarely given.
“I think if it’s Mi-ryung, it’s enough to go wild.”
“That, right?! The Crown Prince said that too.”
At my words, Mi-ryung appealed to Dimitri, but Dimitri shook her head politely.
“We will be the first to be shot. Prince-sama may not know, but at least Me, Mi-ryung, and Katyusha-san must be the priority targets. So I think it’s right to solidify the line defensively.”
“But in such a hardened situation, only Dimitri and the Crown Prince are capable of ranged attacks. After all, should Katyusha and I just watch?”
In fact, even if it were me, it would be difficult to use the magic power of a thunderbolt because it was not easy to control the power, but I didn’t bother to say it. This is because there is a high probability that the person hit will die.
“You have a mission to repulse those who come close. It is also an important mission.”
“… … But honestly, if the two of you block it with all your might, it’s obvious that no one will come.”
It was exactly the same as yesterday. The opinions of Mi-ryung, who wants to be aggressive, and Dimitri, who is planning a defensive strategy, have not been narrowed down at all.
“It’s boring to listen to it all the time.”
I didn’t want to intervene if possible, but I couldn’t leave it alone as there was no progress at this rate.
