Elte Sangha Recapture Battle (5)
3 days before school starts.
The students also started to return to the dormitory one by one, and news about the catastrophe at the Roth Taylor mansion also began to come to Aken Island.
When the students who had returned to their hometown during vacation return to Aken Island after hearing the news, the news about him also arrives.
After going to Elte Sanghoe and getting a face stamp, I returned to camp and started contacting people everywhere.
The power reorganization of the Elte Chamber is deeply intertwined with the power reorganization of the imperial family. Even the giants mentioned in the background were not one or two, so it was burdensome to ask someone for help.
“The student council president also said that he will be returning to school soon. I hope things go well for you.”
Still, I thought I’d gather people who could be of help right away and share information about my plans… .
“Zigs, you… Why are the cheeks like that?”
“I fought Elka.”
“Are you guys even fighting? ”
“It’s a bit long to explain… ”
Jigs Eiffelstein, the current 2nd year deputy head of the Ministry of Magic, had swollen red cheeks in the shape of a palm.
There was no need to ask who the culprit was, as he wasn’t the kind of guy he would go anywhere with.
“The L’Orail Hall was helping Elka’s life, and I was trying to help… . I guess that method was too ‘wild friendly’… ”
“What the hell did you do to slap that gentle librarian?”
“When I was in Islan’s mansion or the Ophelis Hall, I was always there to help me wash my body. So, I personally… ”
“No, it was… just go there It is entirely your fault.”
One of the first people I contacted after returning from Elte Trading was Ziggs.
This is because I heard that Elka returned to school early due to academic work, and that Ziggs also returned with her.
“I heard from Yenica. He said he ran into Yenika at the marina.”
“yes. I returned to school around the same time as Yenica sunbaenim. We talked about various things at the marina.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Well..”
“What matters is what we talked about! I can’t think of it! What a great story! evil! Aww!”
Incidentally, Jenica was also sitting around the campfire.
It’s a bit awkward to desperately pretend to be talking about what Jiggs and I were talking about at the dock, but it’s not important, so I decided to move on.
And, besides Yenika and Ziggs, there were more.
“By the way, for an Ed sunbaenim, he came out with a pretty low profile, so I was embarrassed.”
2nd year Senior Pensioner, Elvira Aniston.
It may be a strange sight for her, who is coming to the camp for the first time, but when she sees Ziggs and Yenica sitting near the bonfire casually, they sit down together.
He was definitely a human being who could adapt quickly.
“Even if there was a request, the person who said it confidently, what happened to you and called us together this time as if it were a pity?”
I spent a full day wandering around the Lorail building, the Trix building, and the Ophelis building.
I tried to contact all the places where the relationship reached, but… There were few other people who could come to help us properly to the camp.
Because vacation wasn’t over yet, there were quite a few students who didn’t return to school, and most of the faculty members didn’t even go to work.
“This time, it will be more troublesome than I thought. And it seems like a very uncomfortable situation will arise from your point of view.”
The Sylvania branch of the Elte Chamber of Commerce is now almost in Dune’s hands.
Based on the support of the main branch of Elte Sanghoe and the support of the people behind them, the employees were recruited from within the company one by one.
Even so, the scale of what was accomplished within a month of vacation was large, but it is not incomprehensible when you think about it.
2nd Princess Persicae, the next member of the society Slog, and even the vice-principal Rachel.
Considering Dunn’s narration, which measures the distance between people, it would not have been easy to convince the company’s employees in an instant.
Even for me right now, my brain stopped because of early graduation, settlement support, and long-term support from the Elte Company.
“Still, I don’t mean to ask for help for free. Promise me a commensurate monetary reward. As you can see, I am now… It belongs to the Elte Company.”
Showing the cloak with the Elte Sanghoe’s design stamped on it, I stood up.
The facial expressions of everyone gathered near the bonfire were strange. Among them, Yenika’s expression was the most impressive.
“Ed… So, did you become a full-time employee of the Elte Company?”
“It is now.”
“Gee, now… ?”
Having said that, I sat down on a wooden workbench near the bonfire.
It takes the form of looking down at all the members who are sitting on a tree stump. It’s in a good state to brief the situation.
“Lortel Keheln will soon step down from the Elte Chamber’s chairmanship. I was hit in the back.”
Everyone will take her name differently.
For Yenica, she will become a girl with a somewhat complicated mind.
For Ziggs, it would be a class A classmate and an unknown merchant,
He is not interested in Elvira, but he must be a famous person who has heard of her name.
“I don’t know what you guys think, but I’ve gotten a lot of help from him in the past… I can’t pretend I don’t know.”
Dune’s initiative to overturn the Sylvania branch of the Elte Chamber of Commerce has already been briefly briefed.
The problem is what I will do from now on.
“But right now, I’m in a body that doesn’t use much magical power, and I’m in a bad time… Help is desperately needed.”
“Ahaha, so you’re saying you want us to break into Elte and take Lortel?”
Elvira smiled and talked playfully, but the content was quite bloody.
“This is a very new proposal, but Ed-senpai… Shouldn’t we also think about our academic life?”
“That’s right, Sir Ed. And I don’t think it’s going to work out if we just take out Lortel’s recruits.”
Elvira and Ziggs had a point.
Even if you just attack, beat them all, and secure Lortel’s recruits, it is meaningless unless you solve the fundamental background of the power reorganization centering on the Old Deck or the support of the Princess Persica.
“right. However, it is not easy for us to take the lead and change the macro-political trend. That’s the right person for it.”
“Are you suitable?”
“Princess Penny will be back before school starts. I got a letter too. They’re bringing Lucy.”
The carriage, which departed from Chloeron, the capital, is heading to Aken Island with Lucy on board.
Once there is Lucy, there is no need to worry about the powerless part, and if there is a Princess Fenia who can engage in a nerve war on an equal footing with Princess Persica, there is also a place to lean on the political part.
“I will hold out until Princess Penia arrives. If you have imperial power, you will be able to rub them somehow.”
“I don’t like Lortel very much.”
Suddenly, it was a sentence that struck me.
The words came from the spiritssa girl who was warming her bonfire while hugging her knees tightly.
Ziggs, who was sitting in the diagonal seat, swallowed dry saliva and looked at Yenika.
“Yes, Jenika-senpai.”
“To put it bluntly… I hope Ed doesn’t take that risk to save Lortel.”
For a moment, there was silence between the camps. Elvira was alone, tilting her head as if relaxed.
When I suddenly saw Yenica, she had a grumpy face with her cheeks inflated.
The sight of him rushing to save Lortel without a fuss is not pleasantly accepted by her.
He said he would do anything to help, but it seems like he’s in a bad mood to help rescue Lortel.
In fact, just because Yenika is not without a human heart.
No matter how much Lortel was fighting with each other, if they were pushed into a situation that was on the verge of being thrown into a gutter… your heart will be blown
However, Yenica seemed to want to save Lortel and didn’t want me to endanger myself.
“But Ed… Even if I stop, once I have made up my mind, I will continue to push.”
“… ”
“I can’t live. uh… ”
And again static.
The moment I was about to say something, leaving Ziggs to look at Yenika strangely… Yenika raised her voice again.
“So, all I can do is make Ed less dangerous.”
“It seems like I only worry about you every time.”
“No, it’s because I was worried about everything in the first place. therefore… What are we going to do?”
Jenica’s eyes were already full of life.
I don’t like Lortel, but the distinction between public and private is clear.
Above all, Lortel was a person who always treated me kindly. It is better for me to have such a person as the head of the Elte Chamber.
I came to such a strange conclusion, but… In fact, it’s all just self-compromise.
Yenika is just taking part in my actions and sympathizing with my opinions. Let’s be grateful for that fact.
“Like I said, even if the lortel is stolen, the timing is important.”
“Isn’t there a need to take it out? You can just stay like this and report all the facts after Princess Penia returns to school, right?”
“Unfortunately, time doesn’t seem to be on our side.”
I couldn’t get all the information from the Elte company.
Above all, it is not known how Dune will bring Lortel down from his position as chairman.
Politics is, after all, a fight for cause.
In order to force Lortel down from his position, there must be a cause that can make it happen.
However, Lortel, although somewhat cold-blooded, was always a principled leader.
There was hardly anything to hold on to the pods, and, to be honest, there were a lot of dirtier parts on the dune side.
There’s no way Dune, who was well-planned, could do something like this without any certainty.
I did this because I was convinced that I could create a cause that would force Lortel to step down.
― ‘Soon the vacation will be over and a new semester will begin in Sylvania. Until then, it will be resolved if the deputy director of Lortel Hoi-joo holds him from doing anything.’
However, there are parts that can be inferred from Dune’s lines.
When the ‘new semester’ begins, Lortel will step down from his position as chairman. In other words, the Lortel must be stolen before the semester begins.
“Then, are we going to come together and beat them all up and bring Lortel out?”
As Elvira spoke without changing anything, I shook my head.
“Then you won’t join in.”
Hearing those words, “Oh,” said Elvira with a smirk as if stabbed in the face.
“It takes greater determination than you think to spritz muddy water on such a huge board, which is woven with the colossus of the Imperial Family and Old Deck.”
“I don’t care, but I’m afraid that Elkanah or the Islan family will be affected.”
“So do I. It’s not the first time I’ve caused trouble to the Enniston family.”
“So, you guys ‘join’ the plans of the Elte Chamber. It’s not about protesting.”
At those words, Ziggs and Elvira tilted their heads for a moment. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
“Your role is… You’re stopping Taylor.”
I beg your pardon?
As I was about to answer, I raised my hand and blocked it. You might be wondering what kind of nonsense this is.
“I’m going to kidnap Ayla.”
*“Eh, Ed… really this is right… ? this is right… ?”
The entrance to the L’Orail Building in the middle of the night.
The Lo-Rail Hall, a dormitory for honors students, is much larger than the luxurious dormitory Ophelis Hall, although the facilities are not as good.
Unlike the Ophelis Pavilion, which consists of only one building, it is made up of a total of five buildings, so it is difficult to see at a glance.
The reason why it is so large is simple. Because many students use it. However, compared to the general dormitory, Dex Hall, it is rather quiet.
It’s still a little over on vacation, so almost all the lights in the room are off. Still, some of the students’ rooms, who returned early, were lit, but among them, some lights on the second floor, the target, were not lit.
After looking around for a while, I was able to find Isla’s room right away.
“Don’t worry, Yenika. Because there are solutions.”
After I declared that I was going to kidnap Ayla myself, Yenika followed me in surprise.
“I have written everything by hand so that it can be handled neatly.”
“That, that… ! What does that mean… ?”
Yenika was following me, but it seemed like she was having a big internal conflict.
Even so, kidnapping people is not an act that goes beyond the front line. what are you thinking about
I am not a person who has lived a clean life to the point of being able to judge what is right and what is wrong. It’s funny to hesitate now, feeling guilty.
However, Yenika seems to be in a big conflict as to whether she feels hesitant to attract innocent people.
I said that I would do anything for you, but if you were to ask me if I could really take part in a criminal act that harms others so openly… Yenika had to be in trouble.
“okay… However… Ed, it must all mean something… ?”
“It is difficult to trust so blindly… ”
It would be better to show it directly than to explain it in detail.
However, Yenika clasped her hands tightly and said whether she had finished many internal conflicts alone.
“okay… . let’s go… . Ed… I said it with my mouth… Whatever your request, just say it… yes… ”
On the contrary, I swallowed dry saliva as I looked more miserable than necessary.
“Let’s do it… I’m going to do it… ”
Having said that, we headed to the second-floor window leading to Isla’s room. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be to ride the spirit that Yenika had quietly manifested.
So I approached the window on the second floor of the L’Orail Building, and quietly lifted it upwards. The door wasn’t locked, so it opened quickly.
“Go in… !”
Yenika closed her eyes tightly and slipped inside. I also went in at the same time.
Inside the student room in the L’Orail Building.
Aila’s room, which was neatly organized, caught my eye.
It’s not very spacious, but the room has everything you need. A study desk, a wardrobe, a bed, a small table, and even a private bathroom.
It is a room that is strangely girly. A few cute dolls, portraits of family members at home, hair combs and hand mirrors are scattered here and there.
The moonlight is the only light source and softly illuminates the room. In the center of the room, a girl with brown hair, Isla Triss, sat modestly.
Looking straight at the window we came in, it looks creepy and stable.
“Huh, huh… !”
As soon as they made eye contact with Ayla, Yenika shivered in surprise.
He was immediately caught breaking into someone else’s room without permission. Did you think that the room was dark and you were asleep?
Ayla slowly raised her head, looked at us and talked.
“You have come.”
“… ”
“Wait a minute, I’ve packed my things. I’ll get some luggage. ugh ugh… ”
Ayla took out the suitcase she had prepared in advance without showing any signs of surprise.
“A change of clothes should be enough… ? Would it have been better to bring toiletries as well? Are you tied to something like a rope? I think it’s better to wear clothes that don’t care about injuries… ”
“… I’m not going to play, so I need to keep my luggage to a minimum.”
“Still, I don’t know what kind of environment I will be living in after being kidnapped… It’s best to prepare as thoroughly as possible.”
Is this really an experienced teaching assistant?
It’s not like I’ve been kidnapped once or twice… Because he’s so good at it, even from the kidnapper’s point of view, it feels a little strangely awake.
“… ??”
“… What’s with that strange expression?”
“… ????”
There is no soul in Yenika’s face, which alternates between me and Ayla’s faces. I feel like I’m asking with my face what’s going on so naturally and smoothly.
“It’s like the business side of the company, and the job of Taylor’s side… Well, it feels complicated in many ways… First of all, I can’t help it because I need it. Because there are many things that have been taken care of. I have a low body, but please take care of me, Ed-senpai… ”
Looking at Ayla who greeted her so politely, Yenika had an absurd expression on her face.
Checking on Taylor’s growth, helping him grow as much as possible, and taking care of the business above him at once.
With this one case, we aim to finish all the worries about the scenario, the power dispute with Elte Sanghoe, the curiosity about Taylor’s specs, and the preparations for the upcoming battle of Velbrok…
I quietly brought Isla out.
“oh! Wait! I came out without a blanket! If you get caught by the superintendent, points will be deducted, so why not go and clear it now?!”
If you add up the time you took Ayla back to her room because of a minor problem… It was a bit delayed.
Really this… Can I call it kidnapping? ??
Wouldn’t that be a courtesy to the real kidnappers who abduct people through hard work and sweat? ??
* One agreement was reported and uploaded as a document.
It was an agreement reached by the Sylvania branch of the Elte Chamber. When I unfolded the contents, it was the contents of the secret drug exchanged between Ed Rothtailer, a student in Sylvania, and Dune Grex, a working member of the Sylvania branch of the Elte Chamber of Commerce.
It wasn’t very complicated. It was a document that symbolized the relationship between Ed Roth Taylor and Elte Company.
‘Oh… ‘
The private room of the second princess of the Rose Palace located inside the Chloël Imperial Palace.
Receiving a report from her entourage, Princess Persica looked at the documents with interest.
Clearly, Dunn Grex is a man of great resourcefulness and intelligence.
He quickly figured out the position of Ed Roth-Taylor in the current imperial family.
By attracting him to the Elte Trading Company and creating a close relationship, the runners of the Imperial Powers want to acquire the Elte Trading Company.
I’m used to raising my own value like that. It is the characteristic of those who are good at saboteurs.
So, Persica began to become more and more interested in the name of Ed Roth Taylor.
The surviving member of the Roth Taylor family, the fallen nobleman whom the hero Lucy Meryl was so obsessed with, and so many within Sylvania who would try to entice him to his side.
‘Is the Colossus Slog writing its own number?’
The colossal slog of the Elte Chamber that supports the Princess of Persica.
I gave him a little help to get him to the seat of the guildmaster. Apparently, he established a connection with Ed Roth Taylor as proof of his loyalty.
As a result, if the Elte Chamber comes under the influence of Princess Persica, you can officially meet with Ed Roth Taylor. Ed Roth Taylor will also be a member of the Elte Chamber.
‘I want to meet you.’
The Princess of Persica doesn’t even know what Ed Roth Taylor looked like. It only came as news.
However, according to the recent moving situation… As far as the fact that he is an extraordinary person, it seems clear.
Even Princess Selaha and Princess Fenia are important enough to pay attention to her trends. However, for Persica, surrounded by a veil, he is a man beyond the unknown darkness.
Princess Persica smiled quietly, imagining Ed Roth Taylor.
The scary thing is that imagination always unfolds in an ideal way.
It’s okay to draw the darkness in the ideal… The Princess of Persica quietly folded the documents.
Now, the competition for the throne will intensify.
This is not the time to get stuck in a delusion wall, like when you are stuck in a library and read a lot.
Persica quietly got up from her seat and headed out of the Rose Palace.
Times are changing, and the power structure is also ready to be overturned.
Persica is… He had no intention of giving up his power.
