69 – Grand Duke Aka – 69
It wasn’t long before Amel returned.
“He said he had a seat tomorrow, so let’s talk about it then. Are you okay?”
“It won’t matter. This incident can also be used as a hand.”
“Oh, and the guy who was thrown outside made a fuss in front of the annex. Although he was immediately kicked out by the staff at the annex.”
“… … After all, it’s disgusting to the end.”
“Well, wouldn’t it be a good hand? If such absurdity is prevalent among the students of the Empire by mentioning this incident, you can attack it as if it is natural to be involved with the devil.”
“Oh, that’s nice. It is also Gregory-sama.”
And after hearing our story, it was clear that the president would probably give him the severest punishment the president could give.
“Thank you for listening to my request today. Priscilla. I will repay the favor later.”
He knew that it was not polite to suddenly bring in an outsider and sell the name of the princess.
Feeling a little guilty, Priscilla grinned.
“are you okay. Because sometimes I want to be Gregory-sama’s strength.”
“… Thank you for saying that.”
“I am always grateful.”
So, since my business with Priscilla was over, I returned to the room with Rosé.
Rosé seemed to have gone back to her room with me to rest, as if she had played enough.
There is still time left until 9 o’clock. I went into my room and lay down when I heard a knock.
“Gregory-sama, is it okay if I go in?”
“Come in.”
“Yeah~”
Rosé enters with a full smile, hiding something behind her body.
“Gregory, do you know what I brought?”
“Well, I don’t know yet.”
“lol… … . right away… … Voila! This is it!”
Saying that, what Rose offered me was a mini-game that was implemented in [Summoner Academia].
“… … It is River Stone.”
“What? Do you know?”
“A little bit.”
It was a two-player card game made by quantifying the fights that people who are not summoners use summons to fight, and it was a game with the setting that it was popular in this world.
“A little bit? hehehe, there is still time until 9:00, how about River Stone with me?”
I wonder if he was doing this with Priscilla upstairs as well. Riverstone’s box had traces of being recently opened.
“Are you okay? I am… … .”
“hehehe, it’s okay if you can’t. I’ll let you know one by one. yes? Do it~.”
Rosé immediately came to the bed I was lying on and sat on it. Then put the Riverstone box on the bed.
“Are you doing it?”
“… … I will.”
I was going to say that I reached the pinnacle of River Stone right after mastering ‘Summoner Academia’… … .
Doesn’t matter.

Everyone left and only Raphael and Priscilla remained in the room.
In Priscilla’s room, where the heat of the people who were there just now hasn’t gone away, the subtle scent of rosé cigarettes still lingers.
“Is it Priscilla recipe?”
“Was that the correct answer?”
Raphael sat next to Priscilla on the sofa and smiled.
“That’s right, the child and the devil you helped today will be of great help to you.”
A boy with yellow hair reminiscent of ginger and his pet, Hercules, came in with Gregory Jones.
Priscilla was convinced as soon as she saw the boy and the devil.
I hope these will help you in the future.
“Even though he was a devil, he said that he had been dating Raphael, and that he was Gregory-sama’s vassal. And the story of the first meeting Raphael told me in the past. Then the story is simple.”
Click. And the teacup in Priscilla’s hand landed on the saucer.
“Perhaps the devil was also at the same spot where Baal was, right? It also means that he is a powerful demon.”
Raphael grinned at Priscilla’s relaxed expression.
“that’s right. It’s a monster that blocked Baal’s murderous attack with only strength.”
“… … yes? If it is Baal, is it the Baal I know?”
“That’s right, the Demon Hunter. Baal, a demon who defeated countless demons with his power during the Order War and rose to the top of the ranks. You blocked her attack.”
“… … I never imagined it would be like that. That he was such a great devil?”
“When I saw it? Maybe those two will be stronger. Even if Gregory educates them, they will grow in a short period of time.”
Priscilla tilted her head at Raphael’s muttering as if it were natural.
“Does Gregory teach others so well? Enough to convince Raphael?”
In response to Priscilla’s question, Raphael said as if he was talking about something.
“Did you see it right next to you too?”
“yes?”
“Rosé. I mean that kid.”
“… Miss Rose?”
Has there been a major change in her?
Raphael spoke in a kind voice to Priscilla who was thinking that way.
“From what I hear, it seems that Gregory is learning martial arts. And you’re stronger than when we first met?”
“is that so?”
“Yeah, if it’s Rose right now, wouldn’t it win even if you put it against a tolerable 2-star summoner?”
“… It’s almost like being an apprentice knight.”
“yes?”
Rosé had grown to such an extent that Priscilla felt indignant at the fact that she, who had been by her side until just a moment ago, had not noticed such a change.
“… I need to work harder too.”
“It’s a good attitude.”
Raphael slowly approaches and strokes Priscilla’s hair.
“Boo… … . Raphael sees me as too childish.”
“I’ve lived a long time, so a child named Priscilla is right for me?”
“… … If you say that, I have nothing to say.”
Priscilla, who had been patted by Raphael, closed her eyes.
It was to organize the benefits that you could get from what happened today.
“… … There must be a lot to do here.”
Priscilla instinctively searches for glucose due to the far-off calculations. She picked up the teacup from the table again.
“… put it on.”
Fueled by the sugar that spreads through her taste buds, she steadily calculates.
Think about the impact your actions, surroundings, characters, and events will have.

“Why are you so good at it? It must be the first time!”
“There is nothing I cannot do. Rosé.”
Naturally, the duel called ‘River Stone’ in the room ended with my overwhelming victory.
overall. 11 wins, undefeated in 11 matches.
It was a miserable defeat for Rosé.
“But you can see it at least once! It’s too much!”
“The world of competition is a harsh law. Rosé.”
“Nice words… … . That doesn’t mean my vengeance is over!”
“Revenge? don’t expect it.”
By the way, we were talking while walking towards the training ground. It was because the appointment time, 9:00, was approaching.
The training ground was reserved through the front desk.
Time was also time, so it seemed that there were not many people using the training ground.
Well, even if he did, he was confident that he would be able to kick them all out if he used Transformation and Black Swamp.
“Gregory, I just felt something spooky.”
“It must have been a cold wind.”
Is it because you are always by my side? It was strangely good rosé.
“Is it like that? Hmm, maybe that’s because the road is a forest.”
Fortunately, my bad plan seems to have gone awry.
“ah! I see a light! Is that a training ground?”
“Yes, it seems Gallier is already there.”
In the distance, I could see the figures of two people standing in front of the training ground entrance.
They were Gali and Hercules.
The two also looked happy to see us and bowed towards us.
That’s a bit burdensome… … .
Still, I couldn’t hear him shouting here, so I only speeded up my steps a little.
Finally, as the distance approaches, Gallier and Hercules raise their heads.
“You came early.”
“yes!”
“I can’t keep my lord waiting!”
I liked how both of them were so excited.
Yes, it has to be at this level to have the taste of raising it.
“Good. Go inside.”
Open the door to the training ground and go inside.
The training ground of the Imperial Academy, which came during the day but found Gallier and Hercules and was unable to go inside.
The huge space beyond the door was enough to arouse Rosé’s admiration.
“Oh, it’s so big… … !”
“Right.”
The words that everything in the Imperial Academy was as big as now had never touched me.
If the inside of the training ground was not good enough, the ship of the summoner academy training ground looked like it.
“Rosé, where is our reservation?”
“Yes, because it’s the 23rd training ground… … . There he is!”
The arena with bright lights on. In front of it was a number board with 23 written on it and a prism stone, which was essential in the arena.
“Galli. What is your Dalian experience?”
“… … When I counterattacked during sparring, they harassed me in the classroom or in the dormitory. So I always had to be right.”
“In other words, you don’t have the experience of proper sparring.”
“Yes, there was a time when I really fought against evil… … . At that time, the opponent was a 2-star, speed-oriented summoner, so I couldn’t even use my hands and lost.”
Did you lose because of compatibility issues?
After hearing Gallier’s story, I looked at Hercules as it was.
“What was the situation then?”
“The opponent only relentlessly aimed at Galier, and because of that, I couldn’t escape Gallier’s side!”
Until recently, Gallier was the child of an ordinary farmer.
Perhaps, if Hercules hadn’t protected them, the sparring would have ended right away.
“I’m at a loss as to how to educate.”
“Oh oh! After all, lord!”
Hercules exclaimed as he raised both arms to the sky.
I can’t be sorry if you like it that much.
“I am ready to accept any education. Same goes for Hercules!”
“hmm! A man who happily accepts any kind of training! That’s me!”
Are you prepared for the hard training? The corner of my mouth went up at their confident voice.
“good night. Then first… … Right.”
“… … yes?”
“… … Lord?”
Couldn’t both of them understand? I kindly responded once again.
“Hercules needs to be beaten by me and Gallier by Rose. That’s today’s training.”
There is an old saying that a hawk is a medicine, but is there a law that says it cannot be called a miracle medicine?
I was thinking of growing them up with the elixir of tying.
Rosé, who had already come here and explained my teaching method, was stepping wildly and punching the air.
“Shuk! Shuk suk! Shook! Rosé Punch!”
… … I don’t know if Rosé will be able to do well, but what. won’t kill
“Now, warm up properly and come up to the arena.”
It’s a fun training time.
