83 – 9. How to fight and win against monsters (11) – Former student council president.
Ludwig Persia Luna was a boring person who did everything.
She was born as the daughter of a large family and was favored and accommodating all her life, but her expression changed less and less with each passing day. Because her noble life was extremely troublesome.
“My daughter is all grown up now. hehehe, how does she match her clothes so well?”
“Mom… I told you I really hate clothes like this. What is this? It’s just uncomfortable.”
“Hey! Mom will be really sad if you say something like that. A nobleman has to look perfect at all times. Aren’t you going to go to the academy later? It may take a few more years, but…”
The life of an aristocrat is really, really annoying.
I don’t even know why he puts so much emphasis on what he can see, what manners he has to follow, and why he has to follow them.
There are a mountain of books to read. These are all things you should read within this week.
“I really want to run away from home.”
Luna longed for the life of a mercenary and adventurer that she read about in her books.
The journey of those who go on an adventure to find what they want. Isn’t it overflowing with romance just by imagining it? No matter how pretty the inside of the cage is, it is still just a cage.
She didn’t want to dry up and die miserably in a cage. She wants to take off all the clothes that are constricting her heart and leave in search of true life.
If she had been a child, she might have gone straight to her academy, but after sneaking into her father’s study and reading one of her novels, her rebellious spirit grew.
[Demon fighter.]
The story of a rookie female swordsman who meets her colleagues and eventually becomes a hero by defeating demons.
In the latter half of the story, exaggerated descriptions typical of novels, such as splitting the sky or destroying a mountain with a single slash, appear, but they do not significantly harm immersion. It’s a novel anyway, so what’s the point?
Luna admired the main character of [Demon Fighter].
‘What kind of a f*cking academy is this? ‘True learning comes from desperate adventures.’
It would be better if you could have a lover as well as a business partner. The disappointing thing about [Demon Fighter] Was that there was no love line for the main character.
‘How can there not be a single man involved? Even though the main character wasn’t interested in romance…!’
Luna has already decided to marry a gentle handsome man with black hair who works at a flower shop and is kind, pure, and has an attractive smile. Her height just needs to be taller than you, and her wealth doesn’t matter at least. Because she can feed herself.
The problem is that such people only exist in novels.
In response to her anxious lament, laughter was heard from behind.
“Puhup! Our Piyak says all those things and it’s no big deal?”
“Sister. I’m not a peep. I’m Luna.”
“Beep beep beep. Luna is beep.”
Ludwig Persia Vivian, she is an older sister who makes fun of herself for fun.
‘Beep’. There is nothing a future mercenary leader cannot say. Luna glared at her own older sister with a sullen expression on her face.
Vivian smiled and stretched her Luna’s cheeks.
“hahahaha. Your eyes should be pretty.”
“…Javadangidima.”
Although she was always the one making fun of her, Luna looked up to her older sister.
Her older sister was a perfect genius from the moment she was born, on a different level from criminals like herself.
She is a bright person who shows perfect talent in whatever she does, while never losing her composure and smile. Now that she is a senior, her older sister is the academy’s student council president and has never missed her valedictorian.
She also heard that she was very popular because her face looked like the wife of a crown prince in a romance novel. In short, she is a person who seems to have humanized literary and martial arts and arts.
Comparing yourself to someone as gloomy as yourself is rude.
Sometimes I feel jealous, but it quickly subsides when I see her older sister smiling. Moreover, her parents’ expectations are always focused on her older sister, which makes her much more comfortable.
“So why do you want to run away from home?”
“…It’s no big deal. My mom always tells me to wear only uncomfortable clothes. I hate things with decorations like this the most.”
“It’s just pretty in my eyes. Isn’t a dress much prettier than a suit or uniform? Even if I want to wear a dress, I can’t.”
My older sister, who became the student council president, said she couldn’t wear a dress even if she wanted to. When she thought about it, her older sister seemed to have been very interested in pretty things since she was young.
Was it because she had so many expectations from her family that she didn’t have time to enjoy those things? Suddenly I feel a little sorry for her.
“Why? You can wear a dress too.”
“Puh-huh.. If I wear a dress, the student council members will be freaked out..? They treat me like a complete gentleman. I don’t even have the manners of a magpie..”

She didn’t seem to like the idea of others treating her like a maid.
“Hmm. Anyway, you want to run away from home?! Let’s go then! I have someone to introduce you to.”
“…Really?! I like dogs!”
“…..Where did you learn that word from?”
“I’m not going to tell you.”
Luna calmly avoided her older sister’s gaze.
This is a phrase that the main character of [Demon Fighter] Liked to use. Even if she is her own sister, she cannot easily reveal the source.
.
The place where her older sister took her was the Ludwig family sparring hall. When she asked me to leave, I thought she meant to leave the house, but I was completely fooled. It was her sister’s trap.
“Traitor.”
Despite Luna’s dissatisfied gaze, Vivian was busy sparring with the man she had brought.
‘…But couplets also appeared in novels. There’s no harm in looking at it in advance.’
She didn’t keep looking at the face of the man her older sister brought her because she liked it. She says she is not her idiot, so she takes it for granted.
My older sister easily blocked the man’s attack and counterattacked. The difference in her skills was clear to anyone.
Her sword split into several branches and attacked the man. She was instantly struck by his sword.
No matter when I saw her, her swordsmanship was amazing. How can the sword energy split like that?
I was so curious that I remember asking a question a while ago.
‘Sister. That swordsmanship is not our family’s swordsmanship. ‘Where did you learn it?’
‘Huh? You recognize me! Our Luna probably knows, too. Did she know that her older sister sneaked into her father’s study once? There she saw a book, in which it contained a sword technique made by one of our ancestors.’
‘…Why does it feel like this is my first time hearing this?’
‘That’s right, he died without getting married and had no descendants. Moreover, he was expelled from the family and even his swordsmanship was completely erased. Of course, this genius sister learned everything from her books.’
Her swordsmanship was so difficult that even her genius sister said she could only master the first form over several months.
It was amazing to see such legendary swordsmanship again.
Vivian grinned, showing her white teeth. It was a cowardly smile that an average man could not help but fall in love with.
“Again, again. You’re always impatient and get into trouble. Your posture is full of flaws.”
“It’s noisy.”
“Wow, you always speak informally to your seniors. I’m a senior in my senior year! Isn’t this the kind of person who can speak informally to a junior who just joined?”
“It’s noisy.”
“Ugh… That’s it. I don’t know why the Howlan family are so picky. Come on. But these days, they don’t ignore what I say, so it’s very admirable. Isn’t this our magpie’s charm?”
“I’m not a magpie, I’m a human. Don’t treat me like a brat.”
“Oh. Do you know I just spoke too long? Try saying it that way. And it’s natural to treat a child like a child. If I had treated you like an adult, I would have corrected you for speaking informally, right?”
“It’s noisy.”
“Oh, you’re so picky, magpie.”
Vivien, red-haired and wearing a knight’s uniform, repeatedly tapped the black-haired man’s shoulder.
Every time that happened, the man glared at her, but the woman just smiled at her, paying him no mind.
“Are you that upset about losing in sparring? You’re even more grumpy today.”
“It doesn’t matter who wins such an ignorant power struggle. It’s just annoying that I came to the Ludwig family’s sparring hall. Even if I research it, it’s not enough…”
“Sometimes you need to vent. You study too much. How would a senior feel when he or she is at the age when he or she should be enjoying his youth and sees him shut up like an old person and only reading books?”
“What does it matter to you? It’s a disease at that level. When you have time to worry about others, take care of yourself first.”
Vivian and an unfamiliar black-haired man are bickering. From her perspective, it was just a joke with a junior who had just joined, but Luna saw it differently.
I can’t possibly forgive such a rude person. Why on earth did you bring someone like that?
While I was thinking about that, they came closer and closer to Luna.
“Since our magpie is in first grade… We’ll see each other in a year or two.”
“…Why are you forcibly dragging me here and suddenly introducing me to your family? It’s a burden on both of us.”
“Oh…! I can finally use the word ‘burden’. This senior is extremely happy.”
When Vivian playfully made a gesture to wipe away her tears, he sighed and said as if he was tired.
“I feel bad, so stop talking nonsense.”
‘…My sister treats me so kindly, is it right for me to have such an attitude? Well, there are people like that.’
He is a very unpleasant man who treats Vivian, whom he admires, like that.
Suddenly, the man stood in front of him.
Jet-black hair and deep black eyes. Dark circles on a cold face that seem to have a story behind them.
I hate to admit it, but he is really handsome.
So what? Being handsome and being rude are two different things.
Luna glared at him intently and said nothing.
In the end, he held out his hand first and opened his mouth.
“It’s Howlan Dyers.”
His first impression was the worst.
What? Did Dyers have black hair before the curse?
