104 – Is there something wrong with my youth? # 2
Domina said.
“Those teachers are all dangerous teachers. Do not approach it carelessly. Got it?”
Is there anything dangerous?
No teeth, no claws.
D&A’s teachers are generally good.
It means that he is a trustworthy ally.
“You seem to be talking about your colleagues like witches?”
“witch? Yes, in a way she is a witch.”
However, Domina didn’t know what I was thinking, so the teachers in the office talked like they were very scary witches.
“Victor-kun, you’re saying this because you don’t know what female teachers of the right age are like, trapped on an island and unable to meet men their age.”
Is there another profound world I don’t know about?
A story added in DLC?
Rather, it arouses interest.
However, the reason I couldn’t ask Domina was because female teachers like Sarmina and Vanessa poked their heads out of the classroom door and booed and booed.
“Do-sensei, are you saying you want to take all the students to yourself?”
“Well, among us, you’re the oldest—”
“Wow, what are you talking about? Aren’t they all working?”
“Yes Yes.”
I don’t know, but social life must be difficult.
That kind of person needs sugar.
“Here is cotton candy. It will be sweet and delicious. Made by myself, I guarantee. Thank you for coming here to give me this.”
“Yes, Victor. I know very well that you mean nothing more than this. Other teachers may not know, so you shouldn’t be nice to anyone. Understand?”
Domina seemed to be mistaken about something.
Are you kind to anyone?
Do you think I will do such a free goodwill?
“I am not kind to anyone either. Domina, I give it to you because it’s you.”
“What… ?”
So, keep working hard for the club in the future.
If possible, I would like to participate in the ‘Two-person 3 leg relay with club students and teachers’.
When I was about to talk about it, Domina said “Hey, if he makes fun of the teacher… !” and pinched my cheek. Of course it didn’t hurt. I’m just curious that he pinched his cheek even though he did the favor.
As I tried to protest, Domina looked at the cotton candy in the cup.
“Cotton candy. Don’t you think it’s a little like that for me to eat? The taste seems to be there. These things are what students and children eat.”
“There is no age too late to eat cotton candy. Also, Domina, don’t campaign at an age that hasn’t eaten much.”
“Yusera… .”
“Then I go.”
It took up more time than I thought.
I have to give it to Enio too.
But I had to say a word.
“In that sense, participate in the two-man triathlon relay. The time has come to step out as a club advisor. Also, we’ll have a club dinner after the sports day, so sign up for it.”
“What kind of teacher is this like an underling… .”
Domina frowned.
Then, he tapped the cup of cotton candy in his hand with his index finger and said, “I’m giving it to you because I got this.”

Finding Enio in D&A is easy.
If you go to the representative’s office, you can meet with a high probability.
In fact, I was able to meet Enio hard at work in the delegates’ office.
“Are you busy?”
“busy. However, I think I can afford to take a moment.”
Enio put down the pile of papers and tilted her head as she looked at me.
the guy asked.
“What happened?”
“I made cotton candy. I tasted them all. It seems a bit unfair that only you can’t taste it.”
It’s like that later, if there’s even an afterword, ‘Why didn’t you give it to me?’
Enio is definitely a style that creates an afterthought.
“All good. Why am I last?”
does it come out like that?
When I slightly frowned, Enio laughed and said, “Of course I’m kidding. Isn’t it nice that it’s the last one because it has its own meaning?”
Actually, Enio being the last one didn’t mean anything.
It’s just that his office is the furthest away.
still.
It was fortunate that I was not depressed alone.
Enio gets up from his desk and approaches me.
Looking at his shadow, it was lighter than I thought.
“It’s light.”
“Are you going to find out? Today’s tights are a bit light in denier. Knowing this subtle difference, you must be very interested in me, right?”
Denia in stockings?
Did I mention the shadows?
In fact, the color of the stockings was pale.
If I’m usually dark, I think I can see my flesh color better today.
Actually, it was pretty good.
“Will your father visit the academy tomorrow?”
“yes. Wanna see you sometime? Can I arrange a seat for you?”
suddenly?
Although there is no reason why I should meet the Duke of Blackstar.
There was no reason why we shouldn’t meet.

Quickly judge whether this is an opportunity or a trap.
The decision was easy.
“good.”
“There is no hesitation. Everyone gets scared when they hear my father’s name.”
You don’t know if you can get investment if you meet a high-ranking person.
Opportunities like this don’t come anytime soon.
But Enio said, “Actually, it was a joke. I don’t want to let my father and Viktor meet.” He shook his head.
playing with me
he’s a scary guy
The presentation in my brain to get an investment in front of the Duke of Black Star gets scrapped in no time. How dare you plunge people into despair?
But.
Enio’s feelings were a little understandable.
The Duke of Blackstar is different from his fellow duke, Cain.
I must say it’s a bit peculiar.
“Then don’t forget to get some fresh air from time to time.”
I lightly greeted Enio and left.
I wanted to hear the evaluation of cotton candy.
I stopped because it seemed a bit wrong to grab a busy person and forcefully ask for an evaluation.
That was when I was about to close the office door and leave.
I could see the dark shadows in the hallway.
“… … .”
How can there be only shadows without objects in the sunlit hallway?
I could vaguely understand why.
“Are you Tisiphone?”
“yes.”
Squeak.
The empty space in the hallway was bent like a noren and transformed into a human form.
Red hair and cold snake-like eyes.
This girl is Tisiphone, the eldest of Enio’s three henchmen.
He was also the most dangerous.
“Do you have something to see?”
I asked Tisiphone.
“… none.”
It was a refreshing answer.
* * *
When Enio starts paperwork again.
Someone knocked on the door.
For a moment, I wondered if the man had returned, but I soon corrected my thoughts.
If it was that man, he would have opened the door and entered right after knocking.
“Are you Tisiphone?”
“May I come in?”
“yes.”
When Enio answered, the door opened and a red-haired female student entered the office.
Enio didn’t pay attention to Tisiphone and just scratched the pen on the paper to finish the task.
Tisiphone asked Enio.
“Looks like you didn’t tell Viktor the truth. This time, the reason why the Duke is visiting Ludens is with the young lady… .”
“Shhh.”
When Enio brought his index finger to his lips.
Tisiphone was silent.
How many seconds did that silence last?
Enio said.
“Today is a troublesome story. I didn’t want to.”
“okay.”
Tisiphone moderately agreed and lowered her gaze slightly.
The destination is Enio’s shadow.
‘Fortunately, it’s still light.’
Tisiphone was slightly relieved that the thing sleeping inside Enio hadn’t woken up yet.
However, in a situation where incidents and accidents happen one after another like now, you don’t know when it will wake up.
‘… I’m sorry Victor, I have no choice but to leave it to him.’
After being close to Viktor.
Enio seemed to be in a good mood.
Enio was always smiling.
Tisiphone knew better than anyone that most of it was a fake laugh.
But these days, there was some truth mixed in between.
like right now
“Rather than that, look at this. It’s cotton candy. remember cotton candy? I ate a lot when I was younger. Back then, your sisters didn’t even treat me politely. We were friends.”
“Yes. It was. I was young at the time, so I didn’t know.”
“I’m not really blaming you. I liked it better back then.”
Hang your chin, Enio.
Looking at it, Tisiphone thought of her childhood.
When he was young, Enio was brighter and more cheerful than anyone else.
at that time.
If only I hadn’t found that strange ‘shrine’ that day.
Tisiphone thought of her childhood and fell into reminiscence.
Had it not been for that day, Enio’s brother, Aidan, would not have died.
The relationship between Duke Blackstar and Enio would not have become distant.
‘miss… . Our mistakes that day, until the moment we die… .’
With that feeling, pledging allegiance, Tisiphone left.
“Then I’ll be leaving.”
this afternoon.
A visit was to be made from the Blackstar’s home.
How to be prepared to meet them.
Dalgak, Giik.
It was when I opened the door and stepped out into the hallway.
Something creepy stabbed Tisiphone in the back.
“Caught.”
“… … .”
It was the voice of a playful woman.
Tisiphone was silent, focusing on the sharp touch on her back.
said the woman.
“Tisiphone, must you have lost your senses because your life on the mainland has been jeopardized? It’s all behind me I’ve seen more than that. There is a man approaching Enio. Why didn’t you report it?”
“… … .”
“If there is a man approaching Lady Enio, whoever it is, report it. Either that or remove it. This was the order you three sisters were given.”
“… Echidna. There is a reason for not reporting it.”
“Otherwise, would Tisiphone, who had the best grades in our Shadow Guard, disobey the Duke’s order?”
“Don’t be sarcastic.”
“I am not being sarcastic. more envious than that If I had a little better grades, I would have been able to enter Ludens like you, not the boring mainland. While attending to the young lady. comfortable.”
The feeling of the sharp blade that touched the back of my back disappears.
When Tisiphone turned around, there was no sign of anything in the hallway.
There is only one note left on the floor.
There it was written:
“I’ll report it to the Duke.”
Guggets.
Tisiphone thought as she crumpled the paper.
‘Victor, don’t meet the Duke. you will be in danger If you are in danger, lady… .’

late Tuesday.
When I woke up in the morning and was getting ready, my nose suddenly tickled.
“Etch.”
A wit came out.
At the same time, Nike was startled.
“Victor sneezes… !? First time I’ve seen… !”
At those words, Arnoi also made a fuss.
“Actually, this Arnoi also thought that Viktor was actually a machine wearing a shell… ! To sneeze is to be quite humane… !”
Everyone thinks it’s cool.
Yes, I’m human too, so I’ll sneeze.
I rubbed my nose and said.
“As I told everyone, today will be busy.”
It is not enough to say that it is a full-fledged start of the sports day.
Since many guests from the mainland flocked to the port, there is no gap to set foot from the morning.
We squeezed in between them.
What I’m waiting for is the biggest and strongest looking ship.
A ship with black stars painted on its sails.
“There he is.”
ruler of the north.
The Black Star family, owners of a winter castle full of snow and ice.
The family’s merchant ships began to enter the port one after another.
“Is that a boat?”
A large ship anchored in the harbor.
Stairs descend with a rumbling sound.
Appearing there was a man in a long black fur coat.
He must have been around 50 or so.
“Have you finally arrived at Ludens? I hate the sea.”
Gray hair, curly hair, made him look like an old locker or a gloomy prisoner.
However, the identity of that man was far from that of a prisoner or a locker.
“It’s been a while here. So, my precious daughter Enio is doing well, right? I think he probably came out to meet you.”
Blackstar’s Duke Balak looked around.
Of course, his daughter, Enio, did not enter his gaze.
“My daughter Enio did not come to meet me. Do you think something is wrong with this?”
When he tilts his head as if feeling puzzled.
I told Nike and Arnoi.
“Now.”
We carried the pickets we had prepared and moved through the crowds.
The sign reads “Welcome to Ludens from Duke Blackstar!” written in large letters.
“You… ?”
Duke Balak’s eyes found us.
Nike’s flashy pink hair is bound to catch your eye anywhere.
However, his gaze was not on Nike’s pink hair, but on me.
“Are you Victor?”
“I am Victor.”
do you know me
Then the story will speed up.
The reason I came to meet the duke.
And it was time to lightly explain why the Blackstar family should invest in us.
“You child… !”
My body floated into the air.
Because the Duke grabbed me by the collar and lifted me up.
“Are you that Victor? How dare you show yourself in front of me… ! Your face is once thick… !”
Hey, say hello once.
It’s understandable that Enio didn’t want to introduce his father to me.
But this is a bit harsh.
“Duke Balak, how are you rude from the beginning? Aren’t you and I meeting each other for the first time?”
“This guy… ! He’s like a bee gathering in a flower… ! Are you pretending not to know… !? I’ve already heard that you’re trying to seduce Enio… !”
you’re twisting Is it because you joined the club?
It could be.
Unlike Cain Arkwright, who doesn’t care about his daughter and son, Duke Balak is an Enio who will die.
But skill is a real thing.
How many people are there in this Ludens who can grab me by the collar and lift me up?
According to the setting, didn’t he retire from everything five years ago?
Are these forearms and shoulders from a retired person?
“First, start with this—” let go It was when I was about to say that.
“Dad… ?”
A familiar voice was heard.
I barely rolled my eyes to see Enio looking at us and frowning.
“Enio. my daughter Were you there to meet me?”
“I told Viktor not to treat me carelessly… !”
