174 – 174 – Vacation Starts #4
174 – Vacation Starts Now #4
“That’s how it happened.”
I briefly explained what had happened the previous night.
Then, Nike looks at the broken window and nods, “Sure, that’s what happened!”
“So Viktor, what you mean is that the thief tried to steal something, but it didn’t work, so he stabbed Viktor in the eye and then broke the window and ran away, right?”
“yes.”
Except for the broken window, nothing was missing.
No one got hurt.
Even though I got stabbed in the eye, even my eyes are strong.
“Aren’t you the Count’s servant? To harm Viktor and us… !”
Nike has a serious opinion about the theft case.
A servant of the Count.
Chances are good enough.
At that time, Enio, who was soaking his feet in the cold water in the basin, spoke.
“By the way, what did you come in to steal? Viktor-kun, have you hidden something valuable somewhere in this club room?”
“no.”
If I had something valuable, I would have already sold it to pay off the debt.
There was just one corner to point out.
It might have been a thief aiming for Nike’s “mirror”.
It’s just my guess, but it’s pretty plausible.
Nike asked.
“Wouldn’t it be better to report it to the student council executive department first?”
“is it.”
I headed to the student center to report the damage.
The receptionist, who had been yawning profusely because it was vacation, recognized me and blushed as he adjusted his glasses.
“Victor, have you seen it?”
“Christina, is it in your mouth?”
“… … .”
“Okay. It’s vacation, so I can yawn. It looks like you’re on duty today, right? I should have asked my juniors to do this.”
“Executives are all busy, so those who can afford it do it. so what happened? Did you come to see me?”
“no.”
“It’s too short. It’s a complete iron wall.”
“But I feel fortunate to have met you.”
“… What, pushing and pulling people completely.”
Cristina blushed as if she didn’t like my story.
Still, I felt really fortunate to have Cristina at the reception desk.
If you know someone, the conversation will go faster.
“Christina, I’m here to file the damage. There was a thief in the club room last night.”
“thief?”
My victim report was received quickly, probably because I am close to Christina.
Soon, Hilde from the Executive Office came out to meet me and was able to explain the whole story in a rough way.
It’s good to have a job.
I guess that’s why you have to have connections.

Jojal jojal.
“This is how it happened.”
After hearing the story, Hilde pressed her thumb between her brows as if she felt puzzled.
“I didn’t know that there would be a thief who was thinking of robbing Viktor’s room. So, how did you know the thief was a woman?”
“I just found out about it.”
If I told her that I touched her breasts, I would be arrested as a red-handed criminal, so I evade it.
Why, I acted in self-defence, but there’s nothing wrong with being careful.
said Hilde.
“But Victor. You know from serving as an executive member, but with that much information, there is no choice in catching the criminal.”
“is it.”
“Also, while I was on the mainland, there were a lot of things that were delayed. You know well that if there is no damage, the priority of the investigation will be pushed aside, right?”
Hilde leaned back on her office chair.
The long, solid-looking bronzed legs that extend under the dolphin pants are placed on the desk as if to show off.
Kdak. Kdak.
The guy who was waving the slippers across his feet folded his arms and closed his eyes as if he was lost in thought for a long time.
“how will we do it.”
Watching the wrinkles forming on the bandage on the bridge of the nose with wonder, Hilde says as if she has finally come to a conclusion.
“I will investigate first. Instead, there are conditions. The executive branch is very busy these days. Viktor, I would like you to come and help me as my assistant on a day when you can afford it.”
“Your assistant?”
“yes. An assistant can be selected as a short-term work scholarship student even if it is an ordinary student.”
Could this be the “Executioner’s Assistance” quest?
It’s a quest that requires you to achieve certain conditions when your reputation is high, but it turned out to be easier than I thought.
The prerequisite is to raise the favorability of Skadyna Hilde, an agent of the Enforcement Division, above ‘interest’, so it’s not unusually tricky.
Of course, Hilde or Skadi’s liking for me couldn’t be at the ‘interest’ stage.
If you hit it well, it should be ‘normal’.
Maybe I’m not the main character, Luke, so maybe the prerequisites were a little different.
“I get it.”
It was a story that I could not deny.

Quests issued by the executive department are all well rewarded.
“So, Victor. Any more clues that might help us catch the culprit?”
“Clue… .”
I tried folding my hands.
Roughly this much.
And if you roughly grasp the waist circumference seen in the dark… .
“The culprit is most likely a 70D cup. If we summarize the 70D cup women in Ludens, the investigation will proceed. Also, since he broke the window and ran away, there is a possibility that he might have been injured.”
“70D. That’s an incredibly specific number.”
* * *
“Victor. This is the list of 70D cup buyers in Ludens. I’m sure it’s because I checked it at an underwear store. From the 70D, they are made to order.”
In the afternoon, I was making a special summer vacation menu.
Hilde came to the club room under the scorching sun with cicadas singing and handed out the documents.
“You should look at this.”
“There are quite a few 70Ds.”
flutter.
Hilde shrugged as she turned over dozens of stacks of paper.
“Because Ludens is rich in pure magic.”
What do you mean?
It’s good.
“Is it okay to pick it out from here?”
“What names do you know? There is a possibility that the crime was committed by an unfamiliar criminal, so I’m asking.”
I shook my head at Hilde’s question.
“I know the name… .”
Then there was a name that caught my attention.
「E of Seonghwangcheong」.
This is the most recent purchase record.
Seonghwangcheong’s E.
It seems like an abbreviation, but is it Eclair?
“This guy, did a man buy women’s underwear?”
Somehow, when the scene is imagined in my head and I frown.
Hilde said a word.
“I was trying not to say anything. Even though the people of Themyscira are women, there are times when they disguise themselves as men and leave for the mainland.”
“Why is that coming out now?”
“I mean, there are many different people in the world. There are various reasons.”
“Is there a reason Eclair has to dress as a woman?”
“I don’t know. Anyway, eclair. I’ll put this guy on the investigation list as well.”
“There is no need to investigate. that guy is a man The culprit who attacked me was a woman, not a man.”
I know because I touched it.
Of course, I didn’t say anything like that.
Maybe that’s why Hilde ended by saying, “That’s why we’re investigating.”
It’s not something I’m going to say, but Hilde is also very stubborn.
The evening when Hilde left like that.
When you have dinner and get ready to go to sleep.
Something banged against the window.
Did someone throw a stone?
It’s a new window recently, but it’s unfair if it breaks again.
I went out to see if someone was throwing rocks at the window.
A tall, slender blonde with a rock in his hand, like a movie star or model.
“Is it Shadi?”
I’m surprised
“Victor, I have something to tell you.”
“what?”
“It’s a bit different here. look at me.”
Shady is coming to see me.
She was a girl with a knife-like personality.
Why, even when working part-time, there are kids who are exceptionally smart.
I had to be prepared to hear aloud when those kids said to me, “Look at me because I have something to say.”
The place I arrived at was a secluded bench in a park with very few people.
In a quiet place with no one around, Shadi stopped walking and spoke to me.
“Victor, what are you going to do?”
“What.”
“Victoria’s engagement. There is a high probability that Victoria will accept this engagement.”
“is it.”
“Isn’t that right? Viktor, didn’t you like Victoria?”
“I?”
Why did Shadi have such a misunderstanding?
But when I thought about it, it wasn’t exactly a wrong word or a misunderstanding.
“It’s true that I like Victoria. However, I am not in a position to say what to do about the engagement between the two of you.”
“what?”
“That’s for the two of you to decide.”
That was when I calmly gave an answer.
Shadi looked around and said with a cool frown on his face.
“Really, I didn’t mean to say this because I felt like I was interfering. You guys are really stupid. Victor, you idiot. Because Victoria likes you.”
“me?”
“yes!”
“I never felt that way.”
Victoria gets angry and annoyed when she sees me.
It was enough.
I arbitrarily broke off my engagement to Victoria.
Because he was the one who ruined his life.
Even if Victoria resents and dislikes me, I thought I would accept it sweetly.
But Shady told me, “Victorika likes you.”
“I have known Victoria for a long time and know her better than anyone else. Victoria likes you, Victor. Although it may not have been before. Right now.”
Is it just a heart attack?
Naturally, I was not fooled by this story.
There is a girl who confessed to me on April Fool’s Day.
Later, a friend who was very close to him said to me, “Actually, he likes you. It wasn’t even an April Fool’s lie, it was real. If you confess, I will accept it.”
I believed it
I confessed
-Yes, it’s good that you confessed. i don’t like you
The answer that comes back is literally a thunderbolt from the blue sky.
Since then, the thought of not believing anything other than what I hear from my own mouth has firmly settled in my heart.
It’s the same now.
“… … .”
When I shut my mouth, Shadi sighed deeply and wiped her face.
And then he says something like he’s shaking it off.
“Others believe in you more than anyone else. Now I see that you trust others more than anyone else.”
“… … .”
It’s a perfect song.
To be honest, I didn’t trust others at all.
The result of faith is always greater disappointment.
If you don’t believe in it in the first place, it’s okay not to be disappointed.
Shady said.
“Okay, let’s say Victoria doesn’t like you. But you said you like Victoria. He said the girl he likes might get engaged to someone else. Are you sure you want to see it?”
“But—”
“But what? But what about two people? I don’t think you have a rough idea of how this engagement is going. This engagement, Victoria has no veto.”
“You don’t have the right to refuse?”
“A deal that will lead to war on the mainland. great war. It seems that the only organization that can mediate or block it is Seonghwangcheong.”
“… … .”
“A lot of people might die. However, if Arclight’s daughter, Victorica, could stop the war by getting engaged to the priest of the Holy Emperor. What do you think Victoria would do if she could prevent so many people from dying?”
“Yes, I will sacrifice myself. He is such a person.”
“I know. After all, you actually know more about Victoria than anyone else.”
Shadi’s words ended with that.
The guy seemed to want to say something more, then said “No, just pretend you didn’t hear today” and left first.
Then he added a few words to me before turning the corner.
“The engagement is next week. stupid guy.”
the fool is you
Don’t you know that words that have already been spilled cannot be picked up?
“Are you fooling me one more time? Don’t you?”
No, if I’m fooled again, I’m an idiot.
I’m stupid but not stupid
what’s the difference between the two?
I don’t know either.
With that feeling, I moved toward the club room again.

Just then, someone was found.
“That guy… .”
I instinctively hid in a nearby street light.
I don’t know why I hid.
No, that’s not what’s important now.
Eclair, the priest of Holy Emperor’s Office.
It doesn’t matter that he’s prowling around the secluded park like a thief.
I could feel it viscerally.
‘Premonition of crime’.
That guy is trying to do something bad.
Otherwise, there’s no way I’d be wandering around like that.
As if he’s trying to hide something, he’s making an embarrassingly nervous expression, which makes him even more suspicious.
So I decided to keep an eye on it just in case.
When I was looking at him for such a long time.
After making sure no one was around, he went into the park’s bathroom.
What a ‘women’s bathroom’!
“This has crossed the line.”
I couldn’t have Victoriaka marry such a brute.
I decided to storm the scene.
“Eclair, perverted priest. You are under red-handed arrest.”
Even if the engagement was terminated due to a crime, it would not be helped.
