229. Clubs

“…”
“…”
There was silence in the president’s office.
I am the first to open my mouth.
“…Why don’t you even say that you had a good vacation?”
“I tend not to ask meaningless questions.”
“…”
I see.
Now, it seems that this person has completed all of his studies. You’re right, I can’t argue with that.
“How was the Duchy of Tristan, Dawood?”
“…Not bad.”
Really, not bad.
Except for leaving my father there.
“…? Why is Viscount Campbell…?”
“The head of the family said that he had something to say himself, so he held on to it. Do you have something to teach me?”
This is what Leonid himself delivered to me. I have something to teach my father slowly, so how about emptying the manor for the time being?
I’ve added several times that I’m not forcing it, but it’s only natural that he hurriedly consented, fearing that a spark might spark in the estate, given his father’s personality.
“…”
After hearing those words, Atalanta looked at me with an angry expression.
As if you really don’t know what that means.
“…Isn’t that the preparation for marriage?”
“Yes?”
“It is a common situation when a great nobleman marries a much lower nobleman. It’s like a tradition when you accept your son-in-law. It’s about educating people in advance about things to watch out for and risks that may arise when they get married.”
“…”
“Isn’t that what you called from the beginning…?”
“…By the way.”
With a chill running down his spine, he quickly changed the subject.
“Why is the President so full of energy?”
It’s not wrong, right now this person’s skin was dripping with luster.
After meeting me, the usual Atalanta, who was under heavy workload and was on the brink of death, must have been in a situation he could not have imagined.
“…Ah, this?”
After hearing my words, Atalanta grinned.
He seems to be in a good mood after hearing those words.
“…”
I would have agreed if it hadn’t been for the unfocused dead eyes.
“Because I used a spell. Body regeneration.”
“…Yes?”
“It’s a skill I use in an emergency. If you live a long time, there are times when you use these things from time to time. Although it is a spell to obtain the present by selling the future…”
“…”
After sitting at a loss for words for a moment, he barely opens his mouth.
“…Isn’t that a combat spell?”
“It’s a combat spell.”
“…”
I know it as something that could be used by a human on the brink of death.
I used to sit in the office and do paperwork.
“…What kind of business are you struggling with?”
When I asked such a question, Atalanta smiled detachedly.
I think I know the meaning of what goes beyond that.
Is it to the extent of ‘If I could tell you, I told you a long time ago’.
“…”
And, in other words.
It means that it is a fact that even a human who is building a continental unit to stop the demons with me as the subject cannot reveal it to me.
“…Are you serious?”
After hearing my words, Atalanta glared at me with angry eyes this time.
This expression is probably something like ‘You said that?’.
As if the cause was me.
“It’s serious, but it doesn’t matter because you’re going to blame it anyway.”
“…”
“My suffering is now over. All that remains is for you to suffer.”
“…”
“Just kidding.”
I look at the President with a cold sweat as he speaks with a smile.
I don’t think half of it was a joke.
Without even time to answer, the president continued talking with a sigh.
“…Maybe after a month or so, your body will rebound. I won’t be able to move for a few days, so I’ll have to take care of everything urgent before that happens.”
After saying that, Atalanta held out something to me.
I look at something that resembles a badge that has slid all the way across the desk.
A bronze badge with Elfante’s crest. An item designed to be worn over a uniform.
“…Is this?”
“Did you know that you are in District 3 now?”
Atalanta replied, continuing her yawn.
“El Fante has a total of 6 school districts. Starting from District 3, students are treated as upperclassmen in earnest. It is an ID that can be worn from then on.”
Ah, come to think of it.
There was also such a setting.
And if I remember right, what comes with it…
“Unlike before, it means that ‘obligations’ are imposed on you as well.”
Atalanta continued her words rubbing her eyes.
“From now on, you are in a position where you have to guide the ‘lower students’. You’d better pay attention to every single thing you do.”
“…Is that so?”
“No. Of course, in general, that’s what it means.”
“…”
“You are an exception. Just like you’ve been doing until now, you’ll just have to go around the women like a beast.”
“…”
I feel it all over again.
Now I feel like this person has given up on even saying something back to me.
“However, if it is the only thing that gets stuck. According to school rules, there is one thing that must be done.”
“…”
As soon as I say that, my expression hardens.
I know roughly what to do.
●
Thinking about it, I don’t have the experience of continuing my academy life very faithfully.
In the past, around this time, I even heard a warning from the president that if I didn’t study, I might have to repeat my grade.
In that sense.
“…A club.”
I look at the badge on my uniform while scratching my head.
When you become a high school district, it is not the right time to take classes in the academy as you do now, but to ‘belong’ somewhere.
In other words, it means that you have to figure out where to form your ‘network’. If you’re at the level of Elfante, there’s a very high chance you’ll meet the people you meet here in society.
‘It doesn’t matter where I enlist…’
To be honest, it doesn’t really matter where you go. It’s not like I’m flawed anywhere, so there’s no problem with blending in anywhere.
The problem.
‘This is the ending turning point.’
This seemingly insignificant case of joining a club is the starting point for choosing the axis of the ‘incident’ that runs through the entire game.
Choosing something here doesn’t immediately determine the outcome, but at least it’s clear that it has a direct effect on it.
Since each club has a set of characters that you can meet, I have a strong feeling of deciding who will raise my ‘favorability’ the fastest.
Maybe Riru and Seras in the Knight Department, Faenol in the Magic Department, and Lucien and Yuria in the Divinity Department…
There will be characters and events that are specialized for that side.
It’s like deciding which character to spend the most ‘time’ with.
I have no choice but to choose where to enter from my point of view.
Walking down the aisle with that thought in mind.
“Teacher-nim-!”
With that kind of voice, someone pressed me from behind as if to attack me.
Continuing, he supported my staggering body with his own body and covered my eyes with one hand.
“Who is it?”
“…”
“If you get the answer right, I will give you a prize!”
No.
Elija is the same as the title, even if you just hear the voice.
“Elijah, my lower back hurts right now-“
“Because I got it right.”
Having said that, Elijah gently lowered her hand that was covering her eyes.
It rides down her neck to my uniform top.
“Can I give you a prize?”
“…”
That’s him.
In the Duchy of Tristan, he was quiet until the Harvest Festival, but during that period, he seemed to have made a very firm ‘resolve’.
Someone has taken away my beginning, so even if I can’t do it, I must get there quickly.
If an excuse arises, they will terrifyingly rush to do such a sticky skinship.
“…No, thinking about it again, it’s like a different person-“
“If you don’t answer correctly, I will punish you.”
“…”
Are you a robber?
What do you want from me?
Thinking that way, I take a deep breath at the feeling that comes down my body stickyly.
“…Elijah, stop-“
“Ah, playful.”
I thought it would be a bit dangerous if it went on like this, so I raised a slightly serious voice, but as soon as I felt that way, Elijah quickly backed off.
“…”
I stare at Elijah, who has a wide smile hanging over her face.
I always feel like this, so it’s difficult to deal with him these days.
From my point of view, they charge aggressively to the point where it’s embarrassing, but if I find something unpleasant, I’ll back off on my own and there’s nothing I can say no to.
“By the way, what are you worried about? You look worse than usual.”
“…”
Then, seeing Elijah looking at me with a serious expression and asking, she sighs inwardly.
I can’t escape. Really.
After awakening as a hero, it feels like his obsession with me has risen to the level of Elnor.
[It’s my little brother, but I don’t know. I had a foxy side like that from before.]
‘…Then tell me how to defeat it.’
[Uh, I don’t know because I’ve never seen him fail in anything he’s set up to do?]
‘…’
That’s not really helpful, man.
Thinking that way, I answer meekly.
“No, because of the club.”
“…Ah, ah…”
As soon as I heard my words, Elijah put her hand on her chin, ummm, and she began to ponder something.
“Are you suffering from being caught among women again?”
From noble mtl dot com
“…”
That’s an accurate description.
No matter which side you enter, there will definitely be people with dissatisfaction.
Thinking of that, I let out a sigh.
“Do you have any ideas?”
“No, even though it’s a thought, I’m doing something…”
Said Elijah scratching her head.
“If it is difficult to get into any school club, can’t the teacher just make one?”
“…”
“I heard that District 3 and onwards have the authority to do so?”
Uh.
That.
What?

Yea, that’s a good way to not prioritize anyone but gather them all in one place…
Elijah has awakened as a genius
