125 – [▷ Yes.]
“Hmm.”
Meanwhile, the drawing room of the Cloud family.
With five informants lined up in front, Conrad sat side by side with two other patriarchs.
“Is everything true?”
A cross-shaped scar under the eye, and white hair neatly combed back. Conrad, head of the Cloud family, asks the informants with a solemn expression.
“Yes, yes. Undoubtedly.”
That was the answer of the informant who bowed his head in front of him. Conrad stared at him blankly.
The informant’s entire body was shaking.
“What if it wasn’t true?”
“Yes… ?”
Conrad put a cigar in his mouth and lit it.
He exhaled, but the smoke didn’t spread, only hovering around Conrad. Acting, as it was his unique ability and sword at the same time.
“If the information is not true, how will I be held accountable?”
“Yes, it is true. I culled and culled again.”
Conrad then nodded his head.
Lately, he’s been collecting information like crazy. He did not cover any information related to the subjugation ceremony, and he did not count the number of gold coins entered.
“Yes.”
Conrad threw the bag of gold coins he had promised as a reward onto the floor one after another. There were five in total.
“Heo-eok.”
“To disappear before my eyes.”
“Yes, I will. Thank you!”
After taking the bag of gold coins, the informants left as if they were running away. Then they fall to the floor once, collide with each other once, and run hurriedly.
“The pitiful things.”
Conrad glared at them and let out smoke.
“What do lowly things know? You understand.”
The head of the Saxony family, who was sitting side by side, showed a relaxed smile. He examines the papers handed over by the informants and continues his words.
“Still, the Magic Faculty is making a fuss about it.”
“My interest in magic has increased overall. Some of them follow the leading mages.”
The one grumbling beside him was the head of the Tutor family. Both were knights who agreed with Conrad.
The head of the Saxony family nodded.

“Yes. Did group coverage become an interesting thing that many people want for nothing? There are even those who have affection for the representatives of the Faculty of Magic.”
Despite the end of the subjugation system, public interest in the subjugation system has rather grown.
What happened inside the danger zone, what it is like there, and each of the later stories become a hot topic.
However, rather, it angered Conrad.
Someone tried to take advantage of the subjugation system, but he rather lost his child. He even had to struggle in the future to hide the fact that his son, Qian, had become a Mine.
Finally, Conrad also opened his mouth.
“Recently, it seems that the second princess has also increased her interest in mages. The same goes for this group coverage.”
“It’s not just the princess. Even within the imperial family, the opinions of the knights began to diverge.”
“It started to grind.”
“Now, to just admit it, to watch it, to step on it…. That’s all I can think of.”
The Saxon family, the Tutor family, those gathered today belonged to the hardline faction, if we had to argue, to break them.
The head of the Saxony family laughed at Conrad.
“Still. It is reassuring that Conrad agrees with you. If you join the will with the reckless, you will do things wrong.”
“I just do my job.”
Conrad answered calmly.
Of course, Konrad was in a position where he had no choice but to join this side. It’s because if the representatives of the Faculty of Magic are alive, the fact that my son Kian has become a demon may leak out at any time.
“But Plan Gnome is amazing. Even though he is young, one skill is certain.”
“So you should move more carefully.”
Plans are a little different. No, it’s definitely different.
The fact that my son Kian became a demon was truly shocking, but the fact that Plan survived facing it was even more shocking.
“If you do your best, there is no failure in the end.”
How did the Cloud family get here?
This is because the daughter, who is good at netting, rolls capital, and Conrad has removed all those who get in the way.
No one will ever know that his son became a demon. It had to be.
“Flan….”
However.
Why? The moment I mumbled that name, a strange feeling of uneasiness surrounded my body.
What people often call ominous. Whatever it was, it wasn’t something he could ignore.
“Why is that?”
“Ha.”
However, I blew away that ominous feeling with ridicule.
If you acknowledge the ability of the other person and do your best, you will never fail.
Conrad once again sucked in his smoke.

“My God, what kind of skin is better than a newborn baby. Rather ambiguous what to put on?”
“Yes.”
Trixie muttered as she sat in front of the dressing table.
Right before the group coverage, the court lady helping with the makeup spits out exclamations in succession. She dipped her paintbrush into the cream and carefully spread it over Trixie’s face.
“Yes.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Aha.”
“I am not very interested in makeup.”
After that, praise continued towards Trixie, but the person concerned only gave a dry response.
“Ah, yes. Then I’ll just do it lightly. hahahaha….”
The lady-in-waiting smiled awkwardly and sweated profusely.
In the first place, it seemed that Trixie had no time to talk to anyone because she was all focused on Trivia’s contact.
And the destination of the letters she sent was me.
[*Trixie]
[▶ That skin is like a baby]
[▶ You can come and see for yourself heh heh ]
[▶ Would you like to stretch my cheeks later?]
[▶ Ugh, but I have to work harder to meet you]
[▶ Do you want to do a group interview today?]
After thinking about it for a while, I sent an answer.
[▷ Yes.]
“Oops.”
Trixie popped the trivia, her eyes wide open as she covered her sound.
The lady-in-waiting who assisted in makeup is also surprised.
“Oh, why? Is it even this deep?”
“No. No.”
Trixie’s face was serious.
“… Please make me very elegant.”
With a markedly different attitude from earlier, Trixie stares at herself in the dressing table. Only then did I cover the trivia.
Twenty minutes passed like that.
“Hmm.”
Finally, I finished trimming my appearance. Trixie looked around at her and brushed the hair on the side of him behind her ear.
“You.”
And then he started talking to me.
I stared at her. She meant to continue if she had something to say.
“Do you have anything to say to me?”
At the sudden question, I looked at her.
It’s a little more elegant than usual. It must have been natural since she was wearing a dress, not an academy uniform.
Not much to guess.
“Do you want a compliment from me?”
“That’s not it.”
Trixie holds out one of her hands to me.
“Give me.”
I didn’t know the meaning, so I ignored it, but Trixie seemed to open and close her palm several times.
“Give me more.”
“Looks like you wanted an assignment.”
“Mr. Teaching. There will be at least one item that you want me to deliver.”
“No.”
There was silence for a while.
Trixie blinked her eyes a couple of times.
“… It can’t be.”
“No.”
“Unconditionally. Give it.”
Around that time, I heard Louis burst into small laughter. Come to think of it, Lewis was drawing something on the notebook.
Since I was looking at Trixie and I in turns, it wasn’t hard to guess what Lewis was drawing.
Trixie narrowed her brows.
“What are you doing?”
“It would be nice to leave our daily life as a picture. Besides, you know what? You two get along pretty well.”
“It doesn’t suit me at all. And don’t draw.”
“I only hand it over when the painting is complete. Whether to keep it or throw it away is up to the person concerned.”
Then he smiles softly. It was a good smile.
Trixie manifested blue flames. Trivia tries to burn Lewis’ trivia, but it’s nicely blocked by a curtain of light.
“Today’s group coverage, will the reaction be good?”
The lady-in-waiting of the imperial palace smiled brightly. Trixie looked at her maid as if she heard something strange.
“Suddenly?”
“Yes. People like it when representatives have a close relationship. Everyone here seems to be like that.”
“….”
Trixie was tidying up her hair for no reason. She cleared her throat and began examining the pile of papers on her desk.
Louis sneaks up to me and whispers.
“Trixie must have made a questionnaire to prepare for. It looks like he stayed up all night doing that.”
But it’s quite loud for her whisper, so Trixie spills it, squinting her eyes.
“People will be interested in our family, but I am the eldest daughter of the Fritz family. It’s only natural that you do your best as the next head of household.”
“Ahahahaha, is that so? I have no idea. In the first place, the subject of coverage is everyday life. I have no idea what to ask.”
Lewis had some truth in his words. Trixie’s diligent preparation attitude is admirable, but in fact, the subject of the group coverage was a problem.
Daily life.
Those two letters are only the composition of the coverage, but it is so comprehensive that it is impossible to grasp in detail.
You can talk about the magic that permeates the wizard’s daily life, but isn’t it different from talking about a completely private story?
“Are the preparations going well? Oh, it’s going well.”
Violet, who came into the waiting room belatedly, looked at us once and said. Especially when I saw Trixie, my eyes widened once more.
Violet secretly clings to me.
“Are all three of you in good shape? Since the place is the imperial palace, everyone must be a bit nervous.”
“No different than usual.”
“Then you don’t have to worry too much. This time, I’ll only trust the flan students. Oh, and.”
Violet blinks.
“The funds of the Magic Tower. I heard you told the president that there is a way, but by any chance that way means a group interview?”
“Group coverage is just one of the methods.”
“I see. Because I really don’t know.”
Violet nodded a couple of times.
«And speaking of the power source, is it okay to keep it as normal as it is now? It’s because the blood demons don’t seem to be standing still.”
“I am responsible.”
“Okay. Then you have to believe it.”
Violet smiled.
◈
Finally, the group coverage began.
The garden of the imperial family, named ‘Coexistence’. In a mysterious place where the four seasons coexist at the same time, the coverage began.
Representatives standing on the sidelines, bureaucrats holding crystal balls everywhere. Their faces became quite serious.
“Nice to meet you. I am Irene, who is hosting today.”
Irene said her goodbye, brushing her pale green hair down the back of her neck. Unlike her other bureaucrats, she didn’t look very nervous.
“….”
Her gaze stays on me for a while.
Then she shook her head.
“It’s nothing. It just seemed like Flan wasn’t the only one who wasn’t nervous here.”
Irene clapped her palms together with a relaxed smile. It was the signal for the group coverage to begin.
“Shall we start with a light question? That is not difficult at all. Great. Today’s coverage topic is everyday life….”
Sweeping her light green hair, Irene takes a look around her representatives.
“Okay, Becky first.”
In the end, Becky was the first to be called.
From noble mtl dot com
“Among the representatives, who do you like best?”
Becky tell em
Really? Starting off with the most obvious and powerful question lmaooo
