164 – [Side Story] Student from the East Continent – 23
Even if it is a huge organization that dominates the empire’s back world, the reason why it avoids requests for people who should not be touched. Is simple.
This is because if you become an ‘organization’ rather than an ‘individual’, you do not take on risks alone.
It is a problem for an individual to run away alone, but for an organization, its members and families may be in danger.
That is why organizations tend to be more self-sufficient than individuals.
Therefore, no organization, including the Allon family, received a contract from Chris.
In the end, on that day, Chris had no choice but to trudge back to the academy without any results.
Gurgling
My stomach rumbled.
Come to think of it, I went out during lunch time and came back without eating, so I was probably hungry.
Lunch time is almost over, but there may still be time for a quick meal.
With that in mind, Chris headed to her academy cafeteria.
Her voice came to Chris’s ears.
“Did you just see that? Lady Leifert’s appearance.”
“This is truly outrageous. Do you have any awareness as a noble lady?”
“Well, what would a person who lived as a commoner know?”
These are noble daughters who attend the academy.
The gossip about Alyssa Ray Putt that came out of their mouths hit Chris’s ears.
“Did you see his expression change completely?”
“Yes, I saw it. How disgusting it was to see him completely change his attitude and start crying.”
“She only bothered Martina, who caught her eye.”
“I thought you really didn’t know how to be ashamed?”
Again?
No more voices reached Chris’s ears.
Just the fact that they were swearing at Alyssa was enough.
“I don’t know which one is the one who has no shame.”
“?!”
“K…Chris…?”
The female students are agitated by the appearance of Chris.
To those women, Chris continued to speak with an arrogant attitude.
“Are noble daughters so shameless that they gossip about the weak?”
In this way, when Chris came forward and criticized her gossip about Alyssa, most of the girls would laugh awkwardly and run away.
It was always like that, so Chris had no doubt that it would be like that this time too.
But she wasn’t like that.
“Chris, aren’t you the one who doesn’t know how to be ashamed?”
“What…?”
Among the ladies gathered around her, one of them was staring straight at her and saying that.
Chris was left speechless by the unexpected rebuttal.
“Is that so? Lady Raysil is here, and you have no shame in leaving her alone and only caring about Lady Leifert!!”
“What…What…?”
Daughter of Count Raysil Albris.
Chris’ fiancé of the same age and currently a member of Class B at Belnoa Academy.
But currently she was refusing to go to school.
“Laysil, who are you having trouble with? Do you still only care about Lady Rapert?!”
Chris was unable to utter a single rebuttal to the words of the lady in front of her.
Because it’s all true.
Raysil Albris.
Even though she was separated from Chris because she was in Class B, she was faithfully spending her academy life supporting him.
It was only recently that she refused to go to school.
At Belle Noah Academy, a small party was held for her upperclassmen and lowerclassmen to interact.
Those who are engaged are escorted by their fiancés, while those who are not in such a relationship enjoy the party in appropriate groups, whether of the opposite s*x or the same s*x.
Raysil was also waiting in the dormitory for her fiancé, Chris, to come to escort her.
But he didn’t show up even though it was past time for the party to start.
After her escort was over and her dancing and other actions as her fiancée were over, her friends who had decided to join her also found her absence from Raysil strange.
She can see her fiancé Chris, but she can’t see Ray Seal at all.
Her friends, who thought it was strange, eventually left the academy where the party was held and headed to the dormitory where she was staying.
And then, I found Raysil who was still waiting for Chris in the dormitory.
Her friends informed Ray Sil, who was still trying to wait for Chris, that Chris was already at the party.
Ray Sil headed to the party with her friends, wondering if Chris had forgotten.
And then, she found Chris there, laughing and chatting with her other daughter, forgetting about herself.
‘K…Chris…’
‘Huh? Is it Raysil? ‘I didn’t know she was there.’
Those words were enough for her.
Ray Sil left the party that day, and she returned to the county and did not appear at her academy.
She had little expectation that Chris would come to her and apologize for that fact, which she did.
But in the end, Chris never came to visit Raysil.
Because of her wealth that day, Raysil could not even come out of her own room.
…Until now, that situation has continued.
And, the lady who was right in front of Chris, glaring at him and getting angry, was one of the ladies who was Raysil’s friend at the time.
“You’re the one who has no shame! Chris Maletti! You have no right to say anything to us!”
Due to a heartbreaking incident that happened to her friend, she vents all of her accumulated anger at once.
When she saw Chris unable to respond to her words, she wondered if he, too, was harboring some level of guilt, and her anger was subsiding a little.
However, the person named Chris Maletti was more than she thought.
“It’s noisy!!”
“!!”
The girls flinch at Chris who suddenly gets angry.
Chris shouted with a red face and a face distorted with anger.
“Raysil? That stupid woman wasn’t suitable for me in the first place!!”
“What…What…?”
“She has no talent in swordsmanship or magic…Her grades are average, so why should I care about her?!”
That.
Isn’t that too much?
She, Raysil’s friend, thought so.
Being a friend, she knew well.
For Chris, who is working hard to one day follow in her father’s footsteps and become Prime Minister, her friend always remembers her efforts and tells her that she, too, must become a worthy person.
Remembering that, I couldn’t forgive Chris’s verbal abuse that I had just heard.
Slap!!
So, it would have been natural for the hand to go out.
So hard that Chris’s face turned around.
“Ah…”
After she had already committed, she realized what she had done.
Naturally, Chris’s face was full of anger.
“How dare you…”
The chilling sound of a sword being pulled out from the sheath worn at the waist rang out.
At that sight, the ladies gathered there screamed.
“How dare you…!”
Chris draws his sword and approaches the young lady who is perplexed by her own actions.
All the ladies around her could do was open their eyes filled with fear.
If things continue like this, it is obvious that something terrible will happen.
“Stop!!”
However, the voice that intervened calmed the situation.
“That’s it! Chris Maletti! Put your sword away now!!”
Professor Lesalca Albain.
He is the homeroom teacher of Class A, which Chris belongs to, and the professor in charge of practical magic.
Of course, her skills are strong enough to overpower Chris.
“But Professor, that woman first…”
“Regardless of the reason, it is not admirable for an Imperial man to point his sword at the Lady he is supposed to protect. Chris Maletti. Put away your sword immediately.”
“……”
Chris frowned and tried to open his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he quickly finished speaking.
He pulled out his sword in a moment of anger, but if he actually did it, the things he said to his father made the situation even worse.
Furthermore, Professor Lesalca, who was always smiling, also had a cold expression on his face, as if he was completely angry this time.
Chris clicked his tongue as if to listen, put his sword in its sheath, glared at his surroundings for a moment, and then walked away.
After sending him away, Professor Lesalka looked at the young ladies who were still scared and trembling.
“Lunch time is almost over. Everyone, please go back.”
“Professor…I’m sorry…”
“…No, the voice was heard from far away. I understand how you feel.”
Hearing the professor’s words, the lady who hit Chris looked like she was about to cry.
I felt so sorry for my friend who was still spending his days in tears, stuck in the county, just because of that kind of man.
That evening.
In the imperial palace office, Chancellor Maleti received an audience with the emperor upon his summons.
Recently, various events have been going on, and the emperor has almost no time to rest.
At least I was worried when I heard that additional food aid had arrived in addition to the previous food aid, but even so, the strange phenomena occurring in various places remained the same.
The frequency has decreased significantly in recent years, but even so, victims continue to emerge.
In addition, the prime minister was also unable to leave the imperial palace as he was trying hard to help the emperor resolve the situation.
It’s already been almost a month since I haven’t been able to return home.
“Your Majesty, have you found it?”
“Please sit down, Prime Minister.”
When the Prime Minister entered and greeted him, the Emperor took his eyes off the document he was reading and looked at the Prime Minister.
According to the emperor’s words, the emperor handed something to the prime minister who was sitting in the prepared seat.
“Your Majesty…What is this?”
“I thought it would be difficult for me to judge on my own, so I called you.”
An object that looks like a conch.
The Prime Minister could tell at a glance that it was a magic tool.
“They say something was left at the guard post of the Knights Guard.”
“You mean at the guard post of the Knights Guards? Security will be tight, so who…”
“Well, I’m not sure about that…But there’s content here that’s hard to leave alone.”
The emperor touched the magic tool with some magical energy.
The magic tool began to emit a soft light and emit a voice contained within it.
Hearing that voice, the Prime Minister’s expression gradually turned earthy.
“…What do you think? Prime Minister.”
To the emperor’s words, the prime minister responded with a pained expression, as if he was chewing something bitter.
“…If this isn’t a manipulated voice…It must be his voice.”
“I see.”
Of course, since the contents contained in the magic tool were the contents, the imperial wizards were asked to confirm the authenticity.
We have also obtained confirmation from the magicians that the information recorded with the magic tool has not been tampered with and that it is exactly what it was.
If so, it must be true.

“…What should I do?”
“You should be punished. This is a serious crime.”
“Are you okay? I’m asking this because you are an old friend. This is your son.”
To the emperor’s words, the prime minister bowed his head and answered.
“Because he is my son, he must be punished even more. I will handle it myself tomorrow.”
At the Prime Minister’s words, the Emperor nodded.
