029. Thinking about helplessness (2)
Ron rams the torso with her shield in front.
Ron had no hesitation even though it was a priestly uniform rather than a combat uniform. He holds the wire, pushing back Rose’s followers.
In the last room, Tia casts her magic.
Although he is a descendant of the cursed clan, he is a student who entered the academy after being recognized for his skills. She wipes out not only Rose’s followers but also escaped monsters with her superior level of Lightning Elemental magic.
Tiada is the most powerful thing in Lucius’ party. Everyone in the square realizes that fact.
That’s why the remaining followers of Rose rush at once to defeat Tia.
The one clinging to Tia like that is Lucius.
It’s hard to say that it was properly learned swordsmanship. Its movements are somewhat violent, and in some ways it can be said to be barbaric.
Still, the sword is strangely neat.
Even though I don’t know the specific technique, I can feel that I’m quite used to the sword itself.
As befits a protagonist endowed with the power of a warrior, Lucius knocked out all of Rose’s followers who attacked one after another.
The composition of the battlefield has already been decided.
“I won’t go soon, Marie.”
Rose will be stepping down soon.
Before that, I have to get out of here first.
“…Are you going?”
“Yes. It was my original purpose to inform you of this fact.”
“I see…”
Marie nodded her head with a puzzled expression.
‘… Should I comfort you?’
At that moment, I felt that way.
However, he soon shook his head.
There’s nothing good about being in love with Marie.
Because sooner or later you will be separated from Marie.
“…The day after tomorrow, see you at the underground water dungeon.”
But why don’t you leave without saying anything?
Marie seemed to be looking this way, but I had already turned my back. He jumped from the tree and came down to the ground.
But it does not leave the central garden.
I hid myself some distance away from Marie.
“The damage is not insignificant. Miss Tia’s mismanagement of the wheelbarrow has left all of my followers injured?”
Rose walks gracefully among the fallen followers.
He deliberately puts on a pitiful expression. As if she was the victim herself.
“Don’t be silly, Rose Eiffeltain. Are you trying to blame Tia for what you did? Do you think that will work?”
“Yes, I think it will work well enough. No one will believe Miss Tia’s words.”
“I will testify with you. Can’t you see the priest’s uniform I’m wearing?”
Said Ron, holding onto the collar of his priestly robe.
“I was endowed with the blessings of Gerginia, the one God, and I swore never to lie as long as I lived. I will testify that you did everything!”
“I’m well aware of the clergy’s oath. Then, if you’re confident, why don’t you testify?”
Rose smiles as if she is confident.
Why am I so confident? A priest who cannot lie said he would stand as a witness.
Ron, who went out hard because he couldn’t figure out the reason, was embarrassed at the moment.
It was when Ron unwittingly took a step back.
“They’re talking about something interesting. Can you join me, juniors?”

Then, a person gets in between the two.
She was a woman with her red hair fluttering like flames.
She
She wears glasses and she looks intelligent for a moment, but somehow she has a smile that looks like she’s about to go wild.
She is truly a girl who fits the word heroine.
“…The 3rd year chief, Lapiska.”
Rose involuntarily mumbles the name.
She smiles as if Lapiska is having fun hearing that.
“Hello, Junior Rose Epeltaine. Your story is occasionally being told among the 3rd years.”
“It’s such an honor….But I’m talking to my classmates, can you step aside, senpai?”
“Aren’t freshmen fearless these days? I like juniors who don’t have manners.”
After saying that, Lapis Car raised her arm towards Rose Eiffeltain.
In her hand is her gun.
Lapiska laughs as she points her gun at Rose Eiffeltain’s forehead.
“Even though I look like this, it’s because I’m an honorary leader. Even though it’s just a title, I was asked to do so, so please resolve this mess quickly.”
“…….”
“So, unfortunately, I can’t leave. I’m going to solve this case from now on.”
– Bang!
Lapis Car pulled her trigger.
Rose, startled by the sound of her gunfire, momentarily closed her eyes, but her bullets did not point at Rose.
When Rose slowly opened her eyes again, one of her wagon wheels was shattering.
“……What are you doing?”
“I told you. You’re going to solve this case from now on.”
-Bang, bang, bang!
Lapis Car continues to fire her bullets at her cart.
The cart is completely tattered and becomes a junk in no time.
“I’m sorry, Junior Lucius. I was practicing target shooting nearby and I got shot in the cart of the juniors. I’m going to apologize to Professor Milas.”
Then he says so.
Hearing that, Rose widened her eyes, and Lucius made a surprised expression.
“Lapiska-senpai… Can’t it be that Lapiska-senpai is going to blame her for everything?!”
“What are you talking about, junior Lucius? It was all my fault from the beginning?”
“Lapisca-senpai doesn’t have to do that…!!”
“Is this enough, junior Rose Eiffeltain?”
As if not hearing Lucius’ words, Lapisca kicked the cartridge case that had fallen to the ground.
And she still looks at Rose Eiffeltain with a smile on her face.
“You’ve crossed the line by getting other people involved. So let’s stop here, junior Rose Eiffeltain.”
“…….”
Rose couldn’t go against that.
Lapisca.
He is not an aristocrat, but a commoner who is not from a wealthy family.
But he is the head of the year.
Rose knew what that position meant.
“I’m going to step down especially this time. But you’d better be prepared, Ms. Tia.”
So Rose leaves the plaza with her injured followers.
It is a messy landscape as if a storm has passed.
The students who were watching are gone, so Lucius and his party are the only ones in the square.
Only me and Mari, who have yet to come down from the tree, remain still.
I picked up the fireball.
“.”
I threw the ball at Marie.
To be precise, I aimed for the tree branch where Marie was sitting.
Tree branches snap.
“Huh? Eh…?”
Marie makes a face that doesn’t seem to understand what has happened.
Preoccupied with the departed Rose, it seemed that he didn’t even realize the existence of my ball.
Without even preparing for it, her Marie’s body leaned forward.
“Kyaaa!!!”
Marie falls from the tree.
With Lucius and his party all looking towards Mari at the shrieking sound.
Lapisca jumps out first.
“Oops. Look at how light it is. Are you eating properly?”
“I’m sorry…!!”
Lapisca catches the fallen horse. And Marie apologizes while holding Lapiska in her arms.
Seeing that, I feel relieved.
Just like the original story, I finally got Marie to meet Lucius and the others.

# Unknown Saga Chapter 1 Encounter Event Script
[Ron] “So you’re not Rose Eiffeltain?”
[Marie] “Uh, yeah…”
[Lapisca] “You can tell by looking at it, junior Ron.”
[Lapisca] “Do you think this girl is the same person as the Rose Eiffeltain junior I saw earlier?”
[Ron] “No, I know… They have the same face.”
[Lucius] “I said Marie Ruhelif.”
[Lucius] “Are you a twin with Rose Eiffeltain?”
[Marie] “Yes, that’s right…”
[Ron] “But why are the last names different?”
[Marie] “That’s…”
[Marie] “Eh, there’s a problem with the Eiffeltain marquis…”
[Ron] “Is there a problem with the Marquis of Eiffeltain?”
[Marie] “It’s a story that all aristocratic students know… Ho, in case you don’t know…?”
[Lapisca] “Even if I’m the top of the third year, I’m still a commoner.”
[Lapisca] “Unfortunately, rumors about nobles are dark.”
[Marie] “That’s right…”
[Marie] “…….”
[Marie] “There is a Marquis of Eiffeltain…”
—–
“There is a Marquis of Eiffeltane… Huh, all the heirs are dead…. Due to a fight over the successor…”
Stuttering, Marie explains.
“It’s not just the heir who died… The entire lord’s family died… Yo, because of the poison in the cooking…”
“That must have been a big deal. Then what the hell is Rose Eiffeltain?”
“I, the former lord luckily survived…”
The former Marquis of Eiffel-Tane, who had already handed over the position of lord to her son and was leisurely living in the villa. But when she heard that her son’s family had died, she was forced to return.
The former lord, who had returned, used his skill to rule the family somehow.
He gathered the divided vassals in one place, removed all danger factors, and succeeded in managing the confused public sentiment well.
Now there is only one problem left.
The seat of the new lord who will succeed the former lord.
The former lord is an old man who retired early. For an old man, he was still lively, but it was obvious that his lifespan would not last long.
The Marquis of Eiffeltain had to somehow bring in an heir.
“She said that was her sister….”
The former lord actually had a daughter. She is the daughter of the Countess of Ruhelif.
The daughter gave birth to twin sisters from Countess Ruhelif, and named them Rose and Marie respectively.
The former lord of Eiffeltane took Rose as his adopted daughter and took her to the Marquess of Eiffeltane.
“That’s what happened…”
Upon learning Rose’s secret, Lucius and his party become dazed.
The villain who has been tormenting them all this time has a secret, and the story is too far away for commoners.
Well, this should be enough.
With that thought, I got up from my seat.
‘Everything is going back to the original.’
The fact that Lucius and the others will come face to face with Rose today, and the fact that Lucius found Marie hiding in her.
Marie telling the story of Rose was also all predestined.
From now on, Lucius will know the truth.
That Rose is not actually a villain.
That there was a reason Rose had to bully Tia.
“Shall we go?”
I decided to open this place.
Lucius and the others were asking Mari about something, but there was no need to listen. Because I was having the same conversation as the original.
I’m fine with that as long as the main scenario flows normally. Lucius will take care of the future.
This side has work to do this way.
There are a lot of things to buy before attacking the underground water dungeon, and there are also many items to make.
Not only that, but you should start preparing for a settlement with Claire from now on.
Before leaving, I looked towards Mari for the last time.
Marie’s eyes met.
His face seemed to want to say something, but I shook my head and left.
On the way back to the dormitory.
Everywhere I move my feet, it’s hard to find a human figure.
If it was natural, it was natural.
About half of the students are in class at the time.
About half of them will be public lectures, but most of them will be in living quarters or libraries.
Because of that, I don’t see any students heading to the dormitory.
It was when I was thinking that.
“.”
The attack came with a clear voice from behind.
It was a loud voice, as if to be heard.
I was caught off guard because of it, but I managed to react.
As I pulled away quickly, a stone shard passed right next to my face.
“Huh? It’s Ariel. Hi, Ariel!”
Claire waved his hand as if nothing was wrong.
His other hand holds a sword.
