Chapter 57 – Midterm Exam (1)
First.
I decided to break up with my sister for a while.
I wasn’t ready to sign a contract right away, and since I had time to visit on the weekend, I had to go back to the academy.
“I’ll prepare everything on my own, so go and see the agreement with the other kids first.”
Called.
It wasn’t wrong to say it, because Iris and I still haven’t reached an agreement.
“Can I help you?”
“I’m sending you a letter, so please send me what’s written on it.”
“That’s about it…”
I wanted to take my older sister with me to the academy, but she hated it on the older sister’s side.
“You can’t even use your legs right now, so what are you doing there? I’m going to go there next year anyway.”
So, I left the Taylor estate, promising to see you again before the vacation came.
My sister herself did not want to express it, saying that she would rather use her legs a little than me, who had lost her memory, but she was frankly not happy about it.
Anyway, isn’t it true that I can’t use my legs?
Since she couldn’t let her sister lose the use of her leg forever, she planned to find a way as soon as she returned to the academy.
Try to find a way to find memories.
“Scarlett! How have you been?”
When I returned to the academy through the warp gate, Sister Letty greeted me.
Even though I only saw him in two days, he gave me a tight hug as he hugged me in his arms and hugged me.
“Sister. Did you miss me?”
“Then I wanted to see you. Wouldn’t you like to see it?”
After hugging and talking with my sister for a while, I suddenly realized that the surroundings were quiet.
To be precise, he knew that there was no sign of anything, so he hugged his sister.
“There is no one. There are usually quite a lot of people at this time.”
There is no need to use a warp gate if it is close, but the warp gate is always active during this time to deliver letters to cadets and servants returning to their home, or to their home.
But now it was as quiet as on a weekday noon.
“It’s exam period soon.”
“Ah.”
I nodded.
Just because I’m relaxed doesn’t mean the other cadets can’t be relaxed either.
On the contrary, wouldn’t it be more strange from the point of view of other cadets?
Even though it was an upcoming test, I wasn’t too worried.
At least, the professors dropped me for the first-year lecture, which focused on writing, and I’m listening to the second-year lecture, which focuses on practical skills.
The remaining first year lectures are ‘Ancient Magic’ and ‘Duel Studies’.
Dueling studies is the most practical lecture among the first year lectures, and I am the only one who can actually implement ‘ancient magic’ within the academy in the first place.
No matter how important the theory is, it’s rather strange that I’m not the chief.
“Are you sure?”
Based on these calculations, when I showed a very relaxed attitude, my sister asked quietly as she returned to the dormitory and played with her hands on the bed.
He didn’t look too worried.
“Test?”
“Huh. It’s nothing special when it comes to exams, but there’s a difference between not preparing at all and having prepared.”
Hmm.
“Your sister is the senior in the second year.”
I gently stroked the nodding sister’s chin.
Garleung-. With her chin like a cat’s, rubbing her cheek against the palm of my hand, my sister gently climbed into my arms.
“Your sister can teach you, then.”
Soft voice. As I whispered while caressing her soft skin with the palm of my hand, my sister’s eyes loosened.
“It’s cheesy. What do you want to learn?”
“Well.”
Leticia’s waist began to move.
Our shadows overlapped.
Next day.
At the point where the exam was really near, to go to the ‘Ancient Magic’ lecture, I put my sister on the bed, who was crying out for her own cancellation while holding on to her waist, and headed to the lecture room with Daisy.
Coming in a few days
When I attended after a long time, the gazes inside the classroom gathered and then dispersed in an instant.
“Let’s go to the back.”
“Yes.”
With Daisy following calmly from behind, I took my usual seat in the back row.
And after a while, I hear the voice I’ve been waiting for.
“Can I sit next to you?”
“Of course, Your Highness.”
They smiled and greeted each other, and Iris took a seat next to her.
I’ve been away for the past few weeks, but it’s a steady sight since the beginning of the semester.
The other cadets also looked this way for a moment, then turned their heads forward again.
At first, it seemed like the fact that the princess and I were sitting at the very back felt a lot of pressure, but now it seemed like she was used to that too.
Besides, it’s the exam period soon.
“Are your preparations for the exam going well?”
Iris, who was sitting next to her, asked.
In fact, everyone sitting in this lecture room will know.
The head of the ancient magic lecture, of course, would be the only one who could use ancient magic.
Iris probably doesn’t know that either, but she insists on saying things like this…
“Yes, Your Highness?”
I want to show the image of me having a friendly conversation in front of others.
“Whoops. I am working hard, but it is a bit difficult.”
Is that so——, before she could even open her mouth to answer, Iris spoke again.
“Teach me something, brother.”
Flinch.
Daisy’s body trembled as she stood guarding the spot behind me.
I don’t think anyone else has heard of it. I smiled softly and answered in a volume that only Daisy and Iris could hear.
“Aren’t you surprised when I suddenly call you that?”
“Are you surprised? I don’t think you’re surprised at all.”
“I was surprised. Even if you see it like this.”
“Huh.”
Iris, who let go of her snort, now rested her chin on her chin and stared at me.
With a smile on his eyes and a soft smile on his lips, he was staring at me like that without saying a word. Putting aside my burdensomeness, the cadets in the row from the back to the front seemed to have noticed the subtle air current here. Seemed to care.
“…”
The cadets in the front row were pricking their ears, but it was difficult to open their mouths, so I picked up the pen.
‘What are you doing.’
‘I’m trying to seduce my older brother.’
Flinch.
Daisy, who had been standing silently behind her, trembled once again.
Apparently, he sneaked out and overheard Iris talking in writing.
It doesn’t matter if it’s Daisy, not anyone else.
I picked up the pen again to reply to Iris’ text.
‘Temptation?’
‘Temptation.’
“Majesty.”
“… Yes?”
During the conversation.
Iris, who had been waiting for my reply, was called by her voice, and Iris, startled, lifted her head.
I think she chewed her tongue.
Perhaps embarrassed that her pronunciation was twisted, Iris covered her blushing cheek with one of her hands.
“Something…”
“Do you have time after the lecture?”
…
It was quiet.
Not just the front row, but the entire classroom was silent for a moment.
Upon hearing my words, Iris opened her mouth slightly as if taken aback,
“Eh, oh, yes. Hour… There is…”
I replied, but it seemed that I did not notice the atmosphere inside the classroom.
Hmm.
“I’m adding this in case you misunderstand.”
“Yes…”
As I continued speaking, the tense atmosphere in the lecture room that had been quiet for a moment was relieved.
What to do with this
“This is a date request, so please dress nicely.”
“Yeah…”
I bit my tongue again.
It’s like a beaten hero.
…
The classroom was as quiet as if a bomb had dropped.
What did I just hear? Most of the cadets, with a smile on their faces, did not dare to look this way and barely endured turning their heads.
But.
It’s great news that Chepeshu and the royal family are involved.
I pretended not to know
Iris, who was parenting by the side, came back to her senses after a while, and seemed to notice the atmosphere inside the classroom that had changed after my remark.
What.
He tried to show a relationship by being subtly friendly with me, so I was just driving a wedge?
‘Brother’
‘Brother’
‘Brother?’
‘Brother’
‘Why are you ignoring me?’
‘Hey’
‘Yah!’
You can’t tell me what to say, Iris’s way of working hard with the pen was pretty cute.
She even stopped because of the professor who came in soon after.

Surprisingly, rumors didn’t spread that much.
Maybe it’s because they’re too old-fashioned to dare to talk about it, or it’s because they’re considered too unreliable.
Either way, it was regrettable that rumors didn’t spread as much as expected, but the goal of spreading rumors was achieved.
To stab the imperial family once.
During the thousand-year history of the empire, the head of Chepes, who had maintained a somewhat confrontational stance and balanced it, was a picture of the head of Chepes reaching out to the imperial family.
There was only one reason why he dared to stab the imperial family.
With the exception of the hero Iris, all of them were writers who could not be trusted.
After learning that this world is not a “Blue Rose Garden” But a “Blue Lily Garden”, I asked my sister again and confirmed it. Confirmed that there was also
Iris’ help is needed to deal with the demon king. He had no intention of letting her be tied down by the imperial family’s restraints.
I’m the head of Chepes, and even if I’m the emperor of the empire, I can’t do anything to me, so I tried to stop the imperial family from doing something stupid to keep Iris in check by showing the movement to protect Iris.
“Your brother is an idiot…”
After hearing what I said, Iris couldn’t even get mad, though she hesitated and let out a sigh.
It was a cute look.
