90 - Shal-chan's secret meeting.








 The number of clients who used to come to me for advice was reduced to a trickle by the fact that I had the princess and the prince as my contact points.

 I was enjoying cartoons in my log house in the remote count's territory when I was finally able to retreat to my heart's content. Then...



"Brother, I'm back!



 Charlotte came home full of energy. This girl has been living in this log house (although she has a room in the dormitory) for the time she is attending the institute.



"Hey Charlotte, welcome back .................., what's up?"



 Charu puts down her school bag and moves busily from one place to another. He keeps his school uniform on, but he also brushes his hair and checks his grooming.



"I'm going to meet someone now. We have to be careful not to be rude.



 Hmmm, some important person of nobility? I'm not involved in this at all, but being the daughter of an important position as a frontier count, is it ...... possible for Char, even at a young age, to show up at social gatherings or something like that?



"Well, brother, I'm off!"



 My sister went out with a lot of enthusiasm, and I felt uneasy.

 What kind of a person is she going to meet dressed up (or maybe not so dressed up)?



"You don't mean a man?"



 Ha ha, no way, only for Char, ha ha ha .......



"It's not impossible!"



 I'm getting very worried. No, but yes, you're right.

 As a brother, I'm obligated to confirm who it is. Because he's my brother. Because he's my brother. That's what a big brother does, right? See?



 We can check it from here by flying surveillance wards. I'd like to do so, but I hesitate to do so because I feel like I'm peeping into my sister's privacy.



 So, I decided to disappear with an optical camouflage ward and follow her. This way, I am not a voyeur. And I'm looking at them without any fear of being seen! (No thought of hiding)







 --And...

 Charles returned to the campus and walked out of the school gate without looking aside.



 Oh, come on, you're meeting him off campus? Isn't he a school official? So, is the other party an aristocrat after all?



 Charu, however, moved from one alley to another to avoid being seen without using a horse-drawn carriage, and eventually came to an area that looked unsafe.

 It looked like a place where a drunkard might be slumped down on the street, but there was not a single dog or wolf in sight.



 What the hell? Who am I meeting in a place like this? I have a sense of déjà vu, but isn't this a ? I was getting more and more anxious.






 A voice reached me, making my ears shiver. It's a communication barrier. I respond in a whisper so that Charles does not notice.



"Frey, what's wrong?"



>



 Oh, I left the tools Char asked me to use scattered all over the place.



Just put it over here where it belongs.






 And as he spoke.



"Sorry to keep you waiting.



 Charles turned the corner of the alley and stood at the end of the street.



"No, I'm glad you made it here without getting lost. I'm sorry I called you out.



 A silver-haired, handsome man, ......? No way, no way, no way that I was really meeting a young man!

 I mean, I've seen him before.



 <!



 The leader of the secret organization , composed entirely of students.

 What was his name again? I think I'm in my fourth year, a,a ...... thing?



"No, I'm glad you invited me. Alexei Gubeluk."



 Oh, yeah, he had a name like that. Whatever.

 Yeah. I don't care about that sorry group right now.

 The fact that a handsome man is making fun of my sister...



"They must be destroyed. ......"



<>



"I'll get rid of the bad bugs (that cling to Char) myself. ......"



<<..................>>



 Oops, I almost made a funny switch.

 We haven't decided yet that <1> is scaring Char.

 But, <1>, touch Char with even one finger! At that moment, I will drag you down to the mysterious space-time.



 Let him live in the endless darkness with a little water and food. Let him drown in his own feces and urine, and let the eternal darkness rape his soul!



 I follow them, staring at them with half-open eyes.




 There was no conversation at all, and Char was walking along behind the <1> person.



"?"



 He stopped abruptly and turned around.

 I stopped just as suddenly. It's hard for me to stay frozen in this unreasonable position with my feet outstretched.



Charlotte, is something wrong?



"......"



 Charles is staring at me. What? Did they notice you by any chance? Optical camouflage warding should be perfect. .......



"No, it's nothing."



 Char turns around, smiles at you, and follows the <1> again.

 They don't notice me ......, do they? But sometimes he has a super sense that I'm in trouble. Why?



 Anyway, I resumed following him.



 They entered an old apartment complex. It looks familiar or not, but I guess I'm finally going to have to get my act together.



 Bringing a little girl into a deserted building?

 That's what this is, right?

 Inside, there's a bunch of oracles hanging out with their buddies and welcoming them with a sneer, right? There's a high-definition camera and lights and stuff. And then they do this and that and the other to the little girls...!



"Well, you can change in my room. Just like we told you beforehand."



 The <<1>> smiles a crooked smile and continues down the hallway. Charles enters the room he has been assigned.

 Changing clothes, huh? I'm sure he's wearing revealing clothes... ...... Wait a minute.

 There's a very familiar wooden box on the floor.



 It has the number <<7> written on it, and when Char opens it, he finds some empty bottles with ...... a double bottom. And there was a white kantou gown and a pointy hood that hid his face--.





"I'm here to introduce you now! I am Charlotte Semphis, the new !"



 In a mysterious room at the far end of the building, white-hooded people gather around a table.

 In the heavy but funny atmosphere, my sister with the letter <<7>> on her forehead greeted them cheerfully.



"...... No, you said you don't have to tell me your name here, right?"



"Ha!? I'm sorry. I just... I accidentally..."



 I bet he's just peeking inside his cape, Charu's head is shaking. Cute.



 Wait a minute.

 Hmm? What is the situation with this? Why is Char a member of the wacky group?

 Confused, I decided to stay in the corner of the room to solve the mystery...
