'What? Really! I'm sorry!

　Luna immediately apologized to Rion and bowed her head. Rion didn't seem to be particularly angry about being misnamed, but he seemed to be a little concerned about it.　
　Luna, who was bothered by his appearance, seemed apologetic.

We haven't seen much of Master Rion, so...

　He said. The three of us, except me and Rion, agreed with those words.
　When I asked Chris about it, he gave me an unexpected answer.

'Rion, you don't come to the back of the castle very often. The three of them have already decided to take over the governorship in the future, but their titles are just 'the next head of the family', so the three of them now are actually nobles without a title. That's why they can't easily enter the depths of the royal castle. The only exceptions are those who have an invitation, like at the recent party, or those who are accompanied by the current head of the family. Albert and Cain, the Duke of Sangha and the Marquis of Samos often come to the capital, so they have many opportunities to meet Luna. On the other hand, Count Haust, on the other hand, is not able to leave his domain so easily. They don't come to the castle as often as they should. It's been about three years since the last time I was here........

　He explained in detail.

''I mean, even the incoming head of the family can't meet royalty that easily, but isn't it strange that me and my grandfather, a commoner, get an almost free pass?

　It is. I've been showing my face to the king and the others from time to time, even though I didn't have anything of that magnitude to do (because I was free, because I was lending them a place to dismantle something, because I made a new pastry, etc.).
　The one who responded to my words was Luna, with a very strange look on her face.



　If you ask me, that was true. Especially those two, I found myself relaxing in the living room of the house.
　When I was almost convinced like that, Chris-san gave me a dumbfounded earful.　

'No, it's not something that would normally happen. I don't mean to say this, but some of His Majesty's thoughts also have political implications. Well, I guess the main reason is that Temma-kun is the son of His Majesty and Maria's best friends.

　It was indeed. It's easy to forget because the kings are so friendly, but in the Japan of the past life, it would be like going to meet the Emperor without permission. Normally, the mere act of approaching them would have you detained or even killed on the spot.

　In retrospect, we are very fortunate to be here. When you think about it, a little political use can't be helped... at best, it's probably just a check on the other factions, like 'Temma is like a royalist faction,' and I've threatened several times that I'll go to another country if I'm going to push too hard. As for that matter, Maria-sama was on my side, so it should be fine.
　By the way, I don't think there's any, but if it's as much as 'I'm being attacked by an enemy country, so help me out,' it's safe, but 'I'm going to start a war, go!' I think I'll be out of the picture if I'm not. At that point, I'll have to go into seclusion somewhere or leave the country.

'Well, if the kings say it's okay with them, why should I particularly care?

Yes,

You come to my house, and you eat and drink your own food.

Yeah, yeah.

Luna had to go through all the snacks I made for her.

'Well ... eh!

　Luna fell for my leading questioning (laughs). She didn't seem to realize that she'd been found out a long time ago. In fact, Luna was the second person to fall for this lead-in questioning (laugh). The first, of course, was Aura. She was also accused of picking and choosing, and had to admit her guilt right in front of Aina. Aina's chastisement at that time was amazing.

'Don't worry, I won't tell Lady Isabella or Maria if Luna is a good girl.

　Luna shakes her head in a country.
　Anyway, I've given my advice, so I'll be quiet for a while (...) now. The sad part is that I can't say that I'm going to (...) from now on.

"So, Luna is going home now?

　Luna shook her head as she visited the girls behind Luna, looking at them.
　Apparently, Luna had to wait for Tida, and she was just here to see her friends' girls off.
　The truth is that Luna was going to see them off a little further, but she was apologizing to the girls as she left here. It seems that she is determined to follow us.

'Bye~ I'll go out with you next time~...............................then let's go.

　Luna waved off the girls and tried to stand at the front of us. Rion looked a little unhappy at that. Perhaps the fact that Luna is here means that Tida will be joining us in a little while, and she's worried that her plans will be exposed and the royal family will have a bad impression of the frontier county family.
　However, the kings would not be that badly impressed. After all, it's in the royalists' best interest for the House of Hoost Frontier Countess to be on good terms with me.
　I was about to tell him that, when Cain suddenly turned around and winked at me with one finger in front of his mouth. Maybe it's a matter of 'it looks interesting, so keep it quiet'. It certainly looks more interesting that way, so I quietly gave him a thumbs up and agreed.　

'Look, look Rion, your walking speed is slowing down. We have to get to the headmaster's office quickly. That's why, Luna-sama, I'm sorry, but before you head to Tida-sama's classroom, please head towards the headmaster's office.

Okay....okay.

　Luna is Luna and she seems to be desperate to wear the cat since she's in front of the three of them. Well, I think the three...well, two of them found out a long time ago, but they didn't point it out.

　The Dean's office was on the fifth floor, the top floor of the central building, and it was hard to get up the stairs. So I used levitation magic to make it easier on myself along the way, but when I finished climbing the stairs, Luna found me and complained about it a lot.
　I've heard that only students are allowed to use the method I used, except in special cases, so even if Luna notices my method in the middle of the stairs, if she takes advantage of my magic, she will be punished by the school. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. But even with a light punishment, if the number of times is too many, it could result in expulsion from the school in the worst case, so be careful.
　It's a good idea to make sure that you have the right kind of information to help you find out what you're looking for.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more than a few of them.
　It seems that the total number of students in the whole school is about a thousand every year, with about forty students per class, with four classes for the elementary and junior high schools, eight for the junior high school and ten for the high school.
　Most of the classes in the elementary and junior high schools are randomly assigned, but from the junior high school onwards, students are placed on a merit system, with the higher grades being assigned as A, B, or C. The grades include practical skills. The grades include practical skills, and the students are selected from the top of each class.

　When we arrived at the headmaster's office, Albert and the others announced their arrival, and then they asked permission for me, Chris-san and Luna to enter the room.
　We sat down on the sofa and met the headmaster.
　The headmaster was a man in his 60s and said he was a graduate of the school. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
　It's a good thing that you're able to find out what's going on in the world. As a result, he had many opportunities to befriend people from commoner backgrounds, and after finding a job, he was popular among students and other teachers as a teacher who understood both nobility and commoners.
　Thanks to this, he steadily rose through the ranks and became the headmaster of the school just before fifty. This was partly due to the fact that he was recommended by his student, the then ministers, the crown prince (the current king), and many other aristocrats, but he was accepted with no problems.

　Since the headmaster had a grim face, the five of us, excluding me, were quite nervous. However, as soon as the headmaster opened his mouth, two of them began to relax their shoulders, since it was something that had nothing to do with them, and they began to relax. The content of the conversation was........about the 'rotten girl coma incident' that happened at the party hosted by the royal family.
　There were several inquiries about the dismissed daughters because of the similarity in age, being from the school, and staring at Albert and the others, which may have had something to do with the three of them.
　In the beginning, the headmaster blurted out the information, but in the end, he had to tell the parents who didn't agree with him about the vices of the girls.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the marketplace. He convinced them by half threatening them by saying that they would not be able to become a part of it. It is said that he called the three of them to the school to warn them to be careful.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're talking about, but it's also a good idea to have a good idea of what you're talking about.

　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends and family.
　I've been told that there are many aristocrats in this school, and that there are aristocrats who behave arrogantly and condescendingly towards the common man. It seems that, from their point of view, they are the chosen ones who are born into the aristocracy, and the lowly ones have to serve them.
　It is said that there are quite a few students of the nobility who think like that to varying degrees.
　They want to encourage the commoner students by showing them my precedent, and they want to teach the aristocrat students that a person's talent doesn't depend on their birth. It's a good thing that you're able to do that, because you can't do it by yourself, and you can't interfere with the power as well, because the royal family is behind you.
　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good deal more than you think.
　The headmaster looked very disappointed, but it seemed to be a no-go solicitation, so he withdrew quietly.

　After the conversation was over, we left the headmaster's office to go pick up Tida, and with Luna leading the way, we rushed to the meeting place.
　The meeting place was Tida's classroom on the third floor of the primary school building, which is located a short distance away from the central building.
　The elementary school building is right next to the elementary school building, and when you put the two together, it looks like it has an area of land about the size of a small high school, but even this is less than half the size of the middle and high school.

　We walked through the elementary school building with such explanations. The teachers we pass occasionally are smiling at us, so it seems that the conversation is already going on.
　However, the students don't seem to be informed, and they stop and look at us, as if the presence of an outsider is unusual. As expected, they didn't talk to us unnecessarily, but a few kids who seemed to be acquaintances of Luna came up to us and their eyes were shining when they heard about us.
　The conversation seemed to spread from there, and we were almost surrounded just before we reached Tida's class, but the teachers who heard the commotion managed to contain it.

'Brother, here you are,'

You're late, aren't you, Temma?

　Tida, who was talking to a few classmates, had just turned her head in response to Luna's voice when she noticed me behind her.
　Later, I noticed Chris-san and Albert and the others, and after exchanging light greetings, I explained the situation, and when Luna asked to follow me around, it was decided that Tida would join us.
　Tida told Chris to wait for me in the carriage to pick her up.


Let's get going then. I don't think it would be interesting to visit the elementary and middle schools, so let's go around the high school and the school facilities.

　What would Tida say to you at first? Rion, who had been freaked out, began to tautly lead the way. Apparently, from the attitude of Tida and Luna, I didn't feel like I had made a bad impression, so I seemed to realize that there was no problem. Tida seems to think that I came to the academy as Albert and his friends' companion, and she doesn't seem to be dissatisfied with the fact that Leon is leading the way. However, Luna seems to be a little dissatisfied when she hears that Leon doesn't show her where she is studying.　
　However, there is no way that Rion would notice such an attitude of Luna, and she quickly left the elementary school building.

''Let's start with the school cafeteria down the street. I'd really like to show you the student dormitory over there as well, but the inside is basically off-limits to anyone not involved. The cafeteria is behind the central building where the headmaster's office was located.

　The cafeteria, Leon says, is located on the second floor of a two-story building behind the central building. And it seems that the ground floor underneath is used as a shop and rest area.
　The dormitory, which is off-limits to the public, is shaped like a long convex shape when seen from above, and the lower part of the convex shape is the entrance and waiting room.
　In the middle of that explanation, Chris-san was grinning and looking at Rion in the bathroom section, so I thought there was something going on, but then Rion blatantly started to go off on a tangent. Well, let's save the fun for later. Even if I don't ask, Chris-san would be happy to talk about it.

　The school cafeteria is quite large, and apparently there's plenty of room for six hundred people at a time. However, it seems that the cafeteria has fixed priority seating, with one hundred seats for the elementary and junior high schools and two hundred for the high school and middle school, and even if there are no seats available in other departments, people are accused of violating manners if they sit without permission.

The taste is reasonably good, and the prices are quite cheap. The food is reasonably good, the prices are cheap, and as a school facility, it's available until late, so it's often used by non-dormitory students and teachers for dinner. But the menu isn't much, and it changes from day to day.

　I heard that the most common pattern is bread (two pieces), soup, and one dish, and sometimes a salad is added. It's only 50g, which seems to be popular not only among students but also among teachers.

You can buy bread at the downstairs shop, prepare it yourself, or bring it in from outside. The only way to get bread from outside is to go downstairs and buy it early in the morning. Most of them are commoner students who commute from home.

　Cain says it's early in the morning because students are not allowed to come in and out of the school except during school hours and when they go home, and if you live in a dormitory, the only way to get out of the gate is to slip out and buy something while it's still open, or ask a commuter friend to get it for you.

　The cafeteria wasn't open today because I was on vacation, but I bought some food from the store instead.
　They were selling hard black bread, unsweetened jam, dried meat, and chicken or fish in oil. Since this is also on vacation, they are only selling things that can be preserved.
　We ordered jam and chicken and fish in oil from among them, and it was surprisingly good.

　There were two kinds of jams, apple and citrus, and although there was almost no sugar used, they had the natural sweetness and sourness of fruits. The so-called ajillo, a dish of chopped chicken with the aroma of garlic and spices, was very appetizing. The fish was not as salty as the chicken, but it had a nice taste to it. The fish seems to be a member of the sardine family, and is said to have been brought to the restaurant after being marinated in salt.
　However, that wasn't enough for me, so I took out the fish I had stored in my bag and we all ate it.

　With our bellies full, we headed for the high school, and on the way, Cain was in a sickeningly good mood. He was humming and even seemed to be skipping.
　I looked at Albert to see if he knew anything about it, but he didn't seem to know either.

'Hey, Cain. Why are you in such a good mood?

　The man (Leon), who doesn't read the air, asked Cain directly, but Cain just laughed and didn't answer, saying "ehehehe~".
　While I was wondering about such a Cain, I heard footsteps from somewhere. It was a sound that was barely audible to my ears, but it sounded as if it was running towards us.
　When I turned around in the direction of the sound, I saw a familiar girl approaching, only five meters away. The distance between them was only five meters.

"Sha~~~

　I stepped in as hard as I could and jumped at the girl, and when I threw her away so as not to kill her momentum, the girl spun several times in the air and landed on her feet.

'Temma, look!'

　It's Amur. The sudden appearance of Amur caused everyone to freeze in surprise. Except for me, Chris was the only one who was able to move, standing in front of Tida and Luna and drawing his sword as if to protect them. Then, after confirming their identities, he quietly put his sword away.

'What's Amur doing here?'

I'm here with everyone. I'll be here soon.

　We tilted our heads at the word "everyone" and we all turned in the direction of Amour's pointing.
　Then, from that direction, I heard a voice calling Amur's name. They were all very familiar voices.

''There he is~!
Primera, there's Amur!
There it is! There it is! ........and Temma was there too~!

'Huh? And Mr. Temma?

　The three sisters, Lily, Millie and Nellie, appeared out of the corner, looking a little tired, as usual, with the three sisters, Lily, Millie and Nellie.

'It's odd. It's so nice to see you here.

　I called out to the four people who ran up to me while holding Amur's head as he tried to stick with me.

Then I'll see you!

Stop! If all three of you speak at once, I don't know what you're talking about!

　In truth, all three of them were breathing perfectly together, so I was able to hear most of it, but since they were all three coming gingerly forward, I stopped talking to calm them down a bit.

'So, why are the Primera's here?'

'Oh, yes my brother? You were all together, right? Eh! Lady Tida, Lady Luna!

　Primera, who had been so distracted by the three of us, didn't seem to notice that it was Albert at my side, and was surprised to be approached. Then she looked around and noticed Tida and Luna, and hurriedly poked her knee and tried to take the retainer's thanks.

''Oh, it's not supposed to be like that in the school, so please stand up.
''That's right. This is the academy, and Primera-sama is our senior.

　As usual, Tida urges the Primera to stand with a gentle voice, and Luna speaks to her with a voice that even has a different grace to it than usual. Little by little, Luna's level of catnip seems to be increasing. For some reason, seeing Luna now reminds me of the first time I met Aura. His catnip was also amazing........

　While I was lost in such thoughts, I seemed to be able to convince Primera and explained the situation to Albert and the others.
　At any rate, Primera has to return to Gunjo City in a little while, and the three sisters must return with her because they were allowed to accompany the knights on their way to and from the city on the condition that they were allowed to help out with miscellaneous duties and so on.
　So I invited them to visit the school on their last day off, and the three of them said they would invite me as well, so I went to the mansion, but I wasn't there.
　So I invited Amur, who also came to the mansion and swung a blank, to come to the academy, but as soon as he passed through the gate, Amur ran out and here we are.

　While listening to Primera's story, I was very busy dealing with the four of them. And while looking at me, for some reason, Rion has a regretful look on his face. Furthermore, Cain is making fun of Rion.

The first thing to do is to be quiet. There are other students in the room too, you'll get in trouble.

　When things got too noisy for good, Chris-san began to clap his hands and warn me.

''Yes, Chris-senpai is right. So, let's go back to the visit. Let's go to the high school quickly.''

　For some reason, Cain, who is in a good mood, began to partition the situation and quickly walked out to the high school. Everyone followed Cain's sudden start and followed him.

Hey, hey, Albert. Why is Cain's guy so hyped up?
I'm the wrong person to ask, I don't know.

　Albert answers Rion's question curtly. If the two of them can't figure it out, everyone else won't be able to come up with a reason at all..........

'As I recall, isn't Brother Cain's brother a student at the school? Maybe he's looking forward to seeing you...

　And the Primera joined in the conversation with reservations. I thought that might be it, but Albert and Leon immediately denied it.

'I don't think so,'
''Well the brothers aren't that bad over there, but that doesn't mean they're good, and Cain was angry at what his brother did...''

　Rion looks at me while calling it something he's done.

''Oh, that one....not that I care about it anymore, but.......it's all over.

　I think Leon is referring to the dispute with Gary at Seigen.

'No, wait. Could it be that Cain is trying to tease Gary about Tenma?

　When we heard what Albert had said, we couldn't help but think....

""Could be!"

　I agreed under my breath. Luna didn't seem to understand, but Tida didn't say anything beyond that, saying, "That can't be....... Little by little, she must have begun to understand Cain's true nature.
　Does the Marquis of Samoens know Cain's true nature? Or do they think it's okay to know?
　Well, it is said that there are some noblemen who have various s*xual proclivities that they can't tell others about, yet they still manage to govern their domains, so maybe that's acceptable, but.......
　I watched Cain start to move like a musical character and gently tucked the questions that came into my head to the back of my mind.
