Bikini Cleo.

Completely sold.

I muttered while looking at the mountain of purchase application documents.

“… hey. This is selling.”

“Mr. Coleman… ”

“No, but it’s not sexy at all-”

“Refreshing feeling! Even though there is no volume, there is a refreshing feeling!”

“Ho… ”

“What is Hoo?”

Cleo tries to grab me by the collar.

This and this, in case anyone says it’s not a blue dragon, look at it, it’s starting to resemble Tangaroa.

“Ma… Shouldn’t you stop it?”

“Haha. I guess this is Angela’s first time in this kind of atmosphere.”

Rong comforts Angela, who is cowering a lot.

“Things like this are common at Funforge!”

“Hey, by the way, shouldn’t Marquis Rong be as embarrassed as Angela?

How long have you been working with us? ”

Immediately Hwayoung tried to argue, but Rong just chuckled.

She sighed and started feeding the Scyllade squirrel.

This is the student council room as always.

And as always –

“Why didn’t my model sell?”

It means Tangaroa’s grumbling is with you.

“Vice President. Why are you blaming me for that?”

“Then who should I blame?”

“Well. Isn’t the lack of popularity not my fault but the Vice President’s fault?”

“Why?”

“Hmm… ”

I trailed off.

“Hmm… ?”

“Hmm… ”

“If you have something to say, just say it.”

“Good. I’ll be honest.

The average person doesn’t want to see a naked platypus.”

silence.

And rage.

“What are you saying now that you suggested making it!”

“No, I made it to encourage the Vice President because he had worked hard. Of course, I did not expect it to sell a lot. We didn’t even place many orders with Priestley.”

“This crazy laceist gum-”

Just before Tangaroa, who had taken over Cleo’s baton, strangled me, the door to the student council room burst open.

“Okay, okay, there you go.”

The chairman who neatly organizes our commotion.

Lilac dropped the papers and announced the results of the meeting with the faculty.

“First of all, the professors decided not to review the separate models.

The concept, abilities, and application criteria are all up to Funforge.

However, you only ask that students who have completed basic modeling be separated.”

“That’s right.”

“Oh, and… ”

The chairman handed me a document.

“What is it?”

“It was sent by the village head of Romelo.”

Hmm. What does that have to do with us?

no way…

It was as expected.

Although it uses a fairly polite tone and indirect words, the gist of it is this.

‘I am worried that if the Romelo militia comes out as a new camp, the image of the village will be damaged.

I hope we can have an opportunity to meet and exchange opinions as soon as possible.’

“Wasn’t this legally problematic?”

“Yes. In fact, if you ignore this letter and release it, that doesn’t mean they can sue you.”

“But it won’t look good to others.

Moreover, the main consumer group is academy students anyway, so it is not wise to keep an eye on Romelo Village.”

The Chairman nods to Marquis Rong’s point.

“I think you should first listen to what they are talking about.”

“I guess I have to cross the Great Lake again.”

“Ah, I’ll go with you this time.”

Well, it would be convenient for negotiations to have Chairman Lilac on the side.

However, even though he had said he would go, the chairman suddenly became restless and started making various excuses.

“Uh, I’m not really going there to have fun.

If I just go to Coleman, I might be swayed by the village chief, and I might not be able to give a definite answer because it’s difficult to make important decisions on my own, so-”

“Who says what?”

Tangaroa snorts as if he is dumbfounded.

Cleo and Hwayoung also look like they don’t know why they’re like this.

aha.

So, you want to go to Romelo Village with me, just the two of us.

I’m doing that because I’m scared that my feelings will be discovered…

“Good. Let’s go with the chairman.

So far, I’ve only been to Romelo with Cleo and Hwayoung, but going with the president together would be a unique experience.”

“That… Yes.”

————————————————– ————————-

just as expected.

As soon as we landed in Romelo Village two days later, the chairman came to greet us as if he had been waiting for us.

“Really… Did you really want to be alone together?”

“Hehe.”

The princess caresses my hand, rubs my cheek, and hugs my waist.

Well, it’s not that I don’t like this kind of skinship, but…

“They said we would have a secret relationship.

There are a lot of academy students in Romelo Village too, right?”

“It’s a weekday. Someone said there was one.”

“What about the residents who recognize the president’s face?”

“I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry.”

Normally, it would take less than 10 minutes to get to the village head’s house.

however…

“Coleman, Coleman! There is a cat in the alley here!”

“… no. There are a lot of stray cats in the academy too.”

“Oh my. This fur color is really pretty… ”

Watching cats in the alley.

“Colman, eat a pie. Now, ah~”

“I did it with my own hands, eup-eup-”

“Right, right.”

“… Aren’t you treating me like a child too much? ”

Feed them street food.

“You’ve been waiting a long time, right?”

“… What are you doing here now… What, did you buy a ring?”

“It’s a gift.”

“This is expensive. Why suddenly… ”

“Can I just wear the ring? The Chairman also wears one.”

Souvenir gift.

And above all…

“Uh, someone is coming.”

“Solve it quickly!”

Even the game of ‘holding hands and letting go when you feel like you’re popular’.

It was a really fun date, but thankfully I wasn’t able to meet the village head until an hour later.

“Nice to meet you. This is Rayleigh Nottingham.”

“This is Cantor Coleman. I don’t know if it’s too late.”

“No. I didn’t set an appointment time anyway.”

The head of Nottingham chuckles and serves drinks.

He is a small, middle-aged man with severely balding hair.

The princess and the princess briefly asked each other how they were doing.

“Okay, so… ”

The village head hesitates as if he doesn’t know how to bring up the story.

Lilac casually got to the point.

“You want to talk about the emergence of Romelo Village during the romantic era.”

“Ah. That’s right. First of all, don’t misunderstand, I didn’t come here to ask Romelo Village not to appear, to ask for money in exchange for using its name, or to talk about things like this.”

Nottingham emphasized that fact again and again.

“We just want to prevent things that damage the reputation of Romelo Village or infringe on the rights of residents.”

“Of course.”

There was no reason not to cooperate in a matter like this, so I nodded.

“We will not include any content that appears to disparage the village.

We will not use real names or include characters based on motifs without residents’ consent.”

“Thank you for that, but… ”

It looks like there’s something more you want to say.

When the chairman gestured for him to speak, he spoke carefully.

“I know that each faction in the Romantic Age has its own unique personality.

That means there are strengths and weaknesses as well.”

“We try to maintain a balance between each faction.”

Nottingham scratched his head at my protest.

“Director. I know this from the reactions of my students.

Isn’t there a saying going around that some dorms are strong and some are weak?

If Romello Village turns out to be too weak, Romello is trash… If a story like this were to spread throughout the academy, or even the entire empire… ”

With a thud, Lilac put down the teacup.

The head of Nottingham keeps quiet about that momentum.

“That could happen.

But on the other hand, wouldn’t it be possible for Romelo Village to become popular and stories to spread that Romelo is cool and strong?”

“That could be true… ”

“Do you want to avoid risks and enjoy only benefits?”

The head of the village sweatdropped at the princess’s gentle but firm point.

“Yes. I also know that I cannot protest if I refuse this request. but… ”

“But?”

“From the village head’s perspective, it’s impossible not to pay attention…

So, I would like to make a suggestion.”

He cleared his throat and said:

“Please pay attention to the reputation of the Romelo Village camp for at least a year after release…

The village will also actively cooperate with the sale of Romantic Era.”

“Cooperation is-”

“When an official gaming center opens, we charge low rent, hold our own competition, or collaborate with Funforge for village festivals… ”

The chairman looked at me.

It’s not a bad suggestion.

Romelo Village is, after all, a passage connecting the Academy to the outside world.

The installation of romantic era infrastructure here will further increase accessibility to outsiders.

Moreover, the game room inside the academy is quite cramped, so it would be convenient if there were another game room nearby…

But anyway, external factors intervene in the game’s balance.

This means giving up a bit of the sovereignty over game management that was preserved while fighting against Blue Dragon.

Of course, it would be a lie to say that we did not look at external opinions at all when designing the model, but… Still, making an outright request is a different story.

“Let me think about it first.”

“Yes, yes. Please contact me again when it is convenient for you.”

When I left the village chief’s house, I asked the chairman a question.

“What do you think?”

“Well. Do we really need to receive this?

Partnering with Romelo Village would boost sales, but it’s growing in popularity even without that… ”

“Well, let’s talk to other people first.”

Even though I said that, I was already thinking about rejecting the offer.

Lilac suddenly grabs my hand.

“Why?”

“Coleman. Look over there.”

The place she pointed to was a shabby inn.

“… Is it an inn? So?”

“Didn’t you hear what your seniors told you?”

The chairman chuckled and whispered in my ear.

“The owner over there is very loud-mouthed.

The facilities are well soundproofed.”

“So… ”

It’s a well-known love hotel…

Lilac whistles and looks at me.

“So?”

“So?”

“Tell me what you want to do.”

“Knowing~”

“Hey.”

It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.

“Who took off her bra and wet her breasts in the sea?

Who was the one who broke the contraceptives when you came to my house and begged me to get you pregnant?

Stop being pretentious, sister.”

Her face turned slightly red.

okay. Let’s lead like a man here.

I held Lilac’s hand and entered the inn.

“Today isn’t a dangerous day, right?”

“Well, guess what… ”

“Sister, please… ”

“Ah, okay. I’m going to buy birth control pills.”

While Lilac went to the counter and ordered her room, I looked around.

It doesn’t look as cheap as I thought.

It might not be a bad place for a first experience…

My body stiffened while I was admiring the picture of the stairs to the second floor.

because-

“Aha.”

“Sister.”

“Huh?”

Lilac turned, but my words were not directed at her.

Hayley Cantor looked between us for a moment, then shrugged.

“Oh my, were you two already in a relationship like that?”
