The last day of midterm week.

    The cadets climbed onto the teleportation magic circle.

    To take the climax of the midterm exam, the ‘survival test’.

    The sound of people swallowing dry saliva could be heard here and there.

    -Growling.

    -Where is the test this time…?

    -Senior, you said that it was held on a mountain last year. It can’t be two mountains in a row, right?

    -I’m a specialist in flower magic, so the forest is rat poison… I wish there was a street fight in an abandoned village like the year before last. Ha.

    Cadets who can’t hide their anxiety until the very end.

    It was a natural reaction.

    Where the test will be taken will be kept secret until the very end.

    Because each cadet’s performance will vary greatly depending on the test location.

    On the other hand, our expressions were relaxed.

    “If possible, a village would be better. There are a lot of flies in the mountains and fields, so it would be hard for the ladies.”

    “Don’t worry! I’ve prepared everything for you, Shepor and Estee!”

    “Please leave the cooking to me, a commoner. Hehe.”

    ‘No one seems nervous at all. Well, that’s to be expected.’

    For us, this survival test is just a one-night, two-day camping trip.

    Even the president was considerate here and there, and only items that were not related to combat were allowed to be brought in.

    It was natural to be excited about going out and having fun and eating without any tension.

    We’re all nobles except Irene.

    For us, this experience was quite special.

    but…

    Of these, there was only one person who didn’t look too happy.

    It was Louis.

    “By the way, Prince Louis, are you okay? Your complexion has been pale since this morning.”

    “Put on your clothes. If you’re not feeling well, rest now, Louis. I will protect the princess. ”

    “… It’s nothing, so don’t worry about it.”

    Louis receives the worried gaze of Shepor and Ferrado.

    Unlike usual, he was wearing a robe wrapped around his clothes, so much so that anyone who saw him would have thought he had a cold.

    Compassion came into my eyes.

    ‘How did it explode in just one day? Did you sell your country in your past life?’

    Yesterday, when I was showering, I complained that my chest hurt, and then my period came the next day.

    I still can’t forget the look of despair on Louis’ face that morning.

    It’s only been three weeks since it ended, and I’m screaming why are you here again already?

    There really is no such thing as a tragic heroine. Really.

    “Sigh… .”

    ‘I told you to just rest, so why did you come with me?’

    I told him to rest, but Louis wouldn’t listen.

    Do you know what will happen and send you away alone? I have to protect you. He kept crying.

    There’s a limit to being a siscon, really.

    So this morning was quite hectic.

    There was a lot to do to send Louis, who had just started her period, to the survival test.

    I used the leftover linen from last time and added it to the lace panties.

    They even bandaged my chest to keep it from hurting while I was working.

    I decided to hide my unnaturally bulging thighs by wrapping a robe around them.

    I could cast a perception-impairing spell, but I’ll have to change the cloth several times today anyway.

    I chose a robe that I could hide my body in.

    The result was the Louis we know today.

    Her complexion was pale from menstrual pain, and her body was wrapped tightly in a robe.

    ‘… I was so happy that I could wash by myself just yesterday. And now I have my period the very next day. What should I do? I’m so annoyed.’

    I wonder what our Louis did wrong to be like this.

    There’s nothing I can do about it. It’s a little different from the original plan, but…

    As soon as you arrive, you have no choice but to go straight to the place you prepared.

    * * *

    -Pfft!!

    A bright halo of light in the magic circle.

    The new models of the cadets above began to disappear one by one.

    The location of the ‘survival test’ has been moved to Mont Blanc.

    “… … Phew.”

    ‘It’s finally starting.’

    The Academy President, Ker-Rogg, who had been smiling kindly, only then hardened his expression.

    His shaggy hair was soaked with sweat.

    ‘…Your Highness the Third Princess probably doesn’t know how much I’ve suffered behind the scenes.’

    The president’s thoughts flashed through his mind as he recalled the hardships he had endured.

    Esti, who had no doubts that she would not participate in such a barbaric test, calmly declared that she would ‘of course’ participate in the test.

    She said, ‘Are you worried that we’ll bully other students? Don’t worry! We won’t worry about grades, we’ll just have fun!’ but…

    The problem wasn’t the fairness of the test.

    -President. That kid named Ferrador is spending the night out with Esti?

    -Yes, yes. Your Majesty. The Third Princess and her friends… .

    -Louis, that bastard too? Cancel it. Now!!

    The third princess of high status was camping in the mountains, with two men at that.

    Naturally, the Emperor was on a rampage, and the Chancellor had been forced to walk a tightrope between the Emperor and Esti for the past few weeks.

    The emperor, who could have simply told Esti directly, “Don’t do that,” but was afraid that his own daughter might hate him, so he couldn’t say anything and only harassed the poor principal.

    Esty was so excited about going camping that she didn’t understand the signal the principal gave her saying, “Please save me.”

    Every single day, even when I think back on it, my stomach hurts.

    But who is he? Isn’t he a talented person among the talented who rose to the position of Academy President in the body of a few people?

    The president eventually found a single optimal solution that satisfied both.

    “… Are you finished manipulating the teleportation magic circle?”

    “Yes. The princess and her party will be transferred to the cave, which has a suspiciously good environment.”

    “This is truly a cultured way of doing things.”

    The Academy’s only salvation: test rigging.

    The chancellor convinced the emperor in this way.

    We will do our best to create an environment where the princess can enjoy playing comfortably.

    To prevent any unpleasant incidents, I will assign professors with strong military powers to secretly escort you.

    I will control them so that they do not get involved in other cadets’ fights, etc.

    … these were words that should not have come out of the mouth of the president who was supposed to be fair, but no one blamed him.

    No, rather, the faculty and staff helped him rig the test.

    Even the emperor, who was not a good man, was satisfied with his dedicated efforts.

    -… If Estee wants to do that, then yes. Instead, if anything happens, I will hold her strictly accountable.

    -Of course, Your Majesty!

    ‘Sigh. I want to throw it all away.’

    Although, in the meantime, an unfortunate incident occurred that dampened his ambition for success, anyway.

    The president’s eyes turned back to the magic circle.

    The magic circle leading to a paradise just for the princess, which he had been desperately preparing for the past few weeks.

    Soon, he was praying with the meat ball in his hand.

    -Molkang.

    “Please let it end without any problems and with manners!!!!”

    He looked so desperate that you wouldn’t expect him to be a high-ranking official of the empire.

    * * *

    Meanwhile, at the time the teleportation magic circle was activated.

    Ferrado and Irene immediately noticed something strange.

    ‘…Why are magic signals so unnecessarily complicated?’

    ‘Huh. Are we the only ones being transferred to a different place?’

    Ferrado, who is far beyond the level of a cadet, and Irene, who has mastered the field of magic.

    It wasn’t difficult for the two of them to notice the manipulation the president had done to the magic circle.

    Irene was the first to take action.

    ‘I guess I should stick to the princess.’

    -Answer.

    “… Huh?”

    Amidst the bright light, Irene quickly hugged Estee.

    It was because of the calculation that he would be safe by the princess’ side no matter what happened, and because of a protective instinct that she was not even aware of.

    Ferrado followed suit and took action.

    ‘… Since Lady Irene took care of the princess, I should take care of the other ladies.’

    -Hug.

    “Oh my?”

    “… … Hehe♡”

    Ferrado’s thick arms wrapped around Shepor and Louis’ waists.

    Shepor is slightly surprised by the sudden escort.

    That day, Louis let out a cute moan as a sturdy arm touched his sensitive body.

    His eyes turned upwards, asking, “What are you doing?”

    -Crunch.

    ‘My lower abdomen is already in terrible pain, what are you doing all of a sudden…?’

    “… … .”

    But instead of giving an explanation, Ferrado and Irene looked ahead carefully.

    In case something happens, to protect the delicate women in my arms.

    … However, immediately after the teleportation was completed.

    They both realized immediately.

    That their actions were presumptuous.

    -Whaaah… Paat!

    “… … Hmm?”

    Five moved in an instant.

    An exceptionally beautiful sight greeted the five.

    Blue sky. A babbling brook. A tree laden with purple grapes. A rose bush.

    … a pile of firewood on one side, and a campfire ready to light.

    Even the cave at the back was filled with all kinds of furniture and beds.

    No matter where you looked, it was an unnatural environment.

    Irene and Ferrado realized the truth.

    ‘… Special treatment? Hmm. Not bad.’

    ‘You worked hard at the Academy for the princess. You’re quite perceptive.’

    The two of them let their guard down at the sight of the president’s hard work clearly visible.

    The two of them released their arms at the same time as if they had made a promise.

    -Slurp.

    ‘…What is this place?’

    ‘Did the academy provide accommodations?’

    Louis and Shepor, who looked around, also realized the general situation.

    No matter how you look at it, it was the Academy’s convenience.

    … but there were some people who didn’t think so.

    -Squeaky.

    ‘Crow… Who prepared something so obvious!!’

    A terrified Esti blamed the poor Crow.

    No, I did ask them to fix up the cave a bit so that it would be more comfortable to live in. But I thought that was going too far.

    It would have been a very unfair accusation if Crow had heard it.

    She only did as my saint commanded, and it was the principal who brought the furniture and everything there.

    But I never dreamed of these circumstances.

    Esti was anxious for no reason.

    “Wow, wow… .”

    ‘What if they find out I’m a Stienne? That won’t do. This time I’m going to spank Crow’s butt for real!!’

    From Crow’s perspective, with a grateful pledge.

    * * *

    That night.

    “Ferrado. You are such a manly and good guy.”

    “Louis? What the… all of a sudden… .”

    “So… I have a confession to make. Will you listen?”

    Louis, with a blush on his face, confessed in front of Ferrado.
