“Let’s delete the Prisoners’ Rights Federation. It seems too politically sensitive.”

When Tangaroa said that, everyone in the student council room looked at him with wide eyes.

“No, why?”

“Hey, you are the vice president, right? It’s not like there’s some kind of ghost or something?”

“No, please! I’m not that great of a human rights activist!

I was just pointing out that Coleman was spouting verbal hate speech as if he were breathing!”

“Please be honest. Aren’t you just having fun making fun of Mr. Coleman?”

“Can’t it be fun? You can feel pleasure from doing the right thing!”

The student council room on the weekend was noisy as always.

Lilac sighed happily and then instructed Cleo.

“Beast Human Rights Federation erased. If you try to make that, you’ll fight with Coleman and Tangaroa all day long.”

“Okay.”

Cleo drew lines on the blackboard with chalk and erased the letters.

Of the nine ideas Coleman initially proposed, only five remained.

Desire to destroy the academy

“Hmm. I don’t think the Academy Destruction Association is very good from a formative perspective.

I can’t picture anything other than sneaking around wearing a hood.”

The others also nodded at Hwayoung’s point.

“No. Still, Mr. Coleman might have had a plan.”

“Speaking of which, why hasn’t Coleman come yet?”

“You will come when the time comes.”

“Tangaroa, are you bored because there is no one to make fun of?”

“Chairman. Chairman, does this mean you too?”

Tangaroa grumbled, but the others paid no attention and continued the discussion.

But Coleman didn’t come until the sunset began to set.

Lilac’s expression, which had been relaxed at first, also darkened.

“… Let’s leave it here for today.

Let’s ask Coleman when we come tomorrow.”

“Yes. See you tomorrow… Huh?”

As Hwayoung opened the exit door, she found a piece of paper that had fallen in front of the student council room door and picked it up.

“This seems like a small number of people in the Coleman group.”

“What? Give it to me.”

Lilac almost snatched the paper from Hwayoung.

“Sorry. Due to personal circumstances, I will be taking a short break… ”

“Yes? The social festival is right around the corner?”

“Tangaroa!!!”

“Why?”

Lilac glares at the platypus with burning eyes.

“How much did you roast Coleman!”

“No! What on earth does Coleman’s break have to do with me-”

But the other two people were also looking at Tangaroa with suspicion.

Tangaroa also took a step back, perhaps pricked by his conscience.

“Good. I made fun of Coleman a bit. I’ll admit that.

But this is really unfair. It’s really unfair!”

“Colman, now that I think about it, you seem to have been a bit restless ever since the new housemaster came.”

“New housemaster?”

“Yes. This is instructor Petra Lin.”

“Petra Lin… ”

Lilac and Tangaroa quickly exchanged looks.

The Crown Princess thought for a moment and then answered.

“Well, everyone was busy starting with mini cups…

Originally, I was going to take a break after the social event, but now that things have come to an end, I think it would be okay to take some time to rest.”

“Me. President. The schedule is tight. Mr. Coleman and we don’t really have time to relax… ”

“Who says they can relax? I need to rest hard.”

————————————————– ————————

In the end, I stayed up all night.

My stomach, having skipped breakfast and lunch, was sending out emergency signals, but my brain wasn’t paying any attention.

I was lying on the bed in a half-asleep state and just staring at the ceiling.

Haley’s older sister left her husband and child and was specially recruited to the Intelligence Bureau.

The Intelligence Bureau is the Chairman’s enemy.

Then my sister is my enemy.

no. There is a logical leap.

That’s assuming the chairman and I are on the same side.

is it?

What I want is for the entire continent to enjoy the era of romance.

My dream is for miniature games to become popular.

What the president wants is for the academy’s dueling culture to fade away.

A dream for the younger generation to overcome the wounds of the civil war.

The two were going together until now.

But in the future…

I let out a heavy breath. The moisture contained in your breath falls back onto your face.

I was prepared that there might be interference.

Not everyone will welcome the era of romance.

But the worst thing I could think of was that the game would be banned from the Academy, but I never expected that the Crown Princess herself would be attacked.

I pictured the worst-case scenario in my head.

The president is attacked, the princess loses her position, is purged, and is executed…

Maybe my sister is right.

Let’s not instigate the Crown Princess further and end it here…

“Coleman County.”

Hwayoung’s voice.

I had the urge to just lie down, but I forced myself to get up.

“Uh, Hwayoung.”

“Colman County… Have you just been lying down today?”

When I turned my head and looked in the mirror, wondering what I was like, it was a sight.

His hair was all over his head, and his sunken eyes and chapped skin did not resemble a person’s appearance.

“No. You left a note in front of the student council door.”

“I saw it. What on earth happened?”

“I don’t know anything.”

I realized that even as I spoke, there were thorns in my words.

“Colman County. The Chairman said that since we had worked so hard, we should all have a dinner together.”

“… I’m done.”

“Colman County. Why are you acting so irresponsibly all of a sudden?

There are only fifteen days left until the social festival, but if they suddenly decide to take a break and don’t even tell us why, what are we going to do?”

“Wouldn’t it be more irresponsible to continue?”

“What? why? Please explain.”

Do you want me to tell you everything?

Actually, the new housemaster is my older sister who was struggling with her life.

But voila, it turns out that my sister is also an intelligence agent.

My sister said that if we continue to run the game, the chairman will be in danger.

I closed my mouth and lay down again.

An annoyed sigh.

“You don’t want to talk to me, is this it? okay.

But Mr. Coleman. The Chairman is waiting on the first floor of the dormitory.”

“Tell him to go back.”

“Do you think the Chairman will pass away after hearing those words?”

Feeling a bug crawling on my stomach, I sat up.

“If I don’t come out until the end, you will die.”

“Colman County. Do you really think so?”

“… ”

“It can be that it is irresponsible to us.

But isn’t it okay to be irresponsible to the chairman?”

I have a feeling that if I don’t go out, the chairman will wait down here all night.

That intuition moved my body.

“Wait. I’ll comb my hair, get dressed, and go out.”

“Right, right, good job, Mr. Coleman.”

“Stop it. Who do you think is a dog?”

When I came down to the first floor, the chairman was waiting in front of the entrance.

I crossed my arms, bit my lip, and tapped my feet on the floor.

As soon as she saw me, her face brightened up.

“Coleman!”

“Chairman.”

“Are you okay? Doesn’t it hurt somewhere?”

“No. I was just a little tired.”

I was just trying to figure out how to express my gratitude to the chairman.

“Then let’s go!”

Without giving me time to explain, she pushed me on my back and headed toward her destination.

After walking silently along the eastern forest path for about 10 minutes, you will reach an open lakeside.

I could smell the sizzling smell of cooking meat, so I looked around and saw the vice president cooking a barbecue on the grill.

“Here it is.”

“character.”

As Cleo served the meat on a plate, the chairman dipped the sausage with a fork and presented it to me.

“Ah, ah.”

“It’s okay. I will eat… ”

“Coleman, my arm hurts. Ah.”

phew. I had no choice but to take a bite of the sausage.

The chairman chuckles.

We sat side by side, leaning against the trunk of a large willow tree.

“Coleman.”

“Yes?”

“… no. Good atmosphere. Right?”

It felt like something was being glossed over, but I nodded.

The lakeside where the sun has completely set.

The moon seen through the leaves, the moon reflected in the lake.

The sound of wind, insects, and water.

The light, sound, and smell created by the barbecue grill…

“It’s sweet, it’s bright, it’s bright~”

When I turned my head, I saw Hwayoung, excited, dancing her shoulders and singing a song.

My disturbed mind calmed down a little when I saw that.

okay. Let’s enjoy it for now. Because the story is over, you can do it.

When Hwayoung’s song ended, everyone clapped.

“Okay, next is Cleo!”

“Yes? I don’t know any songs.”

“There must be one, there is one!”

“Uh, um… ”

Cleo cleared her throat and began to sing.

“Academy’s best blue dragon, we are the blue dragon

Who can stop the passion that boils young blood?

Lai Lai Lai Cha Cha Cha Lai Lai Lai Lai Cha Cha Cha… ”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense in the Blue Dragon dormitory.

Cleo quickly finished the song and gave me the credit.

“That’s it for me! Now it’s Mr. Coleman’s turn!”

after. There’s a song I sing every time I’m in a situation like this.

“The sound of dawn coming, I rub my eyes and wake up

Looking at your sleeping face next to me

You have to be strong so you can never fall… ”

After seeing the audience’s reaction, I lowered my voice.

Cleo is shocked. Hwayoung covered her ears. Tangaroa is holding his stomach and smiling.

Even the chairman had a complicated expression on his face.

“Mr. Coleman… You are truly tone deaf.”

“… Is it that bad?”

“Yes… ”

“Oh my gosh, it’s a pear. Coleman, you never sing.”

“Then, let’s call the vice president too!”

Tangaroa lightly shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth.

“Academy’s best blue dragon, we are the blue dragon~”

“Ah, invalid invalid! Where can I find something like this?”

“Who can stop the passion that boils young blood~”

The vice president ignored my excuses and sang the Blue Dragon Dormitory Song up to the second verse.

Now there was only one person left.

When everyone’s eyes were focused, the chairman cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed and began to sing.

“A lullaby comes to the land of birds

Both the chickadee and the owl close their eyes.

One chick is a mess-”

A lullaby sung by a singer with pale skin under the moonlight.

A voice that seems not of this world echoes across the lakeside.

The sound of the wind, insects, and waves all became quiet in front of the chairman’s song.

“-Go back to the nest, little chick.

I have nothing more to give you this night.

I won’t give you any more nights… There is none… ”

“Wow.”

Cleo and Hwayoung applauding.

“Coleman.”

“… ”

“Mr. Coleman.”

“… ”

“Colman County. If you look at me like that, the chairman’s face will wear out.”

Even after hearing those words, I couldn’t take my eyes off the chairman’s face.

The chairman turned his head away, perhaps feeling embarrassed.

“Hehe. I’m not good at singing… Oh my, what is this?”

A strange creature was rubbing itself against the chairman’s leg.

A cat-sized beast that looks like a cross between a frog and a salamander.

Judging by the footprints, it seemed like he had walked out of the lake.

Wait, I saw this in a book.

“It’s Silade.”

“Silade?”

“It’s a type of Great Lakes monster. I haven’t noticed it lately… I guess I came out because I was drawn to the chairman’s song.”

“Do you think the heavens are supporting our romantic era?

As I was trying to send the Great Lake monsters to the new camp, this guy crawled out for the first time in 25 years… ”

The chairman picked it up and held it up to eye level.

Ugh. You have a good stomach too. I don’t like those sticky aquatic creatures…

What about aquatic creatures?

In an instant, a puzzle was put together in my head.

“What do you think, Coleman? Should we raise it in the student council?”

“… ”

“Coleman?”

“Chairman.”

The words came out of nowhere without me even realizing it.

“You have a very beautiful voice. Do you have any mermaid ancestors?”

bang.

The sound of a flipper hitting a barbecue grill.

When I turned my head, Tangaroa was glaring at me with a stern face.

The moment he was about to open his beak, the chairman handed Cleo the Silade.

“Cleo. Would you like to feed him? Do you want to eat sausage?”

“Ah… yes. Let’s try feeding him something first.”

“If I pick some water plants over there, wouldn’t you eat them?”

The chairman, who had sent Hwayoung and Cleo away, looked at me intently.

Her eyes look a little sad.

Confused? Feeling betrayed? longing? sorry?

“That’s right. My grandfather was a mermaid. The voice was also inherited from there.”

also…

Haley’s older sister said that the chairman was a surviving member of the royal family of the covenant world.

But could a small collateral royal family member be a bargaining chip that could persuade the covenant world heroes?

The chairman’s father was Princess Deneb’s illegitimate son from her relationship with a mermaid.

Great-granddaughter of Vega II, the only surviving direct royal family member. That’s lilac.

“Seeing you say that, I guess you had something to point out.”

“… The new housemaster Petra Lin. I’m an intelligence agent.”

The chairman sighed and nodded.

“Sorry. I was thinking about telling you, but no matter how much I am, I can’t go around leaking security-”

“Did you know that Petra Lynn’s true identity is my older sister, Hayley Cantor?”

“What?”

Her eyes widened.

“I guess you didn’t know. My sister came to visit me and said that.

Chairman, no, become a spy to monitor the actions of Her Highness the Crown Princess.”

“… Seeing you say that, I guess you didn’t receive it.”

“Yes. I refused. So he said this.

The more you do things, the more reason the opposition has to kick you out.

Then neither you nor the princess will be safe. So, just keep the romantic era within the academy… ”

The evening breeze creates waves on the lake.

A wave that foams and disappears when it touches the ground.

“Coleman.”

“Yes.”

“If you’re scared, it’s okay to give up. Because I don’t want you to get hurt because of me.”

“What about the Chairman?”

“I will do it until the end. Because I was prepared.”

Half air, half voice.

“How can you do it without me? If the chairman does it, I have to do it too.”

“It will work out somehow. You made the rules. So don’t burden yourself-”

“Hold on tight!”

“You hold it… Ouch!”

A commotion in the shallow water.

Tangaroa is holding on to Silade’s arms, but the boy is struggling as if he doesn’t like it.

Hwayoung sketched in the mess with a thin brush.

“That’s it. You can let go now!”

“Aaagh!”

“Ah,” said Silade, biting his furry forearm.

Cleo, who saw that, clapped her hands and said.

“This guy seems to have a stronger bite than he looks!

I remembered. Strike armed, bite.

Attack 1, Accuracy 4, Penetration 2, Damage 1.”

“Help me when I have time to talk like that!”

I watched it blankly.

And I woke up slowly.

“Coleman.”

“I’ll go first.”

“Colman, you.”

“I’m not leaving, so don’t worry.”

I carefully pushed away the chairman’s hand that was holding me.

“I will never leave you, Chairman.”

“… then… ”

“I want to meet my sister. meet… Let me tell you that you have decided.”
