The end of the academy semester.

After the final exams were over and the final administrative work, including calculating grades, was done, students were wrapping up the semester with a sense of liberation that their exams were over.

“It’s getting warmer, so I can tell that summer has definitely come.”

“I agree. Now, I can’t even afford to pay my debts.. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t stand it without cooling magic.”

The weather is starting to get warmer and warmer.

Taking comfort in the fact that they could at least read during class and actually have free time while being hit by the cold wind, Katlena and her friends began to express their anticipation for the upcoming vacation.

“Does everyone have any special plans for the holidays?”

“I’m planning to go to Benet’s this vacation. I heard there’s a huge auction there. My father said he’d buy anything I wanted.”

“That would be nice.. Benessa Auction. I heard that all sorts of valuable items are coming from the East. If I get the chance, I definitely want to go.”

Although Bella is the daughter of a noble family, her family itself is somewhat of a minority.

In that respect, she felt considerable envy towards Rania, who was the daughter of a wealthy merchant family, although she was a commoner by birth, rather than her own family, which was not very substantial.

at that time..

“Benetsara.. Then, would you like to go together this time?”

“Huh? How?”

Bella’s eyes sparkle at Katlena’s sudden suggestion.

Erin also started to show her curiosity without saying anything, and seeing the reactions of the two, Katlena suddenly felt like petting these cute little ones and said to them.

“Even though it looks like this, she is the daughter of the Duke’s family. If you just ask your father, it wouldn’t be that hard for the four of us to go and play together. If you want, I’ll make sure to arrange a place for you.”

“I agree! I can’t miss this great opportunity.”

“I’m fine too. To be honest, since it’s my first vacation, I was a little unsure of how to spend it.”

“I’d be happy if we could all go together. Since we’re going, let’s all participate in the auction together.”

They were talking with such expectant expressions.

Looking at this, Katlena began to smile, anticipating that she would be able to have a much happier vacation than her previous life.

“Whew.. It’s over.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Chairman.”

“Good job, sister.”

Elios sighs deeply after processing the last of the documents.

Seeing her like this, Elina and Senel greeted her lightly with a sense of liberation.

“Yeah, you guys worked hard too.”

Elios says his closing remarks, realizing that this semester, which has been more hectic than usual, has finally come to an end.

At the same time, she began to feel the heavy burden that had been on her shoulders for a semester being lifted.

‘That damn nectar incident was pretty big. It caused such a mess during the exam period… Well, fortunately, it ended without any problems thanks to Katlena and Zeros…”

Katlena, who made clear the existence of Nectar, and Zeros, who ‘coincidentally’ reported the person believed to be the culprit of this incident.

Elios considered it a truly fortunate thing that thanks to the two of them, the issue that almost would have continued into the next semester was resolved in advance.

Even though it was her, I didn’t want to leave her with work that would be irritating her throughout the vacation.

‘It’s vacation… Now that I think about it, I heard there’s a large-scale auction at Benetsa this time? It seems like more merchants are coming in than usual… I might be able to get my hands on some pretty good stuff.’

With that thought in mind, Elios begins to consider his own schedule for the vacation.

Then, she locked the door to the student council office, which had been closed for a while, and started walking down the hallway with the student council officers.

‘Come to think of it… I only have 3 summer vacations left in my life… Since it’s already come to this, it might not be a bad idea to go out and play with these guys this time.’

In the endless flow of time, she was always busy living.

In that respect, I’m starting to think that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try to have fun like my younger sibling this summer vacation.

The carriage leaves the academy and begins to head towards Sophia.

Inside, Zeros began to furtively look at the three princesses in front of him.

‘What should I say? It’s a pretty good scene to watch, but… since I’m in a third-person position, I can’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.’

They are having a warm conversation, sitting in front of and next to each other.

The sight of the sisters feeling friendly with each other was a nice scene to see because it showed that the relationship between the three had become much closer than before. However, it was inevitable that Zeros, who was present in the situation, felt a bit left out.

‘Well… Still, it’s definitely a good thing that Katlena has become close with her sisters. Especially, becoming close with Elios is a positive thing in the sense that it increases her chances of survival.’

Zeros tries to dispel his uncomfortable feelings by recalling as many positive aspects of the current situation as possible.

Meanwhile, despite his situation, Senel spoke to Katlena in his usual cheerful voice.

“Hoo.. So, you’re thinking of going to Benet’s this time too?”

“Yes, Lania told me that there are a lot of rare items there. I want to go there with my friends too.”

“Hehehe, that’s good. My older sister made a similar suggestion to me. Since it’s come to this, let’s all go together.”

Catlena begins to feel a different sense of anticipation at Senel’s words than before.

Even though they were sisters, she had never gone out with her sisters before.

The current situation was making her feel a bit anxious and excited at the same time.

“I… but… are you okay, sis?”

Katlena asks Elios carefully, with such emotions in her voice.

At this, Elios spoke to his youngest brother with a quiet smile on his lips.

“There’s no reason why it wouldn’t work. It would be easier that way, including security. Then I’ll make a plan like that. As originally planned, the student council officers and Katlena’s friends will go to Benet’s together.”

“Thank you, Sister.”

At Elios’ words, Katlena expressed her genuine joy.

A trip with her sisters, something she would never have imagined in her previous life.

The fact that it was accomplished meant that the relationship between herself and her older sister had become quite strong, and this was likely to play a very important role in the series of events that would occur later.

‘Thank goodness… If we can continue to maintain a positive relationship like this, at least my sister won’t laugh me to death.’

Although quite some time had passed since her return, the most important thing for Katlena was still her survival, and equally important was her relationship with Zeros.

In that sense, her academy life over the past few months has been a very meaningful time that has allowed her to kill two birds with one stone, and she hopes that the next semester will continue in the same way.

Of course, there were still unexpected variables that arose along the way that required caution.

‘Anyway, so this vacation, I’ll spend a month of sweet time with Zeros and then go play at Baennessa with my sisters and friends, right? It seems like there won’t be any headaches, so that’s good. I’ll be able to relax and enjoy myself for the first time in a while.’

Suddenly, the girl in Sophia… Arachne came to mind, but honestly, since she had already confirmed her feelings for Zeros by kissing him, Katlena wasn’t that worried about that part.

So, the carriage began to speed towards Sopa, carrying Katlena and her party, who thought they would be able to relax for a while.
