270 – The end is only the beginning

The end of the school year is just around the corner.

Tomorrow will be the winter break. 1St grade is over.

‘It has been a very eventful year. I didn’t expect it to be this long.’

Kyle thought so, but she thought of something and she burst out laughing.

Somehow, I remember the things that happened outside the academy more than my life at the academy.

From going west and stepping on the drug lords of the Kingdom Alliance.

I went to the independent lords in the south who were said to have protruded from those drug lords and made them imperial-friendly.

After that, they went all the way east and put the nomadic tribes under the influence of the Empire.

Memories of being at the academy? Well. Anyway, I listened to the lecture.

If I had to pick another one, it would probably be about building a very large gym.

‘At this point, I’m confused whether I came as a student or as a mercenary.’

Kyle laughed, but she didn’t mean it was bad.

Rather, she thought this was better than she thought.

At least she didn’t get kicked out for smashing up the academy like Leah did.

“Kyle.”

From the front, Elgar, whose face was cut in half, weakly greeted her.

These days, more and more work has come in, so it seems that my soul has really gone out.

Starting from the dark circle that seems to be drooping right now, the Grand Duke position is never a good thing.

The moment she took it on, she was telling her that it was a hell she could never escape from.

“You look very tired, Miss Elgar.”

“A little bit.”

“A little?”

“… To be honest, it’s a bit difficult. Still, thanks to Kyle, I’m holding on.”

It wasn’t just words, it was a really, sincere answer.

Just looking at the papers makes me so sick of it that I vomit.

What I can endure in that situation is because I have ‘stamina’ backed up.

If my physical strength was the same as when I entered school, I would have been out a long time ago.

“Nowadays, I think I can understand why our Littorio has put so much effort into martial arts.”

“Isn’t it for nothing that they say that physical strength is national strength?”

“Yes. Really… whatever you do In the end, I think the body has to follow.”

Elgar shook her head and stretched her body.

She doesn’t stop, but she whispers softly into my ear as if she remembered something.

“Maybe. Did you do anything to help Leto? If not, did she threaten?”

“Yes? What do you mean all of a sudden?”

In response to Kyle’s question, Elgar shrugged her shoulders once and replied.

“Some time ago, he suddenly started focusing on swordsmanship. He was Leto, who had put down his sword for a while, saying he had no talent for swordsmanship.”

“… I never threatened to hold the sword, even though I threatened to hold the stick.”

In the first place, even Kyle himself is an outsider when it comes to ‘swordsmanship’.

I don’t know if it’s a body composition that allows me to wield a sword.

“Really? It’s strange. Suddenly, not too long ago, you’ve been working really hard.”

“There is something I want to ask Elga-sama. Did she help Leto in any way?”

“Am I? I do not know. All I did was ask Nell to help her with her studies.”

If that’s all, Leto’s mood has been looking great lately.

Kyle is playing with Leto’s chin, remembering Leto’s expression.

“Kyle. Mr. Elgar.”

Tisha with a very bright face approached from the other side.

Should I say it’s a part that contrasts very much with the nerdy Elgar?

“… What. Why does Tisha look fine?”

“Yes? Me? Uh, I stayed up all night tonight.”

“You look too normal for that.”

At Elgar’s question, Tisha tilts her head and smiles.

Then she replied, ‘Maybe it’s because it’s a habit to stay up all night.’

“Right. Kyle. Is there anything wrong with Ian?”

“Eh?”

“I saw you on the way back, and you looked really good.”

“Uh… I do not know. I remember that not too long ago, on the contrary, it wasn’t very good.”

“Really? It’s strange. Of course, I thought it was because Kyle helped him in some way.”

With that said, Kyle, Tisha, and Elgar. These three look at each other alternately.

Obviously there are people who support and support each other.

Weirdly, did the subjects change something without even knowing it?

“First of all, it seems right that we are doing this because we have made some progress with Nell.”

“I don’t know how it works. I can’t even ask you outright.”

Should we try tailing at least once? Asks Elgar.

But Kyle shook her head. Then what do you do if you get caught?

After a brief conversation about Ian, Leto, and Nell, the men and women switched topics.

“Did you hear the news? That the 5th princess is coming at this closing ceremony.”

“So I was surprised. A congratulatory message from someone who suddenly doesn’t fit in.”

“Why? I’m sure you’ll come next time at the closing ceremony of the sophomore year.”

At Elgar’s mischievous words, Kyle unconsciously held her face.

Of course it will. Until she graduated from the academy.

Fortunately, is it enough to not hold a closing ceremony for the first and second semesters?

The princess of the empire shouldn’t be this light.

No matter how much you say you’re looking for someone you like, it’s not that bad.

Still, her name is a princess, so wouldn’t it be nice to have her noble figure?

“I can see what you’re thinking, but give up. Kyle.”

Kyle’s worries were quickly shattered by Elgar.

“You know the style of the princess. If it’s for Kyle’s sake, she’s the kind of person who would even take the place of the princess.”

“Please, please don’t say such scary things. It’s scary already.”

Then the emperor comes to visit and she is afraid that she will try to stop the princess.

It’s not that he’s particularly afraid of the imperial family, but he’s still the emperor.

I don’t want to get the title of ‘John Nassen, who made even the Emperor of Gears kneel’.

Because all the favorable eyes toward Jon Nassen, which he barely regained, may disappear.

Kyle brings up another topic, hoping that this will not happen.

“You both know, right? During this vacation.”

“Hey, I’ve already roughly finished my sorcery research. It’s relaxing for a while.”

“… IM jealous. No matter how much I try to get rid of it, I can’t see the end.”

Both were faithful to their work, but the results were different.

First of all, Tisha could see that it was the end anyway.

Above all, he proved to the emperor the completion of barrier magic not too long ago.

The emperor was very satisfied with it and applauded.

The part where he directly admired and said, “It can be compared to magic.”

Thanks to this, the status of witchcraft has been officially stabilized.

From now on, it means that the magic boom is really ready to happen.

Therefore, Tisha had to wait for her junior to appear soon.

However, Elgar himself is a kind of junior.

She used to prepare for the next anti-aircraft without realizing it.

As she formally became the successor, the work to be done multiplied several times.

It is natural that there is no comparison.

There are vassals, but the grand duke’s own ability is also very important.

No matter how good the vassals are, what if the archduke’s ability is poor?

You can become a person who is dragged around by his vassals and only stamps for payment.

“Don’t worry about that. My parents just wanted to see their faces, and they said they had something to say. It’s not like last time, so don’t worry. I have explained the situation.”

Everyone has their own life. Just because you are John Nassen, no one else is Jon Nassen.

Some people spend their time studying witchcraft, while others prepare for the next high office.

Because I know that, I’ve been thinking about it for about a week.

“Uh. There. Isn’t that Nell?”

“I see. Ian on the other side, and Leto on the other side.”

“Wait a minute. I don’t think this is a very tense moment.”

An encounter between two men with one woman.

I never thought I’d even see it right in front of me!

Kyle, Tisha, and Elga too.

It was a moment when everyone was worried but looked excited.

“Brothers and sisters? What are you doing?”

The saintess appeared from behind and tilted her head as she approached them.

Then, Ian and Leto moved their eyes in the same way. And I started looking at Nell.

“Aha.”

“Saint?”

Unlike the three men and women who are worried, nervous, and interested.

There was only a calm smile on the saintess’s face.

There, Tisha and Elgar found something.

There must be a reason for the saintess to make such an expression.

“Actually, those two brothers have been talking about their troubles recently. And I answered him wholeheartedly. I wondered if it would have been of great help, but it is fortunate that you are still smiling.”

A saintess who claps lightly with a gentle smile.

Looking at her, Kyle nodded her head, saying, ‘As expected, it was a saint.’

Come to think of it, the saintess helped the original protagonists even when they were lost.

After that, Tisha and Elga seemed to have figured out the situation.

He looked at her saintess and smiled at her.

“The saintess helped you?”

“Well? All I did was say something to the two brothers.”

“I guess that simple answer was much better than my advice or Tisha’s advice.”

From now on, all worries will be taken care of by the saintess!

It was Elgar who presented a fairly reasonable opinion.

“Brother Kyle. You told me to visit Baron John Nassen during this vacation.”

“Yes. Saintess. I said so.”

“Can the brothers and sisters from the church accompany me?”

If it was the old church, they would have rejected it like a knife.

How dare people who don’t even know the letter ‘ㅇ’ in the movement come to John Nassen’s realm?

But not anymore. Almost a year has passed.

Many in the current church have passed the healthy or strong stage.

Finally, in John Nassen, ‘Um. I still did a little bit of exercise.’ Should I say that?

“Yes. Anything. People from my hometown will always welcome those who have achieved reasonable results through steady efforts.”
