Chapter 56 (1/2)

h.e.l.lo friends,

It’s not that you can’t complain. It’s perfectly reasonable to complain that you don’t like this new development, or that you aren’t really too happy with this new character.

But if I check your comment history, and find out you’ve been commenting nothing but complaints, criticisms and oddly aggressive opinions, you had better not expect to have the privilege of commenting for much longer.

Ve**ullis, compare yourself to the other people who have been complaining about Doug, and have a think about what you did differently.

Sincerely,

the translator

That day, a rather strange scene unfolded at the dining hall.

“Doug, bring me dinner. I think wieners, with salad and corn soup would be nice.”

“Yes.”

At Fii’s command, Doug ran to line up.

Although Fii was acting like it was her birthright, the people around her couldn’t understand what was happening.

Up until yesterday, Doug had been chasing her around to challenge her while she either coldly rejected him or avoided him before he was a bother.

So then why were they now…

As the boys looked over at Fii who was relaxing in her chair as she waited for Doug to deliver the food, they all thought one thing.

(What the h.e.l.l have you done now, Heath…)

Fii was famous in this dorm for being the owner to a ‘despicable’ personality.

She was cheerful, yes, and she was sociable. If anybody was having problems, she would immediately go to help them. Even though she should have been such a nice boy, the way she fought was dreadful and dirty.

Stomping on people’s toes came naturally to her, and sometimes she would even pretend to drop her sword and then use that opening to launch surprise attacks. Sometimes she would throw her sword, and in close quarters she would often kick them through any opening possible. Even though Fii wasn’t very strong overall, and even though her small body lacked much power, she was one of the hardest fighters to deal with in the whole dorm.

In contrast to her favourable personality, it was possible to see her nasty sides during her matches .

The fact was that Doug and Heath’s positions had reversed overnight.

All the apprentice knights were certain that she had done something despicable again, just like in her matches. Almost everybody also vowed in their minds to let sleeping dogs lie.

But Remié, who had the healthiest att.i.tude in this dorm, tried to stop her.

Despite how pale he was, he desperately tried to persuade Fii.

“Y-, You’re going a little bit too far, Heath. It’s true that he stubbornly followed you around, so I know that you found him unpleasant, but,”

Fii held up her index finger and replied seriously,

“No. How you treat them in the beginning is the most important.”

Fii considered her actions to be emergency measures.

Just saying “Don’t tell anybody I’m a girl” was no good to her. It would just bring her weakness to Doug’s attention.

Unless she controlled Doug on a more comprehensive level, she wouldn’t be able to avoid the risk of her secret being leaked.

To that end, she used Doug’s weakness to demand absolute obedience from him. She needed a way to stop him from revealing her secret until he truly was obedient as well.

“Just so you know, I don’t plan on treating him like this forever, okay. It’s just in the beginning that I’ll order him about like this. It’s so that he learns to obey me.”
