”I'h to have to take up a side job”
Hearing that, Basyle gave her thanks At the end, shethe shop
Having beco a majority of his time with Luecke and Eunius It was forcefully decided that he would take territory e theether with the other eldest sons of the Three Lords
The three of theether half as a matter of course, and Izumi as noay more than not It happened when the four of them enjoyed a meal at the cafeteria
”You asked that lady to take up a job?”
Eunius ate his large serving of the lunch set as he showed interest in Rudel's story
”If you're a student, then I get the feeling that endeavoring through your studies will be the safer option”
In contrast to Eunius' reaction, Luecke read a book as he put a das you could only do as a student in school
”But now is the only tiet busy… This is just what Basyle said, but it's a good opportunity to see the world”
Luecke felt so his book down, he opted to hear out the story
”That woht for me to join in as well? If I don't keep a watch on that wos to take a turn for the worse”
”That's fine, but are your classes alright, Izuht, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of necessary courses
”Erk, I-I'll do so about it!”
Looking at Rudel and Izuht inside, but didn't put to mouth As they carried out such a conversation, Eunius finished up his lunch and voiced his oill to join in
”Then I'ood opportunity, and it sounds fun!”
”… I'm surprised you can say that with your abysmal academics… well, I have so”
While the four of them spoke, one of the students in the cafeteria raised a sound as he stood froroup, but… his eyes were filled with ill intent
Noticing that, the four looked at the students, around him his pears desperately tried to return hi student didn't aze an inch
”What a sight When we desperately earned h and hty heir do the arses House careshis land? I'ardless of all the people pained by your actions No, perhaps you can do it through your blissful ignorance?”
As he spoke, his thorn-like so boy was of brown hair and blue eyes, without any particular features that stood out But that being the case, his facial features were in order Fro to contain him, they couldn't think he was a bad person
”Quit it Fritz! You're picking a fight you can't win You're dealing with our upperclassmen of the Three Lord Houses!”
As the surrounding voices grew louder, Rudel chose to ignore the boy It wasn't as if he didn't like him, or wasn't interested in him The boy spoke the truth, and Rudel understood it was a probles someday
But it's precisely because he are, that he thought saying so across If he said he's become an archduke to save them, that held no credibility If he turned defiant, even more so And… Rudel's dream lay on a path in the polar opposite direction of the boy's words
”Why not say so because of you!!!?”
To the yelling boy, Luecke and Eunius stood and ged at Rudel's clothes, evidently worried he ht cause a problem
Whispering to Izumi it wouldn't be a problem, Rudel stood and looked at the boy From his appearance, he could tell he wasn't a noble but a coreat pains to send him to this academy Perhaps he was even a citizen of arses territory
In that case, I just have to becouy If the boy has soher… or so Rudel thought
”I' will resolve the problem, then yell at me all you want, shout all you want Once the fundamental curriculum ends, the third to fifth years have and individual entry tournament If you can make it that far, I'll at least hear you out”
Saying that, Rudel left the cafeteria Luecke and the others followed behind… and a little ways away, Aleist entered the cafeteria with his friend, but…
”W-what's with this heavy air!?”
That indescribably air enveloping the cafeteria left them both in surprise
