Chapter 45 (1/2)

Once the funda died down, Rudel and the others were released from the disciplinary room The reason was simple, the disciplinary room was now at full capacity, and the teachers called this a specialthe riot While Eunius rejoiced, he was the only one who had re around the corner, while Rudel and Luecke went to pay Vargas a visit

Izumi accompanied them, and as the three of thehtful for fed fruit by Basyle

”He sure has it easy at a time like this”

Luecke peered in from the entrance Izumi watched and wondered if that was how people saw her and Rudel… she warmly watched over them But Rudel boldly entered that dimension of happiness

”Are you okay, Vargas? So the two of you got along that well… anyways, there was so I wanted to consult with you on”

”… Rudel, you're a”

”Yeah, it's Rudel after all”

Luecke and Izuas panicked with a reddened face, but Basyle just grinned

”T-this is, uht, well, that's how it is”

While Vargas tried to give an excuse, Rudel cut right into his main point

”The truth is, what I wanted to talk about… I'm troubled because I don't kno I'm supposed to treat my brother Can you tell s, so I thought it ht serve as reference”

Alongside the cafeteria incident, Rudel explained how his little brother Chlust seemed terribly afraid In fear of the first year Fritz, he had holed hias was surprised such an a instant had happened while he was hospitalized, but was evento consult on his brother

”You don't get along with your siblings, right? So I don't think there'smy family to your relationshi+p with Chlust, but…to do about that first year Fritz?”

Vargas seemed mindful of Fritz and the first years who caused an incident of this level They had gone too far, but even if they had gotten high on their horses, they were fellow commoner students Surely he was curious about the punishment in store for them

”I'm not really interested so I'll leave it to the head I can decide So how should I interact with Chlust?”

After thinking a bit, Vargas couldn't reach an answer so he started talking about himself

”Hah, this'll just be about s, and I'm close to both ood reference, but… if they did so bad I would scold theht, I'd teach theht”

”You didn't lend them a hand?”

”No, wouldn't it be strange if I ca all the time, you know So if when ht and don't lose next time! I cheered him on”

Hearing that, Rudel thought up so in wonder

”Chlust-saht? What reason do you have to care about hie, but…”

Rudel and Chlust's relations were terribly twisted Warped enough it wouldn't be strange to see the over the position of future archduke Basyle couldn't understand why Rudel would care about such a person Izumi was also curious

”I think you should stop getting involved with his to think about, and while I don't think you'll raise a hand against your little brother after he was scared so… what are you trying to do?”

”Yeah, I was thinking to help hi, he won't be of any use after he's sent to the borders, and in the worst case, it could lead to his death Chlust is loved by my parents… I don't want my family to be saddened”

On those words, Luecke felt a slight sense of unease

”But didn't you say your parents hate you? Do you really have to care about those sorts of parents? My parents were strict, but that was toyours are like that”

While four pairs of eyes gathered on hi

”I'hto to this academy It's just as Fritz said, I really a Chlust for it see”

Having heard out Rudel's feelings, while they couldn't quite grasp it, they didn't oppose it either Vargas posed a question as a representative

”So what are you going to do with Chlust? This is incoht”

It was a question tinged with jest, but Rudel was serious
