Chapter 81 (1/2)
Around the tis, Aleist was also training to master his oers
”Aleist-sama's so cool!!”
… But by Aleist's popularity at the acadeular basis Whether he swung his sword or used his ic, those shrill cheers would fly his way But every time the man in question received those cheers, he would fall into a slump
(This is wrong This isn't hoas supposed to be)
The scenery he had once longed for was now the norm But Aleist had only just confessed his love to Millia Truthfully, he would be satisfied if only Millia was there, and while he didn't want to be hated by those around him, he didn't want to be liked this much
Before his final individuals' tournaain as much control of his powers as he could This would be the last tiainst Rudel
(Well, no one knohat the future holds If possible, I do hope this is the last… I really would like to avoid any death matches in the future)
The future he spoke of hat cae froame, Aleist didn't knoould becos were going, he couldn't even predict how things would turn out
He had becohts, and the side character Rudel was the white knight
(He proclai, so is he still ai to happen during the war? I think the last boss will be easy picking for Rudel and Sakuya as they are now, but…)
Inificent fall The i the selection test was fall, and he could vividly picture a scene of theht into the last boss
(Yep, it's starting to feel kinda hopeless)
Around noon, Aleist visited the cafeteria with his friends
With his dailyand his acadeer Once he entered the cafeteria, he found the si amiably with their friends as they filled the seats
Lining up in the food line, Aleist's friend looked around to search out an empty seat But from what he could see, they were all filled in, so he let out a complaint
”We were late after all If only we'd been a bit earlier”
Aleist looked around as well, fully agreeing with that sentiment The class he had been in was held in the classroom furthest from the cafeteria And as he had a chat while he walked, he ended up a little later than usual This situation came forth from only a little extra time, so his friends continued to search out any seat that seeh
There, one of his friends spotted Aleist's exclusive seat
”Ah, Aleist, there's an empty seat over there”
”Eh? … Ah, no, I want to eat with you guys today
Following his friend's gaze, he found the five fe at the same table At that round table, there was only one seat left open
It was a table of beauties, but no one even tried to sit down From the start, they let off an air that made it hard to approach, but it was also clear that seat had been saved for a certain someone
As Aleist averted his eyes, he felt a cold sweat break out The hare to experience once in his life, after going through it once, he never wanted to taste it again On top of not being able to tell the taste of what he was putting in his e tension in the air…
Just reht him pain
”… No, it'll be terrible if you don't go, Aleist”
”That's right! We've followed through for you a few tiirls reo sacrifice your lunch time”
”Lay off me! I want to stand by Millia alone!”
Aleist put up resistance, but his friends shook their heads That wasn't an envy against ahim eyes of pity
”Give it up You have some fault in this”
”Because of that, we learned so Harems are beautiful precisely because they're dreams”
”It's ah it seems they all think they're number one”
Aleist held his head Building an urge to punch his past harely terrible this situation was His confession to Millia hadn't gone doell If they ever locked eyes, their faces would turn red and no words would coraduate the academy
In contrast, talks with the five whoined
First was Yunia Luneice, and she was a girl of a Marquis House Aleist's parents were also exceedingly on board their talks of engagehly for being the black knight The black knight tied to the founding of the nation, if their daughter were to be with him… honestly, they were fine if she was a mistress
Aleist would eventually become a mainstay of the country, and they had no objections with the slightest increase in authority they could get
Following on was Seli, and she was also being pushed for strongly by her house As it was a former noble military house, once they learned of the existence of what could be called the strongest knight, they cheerfully brought up talks of e
Recovering their own status was probably included in their field of vision, but Aleist's parents had given approval
Juju said she had no problem if the head of the household- Aleist- told her to be a mistress Apart from the fact her letters revealed she was a bit dissatisfied her partner wasn't Rudel, there wasn't anything particularly threatening about her The fact there was nothing was the scariest part…
Lux and the blue haired girl Ciel were cohted than he had expected Aleist's parents scolded hi too many mistresses, but they didn't put up and particular opposition
They sial ould soon come from out of his mistresses
(That's definitely strange! What's with 'great ht e fro about how one of the princesses ht marry me!!)
”You're the worst”
Seeing Aleist hand his head, the lared at hied eyes, Aleist arned by his friends
”Yep, we know you so we can sy… now resolve yourself and head to that table”
”You really should be careful walking ho for your life”
”If anything happens, feel free to discuss it!”
”Then save me Now”
On Aleist's words his friends all took a glance at the table where those five aiting before answering with s too, but it was so
”Impossible”
”Sorry”
”Godspeed”
At that ti Aleist fro at her table called out
They had finished theiron drinks as they talked About the future, and mostly about the individuals' tournament Eunius orried about Rudel's participation, and while Luecke wasn't taking part, he said he was busy with preparations But as Aleist sent a glance in Aleist's direction, the conversation naturally flowed towards Aleist
”He did it again? Aleist really never learns, does he You're not usually supposed to date the you're supposed to do in secret”
On Eunius' fed-up face, Luecke was even more fed up
”You're usually not supposed to cheat to begin with But I a off to be surrounded by them now”
”… Hey, Izumi, does Rudel cheat? Or is it that? Does it depend on your definition of the word?”
Thinking up so Izumi about Rudel While Rudel had conducted ular basis, he was earnest in the strangest of places But they were dealing with Rudel There was no way to be certain he wasn't getting wo
In truth, Rudel had a repertoire of special anti-women skills
Izumi shook her head and told Eunius she didn't have the answer he was looking for
”Ever since he declined that confession fro themselves to confess… no, but Ness-san did volunteer to be his slave”
”… That one really is terrifying”
On Eunius' ht for just a moment on whether he meant Rudel or Ness He concluded that both sides were terrifying
”There was a tiirls' dorlad I sealed his petting We were almost too late”
Thinking back on it, it all seeirls' dorm really was in a terrible state When there were some who purposely came out to be pet by Rudel, Izumi recalled how she wanted to cry She wanted to believe it was her i those who petitioned for her to lift the petting ban
But there, Luecke's joke becahable one
”You sealed his petting, right? Perhaps you've ”
As Luecke laughed, Eunius wholeheartedly jumped onto the conversation
