The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs-Volume 6, Epilogue

A few days had passed since Leon’s Sky Pirates incident. Clement appeared at Emile's mansion.

"Miss Lelia, the Six Families have finished speaking with the Kingdom's diplomats." Clement, who served the House of Lespinasse in the past, was now a professor at the Academy. Lelia sat on the couch to listen to the report.

She looked out the window and saw that it was snowing.

-And so? How will Leon and others be judged?

Leon and the others who acted in a fight with the Republic would be brought to justice, of course.

That's what she thought, but actually Lelia's prediction was wrong."None of that, they have been cleared of all charges."

"W-Why !? Maybe they could have gotten the sentence reduced, but they won't sentence them after all they've done !?”

Dressed as pirates of the sky, they destroyed a Republic ship. That alone is a serious crime.

And furthermore, they were hurting the people involved with the six noble families."What do you mean by nothing?" That was Lelia's honest feeling.

"A diplomat from the kingdom was a great negotiator." And it seems the Raults are still working. Clement's gaze sharpened.

For the Lespinasse family, the Rault family is the enemy.

Knowing that the Raults are on the move must have bothered Clement as well.

"The Raults again?"

Are they really going to join forces with the Raults? Teaming up with the enemy is the worst thing you can do.

From Lelia's point of view, it felt like she had been betrayed.

Although they promised to protect the Sacred Tree and restore peace to the Republic, Leon and Marie joined the scoundrel Alberg.

However, Clement also had other information.

"Furthermore, the heads of the six great noble families have officially announced that this sacrificial fiasco was not the will of the Holy Tree."

-… Yes they are very honest. I heard it was different, but is it something you can believe so quickly?

The subject related to the Sacred Tree was very sensitive in the Republic.

And yet, it was hard to believe that just because Leon said, "That's a foreign object attached to the Sacred Tree."

She wondered if Clement agreed with him.

"I did not foresee this result." What if they had been persuaded by the Raults?

Lelia had no idea what was going on."I'll go talk to Leon and the others."

"Miss Lelia, Leon and the others are a danger now. It is very likely that they have been misled by House Rault.”

"But I'll still talk to them."

Also, we have Ideal around here.

She already had a power equivalent to that of Leon and the others. This made Lelia feel more secure.

Then Emile came back from outside and came to the room they were in. Emile, dressed in a suit and with his coat under his arm, greeted Clement."Mr. Clement, it's been a long time." 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

"Emile, you look good too." More importantly, what is happening today? "They called me at my parents' house." There was a problem with the Rault house. -Issue?

Lelia got up and urged a tired-looking Emile to tell her what was going on."Emile, what was the problem with the Rault family?"

"Are you interested? I haven't heard the details yet, but for some reason, Mr. Alberg thinks Serge doesn't have the qualifications to be the head of his family.”

Lelia overreacted to the story of Serge's lack of qualities.

-What is happening!?

"Calm down, Lelia." It is still a rumor. It has been suggested that Serge could be removed from office and Louise's future husband could be the next head of the family. I have a fiancee, so I just ended up listening to that conversation. I'm sure single men will approach Louise from now on.

If Serge is removed from office, then the seat to the future head of the House of Rault is waiting.

It was a great opportunity for men. But Lelia wasn't convinced.

Why will Serge be fired? Could that be involved with Leon and the others?

◇

Winter break was almost over and the day Anjie and Livia would return had arrived.

When we got to the port, the wind was cold and unpleasant."Be careful, you two."

Anjie was in awe in front of me, who was about to cry.

"That's our line. You're going to have a hard time in this strange place.” Livia smiled at me, she was a little worried.

"We could be of help this time. And, Leon … you must not fool around on us.”

Hey? Are you going to say it here? It was a misunderstanding.

Seeing the subtle look on my face, Anjie asked Luxon to keep an eye on me.

"Luxon, make sure Leon doesn't fool around on us."

[Leave it to me. If I see any signs of infidelity, I'll let you know right away.] How about any signs?

"Will you judge if I have an affair, depending on the amount of suspicion I make?"

[Yes. So please be very careful what you do.]

"… Not exactly the kind of thing an observer would say." Livia looked at Noelle, who had come to see them off.

"Leon, can I speak to Noelle? It's an important conversation between women, so don't listen.”

Should I answer yes with a smile? I nodded repeatedly and agreed.

◇

Noelle felt very uncomfortable when she approached them. She had a general idea of what Livia and Anjie were thinking.

I thought they didn't feel anything for me, but they are more jealous than I imagined. She felt that when she entered the spirit world to help Louise.

It was Anjie's rage and Livia's awkward jealousy.

They had a pretty face and both were very scary inside.

She tried not to look at him in the spirit world, but the emotions they had against her were horrible.

Anjie's eyes on Noelle were stern.

"I'm not going to try to fix it now. You know how we feel, right?” Noelle nodded.

She feared that Livia's emotions were too careless. Livia was smiling, and Anjie spoke for her.

"I feel like I'm filled with jealousy." Livia is a sweetie. I also think you're that cute, Livia.

"Anjie, Noelle is in front of us."

And Noelle looked concerned about their relationship.

These two --- if it weren't for Leon, they probably would have ended up together.

Aren't they supposed to be interested in men since they're with Leon?

The two are so attracted to each other that it seems so. Livia gave Noelle a serious look.

"Noelle, let's talk about Leon."

"L-Like I said I am not having an affair with him. I'm moving into Marie's house soon."

“No, that doesn't matter anymore."

-Wha…?

Anjie, who would normally be furious if she messed with Leon, crossed her arms and revealed her feelings to Noelle.

"It doesn't make me feel good, but go ahead. If you can get Leon, I'd rather say go for it.”

"… Wha… what? Are you saying you don’t think I can do it?” Provoked and annoyed, Noelle spoke sharply.

"If you underestimate me too much, I'll be Leon's number 1." There are only a few months left, but they'll be in big trouble if they relax.

Livia clasped her hands and smiled. However, her eyes were not smiling.

-Do as you like. If you think you can get Leon with that attitude, we would have no problem. Yes, really.

In the midst of that, Livia seemed a bit tired remembering something. The same thing happened with Anjie.

"That idiot… he was atrocious last night."

◇

It happened last night.

About to return to the kingdom the next day, Anjie and Livia visited Leon's room on their last night.

They wanted to sleep in the same bed as Leon.

Leon is also a man, and naturally he was driven by sexual desire… "W- Wait." Which one should I touch first?

The two of them pretended to be asleep and watched Leon.

Anjie, Leon has his hands on your head.

This Leon, did we get here and he's not going to touch us?

He stared for a while, but Leon stayed still.

"W-Which one should I start with?" Anjie? Livia? No, first of all, this situation is strange, right? They both trusted me to come to my room, putting my hands on top of them would be bad, right ?!

This is what Leon concluded to.

"I think it would be bad if I put a hand on them here." If that is. This does not mean that I am incompetent or something, I am a gentleman. Yes, I am a gentleman, so I will honestly go to sleep. Luxon!

When he whispered to Luxon, he handed Leon a sleep aid. [You are truly incompetent]

-Shut up. I protected my image from the both of them. I can't sleep like this, so I'll take my sleep medicine.

[Drink fast and sleep.] "What an agile mind."

[I knew from the beginning that this would happen. He was as incompetent as I expected him to be. I hope you get a little disappointed.]

"I'm the type of man who is never disappointed."

Just like that, Leon took the medicine and lay down on the bed to sleep. When Anjie and Livia got up, Luxon called out to them.

[Unfortunately, Master's incompetence was not corrected by studying abroad.]

◇

Noelle heard the story and felt a little sorry for both of them."Leon… isn't that horrible?"

But it would be a dilemma if they appeared together.

At the same time, she wondered about Anjie and Livia's actions. The problem was that they both did not realize that.

"You should have created a better environment." "What will we do now Anjie?"

Noelle thought.

Why not visit the room one by one? This is going to be difficult for Leon.

It felt out of place somehow.

A young lady and a girl of pure innocence. She could see that combination.

Anjie brought her attention back to Noelle and gave her a complex look.

"Well, it's like an impregnable castle. If you can breach it, do what you want.

-… I don't think it's normal to instigate a woman to get ahead of her fiancé. Livia laughed.

"Yes, that is true. But at that moment, when I also connected with you, we talked about it together. If anyone else could do it, it was you, Noelle.”

Noelle was stunned.

"I'm not going to touch a man with a fiancee!" But Anjie seemed to see right through her.

"Then go ahead and find another one. But I don’t think it’s possible when deep down, you only think of him.”

Noelle regretted the mental connection she had made with them.

It's not really funny that they saw the whole thing.

Anjie said it was time to go and tried to get onto Licorn.

"Well, I was joking about conquering Leon. You have to find your own way. But don't forget it.”

Noelle looked down with her hands in her pockets.

-I know. There are a lot of people who want me, right?

-Yes. If you come to the kingdom, we can help you. But not anywhere else.

Livia was also worried about Noelle.

"If you need anything, you can count on Leon. He's too reckless, but I'm sure he can help you.”

Noelle, who had already been helped many times, smiled.

-I know.

Once the two of them made their way over to where Leon was, they boarded Licorn.

◇

Anjie and Livia had returned to the kingdom.

And when I got back to the mansion, I saw Marie crying at the door."They don't really mature, do they?"

I was surprised, but now Marie is bawling since quite some ago. She was shedding tears.

-Its not true! I don’t believe it!

It was Jilk who was dismayed to see Marie."Try to control yourself, Marie."

However, right beside Jilk and Marie… there was a pile of antiques that did not sell. Marie looked up and yelled at Jilk.

"Don't say thaaaaaaaat!"

-I'm sorry!

I saw a pile of antiques… or a pile of junk that looked real, but was all fake. Luxon looked at them and was impressed.

[Everything is fake. I'm surprised that so far you can only collect fakes.

The Master must have spent a lot of money to collect them, but with all these purchases, it would be nice to have one or two real antiques.]

Yes, they are all well made fakes.

Jilk had an excuse, and said that they were all a masterpiece.

"While choosing my merchandise, I couldn't help but imagine Marie's face and I couldn't help but choose what to sell to others."

If he chose seriously for Marie's sake, all that would come out were well- made fakes. I wonder what Marie would think if she said that.

"You damn fool! What is that? You're saying that these fake things are suitable for a woman like me, right? You, I already told you before, right?

You can send something that the person will be happy with! Hey, what's the point in giving me falsehoods to make me happy as a cheap woman?!”

Jilk couldn't find an answer when Marie got up and grabbed him by the neck. I was laughing with Luxon.

This was more because Marie herself is a fake saint.

[Master, I can hear you. But even so, if you only take fake products like this, you will feel that kind of intention. Was it deliberate?]

Marie burst into tears again.

-What will we do!? I have spent all my money. How am I going to live now? I thought it was okay for Jilk to take all the money! I was going to keep half of the winningggggsssss !!

This garbage … no, Jilk had apparently taken all the money on his own. He is still the same as rubbish.

The problem is with Marie.

Surprisingly, Marie did not like to gamble, but in this case she thought it was a good deal and invested in it.

To those around her, however, it seems like a gamble."You have what you deserve."

[Why don't you learn to manage your money?] Marie looked up and held onto my leg.

-I need help. I just need money to live for the next three months!

-Do not bother! It's your fault for spending so much money.

"I didn't think this would happen! Also, I didn't think this guy was going to take all my money!” As he made a noise at the front door, the five idiots, plus Jilk, came out.

"Marie, what is happening !?

When Julian, on behalf of the group, asked what was going on, the four of them looked at the scrap heap, followed by a cold glance at Jilk.

Julian responded as if he were going to spit."I'm ashamed to be your brother."

Brad also adjusted his bangs and said a few harsh words."I didn't think this guy had an eye for this from the start." Greg spat a few words too.

"I won't let you make Marie cry."

Chris's glasses were glowing suspiciously.

-Human waste.

Jilk was dragged by the four idiots to the backyard of the mansion. Marie looked up at the sky.

-Hahaha! Now I am free from the simple life, and it is the beginning of a life of poverty again! It was a short dream!

She had a tight smile with the pupils of her eyes losing their shine. It was a tough sight to see.

Then Cara appeared."Marie-sama, don't worry."

-But it was expensive?

"I've been saving my money. It's not much, but I thought we could survive a month with this.”

When Cara handed her the money, Marie was desperately trying to take advantage of it. I struggle to keep her extended right hand in place with my left.

"T-That's your money, Cara, so take it back."

-But!

-I said no! Hurry while I keep my sanity … I won't be able to keep it for long. Please Cara … Keep that money away from me. Don't make me see it.

"Marieeee-samaaaaaaa!"

It's like watching a sad scene of a person about to turn into a zombie saying to their friends, “Stop me! I don't want to attack them. Kill me while I'm still human! "

No, it's actually different. Completely different. A little later, Noelle returned to the mansion.

She was carrying a shopping bag in her hand, so she appears to have been shopping on the way home.

-I'm here! What happened to Marie and the others? And what is that pile of antiques? "Oh, this?" Actually…

I told Noelle what happened.

Then Noelle, understanding the situation, gave Marie an understanding look.

"Marie, I can give you some money." When I became the priestess, I got some money to live on. I'm in your debt and I can pay your rent or something.

Noelle's suggestion had made Marie cry."Rent … what a precious word."

Precious? I don't understand Marie's values.

"You and I get along well. You can count on me without fail.” "Thank you, Noelleeeeeeeeee!"

I started to think when I saw Marie hugging Noelle. Ah, this will be a problem if I do not lend you money.

◇

"I gave her that much money for summer vacation, but she melted brilliantly." It was night.

I was talking to Luxon about today's events in my room.

In the end, he remembered that I would loan Marie three months of living expenses. As it was, Cara was going to give all her money to Marie.

If Marie is the only one suffering, I can leave her alone, but I have no choice. I really had no choice but to lend her money.

And Noelle…

I had a feeling that if the loan of money kept happening between Marie and Noelle, it would eventually become a problem, so I stopped her.

Because money problems are a terrible thing. Friendship or not, that's easy to destroy.

I feel sorry for Marie's few friends, and I feel sorry for her for reducing them further. Because there are more bastards to feed than friends.

I'm starting to feel a little sorry for her.

You may feel a little sorry for Marie for having to take care of five such idiots. But I was laughing because it was fun to watch. [You really have a soft spot for Marie, don't you, Master?]

"It's not that easy. I hate her. But don't you think I can feel a little sympathy for her? You will continue to feed waste like Jilk.”

[As a third party, don’t you look like you’re somewhat picky?] "What do you mean, I'm a little fussy about my little sister?"

I do not know what that means. Is it a made up word or something? Do you think a younger sister is a bit of a target?

I do not get it.

[On the other hand, can I make a report of my findings?]

-… How did it go?

After the jokes, I decided to listen to Luxon's report. There were many questions this time.

[Now, I would like to talk about the decisions of the six families that have upset you. The fact is that they so readily accepted our reports.]

"That is a real mystery to me." Alberg-Sama made a move, but there was no resistance at all. Only the Faiviel resisted, right?

[Yes. Regarding that, it seems that the heads of the six great noble families knew that the Sacred Tree could be manipulated by a third party.]

-They knew it?

[I heard that there was a house that did such research in the past. It no longer exists.] "What do you mean?”

I have a bad feeling about this. I hate when this happens as my intuition is always correct.

"The one who has been investigating the use of the Sacred Tree is the Lespinasse family."

-You're lying. Is this a case where the Lespinasse family were working behind the scenes?

[That is not possible.]

-It is not?

But there are more things that I did not understand.

[The House of Lespinasse, in the days when they called themselves the Seven Great Nobles, was the representative house of the Republic.]

Was this house researching how to manipulate the Sacred Tree that is considered sacred in the Republic?

[I don't know the details of the situation, but I can deduce it up to a point. I have been told that, thanks to this, our claims were accepted without problems. Of course, we couldn't have done it without Alberg's cooperation.]

"Maybe I should bring him some candy to thank him tomorrow? … So what are you thinking?"

Gathering the information Luxon has been collecting, I had a bad feeling about this.

Alberg-Sama, who is supposed to be the last boss, is a nice guy, and Louise, the villain, is actually a nice person.

To make matters worse, there was the Lespinasse family who were making strange moves behind the scenes.

It was a huge difference from the setting of this second Otome game. [I guess from Marie and Lelia's stories, this story was wrong from the beginning.]

-The beginning?

[You said it would start with the first scene of the destruction of the House of Lespinasse.]

-Yes. The Raults destroyed it and the main character, Noelle, saw the mansion on fire … and they both said that's how it started.

And Luxon had previously said that was the problem.

It was impossible for the Lespinasse family, who had a higher blessing, to lose to the Rault family, who had only a lower blessing.

In fact, the blessings given by the Sacred Tree are classified.

Even if the lower ranks go against the higher ranks, they cannot win.

[After hearing Louise's story as well, I made a prediction. Didn't the Lespinasse family lose the blessing of the Sacred Tree long ago? That's why he didn't even attend the funeral of the Rault heir.]

-Why? They could at least show themselves … No, wait. There is something here. Was it a rule for a great person to wear their crest?

[Yes. At ceremonies and so forth, it was customary for the highest ranking person to display his crest to those around him.]

Such a thing existed in the rules of the Republic.

It was a day before classes started again. He was visiting the Rault castle.

I wanted to thank Alberg-Sama for everything and to know more about their situation.

"You went to the trouble of bringing me a box of candy." "It's like an apology for all the trouble I've caused you."

"An apology, huh? … you actually saved me so don't worry."

This is how I began to hear the latest news while speaking softly."Rumors are circulating that Serge is going to be fired. It is true?” "I can't say it's a silly rumor."

-Are you serious?

Alberg-Sama thought Serge hated them for this one incident.

"I think I've been treating Serge like a son, but I think it's been a burden to him. If that boy wants to be an adventurer, I'm willing to let him pursue that dream.”

"If you don't like him then do you dismiss him?"

"We accept him as an adopted child and we are responsible for him.

That child is, and will continue to be, part of our family. Although Louise will never accept it.

Observing their interactions in the large airship, it seems impossible to do something about it. How is it possible that they hate each other so much?

"Leon, you must see Louise. She is shy, but wants to see you.” At the request of Alberg-Sama, I went to see Louise.

◇

When I met with Louise, she was embarrassed.

More importantly, she had some scratches on the side of her face.

I heard she had a fight with Noelle, but it seems like they overdid it a bit."Don't look at me too much. It’s embarrassing.”

She seemed less concerned about the abomination she displayed in the sacrifice fiasco than about being seen hurt.

"I'm relieved to see you're in a good mood." "I've caused you a lot of trouble."

-Do not worry about it.

Marie has caused me so much more trouble, so Louise's still small when you think about it. She seemed to want to ask me something.

-What's going on?

"Leon … Hey, the answer to the question I asked you that time, how did you know?"

"The answer to your question?"

-Look! You guessed it was a save ticket when we were aboard Einhorn!

I thought you'd never guess. How did you know about it !? It's something only a child would think.

"A man is always a child at heart."

It is incredible that it is a coincidence.

"Don't lie! … Hey, Leon… you're not really my brother, are you?”

I suppose you wish it were so, but your Leon and I were almost born at the same time. It makes no sense that I am his reincarnation.

If he died and reincarnated once, he would be less than ten years old."No, I am not."

"Yes, of course not. I'm sorry. I do not know what is happening to me.”

"I just look like him. I'm not your brother, Louise. I'm sorry I tricked you at the time.” When I lowered my head, Louise had a complex look on her face.

"Just don't do that to me again."

"I wouldn't really like to do that either." I'm tired of pretending to be someone else. I had to get information from Louise and Alberg-Sama to pretend to be Leon. I felt like a villain.

It was really heartbreaking.

-… Hey, just for once. Can I hug you?

"It will be a pleasure to be hugged by a beautiful woman!" Yes, please.

Wow ~ I did it ~! … I was happy to show it to her, but Louise is looking at Leon, not at me. She wants to hug her brother, and she doesn't look at me personally.

When Louise hugged me, she was crying.

-I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

Right now, I was about to call her Onee-chan… but then I stopped.

I thought it would ruin the mood if I said so, so I stopped just for her to hold onto on my body.

But it's just that.

It's a good thing, I think.

I could feel Louise's gentle touch, but I tried my best not to look sloppy and held back.

"Leon, I'm sorry." Your sister is sorry for having caused so much trouble

… Thinking about that, seeing Louise really apologize … I regretted it.

It made me remember that I am a lustful and shameful person at a time like this. Oh my heart aches.

But when I looked out the window … I saw Luxon. His red lens was looking at me.

I couldn't stop Louise crying, and I think I had a tight expression on my face, because I was too afraid to speak.

Luxon saw me and sent me a message so that only I can hear it.

[You are hopeless, Master, but I didn't think you would cheat in a short period of time. But I guess my prediction was wrong. Sorry, Master.]

Wait. Please wait!

◇

Livia gazed out at the landscape as the kingdom engulfed in flames. The royal capital had been turned to rubble and the area was on fire. The fallen did not move.

-…What is this?

Livia was stunned at the sight.

Large aircraft were floating in the night sky.

They were the drones that Luxon often used to destroy the royal capital.

Machines that ruthlessly repeated their destructive actions. Livia found it a very terrifying sight.

As she shuddered, she heard a voice."Your Highness Julian!"

She heard a voice that sounded familiar, it was Julian, who suffered under the rubble of the tiles.

She ran up to him and tried to help him, but Julian was acting strange." Livia, run!”

-Hey?

Why are you calling me by my nickname?

Also, Julian's atmosphere seemed somewhat different."U-Uhm."

"Luxon has betrayed us! H-He brought his companions …!” Julian, spitting blood from his mouth, couldn't speak anymore.

Luxon betrayed them --- Hearing it, Livia shook her head, saying it was impossible.

-Lie. That is not possible. Because, Luc … It happened then.

She felt someone staring at her and turned to see Luxon there.

He was dragging a large number of drones with him, and some of them threw something in front of Livia. What fell in front of Livia, was Jilk and the other four.

"W-why?"

Looking at all four, it was easy to imagine that they were already dead. Livia asked Luxon, scared.

"Did you do this, Luc?"

There was also something different here. Luxon's reaction was different than usual.

His voice was cold and he seemed to be a different person, even if it was the same voice.

[Luc? Is that my nickname? What do you think you are doing by calling me with a nickname? On that, do you want me to answer your question? -

--

I did. They, the royal capital - and this country will perish today.]

"W-why? Why would you do that!? Leon will never forgive you for this. Leon will be angry --- and sad.”

If Luxon did this, there was no way Leon would stay still. And yet Luxon …

["Leon"? There must have been some students of the same name among the students at the academy, but it should have nothing to do with you and me. Or are you confused?]

----Why? It's Leon. Leon Fou Baltfault! He is your Master, Luc! [I can't find a match. Who is that?]

--- Even when he heard Leon's name, his reaction was boring. On the contrary, he said something incredible to Livia.

[My Master is you. No, I need to correct that."It was you".] Luxon, reformulating in past tense, continued.

[You have been a great help. So let me show you the moment when the world of the new humanity is destroyed. Will you be happy with it? After all, it is the future you wanted.]

-What are you talking about?

He couldn't believe she wanted that view. It looked like --- hell.

[Now you regret it? A saint who has caused so much pain and suffering

--- no, she sounds more like a witch.]

"D-Did I hurt a lot of people? And who?”

[You were the one who toppled and led Anjelica to her death. Many other humans have also died for you.]

"N-It can't be." I can't believe I killed Anjie. [Really, what happened to him?]

Livia held her head.

What the hell is going on?

I do not know. I do not get it.

[She's confused, isn't she? --- It was her wish to destroy this country. That I have fulfilled. So, now is the time to fulfill what you wanted.] Livia shook her head.

-No. I am not Luc's Master. Your master is Leon. And, there is no way you can do this.

[You are saying something selfish. I always wanted --- to destroy you, the new humanity!] Then --- Ideal appeared.

[ Luxon, how long do you want me to wait? ]

[What's up, Ideal?]

[ It's taking too long. We are way behind our original plan. ] [I think I made you wait too long.]

[ Let's hurry. Our goal is almost complete. We will return this world --- to the way it belongs. ]

Ideal and his seemingly close companion Luxon headed for the sky. Livia stopped Luxon.

-Wait. Wait, Luc! This is not OK! There's no way Leon will approve of this! Luxon reacted to Leon's name, but then he left.

Looking at the sky, several huge airships were floating there. They attacked the royal city and destroyed everything.

Livia was terrified by the appearance of that sight.

◇

"Luc, wait!"

Livia jumped up and had a racing pulse. She was out of breath and sweating.

Looking to her side, Anjie was resting quietly.

She thought it had all been a dream, so she felt relieved and caressed her chest. However, it was too real to be a dream.

It was so realistic that it was as if she had actually experienced it."Do I want a future like this?" ---That's impossible.

However, when he saw Luxon bringing the world down together with Ideal, she thought somewhere that something like that might be possible."That was a dream." So I shouldn't worry about that.

Livia was telling herself.

◇

Republic of Alzer.

At Emile's mansion, Lelia was preparing her dress.

She changed into her uniform and had complained since the morning."After all, I couldn't talk to Leon and everyone else."

[ It can't be helped. It is also convenient there. ] "They don't speak of anything good!"

This side should be more important

Despite having to talk about the future of the Republic, both Leon and Marie were busy before the new semester.

Thanks to that, she didn't have a chance to talk to any of them. Lelia asked Ideal while checking the contents of her purse."Beyond that, did you manage to find Serge's whereabouts?"

[ I am currently looking into it. Apparently, he's hiding --- ] "Haa !? You said you would find it immediately!”

[ Sorry ]

Lelia continued to adopt a tough attitude towards Ideal's incompetence.

"You are more useless than I thought. You said you would find it immediately. Liar. Then Ideal's voice, who had been keeping a low profile until then, changed.”

[ --- Correct that ]

-What thing?

[ Correct the word liar ] "Ah?" A liar is a liar.

[Please correct that. I'm not a liar. I ask for a correction. ]

Facing Ideal's atmosphere, which was different than usual, Lelia thought this was bad and apologized.

"O-Okay. I was only worried about Serge.”

[ --- No, I also showed a rude attitude. I'll search right away, so please give me a little more time. ]

"H-Hurry up."

[--- Understood. ]

While Lelia headed to the academy, Ideal came to an unused warehouse. There was Serge, who had a very pretty appearance.

[ How are you today, Serge-Sama? ] Ideal already knew where Serge was.

----Of the worst. What about the boys?

[ If you're talking about the people from the Holy Kingdom of Rachelle, they'll be arriving soon. ]

Ideal said that, then the warehouse blinds were opened and men in suits arrived.

They were people from the Holy Kingdom of Rachelle, who had hostility towards the kingdom of Holfault.

'It's been a while, Serge.

----It is so…

Serge stood up and discussed the future with them. A man in a suit shook Serge's hand.

"That Foreign Knight of the Realm is very skilled. We are in serious trouble with that young man. It is a source of anxiety for the future.”

"Enough of the talk. Do you lend me your strength or not? --- Be clear.” The man in the suit shrugged.

"If Serge becomes the owner of Rault House, can he also offer a reward to Rachelle in exchange?"

Serge nodded.

-As you like.

"I was relieved to hear that. Let's protect the Republic from the demonic hands of the Foreign Knight!”

To Rachelle's population, Leon was a troublesome kingdom-born hero. So he didn't hesitate to team up with Serge to defeat Leon.

Serge's target was also Leon.

—Ideal ── Prepare my armor. It is a special order. Like that guy riding Arroganz, prepare an armor that has no match.

Everything was to win against Leon.

To get revenge on Leon who didn't get beat up like he should. Ideal nodded.

[We will prepare the best aircraft ]

◇

On the night of that day.

Luxon and Ideal faced each other in an unpopular place. [I asked for an explanation]

[ An explanation? About what? ]

Ideal was towards the mysterious while Luxon asked for an explanation.

[On the case of Louise's sacrifice. Ideal, you were against this, right? I found the trace that you helped Serge, saying that you would not supply the forces.]

Ideal apologizes.

[It was inevitable when Serge-Sama ordered it. Instead, I stopped by to help. We do not send drones as a force. ]

[Why did you interfere in our way?]

[ Because I believed that you could solve that difficulty by yourself. ] Luxon was suspicious of Ideal.

Ideal felt that too and asked Luxon.

[ Luxon --- Do you think this world is correct? ] [What do you mean by correct?]

[ No, it's okay for now. I apologize for the interference. But they weren't supposed to fight hard to that point. ]

We certainly fought hard to rescue Louise.

If it wasn't for that, they wouldn't have gotten involved in this matter in the first place.

[I would like you to let me know in advance next time.]

[ --- Yes, I will. ]

[Then, now I will return.]

Ideal stopped Luxon as he was leaving. [ Ah, Luxon ]

[What?]

[ Luxon --- Are you willing to work with me? ] Ideal invited Luxon to make him his partner.
