Hillclimb, a royal A-class summoner, and his sister Yeuglena.
Once contenders for the throne of the Asgard Kingdom, their positions were usurped by Zenobect, a B-class summoner (though he didn’t think he’d taken it; the predecessor named Zenobect as the successor). Now, the two were ruling a remote territory.
However, they were in a town near the Asgard Kingdom.
They had booked an entire luxury inn and were enjoying tea in the lounge.
ㅤ
“Well, it’s about time. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Hillclimb sets down his cup of tea.
Currently, at forty years old, not only is he a skilled summoner, but he also possesses leadership qualities. With sharp intellect and a good physique, he looks as young as someone in their late twenties.
However, Hillclimb is a believer in class supremacy. He doesn’t consider those of a lower class as equals and discriminates against them without hesitation.
Hillclimb speaks to the woman sitting across from him, Yeuglena.
ㅤ
“Sister, it looks like we can handle the matter with the S-class summoner. It was a bit of a stretch, but we’ve framed the S-class summoner as a criminal. By making him take responsibility and abolishing his rank, we can also make Zenobect accountable. Haha, it proves that power isn’t the only measure of strength.”
“Yes. . . . . .We were able to utilize Oswald quite effectively. We should thank him, shouldn’t we?”
ㅤ
Yeuglena smiles sweetly.
A woman in her mid-forties wearing a flashy dress based on purple, but she looks like she’s in her late twenties. They are a youthful-looking pair of siblings.
The matter they discussed was regarding the S-class summoner.
ㅤ
“Really, Meteore-sama has done unnecessary things. . . . . .Because of him creating this S-class rank, we have to go through all this trouble. It’s obvious that A-class should be the highest.”
“Exactly. And Zenobect is so incompetent. . . . . .Just because he defeated a demon? Just because it was an unknown Parasitic type? Introducing an unprecedented rank like S-class in the history of summoners shouldn’t have happened.”
“Absolutely. We’ll make sure Zenobect takes responsibility for this.”
ㅤ
Everything was orchestrated by these two.
Due to their covert support towards the newspaper company, assisting Oswald in filing a lawsuit, and backing Esterize and the Student Council, they managed to downgrade the S-class and elevate the A-class.
Naturally, they were updated with the affairs of the Asgard Kingdom.
ㅤ
“What’s left is. . . . . .”
“Yes, just Zenobect.”
“Before that, we need to decide.”
“Indeed, sister.”
ㅤ
A powerful aura from both A-class summoners collides in the space between them.
Their plan: abolish the S-class and dethrone Zenobect.
Then, either of the two will rule over the Asgard Kingdom.
Even though they have a tense relationship, they had teamed up for a common goal.
Suddenly, an emissary soldier enters the lounge.
ㅤ
“Excuse me, Hillclimb-sama, Yeuglena-sama. I have brought a letter for you.”
“A letter. . . . . .Hehe, is it good news?”
“Sister, let’s discuss this later.”
ㅤ
Hillclimb takes the letter and pulls out a parchment with the royal seal.
Then━━his eyes widen in shock.
ㅤ
“━━What?!”
“What’s written?”
“. . . . . .This isn’t good, sister.”
“What?”
ㅤ
Yeuglena, taking the letter, finds a short sentence written on it.
ㅤ
“Enjoy the 『masquerade ball』━━if you don’t want its meaning known, withdraw from S-rank. Yorha.”
ㅤ
Yeuglena’s complexion changed.
“Why does Yorha know about this?”
Hillclimb sweated coldly and bit his nails.
ㅤ
“Yorha. Daughter of Zenobect. And. . . . . .that woman’s daughter? Why do you know this?!”
“. . . . . .”
“Sister, this is bad. . . . . .they know about the 『masquerade ball』.”
“. . . . . .We have no choice but to retreat.”
“What?”
“We’ll temporarily step back from the S-rank. The Oswald matter and the support from the A-rank summoners will also be paused. This is troubling. . . . . .Wait, the support will continue. Let’s channel it through various contacts. Hillclimb, prepare a letter.”
“Ah, yes. . . . . .damn, why does Yorha. . . . . .Damn that little girl!!”
ㅤ
Yeuglena opened the lounge door and had the waiting maid prepare a letter.
Oswald’s complaint was withdrawn, and Albero’s sins were erased.
It wasn’t like everything returned to normal. However, with Yorha’s actions, Hillclimb and Yeuglena will be on high alert.
