Esterize was swamped with work in the Student Council Room.
There was so much to do, with hardly any time to rest. Although she gained recognition and reward as the commander of demon subjugation, the impact of Oswald’s arrest was even stronger. Being an A-class supervisor, Esterize also had to endure the humiliation of an interrogation.
Esterize sighed lightly and stretched her back.
ㅤ
“Hmm. . . . . .sigh.”
ㅤ
She rubbed her eyes, tucked her long black hair behind her ear, and blinked several times.
Although it was just a small comfort, she felt slightly less tired.
Then, Rashild entered the Student Council Room.
ㅤ
“Sister, Sister!! This is bad!”
“What’s with the noise. . . . . .What is it?”
“Ah, that guy. . . . . .Albero, he’s getting a noble title as a reward!! And lands too!!”
“. . . . . .What?”
“It’s the talk of the academy. They say Albero earned land and a title due to his demon subjugation achievements. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Rashild was out of breath.
The news was clearly shocking. It wasn’t an accomplishment of the Rushout family, but a feat Albero achieved himself. Such a reward was invaluable, even with vast sums of money.
ㅤ
“Hmph. Even if he gets land, I bet it’s just some remote area given by the princess. Our Rushout family holds a higher title as Margrave. Besides, think about it. . . . . .Albero is still a minor. He can’t break away from the protection of the Rushout family. Plus, you can only accept a title after turning eighteen.”
“Right. . . . . .Damn it, that brat getting a title?”
ㅤ
Indeed, the Rushout family was of the Count rank, overseeing a vast territory as Margrave.
But only their father, Fragarach, held the title. Esterize and Rashild were merely known as the eldest daughter and the second son, respectively.
Esterize would eventually inherit the Rushout family and its title. But Rashild would never get one. In relation to Albero, Rashild was inferior.
Depending on his behavior towards Albero, Rashild might be accused of disrespect. Being a noble, Rashild was well aware of this.
Esterize said to Rashild,
ㅤ
“Don’t fret. He probably won’t associate with the Rushout family anymore. But as long as he’s linked to our name, we can still claim his achievements. Hmph. . . . . .We’ll use him to our advantage.”
“Yeah, right!”
ㅤ
Rashild seemed pleased for some reason.
Then, Esterize added,
ㅤ
“Rashild. You’ve become quite strong. How about taking the A-Class Summoner promotion exam soon? I’ll recommend you.”
“Me? An A-class?!”
“Yes. You have that level of strength now.”
“. . . . . .I’ll do it!! Sister, I’m in!”
“Understood. I’ll make the recommendation.”
ㅤ
At this point, Rashild’s expression clouded slightly.
ㅤ
“Um, sister. . . . . .about Teacher Oswald.”
“. . . . . .Forget about that already.”
“Okay. Then who will be our new supervising teacher?”
“No need to worry about that. The next supervisor is a big deal. . . . . .Hmph, Princess Yorha. She won’t have her way this time.”
“?”
ㅤ
Rashild tilted his head in confusion.
Esterize had documents on the new teacher supervising the A-class.
The names written there were of two people.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
“. . . . . .What do you mean? Otou-sama.”
ㅤ
At dinner time.
Yorha had heard an unbelievable story from her father, King Zenovect.
ㅤ
“As you’ve heard, Oswald has been arrested, and there seems to be a lot of evidence of misconduct. So, I’ve decided to appoint two A-class supervisor teachers.”
“I’ve heard about that. Those two. . . . . .may I hear their names once more?”
“?. . . . . .You know them, don’t you? My elder brother and sister, Hill Climb and Euglena.”
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Yorha felt like holding her head in dismay.
Hill Climb, Euglena. Those names. . . . . .were of her father Zenovect’s brother and sister, the former royal candidates. And only Yorha knew, they were also the leaders of the class supremacy organization, 『Masquerade Ball』.
Those two, as A-class supervisor teachers?. . . . . .It was a headache for Yorha.
Her father was truly a naive good person. No, a hypocrite.
ㅤ
“Tomorrow, the A-Class Summoners will be invited to the royal castle for greetings. It will be reassuring if my elder sister and brother supervise them.”
“. . . . . .hahaha.”
ㅤ
A dry laugh unintentionally escaped from her.
She said, knowing it was futile.
ㅤ
“Otou-sama. Is it impossible to change those appointments?”
“Hmm? What are you saying?”
“. . . . . .nevermind.”
ㅤ
It was hopeless.
Then, her silent brother Sanbalt wore a pleasant smile.
ㅤ
“Uncle and Aunt as supervisor teachers. . . . . .I can’t let my guard down.”
“Hmm? Sanbalt, were you relaxed during Oswald’s time?”
“Ahaha. I’m just kidding, father.”
“I see, I see. Hahahaha.”
“Ahahahah.”
“. . . . . .haha.”
ㅤ
Facing her blissfully ignorant brother and father, Yorha wore a dry smile.
