Group task (1)

Short-term vacation that felt like a long time is almost over.

I had become a junkie.

The reason, without question, was the Summoned Summoning Day event.

My body and mind were exhausted to the extent that I would rather be in school.

Medushana, who dragged me around all day, and Persia, who rolled around in the grass, were able to endure it, but…

The wounds that Ethel and Laurie left behind seemed to never be erased for the rest of their lives.

Trying on the ambitious collections they had gathered was hardly a hit.

However, everything will eventually pass.

After a simple breakfast, I was again standing in front of the gravestones of my parents.

I always thought my father died of tuberculosis, but…

In fact, there is a high probability that he died due to the aftereffects of the Demon King’s summoning.

Of course, you can’t blame the Demon King for that.

He is a summoned beast equal to Essha.

Our world is at the bottom of the dimension, but it is by no means easy to summon such a being.

Originally, skilled summoners had to stick together in groups of dozens, so they had to prepare for at least a month.

But it seems that my father hastily prepared a summons as soon as I was born still…

The success of the summoning itself is a miracle.

The fact that the Father did not die immediately should be regarded as the mercy of heaven.

Having barely revived some of the vague memories of my childhood, I bowed once more and returned to the original state.

In the living room and drawing room, Medusha, who woke up a little later than me, was making Ahh using Persia.

While I was thinking about having a cup of tea too, Elena, who was always waking up early, secretly blinked on the sofa.

It’s a lot more comfortable than when I first came, so it’s nice to see.

“El Cloud Bag… No, Louise. Is it okay for a moment?”

As she approached while watching her struggling with an unfamiliar title, she asked carefully, paying attention to the vassals and summoned beasts.

“I… If you don’t mind, I’ll also celebrate Summoned Beast Day…”

“Ah, yes. There’s nothing wrong with that.”

I smiled hard, hiding my face that was about to harden.

I’m going to go back to the capital tomorrow, so I was going to take a good rest today, but I think I’m exhausted.

Still, since it was the first request since Elena entrusted me with it, I couldn’t resist refusing it.

We are going to be together for a while, but if we refuse from the beginning, we will not be able to talk comfortably.

Overjoyed at my permission, she quickly made fun of me and laid me down on the sofa.

This is a pose with her head on her knees.

I got used to it thanks to Maria, but I’m still ashamed.

But apart from my mind, my body was able to release tension on its own.

It’s too nice of a touch to be hardened like that.

Elena, who had just summoned something, gently rubbed her hands.

I can’t see what I’m doing because of my posture.

The feeling of sticking to the face in the middle of hardening the spine.

Elena began to apply a thin layer of the slightly viscous liquid.

It was warmed by her body temperature, so it wasn’t cold, but it felt strange.

Still, I kept quiet because I thought he might do something bad to me.

As if it was funny that I was stiff, Elena, who smiled a little, added an explanation belatedly.

“It’s a skin care gel. Lewis has very good skin, but there’s nothing wrong with taking care of it beforehand.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“No words. I only got this from Lewis, so even this…”

It was Summoned Summoner’s Day, so I thought he was going to get something, but it was the one who did something.

Then Elena started rubbing my face every nook and cranny.

A touch of some kind of professionalism.

Everywhere your fingertips touch, your power is released.

‘Where else did you learn this?’

As I was thinking about that, I clicked my tongue.

Actually, isn’t it a bit obvious?

From the looks of it, it seems that Esshas’ skin care is also a skill he should have as heir to the throne.

Thanks to this, it made me feel a little uncomfortable, but Elena had a serious and joyful expression.

I was keeping silence because I didn’t want to say anything stupid.

The maid’s voice came from the corner of the living room.

It looks like she’s teaching the children she brought in last time.

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Just like he taught Sylvia before, he is directly educating future vassals.

After the fall of our family. Whether it is a person or a thing, if it does not exist, the maid’s motto has become to make it herself.

She had the power and time to do that.

This building is a bit small for a count-level mansion, so her voice can be heard clearly.

Of course, the study on the second floor is sealed… but it is full of our family’s secrets.

Therefore, it is not a place where you can go in and out with small children on a daily basis.

Inevitably, the maid, who had to conduct the education in the living room, continued her confident voice as if to shake off the chaotic atmosphere.

“Then let’s start today’s education. You will be in charge of taking care of the Lord during the golden age of the Earl of El Cloud to come soon. Everything you eat, drink, and wear is what the Earl has given you, so you must repay the favor. . Do you know?”

“yes!”

“All right.”

The children reacted quite vigorously because I was listening.

Thanks to you, my face got hot.

Elena, who was continuing the massage from above, also had a faint smile on her face.

But I couldn’t help but laugh because I was roughly anticipating what would follow.

The handmaiden enters the curriculum with familiar content whether I do it or not.

“The Counts of Elcloud are the whole kingdom… No, they are the best and best family in the world. They are second to none compared to any other family. This can be proven scientifically.”

“Yes?”

Elfriede, who was sipping green tea next to her, noticed a suspicious look and tilted her head…

It’s only natural to claim that your family is the most superior.

But the maid’s education goes one step further.

“Charlotte. Tell me about the White House.”

“Yes! The White family is a guard dog family guarding the northern border. It is a cold and barren land, so it is difficult to grow crops. Ice-type pets are a little famous, but compared to our family, they are nothing compared to ours!”

“Eh…”

I’m glad I didn’t bring Christine and Maria this vacation.

As I was thinking about it, Elena from above swallowed her astonishment.

On the other hand, Sylvia is nodding her head vigorously.

The summons who overheard the training process, just like me, grinned.

“Yes. Even if there are a lot of usable ice-type summons, they can’t compete in front of Laurier-sama. Michelle. What about the Collingwood family?”

“A rich man who thrived thanks to the spirit stone mine! If it wasn’t for the help of our lord, the place would have already been ruined. It’s not worth remembering in particular.”

Collingwood is regarded as the weakest among the great families, so it has a particularly low rating.

As Elfriede, whose mother was Collingwood, had her eyes closed, the maid again pointed to the girl with a very satisfied look on her face.

“Westwall!”

“She is the mother of our headmaster, but a traitor who turned away and spread rumors during the most difficult times of the family! Use it in moderation, but don’t trust it. Miss Maria seemed like a very nice person…”

Charlotte, who remembered Christine and Maria who had visited last vacation, added a small addition, but stopped talking at the bitter glance of the handmaiden.

Fortunately, the Duke of Beltern has Medusha and Elfriede, and they have a good reputation because they have been helped recently.

“Finally, Beltern.”

“The wealthiest family in the kingdom, but they will soon be overtaken by us! But until then, it’s good to stay friendly.”

“Yeah. You must have that level of ambition.”

While Medusha grinned, the handmaiden finished the ideological education of the prospective vassals.

“Yes. It is the only future for El Cloud to surpass them all and occupy the top spot! It is the way to promise a bright tomorrow for our kingdom.”

“Yes, maid!”

“Glory to the Count of El Cloud, the most prestigious noble of the dimension!”

When the children’s exaggerated reactions were over, everyone in the living room came out and stared at Sylvia.

As we were silently avoiding our gaze, Elfriede muttered in a shaky voice.

“Lou, Lewis and Sylvia were very neutral, weren’t they?”

“Yeah. If you have thick hair, you can filter it properly.”

“Elfriede Welttern! It is an honor for us to feed you!”

“You know!”

As Medusha jokingly spoke, Persia chanted it cheerfully.

Elena seemed curious about the evaluation of the royal family, but is convinced that it is better not to listen.

After spending the last day in a noisy and relaxed atmosphere, we returned to the capital immediately.

As I headed to the city to catch the train, I saw the outline of the Count’s castle under construction on the hill.

Much faster progress than expected.

They are also professional architectural summoners.

Unusually, we boarded the train with greetings from the vassals who followed us to the station.

Charlotte and Michelle, holding Uncle Henry’s hand, saluted from the window.

We, who had been waving our hands vigorously with a burdened heart, were only able to relax after the horn sounded.

After enjoying the short train journey, when we got off the train, a completely different atmosphere greeted us.

There is no change in the platform overflowing with people, but as soon as everyone sees us, we distance ourselves from each other.

While Persia showed a puzzled face. Medusha smiles.

“Huh? Why are you all…”

“Don’t worry about it. This is normal. Do you need a moderate amount of awe to enter the ranks of the great family?”

“Ugh.”

Is it the influence of the territorial battle during the short vacation?

Of the five families that were defeated by me, of course, some sent their children to the academy.

I decided not to pay too much attention to Medusha’s advice.

I didn’t do anything I couldn’t. Didn’t he just accept the fight that came first?

Returning to the villa soon, we unpacked our little luggage and prepared for tomorrow’s school.

Since Elena can’t keep up with the academy, she plans to stay with the housemaid at the villa for the time being.

After spending the last few days leisurely, we went to school the next day with the waitress and Elena seeing them off.

In fact, even during the short vacation, I had a feeling that it was a bit boring… But as soon as I entered the academy, I missed that boredom.

Students’ suffering overflows in the autumn campus.

“The first lesson was… Was it Summoning Theory?”

“It’s a theory class, so it shouldn’t be anything special. Let’s finish it roughly and go see Maria and Christine.”

So that Medusha’s curious muttering was overshadowed.

Theory Summoning Professor came up with an unexpected challenge as soon as the short vacation was over.

We, who had expected a report at best, were stunned by the unfamiliar format of the assignment.

“This task is done in groups. I will hand out the team myself.”

“Joe, the task for each group?”

“Why all of a sudden…”

Facing the students’ astringent reaction, the professor grinned.

“Once you go out into society, of course, you have to collaborate with others. For this assignment, all team members are given the same evaluation points.

“Kek…”

The students were stunned by the blatant advice, and the professor immediately began splitting teams.

I think it’s just called in the order of attendance…

Fortunately, I teamed up with Elfriede.

Sylvia, who was on a different team from me, had a very dissatisfied expression on her face, but she couldn’t help but say it.

One team is a total of 6 people.

Elfriede, who took the seat next to me, stares at the other four.

A gaze filled with thoughts, ‘What should I say?’

Soon, students from the Duchy of Beltern set out on their own.

The other two were speechless.

“It’s an honor to be part of Princess Elfriede…”

“The two of you just rest. We’ll take care of this.”

“I’m really okay?”

I restrained them with a very uneasy feeling.

This group assignment is not easy.

The professor of theory summons not only submitted a report on a free topic, but also asked for the results achieved by applying the theory.

I wonder if it is okay to pass it on to someone else in a situation where even if six new students put their heads together and cooperate, it will not be enough.

However, Elfriede nodded her head coldly, as if she had no intention of missing out on the opportunity that had come for her.

“Yeah. Can you do it on your own? We’ll just check it later.”

“Yes. If you take a look at it later…”

“…”

The other two students looked very uncomfortable, but Elfriede quickly left the classroom.

I moved to the club room, suppressing the growing anxiety.
