"Well now, that really was a splendid contest"

"Yeah, I never thought it would be that extre the beauty contest that had just co

"Those poses they struck in that last self-appeal session were nice I never thought Izumi would make such a pose, but in the end, Millia won hands down"

Right, it ended as Millia's landslide victory

To the end of the end, the tension born fro her self-appeal session, she bit her tongue, and as shecloth wrapped around her waist

By treading on that cloth, not only was it re her pose one where she covered her chest with her hands On its severity, she monopolized the votes of the male student body and won

By the way, the runner-up was Fina, and following on froet that scene!"

Through his armor, Aleist clenched his fist victoriously But as the beauty contest was over, of course, his fiancés had descended the stage

Having changed fro dark se location at once, going off to search for Rudel and Izumi From behind, they could hear Aleist's screams

"Eh? No way! You were in it too? … That was a joke! I'ht as Aleist cried out, the two of the side by side

◇

'Following on, it's confession tiot a spot of drink, everyone ants to use this last chance at the academy to confess to the one they admire, raise your hands!!'

The mc was enthusiastic, but the hall wasn't quite on board Even if you asked the

In the first place, an extent of the students already had partners If they were nobles, they'd have engagements, and based on the person, there were even some hile students, surrounded themselves with numerous women

First on that list were Aleist and Eunius

The hall was enveloped in a dubious air, and there were only a few students who took part, half for fun Within all that, soathered in a separate space

Starting with Fritz, they were students of the three-year curriculum

When it was decided Fritz would becouard, he had invited soathered with Fritz' followers

In that hall of dubious enthusias, Fritz? You're not taking part?"

One of his classested that he take part in this side show As captain of the royal guard, with ade, Fritz did have a certain level of popularity airls

Especially the students anted to rise fro nobles would often call out to him But Fritz had Aileen, so he couldn't participate in this sort of event

"No, I'd rather not becostock in a farce like this More iet it?"

While those around hied jokes, Fritz alone hadn't read theon frohts who dreamed of promotion forcefully sterned up their faces In truth, they at least wanted to enjoy their last days at the acaderoup with a dicey air fell on Rudel in his costu as they looked over the students confessing to boys in jest, and the students receiving those confessions not knowing they were jokes

Fritz instantly down the juice that filled the glass in his hands

"The noble-for-hobby who ignored the palace's orders to becon wodolance, Fritz' opinion wasn't correct, but it wasn't wrong either If someone who didn't know looked at Rudel and Izuined such a relationship

No ht of one another

"Hey, did Rudel really reject enlistuard? Is that really allowed?"

As a illed-looking one of his followersRudel, Fritz' expression changed

"We're dealing with a noble, and an archduke at that! You should know it isn't strange for the for the sake of this country"

On Fritz' opinion, everyone nodded

Even if he had an environment to learn, an environment to study, if he only looked at the inforthen his biased viewpoint

Laughing (?) with his friends, Fritz glared at Rudel But the two of thely similar

If Rudel didn't have anyone to believe in, there was a possibility he would fixate on becooon and ruin himself The difference hether they were able to accept others or not

Rudel who saw dreaoons, and Fritz who drearown so large it could no longer be filled in

"I' at Rudel who clung onto Izu use of the confession ti the nuame, Sophina appeared before Fina The two of the into preparations

"Princess, the preparations are coh knight"

"… I alad I was able to answer to your expectations (Even if you praiselike this, it doesn't ot a grasp of the characteristics of the other nus But that alone made her anxious, so she directed her face at Sophina

Dropping her shoulders, Sophina quietly nodded

◇

'Now that those confessions are behind us, it's finally tiaame it is, but we have Fina Courtois-sa with that! Don't be a stiff, and join in Now then, Fina-saside that enthusiastic introduction from the mc, Fina reservedly waved her hand as she walked to the center of the circle the students had uard

"It is my pleasure"

'And while I'd like to put rank aside, we can't start it off without our future archdukes!'

Being introduced, Rudel and the others stepped up as well As Fina was taking part, they had selected out earnest participants who could read the mood for the first round

While it was dubious whether or not Rudel could read thethe fact he was earnest But Aleist had been removed from the first round'slots from this box! We'll start off with Fina-sama'

As he said that, the student on duty held out the box of nus stuck on the ends of each stick, and the tags indicated their nuout one of the sticks, Fina discretely retrieved thewithout issue, she resolved herself

(Het this far, and I was one step froet master in my hands! If I fail here, it'll be a real pain later)

After Eunius and Luecke pulled nu his costuestures, Fina thought she would start drooling

(Quit it, Fina! That's just a fake fluffy I have to hold a stalwart heart… and yet, IRudel grasp a stick in both hands and pull it, Fina fought the urges within her head She thought her heart would be stolen by that cute appearance and bearing

But even so, she didn't let her guard down She sent a glance at Sophina, who silently sent the signal to her high knight subordinates One of the high knights stationed behind Rudel confirmed the number on Rudel's lot

For the sake of this day, she had stationed those with good eyes, even airls were being put to use in the king's ga~!!?'

As the hed inside that she had been waiting for this as she softly raised her hand Froirl

As she was doing that, Fina infor it, Fina couldn't stop her laughter within But as she directed her eyes at Rudel, she noticed a certain so

"Um, it looks like it'samiably with Luecke and Eunius, Rudel's outfit was cute, and there were no proble

"The sort of order she gives in the first round will decide the flow for the rest of the gaht?"

"With the princess? I think that's completely out, Eunius"

"No, she could order one number to kiss another Aleist has a talent when it cos"

Luecke praised Aleist for proposing this ga punish the beauty contest

"Sure enough, if it's this gaht be a genius!"

Eunisu decided to start a trend at the shops he frequented And with that, Aleist had left yet another legend

"I don't have talent when it co his costuesture But even if Fina was satisfied with his appearance and cute gestures, she wasn't satisfied with his speech

If only his appearance wasn't as cute, if only his actions weren't so lovely

(…… Unforgivable That way of speech is unforgivable! If you've already gone that far, then do so about your speech!! Just a little more A little more, and it'd be perfect!!)
