52 – Scene 052# School Uniform

*

“yes… . After all, did Albert decide to work for you?”

Arthur Ruelberta took off his glasses as he put down Albert’s letter.

Then he rubbed his face with his wrinkled hands. He seemed relieved as if he had swallowed a long-held worry.

“I mean, he’s such a funny guy. Whenever you say that you will never touch the magic formula again… . You are like an arrogant child.”

Hearing the contents alone was close to criticism, but Arthur’s tone was infinitely soft.

He turned his head out the window.

We were sitting at a cafe located in a department store.

The special room for VIPs, which is a room, is open with a large glass window, so you can see the scenery of the islands at a glance.

“Tristan, you’ve done a foolish thing. Where did you hire that waste to be used? tsk… Now that this has happened, that old man will suck the marrow to the marrow. Show me what it’s like to be paid by the Ruelberta family.”

“I still think so.”

I sipped my coffee.

It also smelled as good as the tea.

This also seems to have been imported from Luelberta.

It was like the Ruelberta family who insisted on and possessed only the best in everything.

But Wendy, who was sitting next to me, didn’t seem interested in the coffee.

“Huh… .”

What Wendy was looking at, drooling slightly, was a dessert on a three-tier crystal tray.

It was full of cakes that glittered like jewels and cookies that smelled sweet.

do you want to eat that

I casually handed Wendy a cake in a crystal tray.

“Bae, Count?”

“Take a taste.”

“That, but… How dare I… .”

“I don’t eat anything that doesn’t taste good. Try it yourself and let me know how it tastes.”

“… Is that really okay?”

“I won’t say it twice.”

“Yes, yes! Well then, let’s eat well… !”

Wendy, holding a fork, opened her small mouth to taste the cake.

Immediately after that, her eyes sparkled with brilliance.

“~~~ It’s sweet!”

The reaction was very generous, so it was nice to see.

Wendy savors the cake as if she has become the happiest girl in the world.

But Arthur, who saw it, was suddenly amazed.

“As expected, Tristan. It’s thorough that you let the attendant taste it beforehand. Do you remember that your grandfather was poisoned?”

“!?”

At Arthur’s words, Wendy froze while taking a bite of the cake with her fork.

This inspiration… I want to see how he behaves.

I said hiding my expression.

“… Of course I remember.”

Milliam and Arthur’s father, Tristan’s grandfather, Count Ruelberta of Tennessee, was poisoned.

It is known that he was poisoned by someone out of resentment, but it was Milliam who poisoned him.

Arthur is unaware of that fact.

“Since ancient times, Ruelberta has had many enemies. Of course, this is where I manage from one to ten, so that will never happen. So, you can eat it safely.”

“Yes, yes… .”

Wendy swallowing what’s in her throat.

After seeing that, I asked Arthur.

“By the way, has the roof been repaired?”

“Well. It was strange. Immediately after the incident, the Imperial Magic Investigation Team rushed in and investigated the scene. And then I went back to fix everything. He didn’t even say anything about investigating anything.”

“… Probably destruction of evidence.”

I knew the whole story.

On that day, an explosion occurred on the roof of an unknown department store and people evacuated.

In fact, it was the result of a desperate fight between me, Blanche, and Marco, the captain of the guard.

The reason the royal family dispatched the magic investigation team must be to destroy the evidence.

Arthur Ruelberta nodded.

“I think so too. It is no longer possible to know what happened to someone else’s karma, but it is certain that the imperial family intervened.”

The intervention of the Imperial Magic Investigation Team was tantamount to saying that the Imperial Family intervened.

In other words, the imperial family has no intention of hiding the fact that they were involved in this incident.

But the evidence is gone, so they can escape.

Arthur warned me.

“be careful. Tristan. The movement of the imperial family has been strange lately. They say that even the emperor doesn’t show up often in the palace.”

“… You mean the emperor?”

“yes.”

Lucy Meikahel, the empress who rules the Meikahel Empire.

She is the king of mystic concepts.

She usually wears a mask, and no one has ever seen her face except for a few.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

During the day, she only listens to the words of her servants, and does not comment on state affairs.

However, the next day, you can see the amazing thing that the state affairs are finished very neatly.

In addition, Lucy is an emperor who strove to increase the authority of the imperial family, which had fallen by Ruelberta.

She attracted many nobles to her side and increased her power.

Of course, compared to Ruelberta’s strength, it’s still not enough… However, it is not something that can be completely ignored.

In fact, the imperial family was the only force in the empire that could keep Ruelberta in check.

According to the contents of the original work, there is a persistent power struggle between Ruelberta and the imperial family.

In the end, Ruelberta wins.

And Lucy meets a gruesome end by Tristan.

Tristan, who completely dominated the imperial family, crowned the scarecrow emperor and took control of the empire.

what… Now that I’m Tristan, that future will never come.

However, the imperial family is a very difficult task for me.

Within about a year or so, you must prepare for the invasion of the players by joining forces with the imperial family.

When I think about it, my eyes go blank.

Who will believe in the first place?

One day, a gate suddenly opens in the sky, and players from another dimension will appear in front of us.

And the fact that they kill people and turn this world into a mess.

I wouldn’t believe it unless you’re crazy.

In the end, the most realistic and comfortable way I can do is to take control of the imperial family as in the original story.

However, I want to avoid sacrifices in the process.

There are many named characters on the imperial side as well.

They are all powers to fight against players.

You can’t lose a single one.

I opened my mouth slowly.

“No matter what the imperial family does behind the scenes, it won’t pose a threat to Ruelberta.”

“cancer. don’t be like that big… . You, too, now know how to sound like a head of household.”

Arthur nodded his head and said as if he had suddenly remembered.

“Oh, yes. The little girl became the student representative of Meikahel University this time?”

“Yes, yes!”

Wendy, who was suddenly nominated, jumped up.

“Uh ha ha. Calm down and sit down. This was a complete talent. Tristan, shouldn’t you do something for your excellent exclusive maid?”

As Arthur waved his palm, a man in a suit opened the door and entered as if he had waited.

It was the first face I had ever seen.

But Wendy seemed to know him.

“uh… ? Eugene?”

“Nice to meet you again. Mr. Wendy.”

“Was it spherical? This is Eugene, the manager of our Luelcia head office.”

“Nice to meet you. Count.”

“Well.”

He was a very polite man.

He seemed to know manners well.

In his hands were luxuriously wrapped clothes.

Recognizing the identity of the clothes, I couldn’t help but frown.

“… uniform?”

“yes. It’s a gift I give you.”

“Yeah?! Me, me?!”

Wendy was startled and looked at the school uniform Eugene was holding.

Even a person who doesn’t know much about clothes could tell that it was made of high-quality material just by looking at it.

“It was specially custom-made at the request of Luelcia. I can proudly say that it is the most expensive school uniform in the world.”

“… Wasn’t the attire voluntary?”

Although Meikahel University is a university, uniforms existed.

However, it is only made formally.

Of course, I know that no one wears it even after becoming an adult.

Arthur said with a chuckle.

“After all, didn’t the young lady skip a class? If you’re the age of a lady now, it’s still time to wear a school uniform, so it won’t be awkward to wear.”

“Arthur. Go, thank you… But I, I… . that is… Gyo, it’s the first time I’ve had a school uniform… .”

Oh sure… .

It is natural that Wendy, who was a poor commoner, never went to a school that would have a uniform in another world.

Wendy’s eyes are moist as if she was thrilled.

“hahahahaha. Then it’s even better. Besides, where else can the school principal tailor the school uniform?”

“Yes, yes???? I-Chairman…?!”

“yes. I am the chairman of the board of directors at Meikahel University, where you are enrolled.”

Arthur thumped his chest and said.

Meikahel University is national, but financially supported by the Ruelberta Foundation.

So, the president was delegated by the country, but the chairman of the board was the chairman of the Ruelberta Foundation.

And that position was occupied by my guardian, Arthur Ruelberta.

Arthur, who was looking at Wendy, who was so happy after receiving her uniform, as if she were looking at her granddaughter, said to me.

“By the way, Tristan.”

“Yes.”

“It sounds out of the blue, but as you know, I am very old now. Now my body can’t stand just managing a department store or a casino.”

“… ?”

I looked at Arthur’s face.

His face looked particularly aged, probably because he had just said that.

Arthur spoke to me in a quiet voice.

“So, how about you be the head of the school from now on?”
