As soon as breakfast was finished, Mother went into your office.
There was a call from my mother to see her after breakfast, so I also went to my mother’s office after a while.
After knocking three times, he informed his mother, who would be inside, that he would enter.
“Mother, may I come in?”
“… Yes, come in.”
After my mother’s answer, after about half a beat, I opened the door and walked into the office.
Upon confirming that I had entered, my mother immediately spoke to the twin maids, Mary and Biz.
“Mary, Biz. Could you please go outside for a moment?”
“Yeah.”
“All right.”
As soon as I entered the office, I saw that he pushed the employees outside, so it seemed that he was trying to bring up a story that he probably didn’t want to tell others.
As soon as I confirmed that Mary and Biz were out of the office, my mother asked me bluntly.
“What are you going to do, Conrad?”
“Yeah?”
As he cut off the contents of the front and back, he suddenly said something incomprehensible, so inadvertently, the question came out of my mouth.
“If there is a problem with the prospective users who were brought in yesterday… .”
“You can’t possibly guess anything in this situation… ?”
“… … Yeah?”
“You really, ha, really you… .”
My mother, who was organizing what she was going to say to me while holding her head, asked me with serious eyes.
“How on earth can you accept the heart of a forest elf of the World Tree and still show such an impudent expression?”
“… do you have a heart? me?”
“Then, who else is there besides you?”
“… Surely the target who gave that heart is not talking about the draft, right?”
“I would rather ask. Could it be that other elves, other than that elf named Xian, are also intertwined somewhere that Mom doesn’t know about?”
I didn’t know what to say, so I tilted my head and answered, and my mother continued with a look of exasperation.
“Is it because you don’t know how proud the forest elves of the World Tree are? Is it a sane act to seduce you and bring you home without fear?”
“… I’m saying this because you seem to be misunderstanding something, but Xian and I don’t really have a male-female relationship… .”
“Say something sensible!”
bang. With a sound, the mother’s palm hit the desk in the office.
“Lulu the other day and the elf you brought today. It’s obvious that I already have feelings for you, how long are you going to pretend you don’t know?!”
“… … .”
“Even when my mom was in school, she wasn’t as insensitive as you! Not to mention, Delphina must be much more sensitive to emotions than you!”
I knew at least that clumsy excuses wouldn’t work for an angry mother, so I just stayed silent until her feelings cooled.
“… Yes, taking a commoner girl as a lover while causing a scandal with the daughter of the Warburg family is an incident within the scope of understanding.”
“… … .”
“If it’s a commoner girl with no social status, even if I take her as a concubine, I won’t be very disappointed, and the daughter of the Warburg family will probably tolerate that much. That’s why the last time you brought Lulu, you didn’t object much.”
“… Is that so.”
“… But if that number increases further, the story will be different the moment they become elves who have lived their entire lives in the forest of the World Tree.”
After saying that, my mother told me what I was doing wrong with a serious expression.
“First of all, it’s as if the engagement between you and the Warburg family’s daughter has already taken place. You may think that you have broken off the engagement well, but you should know that the moment the margrave’s family decides to take you in as their son-in-law, your will does not matter.”
“… That much, I know.”
“Then, if that happened, you should have been thinking about the next one. Does it make sense that he married a girl from a family with a difference in social status to his fiancé, and then has two concubines?”
“… … .”
“There, one of them is a forest elf. That race with strong pride would never be satisfied with a halfway position like a concubine. However, if you take her as your second wife or main wife, there is no way you can stay still in the family of the margrave… .”
“mother.”
“Besides, looking at this situation, as Delfina said, the inside story of the other rumors must be as obvious as looking inside the slime. Not only the daughter of the Margrave Arwen family, but maybe even the saintess… . Ha ha, really, what should I do with you… .”
To my mother, who seemed to be serious about the problem, I answered with the meaning that there was nothing to worry about.
“It’s okay, mother.”
“After you’ve been working this far, what the hell is going on?”
“… You don’t have to worry, because maybe nothing your mother is worried about will happen.”
I said calmly to my mother who tilted her head as if she didn’t know what I was talking about.
“If you’re concerned about chaos because of my relationships with Hilla, Lulu, Xian, or anyone else, I’ll tell you, don’t worry about that.”
“… What do you mean?”
“First of all, kids like Hilla, Lulu, and Xian don’t agree that I have rational feelings… .”
“… … .”
“If they really do have those feelings for me, at least it won’t cause any problems.”
My mother, who seemed to be trying to find out what I was talking about, seemed to still have doubts on her face.
“At least that won’t cause any problems. What the hell do you mean by that?”
“If you wait for the next five years, I will solve all the problems with my relationship with the opposite sex neatly.”
“… Conrad? Do you think that is possible?”
“I can assure you. So for now, I just ask you to trust me and wait.”
As if she hadn’t expected me to come out with such a confident attitude, her mother’s expression hardened and sank in vain.
“I’ve never told a lie, even if I’ve disappointed my mother.”
“… Yes Conrad. If you say that, it must mean that there is a solution.”
“The unfortunate incidents you worry about won’t happen, so there’s no need for mother to worry about this.”
Whether my colleagues’ interest in me is friendship or affection, what I have to do at the end won’t change anyway.
At that time, the degree of the degree of feelings towards me would not matter at all.
“Are you finished with your story?”
“… yes son Tell Mary and Biz to come back.”
“All right.”
The moment I opened the door with an answer and was about to step out of the office, my mother added one more word to me from behind.
“And, Conrad.”
“Yeah?”
“I’ve never had you ever disappoint my mother.”
“… … .”
“Conrad, you have always been my proud son.”
“… Thank you, Mother.”
Trying to calm down my heart that started beating with overwhelming emotions, I stepped out of the office.

And that evening.
Since the errands in the Perdalos estate were over, he was packing his things to go back to the academy.
A third knock came from outside the door after a certain interval.
“Little Master, this is Line.”
“Okay, come in.”
After I gave my permission, Line opened the door and entered the room with quiet steps.
The plate in her hand was perfectly parallel to the floor, and the cloth bag on top of the plate was perfectly balanced.
“I brought the items that the little master entrusted to the sous chef.”
“Yeah, give it to me.”
“Yeah.”
To make eye level with me, who was packing my luggage on the floor, Line got down on one knee and sat down lightly.
I took the cloth bag from her on a plate that was still balancing on it.
The smell of roasted nuts spreads to the tip of your nose as soon as you slightly untie the tied string.
When I opened the pouch and checked the inside, I could confirm that it was filled with roasted peanuts.
“It’s roasted peanuts, good job.”
“… Wasn’t it wrong this time?”
“yes. It’s definitely roasted peanuts, as I asked for. It’s a really big step forward.”
In fact, I wonder if it would be right to praise something like this when I think of Line in the past who had failed several times even in this simple task.
Anyway, while staying at Perdalos Mansion for a while, Line showed off her perfect maid without making a single mistake.
For the first time, I happily admitted defeat at Line’s movements that were so perfect that I couldn’t find any place to point them out.
“I heard that even the hounds of the academy can memorize a spell in three years, and you, Linen, are also in your third year, so you are finally doing your part.”
“… That’s too much praise, Bocchan.”
“I’m glad that you can really do it. To be honest, I thought it would take another two or three years for you to do your part.”
Whether I made a mistake or not, Linen in my past life, whom I let go of, spilled coffee on my clothes even in the 7th year.
It was truly amazing that she had developed this much in less than half of the time since she started working as a maid at Perdalos.
“I’m going back to the academy with Xian tomorrow afternoon, so arrange a wagon to the ecliptic in the morning.”
“I have already completed an appointment this afternoon. If you leave after lunch at Perdalos Mansion, you will probably be able to arrive at Alexandros Academy in the Ecliptic around tomorrow evening.”
“… Have you already been there?”
It was the moment when I was genuinely afraid to see if the child in front of me was really Line.
It’s not like the soul from another world suddenly became possessed… .
“yes. You did a really good job today, Rene.”
After checking my luggage and going to bed, she moved to the light switch near the door to turn off the light.
“Have a good night, little master.”
“yes. Renee, you too.”
After I leave Perdalos Mansion again tomorrow afternoon, I will be spending my last semester at the academy in this lifetime.
As far as I can remember, nothing special happened in the last semester I attended the academy, so I vaguely thought that I would probably spend the most peaceful semester since returning to the past.
There were so many futures I changed while living my second life, so I couldn’t be so sure, but even if my actions caused another problem, it was a problem I had to solve at that time.
Even if I thought about it, I put away my meaningless worries and got into the duvet and laid down quietly. After going back to the academy tomorrow, organizing the things I need to do in my head.
How to use the materials of monsters killed in the last hunting festival and where to use the sales proceeds.
How to prepare the forces to support Stella, who is about to awaken the warrior.
How to maintain the Cardia Subjugation Corps, which will be temporarily separated after graduating from the academy.
While I was thinking about this and that, my consciousness sank into a deep soma.
… It was the next morning that I realized something was wrong.
