The Only Male Student in the Academy - The Only Male Student in the Academy chapter 121

121. Erea Blainclet(1)

Claire officially joined the party.

Is this okay…… I want to, but it’s hard to find a member higher than Claire when I judge it coldly.

There are no major disqualifications in terms of competence, and there are some problems in terms of personality…… In a situation where Mari had allowed it, there was no reason to make it a problem any more.

Although I was anxious, I finally decided to accept Claire.

But there are a few things that have changed.

One of them is the shelter environment of the underground waterway.

“…What is this all about?”

All sorts of furniture were rolling around in the aisle in front of the shelter.

When I pointed to it and asked, Claire replied with a calm face.

“All of my belongings?”

“No, I know that.”

I sighed.

That’s right, the furniture…… Too many.

Dressing table, tea ceremony cabinet, full-length mirror, picture frame, chandelier, chest of drawers…….

Perhaps the most notable thing is the bookshelf…. There are as many as five bookshelves lined up.

“Have you moved in?”

“Normal should be this much. Isn’t it, Master?”

“Don’t call me master.”

When there are only two of us, we often call him master.

Since I know you don’t like being called master, you’re deliberately trying to make me angry.

… Like a masochist to the core.

“…Take it back. How do you put all these things in?”

“Why. Looking at it, it’s quite wide, so I thought I could fit everything in it? I also reduced and shortened it and only brought these.”

“You don’t need a dressing table. Why did you bring a chandelier?”

“These are basic necessities. Master, you’re a noble, but you don’t know?”

Claire said that in a tone that was rare and a bit of a push.

There, you will feel that there is a difference in each other’s senses.

Claire…… It’s literally a noble among nobles. He is probably the one who understands best among us what nobles are.

That’s why she’s different from Marie, the daughter of a count, who was relatively close to the common people.

His values are completely different from me, who lived a commoner life in my previous life.

“What if you were born well? If you live in a shabby place, vulgarity is bound to bite you. If you were born as an aristocrat, you should always be in touch with elegance every second. Are you coming out?”

“Tell me without the dog collar on your neck.”

Not long ago, the person who licked his shoes while stepping on all fours had no words to say…. Undoubtedly the most shallow of the three of us is Claire.

But it’s not that I don’t understand what you’re talking about.

Even in the previous life, rich people have a unique aura. I feel that I grew up in a rich environment from the minute behavior.

Each of those things becomes charismatic, and even a dazzling foreign car changes the way you look at it, and from there, the people around you become a bit low-key, which is something you can see in dramas.

Moreover, this world is a class society.

At Philea Academy, nobles and commoners are in a position to seek learning on an equal footing, so they sometimes leave each other talking, but that’s why noble students seem to show off their greatness even more.

The reason Claire usually wears Ande Barium’s brilliance is to show half of it, and if you think about it, Rose also appeared wearing her dress when she was teasing Tia.

I want to show off from the outfit. That he was such a great being and that he was different from lowly people like you.

That part, regardless of the good or evil of humans, is a common value for nobles.

‘… In that respect, I’m sure I’m lacking in consciousness as an aristocrat.’

In my previous life, I was a commoner who ate three meals a day with ramen and even saved hospital bills.

In that sense, Claire and I basically have very different sensibilities.

“Why, why are you standing there…?”

That’s how Claire and I are having a small scuffle. Marie was approaching somewhere.

“Because Claire said she would bring them all in.”

“Miss Ariel and Marie brought in personal items. So why can’t I?”

“So don’t bring anything too personal. It takes up a lot of space, and it’s not really helpful for our party.”

“Don’t, stand, stand and talk… De, let’s go in and talk…”

Suddenly Marie squeezed between me and Claire and grabbed her by the arm.

I thought it was a very unusual behavior. Even though all she could do was hold her arm, even this level of skinship seemed embarrassing to Mari.

Has Mari become a little bolder… ? She thought as she went inside.

Marie put something in my hand.

“Is this… a cake box?”

“Uh, yes… Bar, I just bought it with my sister… Umm, how about talking while eating…”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Well, then, Ariel, prepare the cutlery… Um, there will be a bowl and fork over there… Then, and… K, Ms. Claire prepare a chair…”

“Huh? Prepare a chair?”

Hearing Marie’s words, Claire blinked at her.

When I glanced toward the table, there were exactly three chairs. Marie and I usually use one, and the other is a guest chair for Professor Ron or Catherine.

“There are three just right, right?”

“Uh, yes… That, that’s it…”

Marie moved towards one of her chairs.

She then took it down with her cane.

– Clumsy.

The chair is smashed with an ominous sound.

Mari is a wizard and has a low strength stat, but she is also an adventurer. She was strong enough to break a kobold’s head with her staff, and could easily break her chair.

So it might not be so strange that the chair became junk in an instant.

I couldn’t understand why I did this, so I stopped on the spot.

“Miss Mary…?”

“That, k, Ms. Claire, yes… Kuh, kneel down.”

Marie said, pointing to where the chair had been.

“What…?”

“Bo, you can see it when you see it… The chair is broken…, Uh, there’s no place for Ms. Claire to sit…”

“No, Miss Marie just broke it…”

“Well, even Ariel’s chair, it’s done…”

When Marie said that, Claire’s body flinched and stopped.

Her face is getting hotter and redder.

With joy.

“To be Ariel’s chair? Me?”

“Poetry, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to.”

“I’ll do it.”

Claire fell on the spot without hesitation…. It was a very quick action.

Then Marie turns her head to look this way.

“Ariel…. The chair is ready….”

“Hey, Marie…”

“Sit down.”

“…….”

A short word. But a strong pressure that cannot be ignored.

When I looked down, a strong sense of resistance welled up.

What you see is Claire’s back. The skirt of the uniform draws the line of his hips with the force of gravity.

I can’t see Claire’s face, but I can hear her breathing…. It sounded like a beast in heat.

“Ariel? Aren’t you going to sit down?”

Marie said another word.

When she heard that, I was sitting as if running away.

“Huh, it’s so…♡”

As soon as I sat down, a painful voice came from below…. It was so uncomfortable that it was a voice that I never hated.

“That, what is it… Mari, it’s a bit low…”

“Ah, uh, did you hear that, Miss Claire…?”

“Uh, yes♡ De, I heard…♡”

Then Claire lifts his hips more. …… No, he was asking for a different chair.

Mari smiles kindly as if ignoring my gaze, and puts the plate of cake in front of me.

“Come on, Miss Claire.”

Then she turned around and set down a plate of cakes in front of Claire as well.

On the floor, of course.

… It wasn’t like dealing with people.

“Miss Claire, Ji, let me ask you a question…? Miss Claire, what about Ariel…?”

“Cow, it’s my property…”

“Then, don’t rebel against Ariel.”

“Yes, yes…♡”

Marie looked down with Claire and talked about her personal items. In less than a minute, Claire agreed to take back most of her belongings.

Although it is questionable whether that can be called an agreement.

‘Marie has changed….’

After accepting Claire, many things changed, but the biggest change among them was Marie.

It’s surprising that Marie tolerates Claire’s existence.

… She trains Claire surprisingly well.

Do you think Claire is holding on tight so that she doesn’t do anything stupid?

… Although it was shocking in many ways that the method was so radical that the Marie I knew couldn’t imagine it.

“Eh, Ariel… Ke, how about a cake…? Does it taste good…?”

Marie asked anxiously from across the table.

Feeling a strange fear, I decided to stop thinking deeply.

I finished the cake and stood Claire up.

“Eh? It hasn’t even been 30 minutes yet?”

“…Then your back will break.”

Claire doesn’t seem to know the horrors of back pain, perhaps because she’s still young. Later, when the waist is straight, even sitting in a chair becomes difficult.

So, since I was young, I wanted to take care of my back,

“I’m going to talk seriously from now on.”

I said that while looking at Claire and Marie.

Then Claire sat down on the chair as if she understood. Fortunately, among the personal belongings Claire had brought with her today were a few chairs.

So everyone is seated,

“Let’s talk about Catalyst first.”

“Ah, you mean the ingredients? I’ve already looked into all the ingredients. I’m thinking about starting negotiations from now on.”

With that, Claire handed out a piece of paper.

It is a rough bill written in Claire’s handwriting. It is written about the expected amount needed and the transaction partner.

“It costs a lot of money.”

“But you can easily pay that much, right?”

“What is it?”

Maybe it’s because I go to collect items myself in the game. It’s a bit expensive because I’m trying to process everything with money.

But the last time I received compensation from the Joshua case, I was in a situation where I had more money.

It felt quite strange. When playing as Lucius in the game, there were a lot of times where he groaned about money, but Ariel is not struggling with money, but rather, her wealth continues to grow.

It is true that most of the reason for the increase in wealth is because of the life crisis, but….

“I’ll do the negotiations. I’ll get them all within this week.”

Speaking of that, I decided to leave everything to Claire about the materials for the Catalyst.

Next I saw Marie.

“Let’s talk about what we couldn’t finish yesterday. Why do I have to form a soul bond with Erea?”

“That, that’s the benefit, so…”

Marie answered my question hesitantly.

“B-Senior Blainkleet is an adventurer strong enough to be called the strongest in the academy… I’ve heard rumors that even the princess can’t touch it…”

“That’s not a rumor, it’s true ~. She was rejected because the princess wanted to put her erea into her faction?”

Claire sneakily agreed from the side.

The crown prince – although she became the first princess in this world – is a person who is extremely lazy in the original work, but is greedy for talent.

Would you say he wants to keep all the special people in his hands? Trying to move others for yourself…… So-called lazy but competent commander character.

So, even in the story, the prince contacted Erua several times and made her invitation, but Erua rejected all of them.

The reason why she can stand out against the imperial family is because of Er-A’s outstanding military power, and also because she is a disciple of the Adventure King.

To put it simply, the adventure king is like a living nuclear weapon.

The adventure king is the strongest human in this world——in other words, a person who is presumed to be the strongest in the world.

“Ah, having a relationship with a disciple of the Adventure King is, in itself, a benefit, isn’t it…?”

“It’s not like that.”

“Becoming the younger brother of such a person… Means being under the protection of B. Blainclette-senpai… I think it will be useful for Ariel as well…”

In a word, it is a story that a great practical benefit comes just by becoming Er A and her sworn brother.

The imperial family cannot touch the adventure king, and therefore the princess cannot touch the adventure king’s disciples.

My becoming Era’s younger brother is also an extension of that. It becomes a story that, just as the princess cannot touch Erua, she will not be able to touch me either.

It means that you will gain such a powerful position.

“Although there will be strange rumors circulating that he is the man who defiled Erea.”

Erua, the strongest in the academy, is truly an idol.

What happened when idols’ dating rumors or scandals on TV were discovered?

She might get a murder notice. She

She or she might be threatened.

No matter what, nothing good will happen.

“Then I have to make sure that rumors don’t spread. It’s not what I want for rumors to spread.”

Claire, who was listening to the story, quietly said a word.

“If Ariel becomes Er’s sister, the princess will definitely be interested in her~? She doesn’t like that~.”

“She definitely wants to avoid getting attention from the princess.”

“Still, I think Miss Marie has a point~. Making a connection with the adventurer’s apprentice is a tremendous opportunity that no one else can have.”

“That, and… Our image can’t get any worse than this…”

Marie added.

“That’s why, I think it’s right to take a practical advantage…”

“…….”

Hearing that, I looked at Claire involuntarily.

Come to think of it, didn’t I enlist Claire as a party member at the beginning of vacation in order to make a practical profit?

If I had tried to act emotionally, I would have ignored Claire, who once brought me a crisis. However, because he judged rationally, he had a friendly relationship with Claire and gained many things.

Of course, Claire and Erea are somewhat different.

I just promised to have a party with Claire for about a few weeks.

The decision to become a sworn brother with Erua is a story that builds a fairly long-term and deep human relationship.

The blood brotherhood resolution made at Philea Academy remains valid to some extent even after graduation.

Wouldn’t it be almost the same level as making a brother-in-law with the son of the chairman of a large company in high school? Not only does it increase the chances of being able to enter a large company by parachute, but if you ride the line well, you have enough influence to get on the road to success.

If I become Erea’s younger brother, of course I will be able to restore the duchy.

In some cases…… He might be able to beat Vincent and aim for the next lord of the duchy.

‘… That’s not what I want.’

If you form a bond between Erua and her soul, you will gain a lot, but it feels like you have a lot of responsibilities as well.

There are still many things to worry about, but it seems that the direction has been set to some extent.

“Okay. For now, I’ll try to meet Erua.”
