Graduated from Witchcraft Institute

Eileen took me inside the castle, up the stairs to the third floor.

She stopped in front of a room a short walk from there.

"I got it, this is my room. I'm gonna go inside and wait and ask Grandpa to make some tea."

That said, when he opened the door and pushed us inside, Eileen left us and once again ran down the hallway.

We had no choice, so we decided to let her wait inside, just like she said.

The room that was put through was a space of calm atmosphere with not much brilliant conditioning etc.

Furniture such as beds, sofas, tables and costumes are all solid and of good quality.

But when I say it's a calm atmosphere, it doesn't mean we'll settle down immediately.

I had a hands-free time there for a while with the three girls.

Then, a little while later, Satsuki, who had been nagging and not speaking a word ever since working with Eileen, finally leaked a word.

"... is uh. ─ Oh, no, I lost. You're strong, princess. Ha-ha-ha."

That's what I said and made you laugh. It was satsuki, but not the same teasing smile as usual.

To that smile, I felt the delicacy that seemed like some sort of glass workmanship, about to break right into some kind of clap.

I sigh one thing, and I whisper satsuki.

"─ Satsuki, don't push it. When you want to cry, it's to cry. I'll lend you some breasts."

That's what I said, and when I put my hands on Satsuki's head like I was softening a child, Satsuki's making smile collapsed in an instant.

Tears accumulate in those eyes that stare at me and make me look like I'm about to cry.

But - - Satsuki stood still in the dust, wiping her tears with her kimono sleeve and bouncing my hand with her other hand.

"... Yada. He'll be back soon. I don't want to show you the weakness in front of him."

"Okay, okay."

Satsuki apparently defined Eileen as his own rival.

I honestly admire your temper to face all that difference.

And after a while, Eileen came back.

"Sorry to keep you waiting! ─ What, were you standing and waiting? You have a couch there. I wish you would have sat down and waited."

She brings a basin with tea and tea treats for the number of people on it, and when she puts it on the table in front of the couch for a few people, she starts serving it quickly.

"Don't be impotent. What do you think your guests are? That hasn't changed at all."

"Haha, well don't say that, Will. All right, everybody, sit down."

My paced Eileen doesn't even care what this one says.

As I sighed, I sat down on the recommended couch.

My people follow it and sit side-by-side on the horizontal couch where I sit.

"So what's your business today? It means you want to talk to me."

Make sure everyone's seated, Irene, and we'll get to the bottom of this quickly.

Her own seat is opposite ours.

I take her word for it, take the paperwork out of the luggage bag, round it up and hand it over to Eileen.

"... What's this?

"It's what we found in the bandit's Azito. The bandits had killed all the inhabitants of a nearby village. It happened in this country."

When I explained that, Irene's eyes narrowed softly.

"May I read it"

"Oh."

After confirming my reply, Eileen unwraps the fastening string and opens the rounded paper.

And I look through what's written there.

As I proceeded to read, Irene's expression grew more rude.

And when you finish reading the whole street, round the paper back up and tie it with a string.

"Will, thank you for delivering. I want your father - the king - to see this. I guess."

"Oh, nice to meet you"

"Yeah, thanks....... and unforgivable. I can't believe this happened out of our sight in this country. What the hell is the purpose..."

Eileen grips that fist hard.

I was relieved to see how she was doing and that things like this haven't changed.

Generally speaking, the operation of the country is not directly governed by the King over all of its territory.

It takes the form of indirect rule whereby the king delegates some of the governing powers of the territory to the nobility and the nobles who have received it run the territory given to each of them.

And the total number of nobles in the country actually counts four digits, if even small lords are included.

As a result, the king's dominance over the entire national territory is no longer so great.

Even if we can control large frames, we can't really figure out everything that happens inside individual territories.

And when it comes to the number of villages in the whole country, the total number extends to nearly five digits.

Even if one village in the country perishes, it can be said that if the lord of the land tries to hide it, there is a good chance that such "trivial information" will not reach the king.

Even if that information is also received, it is normal that one village or the like can only be regarded as a "number" of tens of thousands for the rulers of the country.

No matter how many mourn the pain of nostalgia, there will not be so many royal aristocrats who think of every human being as angry as Eileen.

Eileen's nature is special as a royal nobleman.

And that's why I thought I could trust this information with Eileen.

Although I have a lot of problems with my personality, I can tell you that she is one of the people I have enough credit for.

─ And when I was thinking about that, Cyril bumped a question from beside me toward Eileen.

"Um, excuse me... don't you think about the possibility that we're lying?

Cyril's point was the best.

There is no such thing as a lord destroying his own territory through which to talk, and there is no doubt that the rest is an incredibly hard story to believe.

And that's why I brought it to Eileen, an ancient acquaintance, at least not to be snubbed at the bottom of the organization.

But Irene, who was asked that by Cyril, blinks her eyes as if she had been poked in the void.

"Ahhh...... you sure do. If I had received this information from a stranger, I might have suspected it first. But Will brought it to me, so it's not there. I've known Will a long time. [M] This man is not like that. It may look cold at first sight, but it's actually a pretty hot one, and most importantly, I wouldn't lie about that crap."

... I see.

Apparently, I wasn't the only one who trusted them.

The memories with Eileen are not all pleasant, but she was still a good friend of mine.
