CH 83

Everyone moves to the assembly building one after another.

Ah, the taste of the pork from the lower-class noble’s restaurant still lingers in my mouth.

What are you doing over there?

How do you make a profit?

“Ah, Curtis, Elmer, I’ll give you two these,” I said.

“Hmm, what is it?” Curtis said.

“… The key to the meeting room…?” Elmer asked.

“Yes, that’s right,” I said.

I hand over the shiny keys to them.

Both Curtis and Elmer are smiling.

We unlock room 155 and go inside.

Ohhhh.

“Oooh, amazing.”

“This is not what I expected.”

“It’s so classy.”

Everyone looked around the room and raised their voices.

The rooms have been polished to a shine and are very clean.

In the center was a large, heavy table that could seat about 10 people, covered with a pure white cloth, and the center decoration was beautiful orchids.

On the south side of the room is a large sitting set upholstered in black leather.

It’s a sofa, so nice, I want to take a nap.

In the room, there is a high-pile red embroidered carpet, which is very pleasant to the touch.

“This is soothing, or rather, it seems to be quite expensive,” I said.

“I was going to throw it away, so you don’t have to worry about it,” Hilda-senpai said as she opened the door and came in.

She was here before I knew it.

“We’re going to have a meeting, I already informed Yurisha-sama,” Hilda said.

“That helps a lot,” I said.

And when I thanked Hilda-senpai, she smiled and sat down.

“You shouldn’t go to the lower-class noble’s restaurant, because it’s run by the headmaster’s nephew, and it’s just a place to grab a subsidy,” Hilda said.

“Uhee, is that true?” I asked.

“The headmaster is a competent man, but got gray morals. He’s from Duke Pottinger’s faction, so it might soon be time to harass our faction,” Hilda said.

I’m reluctant to confront the headmaster.

How troublesome.

Or rather, it would be really easy if there was an intelligence agent.

Any information comes in like Google-sensei.

As I admired Hilda-senpai, Carol approached me from behind and put her chin on my shoulder.

What is it, why are you sticking so close to me?

Kukkuku, are you jealous, are you jealous, Carol?

It’s okay, my heart belongs to Carol, and I’m just playing around with Hilda-senpai.

Oh, she smells so good.

“Makoto, you’re making a strange face again,” Carol said.

“Hey, what are you thinking? Anyway, let’s take our seats,” I said.

Carol took me by the hand and made me sit in the upper seat, the so-called birthday seat.

…….

Ah, since I’m the leader, is it okay to stay here?

I can’t calm down.

The door opened and Dulcie entered with a large flax sack.

“Oh, thank you, Dulcie.”

“It’s nothing.”

""

She put a platter on the table and tossed the bread on it.

Where did the platter come from?

There was a beautiful cupboard in the corner of the room, decorated with tea utensils, tableware, and plates.

“This is a gift from the Clayton family, Makoto-sama,” Dulcie said.

“Wah, thank you, Elmer, that’s a real help,” I said.

However, everyone is rich, so they donate expensive-looking furniture.

Thank you, thank you.

“Mayocorn…you are the truth…” Elmer muttered.

Elmer’s love for mayocorn has reached a disgusting level.

“Good morning, everyone,” Yuriyuri-senpai said as she came in with Misha-san.

The young girl maid is pulling a large tea wagon, which has recently become her trademark.

Misha and Shirley distribute tea to everyone.

My maid, Dulcie, is dejected to have been removed from the tea service.

We drink tea and nibble on Saint’s bread.

Ah, somehow I found a comfortable place.

“Well, everyone, please listen while you eat, we will start the 3rd Saint’s Faction meeting,” Curtis said.

“Thank you for always being the chairman, Curtis,” I said.

“No worries, Makoto,” Curtis said. “Now, our faction has also welcomed shadow warfare specialists and evolved into an increasingly powerful faction. You can say that it’s about time we entered the three-way battle we envisioned.”

Umu, that’s right, from Duke Pottinger’s Faction, the intelligence-related family and the shadow-warfare-related family have left, and at this point, the academy’s centripetal force has dropped considerably.

It can be said that the Royal Faction and the Saint’s Faction have gained power.

“At this point, it can be said that the threat of the Duke of Pottinger family has greatly diminished, well, they will try to augment from their main territory, but with all the troubles there, I don’t think they can bring their full power to bear.”

Elsa-san was staring at my Saint Bread.

“Want to eat it?”

“I would like some.”

I tear off the saint’s bread, place it on a plate, and slide it in front of Elsa-san.

Taking one bite, she squinted and smiled.

“It’s delicious, I’ll buy it at Hiyoko-Do next time,” Elsa said.

“Thank you,” I said.

“Ehen, Faction Head, please stop talking,” Curtis said.

“Oh, sorry.”

Curtis-onii-chan got mad at me.

“The number of requests to join the Saint’s Faction is steadily increasing,” Curtis said. “I’d like to use the Mahler family’s investigative skills to do background checks if you don’t mind.”

“I don’t mind, Curtis-kyou, please give me the list later,” Hilda said.

“That’s a relief because we have to be vigilant against Duke Pottinger’s faction and the Royal Faction,” Curtis said.

“Are the royalists also planning to strike out at us?” I asked.

“The Royal Faction is not an enemy, but it is not an ally either,” Hilda said. “Even within their allies, it’s normal to bury the nobles who are their yorikos.”

“Factional struggles are tough, aren’t they?” I said.

“You’re too carefree, Makoto,” Hilda said. “Be a little more vigilant.”

“Right.”

With that, the third Saint’s Faction meeting ended.

It sounds good.

Ah, that’s right, you can also hold a study session here.

I’m so happy.
