Chapter 48.1
Stage 2-17. The Gloom Of A Holiday Evening
“Vellet-sama in the student council!? So the rumors were true! I, Schultow Satia, must share this information with the fan club immediately!”
“…Sounds noisy outside.”
“I believe it’s around the time the news about you and Miss Riche joining the student council has reached the other students.”
“Heh, it’s sad how people are shackled by their own preconceptions.”
They probably don’t like the idea of me and Mashiro joining. But soon, they’ll have to shut their noisy mouths.
Once they realize we’ve joined the student council—something they fled from—humiliation will set in.
When they remember all the insults they hurled, they’ll writhe in embarrassment.
Just imagining their pathetic faces… Heh heh, delightful. Truly delightful.
“However, I predict that the opposing battle will further shift public opinion in your favor, Ouga-sama. The winds will certainly blow in support of your back.”
“Yeah, I also think it’s good that I was ultimately chosen for the representative match.”
I enrolled at the Rishburg Magic Academy to recruit talented individuals.
But once I joined, I realized that the students here were not as capable as I had hoped—not in terms of skill, but in their way of thinking.
The level of discriminatory thought is far too strong.
Such individuals only sow discord. They have no place in my harem.
Fortunately, a suitable opportunity has arrived: the inter-academy magic tournament.
If I can compete as a representative, it’ll allow me to connect with students from other schools—and that’s significant.
Other magic academies harbor less prejudice than Rishburg. They even have commoner students of great skill, like Mashiro.
For such students, someone from a duke’s family like me would be a prime candidate for employment.
Of course, my target is a kind girl with big breasts!
Because, after all, breasts are magnificent.
…Wait, I mean Father. I’ll mention in a letter to him that by the time I graduate, I might bring back a lot of talented people.
The day after the pajama party with Reina.
After finishing another boring class, I was in my room, writing a letter to Father to update him on my recent activities.
That I’m enjoying my academy life with Mashiro and Karen.
That I’ve joined the student council.
That I’ve been selected as a representative for the inter-academy magic tournament.
And that I’d love for him to come watch, if he has time.
Father is someone who loves family and is dedicated to spending quality time with us.
“Anything else I should write…?”
What came to mind was the pink-haired girl whose attitude had shifted drastically, and with whom I’d grown unexpectedly close.
…But something was off about Reina that day.
In my previous life, I lived by reading people’s moods, always trying to avoid upsetting them with my words or behavior.
That’s why I immediately noticed the change in Reina.
Especially after she tried to show me her breasts—her expression seemed even more lifeless than usual, as if she was suppressing something within herself.
It felt like she was bottling up emotions she couldn’t express.
