Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 37
Episode 37
37fury. honor(2)
To summarize Rodelin's story, it is as follows:.
We succeeded in recovering Luther's student records..
However, official announcement and preparation of a place for the grave were rejected..
It's the same conversation I had in the game..
And I knew how to solve this problem.
‘Because there is one of the strategies posted by the old man..’
But I listened carefully to each sentence and word..
There are a few things that have changed since I played the game..
“Three days later, Luther's father decided to come visit..”
“It's my father?”
“That's right. An apology is an apology, but a proper compensation plan must also be prepared.…….”
Luther's father. I'm talking about the clown in town..
He's visiting the academy.
This has never happened in a game.
‘Originally, the episode would end with Luthus' student list being restored.…….’
If you use the strategy of stagnant figures, you can even erect a tombstone..
But that was the be all and end all.
‘Is it because it was revealed that the clown and Luthus are father and son??’
From here on, it's a road I've never been on before..
This means that we don't know what hidden piece this will lead to..
‘But I can feel it.’
This is the first time a clown has visited the Academy, but I have no idea what to do..
Create a situation that is as favorable to him as possible.
That was most likely to lead to the best outcome..
‘You can also get hidden rewards.’
A hidden piece within a hidden piece. My mouth is watering..
First, we decided to use the knowledge of the deceased..
Rodelin persuades Marquis Luke to erect Luther's tombstone..
Up to this point, the strategy has been revealed..
“Hehe, wouldn't it be simple to use the power of the family to put pressure on them??”
“……Refrain from speaking. That's something only charlatans do..”
“Should we be afraid of losing our reputation for doing the right thing? It looks like Lucid's reputation has been built up so far..”
Rodelin's eyes became fierce..
I'm really angry. Because to her, her family is more important than her own life..
But my tongue didn't stop moving.
“Isn't that right? I'm afraid that my reputation will be tarnished, so I'll pretend not to see it. The noble Lucid is no different from other nobles..”
“……You better watch that mouth. And I've seen a lot of guys lose their heads.”
“Hehe, is that so? That's a little scary..”
stood up.
Because Rodelin was really showing off the momentum to swing the sword..
I walked slowly, passing Rodelin..
He spit out the last sentence at the same time..
“Risking dishonor is the true ‘honor’..”
“…….”
no answer came back.
But with just this hint, Rodelin will be able to understand..
‘Even in games, we only talk like this..’
I left Rodelin, who was lost in thought, and headed to the dormitory..
* * *
“Phew…….”
Late night nearing dawn.
Rodelin looked at the crystal communication port and sighed deeply..
‘Is there no way??’
No, actually Rodelin found a way..
A perfect justification for the family to intervene in the academy's affairs..
Knock, Knock.
Student roster on the desk in the office.
Rodelin's fingernails continued to tap on the student list..
What's unusual is that the color of the student list is very faded..
It was natural. This student list is.
20Because it was years ago.
Chorak-.
Student list opened by Rodelin's hand.
There was a face there she knew well..
“…….”
widely-.
Student roster closed again.
Rodelin's fingernails tapped the student list again..
An action that has already been repeated dozens of times..
But Rodelin didn't realize that..
This was proof that her concerns were serious..
“Rodelin, can you hear me??”
“ah… … Meet the matriarch.”
“The greetings are done. Okay, did you come up with anything new??”
Rodelin submitted her report step by step..
Some information was conveyed that I had not been able to convey because I was too busy..
Marquis Luke nodded..
“Right. The investigation team departed early yesterday morning. It will arrive in about a week. Until then, we ask that the site be preserved..”
“Yes, matriarch. don't worry.”
“Yes, it's late at night. Try to sleep early today.”
Now, if you say your final greeting, communication will be cut off..
It was when Rodelin was about to say hello..
Suddenly, Zero's words rang in my head..
-Risking dishonor. That is true ‘honor’..
Rodelin clenched her fists..
It's not often you get the chance to talk like this with Marquis Luke..
‘Maybe you'll be disappointed in me.’
No, you will be 100% disappointed. But you have to be brave.
Even if we face the same result as yesterday, even if we are hated by Marquis Luke, we must be courageous..
Now, the only one who can restore Luthus and Parrot's honor is himself..
Because there is only one person.
“Lord, I have something to tell you..”
“Hmm, did something else come to mind??”
“no. This is a problem regarding the treatment of Lutus County..”
“……I think that conversation ended yesterday. Did you just forget about it? Or have you become dull-headed??”
Marquis Luke's eyes turned cold..
afraid. But I wasn't as scared as I thought.
Now that I've said it out loud, there's no longer a place to retreat to..
Because I was convinced that this was the right thing to do..
“There is a reason. Reasons for intervention in the Academy.”
“……tell me.”
Rodelin opened the student list..
“20This is the student list from a year ago. There was one person from Lucid..”
“20years ago? then…….”
“Yes, that's right. You are my eldest sister..”
Where Rodelin's finger pointed, there was a picture of a girl..
Black hair with a bluish tint. Schoolboy style girl wearing glasses.
Lucia de Lucid.
She is the first child and eldest daughter of the Marquis Luke..
She was also Rodelin's older sister..
Why is that name suddenly mentioned?.
Marquis Luke's face, after thinking for a moment, was colored with astonishment..
Because I recognized Rodelin’s thoughts..
“Rodelin, no way…….”
“Yes, that's right. I'm thinking of reporting my older sister..”
“……What is the reason for the complaint??”
“Because I couldn’t protect my junior. Not only was he unable to protect a single student, but he didn't even realize he had disappeared. Soldier is disqualified.”
It's unreasonable. That too is ridiculous and far-fetched..
If this had been brought up in another family, there would have been a backlash..
However, the proud Lucid family accuses someone from the same family.?
This is a different story..
‘We have no choice but to reinvestigate and erect a tombstone for the victims..’
The Academy has no choice but to accept Lucid’s intervention..
A situation where the Lucid family admits their mistake and asks for forgiveness..
If you don't kiss in this situation, there will be a backlash against the academy..
‘Not only will our family have to pay for the apology, but also the related costs. But the real problem is the other side..’
Compensation and tombstone construction costs.
Considering Lucid's wealth, it's not even close to the blood of a bird..
The problem arises when people from the same family are accused and scolded for their mistakes..
‘And the youngest is the eldest sister?’
It is a disgrace to the family. It's eating away at my flesh..
It is a dangerous act that turns a family member into an enemy..
but.
‘If Luther's honor is restored as a result,.’
The honor of a hero who was almost forgotten is preserved. at the same time.
Lucid's honor rises even higher..
‘In Lucid, those who do wrong are punished. Even if they are from the same family.’
That phrase will be etched in the minds of everyone in the empire..
People will sing their praises to Lucid..
Because it is not something that can be done easily..
Especially if it is a prestigious noble family that is one of the pillars of the empire..
“Risking dishonor. Isn’t that true honor??”
“haha…….”
You take on dishonor and gain greater honor..
It's a crazy plan..
The only one who bears the dishonor is Lucia, the eldest. It will only be for a moment.
Rodelin finished speaking and lowered her head..
The choice to report her family was not an easy one for her either..
Because she was the eldest sister who always cared for me..
“I will personally apologize to my eldest sister..”
“……There is something wrong with your words. Why apologize when your job is to correct a mistake??”
“Well, that's…….”
Rodelin hesitated..
Marquis Luke was able to notice two things here..
First, Rodelin has a more upright personality than she thinks..
And the second is.
“Who are you?.”
“yes?”
“Rodelin, this is not a ruse that could have come out of your head..”
Rodelin is a strong child who knows no shortcuts..
It was only after spending a year at the Academy that I finally realized what ‘flexibility’ was, so it would be easy to guess how rigid it is..
‘But as soon as he entered second grade, he came up with this brilliant idea.?’
It's impossible..
Rodelin's feelings for the family were well known to Marquis Luke..
A child who is anxious about even putting a small scratch on his family's honor..
It reminds me of the premise that such a child embraces dishonor in his family.?
It's impossible.
It was clear that someone had given him advice..
“Well, it's not like that. This is what I thought of…….”
“I asked who it was. I asked for the second time who I was.”
This means that this is the end of your attention..
Rodelin closed her eyes tightly..
“Zero… … It's military.”
“Zero? Isn’t this the kid who made a big contribution when attacking the devil’s side?.”
“Yes, that's right. It was Zero who solved the two problems of the devil's prank..”
Originally, the story would have ended here..
However, Zero's appearance and [ominous energy]].
A hidden piece activated to reveal the relationship between the Clown and Luthus..
Rodelin's affinity for Zero.
These three things activated a new hidden piece..
“Not only does he look good, but he is also fluent in demon language. Besides, you're a suspicious guy to come up with a scheme like this at your age..”
“It's not like that! Your detective skills are just extraordinary! It was Zero who found Lutus' father, and despite his appearance, he has a warm heart.……!”
Rodelin covered her mouth..
Without even realizing it, I rebelled against the Marquis. And while shouting loudly.
“…….”
“…….”
There was a short silence..
The reason why he was embarrassed was because Marquis Luke was the same..
“Sorry, sorry. Maybe it's because I haven't been able to sleep lately, so I made a mistake.…….”
“……You look very tired. Make sure you sleep well. I will contact the first one..”
“Well, then I'll just leave, matriarch..”
The crystal communication port was stained black..
Marquis Luke looked at it for a moment and then opened his mouth..
“Albert, prepare the announcement. We'll announce it as soon as tomorrow morning, so you'll have to move quickly..”
“Yes, my lord. Should I contact the first lady??”
“Yes, write an apology as soon as possible. Please explain the situation carefully. Oh, I also tell you that this is my order..”
“All right.”
Since it is an order from the head of the family, there will be few people who harbor ill feelings towards Rodelin..
Butler Albert closed the office door and left..
There will be no mistakes. Because he has been with me for over 40 years..
“Luthers... … A precious person has passed away..”
Marquis Luke is a man who values honor..
Luther's heroic spirit was enough to touch his heart..
From the beginning, I wanted to provide at least a small place for him..
As long as there is enough justification..
‘I had a meeting with my vassals, but no matter how much I thought, there was no solution..’
But the youngest member of the family, the upright Rodelin, came up with the method..
“Risking dishonor. That is true honor... … la.”
A dark office left alone.
Suddenly, Marquis Luke burst into laughter..
This is because the image of Rodelin came to mind a little while ago..
Not only did he come with a strange plan,.
He doesn't say a word to the head of the family and even talks back to him..
“Children grow surprisingly quickly.…….”
Marquis Luke seemed to be able to sleep comfortably tonight..
