33 – Inside the names of the victims.

After making an appointment with Iris-senpai, I repeated the training I had just done.

Then I looked around and realized that the number of people who had been training had decreased by half.

Alan and his gang also seemed to have left.

I thought I should go back soon, and I left the training ground.

While passing by the academy to return to the dormitory from the training ground, I found someone I knew.

A schoolgirl with her black hair pulled down in a ponytail under her.

Ferris Valtreia.

I must have been at the training ground with Alan earlier, but now I was alone for some reason.

She looked around her with a nervous expression, then ran quickly towards the main entrance of the academy.

What is it?

That’s right, if she’s going to go back to her Coop coffin where she’s staying, she’s right there, but the nervousness oozing from her bothered me a little.

But well, unless it’s hurting us, it’s none of my business.

Thought so, I went back to the dormitory.

From nob le mt l dot com

Koop House Women’s Dormitory.

This is a dormitory for commoner female students belonging to the academy.

It was inferior to Aurum Hall, where prize nobles live, or Argen Hall, where lower-class nobles live, but compared to the houses of ordinary people, it had a living environment that could be said to be quite luxurious.

Of course, Ferris Valtreia also resides in this Coop building.

“I’m back.”

“Welcome, Ferris.”

A voice that welcomes Ferris back.

It was Aria Owen, her dorm roommate and currently suspended student.

Arya Owen, who had her hair re-arranged and cut short because of her hair that had been cut off, was looking at her Ferris.

“Aria, how are you feeling?”

“Yeah… I think I’ve gotten better.”

The day before, Arya suffered from a headache all day, and Ferris also took care of her throughout the day.

She was originally Ferris who was going to see Alan again, but she couldn’t leave her sick friend behind.

“Come to think of it, Aria.”

“What’s wrong? You look bad.”

Ferris swallowed the saliva in her mouth and opened her mouth.

“Miss Liliana, she quit the academy.”

“…Yes.”

Liliana Edwin, she was friendly with Ariana Ferris, she wasn’t very old.

Although she was a lower-ranking aristocrat, she was a hereditary aristocrat in name and reality, so when she first entered the academy, she felt like a person from a completely different world from them.

But at some point, she and they started to do more things together.

Sometimes we became close friends, and then we acted together with them, no, Alan…

“Alan thinks she quit because of Kyo Wentos.”

“Well… That’s not wrong.”

In fact, Liliana Edwin had already been told that she would not be able to continue attending the academy unless she was forgiven by Kyou Wentos.

Then, after she emptied her academy for a long time, she suddenly quit?

There are probably a lot of people who think that the Wentos family didn’t forgive them, so they had no choice but to quit.

However, Arya Owen had a different idea.

“…Of course, Miss Liliana quit on her own.”

“Yes…?”

Deep down, as people say in the public eye, Ferris, who thought that Liliana quit her academy because the Kyo Wentos family didn’t forgive her, looked at Arya in surprise.

“I mean, she was suspended and wrote a letter to her father.”

“Dear father?”

Aria’s father, Albert Owen, is a commoner, but he is a wealthy merchant who runs a large commercial enterprise in a city a little far away.

Of course, he sent his daughter, who was on the side of wealth, and had magical talents, unlike his eldest son, who he had raised as his successor, to Grancen Academy.

“My father doesn’t like inaccuracies…I just wrote everything honestly. Everything about what I did and how I was punished.”

“……”

Ferris’ face went pale.

Albert Owen was as resourceful and bold as he was successful as a merchant, but when he gets angry, he is like a volcano.

The moment he told such a person that he had attacked a nobleman from behind … I didn’t want to imagine anything after that.

“Dad… He just came in here. Then he slapped me on the cheek and got very angry.”

While Ferris was at the academy, Albert Owen stormed into the dormitory where her daughter lived.

As soon as he ran to the royal capital and saw her daughter’s face, he became angry with fire and slapped the daughter’s face, which he had never hit before.

“How the hell did you do that!! Besides, it’s the count of Wentos?!”

As Albert said, Count Wentos’ family is also a family that distributes various rare minerals from the north and precious monster materials that live in the harsh environment of the north.

In other words, it was also a customer that merchants could not miss.

Albert Owen was also dealing with the Countess of Wentos, so he was worried and worried about the dire consequences of his daughter’s actions.

In the end, Albert Owen, who met his daughter once again that day and heard the detailed story, ran directly to the Earldom of Wentos.

The county somehow arrived after enduring the cold weather of the county.

When I met the count with all sorts of items prepared for apology, he said with a slightly serious expression.

“He didn’t say anything like that in the letter…”

“That…My daughter has done a really great disrespect…What can I say…”

“…So, are you seriously hurt?”

“No…No! Rather, he blocked the magic and even counterattacked… You had a really good son…”

Albert Owen’s words were drowned out by Count Wentos’ loud laughter.

“hahahahaha!! He’s my son, it’s worth training!”

“…Yes?”

“So, was your daughter punished?”

“Ah…Yes! He said he turned himself in and was suspended from school for a month…”

“I see.”

Well, if the academy has already issued a disposition, I have nothing else to say.

Count Wentos looked at Albert after talking to himself like that.

Then he opened his mouth.

“Well, wouldn’t it be funny that the person who would become my father came this far with a gift, and then went on a rampage because I couldn’t forgive him?”

“That…Is that…?”

“Owen’s Merchant is also an important business partner for our count family, and unless my son is seriously injured, there is no need to get along very badly.”

After saying that, Count Wentos readily forgives Arya for her actions.

Feeling a little bewildered, Albert Owen came back feeling much better and told the whole story to his daughter.

“This is a family that is generous with people like me who ambushed their son from behind.”

“That…Is it?”

To be honest, it was unexpected for Ferris.

The Ferris family runs a clothing store, mainly for aristocrats.

As a result, he faced aristocrats a lot, but most of the aristocrats Ferris knew had a strong tendency to go on a rampage even if they were slightly damaged.

“But you don’t think you can forgive me for continuing to attend the academy?”

“That…That’s… That’s right.”

“Perhaps, whether it’s Miss Liliana’s will or family circumstances, it’s probably correct to say that she quit on her own?”

After listening to Arya’s story, it was Ferris who somehow thought it was the same.

But even if she thought Ariana Ferris did, there was someone she wouldn’t think so.

“But Mr. Alan seemed to strongly believe that Mr. Kyo Wentos was the cause.”

“…Even if he thinks so, there’s nothing he can do about it. Leave him alone.”

“Yes. That’s why I’m training hard to defeat him at Musinje.”

“Musin Festival? Ah…Come to think of it, next week was the Musin Festival.”

Musinje is a big festival that takes place for three days with the birthday of the god of war in the middle.

The number of customers in the royal capital is increasing, and for merchants, it is an opportunity to earn big, just like the day of the founding of the kingdom or the birthday of the first emperor.

Arya is also the daughter of a merchant, and she has been to Musinje many times.

“Aria thinks she can participate in the Goddess Festival?”

“It’s okay if it’s just sightseeing. It’s not a festival held at the academy.”

“Then would you like to go around together? It’s been a while since I met Alan…”

“…Ah, that’s okay.”

Aria said with a slightly dark expression.

“…For some reason, I feel like I shouldn’t see Alan anymore…”

The next day, while I was having breakfast, Phyllis approached me.

“Brother.”

“Phyllis, what’s up?”

Phyllis held out an envelope.

“This is a letter. The sender is Lady Eve.”

“Mr. Eve?”

Come to think of it, she said that if you go to the Duchy of Ignis, she will tell you the progress.

Still, isn’t something too fast…?

I opened the letter and read it.

“……”

I could feel my face hardening as I read the letter.

That’s because the content of the letter was more serious than I thought.

“Bocchan?”

“…Huh, this is so…”

As I handed the letter to Phyllis, Phyllis looked at me.

When she nodded that she could read it, Phyllis looked at the letter.

And Phyllis’ expression also became serious.

“Boss, what the hell is this…”

“I don’t know, hey, this is crazy…?”

With the exception of six of the servants and soldiers of the duke’s mansion, all of them are in a state of unconsciousness.

This alone is shocking enough.

The names of important people among the unconscious personnel were also written there.

A name I don’t know, such as the head maid or head butler.

And…

To be honest, I didn’t think Alan did it of his own volition, even if he was the culprit.

He never did anything like that, and when he saw this guy’s actions, he thought he was a guy who thoughtlessly did whatever he felt like.

So, after listening to the stories of Riel, Eve, and Phyllis, I was picking one person to suspect the most.

Introducing Alan to the duke’s family, secretly expelling Phyllis, etc…

But the name…

‘Albert Ludwig’

Because that name was among the names of important people in the duke’s mansion who fell into a state of stupor.
