How to Survive at the Academy Chapter 249

epilogue (2)

“Whoa…”

Tracyana’s face was already bluish as she got off the carriage.

After arriving at the Sylvania Academy after running for a long time in a wagon, the mission he received as soon as he was appointed was to go all the way to the Roth Taylor estate and find Professor Ed. I wish there were all these absurd things, but it was inevitable.

Tracyana took a wooden bag full of papers and got off in front of the Ross Taylor mansion.

He had been riding in a wagon for several days, and he felt dizzy at any moment. However, once it arrived, I’m glad it arrived.

“…I heard that it was broken a lot during the advent of Mebula, but there’s no sign of that here anymore…”

Ross Taylor Manor was much larger than it had been under Crepin’s management. Actually, it was just that.

There was a precarious period, but in the end, the duchy succeeded in being revived as a knight by the next head of the family, Tanya Rosteiler, and her brother, Ed Rosteiler.

They are protected by powerful forces within the empire, have succeeded in preserving their original authority, and are armed with many strong people.

If you think about it like that, it felt natural that the Duke of Ross-Taylor would continue to live in its heyday.

“I was contacted in advance, but what is the sudden arrival of the Bloomriver family lady?”

After being guided by the vassals and entering, a familiar face greeted me.

It is usually the role of the head butler or head maid to politely greet guests with four or five servants.

“…Why is Mr. Bell here?”

“It’s been a while, Miss Tracyana. He almost didn’t recognize me because he became so mature and dependable that he was incomparable to when he was in Ophelis Hall.”

“Were you scouted by the Ross Taylors? Mr. Bell?”

“yes? No, it’s not that grandiose, but…”

As soon as she arrived at the Roth Taylor mansion, Tracyana was happy to meet someone she had an old acquaintance with, but no matter how much, she did not expect Bell to pop out.

Belle Maia is the chief maid who manages Ophelis Hall, the highest-ranking dormitory. She took pride in her work and was not one to be scouted easily, as she was not obsessed with money.

In fact, Elte Firm tried to get her out several times, but rumors circulated that it failed several times. She had a strong feeling that she would decide where to live for herself.

“Actually… I’ve had a lot of offers similar to Scout’s. It was rejected every time. Even if you don’t have to be the Duke of Roth Taylor.”

“Then why are you doing unreasonable things for the butler here?”

“Well… Actually, it’s a bit much to say the least, but I tend to have a bit of responsibility. I think I have to be in charge, and if there is something I have to do, I have to take responsibility until the end. So… there is something I want to be responsible for… For now, I’m leaving the work on the Ophelis Hall to my successor, and I’m coming out here.”

Maid Jean-Belle Maia is a servant, but she is competent enough to be treated as an executive even within Sylvania.

Once seated at the top, it handles personnel management, financial management, mansion management, household management, VIP reception, and even minor government duties, and has a fairly high level of combat capability.

He was a person who couldn’t take him from various aristocratic or influential families because there was no talent like him as a staff member. However, the more such a person is, the more carefully he chooses the person he needs to serve.

“Currently, I have two owners, Tanya Rosteiler and Ed Rosteiler, so I am only in charge of the undergraduate work as an advisor.”

“is it so…? What it means to be responsible… I won’t ask. First of all, I’m having a hard time riding the wagon for too long. Can I go inside and take a break and talk about business?”

“of course. I will guide you myself.”

Tracyana passed the bag full of papers to the attendants and wiped away the sweat. I’ve been moving and moving for the past few days. It was already exhausted.

Tracyana followed Belle Maia into the mansion without saying a long word.

*Once you come to the duke’s residence, it is polite to meet and greet the head of the household in charge of the place.

Consisting of a stately main building, two not-so-small annexes, and a tall spire standing in the center, the Duchess Roth-Tyler’s residence was much larger than it was in its heyday. It was to the point of getting lost if you were not careful.

In addition to being the continent’s largest duke, he has recently gathered authority that pierces the sky, and in fact has risen to the ranks of the most prestigious family next to the Chloe family. The scale of the mansion, which is almost the size of a palace, is understandable.

“Since you have come to the mansion as an honored guest, please say hello to Master Tanya.”

The owner of this mansion, Duchess Tanya Rosteyler, is a student at Sylvania Academy and the student council president.

During the school year, he comes to the academy to entrust the management of the mansion and basic family duties to the main retainers, but during vacations like now, he is said to be confined to the duke’s residence and takes care of family affairs.

It’s such a huge schedule that it makes you wonder if you have two bodies, but seeing that you’re actually doing it, I thought Tanya herself was a person of great ability.

“Right now, several distinguished guests are visiting the Duchess of Roth Taylor. There must be some people who are old friends with Miss Tracyana, so if you run into them, you shouldn’t be too embarrassed.”

“Are you the guests? What’s going on?”

“no. It’s just that the duke’s residence is always visited by distinguished guests. It is a place where the best people from all over the empire come out whenever they have a chance, so I recommend that you always pay attention to your appearance.”

A place where you can meet distinguished guests who are hard to see even in the imperial family.

For the maids, it was an almost hellish work environment. It always had to be perfect, and it is a place where even small mistakes are not tolerated.

Belle Mya, who was wearing a maid’s coat in such a place, was also not an ordinary person, but Tracyana knew at least that she was an extraordinary person.

“Miss Tracyana, the daughter of the Bloomriver family, is of course a great honored guest.”

I didn’t forget to add that, in case it felt like I was looking down on the other person. Belle Maia was a possessor of life skills that did not miss even the smallest detail.

“Thank you for saying that, but… Actually, I did not come today as the daughter of the Bloomriver family.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. Today, as an assistant professor at the Sylvania Academy, I’m here to find Professor Ed. I have something to tell you about work soon.”

Tracyana became an assistant professor. Bell Maia did not show a sign of surprise at that fact.

Because if you do it wrong, it can be an ignorance. He calmly accepted it as it was, and lowered his head with his eyes closed.

“I’m sorry, but our maids can’t accurately judge Master Ed’s future.”

“yes? is it so?”

“yes. He is a person who moves in an unusual way, so if he suddenly appears at the mansion… at some point he will return to Aken Island again.”

“I searched every nook and cranny of Aken Island, but I couldn’t find it. So I came.”

“Is that so… Originally, the master tends to take care of everything he wants to do in advance, but he made me take steps like this. I will post an apology on behalf of the master.”

To Bell Maia, who politely greeted her, Tracyana waved her hand as if it were embarrassing. It is befitting of a first-class maid to handle the work as if she would not leave even the slightest resentment towards her master.

However, because he always had a strong image of being the captain in charge of the Ophelis building, it was refreshing to see someone pick one person and follow him as ‘master’.

It was because he never thought that Bell Maia would entrust himself to someone. To be precise, there weren’t many people who had the tools to deal with such talented people.

A competent staff member sometimes eats even his master. A person with a smaller bowl cannot embrace a person with a larger bowl than himself.

“Still… it doesn’t look like you’re on Aken Island, so it would be appropriate to look for the Duke Roth Taylor’s residence first. It looks wider than I thought, so it doesn’t look easy, but…”

“I will inform the users. Then, head towards the main building where Master Tanya’s reception room is…”

It was then.

The spire plaza surrounded by the main building and the annex building. The two servants, wearing four or five names, looked toward the main building and quickly turned their heads.

It was because the large door of the Roth Taylor’s main building had just opened, and an honored guest was coming out escorted by servants.

The one whom Tracyana had heard of had walked out among the vassals, wearing a red dress and brushing her pink braided hair.

Belle Maia lowered her head, and the people around her lowered their heads in unison.

Among the vassals protecting the Duke of Ross-Tyler, there is a Spiritualist with a strength that is different from that of the Ark.

Baroness Yenica Failover.

He manages the Croton Mountains at the southern end of Ross Taylor’s territory, and is revered like an angel by the people of the region…

In fact, she was a girl who was one of the best forces to protect this Roth Taylor estate.

Compared to when he was in Sylvania, his youthful appearance has disappeared, but his immature and lively appearance is still the same. Since he was originally from a commoner, he is popular with the locals, and there are no bad rumors going around among the VIPs.

A heavenly girl who smiles broadly at everything in the world. That was the evaluation Tracyana gave when she first saw Yenica Failover, but even after several years, that doesn’t seem to have changed.

It was so consistent that it was rather reassuring.

“Hey, Tracyana senior!”

I don’t know if she was conscious of the fact that she was a baroness whom the locals looked up to.

She yanked up the hem of her dress and ran down the stairs with frequent steps. The servants who followed him quickly caught up with puzzled faces.

“It’s been a while, what happened to the Ross Taylor Mansion!”

The fact that Yenica Failover still remembered Tracyana’s face was unexpectedly thrilling.

Although it was a senior position during the Ministry of Magic, it was because there had not been that much exchange.

First of all, she was a senior during her school days, and now she was Tracy, who was in the position of a daughter of a viscount, so she did not lower her head.

“Yenika… long time no see. I heard that he was given the title of baron, but I never thought he would be treated so kindly…”

“yes? Well, that… It’s a position that is uniquely treated in the Los Taylor estate…”

In fact, she is at the forefront of protecting the territory, and is protected by both Tanya and Ed.

Although he was a baron, he was treated almost like a duke under the protection of the two.

In addition, since she was in a position where she was receiving love from Young Ji-min, Yenica would always lower her head in embarrassment wherever she went. Even if she shouts her name, she quickly draws the curtains of the carriage and hides inside her, and stamps her feet in dismay at the hospitality of her servants…

It is said that sometimes the workers roll up their arms and try to wash or wash the dishes, so the servants are surprised and fall out.

It’s worth getting used to after two years, but Jenika’s original nature is that she can never take off her commoner t-shirt.

Rather, I thought that that part was like Jenika, and Tracyana was rather relieved. Although it might be rude to Jenika herself.

“Are you on your way to visit Master Tanya?”

When Bell asked, Yenika shook her head thoughtfully.

That Tanya is not there.

Upon hearing that story, Bell Maia held back a sigh.

With Tracyana by her side, for now, she protects the authority of her master.

But… Tracyana already noticed. As rumors go around that she is Tanya, she is not a perfect superhuman… She already knew vaguely when she was a bachelor.

* There was a refreshment table in one corner of the neatly maintained Roth Taylor mansion.

Yenika sat on one side and tapped the beak of the sparrow-shaped wind spirit sitting on her shoulder, then raised her finger above her head and sent it flying.

In the past and now, she is a girl who is strangely loved by the spirits.

“Actually, after I joined the Ross Taylor family as a vassal, I always meet people I meet again. It was so nice to see an alumni after a long time.”

Yenica smiled and said that to Traceana.

“okay?”

“Yes, of course, it is full of good people who are too deserving of me…”

The refreshments on the dessert tray are high-end, no matter how you look at them. I had only come to look for Ed for a while, but I had no idea that he would treat me so kindly.

It looked like first-class bakers were working in the kitchen. Tracyana had an eye for the quality of refreshments.

“Anyway, you are really treated well. It feels like all the employees are watching you.”

“Yes…? I’m worried too. To be honest, I don’t need to treat you so politely… Even if it’s just a minor mistake, they’ll apologize like you’re dying. The baronial complex has already been around for quite some time, and I still can’t get used to it…”

What kind of treatment would he be receiving at the private mansion in Baron Perilover? If you go all the way there, Yenika is the owner of the mansion.

By this point, he was starting to worry about Jenika.

“Sometimes I feel that way. Did I fit into a place like this? I wonder if I am being praised too much for just doing what I have to do…”

“Well, don’t worry about that, Yenika. It’s not an empty word, it really suits you. You are much more like an honored guest than I am.”

“Yeah, is that so?” “Yeah. Even when she came out of the main mansion earlier, she was startled. She really thought she was a duchess of some kind.”

At those words, Jenika suddenly blushed and spoke.

“Oh, the Duchess…! What should I do if I say such a thing carelessly!”

“…?”

“…”

“…”

Then, Yenika glanced around for a while, then subtly lowered her head and spoke softly.

“Gee, really?”

“What, that reaction… wasn’t it that you and Ed dated in school days in the first place?”

“Well, it wasn’t like that… Should I say it was a relationship that was close to that or not… Since Ed is so busy, wouldn’t it be too much of a step forward to force such a relationship rule… Even if I heard this or not… that kind of thing…”

When Yenica blushed and said that, Tracyana quickly figured out the situation.

In the first place, this woman is kind enough to be nice, and if she wants to fall in love with her, she is a style that removes everything from liver and gallbladder.

Ed isn’t that kind of person, but it’s perfect to be the heroine in a tragedy where she plays as she pleases and then gets thrown out of the way.

Tracyana took a mouthful of tea and spoke with half-moon eyes open.

“At that point, start dating soon… Even if you’re like that, a man who has come this far and doesn’t even properly regulate relationships is trash…”

“Eh, don’t curse Ed…”

“…I’m sorry.”

In fact, the other guy’s bowl is too big to blame. When it comes to the owner of the Roth-Taylor family, it is difficult to treat him as an equal, no matter how much he holds the title of baron.

In fact, I don’t think there’s anything like authority between Ed and Jenika, but if it goes beyond a relationship between a man and a woman and becomes a marriage relationship, it’s a different story.

“You feel a sense of crisis. Now that he has succeeded enough to succeed, there will be a lot of writers who are targeting Professor Ed. At that time, will you regret it after saying, “Oh, you should have acted more aggressively?”

“Uh, since you talk so directly…it’s hard to say…”

Yenika shook her head and spoke with difficulty.

“Certainly, there are a lot of women of one kind or another coming and going at Duke Roth Taylor’s residence… I also felt a bit of a sense of crisis…”

“okay? That’s… definitely a big step forward.”

“But, they are all people who say they are the best… Last week, didn’t Saint Clarisse come just to see her face, and Lortel, the owner of Elte Firm, suddenly stormed in…”

They are so big that you can break out in a cold sweat just by hearing their name.

He paid a moment of silence for the servants who worked at the Ross Taylor Mansion. Every day will feel like walking on thin ice.

“Shouldn’t I say that it’s rather daunting… After Ed has become such an amazing person, I wonder if he would fit in with someone like me…”

“…okay?”

“And, this… um… I don’t know how to talk about it…”

Yenica glances around again, then lowers her voice and speaks.

“It is said that when you become the owner of a ducal family, it is common for you to take on multiple women by yourself…?”

“…Yenika…”

“Hey, please don’t look at me like that. Yes, I know Ed isn’t just that riotous. Still, maybe that… if that happens… can I join in…? Sometimes I feel like that, sometimes I don’t, and then I don’t want to do it again, so it’s a little bit like that, but to think like that is so little… It feels like my morals can’t follow in the first place… But if I don’t think about that possibility in advance. ..”

“…”

Seeing Jenika talking gibberish, Tracyana was speechless.

What would be good for her to act to become a concubine in the first place? It wasn’t that I was ignorant of Yenica’s character, with her low self-esteem compared to her outstanding abilities, but this wasn’t it either.

“It’s something I shouldn’t be too sure about, but at least to Professor Ed, Jenika, you’re special enough. You can have more self-esteem.”

“That, that, that, thank you so much for saying that… hehe…”

Tracyana lamented as she watched Yenika’s lips curl up for no reason.

“So, you should think about becoming a suitable companion. To be honest, Yenika, if you lie down and look at me, Professor Ed will look at you right away.”

“That’s true, but then Ed is in trouble…”

“…”

“I don’t want Ed to be a nuisance under any circumstances. I would like to help if possible…”

I don’t know the pure personality like that white paper. Tracy Ana almost lost her mind.

To a snob herself, such a celestial girl, Jenika, doesn’t match well…!

“Yeah… Whatever way you think of it, Jenika is free. I’m not going to say anything about it. However, it is good to see him falling into jealousy after losing Professor Ed to another woman…”

“That, that’s…”

Yenika, too, couldn’t answer Tracyana’s words hastily, as if there was something she was worried about.

Of course, it is said that all kinds of women come and go to Ed’s mansion. Some will even seriously try to snatch Ed. Even Tracyana noticed that much.

In fact, even Yenica was aware of the fact that Ed had a lot of spare clothes. Most of her didn’t build rapport as well as Yenica. But even so, it was never something to be relieved of.

Perhaps the person who is stimulating Jenika’s nerves more than anyone else…

“hi.”

When I heard a dull voice, I turned my head around.

The little girl who appeared with the help of two maids was a person no one would have known about if she had attended Sylvania Academy.

Lucy Meiril, a rare genius wizard.

Rumors circulated that he had left Sylvania and had entrusted himself to the Ross Taylor mansion. So the rumors were true.

“Lou, Lucy?”

“huh. hi.”

– ‘This is the daughter of the Bloomriver family. A little more… You need to have a special exchange.’

– ‘This kind of opportunity is rare! Let’s approach each other in a more friendly way…!’

A maid standing behind Lucy carefully lowered her head and whispered in Lucy’s ear.

Lucy came to one side of the refreshment table and sat down with a face that seemed to be annoying in the world, and buried her head on the table.

Her attire was a neat social dress, and her hair was shiny and neatly curled.

I didn’t know it when I was rolling on the grass in a school uniform that wasn’t the right size and wearing an old witch hat, but Lucy looked pretty young and pretty when she was dressed up.

– ‘You have to make your body a little more elegant. It’s rude in front of the Viscount Lady.’

The maid who kept whispering behind me was worried.

– ‘If you want to interact more with the distinguished guests, you must act dignifiedly. Now, straighten your back.’

Lucy straightened her back with an expression that the world would die. There was little blood on his face.

“…”

Tresiana watched the scene and was at a loss for words.

In the past and now, Lucy was the same.
