Ruid lay on the bed and poked his head out from under the blanket.
I was listening to Amelia’s nagging.
“Louis, if you weren’t going home, you should have told me you weren’t going.”
“sorry.”
“Shouldn’t you tell your sister first?”
“huh.”
Ruid dozed off.
Amelia just sighed.
‘thank god.’
I was glad that Ruid thought of himself and stayed in the system.
“okay. “If you feel sleepy, stop sleeping.”
Amelia stroked Luid’s head. Ruid soon fell asleep restlessly.
Amelia crept out of Luid’s room and closed the door very carefully.
Her expression, which had been kind until a moment ago, suddenly hardened.
“The Ruid family, the Windsor family. Was it that easy?”
Sloth Confucius Ruid. This title was a famous nickname even before the Academy.
The North wasn’t closed off, and there was no one in the Duchy of Windsor who didn’t know about the rumor about the youngest prince, who would come out and sleep wherever the night of the old moon rose.
The attitude toward such younger siblings varies from person to person. Some hunters even took off their hats to show respect. Some women even quietly prayed and left.
If the children disturbed Ruid’s sleep while playing, their parents came out and scolded them harshly, telling them not to disturb Confucius’ sleep.
In general, it was such a warm response. The commoners living in the Duchy of Windsor respect and revere the people of the House of Windsor who take the initiative and risk their lives to suppress them.
The problem was the nobles who came from out of town to visit. The land mass of the duchy was large, and there were many tourist attractions.
There were many rude people among them.
He is clearly the son of the second-highest-ranking ducal family in the empire, but he treats him arbitrarily, insisting that he live without formality.
A person who wakes up a sleeping Ruid and tries to rub him together in order to somehow make a connection.
The reason there are so many people with such lack of common sense is because of the nickname ‘Sloth Confucius’.
Because the nickname ‘lazy’ has the impression of being generous.
It’s true that I don’t get angry easily. Ruid has never shouted at anyone or used his authority to be rude.
But that doesn’t mean that Ruid doesn’t feel annoyed at all.
I just hate conflict. His younger brother naturally hates fighting with others and spending his emotions.
That leads to stress. Amelia would often tell Ruid from the northern mansion, ‘If you keep holding on like that, you’ll get in trouble.’
“…I really liked Delrin’s lake.”
At the beginning of the semester, I could clearly see Ruid, who said he had found a good place and liked it.
The fact that it comes from the lake in Delrin that I like so much.
That’s how angry I was. That means I was under a lot of stress.
It means that I left the academy because it was too much for me to bear.
“I guess I should return it. “As much as it made Ruid uncomfortable.”
In the north, Irene would mercilessly dispose of robbers who disturbed Ruid’s sleep.
There was no Irene in the islands. In that case, he had to take on Irene’s role.

Office of the President of the Imperial Academy.
“…Are you saying there are no units that can be operated?”
Clifford let out a sigh.
“yes.”
Amelia answered stiffly.
“I have a case I’m currently handling.”
“Post that investigation until later. “This agenda is more important now.”
Clifford held out the document.
Amelia just stared at it and did not accept it.
“I refuse.”
She answered calmly. Clifford beat his chest in frustration.
“This is the president’s order, but aren’t you even listening to it?”
“No matter how much you are the president, you have no authority to move the investigation team.”
The academy investigators were affiliated to the imperial family according to imperial law. This is to prevent any possible corruption. In other words, the lord was the emperor, not the chancellor.
“In the first place, the academy has no authority to tell the swordsmanship club to do this or that.”
It’s not for nothing that all past Academy presidents were grand wizards.
Since the swordsmanship club doesn’t have much to touch, it seems to operate on its own. The downside was that it didn’t pay as much attention, but the advantage was that there was a degree of freedom.
In fact, most of the members of the swordsmanship club did not consider themselves to be of a lower position than the professors of the magic department.
“…Such trivial things are not important.”
“Are you saying the kidnappings that occur in the islands are trivial?”
“That’s not it. Even though you spent this much time, you still couldn’t find any evidence. “It is right for the academy investigators to focus on the academy’s work in line with the formal knights.”
“I said. The master of the swordsmanship department is His Majesty the Emperor. What needs to be given more weight is the imperial family.”
“But the result is the same! “Rather than a kidnapping, finding the warlock comes first.”
Clifford said seriously.
“Wouldn’t it be the right thing to do to destroy the dark wizard’s dirty roots before they spread into this land? “You are all right, but this is necessary.”
In other words, Clifford was telling the investigation team to find traces of the warlock the other day. Like when I asked Ruid for a favor.
“It seems like I failed… to cover up the cases I’m already in charge of. “Finding the warlock’s tail.”
“….”
Clifford had a bitter taste in his mouth. That’s right. After mobilizing the faculty, Clifford himself came forward, but was unable to confirm the identity of the warlock.

If it couldn’t be solved magically, the only way to do it was to leave it to the knights…
but that would reveal the academy’s shortcomings. It was no different from advertising that one did not have the ability to solve the problem on one’s own.
The position of the academy, which is already a frequent subject for nobles, will be further narrowed. As president of the Academy, that was the worst future I had to avoid.
“okay. You are right. How could you not help?”
Clifford honestly admitted and asked for help.
But Amelia cut it off with a single cut.
“My brother is currently in a non-academy system. “The kidnapping case is more important to me.”
That was a ridiculous statement. Who kidnapped Louis Christopher? Regardless of his noble status, his skills themselves were outstanding.
But Clifford understood Amelia’s words. she was talking ‘There is no help to give to the academy without Ruid.’ Clifford’s head was pounding.
“And, there is a different purpose for coming today.”
Amelia handed over an envelope in her arms.
Clifford took the envelope and opened it. A document with a red seal. Clifford’s pupils dilated as he read the document.
It was a certificate of cancellation of sponsorship from the Duke of Windsor.
“Windsor’s consideration ends today.”
Amelia stood up as if there was no reason to stay any longer. After giving a brief salute, he turned around and left.
Clifford looked at the document for a long time.
He froze in that position and did not move for a while.

It was around lunchtime when Ruid opened his eyes.
As soon as I woke up, I yawned long and rubbed my eyes.
The room was quiet. Miho seemed to have followed Hercy.
‘Still, I’m using it quite well.’
At first, I thought there was a lump. It is very effective when used as Hercy’s escort. Thanks to this, I was able to beat the academy. If it wasn’t for Miho, I would still be at Delrin’s lake.
“I’m hungry.”
Ruid grabbed his hungry stomach and headed to the kitchen.
The mansion was quiet. Normally, Sherry always greeted me when I woke up, but since she didn’t come, it seemed like she had gone somewhere.
Ruid arrived at the kitchen and approached the shelf. Various food ingredients were piled up. I picked up a baguette the size of Ruid’s height.
Ruid held the baguette with both hands and ate it.
…It was hard. However, I don’t dislike the fact that the more you chew, the more flavor you can feel.
I thought it would become softer if I added milk, but I didn’t need to. Because this was pretty good too.
Ruid ate the baguette in a trance with half-closed eyes. Perhaps because I eat very little, there is no sign of it decreasing.
When it seemed like it would take a long time to eat, this thought occurred to me.
‘I’ll have to eat in bed.’
But this baguette is too big.
So I tried to cut it up and take it, but I didn’t want to use magic.
For some reason, I had a desire to hit the table and break it.
Ruid doesn’t hold back his desires. Without a moment of hesitation, I picked up the baguette and slammed it on the table.
bang-!
“…uh.”
Ruid looked at the baguette with distant eyes. There wasn’t even a scratch.
…My pride is hurt. No matter how little he is, he’s still a man, so he can’t break one of these?
Ruid struck again.
puck!
“….”
But this time it didn’t break either.
“Let’s see who wins.”
Ruid started hitting the baguette several times.
bang! bang! bang!
No matter how hard it is, bread is bread. Gradually cracks began to appear. Ruid laughed while looking at the baguette.
‘Is that all?? ‘Is that all there is to it??’
Rustling –
I felt it. It was like the feeling of a warrior delivering the final blow.
At that moment, Ruid’s blue eyes caught fire. The surrounding magic power roared in response to the emotions.
Ruid raised his arm high and hit the baguette with all his might.
Bah!
The baguette broke in two and flew away. The problem is that it flew towards Ruid’s forehead.
bean.
After being hit hard, Ruid lost his balance and fell. Ruid hit his head with a blank face and looked at the baguette flying in the sky.
Drur.
“…uh.”
Of course, the baguette was a hit due to the huge pile of ingredients.
The ingredients trembled and made an unsettling sound, then rumble! and fell.
Among them, a monster baguette rolled across the floor and fell over again, causing the table to completely collapse due to the impact.
Wow!
…along with various dishes and other things.
Fortunately, Ruid’s entire body was surrounded by a light shield, so there was no pain or anything like that – but
what unfolded in Ruid’s field of vision was pure chaos.
“….”
“Luid!”
“young master!”
Amelia and Sherry entered the kitchen.
They made bewildered expressions as they looked at Ruid covered in flour and the kitchen in disarray.
Ruid slowly looked away and said.
“The fox did it.”
**
Amelia wiped Lloyd’s face with a wet towel.
Of course I was going to wash it, but I couldn’t leave it covered in flour while I was heating the water. Sherry went to prepare Ruid’s bath.
“Were you sleeping?”
“Oh, yes. “I stayed up all night.”
“Looks like Sherry didn’t sleep either.”
“Because I have to score points.”
Amelia and Sherry were said to be having a nap. So I was in pajamas.
“why?”
“Because of the incident. They say the criminal walks around at night. Rather than that, Luid. “It’s okay to make a mistake, but you shouldn’t blame it on your familiar.”
Amelia said softly and got up. I threw the towel into the laundry bin.
“Do you want me to help you?”
Ruid immediately spoke. Amelia’s body twitched. She spoke to Ruid with serious eyes.
“no. This is my successor test. Even if I’m not interested in the position, I don’t want to be recorded as a poor older sister who received help from her younger brother.”
Amelia’s exam content will be recorded forever. What achievements have you made and what have you done? What are the points deduction factors?
‘Nope.’
Ruid didn’t like that Amelia worked without being able to sleep.
I hope they can get rid of him as quickly as possible and let him rest comfortably. Health deteriorates.
However, as Amelia said, helping arbitrarily had the opposite effect.
So, Ruid decided to use a trick. He reached into the air and took out a book.
It was a blank book with a ‘non-shrinking page spell’ that I had once tried to write a novel in but had failed.
Ruid looked up at Amelia and said.
“I’m going to write a diary starting today.”
“Yes?”
Amelia was embarrassed.
“Writing a diary is something I want to do, so don’t worry about me.”
“…?”
Amelia didn’t understand Ruid’s intentions. However, what he didn’t understand was Luid, so he nodded with a puzzled face.
“Okay then.”
‘That’s it. I’ll follow along and help you secretly.’
Luid completely omitted the words ‘following Amelia around’ before saying that he was writing a diary.
