The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 327

Chapter 327

The Rotary Club headquarters is in the southern part of the ecliptic.

There are few people nearby and the site is quite large, so if you live quietly here, no one will come and it is not a good place to live in complete hiding, but if you decide, you can live without being noticed by outsiders.

“You want someone to take care of?”

“yes. This is my senior. Adriana.”

“Oh hello… … .”

Adriana looked down at Loyar and bowed her head.

Adriana didn’t grow up beautifully, but she wasn’t from the imperial capital, and she was quiet only when she was living in the temple.

It was the same for Olivia, so it’s the first time I’ve seen Loyard.

Even if it’s not such a dark organization, only those who know about this place know how.

It’s the first time they’ve seen a Rotary club boss with disheveled white hair.

Even if he is in human form, Loyard is a great man who feels like a beast even when he is still because of the way he walks around.

So Olivia and Adriana were both slightly frozen when they saw the type of person they had never seen before.

More than anything, I was even more surprised to learn that I had this kind of person as my boss.

In fact, Loyard is one of the culprits who have made the ecliptic noisy now.

The main culprit of the paladin attack. Demon King Valie.

accomplice. Lycanthrope Royal.

Of course, the two cannot recognize each other. Since it was Sarkegar who rescued these two, it is also true that Loyard is new to these two.

“I think I need to stay here for a while because of work. Are you okay?”

“… … There is nothing that can’t be done.”

Royard glanced Adriana up and down, and Adriana flinched at the sight as if she had been electrocuted.

“There are no vacant rooms, but you can make one, but there are only guys here?”

The club members have gotten better these days, so they go around pretending to be people. Even though things have improved, the only one who is acting like a beggar is the boss, Loyar.

Still, since there are rough people who have gone through all the hardships of the world, Loyar seemed to be worried anew.

“There is nothing to worry about because he is a person who can take care of himself.”

“Yeah what. If you’re a kid who learned at the Temple, you’ll probably use your fists, even if you look sloppy.”

Royard didn’t bother to ask what was going on. You’ll know that I’m the one who was involved in yesterday’s incident. I looked at Adriana.

As Royard said, once he brought it, there seemed to be a good chance that it would be a difficult place for Adriana to endure.

In fact, I don’t know what kind of tendency all members of the organization are.

“If you feel uncomfortable here, I can look elsewhere.”

“Oh no. are you okay… … . Thanks Reinhardt.”

As if she couldn’t be more indebted to her than this, Adriana nodded rather than asking where she was and what she was doing.

Royard seemed to have fully understood what Adriana meant by keeping quiet here.

“Hmm… … . Where should I get a room… … .”

Royard seemed to be thinking for a moment. It’s a sign that the world is bothering you and you’re going to die.

Since you said that there are no vacant rooms, but you can make one, it sounded like you were sending someone who was doing well.

Isn’t this a bit of a sorry situation?

Royard seemed to be thinking for a while, then gestured for Adriana to follow her and opened the door at the back of the office.

-Suddenly,

“Write it here.”

“… … ?”

“?”

No matter how you look at it, Royard gave away the obvious place for his room. Olivia, Adriana, and even I couldn’t help but be surprised by that sudden decision.

“that… … . that… … . I don’t know what to call it… … . sister… … . Isn’t it a room… … ?”

“… … sister?”

“Oh that… … . Is it rude? Then how… … .”

Royard, whose eyes widened at the word sister, grabbed Adriana’s hand and dragged her into the room.

“No, you write here unconditionally.”

“… … yes?”

“Tell me if you need anything. I will prepare it right away.”

After saying that, Royard put his hands on Adriana’s shoulders.

“And from now on, I will always call you sister.”

Royard always seemed to like Adriana, whom he called her sister when he first met Ellen, who always called her aunt.

“ah… … yes. sister.”

“swimming.”

I could see Royard’s nonexistent tail wagging furiously.

It is clear that training has gone in a strange direction while listening to Ellen’s voice.

* * *

Ellen has been scratching so far that Loyard has been captured by her sister’s words, but good is good.

It was like leaving her alone in a strict place, so it was nerve-wracking, but for now, this was the best thing. Adriana is a person who shouldn’t be exposed to the outside world right now.

On the way back after entrusting Adriana to the club headquarters.

“What is the world going to be like… … .”

Olivia said that while staring blankly at the sky.

“I didn’t think everything would be okay once the demon king died.”

“… … .”

“Still, I thought that there would be no more people being taken to the battlefield and dying senselessly… … .”

Olivia, who had seen the devastation of war firsthand, would have known better than anyone how terrifying war was.

Olivia does not know about the revolutionary forces.

However, I knew that the five major religions and the empire were building another angle of confrontation, fueling a fight.

“If the Demon King is not dead, I guess there will be no killing and dying among humans.”

Olivia seemed to want the rumors of people whispering about the demon king to be true to some extent.

It is always the presence of an external enemy that stops division. Olivia seemed to have acknowledged the need for the Demon Lord to some extent self-deprecatingly.

“That sounds strange. Don’t go and tell me that I said this.”

Olivia smiles at me.

“What am I doing by saying that?”

Adriana will have to figure out what else to do soon, leaving it to the Rotary club for a while. Because the ecliptic is not absolutely safe.

far away at all.

For example, if it’s a place like Eddy or Yeoldo where Airi is, you can feel safe.

Even if I send them there, how can I explain that I have connections with that distant island country? In the first place, today’s work seemed difficult to understand.

“By the way, Reinhardt, what the heck was there today?”

If Olivia had the same question, she asked me about Rotary clubs.

“It’s like a hometown from the street.”

I briefly explained Rotary clubs.

About how you came here from a beggar organization.

“I see… … . That’s a good thing.”

Olivia smiled brightly when she heard that the beggars under the bridge were living in decent buildings and paying for their meals.

The problem is that the boss, Royal, is still a beggar.

“I was also surprised to learn that Reinhardt you were involved with some kind of criminal organization.”

I had been involved with them in the past, and it wasn’t that there was no connection with the thieves’ guild at all, but I didn’t correct Olivia’s thoughts.

Actually, now I am in the position of officially doing business through collaboration with the Merchant Guild. If you look at the rear, it’s the imperial family.

“ha… … .”

Olivia sighed as if she was worried.

Adriana’s problems, as well as your own problems, you must have a lot of thoughts. Now that Leberier Ranze is dead, there won’t be any writers trying to make Olivia Ranze prosperous. It was something I didn’t know. It must have been complicated considering the problems of the demons as well.

And again.

Olivia ended up neither winning the tournament nor being crowned Miss Temple.

Olivia, who needed money, got caught up in this and that and lost everything she wanted.

He is a person who has only experienced unfortunate things at this festival. Other work must have been stressing her out, but in the end, the money problem was also bothering Olivia.

I can’t solve all of Olivia’s problems.

But I wanted to give Olivia a little bit of strength.

“You know what?”

“Is that it?”

“A nursery school sponsored by seniors.”

“ah… … .”

“Is that in the ecliptic?”

“ah… … . huh. yes.”

“Let’s go there sometime.”

When Olivia heard me, she shook her head in amazement.

“No no Reinhardt! You don’t have to. My problem… … . You don’t have to spend money… … .”

“Who is spending the money?”

“… … uh?”

He seemed to think that I would pay for the donation he couldn’t pay. Of course, it is natural to think so.

But unfortunately I have no intention of spending money.

“I’m not going to make donations. Let me guide you first.”

“uh? ah… … . huh.”

Olivia hesitantly took the lead.

* * *

There are nurseries that Olivia personally sponsors.

First of all, it is a story that is not one.

I was sponsoring with the allowance I received from Lebarrier Ranche, but when the situation became difficult, there was no way to pay the donation.

That said, Olivia would be sponsoring only the places she was sponsoring that had financial difficulties. I won’t sponsor everything until I can afford it.

A place where it is difficult to operate without Olivia’s donations.

“Are there two other places besides here?”

“huh.”

I was standing in front of a nursery school building in a secluded area on the outskirts of the eastern part of the ecliptic.

It is not a collapsing building. However, the building itself was old and the facilities were very outdated.

However, the site was quite large, and children were running around in the central vacant lot of the three buildings.

It was a nursery without a fence, so all the children could see us approaching.

-uh? sister!

– Sister is here!

– Sister Olivia!

“ah… … Guys.”

It seems that Olivia often visited, the children rushed to Olivia.

“Nuna, my legs are all better!”

“Okay Billy. I’m glad.”

Olivia was dealing with all the children rushing in and talking about this and that.

Olivia seemed like someone who knew how to love children.

“sister! He got into a fight with Will again! Punish me!”

“really? you this guy Didn’t I tell you not to fight with your friends?”

“But he started a fight first! I’m a kid without a mother! Without a map!”

“I am, you fool! My mom is busy and can’t come!”

“You are funny! I know where your mother’s grave is!”

“this!”

“This guy! Don’t say harsh things?”

However, even though the conversation level of the children is young, there seems to be words that cut each other’s hearts. … .

yes.

Kids tend to do pad-lips surprisingly easily… … .

It was the first time I had ever seen Olivia sternly scolding, stopping, and teasing even amidst the words the kids were hacking at each other.

Somehow I thought it would be like that, but it was actually like that, so it was rather strange.

It was only for a while that they flocked to Olivia who suddenly appeared.

The kids started focusing on me.

“By the way, who is this older brother?”

“Are you my sister’s boyfriend?”

“uh? oh no… … . junior A close junior.”

Olivia blushed and shook her head.

Is your reaction completely different from usual? Of course, I thought it would be like this while being my boyfriend. There was a hint of shyness.

Why is this person’s personality different here?

“Unnie, do you like this oppa? Your face is red.”

“uh? uh huh oh no no this guy Do you want to tease your sister?”

As Olivia stuttered, the girls squealed at what was so good about it, and the boys started staring at me coldly.

I can tell just by looking into your eyes

What are you?

I don’t know if it’s actually like this, but the meaning is not very different.

“What is your brother?”

“Did hyung go to the temple too?”

“Are you good at fighting?”

In the young eyes of the boys’ enemies, I was in trouble.

My classmates are already kids enough by my standards, but they are more than that.

I don’t know Olivia, but I don’t like children and I don’t know how to deal with them.

Children are very distant from me.

When I remain silent and say nothing, the children start whispering.

-I think you’ll do well in a fight.

– It looks scary.

-No, they say guys who look like that can’t fight.

dizzy.

I’m not here to see the kids.

Is it only boys?

Girls whisper too.

-That oppa is totally my taste.

-Are you going to live off your face? You’re a lamb, just look at it. Are these guys the kind of guys who suck on women and throw them away? A man must have a lot of money money is the best

– You might have a lot of money.

– No, that’s natural dog hair. contemplation yes

– If you have enough money, you’ll marry a bald old man, then?

– Rather good. won’t die soon Then all the money is mine.

-… … Is that so?

-After that, you just need to sew a guy with a smooth face like that, you idiot.

-… … get married again?

– Why can’t you do it three times?

Kids with extraordinarily precocious speech are talking about things that even my classmates wouldn’t.

what are these guys

-But that oppa is too much for my liking… … .

– Arthur, you are a man.

-Your sister doesn’t like that brother.

-Ugh, asshole. Of course it’s a lie

what?

What do kids see, hear, and learn?

I’m not here to play. Trying to ignore the whispering as much as possible, I watch the kids’ whereabouts.

tatters.

It wasn’t even rags, but I could tell that it wasn’t an environment where there were too many extra clothes.

Overall, the kids are all skinny.

Nutritional status is also judged to be poor.

I realized that it was a nursery school with undeniably poor conditions.

Any reduction in donations, even a little, would inevitably have that much of an impact, so it was understandable seeing Olivia trying to maintain her support somehow.

“Oh, student Olivia. long time no see.”

“Ah yes. teacher.”

As the children gathered around, a middle-aged woman in a white dress came out to meet Olivia.

It was a good-looking impression. The person greeted Olivia and naturally turned his gaze to me.

“Oh Reinhardt. Greetings. This is Ms. Bell, the director of the Sunlight Cradle.”

“Oh hello. Olivia’s student’s friend… … ?”

“Yes, my name is Reinhardt.”

She reached out to me and I took her hand. It was a soft hand.

Of course you wouldn’t be in charge of this place alone, so I saw a few adults coming and going.

Director of the Cradle of Sunshine.

I don’t like kids and I don’t know how to handle them. don’t know what to do with I’m glad it doesn’t ring.

I’m not here to see the kids.

I’m not here to make donations.

I look at Olivia and say.

“Take the seniors and go over there.”

“… … huh?”

“I have something to say to the director.”

Olivia seemed a bit bewildered, but she dragged them along and headed the other way. When Olivia moved like the Pied Piper, the boys and girls flocked to her.

The director introduced himself as Bell.

“Ah Reinhardt. Do you have anything to talk about with me?”

“yes. a little bit at once Let’s go somewhere quiet.”

Since it wasn’t something to talk about in public, I followed Dr. Bell’s lead and went into the director’s office.

It was a place no one would ever hear.

“What are you talking about? Reinhard-kun?”

In front of Mr. Bell, who had a friendly smile, I smiled.

“Please explain.”

“… … yes?”

“Which way should the subsidy go through so that the kids end up like that?”

After the Great War, the imperial family immediately began providing maximum support for the orphanage project for war orphans.

“There must be enough money pouring in that the kids have to worry about obesity, so why are the kids living like this?”

Lack of support?

I knew that there was no way something like that would happen in the first place at the orphanage in the ecliptic, not anywhere else.
