The Villainess in the Romance Fantasy Is Strange

15. 17 Years old, to the academy (1)

“…… Keep your torso. What time is it now?”

A quiet night. I was quietly reading a book in my room in the Eleves family’s mansion.

Not even a child. Now that I’m 17 years old, how come my actions are more lively than when I was 10?

I want my body to mature as much as I did, and the behavior of an aristocratic girl. She needs to be dignified, but Lia doesn’t have that, so this is Won.

“Oh, I don’t know. I’m not sure about that! Now that I’m 17, hurry up and get engaged to me as you promised when you were young!”

Leah stretches out her hand in front of her and whips it up and down, as if Leah wants her to come and take her.

It was a frivolous act that couldn’t be seen in the appearance of an aristocratic lady, so I sighed deeply and pressed my temple with my index finger and thumb.

“Lia-sama.”

“Yeah, why?”

“Why, not. How many times must I have told you? In the Bern Academy, where Lia-nim will be enrolled, you shouldn’t be treated lightly like that.”

The first imperial academy established by the empire, commonly referred to as the ‘Bern Academy’, is not just a place of learning.

A sign that is said to be the head of each region, as well as the imperial family and nobility. And even commoners who have proven their worth. Because it is a place of religious society recognized by the Empire, in which anyone who meets the qualifications can enter.

If you did it the way you treated me when you met the same students after admission. It was obvious that he would hear behind the scenes, ‘He’s an aristocrat, but he doesn’t even know how to treat people.’

So, let the tomboy girl Lia have a smooth academy life. From the year she turned fourteen, she taught me manners one by one. As if my efforts were futile, Leah hasn’t changed much since she was 14 years old.

“Don’t worry, Cain. Didn’t the tutor say that a while ago? My manners are impeccably perfect.”

No, she seems to have become more of a tomboy than before she learned etiquette…… ?

“That’s right, because you got paid. Didn’t you say that for Lia-sama’s sake?”

“What are you talking about? It’s not like that. Am I only doing this in front of Cain, because I am very polite when I am with others?”

How well I’ve done so far. Acting gracefully in front of others, but only showing off in front of me?

Of course it’s a lie, but if it’s true, there won’t be another tomboy girl like that. I let out a deep sigh.

“So, what is the main point?”

“Huh? Main subject?”

“Yes, to the point. It’s unlikely that Lia-sama stopped by my room on New Year’s Day on January 1st to talk about trivial things like this.”

I looked at Leah while talking about a story I had been repeating for six years, no, seven years this year.

Leah didn’t say anything and she came closer to me. She pointed to the frame of her spectacles I was wearing, she said.

“Cain. Do you know how intelligent you look when you wear glasses?”

“Yes? What is that all of a sudden?”

“Wait a minute, wake up like this.”

Leah kept pulling me by the hem of my clothes, so she stood up countless times.

Over the past seven years, my height has grown day by day, and now Leah, who is about a head taller than me, raises her head and looks up at me.

“… ….”

To my face, shoulders and chest. Then, Lia’s cheeks, which were frantically scanning her face one after another, suddenly turned red.

I wondered if there was a sudden fever, so I reached out and touched Leah’s forehead. At that moment, Lia snapped back and she huffed and cleared her throat.

“All right, all right. You can sit down now.”

“Your face is red, but you have a fever.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s because of you, Cain, that I turned red…….”

I couldn’t quite understand what he was talking about, but Lia often behaved strangely.

“——Hmm, you know. Cain?”

“Yes.”

“As expected, I can’t give it to anyone. You are too handsome to give to others!”

“…… Yes?”

“You, Cain, will continue to be mine.”

“… ….”

Since when was an escort knight an existence that individuals could claim ownership of?

I was stunned for a moment by seeing Lia’s villainous appearance, treating people like objects.

Chuck, Leah pointed her index finger at me.

“So, even if you enter the academy, don’t lose sight of it. Just look at me unconditionally! Got it-?”

Lia, who had bitten her tongue while talking, stuck out her tongue.

“Yes, I understand. I’m Lia-sama’s escort knight.”

“…… Oh, good to know. Good night, Cain!”

I tried to reply, ‘Have a nice dream too, Lia-sama.’ But Lia ran out of my room in her arms, probably embarrassed that I had bitten her tongue.

I looked at the closed door and smiled.

“I really… ….”

How can people be the same? Compared to when I was ten years old, nothing has changed.

“Ah.”

No. That’s not it. Because her breasts had fallen off, her features had become more prominent, and her beauty had become even more beautiful.

Perhaps, if nothing happens, if she grows up smoothly, she will be the most beautiful woman in the empire by the time she is 20, as described in the original work.

She thought for a moment, then took out a notebook from her bookshelf and opened it.

This is a summary of the things I researched from when I was 10 years old to now when I was 17 years old. My own information notebook with a lot of information beautifully summarized.

At the end of it, a list of ‘students and instructors presumed to be members of the cult, who are in hiding at the Bern Academy’ is densely listed.

The total number of students and instructors currently enrolled at Bern Academy is approximately 3,000. Excluding the number of students graduating from among them, if you add the newly admitted students, the number is about 2950.

And, of those 2,950 people, there are about 300 who are believed to be members of the church, so even if you calculate that one person will complete the investigation every two days, it will take two years.

“Hmm.”

I expected it to be a long-term battle, but I never thought there would be so many.

Tak, I closed the book and took off my glasses. And she closed her eyes.

Something innovative is needed. A groundbreaking method that can drastically reduce the investigation period.

…… What else could there be? I thought about it for a while, but I can’t come up with a good way.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally got up on the bed and lay down.

“Ummm… ….”

A good way, a good way to reduce the research period.

Since I kept thinking about that, I went to bed before I knew it.

Like that, after a month of worrying without an answer.

[Dear Kain Reinhardt, who will be the second-ranked student at Bern Academy.]

The day after I took the entrance exam for the academy, an idea suddenly came to me after receiving a letter from the Eleves family.

“…… Ah, this!”

“Uh, huh? What is this?”

Lea asked as she sat on the sofa in the drawing room and glanced at me.

I went to Lia’s side and showed her the letter I received.

“Lia-sama. Did you know that the first and second freshmen entering Bern Academy are given priority to enter the student council?”

“Ah. Ugh, did I get a letter too? So I know, but why all of a sudden? Didn’t you, Cain, say you weren’t interested in things like the student council?”

Fluttering, Lia waved a letter with the words [To Leah von Eleves, who will be the top student at Bern Academy.] At the beginning.

“Yes, I did. I guess I’ll have to pay some attention from now on.”

I responded immediately and briefly explained my plan.

“There are people who are presumed to be members of the church hiding inside the Bern Academy, and the number is estimated to be around 300. Do you know Lia well?”

“Yeah, what about that?”

“By the way, if we investigate about 300 people one by one, we will probably not have enough time to investigate until we graduate from Bern Academy. Therefore.”

Tuk-tuk, I tapped the middle of the letter with my finger.

There was a phrase written on it that said, ‘priority to join the student council,’ which is the right of the first and second freshmen.

“Ah, that’s right. It’s hard to investigate by ourselves, so let’s enlist the help of people from the student council?”

“It’s similar, but to be precise, it’s not that I’m getting help from the student council. Right now, there are some students who are suspected of being believers among the executives of the student council.”

“Umm, then?”

“As Lia-nim knows. The main tasks of the Bern Academy Student Council are audits, inspections, and budgeting and execution. We will use it.”

If it’s a normal student council, there’s no such thing as absolute power. The story is different if it is the student council of the academy in the romance fantasy world.

If an ordinary student commits a mistake, the student council executives will be tried, but if the student council executive commits a mistake, the punishment will be nothing more than a cotton bat through an internal investigation.

It is also possible for the executives of the student council to wander about as they please under the pretext of auditing and inspecting whether or not the budget allocated to each group is being executed according to the budget plan.

In other words, it is literally the academy’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.

After hearing my explanation, Lia’s eyes lit up.

“Oh, that’s right. So Cain said, after we took over the student council executives. Are you talking about wielding power at random?”

“…… No, it’s not about wielding power. It’s a story about using the advantage of being a member of the student council to find out the members of the church.”

“Okay, okay! Cain, trust me! I’m good at wielding subordinates again!”

Perhaps she understood my words correctly, Leah jumped up from her seat as if her enthusiasm was overflowing.

“Let’s go, Cain! Hurry up and go to Bern Academy, and see how terrifying Leah von Eleves and Cain Reinhardt are. I’m going to show it to all the students!”

From noble mtl dot com

“The entrance ceremony is in a month, Miss Lia.”

“Oh! I see Then, should I show you in a month?”

“Yes, it is. In one month.”

“But, what I show you after a month is what I show you. What does it mean specifically to use the advantage of being a student council member?”

Lia, who spoke softly, stabbed her to the core.

I corrected my posture, clasped my hands, and brought them to my mouth.

“…… I have an amazing plan.”
