Chapter 97 – 57-2 Festival Preparations, and the Unconscious.
‘Did I go too far yesterday?’
Allen, who was sitting with her chin resting on her chin in her mended school uniform, was worried about Cordelia, who did not come to class even though her assembly time had passed for a long time.
And when Cordelia didn’t show up for her assembly, her academy students chatted and some of her female students glanced at Allen in her school uniform.
‘He keeps staring at me uneasy.’
Allen, already feeling the fervent stares of her female students, blames herself for being good-looking.
“Mirai.”
“Yes, Lord Allen.”
“What do you want to do during the festival?”
“Oh, I… I don’t know. Since it’s my first time at a festival, hehe…”
When I saw Mirai sitting next to me, smiling shyly and scratching her cheek, there was no real incarnation of cuteness.
“Is Mirai saying this is your first time at the festival?”
“Yes…”
“Then let’s have fun. Like I said in the morning, I…”
Drooling!
The loud sound of the door being opened was heard, and the tumultuous atmosphere subsided in an instant.
“Sorry for late. I don’t have much time, so I’ll explain briefly.”
When Cordelia apologizes for being late, the rest of the students except for Allen are surprised.
“First of all, it’s about the festival.”
When the story of the festival came out of Cordelia’s mouth, the school lunches were surprised for a while, and everyone seemed to be having fun and chatting lightly.
“First of all. The festival theme for Class A and Class B is theater. Since there are a lot of people, the size of the play has no choice but to be large. Also, the time to make props and decorations is tight. So if it’s after school, everyone can sit down and wait.”
‘Theater’
It was a festival theme that Allen Mestia came up with to attack Vivian.
Private meetings with Vivian were still too much. Also, every time I go to swordsmanship class, I just ignore it, so how can I attack?
It would be fine as it is if you were to use harsh words to feed aphrodisiacs and become a teaching assistant, but he thought that Vivian couldn’t easily follow her.
It was different from Cordelia, but similar.
A character who would rather die than forcefully follow.
Then there is only one answer.
I am the main character And the female lead is Vivian.
Then, while practicing for a play, wouldn’t it be that very trivial feelings sprout?
“And Allen Mestia.”
“Yes.”
Cordelia quietly calls Allen by name.
“Now that the theme has been decided, what kind of play are you going to do?”
Less than 3 weeks left.
If it was long, it was a long time, but if it was short, it was a short time.
Cordelia asks Allen, who was in charge of her planning, what kind of play she is doing.
“How about the story of the Blue Witch?”
Cordelia, who wanted to say that if she was originally, wouldn’t it be better to talk about something else, recalled that she had hit Allen in the back of the head with a bottle, and that she had made love yesterday.
“…I get it. Then she decides to play a play with the Blue Witch at the head. I’ll try to get out.”
Short but bold content inquiry.
As Cordelia proudly left the classroom, her school lunches cheered that the theme for her play had been decided to be The Tale of the Blue Witch.
Mainly female caterers.
The story of the blue witch.
In the game, it is a novel by a famous writer who is a million seller.
The content was simple.
A typical romance fantasy where a blue witch and a knight live happily together.
At first, it was just a novel that came out for killing time like other novels.
However, it must have started when a noble lady picked up a dusty copy of The Blue Witch’s Tale from a bookstore and later introduced the Blue Witch’s story at a gathering of young ladies.
Most young children are asked to marry against their will.
A noblewoman’s daughter lives such a life.
There are many families who ignore the dignity of their daughters for the sake of profit.
Is it because of this?
Aristocratic ladies see the knights resisting the world and the family, and wonder if a man like this will come to them someday? The young girls who have delusions like that appear one after another.
Culture is truly terrifying.
That would be too. Now, a year has passed since the story of the blue witch came out.
This is because there are many young girls who run away with the man they love at night, avoiding the eyes of their families.
For a while, there was an uproar in aristocratic society.
The noble council to designate the story of the blue witch as a harmful book and the publishing industry to not take away the freedom of readers.
The two groups are fierce battles that do not retreat even an inch.
Their repeated fights became parallel lines that never meshed, and eventually even the royal family intervened in the matter.
Within days of the King’s intervention, the story of the Blue Witch was still selling well.
The publishing world cheered, but they couldn’t just cheer.
Censorship.
This is because they deleted all the phrases about nobles that resonated with nobles.
After that, the revised version of the story of the blue witch came out after all censorship was over.
Of course, many people were disappointed, but they said they had fun.
But people wanted it.
The original. It wasn’t a new novel, but everyone wanted the original, which made the noble lady ecstatic.
The story of the blue witch, which had already been released in the first edition, was designated as a banned book and recovered, but not all were recovered.
Even on the black market, there were quite a few black dealers who sometimes sold the first edition of The Blue Witch’s story at a high price.
“Hey, Allen. What are you going to talk about?”
All of a sudden, female students gathered in front of Allen’s desk.
Then, when she asked what she was going to say with her expectant eyes and tone, Allen showed a soft smile.
“Well. In today’s world, there are many aristocrats who say that the story of the blue witch is poison. Also…”
Eyes that yearn for me. I know.
He didn’t say anything, but the girls look forward to it.
The first edition and the revised edition to me who brought up the play, the story of the blue witch.
The girls pressed me with threatening behavior, and the desk was pushed back little by little so that the story of the first edition came out of my mouth.
“The story of the first edition, which caused a great stir in the current society, would be frowned upon in the eyes of other nobles. But it’s a festival anyway, so it’s better to have fun.”
Everyone’s eyes are burning at Allen’s way of speaking as he spins his horse around.
“Still, since it is joint with Class B, it would be better for everyone to discuss and decide. Is it a first edition or a revised edition? Of course, I also want to show everyone the story of the first edition.”
A smile that captivates female students with a shy smile.
‘There is no one who hates romance, regardless of gender. If that’s the first edition of The Blue Witch, which became a hot topic.’
****
“Are you here, Brother Allen!”
“Don’t be loud. Noisy.”
“Ah, yes… I will be careful.”
Academy’s school gate.
There, Dice, dressed in a neat outfit, greets Allen with a loud voice as he wanders around, then hears a bitter voice.
“As you’ve heard from Maros, work under me for the next few days, Dyce.”
“What can I do, Brother Allen?”
“It’s easy. It’s so easy that even a baby can do it. You, don’t do anything.”
“…Yes? I’m here to work… Not doing anything…?”
Dyce was perplexed.
I came to work, but not to work. What the hell is this all about?
“You said you had a hard time making medicine for the past few days. I’m resting comfortably for a week. The academy told me that you are my servant, so there should be no problem.”
I was worried.
Isn’t it a sound to listen to the test?
“This is just something I say without thinking. I’m really just resting. It’s not bad to take a vacation sometimes.”
“Go… Thank you, brother Allen.”
“It’s done. Just ask for one thing.”
“Yes. Please say anything.”
“There is a dormitory for servants. Wouldn’t there be a roommate servant there?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Then make friends with them and brush your teeth. You are good at that.”
In fact, Allen had a different reason for calling Dyce.
Protagonist and female protagonist.
If you go into a play, there will definitely be a role distribution.
Of course, I had the confidence to play the main character.
However, if Vivien is not the heroine, she is the reason why I joined and the reason to play in the first place.
“Simple. During the festival, they say that A and B jointly put on a play. Well, you can say that the main character is Allen Mestia and the female lead, Vivian Araxis.”
“All right.”
Dice is good at gambling, and he was the top dealer at the Royal Casino in the first place, so it would be very easy to win people’s hearts.
And when Dice spreads rumors to the servants and gets to the ears of the people serving them, it was clear that he would want to talk about this again and tell the other meal staff.
If that’s the case, there’s a pretty good chance that Vivian will be the heroine.
Of course, she can’t help it if she refuses.
“Let’s do it, Dyce. If you can’t, you’ll get tongue-tied, you know?”
“I will do my best, young master.”
“Okay. It’s good that you brush your teeth well.”
Suddenly, Allen, who likes Dice’s demeanor, calls her brother rather than her brother, and taps Dice on the shoulder with a satisfied smile.
