“Aang!”
“Hoo… this is quite… ”

Magdalena ate the delicious cake while wiping the whipped cream from her mouth.
On the other hand, in the case of Chris, even in this situation, he was politely cutting the shrimp and putting it in his mouth, showing a sense of dignity.
“Not bad, where the hell did you get it from? I’ve never heard of a store that sells something like this, even within the academy.”
“It’s a newly opened store. The place is a bit out of the way, but it sells so many delicious things that you wait in line.”
“As expected, Magdalena. One of these is a really good question. This is enough to make you admire.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“ha… ”
The ladies are having a good time while eating the desserts they brought here.
Looking at them, Pete, who is the youngest among them and the only one with a clear mind, sighed heavily as he felt that somehow he had been victimized today.
at that time.
“Anyway, thanks to the hard work, I ate well, Pete.”
Chris expresses his gratitude to Pete in a soft voice.
At those words, for some reason, Pete felt that the dissatisfaction he had so far had softened a little, and he said with a slight blush.
“Well, after all, a bet is a bet… ”
“Yes, because a bet is a bet. To be precise, it would be an expression of interest rather than a bet.”
“! ah… no that’s… ”
“An expression of interest… What does that mean?”
Pete expresses his bewilderment at Magdalena’s words
Chris questioning.
Seeing them like this, Magdalena responded with a light smile as if she was having fun.
“Whoops, nothing. I’ll get to know it slowly over time. President.”

Magdalena cuts off the story in such an appropriate line and continues to have fun alone.
Then, she spoke to Shaul, who was sitting across from her, to make it clear.
“By the way, Shaul. Something strange happened earlier, didn’t you do something? What the hell is that?”
“Umm… that’s it. Surely something strange had happened. this shaul. It was the first time I had heard such an unusual story while working as the academy treasurer.”
“What the hell is going on?”
The girls feel even deeper doubts about Shaul’s words.
Regarding this, Shaul put down the egg tart he was eating for a moment and spoke with a rather serious expression on his face.
“This is the story that the students of the leadership division told us this time. Somewhere in our academy, it is said that there is an item that can summon a god who grants wishes.”
“The wish is granted… ”
“god?”
Surprisingly, it seems to have a little scale,
At the same time, they begin to show some interest in the story that appeals to them.
Regarding this, Shaul continued to speak quite seriously.
“It is. To be honest, I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but I heard that some students are prowling all over the academy because of it. Because of that, the leadership team is saying that it is a headache here and there.”
“… You mean something like that?”
“This is not very good news, that students are chasing false goals without paying attention to the main body of study.”
“That said, it’s a pretty interesting story.”
Shaul, who shows interest and talks.
Regarding this, Magdalena said with an uncharacteristic serious smile on her lips.
“I agree. To be honest, that’s really unlikely, but if it’s true, it’ll be worth the hard work. And from our point of view, we have to work hard to stop it.”
“yes? Why is that? Surely the story itself is fanciful, but wouldn’t it be nice if it were true and really made one wish come true?”
Pete expresses his doubts about Magdalena’s words.
In response, Maldalena stroked the younger uncle’s head and said in a light tone.
“As expected, he’s still naive. How can my uncle do this because he doesn’t know what’s going on in the world?”
“… Yeah? what is that… ”
Pete’s attitude that he doesn’t understand. Seeing this, Magdalena spoke in a more serious voice, like an older sister who teaches the world.
“It’s a pity, but nothing in this world comes for free. In order to achieve something, there must be a price for it. You have to pay for a piece of cake at the store right now. Doesn’t granting a wish mean that you have to pay something in return? That is something unusual.”
“Life span or soul. Serious stories can come out of anything.”
“Um… ”
Pete has no choice but to admit Magdalena’s words, which have a lot of meaning.

Meanwhile, while listening to their conversation, Chris spoke to them in a voice that felt cold.
“Even if it’s not the case, it would be correct to assume that granting a vague wish has some kind of trap in itself. In any case, regardless of whether this is true or not, if it is at the level where the leadership is excited, it will be necessary to investigate.”
“I agree. That would be much better than trying to sort things out after something strange happens.”
As a student council, they are responsible for managing the inside of the academy.
Of course, the leading team had the primary responsibility, but according to Shaul, the leading team was maintaining a very sluggish situation regarding this work.
In the first place, it is not easy for them to proceed smoothly as there are places where entry is prohibited within the academy.
In that regard, Student Council President Chris decided to launch an investigation into this incident, which raised doubts in many ways rather than simply being a rumor.
“Well, since the main tasks for this month are coming to an end, let’s find out the details starting tomorrow.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“okay.”
“That sounds like a good thing.”
The Student Council of Solomon Academy decides to collect information related to the object that grants the wish in question.
However, on the surface, it was simply an activity to maintain public order. At this moment, their own selfishness was taking place in their hearts.
‘It’s an interesting story. If you can really meet that god, it would be nice to ask for a ton of gold bars. That’s enough to live without worrying about money for the rest of my life.’
‘It’s a trivial story. But if it’s true, it wouldn’t hurt to use it. A body that will lead this country forever. for this country… ‘
‘Give me your wish… If that’s true, what wish would you like to make? Shall I ask you to make Magdalena my aunt with my revenge? Otherwise… ‘
‘Is this going to be quite fun? I think it would be fun to watch.’
*
The next day, the Student Council of Solomon Academy started the investigation right away as scheduled.
The first thing they started to do was to collect more detailed information from the leadership team.
“First of all, I appreciate that you came to help, but honestly, we don’t have any information right now, it’s just that the number of guys who believe in rumors is increasing more and more, and because of this, more and more guys are entering the forbidden area.”
“Is that so? I’m sorry.”
“By the way, what time are you planning to come home today? I’m thinking of having dinner with your father.”
“… Hey, talking about such a private story later… ”
“How are you? It’s hard to even see my son’s face these days. Shouldn’t we make time for something like this?”
“ha… ”
A female teacher who talks to Pete with a calm smile.
In response to this, Pete could only sigh with his head bowed.
Red hair, hair in a ponytail, and one horn… From Pete’s point of view, he’s not used to it, so he’s a very natural character just by his existence.
In the words of Elias, his mother and former corps commander,
Pete couldn’t help but think that he hadn’t come here after all because he had one more family appointment, which was slightly annoying, instead of the information he wanted.
and,
Watching them, Magdalena, the granddaughter of Elias, spoke to her grandmother, who still looked remarkably youthful, with a wide smile on her lips.
“Then, are you going to eat with your uncle today?”
“That’s the plan, Magdalena, if you want, you can come too. It’s a family reunion anyway, and if the granddaughter comes, I think this grandmother would be quite happy with that too.”
“Whoops, your grandma. I will.”
To be honest, she looked more like an older sister than a grandmother. Nevertheless, the nature of the conversation itself could be said to be a conversation between a granddaughter and a grandmother.
Like that, Pete felt like he was stuck again between two people who matched each other well in many ways, and Pete was caught in the same familiar awkwardness as always.
at that time.
“But, Grandma. If you don’t mind, could I see some data on the students who went into the forbidden area?”
“Um… well There is a bit of a gap in the rules, but… ”
“Hi-ing grandmother, just once.”
“… .ha… ”
Pete automatically let out a sigh while watching his nephew, who is older than him, play cute with his mother at that age.
And as a result, Illarius said with a helpless smile.
“Well what… Considering the authority of the student council, there’s nothing I can’t show you.”
“Thank you, Grandma!”
With those words, Magdalena lightly kisses Elias on the cheek.
Seeing that, Pete felt goosebumps for no reason and began to examine the bundles of data that Elias had handed over.
And as a result…
They were able to discover one thing worth noting.
