Chapter 3: The Witch of the Academy

 
The sun was gradually setting. The Academy was bathed in the red glow of the sun, and both the school buildings and the venue were stained a deep orange.
 
The venue was overflowing with as many people as the eye could see.
 
The final presentation was held only at the central venue. Because of this, people were gathering here from all the other locations as well.
 
During the students’ presentations, the turnout had been poor because King Grantz was performing live sales nearby.… Read more

The cultural festival was almost over, and I was about to move to another venue to observe the presentations.
 
However, a familiar group walked toward me.
 
It was Middleton, the Rhea couple, Isaac-dono, Diagio-dono, and Grantz-dono. Furthermore, a little behind them was the figure of Lorette. All the key figures of the major powers, except for Ramsey, had headed straight toward me for some reason.
 
Feeling a premonition of a troublesome conversation, I raised one hand and opened my mouth.… Read more

【SIDE: ISAAC】
 

Even for my son, it was a dignified attitude.
 
He is praised as a well-made child not only by those of our own country but also by nobles of other countries, and I had no choice but to agree with that without flattery.
 
Court was a child who observed his surroundings well from a young age. He didn’t just observe; he would continue to watch until he understood the meaning, and eventually make it his own.… Read more

Chapter 2: The Students’ Presentation

Just before the students’ presentation, people who had gone to other venues also started gathering. It seemed there were also faces of those who had been at King Grandsands’s live demonstration sale.
 
Thanks to the large-scale publicity activities, I felt that, before I knew it, the largest crowd yet had gathered. Satisfied with the result, I also moved to the edge of the venue.
 
I couldn’t see Karila and the others, but they were likely watching from an inconspicuous spot.… Read more

“I will attack with this magic, so if you could slice through it…”
 
I said that with expectation, but The king looked up at the statue, which was about ten meters tall, with a dumbfounded face and froze. Looking around, the audience members who had gathered had similar faces.
 
I had thought they would be happy to be able to see the sword’s sharpness, but I get the illusion that the atmosphere has instead become somber.… Read more

“…I see. I already know the reason for that, but I haven’t been able to probe the background yet. If you’re okay with uncertain information seen from only one side, I can provide it…”
 
“That’s enough. Please tell me whatever you know.”
 
When I asked for the information from the slightly unenthusiastic Gaia, he let out a light sigh and looked at me.
 
“I don’t like spreading incomplete information, but I suppose I have no choice since it’s a client’s request… Apparently, the King of Grandsans Kingdom asked the King of this country for permission to use the venue.… Read more

They must have practiced quite a lot. There were no major points that needed correction. I simply watched once and gave some light advice.
 
At this rate, the presentation would surely be a very good one. I nodded to myself in relief.
 
“Well then, since there isn’t much time, I’ll head to the venue first. Everyone, please do your final checks and then head to the venue.”
 
When I said that, Court spoke with a smile on his face.… Read more

Chapter 1: The Fever of the Cultural Festival

Eliza’s presentation ended in a massive success.
 
Well, the King of her home country did cause some trouble, but even including that, the result was good. Afterward, we spent the rest of the second day of the cultural festival walking around to see the presentations held at various venues.
 
In the evening, I held a dinner party for Eliza to celebrate her finished presentation. Although I call it a “dinner party,” the location was just the dormitory dining hall.… Read more

Special Written Story: The Fluffiness Increased

Even during breaks from the cultural festival, I was conducting supplementary lessons after school. Yesterday was with Shenley, Dean, and the others. And today was with Felter.
 
What I would do with Felter was body strengthening magic and mock combat. For this reason, instead of my usual instructor’s uniform, I headed to the location in clothing that was easy to move in. While not quite a running uniform, it was loose clothing consisting of wide-legged pants and a shirt.… Read more

Extra Chapter: Shenley’s Family Meeting

“……Hmm. This is a good establishment.”
 
Ord muttered quietly as he lightly surveyed the interior of the shop. Hearing those words, Shenley’s face brightened with joy. The two-story building resembling a log cabin made of timber had simple rooms partitioned by houseplants, with large sofas arranged throughout. The ceiling was high, and through the windows, a terrace seating area was visible, giving a sense of openness.
 
This was “The Sleeping Tiger Inn,” a dining establishment located at the edge of Winter Valley’s eastern district.… Read more
