Chapter 23 – I enrolled in ic school

Spring is here now, and I’ve finally enrolled in ic school, just like its naic

People with athered here by the country, and will have to undergo two years of strict education here at the dorms

This school is run by the country, and it’s the largest one of its kind

Within its gigantic campus, besides the school itself, there’s also student and teacher doric research facilities and other structures

By the way, there’s a reason for the country to sponsor such splendid facilities

That’s because people with ic they wield are considered important national treasures

In other countries, there are very few people that are born with ic power It’s not zero, but it seems to be extremely rare

In comparison to other countries, our country has ic power, and we raise them to be the best That’s why our country has put so ic power

Thus, we’re considered national treasures, precious to the country

In order to help us, the national treasures, be able to use h talent in ic school

At this school, if a person is recognized for having powerful ’s, and will receive a position in the powerful organization siic

And so, each year, everyone with athered here, but…… They’re almost all nobles

That’s right, even though our country has ic users than other countries, it’s almost entirely h social status

Because of that, whether or not you have ic is, can be considered a et you adopted by the nobility, so by the ti in school as a noble

But of course, it’s not only nobles that have ic power It’s really rare, but soic power And so, coic school

However, coic power are so rare that, it seeic school for ten years

And now, after ten years, a coic school

Maria Caic power, and on top of that with light ic

Aic, there’s very few people with the strongest type, light ic It’s said that you can count the number of people with it in our country on one hand

Obviously, all attention would of course be focused on Maria Ca from the entrance ceremony, all eyes would be on her

And so, I followed everyone’s line of sight, and found her

She has beautiful, flowing blonde hair and clear blue eyes, she’s a beautiful girl By reflex, I began ad her beauty

Maria Caic,” I’irl in this entire school, or rather entire country, even

Well, the ame “Fortune Lover” is definitely here

It’s finally tiin Froame next year, it’s tis

“I definitely won’t lose to sos!” I clenched my fist and swore so to myself

I was trying to do my best after the entrance ceremony, but……

Just a few days after I’ve enrolled inoverwhelmed by the heroine Maria’s charm

As for why, it’s because just a few days after school started, with her out of control charm, she’s already attracted Jared’s interest, and captured Keith’s heart as well

“Coirl who has the power of light ic”

Jared was saying such a thing while he was drinking tea with Keith and me in the dor he had some rare candies fortea with the sweets I had just received, and I nearly spit out the tea I was drinking

So it out, I was really close to staining the tablecloth in front of ht in front ofrelieved at avoiding an incident, Keith showed interest in Jared’s topic of conversation

“Ahh, that coirl’s a really hot topic of conversation now”

“That’s right When I alking around on the school grounds just now, I met her by coincidence”

He rounds…… It’s the first encounter event between Jared and the heroine!

The heroine who’s curious by nature, was exploring the school grounds, but since the caot lost And so, when the heroine had no more idea where she was anyh she earing a skirt at the time At that time, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed prince, Jared, just happened to come by

The heroine blushed cri discovered like this by Jared And so, Jared got interested in the to a tree in a skirt, and helped her find her way back to the dorms

……Jared’s story was just like the ga it

Ahh, so it’ll just be like the ga to take interest in the heroine after this encounter…… And then, he’ll surely fall in love before long……

“Mirls out there that climb trees in skirts just like nee-san”

“This is the first time I’ve seen someone other than Katarina climb a tree in a skirt Well, since I’ of it, but she seemed really embarrassed”

“……Mht Normally, you’d be pretty e a tree in a skirt…… Most people won’t say proudly ‘since I’ trees, it’s fine……’”

“Well, Katarina is out of the ordinary But, that’s what ?”

Ahh, and so Jared’s fallen in love with the heroine, he only got engaged to ainst other noble girls, and I’ to be a nuisance now…… I’ll…… be a nuisance……

“Oi, Katarina, are you listening? ……It’s no good She’s not listening at all”

“……It seems that way”

Ahh, this is the worst…… It’s only been a few days since school started, andme already……

And so, I was so shaken, and coot to check with the person in question, Jared, about how far along they’ve progressed in their love……

“Hey, it’s already ti endlessly until I was finally proo

And so…… So’s off about me –

“Nee-san After all, since this isn’t our ho strange, you know”

“That’s right, Katarina You’re already 15 now, you really should stop picking up and eating anything that you see”

It seeotten carried away and eaten so unidentified” Well, that’s because it’s happened many times before……

But, I have a cos to eat! I’” fros off the ground, so I’s to eat! Besides, I’ve done this more than ten times already, and I only upset my stomach twice……

“Oh, I alsoabout just now”

Just a few days after Jared gave me such a shock, this time it was my stepbrother Keith that made such a comment

This ti, with Keith coether, so there was no danger ofout any tea this time But……

“……What!!”

A mysterious utterance was heard

“……Hey, nee-san, what’s the matter?”

My stepbrother flinched at my sudden mysterious cry, and pressed me for the cause

“C, could it be, you were hitting on her!?”

In the game’s first encounter event between Keith and the heroine, he was hitting on her

After all, in the gairl that he saw, anyways, he was a real dangerous fellow For that reason, when he saw the ruot interested in the heroine because of her uniqueness, and started hitting on her

“……W, what does hitting on her mean…?”

“……Uhh~, hitting on her irls with ihts in mind”

“Inviting girls with ihts in !”

Keith was shouting with a bright red face Well, certainly I can’t iaive hientleh he has beco it……

Keith was desperately denying it while blushi+ng, so I pressed hi with her?”

“She just happened to be walking in front of me, and I picked up a handkerchief that she dropped……”

“Handkerchief……”

That’s right! In the ga their first , and was promptly rejected when he hit on her And because the heroine rejected hiot even more interested in her And so, after the heroine rejected Keith and left, she’ll drop her handkerchief

After discovering it, on the next day Keith will appear in front of the heroine again and force her with “is this yours? If you happen to want it back, go out on a date with me first”

“……And, what happened to that handkerchief?”

I’m scared, I’m scared, what’s the answer……

“What do you ave it back to her”

“Oh, oh, is that what happened”

Ahh, so Keith didn’t keep the handkerchief……

Then, it seeo out with hi the handkerchief as an excuse…… However…… I can’t repeat the same mistake I made with Jared, I need to make absolutely certain to check all the details this time

“……And, after you ic, what…… What did you think of her?”

“……What I thought of her? She seeirl She thanked me really politely……”

Keith answeredat……

Ahh, that’s not it! Keith That’s not what I really want to hear! I’ to have to be super direct with him!

“What I’ is! What do you think of Maria-san! Did you fall in love with her beauty!?”

I raised rabbed on to Keith’s shoulders, and Keith became completely wide-eyed

“!? …… Fall in love with her…… Nee-san, what exactly do you mean……”

Ahh, the surprised look that he has right now is just like the way he hen he first joined our Claes family…… I must have nailed it! There’s no mistake! Keith’s already fallen for Maria!

“……Like I thought, you’ve already fallen in love with Maria-san, eh……”

“……Uh, nee-san Really, what are you saying……?”

I gripped Keith’s shoulders even htly

“Listen up, it’s okay Don’t hide things fros after all! It’s just that, I want to tell you one thing…… I definitely won’t interfere between Keith and anyone that Keith likes! I’ll definitely be cheering for you and Maria-san! I definitely won’t do soet in the way!”
