11. Not a myth, but a legend (4)
[Arucia’s… vice-president, Arietta rul Meirae! I love you so much!]
“He’s drawing attention alright.”
“Twue dat…”
I was watching the imperial festival from a secret hideout using a magic video tool that I’d hurriedly brought with me, and out comes a public confession.
It was something I saw every now and then in my past life, but this was the first time I saw it here.
In the thing called high society, public confessions were things that never truly left the conversations of nobles, regardless of whether they succeeded or not.
Now what sort of brave hero would risk that embarrassment and make a public confession?
“Then ‘zat mean pres’s a hero in a way?”
“He is. An incredible hero with no sense of shame!”
Or he could be a hero who submitted to the evil archdevil, the metal bat!
“Pres’s so pitiful if he gets rejected like that…”
“True, but he probably will get rejected. Because it’s none other than an Arucia student, which he destroyed himself. Plus he’s confessing to their student council’s vice-president. It’s an impossible match.”
But on the contrary, that was the reason why it would burn even brighter.
Why was Romeo and Juliet so sad?
Why was it that in so many Korean soap operas that the main love interest was actually the son or daughter of the main character’s parents’ arch nemesis!
Because love was something that was even sweeter the more trials and tribulations there were to defeat!
So it went without saying that it was all but certain that Nerkia would be rejected, but the stories that would spread from there would be that much more…
[Uwuuu… Ne, Nerkia… what are you saying out in the open like that… it’s embarrassing…]
“Wut?”
“What the?”
But the person being confessed to, Arucia’s vice-president, was red-faced and at a loss for what to do.
But her expression was clearly that of a maiden in love.
As I looked on at her, whose face was crimson with shyness and unable to even face the other person properly…
“Damn it.”
I found myself automatically looking for a bamboo spear.
What is this, even?
“Owner, even if you’re a loser who couldn’t even get married, making an annoyed face like that just because one of your students has a girlfriend is pathetic.”
“No, it’s not like I didn’t have a girlfriend! I was confessed to a few times as well!”
“Aru’s question time! Does owner want to date said confessors?”
“They’re not people who you could even think of dating to begin with?”
“And therefore it’s owner’s loss!”
“I can’t deny that!”
I despaired at this overwhelming feeling of defeat.
Why was it that there were no normal girls that approached me in this life!
“There’s no way that a normal person would get near a person who spent half his life in an evil organization. Even if she did, she’d be lucky to not get backstabbed by owner on some assignment.”
“Was that the problem all along?!”
Damn it, to think that Howling, the place I thought was the best workplace would actually be interfering with my love life.
Now that I think about it, Sia, the princess, or that crazy High Elf.
All three of them were women I met while working for Howling.
This was all vice-adm…(1) I mean Howling’s fault! This was all Howling’s fault!
Good riddance, Howling!
“I think owner keeps denying it’s owner’s fault Howling went bust.”
“An evil organization that ruins their workers’ love lives, it’s alright for them to go bust!”
In a certain hero-hating manhwa(2) their evil organization’s boss actively encouraged his subordinates to find love, but Howling was interfering with mine.Serves them right if they went down.
“I think Howling’s boss’ll come find you from the dead out of anger f’ that…”
As I ignored the metal bat and kept looking at the screen, the salt-rubbing flirting between Nerkia and Arucia’s student council vice-president were reaching unwatchable levels again.
[Nerkia… But we are enemies. We are destined to fight each other!]
[Why… why must this be our fates…]
[It’s alright, Nerkia. We’re both people in charge of our respective academies… so there’s no other choice… but if you dare go easy on us because of that… I’m going to get angry?]
[Alright Ari. I’ll… kuhk]
[For fucks sake, keep a lid on it you asshole!]
And as if he couldn’t take it anymore, the whole drama was brought to a close by Risen’s attack.
Good job, Risen!
Next time you have reason to get hit by the metal bat I’ll tell her to hit you three times less!
[Kukk, what was that f… kuhgh?]
[Die, die, die!]
[Where are you thinking of getting off to date the enemy?]
[This isn’t because I’m jealous, it’s to make our idiot president that can’t tell between friend or foe get his head on straight!]
Starting from Risen, the other male students took turns stomping on Nerkia in extravagant coordination with each other, and to me it almost seemed like they like an organization that would wear hoods labelled FFF.(3)
If there was a point of difference, would it be that the female students very quickly took action to hide the scene of violence?
[Wa, wait! What are you doing to Nerkia!]
[Arietta, that’s another academy’s affairs. That’s not something we can do anything about.]
[Right. Yugrasia has Yugrasia’s laws.]
[Surely they wouldn’t kill their own president?]
Arucia’s vice-president was shocked, and she tried to stop the other students that were stomping on Nerkia, but Arucia’s other students shook her heads and convinced her to stop.
But looking at their expressions, they seemed like they were satisfied by Nerkia getting stomped on, and so you could say that Arucia and Yugrasia made peace thanks to a single couple.
As always, no matter where you went, the solo brigade would always exist!
[Ri, Risen. This was your idea! You said this was the best plan!]
[Yeah, it was. Because exactly like my genius brain expected, this was the best way to get everyone’s attention! But you should have just stuck to verse one, how far are you going to rub it in our faces!]
And so Risen’s kicks of anger continued until the end of the match.
[Wi, Winner Yugrasia?!]
Although unfortunately that didn’t take very long!

“What?!”
The Arucia student council president had been leisurely watching the other side’s school violence through their human wall, when he suddenly made a shocked face .
