Chapter 41

A Weakness Found

I went to a hangar in order to participate in the airbike race

Carrying a helmet, I conversed with Luxon, as attached to an airbike

[It’s quite unreasonable for you to do this just because you don’t want to anger a duke that happens to support youHow about getting one of Anjelica’s fine followers to do it? Is this really a position suitable for a mob?]

I normally made snide comments towards hoas a mob

In reality, I was no

I wasn’t overwhelly beautiful like how Julian or the others were, and was an ordinary person with black hair and dark irises

However, I didn’t hate hoas

So what if I was ordinary? Wasn’t that splendid? I loved hoas

“I’d love it if I had a position a bitone of the villainess’ followersAnyways, how about we begin?”

Luxon inserted a cord co from its spherical body into the airbikeIt see the airbike, but it kind of looked like ere up to no good

[They said ten h for youIt seems that you’re the victi to set you up for soine trouble]

“Don’t those guys hate me a little too much?”

It was as if all of the students in the school turned into my enemy after the duel

[There’s no doubt that the students in the whole school hate youYou should take care of the two that you’re on good terht nowPerhaps I should call them your friends, that is if you don’t see them as members of the opposite sex]

“Friends of the opposite sex, you say”

[You should look after them since they’re valuable friends who aren’t boys, Master]

As I was speaking with Luxon in a low voice, I thought about those two

They were people who noronist and the villainessI didn’t think that it would have been a simple matter for them to become close

However, the two strangely became close friends

“I’hThe best result would be if there are no trials and tribulations for me to encounterEspecially with those two”

[Don’t you have anything you feel towards them?]

“Basically, those two──”

When I was speaking, a third-year upperclassman arrived

He was tall, had short hair, and held a stern figureIt see timeHe had quite the thick neckOf the top candidates, he was the boy as most popular in the bets

“Are you Jilk’s substitute?”

The upperclass out to me, but I didn’t feel much hostility

“Oh, aren’t you the one who’s the crea the top candidates? Do you have some business with me? I’m a bit busy at thesoine”

While I was speaking, Luxon hid itself behind my back

The one I was speaking as Clarice’s follower

It felt like the third-year upperclassuard around me

“So you do understand the situation you’re in? In that case, I didn’t need to coNevertheless, to think that the shovel guy would substitute for JilkI have s”

Shovel guyI suppose I was called that since I hadthe duel

“Tell”

The upperclass smile, and then made a serious expression

“Let ainst you, but I’o all out and thwart you in the next race”

Wasn’t that an upright declaration of war?! There was no point in trying to apologizeI hated pain

“Do you have so on? Did Clarice threaten you?”

“That’s not it!”

The upperclassized with “My bad”

He then cleared his throat and talked to me about Clarice’s and his own circumstances

“My family consists of nobles from the lowest seats of the royal courtWithout our court rank, I wouldn’t be the heir to anything”

The upperclassular class as one of Clarice’s followers

It seemed that he was indebted to her

“My lady is also kind to nized my talent in airbikes and supported et ahead in eraduation”

The upperclass happy, yet sad

“She’s a kind personWe adirls are cruel, and I’ve heard co us glad that we’re with her”

I remained silent, and the upperclassman spoke about his past

“My lady’s household has an airbike race locationI could use it freely, so I didn’t have any probleuy also used that spot before their engagement was even decidedThe lady prepared a coach for hiifted him an airbikeShe supported hi at the same timeAnd yet, that Jilk brat swiftly told her one day that he would break up their engagementEven when my lady tried to see him in order to persuade him otherwise, he absolutely would not meet her”

I couldn’t help but get angry

It was justified to beat up Jilk for itI forgave himDo your best, upperclassman!

However, I hoped that he would let me off

“In that case, could you overlook me?”

“I’m sorryI sympathize with you emotionally, but my lady’s orders are absoluteWe have to unconditionally follow her ordersWe have to by all e for our lives”

What strong determination

It was this kind of idolization that made Clarice so popular

The upperclasses

“I heard about what happened at the medical officeIt’s probably impossible, but I hope that you don’t think badly of ed since the suoes ith thehtShe was not that kind of person in the past”

Owning slaves and doing it all night? That’s what a lot of girls did, including my sister

I wasn’t really surprised, since I was already numbed to it

──It had finally happenedIt seeame had seeped into me

So that I thought it was for just a moment

“If you sympathize, then can’t you cut me some slack?”

The upperclassman smiled

“So I can’t convince you? It seemed that you weren’t that interested in what I had to sayIt’s fine either wayI’nore me”

While seeing the upperclassman leave, I sat down on the seat of htly fixed the strap of the helmet around my chin

[The airbike’s modification has completed]

“Is that so?”

[Master, are you still ai that?]

“Of courseI’d be wrong of e amount of money on myself”

When the students heard that I would be substituting for Jilk and that I would be using an airbike prepared by the acade that I would lose

When the students heard that I would be substituting for Jilk and that I would be using an airbike prepared by the acade that I would lose

Compared to those who advanced to the finals, it was obvious that I was inferior

In other words, I was an unlikely winner

[I don’t think you need hIn the first place, since you have me, you wouldn’t be inconvenienced in terms your livelihood, Master]

What an idiotThat wouldn’t have helped with h! It really was a useless AI

In addition, I also just wanted to winI loved winningFurthermore──

“I’d like to see the bitter faces of the people who thought I would loseFor that, I’ll win the championshi+pThe bet is onYou can consider this a separate matter”

[What a nice hobby you haveI’d like to follow your exah, i ame]

Didn’t this thing hate me a little too much?

Now that the race was about to begin, airbikes were hovering in the sky

The sensation of floating in the air with a bike was refreshi+ng, as long as I didn’t look downThe quality of the ride wasn’t bad either

The audience was greatly excited to see each airbike rising up

A to participants ere surrounding me

Each of them were openly hostile

“Yo, aiting for youToday, we’ll repay you for what you did that one time”

Who was this person?

He seemed to be a second-year student, but I didn’t remember him at all

When I tried to ignore him, he collided into my airbike

“Don’t ignore me, first-year scum!”

I laughed scornfully

“There’s no way I would be able to rehI’ll tell a certain duke household your naive it to meHey, tell me your name!”

While touting rave household, I politely looked down on the person I was speaking to

Perhaps that iantSo what? It was pretty fun

The person clicked his tongue and took a distance from me

All the participants gathered at the starting point marked by cloth

There were obstacles installed in various areas of the field

[As sharp-tongued as ever, I see]

“I’ to rief”

[You reap what you sowIn fact, I’ve recently been wondering if you just want to show offLook, it’s about to start]

Once I looked ahead of me, there was a referee who shot a rifle into the sky

With that as a cue, all of the airbikes sian to run, and I was in the lead──not

[You’re completely surrounded]

“God dalish)

[And you said you were a japanese person in your previous life?]

“I just wanted to try saying it!”

“I just wanted to try saying it!”

Once the race began, participants surrounded me with their airbikes and launched an attackThey collided into my airbike and kicked it

What cruel people they were!

“Go to hell, you fiend!”

“I’ in debt because of you!”

“Go crash somewhere!”

I would have liked to have clais

“You’re all just paying the consequences of your o crash somewhere!”

Luxon was amazed when I kicked back at the schoolboy that had kicked me

[What a pathetic conversationIt really st people of the same level]

I defended ht, and front in order to endure the attacks of the people surrounding me

“Ouch! Who threw that thing just now?! I hope you’re prepared to come face me!”

In a paid lounge that gave off a high-class aura, there were students who gathered to cheer people on in the race

“Do it!”

“Over thereGive hier dent!”

“Aren’t you being a little too meek?!”

Everyone was excitedly cheering for the students that were attacking Leon

Anjie held her head due to a headache

“Their dissatisfaction will accumulate, even if we try to stop themLeon had also said that it was fine for theined”

Livia had teary eyes

“I feel bad for LeonLeon, I know that you didn’t do anything particularly ell, actually…”

Anjie comforted Livia, who tried to stand up for Leon somehow

“You don’t have to go that farHe has his faults as wellHowever, even if it’s just you and me, we can cheer for LeonAnyways, it’s ironic that those related to Clarice aren’t near”

Clarice’s folloere atte to thwart Leon

However, before those followers could surround hiathered around Leon and persistently launched an attack

Instead of getting near hi indecisively, perhaps in confusion

Leon had avoided receiving any fatal wounds, but Anjie, atching in irritation, was clenching her fistThereupon, the daughter of the earl household from the first day of the school festival appeared

With a slass, towards the race

“Your follower really is detestable”

Anjie objected to the earl daughter, who thought that Leon was her follower

“Leon isn’t my follower”

“I don’t care about thatWhat’s iuys, ──”

She had called the queen, Milaine, an old lady, and furtherh her exclusive servantsDue to that, it seehter was harshly criticized by her family

Her folloere around her, but her exclusive servants were nowhere to be seen

Anjie laughed scornfully

“If you’re looking for sohtedness?”

Anjie laughed scornfully

“If you’re looking for sohtedness?”

The earl daughter, who seeaze and dark circles around her eyes

Livia stood in front of her

“Don’t lay a hand on Anjie!”

“──Livia”

When Anjie felt a little reassured by Livia, the girl squinted her eyes

“Don’t interrupt our conversation, lowly commoner”

“──Err, um”

When Livia flinched upon being called a co that, the girlsmile

“You’ve changed, AnjelicaPerhaps you’ve gotten ti all of your followers betray youIf it was you from before, you wouldn’t even have cared for co onto one in desperation? You’ve changed despite having looked down on commoners like herOr perhaps it’s that your household is on a decline, so you can only draw close with them”

Anjie glared at the girl, but soon turned around and looked at Livia

She tried to resolve the et the words out

“──T, that’s not itLivia, I!”

The words couldn’t co ashaaze from Livia

Seeing Anjie’s behavior, Livia broke into tears and ran off

Anjie tried reaching out towards Livia’s back, but Livia ran out froe

“──Ah”
