Episode 107
“What should I do? Should I really get sponsorship?”
“Don’t be crazy. If you did that, wouldn’t you have to sleep with those pot-bellied nobles?”
In a cafe near the academy, all the commoner students from Class A were sitting together and talking.
“Ah. I don’t know about the imperial family, but I heard they were chosen by the church as well, so I guess…”
“Fool, there are people chosen from the church. In the first place, if you give money, all your sins will be forgiven, so what… Oh, saint. I’m not talking about you.”
A student who was talking about the sponsors said with a soft smile when Perloche looked frightened after hearing the story about the religious order.
“I see!”
Then Perloce, who had been cowering, straightened up with a relieved expression.
“So… what do we do now?”
“That’s right. If we continue like this, the only thing left to do is to be kicked out of the academy.”
The commoners who were petting Perloche as if they were a mascot soon sighed and began to worry about what would happen in the future.
“Would you rather rob a bank? Make the money 1/n…”
“Don’t be crazy.”
One student tried to tell a joke, but when another student, who was very depressed, cut off the joke in a cold voice, the atmosphere became even colder.
“How about asking the princess for help?”
“You already don’t have much money to spend. You already gave us compensation for the last attack on the Starlight Mansion. Of course, most of us used up even that.”
“Then, Professor Isolette…”
“He might want to help, but it’s not an amount he can afford on a teacher’s salary.”
“Then, is the saint…”
“…Huh.”
As all the children’s eyes turned to him, Perloche lowered his head and shouted.
“I’m sorry! I don’t have any money!”
“….ah.”
“Well, but for your sake, I can somehow extract money even if it means fighting with the church!’’
Perloche spoke with a determined expression, but the commoners just shook their heads.
Not only was it unclear whether the soft and pure Perloche would be able to extort money from the church, but even if they did, it was obvious that they would be stigmatized by the church.
“Irina, reaching out to your old teacher…”
“That senile old man, he hasn’t received any letters since I visited him last time.”
Even Arianne, who had asked Irina a question with some hope, lowered her head with a disappointed expression, and the atmosphere gradually began to become solemn.
“…There is one way.”
In that atmosphere, when Kania spoke in a low voice, everyone’s eyes began to sparkle.
These were the words of Kania, who must have been subjected to terrible torture during the vacation in return for causing trouble for Frey for them, and whose red handprints still remain on her cheeks and neck.
“Let’s… look at this.”
“What is this?”
“This is the contract proposed by Frey.”
However, when ‘Fray’ came out of Kania’s mouth, all the students froze.
“If you sign that document, Frey will become your sponsor.”
“Does that mean we should become Frey’s slaves?”
“This is better than any other terms you have been offered so far.”
After saying that, she continued speaking in a trembling voice.
“Be loyal to yourself. Don’t rebel. And… have a ‘meeting’ once a month.”
“…You’re buying the right for your master to hug us once a month, right?”
When one of the students who was listening to Kania asked with a trembling voice, Kania quietly opened her mouth.
“Among those who have made suggestions so far, Mr. Frey has proposed the fewest meetings. All the others have attached the condition of ‘when you want.’”
“It’s disgusting.”
“This is the best solution I can give you. I am truly sorry.”
When even Kania, whom they had trusted, said that and lowered her head, the female students began to fall into despair one by one.
“Either sign a contract with Frey, or leave the academy. Are you saying I have to choose one of these two?”
“Boo, there must be some way…”
“So, in other words, if you don’t want to become a beggar on the street, you have to sell yourself to Frey.”
As one student started reaching for the contract with a self-deprecating smile, all the other students started looking at her.
“When I received the down payment from Frey, I went home and bought meat for the first time in my life.”
Eventually, she held the contract and started talking in a trembling voice.
“Do you know what my younger brother, my only family member, said while eating it?”
“…….”
“Well, my sister is the best in the world.”
The girl who said that gritted her teeth and continued speaking.
“I made a promise. To my younger brother, I will succeed and become the best.”
Among the solemn children, she picked up a pen and spoke.
“…I can’t do anything for my family.”
As she said that, she closed her eyes tightly and tried to write her name on the contract with the magic circle drawn on it with trembling hands.
“I enjoyed your speech.”
“oh?”
When someone suddenly appeared behind her and took the contract from her, she looked back with a puzzled expression.
“W-who are you? Are you… huh?”
Eventually, she looked warily at the person in front of her who seemed blurry for some reason, and when she saw Aris standing quietly next to her, she began to tilt her head.
“Guys, this man is offering you a contract.”

As Aris spoke, looking at her and the children sitting at the desk, the female students all began to frown.
It was obvious that he would ask for something anyway, so I thought, what difference would it make?
“There is only one thing I want from you.”
To those students, an unidentified person wearing a robe rubbed his hands and spoke.
“Please gather here at this time every week and report to me on your current situation.”
“yes?”
“Complaints about people harassing you, sick friends or family members, or poor meals.”
However, what he said was quite absurd.
“And please report the recent rumors circulating around the academy and any inconveniences you may have as a commoner.”
“Uh, over there…”
“Oh, of course, I have to show some condescension… so please at least guarantee me the right to request a one-on-one meal. Of course, there will be no physical contact at all.”
After the unidentified person finished speaking, someone among the students with blank expressions stood up and spoke.
“Well, do you think we’ll believe that? We know full well that the contract is not for the commoners. You signed a contract with me so kindly, but then you plan to threaten us with money later, right?”
“You just have to count the terms of the contract on the magic circle.”
“Something like that can be manipulated as much as you like. I’ve experienced it a few times in the past.”
Then other students began to look at the person in the black robe with suspicious eyes.
“Okay, then I’ll give you the down payment in advance.”
“…….!!!”
However, when he began to grin and place a huge bag of gold coins on the desk, all the students began to be shocked.
“From now on, I will use a scroll to show you the gold coins that will be paid based on your performance when you accept the contract. What do you think? Are you ready to sign a contract with me?”
“…………”
“For your information, we have already completed the contract with the male students.”
Eventually, the person wearing the black robe asked in a low voice, and the female students began nodding their heads involuntarily, as if possessed by a ghost.
Even Perloche, who had already promised support from the church, nodded.
“then…”
The unidentified person, who was looking around at the female students with dumbfounded expressions, asked a question with a grin.
“…Would you like to eat with me?”
.
“So, but in conclusion… I think Ms. Isolette would rather be the vice-captain of the Imperial Knights than an academy professor.”
“I thought I said I wouldn’t join the fucking Imperial Knights.”
“How about coming as an instructor for the Holy Knights? The youngest Holy Knight, the pride of our Holy Knights, truly respects you.”
“That’s nice, but I don’t want to join a corrupt group that uses money to forgive sins.”
Isolette, who was called in while talking with Frey, was receiving love calls from both the imperial family and the church.
“Are you saying you keep raising the price like that? Are you satisfied with the position of vice-captain?”
“Our church can offer you the title of honorary leader, but I guess we have no choice.”
“I’ve been saying this for a while now, but I’m satisfied as a professor at the academy.”
However, when Isolette continued to refuse, the servant and priest frowned and began to threaten her.
“It was only a suggestion so far, but if you keep coming back like this, I can’t accommodate you.”
“Firing you from your position as a teacher would be a piece of cake. I don’t know if you have the Bywalk family’s blessings, but aren’t you cut off from the family right now?”
“ha…”
Then Isolette, tired of the continued conversation, ruffled her hair and buried her head on the desk.
“Marquis, I have urgent news.
The Marquis, who had been dispatched from the imperial family, looked down at Isolette with a raised eyebrow, but began to frown when his subordinate hurriedly entered the room and spoke.
Because he had almost completely destroyed her spirit, he firmly believed that if he worked a little more, he would be able to bring her to his side.
“All the students in Class A were eliminated.”
“what!?”
However, after hearing what his subordinate said next, he screamed and got up from his seat.
“Look at that. What our church does is the will of the sun. So, the Sunrise royal family also follows our will…”
“Priest, we failed to secure Class A students.”
“What did you say just now?”
And that was the same for the priest who was giving advice with a gentle expression next to the Marquis.
“So, the students chose a third person, not the imperial family or the religious order?”
“No, why?”
That was when they, who were looking so frustrated, raised their voices and asked a question to their subordinates.
“The reason is simple.”
Someone entered the room and opened their mouth.
“I even printed it with money and pressed it.”
The marquis and the priest, who were looking closely at him wearing a black robe, soon opened their mouths at the same time.
“Are you planning to challenge the authority of the imperial family?”
“I guess you’re not afraid of the sun god?”
The robed figure laughed at those words and spoke to Isolette, who was staring blankly at him.
“The professor is going out for a moment.”
“Who are you…”
“Please. I have something to talk about with them.”
Normally, she would have refused with a sharp expression on her face, but Isolette quietly nodded at his words and left the room.
Partly because I was mentally exhausted after listening to hours of persuasion and threats, and also because I somehow felt familiar with the person wearing the robe.
“Hmm…”
As Isolette left the room, the robed figure sat crookedly in front of them, put his feet up on the desk, and started yawning.
“Do you think you can get away with doing something like this?”
When the Marquis asked him with a frown, he burst out laughing and answered.
“It won’t be me who won’t be safe, but you.”
“what?”
“Not only from a different status, but from a marquis and even a priest, to have the talented people we were trying to secure stolen by someone whose identity we don’t even know… I guess the imperial family and the church would really be happy if they found out?”
After hearing that, the Marquis snorted and said.
“Do you think we won’t be able to track you down? I guarantee you, your tail will be stepped on within a few days. Even then, you won’t be able to remain so calm…”
“Count Justinian, the emperor of the back alleys, also raised his hands and feet and passed me through the market alleys. What about you, you bastards?”
However, when the robed figure answered in a calm voice, cracks began to appear on both of their faces.
“You are the one responsible for the news that hit the Empire this morning?”
“Okay, are you sure if I show you this?”
As he said that, he took out the certificate with Count Justino’s autograph from his arms and waved it, and the two’s expressions began to rot even more.
“Oh, by the way, it seems like I’ve been using discrimination magic and discrimination magic since a while ago…”
– Fazzzzzzz…
“It’s all pointless. Whether the magic tower lord or the Pope comes, they will never reveal my identity.”
Eventually, the robed figure took out the highest grade discrimination scroll from his pocket and activated it, and the two’s faces began to rot and turn blue.
“In short, you guys are screwed now.”
The figure wearing a robe with spikes laughing at them started talking in a low voice to the two who were sweating coldly.
“Because if you continue like this, you will be finished.”
“Well, that’s not true. I…”
“Stop making excuses. Do you think someone as big as me doesn’t know your identity? You two planned and executed this entire operation. So, if it fails, you will also take responsibility.”
In the end, the two bowed their heads to his remarks, which did not give them a chance to dig in.
“So, from now on…”
Frey, wearing a black robe, smiled in remorse as he looked at them.
“…It’s a fight to see who looks better to me?”
“”what?””
He put his feet down on the desk, placed his hand on his chin, and whispered softly.
“It’s simple. There is someone in front of you who owns all the coins, a Class A student, right?”
“Well, that means…”
“Yes, the one among you who succeeds in capturing me will save his life.”
After saying that, Frey finished speaking while rubbing his hands.
“Hmm, I wonder if there isn’t a good person who would donate to my ‘charity foundation’…?”
Seeing him like that, the two men had a hunch.
Even if you step on poop, you step on it properly.
.
“Whoa…”
I think today was a really satisfying day.
Commoner students cried, thinking that the heavens were finally giving them a reward for their hard work due to unexpected good fortune.
Isolette thanked me with the same bright smile she gave me sometimes in the past.
And even the marquis and the priest who, trying their best to impress me, promised to donate a large amount of money to a charity foundation.
Of course, those two guys will continue to suck it up and use it as material to negotiate with the imperial family and the church.
From now on, the imperial family and the religious order will also have to suck it up.
Additionally, the two guys were instructed to hand over the data of all sponsors, including the trash guy who was touching the hands of female students earlier.
To appreciate their warm hearts, meet them as Freys, and give them succubi as gifts.
“Fray!”
“…hmm?”
As I was walking down the hallway of the academy with that thought in mind, I tilted my head and turned when I heard a voice calling me from behind.
“What, it’s Perloche.”
Eventually, I spotted Perloce walking towards me with his signature fierce expression, so I tilted my head and asked a question.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I have something to tell you!”
Then she crossed her arms and opened her mouth with a stern expression.
“From today, you and I are partners!”
“Yeah, I see. Okay…what?”
I expected her to talk nonsense again, so I tried to answer that I understood, but then I couldn’t believe my ears and asked the question again.
“You and I are partners for the second semester!”
And after hearing her answer again, I became lost in thought as I listened to Perloche’s words with a blank expression.
“You all know the power each partner has!”
‘…Nonsense.’
‘Partner’ is a unique system in Black Tail Fantasy 2, and when selected, you will have various interactions during the second semester.
An important thing is.
According to the prophecy, Perloche and I cannot be partners due to the structure of the game.
…is it bugun?
