Betrayed by My Best Friend and Dumped by My Fiancée, I’ve Decided to Enjoy Life as I Please ~ For Some Reason, a Bunch of Crazy Fanatics Keep Pledging Their Loyalty to Me~
“Laplace School of Magic …… that, huh?”
“I don’t know if another school by the same name exists, but it’s the most famous school in the world.”
What kind of bigwigs are we going to get from there that we should kidnap? ……
I mean, when you’re trying to extract talent from there, it’s like you’re selling a fight to some other country.
I mean, you’ve already sold it. ……
“What if, what if? If you were to go through with your plan, what would you do?”
“There is a person in the upper management of the academy who is our collaborator. We would ask him to disguise our identities and infiltrate the school as students.”
There is a collaborator in the upper management of Laplace Magic Academy?!
I know they are supposed to be very strict about bribes and other such irregularities. ……
It really wouldn’t be funny if they found out who we are.
“Please. This is a move that will surely come in handy in our future and can save many people. So please give me your permission.”
W-Well, if you put it that way, it’s hard to say no, isn’t it. ……
If I refused and a lot of people got killed or injured, I would surely feel incredibly guilty.
My path is now as good as limited.
I don’t think I can live happily with that kind of guilt.
“Okay. But I have a condition.”
“What is it?”
“I will allow infiltration. But after that, it’s up to the field. I will not allow you to forcibly kidnap a person, and I will make the final decision on who to kidnap after receiving a report on the person’s character and whatnot. Is that clear?”
“If so, Rex-sama, will you come with me? It would be difficult to send out many reports outside the academy, and I think it would be more accurate and quicker for you to see it with your own eyes than to ask about it.”
………… I dug a grave.
If I said I didn’t want to go, I’d be a disgusting boss who forced unreasonable demands on someone while I wouldn’t even move myself!
Also, if we send Mitsurugis, they’re going to kidnap all the good ones from one end of the line. ……
We can’t go around ruining other people’s lives for our own reasons.
If possible, I must persuade them and recruit them instead of kidnapping them.
“Okay,…… I’ll go with you,…… which Mitsurugi are you going to take with you this time?”
“I was thinking of having Daisy-san come with me this time. The branch where she is located is close to the Laplace School of Magic, and from an appearance standpoint, she’s a good fit.”
Basically, one Mitsurugi is assigned to each branch.
There are branches without Mitsurugi, and Claire and Serena are both in the same branch.
This time, it seems that there was a suitable Mitsurugi branch nearby.
“All right,……, let’s get going then.”
“Yes. I’ll get ready right away.”
The war with Lionel just ended and we’re already going on to the next mission……
I mean, didn’t Iris say she’s going to take a break when she’s done with what she has to do at Lionel?
But if we don’t solve the human resources problem, she won’t be able to take a break after all. ……
(Iris works more than me, so I can’t whine about it. …… I’ll do my best to help Iris get some rest. ……)
I’ll get plenty of rest when this mission is over.
The more people we have, the more time she’ll have, and I’ll be able to take a break.
I told myself that and started preparing for the trip again.
◇◆◇
〜Two weeks later~
“Is this Branch 6?”
“Yes. She also reported that her collaborators have already arrived.”
“I see. Then we’ll be on our way.”
“Yes.”
We finally arrived at our destination, Branch 6, and entered the building.
Some hideouts blend in with the city, but the one we came to this time is the type that is secretly built in a secluded place.
And the moment we enter the building…
“””Welcome to the Sixth Branch! Rex-sama! Iris-sama!”””
“…… since when did this branch become like this?”
“Probably every branch would be like this if they knew Rex sama was coming to visit.”
We were greeted by countless members who lined up in an unbroken line, saluted us, and even laid out a red carpet for a super welcome.
We were more bewildered than pleased to be suddenly greeted in such a manner.
As we walked down the red carpet, a girl and a middle-aged man were standing there.
“Welcome, Rex sama. Thank you for coming all the way out here.”
“It’s been a long time since the Conference, Daisy. How have you been?”
“Yes. I was neither injured nor ill.”
The girl in front of me is Daisy Scott.
She is a girl of about 15 years old with short light blue hair and glasses, which are rather rare in this world.
She is a dwarf and looks young, but her actual age is about 25.
She is a member of the Mitsurugi and the ninth seat.
Her nickname is “Deep calm”.
“It’s been a while, Daisy-san. I’m sorry to suddenly ask for your help this time.”
“I’m fine. I want to help Rex sama.”
Daisy is usually relatively quiet.
However, when it comes to Mitsurugi’s, she can talk quite a bit.
Although she is older than me, I think that she is a cute little sister.
“How do you do, Rex-sama? I am Thomas, vice principal of Laplace Magic Academy. I look forward to working with you.”
Vice principal?!
Is it really okay for the vice principal to side with the Black and White dragon Clan?
I think he’s a winner with a pretty high position in the world!?
“You look surprised, don’t you? Actually, my wife is a Zipan. For the sake of my wife and children, if there is anything I can do, I will cooperate with you as much as possible.”
“I see. I wondered why the vice principal of Laplace Magic Academy was doing this.”
“Yes. In this case, it was about falsification of ID cards, student registration, and other background information. I will be in charge of preparing rooms and uniforms and providing information.”
This person works very hard, doesn’t he?
I had heard that he was a high-ranking official, but I didn’t expect him to be a vice principal, so this could be more support than I had expected.
“Could you please try on the uniform once? I have prepared the uniform you informed me about in advance…”
With that said, we receive a paper bag containing our uniforms.
How many years has it been since I’ve had a uniform?
It’s been about 18 years.
I went into the boys’ locker room and changed into the uniform.
“Wow, it’s a pretty cool design. This reminds me of my previous life. ……”
It’s not a wizard-like uniform, but more like a normal high school uniform.
There are several magic items that are given and little else that is worth mentioning.
The design was cool.
“Now, I don’t think Iris and the others have …… arrived yet.”
When I returned to the hall where I had left off, Thomas was waiting for me.
I thanked him for the compliment.
Then, as I was waiting for him while making small talk……
“Rex sama. Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Oh, here you are, you two ……..”
Let’s be honest.
There were two goddesses.
Iris is already looking good in her school uniform, as if she could have been a high school model like this.
I’m sure if I had a classmate like this in a previous life, I would have been imagining a lot of romantic comedies in my brain.
The military uniform was also very dignified, but the uniform has a different charm.
I thought Daisy’s hair color might make her look like a cosplayer. But it was not the case at all.
And yet, her cool, quiet junior character is sure to be a hit with the whole school.
“Um, …… does not suit me?”
“No! You both look really good together! Don’t you think so? Thomas.”
“Yes, they’re both absolutely beautiful.”
I had been dreading the mission, but the thought of seeing so much of Iris and Daisy in their uniforms motivated me.
Uniforms are wonderful!
