Since the Cultural Festival, the rumors about Liakade in the Academy had gradually improved.
In everyone’s eyes, she was no longer the willful, violent Curse Child who only bullied other students.
Now, to other students, she was just someone with a unique appearance and thoughts, but kind-hearted and highly talented in magic.
In fact, many girls in the Academy had become little fans of Liakade, feeling admiration for her.
“This should be fine, right.”
Liakade stood at the Dormitory entrance, sticking a small advertisement on her door.
It listed the location of another classroom, announcing the new place for the Yorozuya.
This was something they had decided before the Cultural Festival even began.
Field had thought that letting others enter Liakade’s room so casually was too improper.
Although Liakade didn’t mind, Field insisted on changing it.
In the end, Liakade agreed to Field’s request.
After all, finding an empty classroom to use as an office was much more convenient than her own Dormitory, with more space.
Plus, this empty classroom was also applied for by Field to the Academy, so Liakade barely had to do anything.
Why not go along with it?
So, Liakade decided to post a small ad on her room door to let other clients know she had moved.
But since it was just one, and on her own Dormitory, it couldn’t possibly be taken down by the Disciplinary Committee again, right?
However, speak of the devil and the devil appears.
Just as Liakade was wondering if the Disciplinary Committee would come to stop her again, a familiar voice sounded.
“Liakade, didn’t we say last time that posting ads in the Dormitory isn’t allowed?”
Sistem walked over to Liakade as she spoke.
“Uh…”
Liakade felt a bit embarrassed, not expecting to run into Sistem at such a timing.
“I just posted one, and it’s on my own door. Is this really not allowed?”
“No. It affects the school’s atmosphere.”
Sistem said firmly, reaching out to tear down the ad.
“Hey.”
Just as Sistem reached out, another hand firmly grabbed her wrist.
“There’s no such rule in the school regulations. Why do you have to interfere?”
To speak like this to both a Disciplinary Committee member and a royal like Sistem, the person’s status must also be impressive.
Sure enough, the one who stopped Sistem was another royal of the Academy, Field.
“The Academy just hadn’t considered it before. It’ll be added to the regulations next semester.”
Sistem turned to look at Field, locking eyes without backing down.
Why does my sister always like to oppose me?
“That’s next semester’s business. It’s not in the rules yet.”
Field still held Sistem’s wrist, refusing to back down.
“And there are so many people in the Academy who abuse their power. You don’t care about those big issues, but you come here to handle such trivial matters?”
Field was, of course, referring to people like Eric—those in the Academy who bullied others with their family power.
If not for Liakade’s help, those two girls might have been in real trouble.
As a Disciplinary Committee member, Sistem hadn’t even noticed.
So Field used this to criticize Sistem’s poor job performance.
“…Yeah, you’re right.”
Sistem fell silent at Field’s words, finally lowering her hand.
“It is my failure in supervision, losing sight of the bigger picture over the small things.”
Sistem felt Field’s argument was reasonable.
Tackling bullying in the Academy should be a higher priority.
Also, seeing the contents of Liakade’s ad, she probably wouldn’t leave it up for long, likely tearing it down herself after a while.
“Fine, but next semester you can’t do this again.”
Sistem looked at Field, then glanced at Liakade, and finally let them go.
“Heh, thanks.”
Hearing Sistem finally relent, Field chuckled lightly, accepting with a teasing tone.
“Hmph, what a perfunctory thank you.”
Sistem snorted, then showed a meaningful smile.
“By the way, you’re so protective of Liakade. Just for an ad, you come out to argue for her. I’m your elder sister, you know?”
“You’re the one being too strict, aren’t you?”
Field retorted in exasperation.
“Oh, really?”
Sistem raised her eyebrow, a hint of mischief in her voice.
“Didn’t you three come to the Royal Palace together to celebrate after the Cultural Festival? Didn’t you have a great time?”
At Sistem’s words, Field’s expression turned awkward, and Liakade’s face instantly flushed red.
“You—you spied on us!?”
Field immediately pressed Sistem’s shoulder and demanded.
“So urgent?”
Sistem was startled by Field’s reaction, not expecting her to react so strongly.
She brushed off Field’s hand from her shoulder.
“I just said you all had fun. I didn’t say you did anything. My foolish sister, why are you so nervous?”
“Eh? I—I’m not—I didn’t!”
Field realized her slip and quickly waved her hands in denial.
“So, did you do something?”
Sistem, who had only been speaking casually, suddenly realized that something must have happened that night.
She turned to look at Liakade, whose face looked off.
Knowing but pretending to ask, she said,
“Liakade, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?”
Not that something happened, but something did.
“Hey! Liakade! Don’t just go red on your own!”
Hearing Sistem’s teasing, Field glanced at Liakade and saw her face had turned as red as a ripe apple.
“This—this isn’t something I can control!”
Liakade shyly turned her head, embarrassed just remembering that night.
Her head felt hot, and she couldn’t help but blush.
“Oh my, it seems you really did have a fun, fun, fun night.”
Sistem deliberately stressed the last few syllables, further provoking the frantic Field.
“Tch, think whatever you like.”
Faced with Sistem’s mischief, Field finally gave up resisting and let her say whatever she wanted.
“Enough, I won’t tease you two anymore.”
Sistem finally stopped mocking them, waved her hand, and turned to leave.
Before she left, she reminded them again,
“Remember not to post these ads next semester.”
Watching Sistem’s figure gradually disappear into the distance, Field couldn’t help but complain.
“This woman really is nosy.”
“Field, why did you suddenly come to find me today?”
