These days, I thought that life at the academy was getting weird.

“It should be replaced here. Now, who will solve the next problem? As expected, we can——”

──Trick.

“Is Seok busy? Jinwoo Vibalt sleeping next to you? Come out and release this.”

“Eh?”

“Let it go.”

[Attribute: [Human Totem] activates.]

I was just sitting still with my arms folded, but the questions of the instructors avoiding me.

“pass! pass here! It’s empty here!”

“Yayayayaya! Han Yujin over there! Han Yujin is on the defensive!”

“ah! turn around! Spin the ball!”

“Nice manager!”

Even the balls and people avoiding me during gym class.

“boss! If the boss didn’t block it properly, it would have been a real big deal. Thank you~”

really. It was clear that the feeling of being an important defender of the team while doing nothing was a feeling no one had ever experienced.

“What on earth is it that people do to this extent?”

Not just today, human totems boasted quite useful effects in many situations.

There was an incident at the Budokan not too long ago, and the influence within the organization increased when I went out for a night walk and walked blankly.

【Main Story (Gangs of kalione)】

[You, Carlione’s successor and active as a hitman. You defeated enemies from countless organizations and began to write your own narrative. Indeed, what will be at the end?

death to enemies. Glory to the family.]

[Achievement condition: Increased influence within the family]

[Target Impact: 2761 / 3000]

[※ Achievement rewards may change depending on the result.]

And as a result, we were able to increase the influence of Gangs of Carlione, one of the main stories, so it could be said to be one of the most well-used characteristics in recent times.

So, with the thought that I should do a little research on this, I experimented on Jin-woo.

“What do you think the boss is doing now?”

“yes. You just sit there.”

“What are you talking about? Aren’t you sitting down and thinking about the club’s future?”

I could see there was a problem.

The problem is that no matter what I do, people think I’m doing something.

It’s a shame because everything went in my favor, but if it stays like this, it’ll be a little harder to pretend to be weak and bluff or arouse the other person’s carelessness.

“Broken, this is not it! president! When you are resting, you should rest well! Have a coffee here and stay slow!”

I stopped by the cafe ‘Ciello Naturno’ to take a break during club activities.

Even here, I sigh at the reality of seeing my rest as work while picking up a coffee.

“yes?”

I found a woman with a familiar appearance sitting on the terrace.

She rummaged through her glass with a straw as if she hadn’t thought about anything.

It was Yuli Rodmang, the vice-president of the Seoul Hero Academy student council and a recent colleague of mine.

I raised my head and looked this way, perhaps feeling my gaze on that side as well.

Then, she stands up from her seat as if she had misunderstood the lack of energy just now and puts on a happy expression.

“Hey, junior, what are you doing at this hour? Store management?”

“… … I’m just here to cool off a bit. What about you?”

“Ah, I’m just similar.”

After placing the coffee she was holding on the table, she naturally sat across from me.

“But, looking at something cute doesn’t relieve your stress, right?”

She leans over slightly and finds the hamster cleaning the floor. She raises her index finger and gently strokes the hamster’s head.

“I’m sure that’s right.”

After all, it was here that I came out to get some fresh air.

“What are you so stressed about, senior? student president?”

She smiled bitterly at my question and shook her head.

“It’s fortunate that I can handle it on my own when it comes to school work. But, this is a family affair.”

“ah.”

If you say the family of Yuli Rodman, you must be referring to the Rodman family, which is located in Romania.

Is there anything embarrassing about the Rodman family at this time?

I wanted to ask what had happened with an honest heart, but I couldn’t help but be cautious about asking because it was a family matter, not my own.

Seeing as they draw the line by saying it’s a family affair, I don’t think they’ll tell me they’re asking.

So I just wanted to cheer you up a little… … .

“No, these days, in the world, are you still nagging your daughter for losing to her friend in bragging rights?”

huh?

“My dad’s friend’s son did this and that, but what are you doing? do you have a boyfriend When are you coming home, annoying. really!”

uh huh

“Okay, so what? I have an important appointment this weekend, so come home? When I said I wasn’t going, I sold the family name and told me not to dream of Jiwon if he doesn’t come?”

Agjak-

The ice in her mouth is crushed in an instant.

“You can understand if your juniors are also related to famous companies, right? The superiors think that as the family grows, the bloodlines should act for the family.”

Agjak-

“I don’t like that very much.”

Unlike the first time, her expression became very ferocious, but the way she stroked the hamster’s head was very kind.

of course.

– Take… … !

The hamster seemed very frightened, though.

“Then, senior, are you going to your parents’ house this weekend?”

“yes. maybe?”

“Then it’s fine. Please take care of that this time.”

“yes? Is that it?”

She tilted her head as if asking what she was talking about.

Did you really forget this?

“I decided to give you the elixir for your family. Did you really forget?”

She trembled as if she had just remembered it.

“Yeah, it was… … was it?”

“Nah? Do you know how long it’s been since you said you’d wait for a month?”

In fact, even I forgot.

That’s why there must be so many elixirs coming in these days.

There are many elixirs that you cannot eat because you have not yet met the intake requirements and that you cannot use because the situation is not coming.

Still, I need to put as much pressure on Kim as possible.

“I am going to Europe to see my family. Please have a good time, have a conversation with the family head, and take care of my elixir and hope to see you again safely. Seniors.”

“Somehow, it seems that only the last one got stronger?”

“Isn’t that a misunderstanding?”

I can receive the elixir only when you are safe. No way.

“Sigh… … Do not worry about it. As you said, I’ll be sure to bring the elixir when I go home this time.”

Saying that as if she had given up, she leaned back in her chair and tilted her head back.

“Ah~ It’s annoying~”

… … this.

It was clear that he was telling me to listen.

* * *

The evening of Walpurgis Night.

“brush.”

“Yes.”

“Fix more with a spray here.”

“All right.”

“The handkerchief is too much. Bring something a little simpler and more sophisticated.”

Right now, surrounded by several maids, I was being dressed up.

“Put the back of your head with a knife.”

“I’m going to clear my head. young master.”

“Certainly, our young master has good skin. As for the skin, there is no place to cover with concealer.”

“Ah, there. That’s good enough. fixed there.”

“Yes.”

Did the Hollywood actors who were dressed up in old documentaries feel like this?

The feeling of being surrounded by many people with my eyes closed and dressed up made me feel insecure and humiliated rather than superior.

But why can’t I say anything… … .

“It would be nice to put a little more color on the lips. It’s not even a tint, I’m going to put on some lip gloss.”

It was because Alessia, as their representative, was directly leading my makeup.

“Well. That’s fine. young master. Mm-ma-um-ma between lips. Can you?”

As she said, curl your lips inward to make them spread more naturally.

This scent… … Is it black cherry?

“Yes, perfect. It is certain that anyone at this level will show awe and respect.”

Alessia nodded as if she was finally satisfied.

At the same time, the maids lined up behind her also nodded and raised their thumbs.

“Perfect. young master!”

“You are beautiful. young master!”

“There’s no way anyone there could have been better than the boy!”

It sounds like something you say to cheer me on… … As the person in charge, I couldn’t help but blush with shame.

“I know, stop… … .”

“Bocchan, you are ashamed!”

“Carr. Be cute.”

“Then we’ll just leave.”

“Please be careful. young master!”

Even in the middle of that, I saw them smiling and laughing as they said they liked each other, and I couldn’t help but laugh.

Because the atmosphere wasn’t too bad.

-young master. I have come to see you.”

As I was looking in the mirror to see if there was anything strange, I heard Parnello’s voice from outside the door.

The time that appeared on the clock on the table was 21:00.

“yes. get out.”

When I opened the door and went outside, I could see Parnello standing there in a slightly different outfit than usual.

Unlike his usual suit, he is wearing a suit that feels familiar.

When I checked the engraving on the button, I could see that it had a very familiar pattern on it.

“The Maestro’s clothes?”

“Yes. I am also heading towards becoming a member of Carlione. If my clothes affect my status, shouldn’t I wear my best?”

Seeing him smiling and talking, I smiled and nodded my head.

“That’s right. My father?”

“They are out there waiting for the witches.”

“Let’s go there too.”

“Yes. young master.”

As I followed Parnello, who led the way, into the garden, I saw the back of my father, who had already come out first and was looking at the sky.

“Don, I brought you the young master.”

Parnello walks up to his father first and greets him.

I also followed him and approached my father, then gently lowered my head.

“came. father.”

“yes.”

My father turns slowly to my voice and looks at me.

“It looks like the maids gave us their strength today.”

My father, who patted me on the shoulder with a smile, turned and pointed to the sky.

“there. Can you see it?”

“Yes?”

I follow my father’s raised hand and look at the sky.

Gray clouds floating in the night sky. The phenomenon of a red moon emitting bright light as if it were asserting itself through the gap made me feel strange.

“A Red Moon on Walpurgis Night. It’s going to be a fun night.”

A black dot begins to appear in the center of the reddish blade.

dot? No, it was something other than a dot.

As time goes by, it becomes bigger and bigger, and coming towards this place laughing and humming, it can’t be described as a dot.

“Parnello.”

“Yes, Don.”

“Prepare to greet the witches.”

Tonight.

Carlione moves.
