Jipiji (知彼知己).

It means knowing the enemy and knowing yourself.

It’s such a natural thing that it feels old-fashioned.

But it also meant that it was just as important.

To know ‘myself’.

It is safe to say that this is the beginning of all challenges.

In that respect, Ha Seung-ri is what I can do.

And for what I couldn’t do, self-objectification was over to some extent.

It was only when I was an immature middle school student that I could become anything.

I thought I could do anything else.

As I get older, I start to feel that even the university in the neighborhood right next door is, ‘Oh, it was a harder place to go to than I thought.’

In fact, objectification of myself usually ends when I reach high school.

But.

My current situation is so special that it doesn’t even need to be explained.

I didn’t know much about the ‘Victor’ I came to live with.

In the meantime, the secret document of the student council president found.

「Student Council Officer Personal Record Book: Victor」

It was natural to pique my interest.

In addition to simply getting to know me, I think I can unlock knowledge I didn’t know, so I have to be patient.

Palak.

I unfolded the paper and read the contents slowly.

「Student Council Officer Personal Record Book: Victor

Residence in the Kingdom: Arklight Nature, City of Southern Light.

Family Relations: None.

Companionship: Doesn’t seem to matter.

Fiancé: Victoria Arclight.”

“… … .”

Naturally, it seemed to be a document written when she was still the fiancée of the Arkwright family.

who wrote it?

The current student council president Mikhail?

Orca, the former student council president?

read it some more

「Speciality: Arclight-style lightsaber-type.

Personality: Stubborn and cold-hearted. Ruthlessness is a plus factor as a member of the executive committee.

Symbol: It seems that there is no particular like or dislike.”

It was a fairly detailed record.

I would have written down my personality and symbols.

However, this was a level I already knew.

It was when I turned one more page to see if there would be a more special record.

what is written there.

It catches my attention quite a bit.

“Victor Avon… ?”

Avon.

Where did you hear that name?

Did Viktor have a surname like this?

“Victor, what are you doing? I need to find the papers soon! Just find the piece of paper that says ‘March budget statement’!”

At Victoria’s urging, I folded the paper I was looking at and put it into my bosom.

Time is definitely money.

All you have to do now is find the documents you want.

“What kind of guy has so many nymph-related papers? What is the ‘request to search for nymphs throughout Ludens’?”

It was the time when I was wrestling with wads of paper while listening to Victoria’s grumbling.

Enio, who was quietly flipping through the papers, touched something with his hand.

“Isn’t this? ‘Budget Breakdown for March’. Certainly there was.”

“Look where you are.”

Victoria took the paper from Enio’s hand.

Victoria, who was reading it.

“This… .”

His delicate eyebrows moved slightly.

Then, “This will be clear evidence. 500 million ren. It’s all used here,” he said, unfolding the paper and pointing at something with his index finger.

At the place Victoria pointed out, it was written like this.

「Nymph Relief Club Budget Support: 520 million René Approval – Student Council President Orca Arclight」.

A nymph rescue club.

Didn’t Arnoi growl that Orca cut the budget and ruined this place?

That must have been the reason why Arnoi hated Orca.

However, to say that he supported 500 million won for club activities.

It’s not a budget cut, but isn’t it at the level of completely driving it?

It was a story that contradicted Arnoi’s words.

However, the anger Arnoi felt at that time was as pure as white sugar.

If so, it must mean that there is something wrong with this budget execution.

Victorica seemed to have answered this, and spoke softly.

“It was stolen.”

They stole money pretending to execute the budget.

That made sense.

“I stole it by using innocent Arnoi. In the first place, it is possible that the Nymph Relief Club was a laundromat to siphon off the budget. Collect all the documents related to the nymphs you just brought.”

Although it was Victoriaka who had many loopholes these days and acted foolishly.

As expected, he was a guy who did it for sure.

I was a little moved by Victoria’s resoluteness, as if a light bulb had been turned on.

Yes, this is the Victorian Arclight.

“It’s weird here too. The donation amount of the Nymph Relief Club and the receipt do not match at all. Also what is written here.”

Evidence pours in.

And the one who wrote such a sloppy ledger was the accountant of the student council.

“Mikhail K Cresford. It was also stupid. If we forcefully fill this hole in our budget little by little from other sources, problems will arise in the end.”

It was as Victoria said.

“To think these guys were sitting in the chairperson’s seat. can’t tolerate I’ll let people know right away.”

Victoria rises from her seat while holding the papers.

I blocked that guy.

“It is late.”

“But you saw it too.”

“I saw it. but will you be okay? It’s right before final exams. Do you think students will be interested in something like this? Also, their resistance will be formidable.”

Most of Ludens’ students are busy making a living.

Most of them are petit bourgeois who cannot be angry about it even if it is revealed that someone swallowed a lot of money.

In other words, Victoria’s side may not be much.

On the other hand, the opponent was a real person who was holding the power right now.

If the resistance is strong, Victoria may be attacked in reverse.

I wonder if it was the second semester at the end of the term when Mikhail was losing his power.

Fighting him head-on in the lush first semester like now is like hitting a rock with an egg.

But Victoria said.

“Now that I know it, there’s no way I can tolerate something like this. Even if it means killing myself. We need to thoroughly find out where this siphoned off budget was spent.”

“Victoria, you might end up giving up everything you own. Your position and qualifications. You may lose everyone around you. It’s that kind of fight.”

An episode that takes place in the first semester, not the second semester.

I couldn’t even predict what would happen.

“As long as the Orca Arclight is involved, you, who bears the name of the same Arclight, are bound to take responsibility. Also, you were the secretary of the former student council.”

It was the last persuasion.

But Victoria seemed to have already made up her mind.

“I don’t need it if all I have is accumulated in infidelity and dirty schemes. And the people around me won’t leave me for something like this.”

“indeed.”

indeed.

I didn’t think that this tongue-in-cheek Viktor would be able to convince Victoria.

I hadn’t even thought of that in the first place.

I just wanted to check.

I mean Victoria’s sincerity.

And Victoria was exactly the same as I knew and liked.

A girl who does not succumb to injustice.

Even if he has to give up everything he has because of that, he’s the type to say what he has to say.

“good. Then I will help you.”

“Victor, you?”

Victoria had an expression of surprise.

Was it any surprise that I jumped into something that would neither benefit nor harm me?

But.

I was just doing what I wanted to do.

To fight and win against the overwhelmingly strong on the side of the innocent weak.

It’s like a hero in a game.

And it perfectly matched my ‘self-regulation’.

Of course, I didn’t explain those words one by one.

“Enio, help yourself too. You are a representative with an obligation to keep the student council in check.”

Enio, who had his arms crossed, narrowly opened his eyes at my words.

Then, looking at the numerous documents, he said a word.

“I don’t think this would have happened without the permission of the delegates. They are delegates appointed to keep the student council in check. Some of them are related to Orca and Mikhail. I will look into it.”

Enio also seemed quite sincere.

I can trust him when I see his playful tone and expression.

“Hoeheh, hoeheh, loathing… !”

the next morning.

A strange girl was running around the grounds of Ludens’ academy, making strange noises.

“Who are you?”

As I grabbed him and asked him, a girl with short brown hair stopped.

Now I see, my ears are pointy.

Are you a nymph?

“I am Hoenoi… ! This time, I’m a newcomer to work in the newspaper club… !”

Is it Hoenoi from the newspaper club?

It looks like he came in a while ago.

Suddenly, Ludens has added one more nymph.

I said to that guy.

“Hoenoi, give me a newspaper.”

“It’s 5,000 Renae… !”

It’s expensive.

But I thought it was worth paying.

Jiggle.

“I definitely got the money… ! Then, in addition… !”

He was running around again with his newspaper bag tight. I was watching the scene with a somewhat precarious mind, and I moved my gaze to the newspaper I had just bought.

「Special news! Discovery of the unnatural budget usage of the current student president ‘Mikhail K Cresford’… !”

“According to the anonymous submissions, the past Student Council and previous Student Council illegal use of budget—.”

“The estimate of the stolen funds is at least 500 million Rennes!”

In the newspaper, the details that we copied and posted to the mailbox of the newspaper department were written in detail yesterday morning.

I can picture in my head how the Daily of the Newspaper Department canceled all articles that should have been published in the morning, wrote new special articles, and rushed to print new newspapers.

“What do you mean? seizure… ?”

“At least 500 million?”

“How many chickens would you have with that money… .”

The whispers of students reading the newspaper can be heard here and there.

The ripple effect seems to be there.

“This is just the beginning, though.”

I decided to attend class first.

Even though it was a class, it was self-study time because there was not much time left for the final exam.

“Did you read the newspaper?”

“Is it real?”

“Isn’t someone making a false report?”

“I heard that the student council president’s stigma and signature were all there?”

“Hey, Daily. Is it something you can trust?”

The students’ whispers are loud.

For that reason, teacher Berajurak, who was sitting in a chair at the lectern and had his eyes closed, had to warn the students.

“Be quiet during self-study.”

But.

It was not enough to calm the energetic students for a long time.

Shuk.

who raises his hand

“Are you number 40 Neva? tell me.”

“I am, teacher. Is it true that the Student Council said that the budget was used for strange things?”

“Our teachers do not touch the autonomy of the student council at all. If it’s a question like that, ask other guys, not me.”

At Bergerac’s words, the eyes of the students turned to Victoria, the student council executive.

And some go to me too.

this.

It’ll be annoying for a while, I thought.

so the class is over.

I headed to the club room to avoid the annoying crowd of students.

Nike, who had already been there before, showed me the newspaper.

“Victor, I read the newspaper… !?”

“I saw.”

“Someone reported it! The informant’s tentative name is Kira.”

what is kira

Is it Victoria’s sense?

“… … .”

“I can tell by the look on your face! Viktor did this!”

“How did know?”

“Victor gets wrinkles on his chin when he has something to hide… ! It’s a very subtle difference, but seeing Viktor up close than anyone these days, I can tell them apart… !”

This is what I feel these days, but Nike quickly figured out about me.

It was only then that I realized that I would not be able to use the lie that I could use 3 times a day with Nike.

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret… ! But you’re doing this without consulting me. If you had told me, I would have helped you with something… ! We, we are partners… .”

Nike seemed to regret that I had acted on my own.

But I just shook my head.

“It is dangerous. It’s good to not get caught up in it. And Nike, you’re not suited for a mud fight like this.”

“yes? I like to play with clay… ! Wild roses bloom even on mud… ! Anyway, next time something like this happens, be sure to tell me.”

Nike continued to emphasize that he should also inform himself.

Suddenly, it reminds me of the fact that Nike was bullied in first grade and second grade C class.

“… … .”

Did the fact that you thought of Nike and didn’t tell them about it made you feel like you were ostracized?

Thinking that way, I wondered if I hadn’t been considerate.

“i get it. I’ll be sure to tell you next time.”

“yes! It’s even bigger than that! Arnoy is furious when he sees this newspaper!”

“Are you Arnoi?”

When I turned my head, I saw Arnoi trembling in the corner of the club room.

The boy frowned and shouted.

“Very nymph-hating… ! I thought the Nymph Relief Club’s budget was cut… . Was it used elsewhere… ! This Arnoi was tricked… !”

Yes, I am angry because I was taken advantage of without knowing anything.

“Could it be that this Arnoi didn’t graduate because of Orca, the bad student president…? ? It must be like that… !”

No, I don’t think it’s because of Orca.

But he was so angry that I just stayed still.

Finally, Arnoi clenched his fists and shouted.

“We can’t stay still like this… ! The nymph sisters are all standing up… ! It is to bring down the embezzler… !”
