About two weeks had passed since the aristocratic ball she had participated in as a partner with Stella.

I never imagined that we would have our first kiss that way, but I don’t think the uproar would have been able to calm down if it hadn’t been for that way anyway.

There was no way I could beat Stella by force, and it was impossible to persuade Stella with words.

In particular, it was forbidden to use magic inside the imperial palace, so it was impossible to silence them with silence magic.

So, the way I came up with was how to cover my lips with my lips.

Rather, it was a fairly complacent response considering the possibility of a bigger riot about how to take his first kiss.

At that time, I was a bit drunk, so I was able to make such a bold decision.

It would have been absolutely impossible if he was sober. Stealing the first lips of an unmarried young lady.

It was also my first kiss since I returned to the past, so I had to live with that memory for a while.

Soft lips and the fresh and subtle scent of blue curacao.

For a while, because of that memory, my hobby of magic research didn’t progress, and I couldn’t get my hands on other things.

What I was able to do without interruption was physical training with Stella every morning and evening.

It was absurd to accidentally take my lips and shamelessly face each other from the next day, but it was a choice that I couldn’t help because if I didn’t show my face at the physical training, Stella would feel strange.

Plus, I needed to see if Stella remembered anything from the prom.

“… What happened at the prom? Didn’t you take a seat at the ball as a partner with senior Conrad and exchange greetings with Prince Antonio?”

“yes. yes, yes… .”

“My memory of the middle is vague, but I remember that senior Conrad took me to the dormitory at the end. Isn’t it?”

“Yeah, right. yes… .”

I was truly fortunate to see Stella forgetting about the part where she got drunk and ranting, the part where I kissed her to calm it down, and the part where we danced together three songs in a row on stage.

If he made a mistake, there was a high possibility that he would even block another woman’s marriage path following Hilla.

Of course, it would be natural for them to miss their wedding period just during this period of activity if they formed a Demon God Subjugation Party, but there was no need to add one more bad rumor to it.

Rumors about the young lady who made a little fuss at the ball seemed to still linger, but it didn’t seem to spread much because Stella and I weren’t known to the aristocratic society.

Prince Antonio and Hilla were the only people I spoke to at the ballroom that day, so it must have been difficult to be sure of Stella’s identity with me.

Of course, since Delfina was in the same room, she questioned me and Stella for participating in the ball later, but it seemed that her sister hadn’t witnessed the decisive moment when their lips met.

“If you were going to participate in the prom as a partner with Stella, you should have tipped me off too, brother.”

“Sorry, Delphina. I also happened to be a part of it all of a sudden, so I didn’t have time.”

“Come to think of it, I remember hearing Stella senior’s voice in the middle of the prom. It’s like you were calling out your brother’s name… .”

“… Uh, I was surprised anyway. Delfina, I thought you would go on stage with Prince Antonio. With your personality, I thought you wouldn’t do anything that would make you many enemies like that.”

“I wouldn’t have done it normally. But anyway, now I’m in debt to Prince Antonio, and I have to show some level of intimacy with him so that the development project in Perdalos can be trusted. Now, for better or for worse, it’s time to get the attention.”

By any chance, I wondered if Prince Antonio had succeeded in winning the favor of this insensitive sister, but as if it was a mistake, Delfina seemed to have moved that way because this time, too, it was a thoroughly profitable act.

“Okay, you don’t have to worry because Delphine and you do the best at drawing attention and turning it in a good way.”

“By the way, there is one plan that will draw attention to this evaluation match… Oh, no. Pretend you didn’t hear this, brother.”

“Was it something I shouldn’t have heard?”

“I don’t doubt that my brother will be lighthearted, but if possible, I want to surprise him on the day before the evaluation.”

“Yes, Delphina, if that’s the case with you.”

After talking with Delfina like that, it wasn’t long before the midterm exam in the first semester of the 4th year arrived.

While watching my sister’s game after a brief evaluation match with a senior student from the Ministry of Magic designated as my opponent, I finally understood what Delphina meant by wanting to surprise her.

In the beginning, Delfina, who was somewhat behind in the battle with the opponent 4th grade, suddenly awakened as a spear expert during the game, and then completely overwhelmed the opponent by freely handling the blue energy.

Awakening in the middle of the game, as well as winning by freely handling the power of the spear expert at the same time, was enough material to make the hearts of all students hot.

“Winner, Delfina Perdalos! The one who reached the spear expert is the winner!!”

Even the moderator, who was supposed to remain neutral, couldn’t hide his excitement and celebrated the birth of the youngest spear expert.

The faction that supported her sister’s opponents was already shouting the names of Delphina Perdalos, and even the opponents who were taken to the church said they were happy that Delphina became the last opponent that Spear Expert could reach.

She was an astounding younger sister with one talent that really drew attention in many ways.

It was to the point of giving goosebumps a little when I saw her rejoicing with an expression that she did not expect to become a spear expert.

Awakening as a spear expert in the evaluation match that can attract many people’s attention.

To be honest, it was an assumption that made no sense, but Delphina must have calculated everything and moved.

Signs of her sister’s awakening had already been appearing since the end of the first semester of last year, so it wouldn’t be too strange if she woke up at the end of last year or the beginning of this year.

Rather, I wondered if it was too late, but I never thought they were preparing for an event like this. Even though she is my sister, she was a really great person.

Anyway, through this awakening, Delfina became the 10th among the experts and the youngest among the spear experts.

If he had trained steadily and awakened at the end of last year, he would probably have been able to go up to the 8th, but he must have thought that the benefit of awakening in the middle of the evaluation match was much greater than that.

Thanks to this, her sister’s ransom began to skyrocket without knowing the end. Now it’s almost to the extent that even ten bodies are not enough.

As a prime example, high-ranking noble ladies, who in the past could only get a chance to meet if Delphina asked them to, are now approaching their sister in order to build friendships first.

What kind of new work will he do this time with the network he has gathered like that?

No matter how much you think about it, Delphina must be living in the future that has changed the most dramatically when comparing the past life to the present life.

It feels like watching them bloom and fly to their heart’s content in this life in order to achieve the dream they couldn’t achieve in the past life.

That alone definitely made it worthwhile to run around busily as soon as I returned to the past.

The three elves who were newly admitted to the academy also seemed to have adapted to the academy to some extent after half a semester.

In fact, the other two elves except for Wipe were like time bombs that could explode at any moment, so I was worried that they would be able to properly adapt to the academy.

Whether they like it or not, by going through the evaluation match, which is essential for all students, the three people who seemed to be looking at the inferior race at first have changed a lot now.

It was confirmed by talking to each of the three elves after the evaluation match.

“Wipp, how do you feel about losing?”

“… Learned a lot. I was a frog in the well.”

“Yeah, knowing that is enough.”

Wipe, who was narrowly defeated after a close battle with another freshman, started to talk a little more with the other students after admitting his weakness.

“Ugh, break up… ! Still, when I was in the forest of the world tree, I was called good at archery… !!”

“Shooting a static target and hitting a moving opponent are completely different skills, Eldrica. The same goes for shooting arrows, of course. To practice such things, it is always recommended that two or more people use the archery training room.”

“… Ooh, the Prophet didn’t tell me that… .”

“Senior Xian probably wanted you to realize it yourself. From now on, learn how to shoot a bow while interacting with other archery club students.”

“Yeah… .”

Eldrica, who was attacked and knocked down while standing still and shooting statically, also started interacting with other students little by little for her growth.

In fact, unlike the other two, if it was Luis who had beaten the other student, he was worried the most.

Unlike Wip and Eldrika, who gained something from defeat, an absurd victory had a high chance of making Ruis’s personality even more arrogant.

That’s why it was Louis, the junior elf from the Ministry of Magic, who gave advice much more carefully than the other two.

“… Ruis, even though you were lucky enough to win this evaluation match, it would have been your defeat if the opposing mage hadn’t made a mistake in chanting out of tension.”

“… Senior Conrad, I have a question for you.”

“yes?”

“Do you know who the opponent I just faced in the evaluation match is?”

“… Bridget Lawrence. I come from the Viscount Lawrence family, which produces magic researchers for generations.”

“okay. Bridget Lawrence… . If you’re an author, it wouldn’t hurt to talk about it the next time you meet… .”

“… yes. If you think so, take care of yourself.”

Seeing Ruis’s attitude of thinking about exchanges with other students before I could say anything, it seemed that there was no need for advice anymore.

Of course, since both Eldrica and Ruis had done something since the beginning of the semester, it would be difficult to change the perception that they were cheap elves overnight.

However, since both Eldrica and Luis had the beautiful appearance of elves and the rare value of being from the forest of the World Tree, they would probably soon be able to blend in naturally with the other students.

Like senior Xian, who formed a lot of good relationships within the same department, even though their human relationships weren’t that wide.

Meanwhile, senior Xian, the first elf of the academy, is wondering how he is doing these days… .

“Comrade Konrad, hold the reins properly. At this rate, I won’t be able to go ten steps and fall off the horse.”

In the middle of the day, I was teaching me horseback riding at the riding center of the academy.
