She was still a younger sister who devoted all her energy to managing personal connections.

Is it not satisfied with the fact that he entered the group of Prince Antonio, the second most precious member of the academy?

Now, it seemed that he wanted to continue his relationship with Saint Clare, who was the first and most precious person.

Probably because I was so busy the other day that I didn’t have time to talk.

I haven’t had time to meet with my colleagues lately because of student council work, so even a short time like a few tens of minutes must be a valuable opportunity for Delfina.

I wasn’t a heartless person to the point of rejecting a request from my younger sister whom I hadn’t seen in a while.

“It will work.”

“Thank you, brother.”

First of all, the briefing on the strategy to deal with monsters was almost over, and even this was just a process of reconfirming the story we had shared in the first place.

It wouldn’t matter if I donated the remaining time to Delphina.

“Oh, long time no see, Delphina!”

“It’s been a while, Lulu senior.”

“Congratulations on becoming student president, Delfina.”

“Yeah. Thank you for helping with the election with Ms. Hilla the other day, Stella.”

“You look very busy these days, Junior Delphina.”

“Thanks. If it wasn’t for Xian’s letter of recommendation, I probably wouldn’t have imagined it.”

“Was my cheering speech helpful?”

“Of course it is, Saint Clare. Could it be that the saintess also had a relationship with my older brother? I couldn’t even imagine at the time… .”

Seeing Delphina having a long-awaited conversation with my colleagues, I also got up and walked away.

While Delphina was talking about this and that with my party members, I also wanted to make efficient use of the remaining time.

The place where the moved step arrived is not another place. It was Prince Antonio’s group, now my sister’s colleague.

“Hello, Prince Antonio. This is Delphina’s older brother, Conrad Perdalos.”

Since I would still be recognized as the next head of Perdalos, I needed to say hello to Prince Antonio, whom Delfina was indebted to.

Even if it wasn’t Delphina, there was nothing wrong with being friendly with Prince Antonio.

“I’ve heard a lot of stories from Lady Delphina.

I already had something I wanted to tell you, and I’m just grateful that you came to me first.”

“What are you going to talk about?”

“I want to express my apologies for insulting your sister, Lady Delphina, the other day.”

Prince Antonio’s expression of apology that jumped out without hesitation was something I hadn’t expected.

First of all, the first reason was that he apologized to the Viscount Noble as a prince.

And the second reason is that he took responsibility and apologized as the representative even though his subordinates committed it.

Finally, the third reason was that he had already expressed his apology to Delfina, but he also conveyed his apology to me one more time.

“Thank you for expressing your apology. I’m really fine, Prince Antonio.

And haven’t you already apologized to Delphina? The younger sister’s human relationships are something that the younger sister will take care of on her own, so it’s not something for me to talk about here and there.”

“It’s a separate thing from that. Anyway, I will take your apology as accepted.”

“Of course, Prince.”

It was something I felt in my first life, but Prince Antonio was definitely a decent person.

Among the people from the imperial family who value bloodline and family, Prince Antonio was a person who was unusually committed to recruiting talent with a focus on ability.

I don’t know if Stella was able to be appointed as a warrior even after it was revealed that she came from an orphanage in her previous life, but Prince Antonio’s advocacy remarks must have had a considerable impact.

“Come to think of it, it seems like you put all your energy into various things in the last student council president election.”

“I did write a letter of recommendation in my name for Delfina, who is running for student council president.”

“It seems that other than that, I mobilized my acquaintances to promote various things.”

“Since everyone has a personal relationship with my sister, they probably wanted Delfina to win the election for student president.”

“Well, let’s do it like that.”

With Prince Antonio’s intelligence, he would have been able to figure out what I did behind the scenes to get Delphina elected.

Even so, the election was already over, and above all, I didn’t do anything that would sting my conscience, so it doesn’t matter.

“Anyway, since Lady Delphina has become the student council president, you might be in danger in the Perdalos family’s succession structure.”

“It doesn’t really matter. I don’t really care about family succession.”

“Are these not empty words?”

“Rather, for the sake of the Perdalos estate, I think it would be much better for my sister to inherit it. I have no talent for management.

Wouldn’t it be natural for you to clearly identify what you can and cannot do, and leave the lacking parts to other talented people?”

As if my remark was very unexpected, Prince Antonio’s eyes widened.

It was probably because I was reciting his own philosophy, which Prince Antonio had never revealed to anyone else until now.

“I think you and I will get along well.”

“Thank you, Prince Antonio.”

He held out Prince Antonio’s hand with a faint smile and shook hands.

“Even so, I have no intention of giving up winning this hunting festival.”

“Me too, Prince Antonio.”

We ended the handshake by holding each other’s hands tightly, and at the same time, the conversation between me and Prince Antonio ended.

Before returning to my group, I turned my head to the left and moved my gaze to the young lady who was watching the conversation between me and Prince Antonio.

To the red-haired young lady whom I heard about several times through Delfina and Stella.

“I heard about it from Delfina and Stella, but was it Lady Hilla Warburg?”

“That’s right, senior Konrad Perdalos.”

“Thank you for being friendly with Delphina. I wish you well in the future.”

“I am very much indebted to Miss Delphina.”

After a light greeting with Ms. Hilla, and returning to my original seat, Delfina seemed to be ending her conversation with my colleagues.

Grabbing his younger sister by the shoulder, they meant to return to their respective seats.

“Did you talk well?”

“Yes, brother.”

“The hunting festival is about to start, so go back to the party and get ready. It’s time for us to prepare to enter.”

“All right. See you next time on the podium.”

“You are full of confidence.”

Objectively, Prince Antonio’s strength was by no means weak, so Delfina’s confidence had its own basis.

Ariel from the Ministry of Magic was the top of the class until I took the top spot, and Dalbert from the Theology Department was a monk from the Holy Land.

Even Lady Hilla, the first year senior like Delfina, is not lacking in skills considering her spirit.

When it came to Prince Antonio, there was nothing to say.

He was the head of the entire swordsmanship department, but he also had a knack for magic, and he was like a superman who could even handle a bow and a spear.

I had a feeling it would definitely be a formidable competitor.

Anyway, my purpose was not to win the hunting festival, but to remove the risk factors that endanger the academy.

Winning was only an afterthought.

… Oh, yes.

“Delphina. Wait a minute before we go.”

“What are you doing, brother?”

“If you need to go deep and hunt, don’t enter the northwest if possible.”

“Yeah? Northwest?”

“yes. It could be dangerous.”

Delphina tilted her head at my words and put on an expression that she didn’t understand, but for now, she cautiously nodded as if she understood.

“I will refer to it.”

“yes. Besides that, the Demon Forest is a dangerous place, so always remember to be careful.”

“Please make sure your brother comes back safely.”

After saying goodbye to Delphina, who was moving away from her party, I also prepared to enter the Demon Forest with my party members.

It was a few minutes later that the bell announcing the start of the hunting festival rang.

* * *

A group of five of us ran without hesitation toward the northeast as soon as the hunting festival started.

Stella, who is in the vanguard as usual, follows close behind and senses the presence of the monster.

And it seemed that Saint Claire was in the rear guard and Xian was moving while protecting her on both sides.

“Ooh, one werewolf. All 4 hobgoblins and three. Two left 7 Wild Hogs.”

As they were moving at a steady pace, a werewolf appeared from the right two seconds later, just as Lulu said.

In less than a moment, senior Xian’s arrow hit the middle of his forehead, and the unlucky Warwolf lay down on the ground.

Two seconds later, a group of three hobgoblins appeared from the front this time.

The enemy in the front was, of course, Stella’s share.

The three hobgoblins appeared and in an instant, her upper and lower bodies were permanently separated by her sword.

3 seconds later, a wild hog appeared from my direction.

When I used the brilliance at an angle where two could hit at the same time, a single magic spell pierced the two of them through the head, and they died.

It didn’t matter if there weren’t many words.

It had become a typical skilled party move, where what you had to do was fixed in the evening.

It was an unbelievable breath for a party that had been created less than a year ago.

He had already left his corpse in the forest and was running, but a werewolf or wild hog were good enough prey.

Not only could both of them get a good score in the hunting festival, but the material for the werewolf was sold at a rather high price in many places.

We went forward with our purpose, ignoring anyone without hesitation and leaving our spoils on the forest floor.

I wouldn’t know if it was to the extent of carrying both guns and guns in training or military campaigns, but collecting things like that in real battles was just a waste of time.

There was no time to turn a blind eye to such things in the first place.

Our first target was, of course, the Orc Road.

“Saint Claire, do you find it difficult to match your feet?”

“… it’s okay. It’s good enough to follow.”

“If you ever feel tired, tell me.”

Even Saint Claire’s physical strength, the factor she was most worried about, had been resolved to some extent, so all the anxiety factors had already disappeared.

To be honest, I was a little worried.

In her previous life, Saint Claire had consumed a lot of life force in the battle with Professor Hemes, to the extent that she would faint at the touch of her hand.

Naturally, Saint Claire’s stamina was always one of the problems even during the days of the Demon God Suppression Team.

Maybe it was because the impression of that time remained so strong, because in my head Saint Clare was always the owner of a weak and weak stamina.

After seeing her running pretty well, I felt relieved now.

First of all, looking at Xian-senpai and me following at my speed, it seems that he has at least above-average stamina.

It was thanks to my wind magic and her holy protection effect, but even taking that into consideration, it was true that it ran fairly well.

It was enough just not to fall behind.

In the case of Professor Hemes, it was definitely meaningful that she did not lose her vitality.

It was enough just to be acknowledged.

“ah!”

As if Lulu, who was running ahead, found something, she exclaimed and pricked her ears.

Seeing that reaction, I thought it would be soon, so I put my left hand inside the cloak and gripped the broadsword in reverse.

So that it wouldn’t be strange if we started fighting right now.

Not long after that, Lulu immediately heard the final report announcing the start of the battle.

“Ten ago! Over 50 Orcs! And one super strong guy who is presumed to be the target!”

“All ready for battle!”

It was time to greet the named monster, the Orc Lord.
