Chapter 39: The Opening Ceremony
──── Then, the days passed in a blink of an eye ... I noticed that the day of the athletic festival was approaching.
The Moira Dome, one of the venues for the festival, was already crowded with spectators, and the sounds of laughter and talking could be heard everywhere.
The Moira Dome, which looks like a Coliseum, had several aisles under the spectators' seats.
In one of them, our delegates were lined up and waiting.
Phew! I'm glad the day went off without a hitch.
I thought my sister might come storming in when she found out about my participation, but she didn't make any contact with me.
I guess she didn't have that much time on her hands.
At the end of the line, from behind, I look at the blue-haired girl at the front.

I'm not sure if it's because she's sick or because she's afraid of my retaliation… but she has a dark expression on her face.
A small fist clenched tightly, trembled slightly.
When I saw my sister looking down, I felt a little bit refreshed.
I think I might be a little bit of or even quite the jerk.
Well, I'm not sure I'm a no good woman when I'm plotting retaliation, but I have no regrets about this decision.
This retaliation is more of a way to vent my frustration, but it is also a way to correct my sister.
That person probably won't understand until she's been hurt once.
I sighed quietly and turned my eyes away from the beautiful girl with blue hair, and met the sudden gaze of a beautiful young man with black hair.
Standing next to me, he wears a red cloak on his uniform and hangs his favorite sword on his waist.
His expression was as expressionless as ever, but His Highness Grayson was still beautiful today.
"That cloak looks good on you. It looks great with your hair.”

His Highness then touched the long cloak that reached the back of his knees.
Unlike His Highness' cloak, the one I wore was blue, reminiscent of the clear blue sky.
This cloak that we wear over our uniforms is given only to the representative of each class and is a kind of proof of participation in the tournament.
The swordsmanship division wears a red cloak, the magic division wears a blue cloak, and the riding division wears a green cloak.
To be honest, it was a bit distracting, but I didn't feel bad if His Highness said it looked good on me.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness looks good in his as well."
With a soft smile and a candid impression, the black-haired beauty opens his eyes slightly.
His lapis lazuli's eyes were filled with unusual emotions, as he smiles.
"I see."
I opened my eyes wide at the sight of His Highness' smile, which I hadn't seen since the welcome party for the new students.

I was about to fall over in front of His Highness Grayson, who was leaking pheromones.
The surprise hit was too unexpected but I'm sure it's worth it.
The destructive power of that smile!
His Highness Grayson should be aware of how beautiful his face is!!!
As I put my hands on my cheeks and let my face turn red, someone coughs and clears their throat.
When I wandered my eyes to follow the sound, I met Emilia-sama, who was standing to the left of His Highness Grayson.
She was wearing a green cloak and said "Shh!”, she puts her index finger to her lips.
"It's almost time to enter, so please be quiet, both of you."
His Royal Highness and I hurriedly shut our mouths as she whispered a warning.
I hurriedly straightened my posture and managed to tighten my loosening cheeks.
As I flapped my hands in the air to cool my reddened cheeks, the bell rang, signaling the beginning of the ──── athletic festival.
"All visitors to the venue, ──── please be quiet."
A loud voice using loudspeaker magic echoed through the hall, and the murmur of people instantly quieted down.
In the ear-splitting silence, the spectators were excited about the upcoming athletic festival of Frügel Academy.
On the other hand, we, the representatives, were almost overwhelmed with anxiety and nervousness, but we held our chests high.
Ad
"The opening ceremony of the 426th Frügel Academy Sports Festival will now begin. Please welcome them with warm applause."
With these words, the orchestra, which had rented out part of the auditorium, began to play.
The orchestra played light music to liven up the venue, and the audience applauded loudly.
As the Moira Dome was flooded with various sounds, the delegates leading the way slowly walked out.
At the head of the line, divided by division, were Isaac-sama, Crown Prince Leonard, and Scarlett-oneesama.
The crowd, excited by the appearance of the student council members, said, "Please do your best! We're rooting for you! and "We're cheering for you!
I knew it, but the popularity of the student council is amazing.
The cheers from the women were especially loud.
I'm sure it's because of the presence of His Royal Highness Prince Leonardo.
The blonde-haired young man who responded to the women's cheers with a smile was as good-looking as ever, and I was convinced that it would be strange if he were not popular.
"Kyaaa!" screams rose from everywhere, the representative of Group C, who was in the last row, also stepped into the venue.
I spotted a few people I knew in the audience and waved a little to them.
As if on cue, the orchestra's performance reached its finale.
The audience stopped cheering and applauding, and the MC opened his mouth again.
"Thank you very much for your applause. Next, a few words from His Majesty the Emperor. Thank you, your Majesty."
As soon as he said that, all the people except for the royalty of other countries knelt on the spot.
Of course, we, the representatives, were also kneeling on the floor and hanging our heads.
While everyone in the room was paying their respects to His Majesty the Emperor, the Lord of the Draconian Empire, a man sitting in the dignitary's seat stood up.
He smoothly drew up a loudspeaker magic circle with one hand, and shook his lustrous blond hair while activating it.
"Raise your heads. Please make yourself comfortable."
The voice that echoed throughout the hall was full of dignity, yet somehow soft.
I narrowed my eyes at the sound of his voice, which was very similar to that of Crown Prince Leonardo, and looked up.
In the tanzanite colored eyes was the reflection was of Oswald Lorenzo Draconia, the current emperor of the Draconia Empire ────.
His blond hair is as beautiful as moonlight, and his emerald eyes remind us of the green earth.
His face resembled that of His Royal Highness Prince Leonardo, and he looked so young that it was hard to believe he was in his late thirties.
Wearing a crown adorned with sapphires and diamonds, His Majesty Emperor Oswald smiled serenely.
"I am Emperor Oswald Lorenzo Draconia. I'm sure it would be boring to talk too long, so I'll try to be brief. ──── First of all, athletes, I expect you to do well and most importantly, have fun. That's all I have to say."
His Majesty Oswald, who finished the greeting in an instant, canceled the magic circle and quickly sat down in a chair.
Most of the nobles smiled and shrugged their shoulders at the emperor's greeting, which lasted less than a minute.
It was a well-known fact that His Majesty disliked such formal greetings, so they were all aware that it was just another one.

As I recall, it was like this at the party hosted by the imperial family, wasn't it?
Well, as expected, they do it well at parties and meetings in other countries.
This time, since it was a domestic event for students, I guess he decided to keep it short…
To be honest, it was just fine, because it would have been boring to have a long talk with no substance.
I let out a relieved sigh and stood up slowly, confident that I would sleep through the emperor's address if it was too long.
As the audience slowly returned to their original positions, the MC continued with the ceremony.
The opening ceremony proceeded solemnly, with greetings from the school president and the student body president, and quickly came to an end.
Then, with the signal of players leaving the stage, ──── the opening ceremony ended successfully.
