Chapter 49- Sports Festival Ends
His Majesty nodded at Isaac-sama's polite attitude and looked at me as if it was natural.
“At the end of the day, let's talk about our new ace, who overwhelmingly overpowered the upperclassmen and won the championship. First of all, Charlotte-san's strength is the power of her magic and her large repertoire. It's safe to say that she already has the skills of a court mage. But what surprised me even more was the fact that she could use the prayer technique that even a court mage could not use.”
As expected, His Majesty the Emperor observed me with great interest when I brought up the subject of prayer technique.
The people around me also paid attention to me as I activated the prayer technique with ease.
I knew this would happen beforehand, but I still get nervous when hundreds of people are staring at me. It was a little… uncomfortable, no, quite uncomfortable.
“In addition, all of the magic that was invoked by the prayer technique was of a high level. I didn't think a girl under the age of 20 will have such ability ... I don't know what's in the world. I would love to talk to you once. May I invite you to the castle next time?”
His Majesty took the trouble to leave the choice to me, as if he didn’t intend to order me to do so.
Well, there's still only one option to choose from ... Even if it wasn't an order, there was no way I could refuse the emperor's invitation.

“It is a great honor for me. If His Majesty, the sun of the empire, invites me to join him, I will always welcome it. However, I'm not sure if I'm the right person for you to talk to......"
"Don't worry about it. I don't mind if you’re not very good at speaking, so don't feel too burdened. I just want to talk to a genius who can use the art of praying."
"Ha! I appreciate your concern.”
When I bowed in an ostentatious manner, His Majesty Emperor Oswald nodded in satisfaction.
It must be nice to be able to show in public that “Charlotte-san is someone who has caught the emperor's eye”
I know His Majesty would like to keep me in the country and keep me to himself. Because there are extremely few people who can use the prayer technique. So, by publicly stating that ‘she’s my prey’ like this, he’s keeping his surroundings.... mainly other countries in check. I'm not going to go to any other country, so I don't mind.
“Oops, sorry for the ...... personal conversation. That's all from me. Please continue the ceremony."
Smiling inadvertently, the emperor waved a fluttering hand at the host and sat down again.
The moderator manages to continue the closing ceremony amid the overt restraint from the emperor.
──── Then, after the speeches of the school president and the student representatives, the 426th Flugel Academy Sports Festival closed its curtain.
I thought that I would just go home and go to bed, but my wish was shattered. I was greeted by a group of students and adults who were waiting for me near the entrance. ......

"Oh, there she is! Charlotte-san!”
“I was watching the final! Please give us a comment! I want to use this for a newspaper headline. ......!”
“How did you do that prayer trick? I wonder if I can use it!”
"It's great that you've been invited to the Imperial City! You're on the fast track to success!”
In no time at all, I was surrounded by onlookers and I was stuck and in trouble.
Instead of feeling the excitement of popularity, I felt sleepy and lowered my eyebrows.
For a moment, I wondered if I should blow away the onlookers in all directions, but I decided against it because the damage would be too great.
I've been pushed from all directions, backwards, forwards, left and right and I'm already about to be crushed.
I want to go home...... I really do.
“It’s amazing how you beat last year’s winner Scarlett and by an overwhelming margin of strength.”

“She didn't look like a bad sister to me. I guess rumors are unreliable."
"Huh? But wasn't that rumor started by the vice president? I'm sure she said something like, 'My sister can't do anything without me’.......?”
When one of the students pointed out the source of the rumor, they looked at each other.
“And if I had to guess, I'd say that ...... Scarlett-sama was jealous of her sister's talent and started that rumor. See, she's so proud."
“It's possible! But if that's the case, isn't it too disgusting? It's crazy to humiliate one's own sister.”
“I can understand being jealous of Charlotte-san's talent, but there are some things you shouldn't do.”
"She thought her sister was a good person, but ... I'm very sorry. she was disillusioned."
Those who were critical of my sister looked at me sympathetically and said they were sorry I had to go through that.
In the blink of an eye, my sister's image changed from an excellent vice president to an ugly woman who was jealous of her sister's talent.
Since she was not very popular to begin with, there was no one to defend her. Rather, the conversation escalated as if to say, "This is our chance to destroy Scarlett”.
It's not good...... If this continues, my sister's position is going to get a lot worse. It's not that I didn't see this coming, but I didn't think it would get this bad. Everyone is frustrated with her.
I held my head in my hands as they said that my sister was not worthy of being vice president and that she should resign now.
The response was far beyond what I had imagined and I regretted that I hadn't read too much into it.
Throughout the finals, my retaliation was already over. I may have overdone it a bit, but I was satisfied with the result. So, I don't want to hunt her down any more. I'm not saying I've forgiven my sister for everything, but I've made a decision in my mind that this matter is over.
But I didn't expect the reaction of the people around me to be so unexpected.

Almost all of the students in the room are disgusted and uncomfortable with my sister and it's hard to contain.
I decided that it wasn’t good to leave things as they were and I opened my mouth in a panic.
“It's not that Scarlett had any bad intentions.....”
“Charlotte-san, may I interview you?”
“I'd like to know more about the Prayer technique!”
“If you don't mind, would you like to come for tea sometime?”
My voice was instantly drowned out by interjections from all over the place.
No one is listening to me because everyone is talking as they please. ...... Or maybe they don't hear me.
This meant that I couldn't excuse my sister, or even have a conversation with anyone.
What should I do? This makes my sister look completely bad. ...... Well, objectively speaking, yes, but I don't want that. It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I know how hard it is to have people around you pointing fingers at you.
Above all, if my sister's reputation falls to the ground, it might cause trouble for my family and my parents.....
I want to do something to restore my sister's image, but it's difficult in this situation.
Should I use loudspeaker magic? No, I can't do that. I'm at the center of the commotion, and if I use it, it will cause a lot of damage to the people around me. If I'm not careful, I might break someone's eardrums.
I can't be reckless in the presence of the children of the great aristocracy..... I had to give up on the dialogue.
As I’m tormented by onlookers, I ponder how to regain my sister's reputation, which has fallen to the bottom of the earth.
I was crushed by the onlookers for a long time until the students of the public morals committee heard the commotion. ────

Just scream- that’s what i want to say but she must be tired,
Dang the reputation damage tho.
Now the situation has reversed. I’m glad that she’s going to clear up the rumors, otherwise she would have turned into her sister except in this case the rumors aren’t completely false as Scarlet IS jealous of Charlotte and did bad things to her, but I would have found Charlotte less sympathetic if she had ditched her sister like her sister had to her.
