Chapter 84: Leave the Trouble to Me

“Ishud, I’m going to your family’s house too!!!!”

“…?”

As Michela boldly declared her intention to visit Ishudo’s family, Ishudo’s expression froze in surprise.

“…S-so, what do you think?! Is it okay for me to come to your family’s house!?”

“Oh, sorry. I was just taken aback.”

Ishud wasn’t intentionally ignoring Michela to tease her. 

As he said, he was genuinely surprised.

“It’s not a big deal if you come over, but is it okay?”

“As for visiting your family? If it’s like Philip’s situation, sending a letter ahead would be fine!!!!”

(Hmm? Well, if that’s what she says, then maybe it’s true… But still, it’s pretty surprising.)

To Ishud, Michela appears as a proper noblewoman who is mindful of appearances and etiquette.

So for such a lady, even during a long vacation, to visit another family… In the eyes of society at large, it might still seem like a savage or barbaric act.

It’s not that Michela doesn’t understand the significance of it.

(…But even if Michela sends a letter to her family, will the members of the Marquis’s household really be convinced?)

Ishudo thought that it might develop into a troublesome situation. However, he decided that it would be more troublesome to dwell on it and stopped thinking about it further.

“Well, whatever. You can come over if you want, but if any trouble arises, you’ll have to deal with it.”

“Of course!!!!!!”

While Gulf and Ibuki couldn’t help but feel a certain admiration for Michela’s bold declaration to handle any trouble she caused, Philip couldn’t help but inwardly wonder, “Is she getting a bit carried away?”

(Ishud…seems like he’s stopped thinking about it. In that case, does it mean he’s really leaving all the trouble to this idiot alone… Isn’t that a bit unreasonable?)

Despite thinking it wasn’t his concern, Philip started pondering something in his mind… and later, he took action.

“Ishud, if it’s alright, I’d like to accompany you to your family’s house during the long vacation.”

“Same here, Ishud.”

“…Wait a minute. I seriously don’t get it.”

Some time later, in front of Ishud, stood the student council president of Flaveld Academy, Christille, and Dustin, who had splendidly won the second year division of the fierce battle festival.

“I’ll be graduating from the academy next year. Considering that, I thought it would be worthwhile to experience the essence of strength in the place where Ishud grew up.”

“I have a similar thought! Graduation is still a ways off, but if I’m planning to win again next year and secure consecutive victories, I have to make the most of the long vacation!!!”

(…I get what they’re trying to say, but… is this really okay?)

Ishud truly couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation before him.

Of course, it was Philip who orchestrated the current situation.

Christille, who was close to Michela, and Dustin, who had fought alongside Christille in a special match during the fierce festival, were also joining them on the trip to Ishud’s family’s house.

(It’s a bit late to wonder why I’m running around for this idiot… But well, things progressed smoothly, so it wasn’t that much trouble after all.)

Ishud was well aware that Philip had been spending quite a bit of time alone recently, but he never imagined that Philip would take action for Michela’s sake.

Furthermore, considering the current situation… Ishud could easily accept that the two of them had simply come to ask for further strength.

“…Got it. It’s no problem even if the numbers increase a bit.”

“Thank you.”

“Hahaha!!! Count on me, Ishud!!!!”

Since there was still the flying magic carpet, adding more people wouldn’t be a problem in principle.

(…I should probably inform that person, just in case.)

That person being Byron, the troubleshooter.

“That’s why, I’m thinking of spending the summer vacation in that kind of way.”

“…”

Byron was told by Ishud that there was a personal matter.

Thinking it might become troublesome if other students knew about it, he moved to a private room before hearing about the personal matter.

(Moving to a private room was the right choice.)

Even in the state of being active as a teacher, information from the aristocratic circles naturally flows in.

And even without consciously collecting information, one can hear about things like Christille and Michela gathering tremendous popularity among the sons of nobility.

“I did think it might come to this. But for Michela and Christille to head to your home as well.”

“I also had a damn big question about that. I mean, you know, that blonde with big tits is desperate to get stronger… But I don’t really know much about living in proper aristocratic circles because I haven’t lived like that, but it’s pretty troublesome when a girl around that age goes to a guy’s family home, right?”

In Ishud’s mind, the idea of Michela and Christille coming to his own home was perceived as… in his previous life, it was like female idols or actresses constantly hanging out at a yakuza’s house.

“To be willing to come to my place knowing that, it really surprises me.”

“…There are guys like Gulf, Philip, and even a student from another school like Dustin. So most people would think they went to the Regula family to get stronger… But some people might make a fuss unnecessarily.”

“Yeah, those assholes with shitty approval needs. I don’t care about them, but honestly, they should just die, basically.”

Perhaps because Ishud possessed knowledge from his past life… his words weren’t just sharp, they were like a mass of jagged blades.

“…If you think that way, wasn’t refusing an option?”

“Before Michela said she wanted to come, I already agreed to Ibuki coming over. Besides, I understand they’re seriously seeking strength, so refusing someone like that is… Well, even though I said that, she said she’ll handle any trouble in front of me herself, so I don’t have to worry about the details.”

“…Whether you manipulated with words or not, hearing stories like this, no one can call you a barbarian anymore.”

Once again, he realized that Ishud wasn’t just a berserker, and at the same time, Byron felt a little worried about Michela’s innocence.
