I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

22 – Clubs

[Learn horseback riding, the foundation of knighthood – Riding Research Society]

[The spear is stronger than the sword – Spearmanship Research Society]

[The sword is stronger than the spear – The Swordsmanship Research Society]

I spent my daily life collecting information about Julian.

Then, she saw the promotional papers pasted on the school bulletin board.

Research Society.

It is called a society among cadets.

It’s just like a college club.

“Louisa, is there any society you would like to join?”

She shook her head at my question.

“The society you will join is the society I will join.”

As an exclusive maid, I know that you should always be by my side, but wouldn’t it be cramped?

I can’t stand it if I think of serving other people every day without a day off.

If the academy allowed me to have at least two exclusive maids, I could let them rest, but it was a pity.

“Joel!”

I heard Lando’s voice behind me.

It seemed like they were moving to another classroom.

“Which society are you planning to join?”

“Do I have to register?”

“It’s not necessary, but it helps to expand your network.”

For example, a heroine, a heroine, a heroine.

… Since we met by chance, we should induce Lando to be included in a specific club.

Because

Is a story in which both he and the heroine grow as he meets the heroine.

“But wouldn’t it be difficult for me to expand my personal network? A person like me who wants to hang out with a country commoner…. Oh, I’m not saying that Joel is a strange person!”

“Calm down, calm down.”

He tapped Lando on the shoulder and continued.

“Networking is not that grandiose. If you just get to know each other, you’re in a relationship. Lando, am I not your network? The same goes for Elianne.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Sure. I have to throw a party later, so wouldn’t it be convenient to have a network at that time?”

“Okay!”

He glanced around the school bulletin board with a smile.

Instantly, he pointed to one of the posters.

“Wouldn’t it be helpful in many ways if I went there?”

It was a swordsmanship club.

There is no heroine over there.

What’s more….

“There must be senior Julian.”

“Oh, that’s a bit….”

I explained to Lando that it was not necessary to join a combat-related club.

He said rather choose a hobby or just an area of interest.

“Then what does this place look like?”

[Economy also starts with theory – Capitalism Research Society]

“Hmm, capitalism research society.”

Republics are the most rapidly developing countries in the world.

We are now going through the nascent period of capitalism as I know it, with factories and stock companies.

In other words, capitalism here refers to the economic system of the Republic.

“The gold coin I received last time came out in my dream! That’s why I have a bit of a desire to earn more gold coins, hahahaha.”

Rando scratched the back of his head as if he was embarrassed.

“Whether it’s money or skills, the spirit of improvement is important. Looking at the promotional material, I’m a little interested too.”

“Oh, is that so? Joel-nim is different from me, so I don’t think you need it.”

“I personally do, but I think you need to know a lot about the economy in order for Yeongji to develop.”

“Ah, it’s Joel as expected! You have a plan.”

After hearing Lando’s slightly embarrassing compliment, I unknowingly scratched my cheek with my finger.

I made an appointment with Lando to meet in front of the Society Hall where the capitalism research group is located after the lecture is over this afternoon.

I’m still far from starting the afternoon lecture, what should I do….

“Louisa, can you schedule a conversation with Elianne?”

“Okay.”

She’s been away from me for 10 minutes.

She was thinking about tomorrow morning or evening, but 10 minutes later she brought Eli Anne to me.

“I brought you.”

Is the time right now just like mine?

It wasn’t bad for me.

“Where is there a place to sit around?”

Ellie Anne answered, turning her head to the right.

“There is a bench in front of the main building. If that’s okay with you, go there.”

“I do.”

I followed her and sat on a wooden bench in front of her main building.

… The benches were a bit damp, perhaps because of the drizzling rain this morning.

Even so, she casually attached her butt.

Since she is the daughter of a duke, I thought she would make a fuss.

“What do you want to say to me?”

“I think I will have to cancel the proposal I made a few days ago.”

“Yes? Why… ?”

She gave me a slightly embarrassed look.

I was going to pass it on as I suggested, but it seemed like it was because things went wrong.

I conveyed the Marquis Jahe’s order to Eleanne to get rid of it as it was.

Then she let out a small sigh.

“My mother and Marquis Marquis both want to marry Julian, so I guess we have no choice but to get married.”

“Are you really okay?”

“Like it or not, I was born a daughter of an aristocrat. It’s a craft, too. If she does not fulfill her duties as a daughter of the duke, she will not be the daughter of the duchess.”

Elianne is quite frank with me.

Although she personally hates Julian, she told me that she had no choice but to follow her parents’ orders.

She pretends to be active, but in reality she is passive.

Even in her game story, she falls for him more and more as her lando seizes her.

She was speaking her words in her little voice.

“You did that to me a few days ago. Have I ever liked Joel?”

“I did.”

“… Joel is right. I’ve never truly loved Joel. She just pretended to love her, because her family told her to get engaged.”

It was really new.

I want to talk about something.

“Still, I want you to know one thing, I never hated Joel.”

“Really?”

It was unexpected.

I thought incompetent men, no matter how good their personality, were treated like bugs.

If you think about it, Elianne was initially attracted to Landau’s simplicity.

She knows he’s competent, so she spurns her liking.

In other words, her taste itself is like a nice guy.

Competence is, to put it mildly, the kind of groom the family wants.

“Whatever.”

“Anyway?!”

“That doesn’t matter now.”

“Yeah, but….”

Ellie Anne gave a puzzled look and she smiled.

Well, from her point of view, whether she hated me or not, her engagement was already broken.

What’s the use of saying that now?

“There’s one way I won’t marry that bastard Julian. Without harming you either.”

“Yes? Is there such a thing?”

“However, you will go through something a little scary too.”

“As long as I don’t lose anything as a result, it doesn’t matter.”

I haven’t gotten all the information about Julian yet, so it’s rough, but I told Elianne about the plan I’ve conceived so far.

Then she opened her eyes round and nodded her head.

“In summary, you are trapping Julian-sama.”

“Yes.”

“Then the best place to sell traps is at my mother’s birthday party.”

“Is it the Duchess’s birthday party soon?”

It is a good event to use.

All members of the duchy, including Elianne, will attend the event.

Her I was discussing her plans with her in detail when she suddenly asked me.

“Why are you helping me? It’s not because Joel-sama is interested in me.”

The merit gained by interfering with Julian and Elianne’s marriage.

For me, of course, the goal is not to let Landau’s heroine be taken away, but I can’t explain it that way.

“Because that bastard Julian is trying to take my place.”

“Oh, I understand.”

After all, her brain is fast.

If there is a downside to having accidents in strange directions because it’s too fast, it’s a downside.

Luisa, who was behind the bench, bowed her head and came in front of me.

“Boss, it is time for the lecture to begin soon.”

“I guess I have to go now.”

Me and Elianne got up from their seats.

And she reaffirmed one agreed upon fact.

I’m going to attend the birthday party of the Duchess of Chablis next week’s holiday.

After the afternoon lecture, I headed to the Society building with Lando.

Like other university club buildings, each club room was there.

The difference is that the building and door are made of wood?

I knocked on the wooden door that read [Capitalism Research Society].

Then a male cadet came out from inside.

It was the third year.

“What brought you here?”

“I want to join.”

“Ah~ come in.”

He was a senior wearing myopia glasses, rarely seen in the world.

Because it was a heavy glass bead, the marks on the glasses were clearly visible.

When I entered the club room, there were about 10 people.

It didn’t seem like a very popular club.

Well, the very concept of capitalism would be unfamiliar to people from the Republic here.

“This is the first year seat.”

“Yes.”

Excluding me, Lando, and Luisa, there seemed to be only one applicant for the first year.

And this only first year applicant is another heroine of Lando.

She is impressive with her red ponytail and emerald eyes.

I deliberately made Lando sit next to the heroine.

He greeted her with her “Hello” In her small voice.

She bluntly just nodded her head in silence.

“Please take good care of me in the future.”

I just said one word and sat down.

Then she turned her head towards me and glared at me.

“… Who are you?

At that, Lando’s eyes widened, and he quickly told me that I was the Margrave’s son.

But she glared at me even more.

“The academy prohibits class discrimination. Or is it that it is natural for aristocrats to speak ill of commoners?”

“Ah, no, but thinking about it later….”

It seemed like he got caught in the middle and tried to mediate as much as possible.

“You must be an Empire or Kingdom person, right? I’m a republican, so it doesn’t matter. Immigrate to the Republic if you want to flatter the nobles. The article is accepted unconditionally.”

Lando sweats profusely as he alternately looks at her face and mine.

The Research Chairman also looked at the first year cadets because they were a bit noisy.

She says she is Lando’s heroine, but I have to get along well with her so he can have a good relationship with her, so I have to make her happy.

“If you think that way, talk to me.”

“Do you think I can’t do it?”

“You can do it.”

As she frowned between her brows, she immediately cried out.

“… Hey!”

“Yes. I haven’t heard your name.”

When a male aristocrat speaks respectfully to a commoner in the same grade, she gets into trouble in many ways, but if she speaks inappropriately to me, I don’t have a problem.

It’s just that she doesn’t show her courtesy to her nobles.

That’s also her keynote.

“Caitlyn.”

She nodded and then she turned her gaze towards her study hall.

Lando put his mouth in my ear and whispered.

“She is a bit strange.”

Because I am a member of your harem, treat me well….
