I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist

Epilogue Episode 28. Important Agenda

“Okay, it looks like everyone is here. Then, we will now open the 20th Black Tea Club meeting.”

“······?”

How did this happen?

With the sound of dull applause coming from all directions, I was so confused that I was clapping without realizing it.

Clearing her throat, Emilia pulled a chair next to me and sat down.

Sitting next to him were Iris, Trier, Felaine, Erica, and Aria, who looked a bit uncomfortable.

They asked me to take some time to have tea, so I came with a light heart, but was surprised by the atmosphere being more solemn than I imagined.

“Tea Club? What is that?”

“That’s the name of this group. We ended up calling it that while drinking tea and talking.”

“So what are we talking about at this meeting?”

“The main topic is chatting behind my brother, and the rest deals with important agenda items. Since my brother is away today, I can’t chat behind him, so I’ll have to move on to the agenda right away.”

“Ugh…”

The tone was confusing as to whether he was joking or serious.

But really, I didn’t think there would be anything strange about them gathering together and talking behind my back.

“Today’s agenda was proposed by Her Majesty Aria. Your Majesty. Can you explain in detail?”

“Keuung······.”

Aria pressed her temple as if her head was hurting, then stood up, pushing off her chair.

Every time she saw Aria, she seemed so awkward in this position that she had to keep smiling.

“As the wedding ceremony is getting closer, I felt the need to establish a system in my life as well. So, I am formally proposing that the use of the Schlus be made on a daily basis. Coincidentally, that damned bastard’s wife is including luggage. “Aren’t there six of them? I would like to show special mercy to those who deserve to be put in hell and propose that one day of the week be taken as a holiday and the Schlus be monopolized for one day for the remaining six days.”

“Huh? Why are you deciding that among yourself-“

“Be quiet. You don’t have the right to speak.”

“······?”

No, I’m not some kind of person, I operate on a day-of-the-week system.

More than anything, it was absurd that the discussion was about me, but the person himself was deprived of his right to speak.

But when I thought about it, I was also the culprit who made this discussion necessary, so even though I was about to protest, I had no choice but to keep silent due to Emilia’s threats.

Is it because less than a week has passed since I told Emilia about her possession?

When I think of Emilia crying and pounding on my chest, asking why did she suffer alone for so long and why didn’t she think of relying on me, I still can’t think of her.

“It’s really annoying to see that guy come when it’s convenient for him, interfere with his work, and then just leave when it’s convenient for him. In that case, it would be better to force him to spend time with one person at a time throughout the day. .”

“You definitely have a point. I was starting to get jealous because it seems like Schlus is only favoring one or two people.”

As Iris closed her eyes and recited the words, Emilia and Felaine suddenly flinched and trembled, causing their chairs to shake.

Am I showing favoritism?

It was a story I knew nothing about.

“I agree with the day-of-the-week system. Whenever Schlus comes to visit, it’s always during the time when I’m busy researching. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to set aside one day of the week and spend the whole day with Schlus. What do you think, Iris? To do?”

“Hmm… I have no complaints either way, but I do lean towards the day system.”

“I also agree with the day system!”

Erica, Iris, and even Trier voted in favor.

But the more I thought about it, the more absurd it became.

Do I have to live here and there without any freedom for 6 days a week?

‘I guess I’ll do that…?’

After thinking about it a little more, I felt like I didn’t deserve freedom.

Did I know back in the days when I was thinkinglessly making marriage marriages?

I will eventually give up on returning to the original world and end up sitting here.

Of course you didn’t know.

Because I didn’t know, I must have had 6 wives…

“I like the bass the way it is. When I wake up in the morning, Schluss is playing with my tail, and when I wake up from another nap, it’s nice because he’s playing with my ears. But if you set it to a day-of-the-week system, you can only have one day of the week… ·····.”

“······.”

I folded my hands and lowered my eyes as murderous looks came from all directions.

When I thought about it carefully, it seemed like there was no reason to call it favoritism at all.

That’s because whenever I see a sleeping feline, I rub its tail, ears, and cheeks until it wakes up.

Although Feline was unconscious most of the time, it was true that he spent most of the day with Feline.

“That’s why we need a day system even more. We need to occupy the schluss equally by cutting each day like a knife for 24 hours, so that there are no voices of dissatisfaction from either side.”

“Hey… Can I defend myself?”

“No.”

“Oh, don’t be like that, just listen. Have any of you ever touched a feline tail?”

“······.”

I continued my defense despite Iris’s firm refusal.

The only two people who secretly raised their hands in response to my question were Emilia and Trier, and everyone just looked at each other and shook their heads.

Oh my god. You still don’t know the feel of a feline tail.

“Feline. Would you like to show your tail?”

“Huh? Here?”

“Okay. Please do me a favor.”

“Uh. I understand…”

“Okay, everyone, touch it once.”

“What’s wrong with Mr. Feline’s tail…”

Felain’s big tail was resting on the desk, with his butt sticking out as if he was embarrassed.

Then Iris’s eyes widened as she reluctantly stretched out her hand.

At first, Aria and Erica only pretended to touch the tip of the fur, but soon began stroking and touching the entire tail.

“Wow, wow. Fluffy…”

“Look. Does it feel good? I wonder if something like this is in front of me and I won’t touch it.”

“This is definitely a desire that is hard to bear… No matter how many times I touch it, I want to keep touching it…”

“Heung! Then, I will take into account Mr. Feline’s favoritism!”

Erica, who fell down on her desk and rubbed her cheek against her tail, screamed.

That’s it. This alleviated my guilt a little.

“That’s right. Even if you say that, Mr. Feline, I cannot forgive Miss Emilia’s favoritism. Schlus always eats and sleeps at Miss Emilia’s house unless there is something special going on.”

“Emilia wakes up every morning looking at her teacher’s face!”

“I’m a bit envious of that…”

“Ugh…”

Her glare stung.

No, in the first place, this place itself was almost like a thorn cushion.

I wanted to run away right away, but I was afraid that if I did, I would always be resented, so I decided to hold on.

“Commoner. What is your position on the day of the week system that Jim suggested?”

“Well, I think it would be better to maintain the status quo. It’s so depressing to cut off time on a daily basis and use my brother…”

“Look. The two opposing votes are just two people who are favored.”

“······.”

The first agenda item seemed to be slowly coming to an end.

Only Feline and Emilia voted against, while all others voted in favor, 4 to 2.

Personally, as Emilia said, I was opposed to the day-of-the-week system because I thought it would feel too bleak, but my opinion was ignored here, so it was meaningless.

But she also thought that if she was dissatisfied with eating and sleeping in the house where she and Emilia lived, she would be done if everyone moved here.

This was not a joke, but something worthy of serious discussion.

“Then the day of the week system was approved with 4 votes in favor and 2 votes against. Next, let’s talk about what day of the week each person will occupy the Schlus-“

“Aria. Wait a minute. I have something to say.”

“I will deprive you of your right to speak. Just keep your mouth shut.”

“Why can’t everyone keep my mouth shut? Let me talk too.”

“Hmph. Say it.”

“The reason we discussed the day system in the first place is because time is limited and I only have one body. Then, how about we all live in one house? Of course, we’ll have to build a new house that’s much bigger.”

“What…?”

It was time to revive the previously abandoned ‘living in one house’ plan.

At that time, since they were having an awkward relationship with each other, they naturally decided that they should live in multiple households, but things were different now.

In particular, Emilia, who was most wary of her other children, saw that her personality had become much more docile after living with Felaine, so she decided that it would be possible.

It would be okay to live under the same roof as long as we didn’t have to make each other blush.

“Really? It was a problem that could be solved if everyone lived in one house!”

“That’s right! If everyone decides to leave their hometown and move like me, that’s it, right?”

“You’re talking as if you’ve made some great decision. Fela, you’re just living here because you have nowhere to go…”

“Ah, whatever!”

“But the problem still remains. In the end, shouldn’t nighttime work be done on a designated day of the week?”

“Can’t we all just do that together?”

“W-what kind of vulgar…!”

A blush spread across Aria’s face, who had been trying to maintain her composure until now.

In the past, she would have been criticized the moment she said something like this.

But now we have quite a few allies.

“Sniff! I think it’s okay!”

“It doesn’t matter to me either!”

“W-What?! Commoner! What do you think?”

“I don’t really feel any resistance even if I stir it…”

“Ah.”

Aria’s face began to take on a look of bewilderment.

This seemed to be a development that Aria had never expected.

“Ah, anyway, wouldn’t it be better to do household chores separately?”

“I’m not sure about spending the night together, but I’m all for living in the same house. I also want to be close to everyone.”

“Even Iris?! Then I’ll agree too.”

“Ugh…”

As votes in favor of her came in from all over, Aria’s face gradually turned into a tearful expression.

She deserved it.

The other kids just move in and that’s it for her, but Aria, as the emperor, can’t stay outside of her imperial palace.

Soon Aria was sobbing, holding back her tears.

“I am the emperor of this country… And nothing goes according to my wishes…”

“I’m sorry. Is it 5 to 1 that it was approved to live in one house? Then, let’s leave out Aria-“

“Wait a minute. Just wait. The construction of a house for everyone to live in will be carried out as a national project.”

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t it natural that this is where we will live in the future? We need to build it carefully, ensuring both strong barriers and thorough security.”

“Uh…”

It seemed like Aria was also planning to move.

Somehow things were gradually getting bigger.
