025 – For whom is the club room #2
Victoria opened her sparkling lips and said.
“Nike said everything. You and I are not dating. It’s been only ten days since we met.”
“… … .”
“In other words, the statement that you had another woman was a lie. Is that ring fake too? A fake to pretend he has another woman.”
“Yes, as you said.”
「Beginner’s Charm Ring: Increases the user’s Charm by +10. A pure gold ring from the royal capital, Partas, very popular with women.”
It was a fake coupling.
Shuk.
Victoria shuddered slightly as I removed the ring.
“… All of a sudden, Viktor, it seems like you’re getting meaner. Is it because of my mood?”
If you remove the ring, the effect comes out right away.
I’ll just have to keep wearing this.
Shuk.
When I put the ring back on, Victorica blamed me.
“Miss Mokey Mokey looked nice. How could you coax such a nice boy into lying? The lie that Miss Mokemoke likes you and kisses you. A big deal could have happened because of a misunderstanding.”
“… … .”
I have nothing to say.
I was prepared to sell this much, so it felt rather calm.
No, it’s less spicy than I expected.
I thought that if she had Victoria’s personality, she would even slap her in the face.
“And Viktor, you weren’t the kind of person who would lie. that more than anyone else. I know better than Miss Enio or Moke-Moke.”
Victoria strangely emphasized the names of Enio and Nike.
As I was thinking about what it meant, Victorica spoke to me in a low but calm and coy voice.
“Victor, did you actually know everything?”
“Did I know?”
“This Enrique… , No, the Fimbleberts and our Arclights were related.”
“Is it so?”
“You don’t have to pretend. I heard everything from Enio. You said you knew Enrique would come to this warehouse and waited in advance?”
It would be a lie if I answered yes.
However, both Enio and Victoria interpreted this situation as they wished.
“Victor, you knew about Enrique. I also knew about Pimblebert. Then, of course, you knew that there was a deal between their leader, ‘Wolf’ Leroy, and my brother, Orca, right?”
Orca.
Orca Arclight is an older brother to Victorica by two years.
prewar vs. Was he an elite who served two consecutive terms as student council president?
As I was lost in thought, Victoria trembled.
“I can not believe it. My own flesh and blood had dealings with these lawless outcasts. I don’t know what it was, but the Fimbleberts didn’t disintegrate. I was just pretending.”
“yes. It seems so.”
“Victor, you couldn’t stand that arclight, right? I couldn’t stand the student council that violated those rules. That’s why I lost to the transfer student on purpose.”
That’s not it.
Or if it’s similar at the same time, should I say it’s similar… .
In fact, the reason I broke off my marriage with Victoria was largely to sever ties with the Arkwright family.
After returning to the Arclight family, Viktor becomes a procrastinator for some reason.
“… The true enemy was within. The brighter the light, the darker the shadow. Victor, tell me. Who the hell is it related to who?”
to say that?
Victoria’s line “The enemy was inside. The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.” is the end of Act 7 of the student council route.
So, this is the line that Victorica, who stabbed the procrastinating Viktor into the pit of the stomach, expressed her aspirations to the main character, Luke.
Viktor only heard it at the end of the first act.
What would happen if I told the truth here, “Actually, your father is reaching for the taboo magic?”
It’s screwed up in many ways.
Do you think you guys can beat Gaju?
Not yet.
It was here that I didn’t directly say, “Your family is the problem, not you,” when I broke off the engagement with Victoria.
“… … .”
So I decided to remain silent.
I figured it out after some trial and error. Viktor preferred to remain silent rather than lie.
This one hurts my stomach less.
said Victoria.
“No, because you are not an Arclight right now. Even if I say this, it will only be my own compulsion. because this is my problem Speaking of which, Viktor… .”
“What.”
“About the breakup. me about it I’ve been thinking about it quite a bit. I went back to the beginning and thought about our engagement. You and I were young back then. You didn’t know anything.”
“Because the engagement was decided by the family in the first place. It was an irrational relationship from the start.”
“… absurdity. Yes, because they had absolutely nothing to do with each other’s intentions. So… .”
Victoria was very impatient.
Victoria’s personality was as cool as the sleeveless sleeveless.
It was the first time I had ever seen him spinning his horse like this, even after 10,000 hours of playing the student council route.
“Don’t be shy and tell me. Even if you are rich, time is money.”
“Yes, I guess. Then-.”
It was when Victorica, who finally seemed to have made up her mind about something, had her golden eyes shining brightly.
“Victor-kun, are you here?”
Someone showed up inside an old warehouse. Unlike Victoria, who shimmered with silver, she was shiny black.
black and white.
apparent symmetry.
“Oh, Miss Victoria. Are all the busy people here?”
“Enio, what are you doing here?”
grasp.
Lightning seems to come out of their eyes.
The fight between the two is natural.
Victoria is the vice president of the student council.
And now, the princess of Arclight, the only duke.
Enio is a member of the seven members who keep the student council in check.
And now, there are only two left, the princess of Black Star.
cannot be mixed with each other.
At that time, Enio was the first to speak.
“I had a request from Viktor-kun.”
“Victor asked you?”
“Victor-kun asked me for a pair of socks. While I was thinking about it, I stopped by to look around the club room.”
“Amount – say… ?”
Victoriaka didn’t seem to understand what Enio was saying.
But whether Victoria understood it or not, Enio sat down on the mat on the floor and took off his black shoes.
Squeak.
Thanks to that, his white thighs were exposed, and he seemed to be able to see a dot on the inside of his left thigh and a yellow ribbon wrapped around his thin ankle, but Enio didn’t seem to care.
Of course I didn’t care either.
“ruler. Wouldn’t it be good for Viktor to take it off right away?”
Gently, Enio takes off his socks to reveal his bare feet.
It is very white and has small feet.
“Hey, what now? this? It’s completely ridiculous. I want to go.”
Victoria blushed terribly and turned her head away.
I asked the guy who was about to leave the room.
“Victoria, weren’t you trying to say something important?”
“do not know! stupid! Just die!”
Victoria finally left the club room.
to die
Was there anything that lowered your liking in the conversation you just had?
What else were you trying to talk about?
As I was reviewing the events of the past, Enio handed me a pair of black socks and said,
“By the way, why do you need this? Why am I thinking?”
“Enio, I don’t know what reason you’re thinking. What I asked for are new socks. To decorate the club’s insolvency.”
In order to make the “Christmas tree,” an essential piece of furniture for home decoration, I need socks from people as gifts.
The “Christmas Tree” is a great furniture item that reduces the René consumption rate of using Ludens facilities by as much as 10%.
It was one of the first pieces of furniture to install because it could reduce the price of various facilities such as the vending machine in the Hall of Adventure and the item random box in the Underground Market by 10%.
“is it. You need new socks. Then you should wear it again.”
Shuk.
After putting black socks on his white toes, Enio put them on.
* * *
Enio, who thought he would just look around and leave, stayed in the club room and talked about this and that.
Some of them were quite helpful to me.
For instance, it is like this.
“This is a secret, but at the meeting of the delegates, there was talk about allowing Viktor-kun to carry weapons on campus.”
“If it’s a secret, shouldn’t I tell you?”
“I was just talking to myself. It can’t be helped if someone heard it.”
Enio’s answer.
Permission to possess weapons?
It doesn’t seem like there’s anything bad about it.
Most of the materials needed to decorate the room, cooking materials, and crafting materials are obtained by defeating monsters or animals.
“However, there are seven delegates in total. Among them, the permission of the majority must be obtained. Even so, I don’t think it will be easy to convince the other three.”
“Certainly, the delegates have as strong personalities as the student council officers.”
The delegates I know of are six in total.
A total of six delegates appearing in the game, and one did not appear because it was hidden in a veil.
Among the players, there was a joke saying, “Isn’t it made yet?”
Or, “It’s clear that he’s doing a trick to sell it later on as a DLC.”
“… … .”
Now that I think about it, I think it might have been the right thing to say.
Enio said.
“First of all, I think I can somehow convince Eris and Morrian. The one left is the problem. Opinions are not always unified, even among delegates.”
Enio was kind to me with a strange feeling.
Are you trying to make amends for me protecting you from Enrique?
Or were you more grateful than you thought for helping me find the yellow ribbon?
However, I was rather burdened by that favor.
If the return is too big compared to the goodwill you showed out, you have to return that overflowing amount again.
Then again, the other side will return, and I again—infinite repetition.
This is why it is clean when people give only what they receive and receive only what they give.
“Enio, the favor is nice, but it’s my job, so I’ll take care of it.”
“Yes, was Viktor-kun such a person?”
With that, our conversation ended for a while.
When you are thinking for a long time about where and what kind of furniture should be placed.
“Hey, Victor.”
Enio talks to me again.
“Why are you calling me?”
“Come to think of it, he’s a club member like me. I mean, I’ve never eaten anything Viktor-kun cooked. Can you give me one?”
“Didn’t you say you were a member of the Ghost Club?”
“It is, but. I think I put a lot of effort into giving this room to Viktor-kun.”
It was Enio who opened her slender eyes as if slightly pouting and glared at me.
Enio was right.
In obtaining this club’s insolvency, he owed a little to Enio.
If I don’t pay it now, I don’t know how it will come back later.
I don’t know about the debts of the other guys, but it’s always better to pay off the debts to Enio quickly.
otherwise i’m scared
“great. It was just the moment when I thought it would be nice to have a new menu, so I’ll take special requests. What would you like to eat?”
“me? I… .”
Enio ponders for a long time.
As far as I know, Enio’s preference was for mild things.
Mild taste of mild tofu or steamed ramen.
“Well. When I ask this question, my worries deepen again. To think that Viktor-kun cooks for me. uh huh… .”
It takes a long time to worry.
Time is like a bourgeois.
Would you like some help choosing the menu?
“Would you like some tofu?”
Now that Enrique has been defeated, according to the episode, the underground market will open to civilians soon.
There, you can get Enio’s favorite tofu.
“tofu? Viktor-kun, how did you know I like tofu?”
“It’s just a feeling.”
“Huh, I will do that. But now I don’t want to eat that much. I should rather say something now. I feel like eating something sweet.”
something sweet?
In Ludens, who was desperate to survive, sweet things belonged to their own luxuries.
Even for princesses like Victorica and Enio, if it were the mainland, it would be hard to see anything sweet in this Ludens- probably.
“No matter how Viktor-kun is, do you think suddenly something like this is a difficult order?”
“No, no problem.”
I don’t know if it’s a mass-produced item.
It’s not difficult to make just one.
The biggest problem is that you have to be prepared to be stung by the bees.
