Reversal
Before school vacation
Eugenia was always surrounded by many female students.
The so-called entourage
She goes to school separately from me and the four idiots, and her surroundings have changed.
"Mac"
"What is it?"
"It seems that the treatment of Eugenia has changed?"
In the Empire, Marguerite, and Shelma, it’s already common knowledge that thugs approached Eugenia
And I was able to successfully repel them
"Isn't there a rumor going around about her in the Empire?"
"I know the rumors and the truth."
After all, I am also involved.
Eugenia is walking resolutely through the school.
There are 2 people in her entourage
Just Tinia and Mileina.
And the former entourage is watching while covering their mouths with fans.
Their gaze is an unpleasantly blatant look of ridicule
"This isn't something I said, it's just a rumor that's been circulating, so please don't get mad at me, okay?"
"Is it a case that would make me angry?"
"That person was attacked by a thug while school was closed."
"I know"
"And it seems she was raped for no reason. Hey, it's a problem if I get that kind of murderous intent from a scary, scary you."
"…Is that all?"
"The rape took place for five days, and in the end, she became so lewd that she opened her legs and shook her hips... Please give me a break, I don't want to be killed.''
In short, rumors are being spread that are the exact opposite of the facts.
"When did you guys hear that rumor?"
"Well, right in the middle of the school holidays."
"So do I."
"Me too"
"Same"
Isolated by rumors?
If it had become a fact without us helping, who would have benefited?
――――
Eugenia wasn't the only one whose environment changed.
"Idouard? He hasn't been here since the school closed."
Ido, who was supposed to be attending the sword club every day, disappeared.
It seems that he is participating in the class.
But Ido's credibility as a supposedly exemplary student seems to be losing it.
And that is also spreading among the students as a rumor.
"His clothes have become sloppy."
"Oh yeah, he opens his chest part wide open."
"I heard he goes outside as soon as class ends."
"Look, you see, he's going out with some very rude people."
"I heard that he got warned for putting his legs on the desk during class"
"Ah, I saw that too."
It's more of an eyewitness testimony than a rumor.
"Ask-san"
Mileina calls out to me when I'm heading home after the sword club activities are over.
"Ah, Ask-kun. This is it for us."
Eugenia is also next to Mileina.
Apparently, everyone in the sword club doesn't want anything to do with the rumored person.
"Are you two going home?"
"Yes, Tinia-san has something to do."
"I see, how was it during school closure?"
"I made a lot of money."
"How much?"
"I earned eight gold coins."
Isn't that a lot of money for the general public?
"That's a blatant aversion."
Eugenia says that and interrupts Mileina and me's conversation.
"I didn't know what to say."
"It's okay to carry on as usual. Rumors are rumors, and you're a witness, so there's nothing to worry about."
"Well, I guess so."
"But it's a terrible rumor! What kind of grudge do they have against Eugenia-san to make such a malicious rumor? Also, it's vulgar."
"I'm a noble, so I've received a lot of grudges that I don't even remember."
That's what it is
No matter how good government is, there will always be people who suffer.
Then such people will hate the ruler.
[The reason I'm unhappy is because the people above are exploiting me].
I'm not saying it's wrong, but I wish they had a broader perspective.
"If you make a profit somewhere, there will be someone who loses money somewhere."
"The problem is that the greater the profit, the greater the disadvantage."
Yes, if a country's profits increase, other countries will incur losses.
If they become an enemy or competing nation, they will be hated.
"Is Mileina okay?"
"What is?"
"It's no use, Prince Ask. You guys have been involved since the first day of the new semester, so I kept you guys away from the rumors."
"But you're walking next to us like this?"
"Rumors don't matter! Eugenia-san is a wonderful person."
Mileina was a woman with a surprisingly strong mind.
Even now, when I walk like this, I get strange looks from all sorts of places, but I walk without worrying about it at all.
Even though she is clearly aware of the gaze
"There's nothing to worry about. Rumors like that without consistency will disappear in no time."
Mileina says so.
Ever since the new semester started, everyone at the school felt that something was starting to crumble.
