It Ends Up Being a Different Conclusion Than I Had Expected

“Everyone, charge!” (Raphael)

With Raphael’s command, we rushed into the building where Wilfred and the others were located.

“We should go too!” (Harold)

“Yes!” (Alexandra)

Following the soldiers, we also ran toward the building. Since the party had just started, I thought there was no way they’d make a big mistake yet, but there could always be the worst-case scenario.

I absolutely cannot allow even a single person to be harmed.

“Wilfred!” (Harold)

I yelled loudly and jumped into the building, but…

“Haha… if it isn’t Brother Harold, I thought it was someone else.” (Wilfred)

There, I saw Wilfred laughing as he stepped on one of the fallen male students, with Marion holding her battle axe ‘Sky Drive’ and Warren shouldering his sword.

What is going on here…

“Ah, I’m defeated. I was just trying to host a party to deepen our camaraderie, but then the seniors suddenly started rampaging.” (Wilfred)

“Really… I’m sorry for causing trouble to His Highness Wilfred despite being here.” (Warren)

Wilfred shrugged, and Warren kneeled, begging for forgiveness.

Eh? What is this farce? But…

“… We’ve been played.” (Harold)

I murmured in a voice too quiet to hear.

Perhaps, that had been their purpose from the start, but… at some point, I’m not sure when, they must have sensed our movement and changed their strategy.

“Your Highness Wilfred…” (??)

“Everyone, don’t worry. We’ve subdued these filthy people. Since Brother Harold and Brother Raphael have come, I’ll leave the rest to you… but it seems impossible to continue the party now. Perhaps we can try again another day?” (Wilfred)

“O-Of course!” (??)

“Please, do!” (??)

Ah, yeah. I guess they were about to be attacked and Wilfred saved them in a cool way. The heroines are looking at him with sparkling eyes. In the end, it’s just a matter of whether they got us to comply using the least amount of force they had planned or if they increased our affection to make us dependent on them.

By the way…

“That’s… Lady Liliana, isn’t it?” (Harold)

“It seems so.” (Cedric)

Among the female students, there’s Liliana, the heroine of Galhaz, and like the others, she gazes at Wilfred with an enraptured… no, rather, a very subtle expression.

Once things calm down, I think I’ll ask her about what happened today.

“Brother Harold, I’ll escort them back to the dorm, so please take care of the rest. Oh, if possible, could you finish quickly? I live here.” (Wilfred)

“…” (Harold)

Wilfred passed by me with a composed expression, followed by Warren glaring at me with an irritated look, and Marion, who was expressionless, walking after them as they left the building.

“Cedric, explain to me what happened inside.” (Raphael)

Raphael crossed his arms and asked Cedric in a firm tone.

After the male students who had been beaten by Wilfred and the others were all taken away, we gathered in the reception room of the dorm.

“Yes… Actually…” (Cedric)

Cedric explained in detail what happened from the time we infiltrated the party to the moment we burst in. When Cedric entered the building with Warren’s entourage, it was already wrapped in a strange atmosphere, and the male students who had arrived earlier were excitedly waiting for something to happen.

Wilfred and Warren were also there, but they were whispering to each other, occasionally laughing suspiciously. When Marion arrived a little late, she whispered something in Wilfred’s ear. Wilfred’s expression turned into a lewder smile, and seeing that, Warren also seemed to understand and broke into a grotesque grin.

Cedric, who had tried not to be noticed, managed to gather information by staying hidden behind the bodies of Warren’s entourage while watching Wilfred and his group. Then, the female students, who were to be the sacrifices for today, began arriving one after another.

The male students who were participating escorted them inside, but their excited state left the female students a little… no, quite taken aback. Wilfred greeted them with a smile, and the female students seemed relieved.

As if planned, alcohol was served, and although some of the girls tried to refuse, Wilfred insisted, saying “It’s to celebrate everyone’s coming of age and admission to the academy”, and half-forced them to drink. In the end, everyone took a glass.

Then, Wilfred raised his glass, and just as the party was about to begin… his expression suddenly turned grim. He quickly called Marion and Warren to his side, whispered something to them, and the two left the venue, leaving only Wilfred behind. When they returned, it was only about a minute later.

“… Suddenly, Wilfred’s maid and Warren started beating up the male students. I, who didn’t have a weapon, was among those who were attacked as well.” (Cedric)

“I… I see…” (Raphael)

After hearing the story, everyone in the room wore expressions of confusion. That was because Cedric’s explanation had too many points that didn’t make sense.

I don’t think he’s lying though. That’s why, the more I heard, the more I couldn’t help but tilt my head in confusion over this inexplicable situation.

“Haru-sama, what do you think?” (Alexandra)

“I don’t know… From what I heard from brother-in-law, I don’t think Wilfred intended this from the start. I still don’t understand what happened to make him suddenly change like that.” (Harold)

However, it seemed likely that someone noticed our movements and somehow informed Wilfred, bypassing Cedric, using methods Cedric couldn’t comprehend.

“Brother Raphael, in any case, it’s clear that information was leaked this time. We need to find the mole inside.” (Harold)

“Right. I may have made the operation a bit too large this time. If there’s a next time, I’ll make sure to be more careful.” (Raphael)

Personally, I hope there’s no next time… but I have a feeling something similar might happen again…

With that premonition and a slight sense of unease, Raphael and I nodded at each other.
