The summer vacation at the Pribia Academy lasted for nearly two months, from mid-June to August. It could have been quite long, but in a way it was natural.

First of all, there is no air conditioning here, and the children needed time to receive family education.

Students usually returned to their parents’ homes, or stayed at the academy if the parents’ homes were very far away or during a dispute, spending time with fellow students.

Among the third-year students of the travel department, Johnny, Cheryl, and Stefan, only Stefan returned to his home.

Cheryl was a work scholarship student, so she had to work at the academy even during vacations, and in Johnny’s case, she didn’t go to her parents’ house, but one of her siblings would come to the academy to spend time with Johnny.

“You look very good. Janice.”

All members of the travel club gathered in the clubroom ahead of summer vacation and observed Johnny’s strange eyes as she hummed and swayed her legs in a chair like a child.

In response to Phillip’s question, Johnny’s snorted as if asking what kind of Sonny it was.

“Hey, isn’t it? I don’t feel good at all.”

“… I see.”

Philip decided not to say more.

Then, Johnny, whose lips were itching to tell him why he was happy, pouted his lips with a pouty expression.

“The reason I called you ahead of vacation is because I have something to tell you at the same time as introducing the new members who will be with the travel department.”

Cheryl’s eyes widened at Philip’s notice.

“A new member?”

“okay. Everyone come in.”

When Philip instructed, it was Lua’s friends who came in. Johnny’s mouth widened in disbelief as Hayley Baroun and a beautiful girl opened the door and entered.

“… princess? And Haley Baroun?”

Princess Camilla had become an academy student, but had only taken a few liberal arts classes. I heard that you haven’t decided on a career path yet.

Actually, as a princess, it wouldn’t mean much whether she learned swordsmanship or magic, but she seemed to be thinking hard in her own way.

“He… Oh no, sorry! Is that a princess?”

Cheryl, who had spat out words without thinking, corrected herself by slapping her lips with her hand. She had already heard something from Janis.

It was the same for Stefan, so he wasn’t surprised by the existence of the princess, but the fact that Camilla was involved in club activities was quite surprising.

Phillip put his hand on Camilla’s shoulder, who stood beside him. The children’s pupils were constantly shaking at the sight of that blasphemous act, but neither Philip nor Camilla seemed to care.

That meant one thing.

That Philip is a decent person.

“I think you all know about Camilla. Her status is not ordinary, but while she is studying at the academy, she is only a student, so I hope you all take good care of her. And Hailey Baroun will also be joining us from next semester, so I hope you get along well too.”

“hello. Seniors. This is Hailey Baroun.”

Haley bowed politely to the third-year students. Sheryl and Stefan made awkward expressions because they could feel the dignity of a great nobleman from their decent appearance. I felt like I would be intimidated just by looking at it.

“I am Camilla Velofer Calaria. Please take good care of me. seniors.”

Camilla greeted leisurely. Sheryl, who sensed something more than grace in her, put on a look of admiration. In Camilla’s eyes, it seemed that consideration for the other person and strange charisma coexisted.

‘… Oh my God, I’m in the same position as the princess.’

But Janice was different. She was the one who had already witnessed the princess’s unexplainable ugliness with Lua.

‘Is the bloodline of the royal family different? If that happened to me, I don’t think I would have been able to get out of bed for days.’

It was an admiration in a slightly different sense.

“And what I want to tell you is that I will stay at the academy during the vacation, but I will be out of the country for about a week after the vacation starts. As a reference when something happens that requires my help, or when you want to visit me. Then everyone have a good vacation.”

Cheryl and Johnny were most excited when Phillip said he would be staying at the academy. They were also scheduled to remain at the academy.

Philip, who was about to leave first to give the children time to get acquainted with each other, turned around at the sound of Johnny’s calling.

“Instructor?”

“Why?”

“I have something to tell you.”

Janice followed Philip into the hallway. She hesitated for a moment, then stuck her tongue out, smeared saliva on her lips, and opened her mouth.

“that… My older brother and step-sister are staying at home for the holidays. From yesterday.”

When Johnny’s was a little shy, Phillip smiled and nodded.

“That’s good.”

“When I told my older brother about the instructor… He said he would like to meet you once. Of course, if the instructor is uncomfortable, you don’t have to.”

It was a request with no reason not to accept it, so Philip nodded coolly.

“Don’t let that happen. But I don’t think I have much time. Can we meet today?”

Speaking of Johnny’s older brother, he was someone Philip knew.

Castler Murella.

He was a celebrity who married a female prosecutor from a commoner despite numerous objections. He was a romanticist who was widely known enough for bards to use as material for their songs, so there was no objection.

“Of course!”

Janice smiled brightly and nodded, then hardened her expression again when she realized that she had been laughing too rudely.

Brothers with younger sisters with a considerable age gap are usually divided into two categories.

Either face it, or cherish it like a daughter.

Castler Murella was of the #2 (later) kind.

When the Murellas visited the mansion they had purchased for Johnnys, Cassler Murella and his wife, Cynthia Murella, greeted Philip.

“I heard a lot about it. Instructor Oswald. Thank you so much for saving my brother’s life.”

He was a thirty-year-old young man with a gentle expression. He was courteous to Philip, who was much younger than him, and so was Cynthia Murella, who was six years younger than him.

“It was heartbreaking to think that I might never see my young lady again. thank you so much.”

“no. It was a natural thing to do as an instructor.”

When Phillip spat out words of humility, Castler Murella shook his head and said,

“How nice would it be if the world just went back like that? Nothing bad would happen to the world if it was only natural to fight vampires for the sake of a girl without a drop of blood.”

Castler seemed quite philosophical. After changing from her school uniform to a room dress, Johnny blushed and stopped Cassler.

“Stop it. Brother. Are you trying to tell us something difficult again?”

Despite being a sixteen-year-old girl, Castler’s gaze at Johnny’s was not much different from the gaze at a small lump of blood.

“I get it. okay. Anyway, on behalf of the family, thank you again. Instructor. The family will deliver a gift in return soon, so please wait a little longer.”

At that, Philip shook his head.

“It’s enough that Johnny is healthy like that. I don’t want anything in return.”

“You are the model of an educator.”

Castler, greatly impressed, immediately ordered the maid to fetch some bottles of wine. Philip blinked at the tarred label on the bottle.

‘No, that one?’

“I always carry the most precious wine of my collection with me wherever I go, hoping to have a drink with someone like Instructor someday.”

It was a drink that Emile Panoy, who likes to drink, had mentioned several times.

“This is the one my grandfather gave me. It’s called Berusia, I’m not sure how old it is, but it probably tastes really good. I have a schedule in a few days, so I won’t be able to drink too much, but wouldn’t it be a sin not to have a drink with someone like the instructor?”

“… honey?”

Cynthia Murella opened her ax eye and glared at Cassler, but Cassler only flinched slightly.

“I will enjoy it in moderation. my love. Why don’t you drink with me too?”

As he spoke as he unstopped the bottle, a fragrant smell spread throughout the drawing room. There weren’t many people who could refuse to smell the incense.

Philip knew that the drink was so expensive that he couldn’t buy it even if he saved up five years of the head professor’s salary. It was a loss not to drink it.

“If the instructor doesn’t feel uncomfortable… .”

Cynthia Murella seemed to care quite a bit about where she came from. Philip asked what that meant.

“I think you would be much happier if your wife sat with you?”

That’s how the drinking party took place.

Phillip and Castler got along quite well, and, as is usually the case with first meetings of such people, the initial determination not to drink too much was blown away.

After emptying six bottles of fine wine and whiskey worth dozens of gold coins, Cassler was almost drunk.

Being a wizard, he had a fairly strong mentality, but unfortunately his body was that of a weak wizard.

“… okay… Brother. Are you twenty-two? Enough… With our Johnny’s… I must be of a certain age… .”

One of the magics that can be used with alcohol is to change the title to call the opponent. The title Cassler called Philip had changed from instructor to younger brother before he knew it.

“hahahaha. Is that so.”

Phillip laughed lightly. Philip’s body seemed to have a basic tolerance for alcohol. No matter how much strong alcohol he drank, he was slightly dizzy, but his reason was fine.

Castler nodded as if he liked Philip’s attitude.

“okay… That’s the attitude… I just left my brother… know? Hiccup!”

Cynthia Murella, who was watching the scene, sighed deeply.

“I got drunk a lot. my love. What kind of rudeness is that to the instructor?”

“excuse… rani? How happy are you now… What do you mean? sorry, sorry If it wasn’t for my job this time, I could have been drinking all night… Those bad elven hunters… .”

When her husband started talking about work, Cynthia Murella screamed in surprise.

“honey!”

Kassler, who had come to his senses, pressed his temples with an expression that his head was about to break.

“Oops, I must have made a mistake. But it’s not really a secret, so there’s nothing to shout about. I’m not doing anything bad.”

He waved his hand and apologized to Philip. The title he called Philip had already returned to Instructor.

“I’m sorry. break the mood Actually, I was in charge of a job at Yousef Company. If we end this, the instructor will be embarrassed, so I’ll tell you. It is to capture slave hunters who are targeting elves, and this is a request from a woman named Deluan Yusef, who is believed to be the owner of the next grand meeting.”

Hearing this, Philip blinked.

“You mean Deluan Youssef? The head of the Kalaria branch in the capital city?”

“Oh, are you already acquainted? Actually, I wanted to introduce the instructor to her. I thought it would be helpful to some extent if I opened up to the next Dae Hoe-ju in advance… Ugh, it’s my head.”

‘How could there be such a coincidence… ?’

Philip was amazed. A woman named Deluan was unlucky enough to be curious about this year’s four weeks.

The moment Castler uttered those words, Phillip was able to grasp what Deluan’s plan was.

“Hey, Mr. Castler. It may be a little rude to say this, but… .”

“Ah, tell me.”

Philip swallowed and opened his mouth. There was a taste of alcohol in my mouth.

“She will perish soon.”
