The Teachers Who Abandoned Me Are Obsessed With Me

26 – Invite me to dinner

“Ugh! The contest is canceled!”

Selene struggled while holding the baby lion doll.

Originally, she would have prepared hard for the competition in the training room, but Selene is now in her dormitory.

Because the tournament was temporarily suspended.

It was an unprecedented situation in history when the 3rd Princess Cornelia was attacked at the Colosseum.

‘…… 3Rd Princess, you’ll be fine.’

She is also a citizen of the Eridu Empire, so I hope the imperial family is safe.

I was happy to see the 3rd princess in the competition.

She didn’t know it would turn out like this.

Selene sighed and turned on her device.

『Quarterfinal Group B Selene Innin Gramberge vs Jeanne D. Valois.』

The brackets are meaningless now.

Jeanne also passed the round of 16, and she met Selene in the quarterfinals.

Originally, she would have been eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Should we be comforted that we won?

“I’m sorry.”

Selene threw the device and buried her face in her lion puppet.

Jeanne’s face disappears and her patternless helmet comes to mind.

Moonlight.

The boy who saved and advised me.

Actually, that’s why I feel so sad.

If the tournament is cancelled, I won’t be able to meet him.

A person who knows nothing except a pseudonym.

Even when I opened the student bulletin board, they only talked about the princess attack, but they didn’t mention moonlight anywhere.

‘…… Should I contact my parents?’

I want you to find out who Moonlight is.

There are many excellent informants in Gramberge’s nature.

I wonder if they would ask me anything.

Selene lifted her thin legs and knocked on her bed.

3 Princess Palace.

A place called the “Palace of the Stars”.

Princess Cornelia was sitting in the drawing room of the princess’s palace.

After the incident, there were no traces of curses or scars, so he quickly returned.

Cornelia had well-groomed silver hair, and she was wearing a tiara that matched her hair color. She also wears a white dress and only sits calmly, but she has her own dignity.

No matter how many times they are attacked, the imperial family is the one who stands above all people.

I did not dare to show weakness.

“Come in.”

Cornelia’s voice was quiet but powerful.

Soon, two nobles bowed and brought something. The two approach the red carpet carefully.

They were dispatched from the Duke of Demazière.

“This is Count Hassan and Count Rosac from Demagier!”

The guard at the entrance shouted.

The quality of the cutting edge is not low, but it is not excessive either.

Cornelia looked at the two nobles with a delicate expression.

The two nobles glanced over at her Cornelia and then laid their eyes on her. It was embarrassing to see the princess, who was thought to be in a hospital bed, alive and well.

‘I don’t break down easily.’

So, don’t underestimate the imperial family.

The nobles of Demazière raised their hands and offered something, weighed down by their dignity.

Something they are holding.

It was a single sword wrapped in luxurious silk.

「Dragon Slayer Ascalon.」

Originally, it was the winning product of the Humbaba Central Competition.

De Magiere’s, but Cornelia stole Ascalon in the name of this incident.

It is true that Demazière’s security was poor.

“Rose.”

“Yes, lower.”

Rose, who was behind Cornelia, walked proudly and received Ascalon from the Counts.

Chang!

Rose nodded after taking Ascalon out.

“It is authentic.”

“Okay, you two go back.”

The counts bowed their heads and walked backwards.

Only after the sound of their footsteps had completely died out did Cornelia break her straight posture.

Cornelia sighs as she slumps in her chair in her drawing room.

“Haa… I managed to get one somehow.”

“Thank God. I was worried about what excuse the wicked demagier would make.”

Fortunately, he kept his face.

In the form of stealing Ascalon, it’s like punishing Demazière.

Cornelia bent her upper body and looked down at her dragon flesh, Ascalon.

“This sword belongs to my benefactor.”

“Certainly, the moonlight is well deserved.”

The benefactor the princess said was moonlight.

Rose agreed, carefully wrapping Ascalon in silk.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone that upright.”

Rose remembered the moonlight last night.

A moonlight that appears when most of the escort knights are dead.

He did not receive Rose’s help even in front of 11 terrifying black knights.

[Never interfere, protect the princess.]

Normally he would ask for help, he said to Rose. To protect her princess. It sounded like an escort knight to do his duty.

“Moonlight that spoke about the degree even in an emergency… He was like a swordsman master.”

Rose said with a faint look in her eyes, escaping from her brief thoughts.

Without him, he would have died.

The moonlight that prevented the tragedy Cornelia and Rose were so grateful.

“So… Did you get the benefactor’s information?”

Cornelia asked cautiously.

Even if I want to repay my gratitude, I don’t know anything other than the benefactor’s pseudonym.

“I came in, but…… It seems that Demazière played a trick.”

A vague answer.

Rose took the letter from her chest and handed it to Cornelia.

Cornelia untied the string of the book and unfolded her scroll.

「Participant No. 191 Moonlight Moonlight」

Advance to Group A in the quarterfinals.

19 Years old, attending Charles Academy.

Male boy」

From noble mtl dot com

“…… ?”

Cornelia turned the letter back. But she had no further content anywhere.

“This is… Is it over?”

“Yes.”

“Haa…… The duke wrote a number. Somehow, I wanted to follow him gently. Missing information on anonymous participants. The list of participants must have been messed up too.”

Cornelia let out a sigh as she rolled up her letter.

First of all, the information written here is not wrong.

I thought I knew the name of my benefactor, but I don’t even have that. Information is lacking.

I’m sure the duke knows the rest of the information.

Cornelia is tired of these political tricks.

“Grunt… Still, she found out where her benefactor was. Rose, please post the notice. I will write the details.”

“What do you mean?”

“We will prepare a seat so that the benefactor is not burdened, and the participants who have reached the quarterfinals will not regret it.”

“I will request cooperation from the Charles Academy.”

“Yes, please.”

While I was eating a chicken breast sandwich, an alarm came and I opened the device.

『Imperial official letter!

Hello everyone. I am Cornelia Innin Ishtar, the third princess of the Ishtar royal family. It’s the center of this case, but don’t worry, I’m fine.

More than that, everyone who participated in the Humbaba Central Conference!

We would like to invite those who have reached the quarterfinals.

Since the tournament has been temporarily suspended due to an unfortunate accident, we are going to have a dinner party with the top 8 finalists. We hope that you can come and tour the “Palace of the Stars” And become an opportunity to make friends with future knights.

This official letter is addressed to all participants in the Preliminary Round for the Humbaba Central Conference.

We apologize to those who do not fall under this category.

If you have any difficulties in moving, please contact the personnel office of Charles Academy.

Participation Qualifications: Quarterfinalists of the Humbaba Central Competition

Location: 3rd Princess Palace – Star Palace.

Date: November 6, 921 in the Imperial calendar at 6pm.』

So, are we going to have dinner with the guys who advanced to the quarterfinals?

I thought as I swallowed the sandwich.

…… Doesn’t appeal to me at all.

I’d think about it if we gathered the final 8 players and put them on an unlimited duel, but let’s have a leisurely meal.

It’s a waste of time.

It’s a long way to the princess’s palace.

I deleted the notice and put the device in my pocket.

Suddenly, Selene, who looked excited, passed by. Did the sweaty thing in the sportswear do some training?

“Ugh.”

Selene and her eyes met. Selene blushed and distorted her expression, ashamed that her arrogance had been discovered.

“It’s not like I see you pathetic once or twice, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

She seems to be bothering me for nothing.

As expected, Selene spoke to me.

“Hey! Don’t you care about me? I’m a quarterfinalist, so I can have a meal with the 3rd princess!”

“Did you get the official letter too?”

“Yes! But you fell off the qualifier and can’t go? Joy.”

The official text itself also went to the preliminaries who did not advance to the quarterfinals.

It’s unfortunate, but I’m also a quarterfinalist.

Needless to say, I shove her leftover sandwich into her mouth.

Selene looked down at me for a while, then she checked her surroundings and bowed her head to me.

“You.”

I looked up.

Selene has a new debt.

The fact that he was teleported to the academy when he returned from fighting the heretical black knights.

Since the transaction must be clear, I can listen to trivial remarks for up to an hour.

“Tell me.”

“…… ? Strangely kind You, other than that, what do boys like these days?”

In the preliminaries, Jeanne said the same thing, and girls of this age seem to have similar interests.

It’s not that I couldn’t survive the fall of the empire for nothing.

“I practice when I have time to think about that.”

“Can’t you see me? I trained hard until just now!”

“… ….”

From my point of view, I don’t think I’ve reached the peak of stimulation.

I shook my head.

“Continue to show hard training. That kind of hard work creates a good impression.”

“I can’t train in front of boys.”

“Can’t we train together?”

The word comradeship is not for nothing.

When you train together, sweat, and compete, good feelings naturally follow.

Selene opened her eyes wide as if she realized something, but she immediately sulked.

“…… I want to do that, but I don’t even know his name.”

“It’s a total mess.”

“Ugh. Anyway so! I mean, he’s coming to this dinner party. Do you have any recommendations for outfits or behavior?”

“Cloth your clothes. As for the behavior, if the man is practicing, don’t bother.”

“I understand the front, but what about the back? Grunt…… It’s not very helpful, but there’s no one to practice at a dinner party.”

Why not?

If I were kidnapped at a dinner party, I would meditate with my eyes closed.

Selene made her puzzled face, and she immediately said thank you.
