Chapter 178, Information in the Form of Rumors_2

I could not understand what Ms. Schwarz meant by ‘Gray might skip grades and enter Azalea Academy early’.
Next year… no, it’s already this year. The only Shiki resident who has a chance of enrolling this year is Apricot, and even she’s hesitant to enroll despite having a worthy rival there because ‘the atmosphere at the academy feels like it’s mocking Ms. Violet’.
In addition, she’s also worrying about Gray, saying ‘I can’t leave my Disciple behind…’.
If Gray enrolls, Apricot might choose to enroll too. In that case, I would have to fill out the paperwork as Gray and Apricot’s guardian — wait, that’s not important here.
“Is it some kind of a mistake? At the very least I haven’t heard anything of the sort.”
I questioned the authenticity of this information.
It’s something that concerns our Family, so there’s no way we would not know about it… but, what bothers me is that Ms. Schwarz called it information and not a rumor.
In other words, there’s a reason why she’s relaying this information that we don’t know about…
“I see… I also thought it was some kind of a mistake, but I heard that the headmaster of Azalea Academy had a boy he wanted to recommend even if it meant making him skip grades. Apparently it’s a boy with grey hair who is likely skilled in magic.”
“But, that alone doesn’t necessarily mean it’s Gray…”
“But the boy in question is a member of the Heartfield Family… do you have any siblings or relatives whom this could be referring to?”
“I can’t think of any. My oldest of nieces and nephews is only five years old.”
A grey-haired boy from the Heartfield Family who’s skilled in magic.
Judging from the characteristics and the information, it’s definitely Gray. Surely they would not actually let my Older Brother’s five-year-old son enroll. Knowing my Brother, I wouldn’t put it past him to make his Son skip grades to add some prestige to the Family… but I doubt it’ll happen.
“Besides, I heard that you two were invited to the school festival in the capital recently. Word is that the principal has a knack for distinguishing those with talent in magic and those without. I thought maybe he noticed Gray’s talents at that time.”
That unnecessarily young looking Principal Noir, huh?
If I remember correctly, in the ‘setting’ he had eyes that could tell the amount of mana and attribute of others by looking at them while focusing his power in his eyes. There’s a scene where—he scouts the heroine and capture targets to join the student council he’s the advisor for. Depending on the route, some characters may or may not join the student council, but most love interests end up joining.
… I don’t know if it’s because of that, but the student council becomes full of good-looking guys that sometimes the heroine ends up getting harassed.
“I’ll be wary just in case. Once somebody comes for the documents and recommendations, I’ll confirm Gray’s desires and decide what to do.”
“Fair enough. I’ll also let you know if I find out any more information. There might be something going on behind the scenes.”
“Yes please.”
Anyway, Principal Noir took notice of Gray, huh?… I didn’t have much contact with him when I was a student, but it looks like he was able to see magic talent in Gray which I did not notice. But even if that’s the case, would it really be enough to make Gray, whom he has probably never spoken to, skip grades?
“Well, if there’s anything to worry about, it’s you and Violet. You’ve been such doting Parents to Gray, will you even be able to let him go?”
“That’s a concern too, but if Gray goes to the Capital, he’s likely going to be influenced in a different way to Shiki…”
“… Indeed. It’s scary to think about him learning about nightlife through his friends’ influence.”
If there’s one concern about letting Gray enroll in Azalea Academy, it’s whether he’ll be exposed to the negative influence in the Capital. Shiki is also problematic in its own way, but it’s not like the Capital only has good influence either.
Even if I ask Apricot to look after him, there will inevitably be places where she can’t follow him, giving their differences in sex.
“Well, although I would be lonely and worried, I think entering the academy would be a good experience for him. However, if the information about recommendation with skipping grades is true—“
“Fufufu, that’s exactly right, Clo!”
“Eek!?”
While I was talking to Ms. Schwarz, a pervert appeared, wearing witch clothes that were not as flashy as Apricot.
W-why is she in Shiki?! The memories of her touching my arm not only did not fade, they’ve become so scary, I even confessed it to Cyan, and now that the person in question had appeared in front of me, the flashbacks became even more vivid.
Stop It! Stop giving me that look! It is as if you are saying, ‘looking at you again, I can see your muscles through his clothes…’
“That’s a rude reaction. You shouldn’t behave like that towards someone of higher rank.”
Dammit! Mrs. Vert is an Archwizard and comes from a Viscount Family. Given our standings, my reaction earlier was far too rude.
But I can’t help being scared.
“… I’m sorry, Mrs. Vert.”
“Well, if you want to apologize, you can just strip.”
“Happy New Year. I don’t really want to involve myself with you, but I look forward to working with you.”
“Yeah, I’ll be in your care with my Son.”
Yeah, I’m starting to think that it’s okay to treat this person roughly outside of public places.
If I give her even an inch, she will try to take a mile.
“By the way, what’s exactly right?”
“Yes, that’s right. Actually— Hm, you are…”
“Mm, what about me, beautiful lady?”
Before Mrs. Vert could bring up the topic, she clearly recognized Ms. Schwarz’s presence and gave her a quick look up and down without being rude.
…Hmm, what is this feeling? This is what they call–
“My goodness… you are wonderful!”
“Oh? Where did this come from all of a sudden?”
“How beautiful! There’s nothing unnecessary about your body. It’s so perfectly balanced, it could be called art!”
“Oh! I see you have easily recognized the beauty of my body rather than my face, which is the most prominent part of my beauty! You are quite the audience, Frau!”
“I can tell even through your clothes, that you are undoubtedly the woman with the most beautiful body out of all the women I have met! My goodness, is this heaven…?!”
“Heh, if you praise me that much, I have to respond.—I shall show off my beauty right this instant.”
“What, you mean—“
“Yeah— I’ll strip.”
“What… did… you say…?!”
“Stop it, you perverts!”
I have a feeling that two people who were never meant to cross paths somehow did.
