The next day, Haru and Yuri came to the academy again by riding on the carriage. They came quite early, but a lot of people had already arrived, and from their expressions, they were very excited. Their appearance didn't cause too much attention. After all, there were a lot of beautiful girls in the kingdom, and even though Yuri's jugs were huge, she wasn't the most beautiful one, and Haru was wearing glasses, so his appearance seemed very ordinary.
Both of them walked together to the inside while talking to each other, and their topic was, of course, about the speech for the academy.
"Haru, do you think that the royalty will let you do the speech?" Yuri asked.
"I don't think so." Haru looked at Yuri and said, "After all, I'm someone from another nation. You should know that during the entrance ceremony, there will be a lot of people from both royalty and nobility, will they let someone from another nation give a speech?" If he was on the side of the Earlshide Kingdom, then he wouldn't let someone from another nation give a speech. After all, it was important to boost the morale of the kingdom by telling everyone that their students were the best. Right?
"But you're my boyfriend," Yuri said while pouting and felt that the academy was quite unfair if they didn't let Haru give a speech since he was the 1st rank among all the students. She knew that he might be coming from Els, but after all, it was only a time before he married her, right?
Well, even if Haru didn't intend to marry her, when she got pregnant later, she could ask about his responsibility, that's all, right?
"Unless I change my nationality, then it might be possible, but you should know my status as a council on the Els." Haru patted Yuri's head gently and said, "But the question is, do you think which one is better, become a nobility in your country, or become the president of the Els?"
"....." Yuri was speechless. If someone told her that a commoner would try to become a nobility, then she couldn't believe it, but the one who said all of that was her boyfriend, and she felt that it wasn't impossible, but she also knew that no matter how high nobility was, compared to the position of the president of the Els, it was still far away.
"Well, you don't need to think too much. What's the use of the student representative for the speech? It means nothing," Haru said simply since that was the truth.
If it was someone else who said that, Yuri might scold them, but the one who said this was this guy, so she thought that it was quite normal for him to belittle the position of the student representative since, besides an honor, it meant nothing.
Haru and Yuri walked inside. Then someone called them out.
"Haru! Yuri!"
Haru and Yuri turned their heads and saw both Maria and Sicily that ran in their directions.
"Morning Sicily, Maria," Haru said simply, but Yuri quickly raised her guard against both Maria and Sicily.
"Morning," Lynn said and walked toward them with a sleepy face. She kept staring at Haru and hoped for him to teach her, but this guy ignored her, which made her helpless.
Maria smiled and asked, "Have you prepared yourselves when your speech is messed up later?"
Haru looked at Maria and asked, "Do you think that I'll give a speech?"
"You're not?" 3x
Sicily, Maria, and Lynn were surprised.
"Probably not." Haru shook his head and wondered why they wanted him to give a speech. "Let's sit down first."
They nodded and decided to bring their conversation later after they had sat down.
When they walked together, Shin Wolford, the protagonist of this world, and August von Earlshide, the current crown prince of the Earlshide Kingdom, stood next to each other since they knew each other. However, Shin was attracted to Sicily, who was walking along with Haru's group.
August followed Shin's gaze and smiled. "What's wrong, Shin? Have you fallen in love, perhaps?"
"Wh - What are you talking about, August!" Shin was blushing, feeling very shy.
August looked in Haru's direction and raised his eyebrow for a bit since he had heard Haru's information which made him speechless. If Haru was like Shin, then he wouldn't worry too much, but Haru was the youngest council member ever on the Els, which made him realize that there was a bigger mountain on the outside.
"By the way, you'll be the one who gives the speech, right?" Shin suddenly asked.
"Uh, yeah." August's expression was quite unnatural when Shin asked this question.
Shin smiled and patted August's shoulder. "What? Are you nervous about your speech now? You're not like a prince at all."
"Shut up!" August was annoyed when he was being teased.
Shin only laughed and didn't say much since he had always been the one who was being teased so it was quite novel when he could tease August, but still, even though he was happy that he was able to tease August, he had to admit that he was quite amazed of Haru, who was surrounded by a lot of girls, after all, Haru's face was so ordinary.
Shin wasn't sure whether he was handsome or not, but he knew that he wasn't bad, yet he was still single which made him helpless. He looked at Sicily and hoped that she was still single, or rather, he hoped that he would be able to talk to her, but he wasn't sure how to introduce himself.
"Well, let's sit down first," August said.
"Oh." Shin nodded and walked toward his seat. Preferably, he wanted to sit near Sicily, but it was alright if he couldn't.
---
Haru sat down, on his right was Yuri, and on his left was Maria. He could see that a lot of male students seemed quite jealous of him, but he ignored them. He looked around and could see various familiar faces of nobility that he had seen in the past when Yuri and her family introduced him to their acquaintances, but he didn't talk nor come to them since at this moment, he was a student, not a businessman or the council of the Els.
However, it didn't mean that he would stop observing people, especially the King, the Wise Man, and the Guru.
Haru remembered the faces of the three of them and then talked with either Yuri, Maria, Sicily, or Lynn while wondering whether his harem protagonist aura was so strong, well, it wasn't the time to think about such a stupid thing since the ceremony had started.
The principal of the academy did his speech, then after that, as expected, it was August, the current crown prince, who did the speech for everyone.
Haru had expected this result, but Yuri, Maria, Sicily, and Lynn couldn't help but frown at this moment. The four of them might have expected this problem, but they couldn't help but feel disappointed at the work of the royalty, however, they didn't say much and only listened to August's boring speech that made them want to yawn somehow.
Haru looked at August, then looked Shin from the corner of his eye, feeling quite disappointed since the protagonist was very simple, right?
Haru looked at the quest on his Group Chat and thought that it might not need a long time for him to solve all of the quests.
