Book 3: Chapter 41: Sir Butler's troublesome day
I, Cyril, was standing in front of the office desk in the Student Council leader’s designated workspace, located in the Student Council meeting rooms. And on the other side of the office desk sat a frail-looking young girl—Fol—illuminated by the rays of the setting sun shining through the window. She was looking at the written report I had submitted.
Written on it was a summary of the finances generated by the clubroom buildings. By the way, ‘clubroom buildings’ refers to the areas in which the buildings where students hold tea parties with their own faction members and other such things are concentrated. Therefore, if the area is large, the amount of money circulated would be large as well.
Incidentally, students of the Servant Course also get hired to do temporary jobs there so it wasn’t uncommon for them to generate an income too. Since the written report was a summary of all of these, the number was pretty hefty. However, Fol didn’t bat an eye when she looked at the sum.
…Well, even though she was pretending to be an ordinary person, she was still a Royal on the inside. Moreover, she was a disciple of Teacher Tristan, a capture target in the original game, a super butler and incidentally, my elder sister from our previous world. So even if the number was high enough to astonish her, it probably wouldn’t show on her face.
“This is very well-organized. As expected of you, Cyril. Frankly speaking, I thought that this would take you about three days. I had no idea you’d finish it in half a day.”
“…You say that, but if I’m not mistaken, you asked me to finish it by today, didn’t you?”
I raised my eyebrow and Fol smiled. Her blonde hair sparkled in the rays of the setting sun. While she looked like someone from a fairy tale, I noticed that she was scheming something, since I had known her for quite a while by then.
“What are you planning?”
“Oh my, how uncouth of you to ask me in such a straightforward manner. Why, it’s a surprise of course! Don’t worry, I won’t repay your kindness by causing you harm.”
