Mulle Esse Eisbert is the youngest daughter of the Eisbert Family, a Duke family that is well known as a prestigious magician family.
Just like every other noble family, Eisbert family is also a matrilineal family (tracing of kinship through the female line.). Only female names are listed in their family tree to the point that the government suspects them of conducting gender preselection which was prohibited.
She has five older sisters, all of whom graduated from the prestigious Otori Magic Academy with top grades. Even after graduating, all of them are always on the front page of newspapers in all aspects such as politics, business, and magic association…. To put it simply, they made enough achievements to decorate the front page of newspapers in every aspect.
So to speak, the Eisbert family is an elite family. Of course, Mulle, who was born in that family also carried such expectations on her back, but…she couldn’t live up to her parents’ expectations.
That was because she was born with magic deficiency. Her magic power is equal to 0, and she can’t cast any magic properly. The wand-shaped magic device hanging on her waist is merely a decoration, and just like her alias 『Faker』, she is called a 『Fake Magician』.
Of course, even if she can’t use magic, if she was able to make some achievements in other fields, it’s already considered good. However, unfortunately, she couldn’t show her power in study either. No matter how much she tried, her performance was below that of her magic disciplined sisters.
Every day, every day, every day. Mulle never stopped trying her best, until…. one day, her mother said with a smile.
『You don’t have to do anything anymore.』
At that moment, her heart broke. The only things remaining for her was the position of dormitory manager of Flavum, which was given to her because of the large amount of donations made by the Eisbert family, and the arrogance that she carried from the backlash of the expectations of the Eisbert family on her.
Mulle no longer knew how to make herself look like a member of the prestigious Eisbert family besides demonstrating it with her mouth and attitude. Precisely because of that, the people who were sympathetic to her at first gradually began to move away from her.
And when she realized, there was only one attendant left beside her.
“Ugh…. Wo….!!”
“Why did Sanjou Hiiro suddenly start crying?”
“N-no idea…?”
At the top floor of Flavum. I, who just passed through the fine dormitory manager’s room and drawing room, cried, as I remembered the end of Mulle route.
That was…. That was no good… That wasn’t a Yuri anymore, but the story of Mulle’s growth…. And that last development is too unfair, I couldn’t help but cry…!
“I-I’m sorry.”
Sitting on the leather sofa, I whispered to Mulle who sat in front of me.
“I- I will… always be on your side, so…. if there is an enemy that stands…. in the middle of your happiness… I’ll remove them with this body…!”
“W-well, I don’t really understand, but what loyalty! Fufu, looks like this man noticed the charisma that overflows from me! Right, Lily?”
Lily Classical. She, who kept accompanying Mulle until the end, kept her beautiful posture and said, “Yes, as you say.”
“By the way, manager.”
I wiped my tears with the handkerchief handed to me by Lily.
“Why did you choose me as your special nominee?”
“Eh?”
After nodding with satisfaction, she looked at Lily with a troubled face. And the maid, who still folded her hands neatly, answered with her eyes closed.
“Of course, that’s because Sanjou Hiiro-sama is well accepted by Ojou-sama.”
“T-that’s right! I am Mulle Esse Eisbert of that Eisbert Family! To be honest, I didn’t really like meeting a man like you, but since there seems to be at least something I can expect from you, I will allow you to specially sit–”
“…Ojou-sama.”
Surprised, Mulle reacted by crossing her arms and mumbled, “Hmph!”.
“I-I didn’t particularly say something wrong! Mother always said that men are trash! And originally, I, the daughter of the Eisbert family, didn’t need to meet a man like him! But, because she requested at any cost–”
“Hou…”
I grinned.
“In other words, that ‘girl’ asked you to choose me as your special nominee, right?”
With a sigh, Lily held her temple, while Mulle waved her hands in panic and shouted, “I-I don’t know, okay! I don’t know anything!!”
Looking at that, I smiled bitterly and called someone who has been hiding behind.
“You are listening from the start, right? Come in–”
The door opened–
“Tsukiori.”
–and The MC, Tsukiori Sakura, entered.
“Not only good at swordsmanship, but you can also think.”
“Is that flattery or a mockery?”
She entered the drawing room, sat next to me– and linked her arms with mine.
“… Oi, you.”
“How did you know? Since when?”
It’s not like she wanted to flirt with me, of course. She just pretended to be that way while trying to keep me from escaping by linking her arms.
But Mulle, who misunderstands that, reddened, while her eyes were closed by Lily-san.
“Isn’t that a natural conclusion? As long as she did a proper investigation, there is no way the Ojou-sama from the Eisbert Family would choose me, a man with 0 score. Which means, someone asked her to do that. At first, I thought it was the work of the Sanjou family, but there is no merit for them to put me in the dormitory.”
Tsukiori looked at my face with great interest.
“In that case, it should be someone who got involved with me in the school, and wanted to put me in the dormitory… With that, there is only one answer, it’s you, Tsukiori Sakura.”
I stopped resisting her arms and continued mumbling.
“I heard from an eyewitness that Tsukiori helped Mulle in the morning before the short home room, after all. And originally, the one whom the dormitory manager selected as the special nominee was you, right… Tsukiori? Knowing that, you came up with a way to get me, a man, into the dormitory by selecting me as the special nominee, so you approached the dormitory manager to negotiate. I think this is what you said to her. 『Sanjou Hiiro’s ability is equal to myself. Besides, if you let Hiiro enter the dormitory, I promise to enter Flavum unconditionally』. Am I right?”
The eyewitness information is, of course, a lie, and I just have the knowledge of the game. But for Tsukiori and the other two, who didn’t know about that, the things that I said seemed to make them shocked, as they looked at me with their eyes wide open.
“Amazing… not only strong, you are also smart.”
Smiling, Tsukiori embraces my arm, not letting me go.
Her beautiful maroon hair gives off a nice scent of shampoo, as her moist eyes looked up at me.
“Hiiro-kun.”
Then with a charm that I couldn’t refuse, she whispered.
“You will enter… Flavum… right?”
T-this girl! Are women so insufficient that she wants to make me, a man, fall?!
“F-for a man, you sure have a sharp intuition! It’s just like what Tsukiori said! With this, this year’s Flavum can aim for first place! Right, Lily?”
“Ee… to be honest, I was surprised… it’s like you have seen it yourself…”
Sorry, but I actually saw it myself.
Tsukiori stared at me with her eyes shining…. As I judged that I couldn’t escape anymore, I muttered.
“I’ll enter Flavum. I have thought about it, I think it’s the best choice.”
The smiling Tsukiori then moved away and– softly brought her lips to my ear.
“I’m looking forward to…. our school life from now on.”
Then in front of me, who subconsciously blushed, Tsukiori smiled and gracefully left the room.
As expected of a veteran MC…. a carnivorous girl who silences a girl with a kiss after pressing her against the wall whenever there is a problem…. Now that I think about it, there are many scenes where the MC kisses the other person in Yuri’s work… I’m happy about it, but I wonder why…? (Pure curiosity)
“Yosh! Then, this is me! Mulle Esse Eisbert, approve your entrance to Flavum, Sanjou Hiiro!”
Closing her eyes, Mulle shook her wand and haughtily said.
“Lily! Guide him to his room–”
“No, I don’t need a normal room.”
“Eh, what do you mean?”
Dumbfounded by my answer, she showed a cute reaction for a moment, before she cleared her throat as if she had regained her dignity.
“S-sanjou Hiiro, what do you mean by that?”
“I am a man. I don’t have any intention to disturb the manager and everyone else’s Yuri— No, I mean daily activities. Thus, I’ll live in the attic. I’ll also use the shared equipment at night or very early in the morning, and in addition, I will never show myself if there is a presence of people.”
“Ooh, what a wonderful consideration! You sure know how low your stat–”
“… Ojou-sama.”
“Eh, b-but, Lily, this guy said it himself….”
“Ojou-sama…”
“Uu~…”
The dormitory manager, who was gritting her teeth, turned away as if sulking. And then, feeling sorry about her master’s conduct, Lily-san bowed deeply at me.
“Please forgive her, Sanjou-sama. This girl is easily misunderstood—”
“It’s okay. I can see that she didn’t really mean that with just a glance.”
Surprised by my answer, she looked up and smiled gently.
“W-what’s wrong with you! Are you trying to get close to Lily despite being a man! I won’t allow it!!”
“Ahaha, no way (Crap, she is completely jealous!! This rich sign of Yuri, so irresistible!! My Yuri engine finally warmed up for the first time in a long time!! I have no choice but to accelerate with all my might! Broom broom broom!!)”
“Sanjou-sama, thank you for your consideration, but you truly don’t have to live in the attic…”
To Lily who seemed to be worried, I replied with a smile.
“No, no, for me, that’s just right. If I’m not wrong, all rooms in this dormitory are double-rooms, which is an environment where Yuri can easily grow– No, I mean, an environment where there is no problem for two girls to live, right? There is no way a man like me can squeeze myself into that. I’ll clean the room by myself, so I can live alone there.”
“But…”
“Lily, just leave it! He said it himself!! Just let him do what he wants!”
“… That’s right, I guess I will trouble you if I said anymore.”
Hyuu!! Nice follow, manager!! You’re so cool!! (Applause)
“Well then, excuse me.”
A chance!! With that thought, I tried to leave the room, until–
“Ah, right, Sanjou Hiiro.”
— the dormitory manager called me.
“Your fiancée is waiting outside the dorm. If it’s in the attic, I don’t mind if you live together with her. So, just quickly go pick her up.”
“Ah, I see. Thanks.”
Then, I opened the door, and–
“My fiancée?!”
–shouted, making the dormitory manager, who was scared, lose her balance.
