MK 015 â Promotion Exams Day 5
It is Kunonâs fifth day in the aristocratic school and as scheduled, he is now currently taking his final exam that will determine whether he will graduate from the school or not.
Incidentally, this is also the only exam where heâs allowed to take together with his brother, Ixio, and fiance, Milika.
It could also be said that this very moment would be the only time where these three are classmates and have attended the same school and class in all of their lives.
[It wonât just be three of us whoâll be taking the exams though. Thereâs like twenty students or so that will take be with us.] (Ixio)
[So thatâs how it is. Oh yeah, since the number of students are greater than the teachers, I guess it would be inefficient if they have to observe them take the exam one by one.] (Kunon)
[That being the case, I guess Cast-sensei wonât be facilitating my exams anymore. Even though we already started to get close with each other.] (K)
As for Cast, she actually thought that sheâd be observing Kunonâs examinations with other teachers on a rotation basis.
To no oneâs surprise, however, she ended up doing it all by herself in four days straight.
From beginning to end, no one else wanted to take on the troublesome job of facilitating the exam of the blind son of the marquis.
No matter how much the school downplayed the value of the nobility in the school, everyone knows that such words arenât really formidable as a defense against the higher aristocratsâ influence.
[You started to get close with her? A teacher?] (I)
[Yeah. We talked about a lot of stuff, you know.
Cast-sensei actually graduated in the aristocratic school as a scholar. She said thatâs how she got her job.
But thatâs not all. Thereâs also the guy that she liked that actually wants to be a teacher too. So she pursued this job actually aiming for that chance to get close with him.
But lo and behold, the guy failed the examinations and went back to their territory with tears in his face. It was two years ago and Cast-sense qualified for the post.] (K)
[âŠOh, so you talk about things like that alreadyâŠ] (I)
[That said and done, sheâs now looking for a romantic interest. Doesnât it smell like a good opportunity, brother? Perhaps sheâll agree to go out with you if you ask right here, right now, you know?] (K)
[âŠI see⊠If I feel like it, then sureâŠ] (I)
The siblings are riding the carriage as they share such a conversation.
[Good morning, Kunon-kun, Ixio-sama.] (Milika)
Milika has been waiting once again for them at the school gates. But unlike the previous days, all three of them walk together heading towards the same place.
As Ixio had said, there are about twenty or so students in the classroom when they arrive.
[âJust introduce us to your fianceâ already, Milika-sama!]
[âIxio, man, when will you show us your brother?]
And out of the twenty, it appears that there are several people who are acquainted as well with both Milika and Ixio. Those same acquaintances right now are surrounding Kunon.
[I am Kunon Gurion. Younger brother of Ixio Gurion.] (K)
So Kunon introduced himself.
But it didnât end there.
[Now I can finally be at ease. You see, her highness Milika and my brother Ixio havenât introduced anyone until today so Iâm actually getting worried that theyâre actually loners and have no friends.] (K)
[H-hey, thatâs rude! Sure you can say that to me, but not to her highness!] (I)
[Right! I actually feel quite offended right now, you know!? I just asked everyone to give me space since I want to spend time with you, Kunon-kun!] (M)
[Hey, thatâs sweet. I appreciate it, your highness. But itâs true that I actually started to get worried. I mean, I canât just ask you things like âdonât you have friends?â or âdonât you know anyone else in this school?â out of the blue. Iâm not that insensitive, you knowâŠ] (K)
Kunon then covers his eyes with his hand. Over the eye patch, of course.
[Thank goodness⊠I feel so relieved now that I know her highness actually has friends⊠Thank goodness my brother isnât a loner and a school castawayâŠ]
[What a relief⊠That way, I donât have to comfort them⊠otherwise, Iâd shoot myself in the foot if Iâd tell them itâs alright even if they donât have friends. Goodness.]
It might have been subtle but Ixio and Milikaâs friends understood something from what Kunon had said.
Their hearts shook at the thought that the young boy speaks like he didnât have any friend by his side.
It squeezed their hearts.
Kunon was born without the ability to see and thus could only stay in their house. The boy wasnât even able to attend school and could only spend time by his lonesome.
They look at each other and realize that friends, people who they can share stories, laughter and tears together, is something that Kunon doesnât have.
Just as when the their hearts are about to break into piecesâ
[But Kunon-kun, you donât really mind having no friends at all, right? To the point that you donât even want to make one.]
Milikaâs stare at Kunon made them realize sheâs definitely serious about how she assessed the young boy.
And to betray their expectations, Kunon agreed without any hesitation.
[Thatâs true. Hahaha humans are fine living alone by themselves after all. Hahahaha]
[I know you so well. Fufufufufu~~]
Unexpectedly, their friends can only remain speechless.
But seeing how Milika and Kunon actually get along better than they imagined, they let it slip and smiled at the two of them sharing giggles.
As the group of friends could only look at the laughing couple with strange gazes, someone uninvitedly broke in to destroy the weird ambiance.
Itâs been two days since they met Lyle from the cafeteria.
It appears heâll be taking the graduation exam together with them.
At the appearance of the prince, a weird tension started to suffocate the whole atmosphere.
Except for Kunon, that is.
Lyle appears to not be practically liked around the school.
More accurately, he is hated.
Lyla has violent tendencies, a flamboyant attitude, and because of his royal lineage, he bears no consequence even if disrespected his senseis.
His presence annoys a lot of people in a lot of different ways.
There are also rumors around him that he takes on kids that have similar tendencies with him and do indescribably horrible things even with little children.
Lyle is a person that no one wants to befriend with⊠Butâ
He cut through everyone on the way and approached the classâ most hated existence and took his hand.
[Itâs nice meeting you, Brother in Law! Iâm Kunon Gurion, princess Milikaâs fiancĂ©! Itâs a good thing we met each other today! For some reason, I wasnât even able to greet you the other day!] (K)
[W-w-w-w-what the hell are you!?] (Lyle)
Lyle tries to recover his hand from Kunon, butâ
He canât shake off Kunonâs hand.
Despite Kunonâs petite stature at his young age of ten, he carries a lot of strength.
[Goodness gracious, itâs me, your future little brother! Oh my, you sound really dignified, onii-sama! I bet you look the same! If only I am not blind then I could stare at your face for a whole day! Fufufufu! Hahahaha!] (K)
[O-oi, Milika! Wh-what the hellâs up with this bastard!? Just what the hell is this guy!?] (L)
Lyle is actually flabbergasted.
Has there anyone else who acted this friendly with him from the first time they met? No.
[*Giggles*, Fufufufu⊠Fufu⊠Fufufuufufu~~]
[*Giggles* Kukuku⊠kekek~~]
[âD-damn it! W-w-w-what yâall laughing about!!!] (L)
The figure of the most feared and flamboyant kid in the school, blushing somehow and kind of embarrassed, struggling to free himself from Kunon but canât do so, somehow appears moe. The contrast was actually cute.
Thereâs also the fact that Lyle has a large build even for a twelve year old and could even literally look down at Kunon.
ââKunonâs really gotten stronger in a lot of different ways.â (I)
The ruckus ended peacefully and all of them took the exam. Kunon, Milika, Ixio, their group of friends, and unexpectedly, Lyle, passed the examinations along with everyone.
And that concludes the five short days of Kunonâs aristocratic school life.
First of all, I would like to apologize for not being able to issue chapters last couple of weeks as I was locked out of my WordPress account! And Christmas had me too busy to fix them T.T But no worries as I got the chapters drafted. Here are two chapters thatâs all edited! Thank you for waiting and merry Christmas!Oh, there will be two or three chapters tomorrow!  Iâll just have to edit them. HihiHereâs the image below with Kunonâs pose! Why do I need this image?
