Charlotte made a shrill noise, but quickly turned her gleaming gaze of respect to Harvey.

It's ...... amazing that you're the president of such a big school!

"Oh, no, not so much.

Harvey responded with a smile, but Charlotte nodded her head.

But why don't you like it, Mr. Allen?　It's a great job, I think. ......

"Well, I agree with you.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. If you are the head of the academy, it is an honorable position that will go down in history. I don't see any reason to reject you.

"It's simple. Titles come with strings attached, don't they? I don't want to be bound by it.

Allen said bluntly.

The number of students in the school is no less than one thousand, and if you include the faculty, staff, and outside collaborators, the number of members is quite large.

When you are the head of such an organization, you are bound by many ties, large and small. Politics and bellyaching may be possible, but they do not suit me.

That's why Allen turned down the position.

When I explained this, Harvey's smile deepened.

There's no need to jump to conclusions. All you have to do is train as my secretary for a while, and round up the professors while you're at it. I'll do my best, and I'll take care of the fire as best I can.

With that, Harvey leaned forward and extended his right hand to Allen. He looked at Allen straight in the eyes, and there was a hint of compassion in them.

With the same look in his eyes as when he announced that he would bring the young Allen home, he said.

You, my son, are the only one who can succeed me. Even if we are not related by blood, I can tell you that clearly.

How dare you talk so much sense?

Allen swiped his right hand away. He then stood up and pointed his index finger at his foster father.

I know what you're up to!　The real reason he wants to force me to be his heir...

Just when I was about to continue.

The parlor door opens.

"Hello?

Then a girl with a teapot and cup on a tray came out of the room.

Her fluffy peach-colored hair was decorated with ribbons, and the dress she was wearing was also decorated with ribbons and lace.

At first glance, she looked like a girl in her mid-teens, as fluffy as candy. She brings a large tray to the table, catches Charlotte's eye, and smiles softly.

She brought a large tray to the table. You must be tired after your long journey, please take your time.

"Yes, sir. Thank you.

Charlotte bowed her head with a hovering smile.

Harvey smiled at the girl as she prepared the tea with great finesse.

"Thank you, Liz. Do you want me to help you?

I'm fine. It's been a long time since I've had this many guests, so I'm really excited. Here you go. I baked some cookies that even demons can eat, so please eat them too, Fenrir-chan.

"Yay!　I'll have a bite!

The girl pats Lu's head, wagging her tail, and sits down next to Harvey.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

You are by any chance Mr. Allen's sister?　Nice to meet you. My name is Charlotte.

I'm Charlotte." "Oh my God, I'm so happy you're my sister. Thank you for your kindness. I'm, uh, Lise...

No, Charlotte. She's not my sister, she's my aunt.

As soon as he was about to say the word, a sharp wind tore right across Allen's face.

As soon as he was about to say the word, a sharp wind blew across his face. A wall made of a magical material that is impervious to the slightest bit of magic.

If you slowly turn your head back, the girl will put her hand on your cheek and smile softly.

I've been away for three years. Just because it's been three years, you've forgotten how to call me?　I've been away for three years and you've forgotten how to call me?

"...... Excuse me, Mother.

"You're my mother?

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

Lu and Goussetsu also rolled their eyes as they munched on their cookies.

Satisfied with their reaction, the girl cheerfully said her name.

I'm Lieselotte Crawford. Nice to meet you.

And this is my wife.

Harvey hugged the shoulder of his wife, who only looked like a girl, and smiled and made a peace with her.

Like his adoptive father, his adoptive mother hadn't shown any signs of aging since Allen had met her.

It's no wonder he's been called "the crazy couple" and "a walking violation of the law" in the shadows.

Anyway, this was the very reason why Harvey wanted Allen to succeed him.

I'm sure the real reason your uncle wants to force me to take the position is so that he can flirt with your aunt ...... all the time!　I'm not going to give up my position to my son for such a silly motive!　You're a fool, aren't you?

What do you mean, "stupid"?　What is trivial!

I'm not sure what you're talking about.
