T/N: Today Id like to thank my repeat Cookie Donor, Daniel!! Thank you for the sweets~

Gilles, what do you think after reading this?

I can tell her heads full of nothing but rainbows and flowers, thats for sure.

Seems that way. And this topic! Of course shed choose something like this.

Methods to Improve the Conditions of the Impoverished Village.

After obtaining the essay, we headed off to Gilless room to carefully read it over. And after a single perusal, I can tell that it was extremely well-written. The theories are explained remarkably well, and her logic appears sound. Certainly, I can tell that this deserves a good grade. The only problem is. theres no way any of these methods could be put to practice.

She doesnt seem to know a thing about how the world really works.

When you add in the context, forget bothering with corrections, it would be easier to just rewrite it. If the grades for this were based off of realistically being able to follow the instructions, I would give her a 0.

And that leaves me with a huge dilemma. How am I supposed to correct a person who is this far off the mark?

Will we go visit Gramps today?

I dont think well have time. Its more important that we start brainstorming ways to guide Liz-san onto the right path, away from all this idealistic nonsense.

True. Weve really got our work cut out for us.

We read through her essay one more time.

Seriously, this is why I find the heroine so hard to deal with. If bettering the conditions of the impoverished village were this easy, then it would have been done already. There would be zero reason to keep pondering the subject.

Her assumptions are all just too far-fetched.

The backbone for this whole paper is operating under the assumption that human beings are fundamentally good creatures. So all of her theories are based on the fact that humans dont move due to their own desires and greed, but rather with the purpose of bettering mankind.

She really is the complete opposite of me.

Its certainly a novel idea that deserves thought in passing, but to think that it can be put into practice is way too naive.

It looks like tomorrow Im going to have to show her just how terrible a person can be.

Yeah, I dont think theres any other way.

We both nod our heads in agreement.

The battle is about to start for real. Its finally happening.

I steel myself, bringing all of my wits and emotions into order, and then I start off to find Liz-san. Since todays the academys tea party day, she should probably be in the rose garden at this time.

Isnt this academy a bit too extravagant? Gilles remarks, glaring at the entrance to the rose garden.

Yeah, probably.

And just how much does it cost to maintain all of these roses?

I have no idea. Too much, Im sure. Honestly, what I want to know is why an institution whose sole purpose should be education needs to have a whole day dedicated to tea parties anyway? I tell him, a bit exasperated. But anyway, lets just head in.

We walk into the rose garden side-by-side.

From here on out, my goal is to completely ruin this little party. I feel a bit apologetic to everyone here who are currently enjoying themselves, but this is something I have to do in order to spread my notoriety. I mean, in order to correct Liz-sans way of thinking.

The moment we enter the garden, everyones eyes are all drawn our way.

Ali, Albert-Oniisama says, walking over to me.

Im sorry, Oniisama. I dont have the time to chat with you.

Completely ignoring his greeting, I walk right past him. And even without turning back, I can tell that his posture has become rigid.

Of course it would. Ignoring him like that is not only rude but probably hurtful as well, but I dont have a choice. Liz-san has to remain my top priority right now.

Without sparing Albert-Oniisama a second glance, I walk straight towards her. As usual, all the typical members are present as well. The heroine truly does have a propensity for surrounding herself with knights in shining armor.

Duke-Sama is looking my way as if he can see right through me.

I wish he wouldnt look at me like that. Its like he knows exactly what Im planning to do.

Alicia-cha

Liz-san, Ill get right to the point. Do you really think that everyone is created equal? I ask, cutting her off.

T/N: Oh, Alicia. Did you forget that networking is also an important skill for the nobility to have? I know youd like to rule the world based purely off of meritocracy, but unfortunately thats not how things work. Looks like you still have some naivety left as well XD

Also, I know. This was another shorter chapter But next chapter will make up for it. Its like twice as long as usual!!
