Not all Orbis class graduates are involved in the revolution, but if Granatz Count is part of the revolution, he would be close to the core. The essence of the Gate incident is still unclear, and all relationships and beliefs have disappeared in the face of the crisis of humanity. The focus now is on rebuilding the world. The protagonist is unsure of what to do and is lost in thought. Granatz Count is seen walking in the garden and the protagonist opens the door to the annex. His laughter somehow seemed sad.

"Did you say Rheinhardt?"
"Yes, that's right."
"I've heard a lot about you."
As a troublemaker himself, Count Granatz seemed to have heard a lot of stories about me.
"If I asked you to talk about the temple, you'd probably get annoyed and throw a tantrum like my daughter, but you've probably heard enough about me."
"Oh, yes...."
Count Granatz slapped my shoulder, laughing.
Talking while hitting people.
Wasn't Rianna just like her father?
Rianna had apparently talked quite a bit about me to Count Granatz at the beginning of the semester, saying that there was a really strange guy at the temple. Of course, Rianna didn't seem to like talking to her father very much, so Count Granatz hadn't listened to my story with his ears nailed to it.
Mostly.
Focusing on incidents and accidents.
So.
I naturally broke out in a cold sweat.
Count Granatz.
Orbis class graduate.
Possible member of the revolutionary forces.
He might personally hold a grudge against me for being the trigger of the Orbis class closure incident.
"When I heard that you fought with an Orbis class senior, I didn't know, but I thought you were a giant."
Even if that wasn't the case, the guy who became the reason for the closure of my alma mater was right next to me.
But all I felt from Count Granatz's beaming smile was admiration for his bold daughter's friend.
Does he really have no thoughts about Orbis class, or is he just hiding his emotions?
"After that, what happened might have been a bit confusing. Rheinhardt."
He was actually quite straightforward about the incident.
"Yes... I didn't expect it to escalate to the point of a revolution..."
I had no idea that the incident of challenging someone to a duel would spread beyond the closure of the Orbis class to the acceleration of the revolutionary forces.
"What happened happened."
Count Granatz looked up at the winter night sky and said so.
He seemed to have known about the problems of the Orbis class for a long time.
Judging from his words, he seems to be unrelated to the revolutionary forces.
But on a sleepless winter night.
I don't know why he couldn't sleep, but there was no mistaking the deep regret and remorse in his expression.
As we talked and walked, I suddenly looked towards the mansion and couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
Someone was staring at me and Count Granatz.
An adult woman with her arms crossed, narrowing her eyes as if she didn't like something.
When her eyes met mine, she frowned even more and pulled the curtain shut.
Both Count Granatz and I saw that.
"Oh, um... my wife is a bit sensitive."
Countess?
Come to think of it, Rianna didn't introduce Count Granatz's wife as a matter of course, as if she didn't introduce Count Granatz's wife either.
Count Granatz apologized as if he felt sorry.
What's bothering her?
Or is it that Count Granatz doesn't go to bed late? However, in the expression of the Countess, who seemed full of nerves, there was not so much something unpleasant as something like... disgust and contempt. The atmosphere was completely different from when talking about Count Granatz. It was concluded that Countess Granatz was a person who was extremely sensitive to status. "Be careful and stay healthy as it's winter. Rianna seemed like she was about to get angry and ask why she needed to come out again, but she remembered what she told us yesterday and didn't say anything to Countess Granatz. Countess Granatz greeted each of us individually, complimenting Cliff on his magical abilities, Adelia on her skills, and Ellen on her eating habits. Ellen's response to being called "sir" by Count Granatz was met with amusement. The protagonist realizes that Ellen intentionally calls him that. They all walked back to the temple, and the protagonist pulled Heryet aside to ask what the Countess said during breakfast. Heryet refused to tell him, saying it was better if he didn't know. Heryet seemed to be avoiding Rianna's gaze and told the protagonist to come back to the magic research center when they returned."
