Returning from the background, you must point out that Vivi has made the conscious effort to take the back-row of each lecture hall, placing herself in the left-most corner with you standing beside her. Sure, you don't get in the way, but the problem lies in that she's doing this in every class. She's adamant about it as well, and her being the superior partner of your master-servant relationship, you have no other choice but to let her. In times like these, Vivi's stubbornness can obstruct your reasoning.

Class itself is a unique experience for your master, as it isn't private for once. This being the first day of Archenwald's first-years, most teachers spend most of their time explaining the subject that they teach; basic stuff, just like the opening ceremony. Most of the initial hours of 'school' was unremarkable, lunch soon arriving-- a considered mercy for Vivi to spare her from such boredom.

"Aaah! Everything's insufferable!," complained your drill-haired mistress. "Ms.Menazoir was at least entertaining, I can't stand sitting in a seat for thirty-five minutes."

> "Ms.Menazoir chased you around with a whip when you failed to act like a proper woman, and I see that you haven't learned. Want me to ring her up?"
> "Physical education might satiate you. The instructors will let you play around in the field since you won't be taking the physical exam till later into the week, and it's your last class of the day."

Food! Also Saul forcing her into more social interaction! (Can we speak to a different character at lunch?)

Surprised Caren wasn't the commoner (or is she... just how real is her very small barony???... jk jk) but a minor noble is a good first friend for Vivi to make anyhow, so not too fussed.

Man half of those npcs looked interesting, especially edgelord magic viscount and silver haired kid. So was the commoner the second year girl then?

Response from last thread
>3139155
Torture isn't hunting. What get her kicks is to inflict suffering, not to fight.
It's not the same thing. Not at all.

Not to mention that whether rifles aren't as "overpowered" is rather irrelevant to the fact that it's a weapon that kill from afar, not a contact one.

She won't get an ounce of respect from cutting little bits of a monster and skinning it alive after having immobilized it. If anything, it will just creep people out power 10, not to mention all the risks involved.

It's just an all around horrible idea.

too.

>>3139536
Well, the rumors said that she just joined so she couldn't be a second year.
Maybe she just wasn't included in our choices?

>>3139652
I mean the description said she only LOOKED like a second year, not that she actually was.

If we do get more time to socialise at lunch we should try to sit with second year anyway - Vivi needs at least 2 acquaintances (because she literally has no one to hang out with if Caren is otherwise occupied), and apart from second year our other options are

>Princes
... yeah Vivi does not have to charisma points to get through a convo with them, and fucking up is social suicide.

>Popular girl
Avoid for same reason as Princes.

>Magic Viscount
He and Vivi may have common ground, but I'd say treat with caution because he's got a rep for being manipulative. He might unerve Vivi too much.

>Silver Kid
.... Think this is Charles? He might also be a good person to sit with, but again I'm worried about the social consequences if the convo he has with Vivi turns into a dumpster fire. But he's probably my second choice if second year isn't around.

>>3139655
under that logic she shouldn't approach anyone because she has the social skills of a newborn.

>>3139650
who said anything about hunting with rifles? vivi will obviously choose the traditional methods. Snares, traps, and hunting the beast with your bare hands and holding a mouth between your mouth.

Hunting inflicts a boatload of suffering on the animal if the person wants to be sadistic.
Cecil the lion got shot and was forced to limp around slowly dying in extreme pain for hours rather than the dude finishing him off. That doesn't sound like the boom headshot version of hunting that I'm guessing is in your mind. Sure modern hunters theoretically try to reduce pain simply because it's safer and adrenaline spoils meat, but there is a massive amount of room for sadism when alone in the woods with no witnesses.
Bullfights are pretty damn bloody.
You have this strange image of hunting where the target always dies painlessly instead of in terror or rage at being slaughtered.
Now if she's dumb enough to skin it alive while people watch, I suppose that's one thing, but slowly killing some beast threatening the local populace like a matador mostly has the fact that she'd be seen as a tomboy as the downside which is rather low on the lists of downsides to ways people could view her personality.

> "Ms.Menazoir chased you around with a whip when you failed to act like a proper woman, and I see that you haven't learned. Want me to ring her up?" "Perhaps she can succeed where others have failed?"

>>3139777
Again, you seem to miss the point that she get off from inflicting pain, not just witnessing it.
Sure a botched shoot will leave an animal suffering for hours before it die but that's still not what she's into.
She isn't interested in just shooting something, stalking and then stabbing it until it dies once it has become tired enough.

Her desire is getting all touchey, observing the reactions of her victims as she slowly and deliberately torture them, removing bits of their limbs and innards while they cry and roar and suffer, that's the whole point she has that whole knife panoply in the first place.

Hunting won't provide her with much of that unless she can get all alone with her prey and monsters that can actually fight back and are a possible threat aren't something we want to allow her to "play with" for obvious reasons.

Again, it's a bad idea.

>>3139523
>"Physical education might satiate you. The instructors will let you play around in the field since you won't be taking the physical exam till later into the week, and it's your last class of the day."

Thats because you think she will hunt with a gun and thats your mistake.

>>3139777
This isnt a bad idea. Maybe she can be a bullfighter

>>3139804
How else do you hunt? With bow and arrows? Crossbow and bolts? Magic?
I mean, she's a noble so some "chasse à courre" is probably what would be the most respected form of hunting and the one that club is the most likely to practice but you're getting even further of your original goal.

Let's be real, she's a pampered aristocratic lady, she isn't going to grab a boar spear and charge at fucking monsters.

>>3139820

You just sit there and watch how she does that exact thing.

And >>3139849 is right; we'd be right behind her with the proper equipment to put the beast down(and patch up vivi) if something goes wrong.

>>3139820
I did initially say it's a long term goal specifically because she'd need extensive training to properly do it. The motivation for her is easily there since it would let her semi publicly be able to engage in her urges. It would be at least a little easier for her attention to not wander off like usual. because of this. The key thing is to not immediately jump into things and get her hurt. We're going in a bit blind here since we (the players) don't know enough about the local culture to say what would and wouldn't be an appropriate path to this goal. Dress it up in a bunch of flowery or romantic language about the triumph of man vs beast and all of that. We might even be able to fidangle some sort of lion/manticore pet to show that she has respect for the majesty of nature (like a true hunter) since the family is well off enough to afford the meals that she's lovingly stripped of skin organs and bone for her pet.

>>3139820
We're in a fantasy universe. it is entirely plausible that various forms of magic enhancements exist to make melee combat somewhat efficient (compared to usual) and not 100% tossed aside in favor of a gun at least some of the time. Maybe magically enhanced bullet technology hasn't been figured out yet since the gunpowder/etc explosion wrecks any attempt to imbue elements/spells into the bullets?

Vivi quiets down, proving your presumptions true with the cost of your mistress' defeated grin. "... N-Not that it's important! I'm a good girl anyways!" Folding her hands and posing like a helpless maiden, she then continues, "I'm a good girl, right, Saul~? An angel~?"

Vivi puffs out a cheek, "Devils can be nice."

Begrudgingly, Vivi went through the last half-hour of a class, her eyes turning dead until lunch, to which they lit up with life in an effort to escape. Just when she was about to choose the same table that she sat at this morning, you suggested that the both of you should return to Caren's. Vivi was relunctant at first, but mulling over it eventually led her to do so, waiting at the baronetess' assumed spot for a while. She seemed to be running late.

Telling Vivi that Caren is probably running late or is just busy, you lead her to another table, in particular, the one with the silver haired boy. She groans, but follows through in the end, taking a seat across from the person.

As always, you make the first move so your master can transition in more smoothly. "Greetings, is it alright if my mistress sits here?"

The boy looks up to you, picking his head up like child, as he does look like one. He smiles brilliantly, "No, I'm fine with it. May I know who you are?"

"I am Vivi D'Roix's personal butler, Solomon, but you can refer to me as Saul."

His eyes light up in wonder, "Really? You mean that family?" now looking towards Vivi.

Your master shakes her head in comfirmation, urged to answer, "Y-Yeah."

"Oh, right, I forgot," the boy says, remembering to state himself as well. "I'm Charles Lorensol, you most likely know that my father's Marquess Fernand Lorensol, the Prime Minister."

Vivi whispers to you in secret, comedic in the opposite perspective's view, "H-He's sixteen, yes?"

"Charles' is a sickly fellow, that's probably why," you whisper back.

"Is something wrong?" then asked the boy in question, innocently so, much more genuine than how your master acted back then.

"Er-- Nothing, I was just wondering why you look s-so... huggable," replied Vivi. You notice how her eyes scan Charles, one with a very, very familiar manner. A predator's.

Charles laughs, "Hehe, I get that a lot. It's kinda difficult to how small I am sometimes. I need to rely on taller people for cabinets and stuff."

You make a mental note to scold Vivi later, "How does your day fare, Master Charles?"

"Hm, it's been alright so far. Nothing too spectacular. But I want to know about you, Miss D'Roix."

"M-Me?"

"Nnn~! I have only heard of your family's history from father, and I wanted to know if you're inheriting the role and title."

"Why yes," staggering in speech and posture, "I am the sole daughter of my household."

"Is that so? I suppose that a princess-like executioner is unique, if not fantastical. You know how rare it is for a daughter to be the main head."

"G-Guess I'm lucky, haha."

"But, doesn't it bother you that you're becoming one?"

Vivi, as if on queue, hints to you for guidance.

You have only a smug grin to give her, directing your master to speak for herself in this situation.

"...Um, no, I don't have a problem with it. I actually like to be one soon," Vivi says, resuming the conversation back to its rigid flow.

"That's good to hear. Taking on a hereditary role makes a lot of sons and daughters dissatisfied, so it's promising when one is excited rather than disdainful. There's also the indifferent, but being indifferent doesn't make for a topic."

For a moment, the table was absent of talk, the two eating their meals in silence. Eventually, Vivi spoke up again, this time with a strange request. "M-May I feel you for a bit?"

Charles tilts his head in puzzlement, but seeing nothing wrong, he lets her. "Hey, that tickles, I'm still a grown-up, even if I look like a child."

A second time does Vivi whisper to you, "H-His hair and skin is soft-- purely delicious and white. W-Would it be possible to kidnap him? He would definitely fit inside a moderately sized sack."

...Also if this is us PASSING the dice count, I shudder to think what would have happened if we failed.

>>3140664
Let's be honest, it's totally going to end up like that.
The only thing we need to ensure is that she limit herself to poor peoples rather than try and target the ducal shota like she is right now.

>>3140836
Thats why we must teach her to hunt and that hunting humans is boring. We as a group might be the apex predator, but alone are very weak.

>>3140836
Sure we should make sure she mainly sticks to the peasants in the future, but the fact that ducal shota is pinging so hard on her radar shows that our mistress has absolute patrician tier taste.

We should let her have a taste of what its like to own him by ensaring him in the guise of FRIENDSHIP.

We should let her indulge in her pleasures with something after this to please her.

>>3140866
I concur wholeheartedly anon. The ducal shota shall now be our number one target.

>>3140852
Still a bad idea, still not going to work.
Who cares if beggars and other poor people start to go missing? Certainly not the nobility.

>>3140890
Because she wont stop at beggars. In the same manner that critters and small game ended up being dead horses eventually poor people will get boring for vivi and she will move up on the social ladder, and when that happens it will be too late because we will also be on the list.

Its the best for everyone involved that vivi doesn't get to kill people, otherwise shit is going down.

>>3140935
Anon, you're aware I hope that she's the heir of a family of executioner and that she will inherit the title and responsibility sooner than later, right?
There literally is no way to "stop her from killing humans" because it's gonna be her god damn job.

>we will be on the list
No we won't. Co-dependence is a Hell of a drug and changing of dealer isn't really an option.

She probably will move to middle class after some years and maybe one or two disgraced nobles but her job will give her plenty of opportunity to get both "legally".

It's gonna be alright, she isn't going to be the first torturer that love her work too much and she certainly isn't going to be the last.

>>3140699
Suspicions about her either having massive spaghetti or doing this on purpose are rising. Theoretically everything about her other than her hobby is supposed to be relatively normal.(or so I thought)

>>3140935
And seriously. Don't let her advance to people. Anything else can make her weird or creepy, she could get stuck in a dusty old castle tower,they could even still let here pop out a baby and let the inheritance skip a generation, but the second she starts with random humans there is no saving her from whatever mess happens if/when she gets caught and her father might be the one forced to do the execution depending upon just how much her choosing a certain target pissed everyone important off.
Even killing peasants has a limit for nobility and little miss can barely stand one day of waiting so far.
>>3140967
That only works if she can wait until it's time for her job. She has poor impulse control or at least little desire to control them once she has them..

>>3140967
On thing is to kill for a job and the other is to kill humans for sport or fun. Also, we are not supposed to encourage her antics and like you said, co dependence is a hell of a drug and we are her dealer; we can redirect her urges.

Like it has been said before, being an executioner isnt a well regarded position and the slightest gossip can fuck us over. So why give the people more ammo to hate us when there are other, safer alternatives?

>>3140983
To be fair, Vivi has been shown to have a penchant for shiny white things - as seen in her reaction to Sally (bird). Probably because she wants to Mar their untarnished imagine by spilling their blood, knowing her.

Charles is probably pushing all her buttons by being 1)small, 2)innocent 3)having silvery hair - she was able to keep it together pretty well when speaking to Caren.

>>3140992
We can curb and redirect her urges to some extent but we can't change them.
Hunting isn't going to be enough because it won't fulfill her desire to torture and inflict pain. It's just not the same thing.
At all.

Moreover, one thing you all guys seem to be forgetting is that co-dependence is, as the name suggest, a two way street.
Our Saul is not going to kidnap the prime minister's son because he know the consequences of it for Vivi, not because of any moral qualm.
He's been raised with her, if not to some extent BY her. He's gutter scum with no family left nor goal apart from serving his mistress. From capturing live animals to assisting her in her "playing", obeying order while putting his moral aside (if he has even managed to develop one in that context) is all he has known all his life.

At this point, he's definetely as fucked up and broken as Vivi, just in a different fashion from her.


If she ask him to kidnap, restrain or kill a person, he's going to do it with no further reflection than "will this have consequences for my Lady?". He probably won't take any particular pleasure at it, but he will do it without a second thought or shred of pity.

Trying to have Saul actively set as a goal to stop her from ever targeting humans just make no sense with that in mind.
Hell, I think even her parents are resigned to the fact that it's going to happen one day.

>>3141038
You are... rather wrong on saul though. In all the time we have played as him we haven't shown any of the things you said saul should have. If anything we just have grown jaded to her antics because all the time we pass with her. Yes, we are broken, but not in the way you say.


>Hunting isn't going to be enough because it won't fulfill her desire to torture and inflict pain.
Thats because you are thinking vivi will hunt with guns. She definitely won't do that because -like you said- its boring. She will grab that boar spear and will get close and personal with the terrorized tiger that she has been slowly but surely killing and we will be right behind her with a hunting shotgun and a first aid kit.

>>3141061
Am I? I don't think so, no. We've been with her for a very, very long time so our acting jaded to her antics is a given but so far we've only seen her "daily life" and nothing more.
She has yet to actually start torturing shit or demanding anything from us but since we felt compelled to go and capture some wild animal for her (even if we got her to keep it alive for the time being) it's pretty telling how accustomed we are to it.

Saul is definitely in the image of his mistress, just in a different way.


Everyone got what you meant by hunting but it's still dumb and it's still not the same thing.
It's not because two activities involve causing pain or killing something that they're in any way equatable.

I think that while firstly Saul is Vivi's servant secondly he is her friend may be her only friend & trying to dodge all of her attempts to kill something doesn't seem right.

>>3141101
I'm not saying that she shouldn't kill, i'm saying that she shouldnt kill people because that bring problems like being killed by our dear dad's blade.

>>3141100
>She has yet to actually start torturing shit or demanding anything from us but since we felt compelled to go and capture some wild animal for her [...] it's pretty telling how accustomed we are to it.

Well no shit, we have been doing the same song and dance for more than 10 years, we obviously are used to it. But we made a promise to her dad that we would do our best to keep her under control, and that includes trying to temper her urges.

>>3141100
I never especially saw us as codependent in such a way. It really just feels like you are seeing an entirely different imagine of what is going on (which you are perfectly entitled to do) but please be aware that your imagination seems to vastly differ from at least 2~ anons which is a decent analogy for vivi vs everyone else.
We are the unfortunate butler, not the revelling in our mistresses naked bloodbaths butler. The killing isn't something we enjoy. We simply nut up and do it because we are PROFESSIONAL.

>>3141128
>we are PROFESSIONAL
This. Also when the alternative is to return to the slums, well, the choice is rather simple. KILL THE CUTE CRITTER.

"Of course, lets kidnap the son of the Prime Minister. What's the worst that can happen?" you susurrate, looking at her with a deadpan face with all of the characteristics of a blank, clean plate, "...Though I admit, he would've looked absolutely striking if placed next to your Sally, Mistress, with that alabaster hair." Your voice then returns to a normal level, now talking directly to Charles who was watching the image, interpreted as a cartoonish scene of a master and servant, "From which side of the family did you inherit it from, Master Charles? Your hair color."

"My hair?" he repeated, "I got it from my mother, however, hers is more white than silver. Where do you come from yourself, Solomon? Your hair is that of soot and coal, darkly-grey-- not to mention, longer than the average teenager. That is if you're willing to tell," shaking his hands apologetically, "I wouldn't want to pry into personal information."

I never said we enjoy our mistress' bloodbath, in contrary I agree with you that we probably find it displeasing but we will continue bringing her more toys to play with without a second thought or moral qualm because that is our job indeed.
We're here to obey our mistress' order and that's what we will do.

I find the whole "Let's try and change the sociopath, we tots can stop her from killing!" shtick as doomed to fail as it is annoying, that's all, not to mention how much it takes away from every character involved.

Sadist. A sociopath would be perfectly capable of manipulating people and not be a social mess like vivi is.

>shtick as doomed to fail as it is annoying, that's all, not to mention how much it takes away from every character involved.
Its our job to make her grow in the right ways if she wants to have the position of royal executioner. We promised it to her and her dad basically treathened us to keep her reputation as good as posible.

>>3141173
Again. You're forgetting the unfortunate part of the quest. Curbing her tendencies as best as possible while in school is part of our orders and we are carrying out those orders under the threat of death.
She's also not a sociopath, she's a sadist. Sociopaths fit in with society much more easily. Quite a normal overly doted and sheltered child otherwise.

If you wish for us to go right along with your ideal of encouraging her we will shortly be visited upon via axe or sword from her father according to the very premise of the first few posts.

"I have no recollection of my parents, and only lived in a orphanage until my mistress kidna-- er, took me in."

"That's nice! You must be very, very nice, Miss D'Roix!" Charles complimented, seeing Vivi as an unfounded saint.

"Kehaha, I really am the greatest~" your masters says in response, gleaming with a frequent confidence.

The remainder of lunch was spent with Vivi talking to Charles, constantly being monitored by you as she picked up a dangerous interest to the young Marquess. Unfortunately, the boy himself is ignorant to the fact with as much suspicion as a goldfish. Soon, he gave his farewells first when the time called for both of their leave, and to your master's dismay, she followed suit to his example.

On your way to the next class - Charles absent from the both of you - Caren suddenly showed up, meeting mid-way inside a facility's corridor. She prayed forgiveness for leaving Vivi waiting, underestimating how much time she had for other unspecified businesses. Your master was alright with it, and for you, grateful that she clarified herself. And with that out of the way, she rushed to where she is suppose to be. Your evaluation of her has changed from modest, to modest and slightly air-headed; you thought that she would be the commoner that most people are talking about, unless, they mistaken a baronetess as a commoner.

>(1/2)

As seen by earlier whereabouts, the next set of classes before physical education were just introductions, "The incessant blabbering of people who think they're smarter than me," in Vivi's case. Being familiar with this noble daughter - as you were practically raised by her - you find that statement less than likely. But what she lacks in properness and other crucially fine elements of a lady, she makes up in astronomically brutal strength. If she were serious, she could pin your down despite her shorter stature.

Her strength wasn't put to use in her last class sadly, and instead, occupied herself by sitting in a shade made by her parasol. It wasn't awfully hot at the time, more so cooler than the average day of northern Francheur.

"Saul, how do I look?" she asked, pulling the waistband of her gym shorts and letting it go with a snap; the woman's locker room wasn't as welcoming as you hoped to be, Vivi dragging you inside because who else is going to dress her. "It's nice for the academy to supply their students with appropriate clothing, but it's kinda tight, especially at the thighs and chest."

I wonder if these anons are realizing that they are being the catalyst for all future Vivi bullying? We can't pin it on the obvious villainess now.

>>3141589
Saucy banter is not the same thing as bullying anon, besides, chances are if any actual bullying did occur it would come from someone else who would probably be "disappeared" shortly thereafter. Considering the length of time Saul has known Vivi I doubt she'd take a bit of ribbing too harshly, we're her pillar after all.

>>3141675
You think teasing her about her flat chest in public (probably the actual girls locker room too) isn't going to kickstart bullying? You just chummed up the waters for bullying not only due to teasing her about her chest, but because even her servant is fine with sexually harassing her.
Vivi is doing a halfway decent job while we're doing the massive screwups that will follow her for the rest of her time at the academy.

"Dare I say it? That you've actually graduated from being flat?"

Vivi shrugs, "I have yet to gain a nice pair, but it's good to see that drinking my milk has paid off-- even if I'm still considered a washboard."

"Drinking milk doesn't promote breast growth, do you perhaps still believe in that?"

"Fufu~ Silly, silly, it only appears that way because it's a slow process! We'll see progress in a few more years, just you wait."

"I'm happy that you are confident about the matter, but you might find disappointment instead, My Mistress."

"Hmph, in time, you'll come to know that I am irresistible. A second blessing to be!"

You raise a brow, doubtful, "What was the first one?"

"Serving the gracious me of course! A blood countess into a blood goddess~"

"Don't get too ahead of yourself."

Vivi's antics can be fun to enjoy from time to time, as her person is always one to border intimacy without really crossing it. In other words, she loves to talk about it, but never getting her hands dirty with it no matter how unpure her eyes or tongue are. While others of the same class would get uncomfortable upon entering those type of conversations, you have grown desensitized to it, growing into a sort of outlet that was made for your master to engage with such topics. It's certainly preferable to anything else that she does for 'fun'.

Admittedly, when a man if faced with such - or more specifically you, the only man that she has been around for the longest time, with her father being a significantly close second - you can't help but imagine her implications and suggestive details. Natural, it is only so, however, never wild as you fish your head from the depths of imagination all too easily.

Support. Also having the opportunity to wander the campus will let Saul pick up more gossip -maybe he'll overhear some rumours about who the hell the Commoner even is, or run into Princes / Charles again.

Also I still say there's something off about Caren - Saul should research her Barony as soon as possible

Hope we manage to drag Vivi out for dinner instead of having it in her room, purely because it'll be a last ditch attempt to figure out what's the deal with brown haired second year. The identities of the remaining NPCs are pretty easy to figure out - Princes, that stuck up Countess whose name begins with a C, the magic count, but she's still mystery.

Hey QM, if we don't get another socialization option, mind spoiler tagging who the hell the second year girl is?

>>3141779
Supporting.

>>3141890
If we do drag Vivi to dinner, maybe we can try to get both Caren and Vivi to sit with the second year girl? Having friends who are in separate spheres from each other will be annoying in the long run. Best to foster a giant group friendship in these early days.

>>3141898
>giant group friendship
The way to go - will certainly mean we need to spend less actions socialising each friend individually.

...Also gonna have to retract my comments on finding out the second year's identity at all cost - we've rolled the dice, looking for Charles and Commoner, and ended up with Charles and a minor noble instead.

Now we gotta gently urge Vivi carry on forming a friendship with them - with Charles as the priority, since befriending him means we're gonna meeting the princes sooner rather than later. Also because Charles is an absolute cutie

In the distance is Caren's figure, wearing the same type of clothes of that of your master. "Only if your surprise is worth it," Vivi says, leaving to join the baronetess. "I'll make my own way to the dormitory once this class ends, should be okay."

"Oh yes-- What about dressing yourself?"

"It'll be fine, Saul. I'm not that helpless without you," Vivi assured with her signature smile. With that, she finally took off, leaving you free until she arrives at her lodging.

After departing from the academy's sprawling field, you went to catch some critters first, although, indecisive whether for Vivi to kill them or not. Only just a few mice that could fit in your palm, stuffed inside your chest pocket to which they obediently stayed. A couple of times did you retreat to the sidelines, checking upon Vivi whose being was alright in every sequential glance, running a few laps at high speed with nothing but a bead of sweat. Caren, unexpectedly enough, could keep up with your master-- goes to show how horrifying women can be, more so teenagers.

You didn't plan out much of what you were going to do after leaving Vivi's side, eventually leading you to wandering the campus mindlessly. Nonetheless, you have some ideas.

Information was harder to come by in comparison to last night, but you still picked up on some gossip in-between rooms.

*The commoner's identity was actually that girl you previously made eye contact with. Her appearance can be misunderstood, often seen as a second-year, or even a third-year.
- She lives on the upper-most floor of the dormitory, however, you have yet to know her apartment's number.
- Origins are unknown, personal information are only limited to her age and appearance. Says to be sixteen, but is more likely one or two years older than that. Amber-colored eyes, a beauty mark on her neck, voluptuous body, and black hair that's similar to yours. Overall 'bewitching'.
- Proofless rumors say that she's also talented in magic, or more specifically a certain type. Has yet to make contact with the viscount.
- Spends most of her time at the library that you're nearing right now, mostly sleeping there. Doesn't show concern about skipping classes.
- The black magic club has made numerous attempts to recruit her. Unsuccessful so far.

*There seemed to be a ghost sighting last night, some sort of phantom wandering the dormitory's floors. Activity ceased upon nine-o'clock.

*The alchemy club is attempting to create a philosopher's stone as a year-project. Unsuccessful so far.

*A blacksmithy was opened for a new club, built behind the back gate of the academy's walls.

*The academy has allowed access to the forest outside as it's small.

*A certain member of the Canadol religion youth, otherwise known as the Canadol club, has made a name for herself through excessive zeal. Although, this zeal is often seen as comical, the girl getting herself into some hijinks with the black magic club. Has been seen sulking today because of it.

*You came across a girl playing in the academy's garden, talking to a doll as if it was human. She didn't notice your presence as far as you know, thought you should keep a note on that.

Your opinion on nobles are slowly becoming messy. Reminds you of the upper-class of Sdovnia in the east before the Red Revolution became a thing. Their previous emperor's son has return order since then when he was reinstated.

Blacksmithing sounds interesting, maybe something for Saul to do when not around Vivi

>>3142855

The commoner is definitely not a Shoujo protag and seem to be even more anti-social than our mistress so there is really no need to try and bother befriending her, we're a mere servant so finding Charles on our own is essentially out of question, being associated with a girl who speak to her doll is probably just going to tank Vivi's reputation even further.

Out of all the choices, befriending !notFarnese is probably the least worst choice as zealots tend to not mind much about how much their witch-hunters love their job.
So
>Try to find that zealous girl
for now unless there is a good write-in.

>>3142855
>Find the commoner
>See if we can convince her to tutor Saul and Vivi in magic every so often

The first step to this is convincing her to eat dinner with us + Vivi tonight.

I do want to get Saul's magical skills up, but we're not gonna have much time to do that if we're running after Vivi all the time. Getting a magic(?) user we can leech techinques off of into Vivi's potential friend group would be better.

The fact that Saul is a magic user + a commoner means that he has a lot of common ground with her that he can use to his advantage during their encounter.

...We can sell it to Vivi by saying learing spellwork is opening the doors for more exotic torture techniques in the future.

As much as I like Charles, we want him and Vivi to become friends. Also it'll look a bit weird for a mere Butler to be chatting to the Prime Minister's son without his mistress present.

>>3142901
>The commoner is definitely not a Shoujo protag
Dude, she's a alluring, aloof, bookish beauty who hails from a completely different world from most noble boys at the academy (making her a breath of fresh air to them if) and would rather hole herself up with her books than deal with pesky socialization and the flipperies than come with it.

That's a ripe set up for some noble boy to stumble into her library sanctuary and lose his heart to her the moment their eyes meet - and thus spending the rest of the year trying to woo her despite all the odds and obstacles that will crop up in the path of true love. If that someone is a Prince then the romance novel writes itself.

Also I really wanna fuck those black magic club weirdos over by poaching their star prospect.

>>3142901
She's the sole commoner in a school for nobles who prefers to spend all her time in the library.
She's a magical (and prettier) version of Haruhi from Ouran.
Saul's gonna be the 8million yen vase that serves to catapault her into the orbit of some eligible noble.
...Actually Vivi + Saul's dynamic are pretty much like Nekozawa and his Beelzenef. Caren can be Renge if Commoner does fall into our budding friend group.

>>3142956
I'm sorry anon but I've literally no idea who're you talking about.

>>3142941
Given her three most defining traits so far appears to be "smart", "a bit of a cunt" and "silent" she looks more like your average shonen love interest than a shoujo heroine but well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We should take into account Vivi's feelings a bit more. Push her too hard on getting friends she may not want and she might explode. She's a teenager. She's hardwired to be rebellious right now and we're controlling her life a bit much.

(With shitty spanish subs because fuck finding a better one this late)

Pretty famous shoujo manga where MC is a poor commoner who gets manages to get a scholarship to a fancy school for the rich and elite by acing the entrance exam (everyone else buys their way in). Initially she spends all her time studying in the library until plot stuff happens (mainly involving the breaking of a 8 billion yen vase) and she's forced into the company of some of the most attractive men in the school. Naturally she eventually winds up with the blonde princely character after a bunch of romantic hijinks.

Said MC also starts off super aloof and snarky before mellowing out considerably over time - now look at Commoner and see if you find any resemblences.

>>3143015
That's why we keep her well supplied with all the forest critters she needs to sate her bloodlust. No more sparing the fluffy things like we did Sally.

Also one of the reasons she's attending this school is to make her into a well rounded noble, and socialising is a part of that, no matter how much Vivi hates it.

Best bite the bullet now and ease her into making new aquaintances now, when the school year is young and cliques haven't fully formed yet and people are more open to meeting their peers, than trying to force her to interact with established groups later on in the year with her sub par social skills.

Luckily, you're already on your way towards the library that this commoner is said to mostly find herself in. You might as well check some of the books that they have as well, and maybe pick up a club registry there; you'll still have to find that club list in the academy's main office for an extra measure, the one that Caren told you about.

Upon entering inside the library, the scent of archaic books hits you with full force, fully authentic and familiar. There's not many people here when class is still in session, a few other students here and there along with a librarian, an old man that is nodding off to the silence. The whole place is bigger than you imagined, rows of shelves that extend from one end to the other, and continuing to each additional floor that spanned the same length.

Through enough exploration, you find the person you are looking for. She's sleeping with a pile of books at her side, resembling your master's way of slumber, all with suggestive detail. That aside, she matches all the characteristics that you can remember about her; you're sure that this is the one.

"Excuse me," you say in a hushed voice, trying to wake her up.

"...s...a....er" you can hear her say. Sleep talking?

"Excuse me," you repeated, this time closer to her. "Could you wake up, Miss?"

Again, the commoner says something in a faint voice, "...c...er"

"Huh?"

The girl's face then grinned devilishly, "Got'cha, Sweetie~" She grabs your coat, hugging you with full force. You try to free yourself but something else is inhibiting your movement, not her. Yelling out isn't an option either, as it'll cause unwanted attention that could negatively affect Vivi.

"What are you doing?" mainting a calm tone.

>We need baby steps
These are baby steps though. By the end of the day Vivi may know three whole people who she could possibly spend more time with in the future.

>Massive social circle scheme
...of three people? And we only wanted two initially (Charles + commoner) we just got Caren cos we thought she was the commoner. I can see anons voting to ignore her if Saul and Vivi actually get along with Commoner after this.

Giving her critters to kill is enabling her yes, but Vivi will actually meltdown if we don't give her an outlet for her murderous tendancies. Also if her bloodlust is sated she'll be more open to actually put some effort into actually being a proper noble.

I think trying to her to keep bloodlust down / try to control it at all is impossible by this point, all Saul can do is keep her acts hidden and point Vivi at acceptable targets only (animals, eventually criminals).

>Seems like more of us making a harem
Is ther ductal shota a member of this harem? Because then I support this plan entirely. But being real the whole goal is to lay the groundwork for Vivi to for advantageous social contacts for the future.

ok, why do we want to get along with the "Commoner"? we have proven that Vivi is capable(barely in some cases) to be capable of socializing with her peers. Why do we keep doing this?

Anons are trying to shove her right next to what could be a massive reverse harem as thier reason for going after the commoner girl. It's not three people. It's every single eligible bachelor in sight. Vivi can get more, but I think she can probably settle in with the people she does know and maybe find more herself after she realizes she enjoys having friends instead of us dragging her to people.

We want Vivi to get along with Commoner.

Vivi IS barely capable of socialising, but unfortunately for her she needs to git gud at it. Anons were specifically introducing her to people of a status where Vivi's eventually social fuckups won't spell social suicide for her and cripple her entire school career - I specifically was aiming to get her to meet the Commoner because 1) she won't mind if Vivi screws up some obsure NOBLE etiquette rule and 2) she can't spread Vivi's fuck ups around the school gossip chain like wildfire, which would have been the case if Vivi screwed up infront of most other nobles.

I also voted for Charles because Vivi needs to make SOME high ranking social connections in her 3 years at the academy. Charles is also friends with the two Princes, so if she befriends him Vivi will come into contact with her future employers with hopefully enough social tact under her belt (from her interactions with Charles / Caren) that she doesn't end up with egg on her face after meeting them. also I like shotas sue me

"Rumors say that you're good with magic, which took me here in the end. I do a bit of it myself you see, but finding people to talk about it with are few and far between."

Mercedes giggles, "I've heard that kind of sentence more times than I can count, you know. Still, I'll let you in on it personally, I had my eyes on you for a bit and I can see that you're not a bad person. You remember this morning, right?" Getting up, she gathers the books into her arms, moving pass you, "Let's move somewhere better, there's a table back here."

Following her, you take a seat at the back of the library, secluded within a wall of bookshelves that tower over your height. Here, you can feel the stagnant air as no one has taken their time to traverse this part of the building, full of dust and heavy with the fragrance of aging paper. Nor you or Mercedes are bothered by it, instead, finding peace in itself. The slightest sound rips through the atmosphere with clarity, and the two of you are completely absent of surrounding company.

"Eyes up here, Sweetie," Mercedes teased, starting the conversation.

>(2/2)

>>3143585

"Let's see what you know, care to show me an example?" Without a word, you create another fire sprite, strolling upon the wooden stage without burning a splinter. Mercedes' eyes lit up with gentle fascination, "My, my, you're able to create one of these, huh-- and for them to not blow up. Had any idea of joining the military in the past yet?"

You shake your head, "No, and I choose not to. But I know how much a general will pay for to have that kind of asset."

"That's find in its own right. How many can you make though?"

"Never measured much. The most that I recorded is a hundred or so at a time to help me clean. Despite their small bodies, they can really help out."

"Impressive~ Moving on, do you know any other types of magic?"

"Just basic spells of the four main elements."

"Guess a butler doesn't need that much knowledge about it. Anyways, watch carefully." Pulling out a thick journal from out of the pile of books, Mercedes begins to write down a circle of strange symbols. The closest thing that you can compare them with are runes that originated in the north of this continent, Eulesia. It doesn't look to be anything spectacular, but what it caused made you change your mind, something that you never anticipated. Ripping out the page, Mercedes then gives it to you, "Tear it."

Confused, you do as she asked, however, unable to perform the task. You soon figured out what has happened, "... You made it unbreakable."

"In reality, I actually made it stronger, not unbreakable," Mercedes' corrected, "I write commands through these characters, no matter the medium. Chiseled stone, ink, drawings in the sand, they complete their assigned function until they're destroyed by other forces. Of course, there are limitations: I can't make a boulder as light as a feather if I slap on some writing on it, it'll flat out fail and is just plain illogical for even magic to perform. The more complex the written command is, the more I need to reinforce it with additional details such as magic circles. While the simpler the command, the easier it is to conjure the effect."

"What about living beings?"

"Enhancing organisms is possible, but is on the harder side of the spectrum. It also depends on a person's inherent constitution."

"Do these runes originate in the north-side of this continent? They resemble each other somewhat" you asked, trying to pinpoint where this type of magic could come from. "Also, does writing these characters in different materials and substances affect it too?"

"I do not know the magic's origins. It was found in a book that I stole when I was a kid. The place that I got it from was an abandoned house in the middle of a vast plain, empty except for the book. From it, I taught myself, mastering it since I was nine or so. There isn't any noticeable change from what I know, the spell's efficiency will not be altered if I write in ink rather than chalk. Also, they're called keys."

"Keys... Is this only unique to you? Can others learn it?"

"Probably. Like you said, it's kinda like runes, but not. Fluid in its words rather than rigid in its symbols, sentences rather than a sequence of marks. Do you want me to teach you?"

"Maybe later today, after this hour ends I'll have to take care of some stuff," you explain.

"That can do. Should I tell you my room number for later then?"

"Yes, that'll be helpful," you say, already knowing the floor level itself.

"I stay at the last floor in the eastern dormitory, room 825, right before the staircase that leads to the roof. Oh, when shall we meet? The time I mean."

"I believe after eight p.m. is fine, most students would be asleep by then, or is suppose to be."

"Good, oh good, it's nice to have a smooth schedule. I often find myself losing track of time, even with a clock in my room," Mercedes joked, certainly looking like the type of girl.

This had better not be a school gets turned into a Lord of The Flies remake battle shounen.

This is actually really bad, for both Saul & Vivi for their reputation, we probably should ask if she could come.

>>3144410
At this point I've theoretically given up on trying to warn anons.The QM hasnt yet developed a taste for consequences yet or were still barely past the tutorial.

In retrospect we probably should have asked if Vivi can come along if she's interested. Even if they don't mesh well, it will publicly look alot better than a teenage boy "sneaking" into the room of a teenage girl after dark.
>>3144463
The conversation that first brought up the hamsters mentioned breeding them. We aren't buying in bulk like you think.

>>3144475
Seconding either asking if Vivi could come or telling Vivi about the whole magic tutoring thing. Sneaking off to meet a strange girl at night is asking for disaster. Especially when mistress likes the knives.

...But would the school population at large care that much about two commoners meeting? I can see it happening if she was a noble for sure, but would they really care about the dealings of two random peasants to the same extent?

Ah I missed the breeding hamsters part. Might be doable, just gotta make sure they don't he spooked enough to eat the babies in good old hamster fashion.
... Vivi might get a kick out of it if that happens though

>>3144505
>...But would the school population at large care that much about two commoners meeting? I can see it happening if she was a noble for sure, but would they really care about the dealings of two random peasants to the same extent?
Are you expecting a school full of teenage girls to NOT take any excuse to gossip? Unique magic makes her a possible matter of national security, at least one prince is already interested, the entire occult club being after her, and we still have the standard classicist villain with what I presume is a giant information network.

>>3144513
I should proofread more.
That's at least 4 sources of surveillance (or reasons for it) on Mercedes.

>>3144513
>Unique magic makes her a possible matter of national security
If it's made irrefutable public knowledge, that is. Right now its just rumors and hearsay, in a placd habited by teenagers which makes it a hotbed for all sorts of outlandish rumors to gain traction anyway. And it looks like Mercedes has been pretty good at avoiding / deflecting the question previously. Looks like Saul is the only one she's brought into the fold regarding her power.

...You're right about the other 3 points though. Hopefully some nobles will caught having a tryst or something so the gossip buzzards have better things to focus on than the doings of our Saul.

Also we need to figure out which girl the Prince is into. He's got a reputation of a womanizer which makes it a bit odd to me that, if the woman he's into IS Mercedes, he didn't even mention her great bod once when talking to his bro.
The fact that he brought up an 'odd aura, not like the usual noble' made me totally think it was Caren at first, who even Saul has noted feels different to other nobles.

>>3144539
Whether or not it's made public knowledge. It not being public knowledge makes her even more valuable to the country as she's in control of a secret magical technology from parts unknown and she's the only one that understands or mastered how it works. It could take years to make some other people learn it or for Mercedes to train some apprentices up from scratch.
TLDR so you mean she's a secret weapon? Even more reason for her to be monitored.

>>3144299
>Leave towards Vivi's lodging

>>3144551
No, I mean the quality of rumor floating around right now literally boils down to 'Yo we HEARD AROUND than this girl MAY have some unique magic'. Not even Saul knew for sure whether she even had magic when he approached her.

And Mercedes doesn't seem to be explicitly confirming OR denying the rumors to anyone but Saul, seeing as how she's rejecting the black magic club but still rumors surrounding her magic use persist.

As it stands, these enough ambiguity and doubt surrounding the current rumors about her that her magic use as a whole can easily be written off as some childish gossip blown way out of proportion, or a fake tale someone made up. There's not ENOUGH evidence of her magic use to get anyone more important than students to pay attention right now.

By public knowledge I mean if enough information gets out that the rumors change to "Hey that girl Mercedes can use a rare form of word magic!" AKA the public gets hard proof that she can use magic at all.

Saying your temporary farewell to Mercedes, you head out of the library all the while taking a club registry at the front desk. It'll be handy if Vivi does find something that she's interested in. You still have to check out that cooking club for today as well, and if the chance arises, the blacksmithy.

Once at your master's lodging, you started to touch on some stuff while she is gone for the moment, polishing her well-beloved knives from out of the case and reordering her closet. Minor preparations like setting up the bathroom is also done in a short length, leaving you time to spare. The only responsibility left at that point is to feed Sally, perched inside the hung cage.

Later on, you could hear the faint footsteps of what you presume to be Vivi's, approaching the door in a steady pace. When opened, you see that your guess is true, but not in the way that you expected it to be.

"Mistress, why are you still in your P.E. clothes? Didn't you have time in the locker room?" you inquired.

Her cheeks are flushed, the dress from today slung over her arms, "I didn't know how to put it on..."

You sigh, "But you said that you were going to be alright when alone."

"I-It wasn't too much of a hassle, no one really cared much. Just hurry up with everything, I'm tired," commanding you to freshen her up.

With slight disappointment - subsiding when your mind became occupied - you wash Vivi of all of the fatigue of this previous hour. You haven't told her about the things that you planned, and you're mind has not decided for you to reveal the mice in your pocket. They are quite cute.

Resting herself onto a chair, Vivi laid back and relaxed. But not a second later, she leaned forward energetically with an anticipating grin, "So, what's the surprise!?" Even Sally fluttered about in your master's suddenness.

> Give her the mice, it's what you promised. Kinda. "Close your eyes and give out your hand."

"These mice are different from Sally. She represents the urges you must overcome if you are to succeed in life, and must go entirely without harm. These are simply a reward. And speaking of Sally, please refrain from enjoying your surprise around her. I wouldn't want her to get frightened by bloodshed.

>>3145197
>Give her the mice, it's what you promised. Kinda. "Close your eyes and give out your hand."
She's been a good sport socialising this much. Also will sweeten her up for:

With you permission, would, you permit me to attend magical tutoring with her in the evenings? Of course, I'll be sure to ask her if you can sit in on us Mistress, if you so desire.
If you guys wanna magic it up for Mercedes we gotta be upfront with Vivi with her offer now - rather than be caught red handed later. Ultimately we ARE her servant, so she gets the final say in things around her. If she says no then we politely tell Mercedes no thank you before she wastes any of her time with us.

>>3145197

Support both of these points. Sneaking about is a good way to get fucking stabbed like these mice are gonna be.

And maybe add

Cos we still wanna get Vivi more non-Saul aquaintences. Also maybe shove in there that she's the commoner, so speaking to her will be a different experiences than chatting wih nobles? Might be like chatting with Saul, to ease any nerves she has.

"Close your eyes and give out your hand," you say, Vivi doing so with giddiness in her disposition. When you lay the mice onto her hands, you then instruct her to open her eyes again, your master's grin growing even more monstrous. But before she could say anything herself, you speak. "This is only a sweet reward for making an effort in socializing. Apart from that, Sally is still to be exempt from your practices."

"Hmm~" Vivi happily hummed, "I could care less about that bird! Did you prepare an area in advance, yet?"

You nodded, "Inside my room. Once your done, I will take care of the cleaning."

Vivi jumps out of the chair and scampers to your door. Following right after her, you watch over your mistress who delighted in the small sacrifices that you gave her. A whole day of abstaining from such actions only fueled the cathartic relief of the young woman in front of you, delicately twisting and turning tools by the hand that you supply her with in each command. Vivi was happy, that emotional uplift lingering after the gruesome period.

The mice thoroughly dead, their remains only but a crimson art display on top of a few linen sheets, you assist Vivi in cleaning herself. It called for another bath, making sure that all the blood is washed off your mistress' hands. Likewise, your quarters are not excused in the process, bundling up the white sheets for washing and cleaning any stain with a few chemicals on hand.

Everything went in circles you could say, finding yourselves in the same situation before letting Vivi off the leash. Thinking that this is an opportune time for what you came in contact with, you talk. "Mistress, while looking up clubs in the library I ran into a girl who offered to teach me some unique magic techniques. With your permission, would you permit me to attend her tutoring in the evenings? Of course, I'll be sure to ask her if you can sit in on us, Mistress, if you so desire. Furthermore, I could get the both of you acquainted at dinner tonight so you can make yourselves known."

Your mistress squinted her eyes. "I go wherever you go and you go wherever I go. Yes, I'm going with you!-- But I have to say, a girl?"

>>3145541
Bullfighters have trained professionals to rescue people from the bulls before anything serious happens, we have magic in the setting (which means plausible healing magic to ensure she's never in true danger), and she can enjoy being a spectator while she learns about the art. It would be ideal if she could just watch bullfights all day but I think her father could understand channeling her hobbies into something that doesn't have a high chance of getting her executed. If its really that much of a worry we can write a letter asking for advice on clubs/activities he might approve.

Vivi is quick to defend herself, "It ain't jealousy, none at all! I'm just concerned that some other woman is taking what is mine. I'll see her, and I'll examine this person myself."

"Then is that permission for me to notify her? She told me where she stays at, and I could fix an appointment right away."

"Yes, it is. This Mercedes better be quite the noblewoman to skip classes instead of me."

Knowing the given decision of your mistress, you went on to mention what you've gathered and determined. More particularly, the clubs. "For tomorrow, I will requisition a maid to help you with your gym clothes. I also want to touch upon the matter of clubs. Putting aside the ones that Mistress Sabreiyna already told, another option is smithing. How does making your own knives sound? You have more than another strength to work a forge. The only thing missing is proper knowledge."

"Blacksmithing... That doesn't sound too bad. We could stop by both clubs for a second or two this afternoon. But I'm not keen on having a different person accompanying me."

> "I must remind that I'm a man, always going inside the women's locker room isn't desirable for both me and other females."
> "Do you prefer to return to the apartment whilst wearing your gym clothes every time when I'm not here?"
> "It's either that, or teaching you to put on your own dress whenever I'm not present."

Speaking of clubs in general, which NPCs will join which club do you think?
Caren is in the alchemy club, Viscount will probably join some magic club or something, whatever club bitchy countness joins will be turned into her personal social parlor within a fortnight, Mercedes is never leaving her library, and I dunno about Charles.

Considering the blacksmith club was newly opened due to the funding the princes brought to the academy, maybe one of the two has an interest in it. And the school built it to cater to them? If so another reason to check it out.
