Chapter 110 : The Knight's Code
"—Wake up chu! Wake up chu!"
The round Biidori was pecking at the window with its short beak, making a tapping sound,
It is said that in the era before the invention of clocks, people would even hire someone specifically for a special 'wake-up service' to wake up on time. Every morning at the appointed time, they would use a stick to knock on customers' windows. For residents living on higher floors, they would even use a kind of blowgun to shoot and wake up those who were still asleep.
In this fantasy world, this task fell to these special messenger magical creatures,
In addition to delivering mail, the Biidori also took on this wake-up service as a part-time job.
So noisy...
Having stayed up late last night, Yvonne now felt severely sleep-deprived,
Moreover, she was reluctant to disturb the warm body in her arms,
After the storm, a cool morning had arrived,
The feeling of skin against skin transferring body heat was intoxicating,
She wanted to hold her and sleep a bit longer... sigh...

Tap tap tap tap—!!
However, the pile-driver-like sound didn't spare her,
—So noisy! This stinking bird!!
She didn't remember booking such a wake-up service during the summer vacation, did she?
"Evie... Evie, wake up quickly—"
This time, it was the person in her arms shaking her awake,
"What's wrong... it's still early, isn't it?"
"Have you forgotten what day it is?"
"—!!"
Remembering suddenly, Yvonne sat up abruptly in bed,
How could she have forgotten?
Today was the first day of the new semester! They had to go early for the entrance ceremony!!
"How much time do we have left?!"
"Hmm..."
Elsa glanced at the magical timekeeping plant on the windowsill,
"About half an hour."
"...This is bad, we need to get up quickly,"
At the start of the new semester, she didn't want to be late like this!!
If this continued, her perfect attendance record maintained all along would be broken!
"...I think it's fine to be a little late..."
She yawned in bed, then stretched like a cat,
However, unlike fur-covered animals, she was currently □□, making Yvonne feel like she couldn't look.
Seeing the marks she had left on her body, now fully awake, the scenes of last night's passion replayed in her mind, causing her blood to rush.
They really did it...
And she was the one who did it the most.
No, no, no...
If she continued to imagine further, Yvonne felt she would want to skip class.
It wouldn't do to become a bad student indulging in desire.
To control her inner desires, Yvonne turned away,
"You hurry up too! We're really going to be late!!"
"Alright... I'm getting up right away~"
Probably due to the influence of aristocratic self-discipline education and her past life's good student personality, sometimes Elsa felt that Yvonne was a bit too serious in some areas,
But she liked the serious Evie too.
"Elsa! Where did you throw my underwear yesterday?"
Mm, she liked her absentminded side too~

"Hah... we made it..."
After getting dressed, they barely managed to reach the hall for the new student entrance ceremony within the specified time. Yvonne finally breathed a sigh of relief,
Although it was a magical fantasy background with a Western fantasy worldview, the school had a Japanese-style feel. The combination of the two created a subtle sense of incongruity, like the made-up settings in those light novels selling illustrations.
"What's wrong? You've been quiet since earlier."
Elsa seemed to be acting a bit strange.
She looked somewhat fidgety and very embarrassed,
"I don't know if I should say this..."
Her voice was also much quieter than usual.
"...Just say it, will you?"
This behavior only made her more concerned!
There were quite a few people around, so to avoid being overheard by others, she had to move closer to Yvonne, putting her hand to her mouth and leaning in close to her ear,
"Evie... I think we put on each other's underwear by mistake."
When following behind Yvonne up the stairs earlier, she saw the familiar style under the fluttering skirt and finally confirmed this point.
"What..."
Yvonne hurriedly held down her skirt, her face quickly turning red as if exploding with heat.
No wonder it felt different after leaving home, so they had mixed them up in the rush this morning?!
"What should we do... should we switch back?"
She asked in a small voice, face red.
"...Let's just... leave it."
Since they were already wearing them, switching back would make things even stranger!
And at this point, this level of thing seemed to have become trivial.
After all, they had already done the full set of even more intense things, so looking back, being embarrassed about underwear seemed a bit odd.
But... she still felt somewhat embarrassed, and even a bit excited.
The fact that she was getting excited over this kind of thing probably meant she was becoming more and more unusual.
"—Sister Yvonne!"
She seemed to hear a familiar voice calling her.
Looking in the direction of the voice,
Yvonne saw a familiar figure in the new student queue, so she smiled and raised her hand in response,
"Ah—it's little brother Garth!"
Elsa also looked quite happy, waving along with her to greet him,
"Little brother is enrolling here too?"
Their relationship seemed to have been quite good all along after meeting.
"Mm, he mentioned it to me before."
During the time she was corresponding with the Leinster Guild to discuss agricultural product trading, Garth, as the liaison, had been exchanging letters with her. He had mentioned in passing that he would be entering the Emerald Star Magic Academy for the first semester after the summer vacation ended. However, she had been busy dealing with other matters at the time and hadn't been able to keep this in mind,
If she hadn't seen him today, she would have almost forgotten about it, which made Yvonne feel a bit guilty as his older sister.
"Look, look—there seems to be a nice junior over there!"
Beside her, a girl in the same grade as her exclaimed upon seeing Garth.
Blonde hair, handsome appearance, tall stature, with two cute pointy canine teeth showing when he smiled,
Boys like Garth, even with slightly fierce eyes, were still very popular.
Previously, the delinquent attributes had brought him many negative rumors,
Hopefully, with a new environment, little brother Garth could better enjoy his youth.
"How about it—?! Should I take the initiative and go talk to him first?"
However, another girl let out a disappointed sound, waving her hands repeatedly to persuade her companion to give up:
"I advise you to give up early—that's the 'Mad Dog of Leinster', are you sure you can handle him?"
"You're kidding, right?" That girl showed an unbelievable expression.
"...Is he the one who previously bloodied Hartwell Academy??"
Hartwell Magic Academy was the original planned main stage of the game. This magic academy located in the royal capital held a status in the Oz Kingdom equivalent to Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
"Yes. And... I've heard that before this, he once single-handedly took on the entire Swordsmanship Department and came out unscathed! They say he even made the defeated opponents bow down to him and even demanded they lick his shoes!"
"Ugh... how scary!!"
"............"
Is it that exaggerated?
Strange rumors seem to have increased again.
In Yvonne's impression, although little brother Garth liked to stand up for justice, that child would never do things like showing off or bullying the weak,
Although his methods were a bit violent, he also had his own principles that he adhered to.
It seems that clearing his bad name is still a long way to go.
⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱
"Tss—"
Rolling up his sleeve, Garth exposed his arm and held it out in front of her, sucking in a cold breath due to the pain.
"Sister... can you be a bit gentler?"
"Stay still, if you're a man then bear with it."
Yvonne helplessly took out her homemade alcohol from the first-aid kit she carried, disinfecting and treating the blue and purple bruises on her troublemaking little brother's wounds,
It had only been a few days since school started, yet he had already gotten into trouble.
Magic potions for quick recovery were hard to buy in such a small place, and they were also expensive. For minor injuries like this, they still used conventional methods for treatment.
With so many new injuries, and his new uniform torn...
If this were in reality, problem students like Garth would probably have been ordered to drop out long ago.
"So, how did you get into a fight again? I heard you were the one who started it?"
Compared to the minor scrapes on Garth, the injuries of the boy who was beaten up were much more severe. He had almost been pummeled into a pig's head by Garth's iron fists. It was said that he had been beaten until he knelt and begged for mercy, ending up in a very miserable state.
"Sister, you don't know—that bastard was trying to two-time!"
Garth became very angry when mentioning the boy he had beaten up.
Although probably no one here would dare to actually fight back against him, this kind of behavior obviously couldn't continue in the long run.
The gazes and rumors of others—these were knives sharper than fists. Whether in her past life or now, Yvonne had deeply experienced this point.
As his sister, she felt obligated to advise him.
"Listen... there are plenty of two-timers in this world, are you going to go around beating up every single one of them?"
"But that guy is absolutely unforgivable!!"
Garth gritted his teeth and clenched his fists again.
"Taking advantage of his noble status, that scum actually wanted to force a pair of close sisters to associate with him, spouting vulgar words, saying he wanted to 'soar with both wings'!!"
Utterly disgusting! Simply the scum of men!!
Yvonne was very helpless.
"Anyway... don't be so impulsive, there are always better ways to solve problems, right?"
"For scum like that, talking with fists is the most appropriate!"
"...Garth."
Yvonne held her head, feeling something throbbing at her temple,
"Today he provoked me again, and even brought people to threaten me, I was really angry... so..."
Being glared at by his sister like this, Garth finally became timid.
"I haven't seen those twin sisters sitting together and chatting happily recently..."
Those sisters originally seemed to have a very good relationship, who would have thought such a scumbag would interfere.
Thinking of this, Garth wished he could punch him a few more times,
Precious feelings are priceless.
Not just romantic love, but sisterly affection, friendship... the pure emotions between girls are the most precious things in this world. As a knight, Garth wanted to protect them well within his capabilities.
"Don't worry, those two definitely won't grow apart because of something like this!"
Elsa, who had been by her side all along, suddenly spoke up:
"Since they are sisters, the bond between them definitely won't be so fragile. I think, as long as there's an appropriate opportunity, they will definitely reconcile again."
"Sister Elsa..."
Garth was quite moved, so moved that he stood up,
"That's right, continuing to silently protect and support them from behind is what I should be doing now!"
"That's it! Don't stop, little brother!!"
Elsa also stood up with a moved expression, although Yvonne couldn't understand at all what the two were feeling moved about,
It seems the number of idiots has increased slightly.
"You two... just don't cause trouble for others."

"What should we eat..."
"Is there anything little brother wants to eat?"
"...Anything is fine with me."
The three were sitting in the school cafeteria, preparing to celebrate the start of school
Not wanting to disturb the sisters, Garth proactively chose to sit on the other side of the table.
"Speaking of which, it seems there's shrimp today—"
As she spoke, Elsa casually occupied Yvonne's lap,
"Hey, don't just sit down like that!"
Sitting on Yvonne's lap, Elsa swung her legs unscrupulously.
"It's easier to see the menu this way..."
"Is your myopia that severe? How come I didn't know?"
Although it was common for close female friends to behave intimately at school.
But with his yuri boy intuition, Garth sensed that the precious scene before him had already exceeded the level of 'friendship'.
He had been paying attention to those newly blooming yuri flowers lately, but had forgotten the scenery right before his eyes.
"Since the end of summer vacation, the relationship between the sisters has suddenly become very close, did something happen?"
Although they were already very close before, now they looked super close,
"Does our relationship... really look that good?"
When their relationship with Elsa was mentioned, his sister looked somewhat happy.
Garth also said without thinking the description that came to his mind:
"Yes, just like a couple in the honeymoon phase."
"............"
"............"
An unexpected reaction, after hearing his words, both fell into a strange silence, their faces simultaneously starting to blush.
...Eh?
Seeing their reactions, Garth finally realized something was amiss.
Could it be...
This time, he had stumbled upon the real thing??
"Um... please don't tell anyone for now, okay?"
Elsa raised a finger and said quietly.
"We're working on this matter... we haven't told anyone at school yet."
It's true—
His heart stopped for a moment.
"Garth?? What's wrong, Garth?? Could it be heatstroke?"
The sisters... are for real!!
The yuri knight died peacefully today as well.
