Chapter 206
Youngest person wishing to retire (1)
?The glory of Rosstaylor will never fade as long as the Cloel Empire shines.
This is a phrase that makes my heart swell just by looking at it. These are the words that Bolsherr Rothtaylor the founder of the Rosstaylor family shouted at the center of the empire while raising the shining family flag.
The immature Tanya Rosstaylor has finally taken off her childish t-shirt and finally walked into the hall wearing a dressy dress. She always held close to her heart the majestic sight of Ross Taylor Hall in her memories.
How blessed I am to be born as a member of the Ross Taylor family and to be a witness to those exciting times.
In order not to discredit Ross Taylor’s name I will become a beautiful and strong daughter who will not be ashamed of being the representative face of Ross Taylor.
If you have a dream it is to prove yourself and raise the name of Ross Taylor to the world.
It is only in order to prove the greatness of this Ross Taylor that he lives. That beautiful and noble journey is not available to just anyone.
Tanya Rosstaylor the beautiful duke’s daughter of the Rosstaylor family. One day when everyone hears that name it will make their hearts tremble and they will send greetings of respect.
I will bear the name of Ross Taylor and become a person who holds power and leads everyone with honor.
The girl’s ambition burns like a torch.
The will to live the rest of your life as a great person who will be forever remembered by people.
That big ambition is not something that a child who has not yet had a coming-of-age ceremony can harbor.
That’s how the girl developed an ambition that shined brighter than anyone else’s at a very young age.

“I want to die… ”
The Obel Hall student council president’s office is attached to the student plaza.
Tanya who was sitting in the majestic looking chair of the student council president with her face on the desk with a blank expression spoke as if muttering.
It was about two days after her brother Ed Rosstaylor left for Cleric Monastery.
“… ”
Siggs Epelstein a member of the student council’s action committee sat quietly as he looked at her lying like a corpse and had nothing to say.
Medicinal herbs and reagent materials for research reported by various clubs belonging to the Pensions Department. The inventory does not match the inventory confirmed by the student council executive members during the field trip.
So the student inspectors submitted a report saying that re-confirmation was necessary.
Ziggs was reviewing the report documents from Tanya but suddenly he was embarrassed to see Tanya sinking like a deflated balloon.
“President Tanya… “Can you please review the documents first?”
Although he is a lower class student he holds the title of student council president. Tanya stared at Ziggs who treated him with respectful respect with wide eyes for a moment then put his head back on the desk.
“Senior Ziggs. “Why do people have to work?”
“Wouldn’t it be okay to think about such philosophical thoughts after finishing work?”
“We may just be swayed by the prejudices created by society in the first place. Humans… This means that you don’t live to work. “It is clear that God had a more valuable intention hidden in his creation of humans.”
President. Please review and pay. The student inspection committee members are not getting their work done… ”
“Now like this… “Is it important to check the inventory of alchemy supplies used in club activities?!”
“… It’s important. There are a lot of troublemakers in the pension department so you might end up stealing research materials and making strange things. “We have to prevent it in the first place.”
“… “It’s definitely important.”
Saying that Tanya began reading the inventory sheet written on the report document tracing the lines with a quill pen.
Then suddenly I gasp and swallow.
also… I ended up handling my work as if it were flowing smoothly… .”
“Is working as naturally as flowing water something to look so down on?”
Ziggs looked at Tanya who was wearing a bamboo hat and suddenly felt faint.
What can I say about Tanya Rosstaylor when she first came to Sylvania her eyes were bright and moist.
He kept making strange claims about how he would catch Ed and get rid of him and he also talked about becoming student council president and raising Ross Taylor’s prestige to the sky.
Well no matter what the goal was the ambition and desire for improvement that can’t be found in girls of that age are so amazing… Ziggs also applauded as a senior.
Such eventful times passed. If it’s long it’s long. If it’s short a lot has happened in a short period of time.
I expected that the immature girl who was just born with an ambitious temperament would become a more skilled compromiser after experiencing the ups and downs of reality a few times.
But the destination is… It was a little different from Ziggs’ expectations.
“You know. Senior Ziggs. If you go a little further to the right along the Pulan Mountains you will find a mansion that was once used by Baron Clecton. I heard it’s for sale now oh my… In the imperial capital the amount was barely enough to buy a shabby building. Can you buy a new mansion for that amount of money? “I just can’t believe it.”
It was absurd to ask such a strange topic asking where people get news about mansions and buildings being put up for sale.
“It’s close to several rural villages on the Pulan side and the air is good the water is good and if you’re bored you can go for a swim in the nearby river while enjoying the quiet meadow breeze. Also I’d like to have a hobby of painting oil paintings on canvas… “Landscape paintings would come out beautifully in a place like that.”
“President Tanya… ”
“Once in a while I go shopping in town and if I find ingredients I don’t normally see I try to cook a lot of things I’ve never tried before. I’m not good at cooking because I always leave it to the maids but I still want to practice my dexterity properly.
If possible it would be good to learn embroidery as well. However if she stays alone in the mansion she will become a girl who doesn’t know anything about the world so if there is a social gathering reading club or volunteer club in the Pulan region it would be good to attend. Once a week… There are too many so maybe a couple of times a month would be enough.
”
“You’re more specific than I thought.”
“There is no need for users to spend too much. There is no need to be pretentious. There would be nothing better to live like a family with one or two practical maids.
I can really take good care of you. On summer nights we do some fireworks using magic… On nice weather days it would be nice to eat outside… . Also there are many good places to take a walk nearby… I think it would be great to walk around and exercise… Such a mansion… It’s barely that much…
”
When I hear you say that I sound like a grandmother in her twilight years who will soon retire tomorrow.
However no matter what anyone says Tanya Rosstaylor is a girl in her prime who still has a long time left to live.
Suddenly Tanya who had been fantasizing wildly while supporting her chin with both hands hardened her expression and spoke.
“… “I had a good idea.”
“I’m really really anxious but can I ask you a question?”
“I’m going to make a retirement plan.”
“Not even half a year has passed since you served as president.”
Even if it’s the student president position the position of the next head of the Ross Taylor family is a position that you can’t just quit just because you want to. That part needs more time.
For the remaining forces of Rosstaylor especially the vassals and distant relatives attached to the imperial family Tanya Rosstaylor’s existence is the last remaining focal point. It may be politically burdensome to abandon all these people and disappear into hiding but in the first place it is a matter of humanity.
If Tanya abandons the family it would not be surprising if the Ross Taylor family truly disappears from history.
I don’t know how many people will fall into the abyss of frustration because of this. That fact is somehow forcing Tanya into the position of the next head of the family.
The central point must not disappear until the momentum stabilizes. Until then Tanya cannot retire.
In the end if the Rosstaylor family which was in crisis was to be brought back to stability the emperor would have to be someone who could guarantee the stability of the power even if it was not as good as before.
Selaha is hostile Persica cannot be trusted and in the end only Princess Fenia is left.
In the end the key is to weaken Princess Fenia’s competitive power.
Tanya had already developed a plan to deal with Princess Selaha but… When she thought about it she didn’t need to be this busy.
Strictly speaking… All of this is part of Ross Taylor’s move as the next head of the family.
Wouldn’t it be okay to put down the dignity of being the student council president of Sylvania Academy?
The student council’s power was quite large and I thought there would come a time when it would be needed… It doesn’t seem to be as essential an element as you might think.
“Now that I think about it I don’t think the important position of student council president at Sylvania Academy is suitable for someone like me who has many shortcomings and is immature. I still have a lot to learn… My thoughts are short… ! “It’s not that majestic!”
President… ”
“Senior Ziggs thinks so too right?!”
“… Before considering my opinion once you have been elected to the position of president you cannot resign on your own unless you satisfy the reasons for resignation stipulated in the school regulations.”
At those words the color started to drain from Tanya’s expression.
yes?! Why do you say I won’t do it?!”
“It’s an elected position to begin with right? It takes a huge amount of administrative manpower to re-elect a substitute. However the vice president cannot serve as president forever. “Isn’t the representativeness of those who are directly selected by students lacking?”
Tanya with eyes like rotting eggs brushes away her blonde hair. Looking at that and thinking back to last year when it was shining brightly I sighed.
How much has my heart broken in just one year? No matter how much hardship you’ve had it’s true.
Ziggs gave such a monologue telling Tanya the reality without hesitation.
“Would it be better to just complete your term as quickly as possible?”
“And then I die!”
“This may be news to you but people don’t die that easily.”
Tanya pressed her eyes and looked frustrated then quickly shook her head.
“If I can’t resign voluntarily I can be usurped. Or get impeached… ”
“Are you thinking about something strange again?”
“If I stay out of school and say I won’t work what will my bachelor’s degree do?! “We should at least appoint a representative to cry and eat mustard!”
Tanya looked up at the pile of documents in the chairman’s chair. The volume is so enormous that honestly even if I speed-read diagonally I don’t think I’ll be able to read it all today.
“I’m not going to handle all of this! I do not know! You can do whatever you want whether you open the stomach or not! If you lie down like that the academic administration will be in chaos so they will take you down or not even if it means disciplinary action! I don’t know! I don’t want to work… !”
“… Well if that’s your decision… Chairman you can do whatever you want but… ”
Ziggs rested his chin and thought for a moment then sighed and sat down on the wooden desk in the corner of his office.
“The fact that so many agenda items are being conveyed to the president means that the president’s work is influencing many people within the university.”
“… Ugh.”
“Then how many students and faculty and staff have to give up their work while the president is lying down instead of working? “There are a lot of people waiting just for the chairman’s approval stamp.”
that… It’s a pity… ”
responsibility!
Siggs Eiffelstein knows.
A girl named Tanya Rosstaylor is a girl who can never let go of her innate sense of responsibility no matter what happens… !
“For me too… My situation… There is… ”
However he somehow resisted with a painful face. indeed… My willpower has definitely grown…
“… “Elka’s asthma has gotten worse so I’m also worried these days.”
“… Eek… Suddenly… ?”
“She is a girl who has been my lifelong friend… “I am very worried because he insists on not stopping his studies even though his chronic illness is getting worse day by day.”
that… Why is that suddenly… ”
“Still for students who come to Sylvania to continue their studies even in such poor environments the student council has been pushing for a plan to give students with illnesses priority access to classes or to allocate them to good rooms for medical treatment. .”
Ziggs was looking at the tower of documents with a blank expression.
“The approval plan must be mixed up somewhere in between.”
that… You should have told me that a long time ago… ! All I have to do is take care of that matter first! “Why are you talking now!”
“It is not good to receive such special treatment just because you belong to the student council. So I just kept silent. “We are in a position to be fair.”
Ziggs closed his eyes and spoke straight.
“Each of the agenda items piled up in this document tower may mean a lot to someone or it might be an agenda that you are waiting for desperately like me. “For the chairman it may be a routine task but for others it may be the result of one by one earnest wish.”
“… Ugh huh… ..”
“Knowing that fact I couldn’t ask you to prioritize and handle only the items I want.”
When the deadline for processing these items begins to slip someone within the academic department who has been eagerly waiting may once again sigh in regret.
“If work continues to be sluggish such agenda items will continue to pile up. “Without even hearing an answer.”
Tanya also knows to some extent. Truly urgent items rise to the top priority but even other items cannot be easily postponed.
She is also aware of how centrally she sits. That’s why Ziggs knows.
Tanya is definitely not the type of person who can lie down here and say “I don’t know.”
“Just because you say that… Do you think I’ll shake?!”
“… ”
“Umm… Ugh… … … … ”
“… ”
“Ugh… … … … Ugh… … … … all right… .”
Tanya closed her eyes tightly as if in pain… Shut her mouth… She slowly began to underline her notes on the approval document.
really… .. really… I… Ugh… . Ugh… … … … … ..”
The face looks as if it was being tortured but in the end it was my choice.
No matter what… She is a girl who cannot be free from responsibility…
In the end I always end up walking back into the swamp of work on my own feet.
It was a sight that I couldn’t help but shed tears.

“President Tanya came to visit the day before yesterday. He was when Ed senior was at the monastery. “It was unexpected in many ways.”
Two days have passed since I returned from Cleric’s monastery.
Perhaps because I had accumulated so much I didn’t feel like I was falling behind even when I attended class. It was a very fortunate thing.
However this does not mean that I was idle while living in the monastery.
I have been continuously training my repair skills since the monastery. I was finally able to properly use bow making skills so I started preparing to make a bow that fit my body perfectly.
In the process it was inevitable that I came to Elte Trading Company.
This is because there is no one at least within Sylvania who can provide better materials than Lortel.
“I was in a completely opposing position to President Tanya in the last student council president election right? I don’t have a very good relationship with my bachelor. However when the student council president came to Elte Trading Company in person… “I was a bit embarrassed.”
The car was trying to purchase good ingredients through Lortel.
Before getting into the main topic Lortel who was sitting in the office said he had something to say and brought up the topic of Tanya.
okay? “What did you talk about when you came?”
a little… “He left with words and actions that were somewhat difficult to understand.”
Isn’t Lortel the one who reads people’s thoughts better than anyone else? If even she is confused what on earth is Tanya drawing?
“They said they had listened to all the rumors about Elte Trading Company’s corruption and that they were going to conduct an inspection at the academic level something they had no authority to do.”
that… “It’s a bit uncharacteristic of Tanya.”
Yes? “We didn’t necessarily take an aggressive stance against Elte Trading Company so it was a bit surprising.”
Tanya is busy. It would have been absolutely necessary to come to the main building of Elte Company.
“As the student council president I will always keep an eye on Elte Trading Company. He threatened that as long as he sat as student president Elte Company would never be able to spread its wings freely.”
“Well… “Are you feeling a bit bad Lortel?”
yes? well. “In the first place I was not emotionally shaken because I was senior Ed’s younger brother and I thought there must have been an intention behind such a sudden move.”
Office at sunset. Lortel sat at the dance desk in her luxurious home her auburn hair flowing to one side her back turned to the red glow of the late evening sky.
A cool early fall breeze blows through the fluttering curtains. It is a picture of a peaceful time.
Even though Tanya storms in and threatens him he shows no signs of being agitated. In the first place he wasn’t a person who could be that embarrassed.
“But I was a little puzzled because I couldn’t understand the intention at all. The relationship between the bachelor and our company wasn’t good to begin with but why did they show up and cause trouble? Ah Lienna. Could you please bring me the inventory list? “Things that can be used as bow-making materials.”
“Yes yes…” !”
Secretary Rienna was once again appointed as Lortel’s chief secretary but her hesitant attitude still remained.
He still appears to lack confidence in everything he does. Still the work went faster than expected. In the first place they have Lortel who is the king of the Elte Company as their ally… He won’t have anything to complain about.
“So I did some background research on Chairman Tanya. “It’s not like our company is the only company that has done such strange things.”
okay?
“Yes.. They say there was friction with the academic affairs headquarters and they even gave detailed clothing instructions in front of the student center saying they would enforce student discipline and put pressure on student clubs to inspect them for no reason… Anyway such external activities have become more frequent these days.”
Lortel spoke while tilting his head while stroking his shiny hair.
“He acts like he wants someone to be dissatisfied with him.”
surely… Even from Elte Trading Company’s point of view it would be embarrassing to suddenly talk about an inspection like this.”
“It seems like they want something from that side but they don’t talk about it clearly so it’s a bit frustrating here too.”
Lortel’s office has more clutter than before. As if to prove that this branch was now completely under her control even her personal belongings and daily necessities came into view.
“There is already an integrated sparring event this semester. It’s a big event with even Emperor Cloel coming so wouldn’t you be busy just preparing for it? “I wonder if there is enough time to make such a move.”
“He probably has his own thoughts. “The last time I met you you seemed a bit having a hard time.”
I saw Tanya once before going to Cleric’s Monastery. Although he had many complaints about this and that he clearly had a vision for the future of the Ross Taylor family and the work of the student council.
“Then student public opinion wouldn’t have improved much. “I wonder if my mentality is okay.”
no. “The current student support for President Tanya is unparalleled among past presidents.”
“… what?
“The Ross Taylor family is steadily continuing its work even in the face of adverse circumstances. As a freshman I am diligent in respecting my seniors. While handling a huge workload he does not neglect his studies. The fact that opinions from clubs and each class are listened to and reflected etc… To be honest the support is so clear that it is difficult for our Chamber of Commerce to keep it in check. “I have no intention of keeping it in check in the first place.”
I took a sip of the tea that Secretary Rienna gave me and spoke in a confused tone.
“I heard you just started doing all kinds of unfavorable things?”
“Even if the behavior is essentially the same the interpretation varies depending on whether the gaze is favorable or hostile.”
then… ?”
“The act of going on a rampage to enforce student discipline is truly our wonderful student council president who is strict about discipline and knows how to distinguish between public and private matters… “It seems like it is being interpreted from that perspective.”
“… ”
The image of Tanya sitting in the chairman’s office looking at the documents with rotten eyes came to mind.
Suddenly Secretary Rienna who brought a new car and a ticket with a list of items for sale stepped in to help.
“Student President Tanya… Even if you look at it objectively you’re cool right? Even though you are a first year student what should I say… You have an aura like a senior… ”
okay… ?”
“We are considerate of President Tanya because we all know how much effort she puts in for the students. “I heard that student clubs are also voluntarily donating the missing reported funds.”
Tanya is definitely a girl who works hard in everything she does.
Even after becoming student council president his attitude toward life has not changed and he seems to be running from east to west while grumbling.
A new belief bloomed in the girl who only knew Ross Taylor and eventually she ascended to the position of president of her own accord.
indeed… . It’s amazing… .!
Yes the most appropriate expression is extraordinary.
“I believe that the reason they are taking such aggressive action is to prevent any possible violation of student rights. The intention is not clear but… “If you are the chairman you must have a meaning.”
Secretary Rienna commented on Tanya in words that were close to confirmation.
surely… “Tanya is a trustworthy girl.”
I also said the same thing.
Tanya who has gone through a lot of emotional growth has now become a person who can stand tall as the next head of Ross Taylor.
Well since I am the one who has been possessed it is a bit ambiguous to say that they have a true brother-sister relationship…
Still isn’t this the only blood relationship left in this wide world?
Pushing when you can… That’s definitely true… !
Tanya… Because I went through so much trouble… !
He has lived in the dark for too long so it’s okay for him to finally see the light in the golden age of his life… !
“If Tanya’s words and actions were unpleasant I apologize as your brother. Lortel.”
“Oh my… I’m even more embarrassed by Ed’s apology. Don’t apologize to me. “Because I didn’t feel bad at all.”
no… . Still I want to believe in her and push her.”
I spoke clearly.
“If possible so that he can be reappointed as student council president next year… I hope we give it our all… ! Lortel please trust her too!”
I held both of Lortel’s hands tightly and expressed my intention as if I had made up my mind.
Lortel must have been very embarrassed by the sudden expression of his will so he hesitated and lowered his gaze.
“If senior Seo says that I don’t have any intention of opposing it. Well if you want you can reappoint the chairman… It’s not work… Because I succeeded once last time… ”
okay. Thank you for trusting me. Lortel.”
“This is such a big deal… ”
Lortel sighed as if trying to maintain his composure and then spoke slowly.
“Did you know that President Tanya called a meeting this time selecting only students from famous noble families? Senior Ed was probably included as well.”
yes. “I think we’ll probably be talking about the future imperial situation rather than issues within the academy.”
“We will definitely need to give Chairman Tanya strength in that regard. Since I am a commoner I will not be able to attend… “Senior Ed’s position is different right?”
Lortel tended to work behind the scenes and was not the type to attend such meetings.
“I don’t know what the intention was for convening it… “Anyway I think everyone will have their own thoughts so I think it would be right to go in the direction they push for.”
okay. Please take good care of me in the meantime.”
“Of course. “We Elte Commercial Association will continue to maintain friendly relations with the student council.”
Lortel grinned like a snake and made eye contact with me.
The very idea of a relationship of trust in which people could give and receive without any doubt seemed to be a source of great excitement to Lortel.
*- ’80 newly usable high-quality wooden furniture from Obel Hall as a sign of respect to Tanya the student council president who always works hard for student rights. Ornamental goat statue directly delivered from the Imperial Capital. Annual Laplace Bakery prepaid for student members to use for one year. Send your membership as a gift.’
– ‘I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the student members for their hard work in always enforcing justice and maintaining order.’
– ‘Sent by Lortel Kecheln representative of the Sylvania branch of the Elte Chamber of Commerce.’
In front of the Obel Hall used by student members all kinds of antique furniture and decorative statues that were just as majestic were occupied.
The student members who rushed out after hearing the news were shocked with their mouths wide open.
In addition there were many students who received free annual memberships to Laplace Bakery the most famous store in the living area. The corners of everyone’s mouths turned up in happiness.
“Hey from here~! I have to unpack from here so I can get everything inside! Let’s start by filling up the office space! “Just take out all the furniture you used before!”
The executive committee members were already carrying out the furniture that had been given as gifts making noises.
And Tanya Rosstaylor who came out last saw the scenery in front of the Obergwan and stood still with her mouth open.
that… President… ”
Dyke Elphelan a student member with short-cut hair and a heavy body who was the senior of the 4th year combat club and the overall senior said with a bewildered expression.
“If it’s the Elte Chamber of Commerce they are people who were stamping their feet because they couldn’t be persuaded even by the academic headquarters… What kind of trick did you use? ?”
Tanya looked at Dyke with wide eyes and then returned her gaze to the sight of the luggage being carried without saying anything.
Tanya clearly didn’t know what to do but with the mindset of please impeach me anyway she went all the way to the Elte Chamber of Commerce the most important group within the academy and caused an uproar. I felt half desperate.
What punishment will you receive in return? Tanya was also waiting with a nervous expression but the blade of condemnation struck in an unexpected and terrible way.
“Wow wow… “Did all of this really come from Elte Trading Company?!”
“This is the first time I’ve seen Elte Trading Co. act so favorably toward academics… ”
“Last time I heard that Chairman Tanya went to the commercial building to negotiate… What kind of magic are you doing? ?”
“That snarky Lortel Kecheln respects and considers the bachelor’s side so much… ?”
“Uh..is it Chairman Tanya as expected…?” ”
really… I can’t believe it even when I see it with my own eyes… ”
In the front yard of Obel Hall which was filled with piles of gifts not only student members but also students passing by were whispering in surprise.
“This is really… He will be reappointed until next year… ?”
Suddenly cold sweat started rolling down Tanya’s face.
It seemed like the trusty Ed Ross Taylor was giving a thumbs up in the blue sky.
It was a face that seemed more satisfied than anyone else.
