Chapter 368
I recalled Frau-sensei’s question .
「Student Gol, the word nobles, who does it refer to?」
The correct answer in this kingdom is this .
「Those people with peerage including their lawful wife and children . 」
The king and royal family are not included so they are not members of nobility .
We should also be careful who we are referring to .
Those peerages include duke, marquis, count, viscount, baron, knight, and someone with a special equivalent title .
A good example of a special title is the four heavenly kings and there are also similar titles other than that .
Now .
The Gullgald Noble Academy is, obviously, a school attended by nobles .
Most students are either noble’s children or children of civil servants and military officers of nobles .
Thus, the title and position of the parents have great influence on the interpersonal relationship of students .
This school is also not trying to rule out the effect .
On the other hand, they actively teach the students to know their relationship, how to treat each other, and have everyone be aware of their responsibilities .
It is true that all students are treated as equal after entering the school but after graduating, there will be a clear social status difference among them so they should not be spoiled .
The etiquette teacher said that we should not do things half-heartedly here even if it is safe to make a mistake while we’re at the school .
However, it is said that every year, there’s a tradition where newly enrolled students will be “cheered” by fellow students .
One of those “cheerers” is being beaten by Sil .
「You bastards . How dare you be repulsive?」
Translation: Oi, how can you enroll here and not greet others? What’s going on?
He attacked us before saying that .
He will definitely be beaten .
Or rather, if we don’t beat him here, things will be harder for us later .
「We didn’t know that greetings were necessary . How about I let my fist to greet you?」
Translation: Eh? But I have a higher social status than you, do we really have to? If you told us that earlier, I wouldn’t have punched you .
「G-go-goo-good punch… . fuh, I like it . 」
Translation: My apologies . Please take care of me from now on .
His legs weaken . Is it because of fear? Or is it Sil’s punch effect?
I don’t really care what’s the reason but there are more and more people coming here .
We’re in trouble .
When we entered the school, we have titles equivalent to the head of a baron family .
We are not barons but it seems like we are treated the same as barons .
That happened when we handed over Frau-sensei and Yuri-sensei’s letters to the school principal .
The principal seems to have a little headache after reading the letter so I hope Frau-sensei and Yuri-sensei did not say too much .
However, we will make good use of the status we received .
By the way, the man beaten up by Sil earlier is a son of a count .
A baron family head is higher than a count’s son .
Even if it is the son of a duke, the same is true .
The family head is the person who holds the peerage .
No matter how high your parent’s peerage is, someone with low peerage will always be higher than a child who had no peerage .
However, the count’s son might become a count later so it is normal for them to be bossy even if they are facing a baron family head .
That’s how the world goes .
However, if a person of lower social status or position clearly picks a fight like now, there’s no other way but to buy it .

Leaving it at that will only entitle you to receive revenge .
That person can’t fight back later if that will be the case .
It is best to set aside victory or defeat and end the fight on the spot .
As for the reason, “disgrace of authority” .
The noble’s society will immediately respond to such act of rebellion .
Though it would be great to win, it is also alright to lose .
The most important thing is to show that you resisted .
「This mantle is not useful . 」
Sil pulls the short cloak on his back to show it .
You don’t have to show it .
I have something similar on my back .
This short mantle is proof that you’re a student of this school .
A line drawn on the other side clearly displays one’s identity .
「But why on the backside? No one can see it unless you turn it over . 」
「It’s a crime prevention measure . It will be scary to walk around the city with that on display . 」
The capital has good security but it doesn’t mean there’s no crime .
Frau-sensei taught us to be careful when training around the area .
「There are more troubles because it is not displayed… . 」
「It’s only because of the lack of attention of the other party . 」
You can see the line if you look at the edge of the cloak a little .
「Lack of attention… . . isn’t it because the line of the baron family head is similar to the line of a baron family official?」
Ah… . right .

Next time, let’s talk to the receptionist oneesan .
The normal schedule is to take classes in the morning and club activities in the afternoon .
We put off club activities and strive to build a house .
That’s the plan but we decided to join a club .
The name of the club is Territory Citizen’s Life Improvement Club .
Hunting, camping, farming, construction, cooking, sewing .
Other than hunting, the others are unnecessary for nobles but it will be more convenient knowing them than not .
Also, if you have a territory, you should be able to live a better life if you are knowledgeable in those areas .
That’s the club’s purpose .
The four sempais and two neighbors decided to form it with us .
But for some reason, I’ll be the representative .
Maa, I did not refuse because it will be easier to get demonpower for both hunting and building the house .
As for farming, Bron negotiated directly with the school a while ago .
We can buy food in the capital but we don’t have the necessary amount we need .
Also, the taste is awful .
We only want them to lend us land and we’ll turn it into a field ourselves .
It was immediately dismissed saying the students don’t need to plow field but it was resolved after consulting the receptionist oneesan .
「Recently, although the food situation is getting better, food research is indispensable for the future . Could you lend us land for that?」
That’s how I said it .
They lend us land next to the block where we are building our houses at . It is a square land, 100 meters on all sides .

I thought that it would only be a matter of time but I started making oil .
When I was working in parallel to house building, one sempai, who’s interested in fieldwork, came .
Sempai is a child of a noble with a rural territory .
However, he is not living like a noble I imagined but lived in a house similar to a hut . It seems like sempai also worked hard in plowing mulberry fields .
He said he felt nostalgic in this club .
He seems to be more knowledgeable compared to us so we asked for him to guide us .
According to sempai, he was shocked that he’ll end this year by plowing .
「Maa, this makes me lonely so let’s build a small vegetable garden . I’ll get the seedlings and seeds . 」
No one objected .
Ah, right right .
Noble’s language is prohibited in the club .
Aside from hunting, we’ll also have to do camping, farming, construction, cooking, and sewing .
「Let’s arrange it properly . 」
We should really do them properly and don’t let them be just objectives .
Presently .
Aside from the four sempais, two neighbors, and one farming sempai, our club has gathered some more and exceeds 40 members .
I’m happy that our house-building is progressing .
Though not all members are here every day, they’ll surely come during mealtime .
Why?
And, how could I manage cooking for 40 people by myself?
The seasonings that Uncle Gulf gave me secretly is about to run out .
Maybe I should look for Uncle Michael’s store .
