The Villainess Who Was Dumped Got Married into My Family, a Mob Noble from the Frontier, and Turns Out, She's an Amazing Capable Wife? - Chapter 118: The Clive Cheer Squad, Led by Lindblum

Chapter 118: The Clive Cheer Squad, Led by Lindblum

“Clive! Clive! Handsome Clive! Chant together!”

‘Clive! Clive! Handsome Clive!’

“Your voices are too quiet! If you’re quiet, you’ll do 500 squats!”

‘Y-Yes!’

Such loud voices echoed through the venue of the Handsome Grand Prix at the cultural festival.

This event, where the school’s handsome men participate in skimpy outfits, gathered various ladies who would discuss which man they liked the most.

Although it was such an event…

“Cheer for Lord Clive! Those who don’t raise their voices will be cut down!”

‘Clive! Clive! Clive! Clive!’

This year, there was a peculiar group in the front row.

A crazy group wearing armor, happi coats, and headbands was the Clive Support Squad led by the student council member, Treiza von Lindblum.

“Due to an unexpected delay, the event is running late, but that’s exactly why…”

Treiza shouted with a demonic expression.

“That’s why! Cheer with all your might and secure Lord Clive’s victory!”

‘Uoooooooooooo!’

The low roars echoed, but all these voices were from women.

“…What a terrifying group.”

“The Lindblum family has always produced excellent knights.”

Seeing me swallow nervously, Alicia explained.

“Even among the soldiers of the Brave Territory, there aren’t many who have this level of intensity, and yet, still students…”

“…Terrifying.”

“Especially the women, they’re reputed to be perfect as both knights and wives.”

According to Alicia, Treiza had always possessed strength equal to that of men. Women who were drawn to that strength surrounded her.

In other words, she had a lot of fans.

At first, the women approached Treiza with admiration, like she was a prince, saying things like, “Lady Treiza…”. 

However, over time, Treiza trained them, and they eventually became respectable female knights, exclaiming “Lady Treiza!” with pride.

“How silly. How sweaty. I don’t like princely women. They should just be defeated.”

“What’s with you all of a sudden?”

“But watching that woman get jealous while Clive is in my reverse harem was oddly sexy,” 

Patricia said with a strange expression, while watching the fierce women.

Is this person abnormal?

Rubbing her face against Alicia’s lap was already strange enough. We’re working together now, but once this is over, I should keep her away. 

Alicia is in danger.

“Ragna, I think she might know where Mariana is.”

“Yeah, but if we approach now, we’ll probably get cut down.”

Even though the barrier was gone, when we left the match venue and returned to the academy, everything was as usual.

“Why isn’t there a panic? It would’ve been easier to talk to people if there was some chaos.”

I thought the disappearance of the protective barrier would cause more commotion, but it was anticlimactic.

“Everyone at the venue fainted as if they were put to sleep when Belial appeared. So, the information hasn’t leaked out yet.”

“So, panic will come eventually?”

“Who knows? It’s possible some perceptions were distorted. Since the barrier was deliberately removed, restoring it as if nothing happened is best for the royal family. Are you stupid for not realizing that?”

“Watch your mouth, you brat.”

Does she always have to speak so sharply?

Well, whatever. If I think of her as a brat putting on a tough act, it’s kind of cute.

“You were really pretending… you should become an actress…”

Alicia, who only knew the Patricia who created a reverse harem, was taken aback by her prickly attitude.

“She’s just a brat, a total brat. Alicia should teach her some manners. Maybe it’d be easier to talk to her if you think of her as one of the neighborhood kids.”

“That’s true. There was a time when I was engaged to Edward, and I looked down on men of lower status. Maybe it’s similar.”

“Don’t lump me in with that! Your smug look is annoying.”

“Hey! Watch your tone.”

“Stop petting my head!”

“Fufu, I think I’ve figured out how to deal with you.”

Ignoring the past, Alicia started patting Patricia’s head, trying to get along for now.

It was funny seeing Patricia being treated like a brat.

Serves her right!

“…Well, maybe it’s not so bad. If it’s not related to the story anymore, fine.”

…Wait, Patricia doesn’t seem to mind it too much.

This isn’t what I expected.

“I’ll go ask her. I’m probably the best one for the job.”

“Thanks.”

I didn’t feel like joining that group, and Patricia was seen as an enemy by Treiza during her reverse harem days.

So naturally, Alicia was the best fit for the task.

“Clive! Clive! Clive! Clive! Chant together!”

‘Clive! Clive! Clive! Clive!’

“Treiza.”

“Clive! Clive! Clive! Ah, Lady Alicia!”

‘Clive! Clive! Clive! Ah, Lady Alicia!’

“What happened to your student council duties?”

“Ah, well…! This is an important duty too!”

‘Ah, well…! This was an important duty too!’

“Everyone, stop it!”

It was funny how Treiza’s command was absolute, and the squad shouted the new chant with all their might, even though it was different.

Treiza, knowing she was shirking her duties, was sweating and avoiding eye contact with Alicia, who had appeared before her.

“I was worried about you, so I sent Mariana to fetch you when there was a break…”

Alicia knew this well, and she kept her smile while pressing her.

“Can you tell me what’s going on now?”

“Uh, well…”

I call this Alicia’s “Lady Mode.” Her noble aura by birth always made the difference in status clear.

“Captain! Who is this woman? This isn’t like you, Captain!”

“We’re warming up the crowd right now!”

“We’re keeping the excitement up because of a slight delay due to some trouble!”

“Y-You all!”

Other women stepped forward from behind Treiza to defend her.

“So, you were warming up the crowd.”

“The captain is Lord Clive’s fiancée. It’s only natural to cheer for him!”

“The sight of Lord Clive winning and the captain by his side… Ah, just imagining it is so inspiring and beautiful, a page from youth.”

One of the female knights wiped her sweat and spoke dreamily about her fantasy. The more she talked, the paler Treiza’s face became.

It seemed like things were getting out of hand in a different way. These women were more like fans of Treiza and Clive than just followers.

“Treiza, is your role to excite the crowd?”

“…N-No.”

“How impressive. Surely you haven’t left all the trouble-solving to Mariana, right?”

“Well…”

“Are you talking about that girl with the thick glasses? She said she was so moved by seeing the captain cheer for Lord Clive that she ran off to handle it herself.”

Treiza’s fangirl was getting overly enthusiastic.

“Are you perhaps involved in running the contest? If so, please hurry and proceed with it. Show us Lord Clive’s gallant figure! And let us see Treiza cheering for him!”

“H-Hey!”

Seeing that Treiza was about to cry, Alicia sighed and offered help.

“Treiza. Come with me. If you want to see such a gallant figure, you should resolve the trouble yourself.”

“Y-Yes… Everyone, wait here while I handle this directly.”

“Yes, Captain!”

Watching how things unfolded, I was impressed by Alicia’s way of scolding Treiza while preserving her pride.

Alicia, you’re truly amazing. I’ve grown even more fond of you.

“Not bad.”

“Right? Fufun.”

“Why do you look so proud? That’s gross.”
