England, where Dior has lived for more than 20 years, but the girl is not familiar with it. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info today's Britain is no longer the hegemony of a hundred years ago, and it is far from history, and if the girl were to describe it in one word, she would definitely fall into embarrassment because she could not find the right wording. But if all those who now live in England could choose a recognised adjective to describe the Britain of the past, the final word would have to be 'twilight'.

Just like the old man who is dying, even the glory of the past has been discarded, and the new administrative method has been replaced by a new administrative method, which has hollowed out the rights of the royal family, and it seems that the society is progressing, making great strides and steady, but that is just a knife to this old man in his twilight. The bloated administrative system, the million-dollar members of the Hunters' Ministry, the high-ranking civil servants who earn tens of thousands of pounds a month, and the low-wage class who earn thousands of dollars a year, and the unresolved refugee problem since the Victorian era are all signs of the country's 'end'.

But even if it loses its former heroism, the machinery of the state is still running in an orderly manner.

After Yuru's meeting with the Ming Empire ended, and after providing the Ming Empire with inventions including the "Pulse Shock Engine", Yuru and Dior waited for the arrival of the special plane at the airport in the capital of Nanjing. Flying from London to Warsaw, and then landing from Warsaw to Nanjing, this long voyage will also draw an end to the trip to the Ming Kingdom.

"Dior, the new and unfounded "Joint Operations Department" was actually mentioned by you. Yuru was keenly aware of Dior's purpose.

"Yes and no, it's good for Britain and the Ming Empire, isn't it?" Dior sipped his pipe and closed his eyes, "The British government has further stripped the Queen's rights, and the only thing the Queen can rely on is your Hunter Ministry, which is a good thing for everyone - except for poor Queen Elizabeth, whom I have never met. ”

After this sentence was spoken, there was no further communication between the two, until the waiter at the airport came to tell Dior that smoking was prohibited, Dior reluctantly put down his pipe, and Yuru looked at Dior with complicated eyes.

"I can't agree with that. The girl said.

Dio didn't want to confirm that she was fundamentally different from Yuru, Yuru had a strong sense of responsibility, and she blamed her past failures and the deaths of her subordinates on herself, which was not a good thing, but for her subordinates, it was a fortunate thing to have such a boss, which is why she was surrounded by her subordinates like stars and moons. Yuru, of course, couldn't understand Dior's casual behavior, not considering any impact on the people around him.

"Yes. Dior exhaled the last wisps of smoke and, under the urging eyes of the orderly, cleaned the ashes from his pipe.

We can't agree with each other, and even if we can understand what each other is doing, we can't do the same thing from the same standpoint in the end. There are too many problems to be counted from there.

"I don't know why you're doing this, and what your past is like, so I'm not qualified to comment, but in my capacity, I can't agree with your desperate desire for 'power'. ”

"Don't you need 'power' either? No, it should be said 'might', if it weren't for that, you wouldn't be in the position of the head of the hunter department, you need this thing, you have to do it for too many things, don't you? ”

“... It's too much to veto everyone's past in one go. ”

The last aristocracy of the old British era, including Yuru's parents and Dior's adoptive father Ian, adhered to classical ideas. The 'decaying' aristocratic honor that is incompatible with modern society has long been abandoned by the current society to the point where I don't know where it is. Yuru received an education, and she was very fortunate that she was not like the so-called rich children, she still had a full "chivalry" and "sense of aristocratic honor", so she felt that she had a heavy responsibility.

"What about Dior, didn't you encounter any unfortunate things in college?" Yuru didn't go to school, and the education she received was much more useful than what was taught in school.

"Ah, that's not a place to be happy, especially when you can't find like-minded people," Dio replied casually, "and besides, there are no other commoners in that school except for self-righteous aristocratic students, and it is impossible for an aristocratic adopted daughter like me to mingle in it." ”

At least at the age of 16, the high school she attended was still a bullshit place for 'ladies' to gather to learn 'etiquette', and Dio naturally scoffed at this kind of thing. After arriving at Connor's house, Ian arranged for her to go to the same college as John, and it can't be said that she was completely idle... There were a lot of 'interesting' things going on.

"What the hell is taught in school?" Yuru was a little curious about what that place was like.

"As the head of the Hunter Department, haven't you ever been to that kind of place?" Dior looked at Yuru with some surprise, she thought that Yuru was not interested in this kind of thing.

"After all, it's the War Department, and I need to be on the front line a lot of time, and if I go to school, maybe I'll be nervous," Yuru shuddered, as if remembering something bad, "I once occupied the enemy's stronghold during a secret operation in Pakistan, and one of my subordinates answered the call into the stronghold without my permission, but was blown into pulp by an electronic trap, and I still have a shadow of civilian telephones." ”

"Obviously, when I rescued you, you slept better than anyone else?"

“... Don't say it! I hadn't closed my eyes for three days at that time!"

Still, school? Dior pouted, and to be honest, she didn't have much nostalgia. The civilian plane landed at Nanjing Airport, and the two were also contacted.

――Four years ago――

Hugh Hudson, the last orphan of the Old Times College. Single-mindedly admitting only 'noble' students, this once-Liverpool college is now nicknamed the 'Civil Service Retirement Home'. Retired councillors, civil servants, etc., would use their connections and the title of 'Lord' which they had acquired by some shady means to become professors at this school.

Even so, it did not prevent Hugh Hudson's 'last' dean from putting an end to the idea of the college. It is conceivable that this old man, who is over half a hundred years old and has entered old age, heard the news that the adopted daughter of the 'Connor' family, who does not have any aristocratic blood, will come to study at this college.

What a great shame! Isn't it because such stupid people have put civilians in our institution of higher learning, and what was originally a lecture hall of more than ten people has become a foul pile of people, which is really hateful! Damn parliamentarians! How could Her Majesty allow these people to be so presumptuous! How could such a slashing dean be allowed to step into Hudson?

But in reality, he does not have the right to make this decision. Even if that Dio Connor does not have any noble titles, she may be the heir of the Connor family in the future, and she may also become "Lady Connor", so it is impossible for the academy to refuse her to study in the academy, not to mention that although the Connor family has long since declined, as the last nobleman of Britain, it is impossible for the head of the academy to come to the door and reason with Ian Connor.

He can't even embarrass this Dio Connor's face, otherwise the Connor's family, which has been studying at Hugh Hudson for generations, will not be able to get over the face, and the well-connected Connor's family will not know how high it is compared to the other heads of the college. Even without the title of the old era, the Connor family is still the Connor family, and he has nothing left.

However, this temper disappeared a month after Dio Connor entered the academy - that Dio Connor was so good that the head of the academy had to be jealous. Completely different from those noble children who eat, drink, and enjoy wine in the garden, this young girl, dressed like a young man in the Victorian period, has no intellect and intelligence that can be compared to those who stare at noble titles and are useless. She is the one who can really revitalize Britain! The head of the academy had this idea, and then he suddenly realized that perhaps there would be such talents among the common people.

Unbeknownst to Dior, who spends her days in Hugh Hudson's library, she is wrestling with Old English and obscure words. It is much better to immerse yourself in history and literature than in the past, and no one knows that young girls carry their own guns even when they come to class. Fortunately, Hugh Hudson didn't have any routine check-ups, as long as he had a good etiquette class...

Well, that has nothing to do with Dior. Absenteeism is commonplace, and professors don't like this 'disrespectful' student, but after what little talent she has left is completely refuted by the girl who is immersed in this world, the professor who is a civil servant and a parliamentarian no longer gossips about the adopted daughter of the Connor family, she has been banished from the knowledge of these councilors, and if she wants to enter politics in the future, the pressure will be very high.

"Dior, why are you Dior?"

“... Because.kiss.your.ass.” Dior closed the book angrily and smuggled out, she hated it when someone interrupted her while she was reading.

Of course, the only one who came would be John, the only one in the academy who had a relationship with her, who was scolded by Dio, and he didn't show how lost he was - he was used to it.

"Hasn't anyone been bothering you lately?" said John, sitting down beside her.

Dio glanced at him and moved his chair to the side, the corners of John's mouth twitching.

"Yes, but none of them can fight. ”

Can you fight? John probably guessed the fate of those people, in the private territory of the Connor family, there were often 'brawls' of matches, and after Dio came, she overwhelmed all the boys with overwhelming force, once again showing her true colors as a gangster leader, but... John was worried about this.

"What are you looking at?" the eldest young master did not immediately bring up the matter, but asked about Dior.

"Eve of the Future. Dior replied casually, of course, it was a book that did not exist in this world, and she herself did not realize it.

She also didn't realize that what she said casually would become the biggest obstacle to her future.
