The crimson princess-Chapter 201: New school year

Pov Dia,

New year at Kuoh Academy — new students, and among them: Riri, So-tan, and my daughters.

As always, my New Year's address was delivered in a room filled with heavy tension.

Why? Obviously because of me. That way, no one dares to look down on me, and everyone will respect the school rules — because they'll all be too afraid not to.

Dia: "To begin, I welcome the new students and welcome back the returning ones."

I launched into a long and tedious speech — so boring, in fact, that even I had to struggle not to fall asleep.

Dia: "Now, for those of you who are dozing off, cover your ears."

I pressed a button, and a screeching noise echoed through the room, waking and startling everyone.

Dia: "Now that you're all fully awake, it's time to address the most important point."

A photo of my beautiful Inglis-chan was projected on the screen.

Dia: "Let me introduce you to my daughter, Inglis-chan. Consider this a warning: any boy who tries to flirt with her will be expelled immediately and receive an official notice of removal from the academy.If you fail to comply... the consequences could be far worse than you can imagine."

I wasn't joking about this rule — even Inglis herself doesn't want to be flirted with by men. But if it's a girl, she's fine with it.

Dia: "Obviously, because the world is unfair, this rule only applies to boys. Girls, if you want to confess to her, you may — no consequences."

My words made the boys in the room react, but I reminded them that they're the problem, and that my daughter's comfort is what matters most.

Dia: "Some of my servants' daughters will also be joining this academy, and my servants have requested the same protection for them. So, to be fair — any girl who does not want to be approached by boys can sign up to be added to the protected list."

I projected a photo showing those who had already joined the list: So-tan, Shirone, Riri, my daughters, Utena...

Dia: "This photo shows everyone currently on the list. And no, not all of them are daughters of my servants."

I also told them that girls who wanted to could choose shorter skirts, and that the exact measurements would be given to them later.

Riri pushed me to allow it, which made me angry — but I refused.

Dia: "Their skirts are already short enough that, with a bit of bad luck, you can see their panties. If we make them even shorter, their underwear will be constantly visible. We're devils, not succubi. I'm not going to make you wear that kind of outfit — but if you really want to, you can. Just know that if you do, you won't be on the protected list anymore."

She really thought I would allow something like that, even though I haven't even permitted traditional Japanese outfits at the academy.

Those are my favorite clothes — I wear them all the time, except when I'm working as a manager.

Dia: "It won't be mandatory, but I'm warning you: anyone who chooses to wear the shorter skirt can't be on the list. And you should also know — many people will see your panties, and you'll have no right to complain."

I felt the grateful look of the girl, relieved that she wasn't being forced — and a hateful glare from certain male students, especially three of the notorious pervert quartet.

A single glance from me was enough to make them lower their heads.

Dia: "Don't think I can't read your thoughts. Let me remind you three that you have no right to make any mistakes. If you try anything with Inglis-chan or the others on the list, it will end very badly for you — and believe me, I will know, no matter how far away I am."

Now, after that little talk, I went to see Yuki Rito, so that he could meet the Goddess of Luck.
