"I brought breakfast and a change of clothes. We're going to have dinner with everyone in the dining room downstairs from this evening, but we still don't have a seat this morning."
Ah, that smells good.
Almark received a tray with breakfast and sat down on the bed.
"I'll take it."
Breakfast is served quickly and conveniently. I hardly seem to taste it.
"Thank you for dinner."
Having finished breakfast in less than a minute, Almark stood up momentum.
"I want to wash my face and fix my sleeping habits. We need to do it properly on the first day. Where is the water?
"Ah, if it's a well, outside the dorm... there it is."
Jed pointed down the window. Well, there were five big wells there.
"Really, I'm coming."
Almark quickly changed into the clothes that Jed brought and went out of the room.
Run down the stairs. The laughter of the children was heard from the large room on the ground floor, just outside the entrance.
Almark thought this was the dining room.
Looking gently, many children were talking, laughing and eating.
For a moment, he smiled bitterly at the lack of realism, imagining himself eating there surrounded by many friends. Now, let me do what I can. [M]
There was a customer in the well. A girl as classy as Almark. I carefully wash my glossy black hair that can reach my waist.
"... good morning"
When Almark called out, the child glanced at him. He had winning eyes.
"Who are you? I don't see that face."
Beautiful, but cold.
I got here yesterday.
"... ahh, you're a transfer student."
The girl snorted boringly.
"Do you know me?
"Since yesterday, I've heard that rumor. They say it hasn't happened in decades. Everyone is excited about what kind of lovely people are coming.... but... yes, you're a transfer student."
The girl apparently lost interest in Almark.
"I'm sorry I missed you."
Almark didn't pay any attention, pumped water from the well, and then washed his face. Cold water is pleasant.
"Me, Almark. What about you?"
"It's Leila. Leila Cougan"
I have a surname. She is still a daughter of nobility.
"Looks like everybody's having breakfast."
Almark said while fixing his sleeping habit.
"Are you okay?
"Just a little in the morning."
Hmm. Aren't you mad at me?
"Maia-san finds me, it's noisy. He's the only one who's here."
Hmm.
"Enough? Ask someone else later if you have anything to ask."
Leila turned away when she said so.
Almark went back to his room after quietly fixing his sleeping habits.
