A year and a bit since that social debut.
I'm absent as long as I can except for the party I have to attend at the very least.
Because after that day, Father would go bragging to the nobles around him with me in his arms every time he had a party.
Honestly, it's a pain in the ass.
And embarrassing.
"Rymond. Are you sure you want to go to school this year?
"Huh? Yeah. I intend to.
That's what Brother Belland told me when he taught me to study in Brother Belland's room, as usual, and I answered that as a matter of course.
"Since my debut in the social world, I've had more approaches from both Mayan and Karina aristocrats than ever before, and I've had the magic of knowing the information around me without opening my eyes, which Brother Jean had told me. It fits.
I'll discount the details, but the magic that Brother Jean asked me to do a long time ago. Actually, it's finished.
So even if I leave the royal palace, Brother Jean will not be sacrificed.
'Cause when I told Brother Jean I was going to school this year, he was starting to pack with a great smile.
"You're gonna fake your identity, aren't you?
"Yeah, well. There's nothing you can do about it.
Because it is a school in the kingdom of Centro, many students are nationals of the kingdom of Centro regardless of their preciousness, but many are enrolled from other countries because the books, technology and knowledge gather well so that they can receive the top education in the world.
Year after year its size has grown and long ago it has become one city as the 'School City of the Kingdom of Centro'.
All the students at the school live in that school city, leaving their parents to learn independence and autonomy.
Civilian students will live alone in what is known as an apartment in modern times, but aristocratic students will take maids and squires to live in single-family mansions that are small (but large in modern Japan) for aristocracy.
Its school city is surrounded by high and thick walls and rigorous examinations are provided to get inside the city.
Before I begged Brother Belland to teach, Brother Belland actually whipped at school while he lived there.
Honestly, I don't need to enroll because I have a first-rate education from my brother Belland, but if I'm going to be an adventurer in the future, it's going to be quite important to be a handout at school.
Because sometimes teachers can offer you requests to investigate ruins and crusade demons, and students can party with each other and recommend you to a good guild depending on the outcome.
Well, I don't want to bring a royal identity to such a school.
That's it. For now,
"Dear Brother Belland. I go by a different name at school, so don't call me if you see me.
"What!!?

Hide your face with thick glasses in long grey hair on your forehead.
He looks wild somewhere because he's wearing a little bigger cardigan on his white shirt.
He also began to grow taller because of the second period of growth.
I was trying to stay out of the social world, so fewer people would tie it to me just seeing this look.
When I turned thirteen, I was finally able to enroll in school.
If you magically change your hair tone to grey before you have something from the Royal Palace in the boulder, it increases the risk of spreading it in school, so keep it back in its original black color.
As well, I couldn't hide my eyes with my forehead or glasses, so I kept my forehead properly separated and out of the way of my sight while I was spending time in the royal palace.
But if I get into school, I'm going to go as a civilian student, not as a nobleman, so I can dress like I want without worrying about my maids and squires!
"Oh wow, can't you take me!?
"Huh? I'm not taking anyone to school, am I?
I should have told you that chest for a long time, but for some reason Irina is very surprised.
"I told you before, didn't I? Because I'm going to school to study, and I'm not going to tell you that I'm royal, and I'm not going to engage with nobility, so you don't have to take care of anyone.
I told you.
"So, but. Oh, what do you do with your meal!?
"I don't have a problem eating because there are restaurants and snack bars in the school city.
"Shit, your food costs are scratchy!!?
"I'm going to work part-time, so it's okay.
"Bytes..................!? La, Master Rymond!!?
Bad for Irina with the look on her face like she was in shock, but I want to live alone.
"Anyway! Because I'm not taking anyone's squire!
"La, Lady Lymond!!
Though Irina's voice pulls my hair back, I leave my room with a trunk dressed for the time being.
"Rymond! Are you really going to school!? Oh no! I still thought you were ahead of me!!
"Ha, Mother!! Please calm down!!
Calm your mother who grabbed my shoulder disappointingly.
"I apologize for speeding up the period because I wanted to study! But my house is here! I'll definitely be back. Why don't you wait for me here?
"Oh, that's not true!! Because, but............... I thought I could have a good relationship with Master Abramo and you.
For what it had been, my mother tried to be a good mother.
I laugh all the time at my mother, who seems terribly sorry if she hasn't convinced herself yet.
"Mother. This is my home, and Mother is my family. I won't get weak just because such a family bond left me at the school and the royal palace. I will also write to you.
Still turn your arms around your lonely mother's back.
"I'll show my face for a long holiday. I'm coming, Mother.
".................. I'll be waiting. I love you, my sweet little Rymond.
"Me too, Mother. I'm coming.
Somehow I kissed my mother's cheek with a soggy expression and left the room behind.
