In December, winter came in earnest.
Ha, and the more I leaked my exhale, the colder it got.
The trees are also completely scattered with their leaves, something thin and thin stands out. Besides, I haven't seen the snow yet, but it's not a strange time to come down.
"Morning."
Wake up. It's getting totally cold, but I'm getting out of bed like I always do. When the curtain is opened, a clear morning sun plugs into the room.
Winter light is only slightly different from summer.
I don't know what to describe, but I liked winter mornings too.
Speaking of Evi, she still seems to be asleep and breathing.
He's been home late lately and seems to have had quite a bit of training. We often chat indoors without other love, but we don't talk to each other about the massive sorcery battle Magics War.
It was like an implicit understanding.
But it's never awkward, should we say we're aware of each other as rivals?
It's a holiday, which means I'm going out to the city. There have been some training lately and I haven't been able to get my own time but today is my first rest day in a long time.
Amelia and Ariane are getting pretty good looking too.
The growth of Ariane in particular is remarkable, and she is working extremely well with me. Amelia seems to be struggling to control the causal butterflies (butterfly effects), but she has grown as a result of her training with Leese.
Especially these days, I feel the quality of code building has increased dramatically.
I'm wondering if Amelia will be the top seven magicians in the future if we keep this up.
"Okay."
Take a light shower and change into personal clothes. The temperature is also quite low today, which means weaving a black long coat. That was given to my master and he makes me use it a lot in the winter.
When I go outside, I feel firm cold.
But I am relatively warm, so winter is not so bitter.
It's stretching from the college to the Central District. It goes down the hill and straight to the city.
The trees growing left and right have not left another leaf. Besides, the weeds on the ground are slightly frosty.
Enjoying the season, it was the bookstore I was headed to.
I've recently finished reading all the books I have, so I was going to go buy something new.
Besides, the fact that a new issue of Luna-Etel came out a few days ago is a topic of discussion within the kingdom. I've been a fan of that since before I found out it was Mr. Reese, so of course I'm going to buy her new issue on this shopping trip.
"Oh, there is."
When I reached the bookstore, there was a pile of new issues. Reaching out without getting lost in it, my hand hits me in good time with the woman next door.
"And... I'm sorry. Are you all right, sir?
"Yep. My apologies."
The woman was a very beautiful man. Probably a nobleman.
Blue hair with diluted beautiful pigments and well balanced body. On the nose that passes softly, the lips stained slightly with a pearlescent color. My eyelashes are looking up nicely, and my makeup is clumped together so that I can pull the ingredients together.
Also, is there a twin behind it?
The maid stood behind her.
"Are you a fan?
And I decided to ask. Think of this as an opportunity for something too. When she says so, the woman answers in a hazy way.
"Yes, I have all of Luna-Etel's books and have reread them over and over again"
"I'm the same. Her books are amazing, aren't they?"
"Yes, and the last book..."
And the two of us get excited about Luna-Etel on the spot. She and I seemed to have a good taste in books, and the author of our preference wore them quite a bit.
"Oh, I'm late for that introduction. I'm Charlotte-Hartnet. She is the eldest daughter of the upstream aristocracy, the Hartnet family. He is also a third year student at the Mercross School of Magic. The two behind you are the maids..."
Shifting his gaze behind him, the maid gives him a more polite courtesy on the spot.
"It's my sister, Casey-Charlier."
"It's my sister, Kathy Charlier."
That's how I introduced myself again.
"My name is Ray-White. I'm a freshman at the Arnold School of Magic."
As soon as I utter that word, it clouds as I look at her face.
"Ray-White?
"Yes."
"... Are you kidding me, that ordinary guy from Ordinary?
"Right. I'm an Ordinary."
The atmosphere openly changes from what it was earlier. But I remember that name again.
Team: Hartnet.
I do remember that the constituent members are these three.
Charlotte-Hartnet
Casey-Charlier
Cassie-Charlier
He's the one who thinks he'll be the biggest enemy in our group league. I had already gotten good at magic and other information, but I hadn't even grasped it until my appearance.
I didn't know that was where we were going to meet.
"... you, you don't feel ashamed of yourself? Ordinary participation in the Holy Games."
The tone goes from polite to suddenly tight... right?
She is, apparently, more human than pedigree among the upstream nobles.
There will be no need to antagonize me. I hadn't been involved with anyone with this hand in college lately, but some of me thought I'd miss it somewhere.
"No. I'm not ashamed or anything like that. I am eligible to participate because I am a student of the College. I'm filled with it."
"hehe...... haha! I heard you both! I'm not ashamed!
Laugh softly.
It is clearly a kind of ridicule.
But as far as I'm concerned, I wasn't particularly willing to argue. If that's what they think, there's no other way.
"Right. Lady."
"Yes, you're right. Lady."
Both maids affirm the word. Even so, these two don't feel like they're taking me lightly. Just calm down, it feels like you're here.
"It's great to have a book hobby with me. But the average person, Ordinary, needs to be able to defend himself... Can I have a moment, please?
It grabs me by the shoulders.
There's no point in being on this scene any more, so I'm just going to buy a book and get out of here... and I'm totally stopped.
"I'd like to buy a book."
"Ah. Well, let's buy it first"
"Yes."
So the two of us shut up and buy the book side by side.
Then go out in the aisle in front of the bookstore and say goodbye.
"Senior Hartnet. I beg your pardon."
"Yep. Good mood."
Smile with Nicole and wave with grace. I turn back my heels when I bow my head to the pepper...
"Hey, wait a minute, will you?
"Something?
"You... surprise me..."
"? What are you talking about"
Then behind you, two of the maids make a bossy voice.
"The lady's just a jerk."
"Well, right. You're a lady, aren't you?"
"Hey! Those two! I hear you!!
Loud and careful, the two look familiar and point in a different direction.
"You're close."
"As it were, well, it's childhood friendly, even though it's a maid?
"I see. And yet, you're beautiful to all three. Is this what all the noble families are like?
"... ugh!
Senior Hartnett suddenly turns his face bright red. My master tells me that if I have any problems rubbing with women, I should praise them for now.
I wanted to go to the next store soon, so I'll give it a compliment for now before I leave...
"Also, say it properly again?
"I think you're beautiful. She seems to take good care of her hair, and her makeup looks great on her. I think the boulder is an upstream nobleman's maid."
"Heh... heh. Well, you know exactly what I mean, don't you?
He let his hair swoop behind him and looked soggy. Apparently, I'm in a much better mood.
"So, I'm on this"
"Yeah...... wait! You have something to tell me!
He grabs me by the shoulder again.
In the back, the two maids were completely laughing with their mouths down.
"We will never beat you guys!!
Put your chest up and declare so. Of course we can't lose again.
"No. We're the ones who win"
"Hmm! That's what we should say now. Wow! I will tell you that the Ordinary is no match for nobility!
"I see... I'm looking forward to the game"
"Huh."
Then his face turned bright red again and he seemed to tremble as though he was a mess.
All this time, what the hell is causing that? I had no idea.
"Bye. Now it's time to excuse me"
They never grabbed me on the shoulder anymore.
Just from behind, I thought I heard a bossy voice... but I was just leaving.
◇
"Ugh..."
Kneel on the spot, Charlotte. After her interaction with Ray, she had a lot to feel.
"Ma'am, how are you?
"Does your stomach hurt? I've been eating too much in the morning."
And, slightly stirred by the two maids, she suddenly makes a loud noise when she stands up on the spot.
"Oh, I didn't hear you were so cool. Wow!
Yes. Charlotte looked like Ray was a complete strike.
Some women, Ray, have a little too sharp an atmosphere to like.
Generally speaking, the appearance is neat but the preferences are divided.
It's just that Charlotte preferred a manly person like Ray. I get scared that he's too muscular, but I really liked his physique, and his tough face.
When I found out that my taste in books was right, I was actually very happy on the inside.
However, I later discovered it was Ray-White and tried to behave like a nobleman to my temper... but that, too, didn't seem to be working out for me personally.
"Well. Sure, it's a lady's preference, isn't it?"
"There's a lot of men like him out there in books under the bed."
Rose Charlotte's secrets even more, but he wasn't there in person.
"... cum! Oh, my God, I'm gonna beat you! And make him mine! Yeah, I'll tell you how wonderful the nobles are!
After all, how will the Charlottes fight the Rays?
