Tabernacle: Ein's Second Year of School Life [Previous]
Ain't been taken by Chris as usual and headed to school.
Many crowds from White Rose Station, Ain't already used to that, were looking to school to figure out what to do today.
"That. Good morning, Dear Ein"
"Good morning, Your Highness. Looks like you were on the same train."
Two friends who were to meet each other first thing in the morning, Loran, who was closer to each other than he was the next year and who often liked Ain and were two.
And the other was a silver-haired boy named Leonard. He is the family of the Duke of Forth, the top nobleman of Ishtarika. He spoke to Ain about the rivalry Ain watched the next year, and then the day after that.
Then the thing is, did it go well with the personality? I'm acting in threesomes.
"Oh, good morning. Don't get tired of being crowded today, really."
Two people laugh lightly when they hear Ain's words. I don't even have to bother having a conversation at the station, so I start going to school. Chris, Ain's escort, has two Duke of Vols escorts. A total of six people go on their way to school.
Thus, for Ain, school life as usual begins today.
When we get to school, Chris and the Fouls family escorts break up with the Ains.
In fact, the Royal Kingsland School places several humans on its premises who are not widely publicized but who are good at covert operations. They protect the sons of nobility and those who bear the future of Ishtarika, just in case.
"Your Highness, are you ready for breakfast?
"Not yet. And the two of you?
"I'm just picking lightly, too."
"Me too, I guess. Just fine, let's all go to the terrace first."
Open terrace laid in the school. Dining rooms and lounges are set up adjacent to each other so you can eat and study yourself there. The three of them have a slow conversation on the open terrace or self-study. And I look forward to getting together and eating.
On Loran's suggestion, he decides to head to the terrace first.
"I wonder what I'll eat today"
"I... I think I'll have the pleasure of the mountain today"
"I don't know what to do... for an afternoon internship, eating meat to nourish and stuff like this"
"Then I'll take the time, even the seafood."
"Your Highness, then, with all the usual"
"Did you find out? It's okay. The food here is delicious, and sometimes I get another dish."
A menu of restaurants made by inviting famous cooks. That was both Leonard's two fattening tongues Ain't complaining about one thing, and it was voluminous for students. There is basically no charge, as tuition also includes the use of the canteen. Loran, a civilian born, feels thankful for it above all.
Ein likes seafood here as well. The ingredients brought in each morning are fresh and excellent even if eaten raw. Sometimes I asked for another menu, but Ain't much of a sea blessing to ask for after all.
"But it still feels like luxury."
"Luxury, is it?
Leonard questioned Ain's words.
"Yeah, well, I'm a student. You can take your time on the terrace with such delicious food from this hour on."
"Indeed, Master Ain is right. I don't know if I'd ever think of that."
"Get results instead. That's the guiding principle of this school...... we show our own worth and have them appreciate it. Compared to other schools and groups, you can't deny that there are heterogeneous parts."
While we talk for a while, Ain't a line gets to the open terrace.
I see people sitting in their seats, but all of them are in one group (first) regardless of grade.
And some eat and some study themselves. I sing exactly what I want to do freely.
"I'll get the order. It's okay because you both said it earlier, right?
"Sorry, Lorraine, please."
"Oh, then I'll be waiting in my seat with Your Highness. I asked for it."
"Rikai. I'll be there."
Loran, who distracts himself and goes to place an order for everyone, the remaining two sat in their seats and decided to wait for him to come back. The three always had seats to sit on, even on the open terrace, a table placed at the end. It was a seat rich in landscape, with large trees and small fountains by its side. The weather is nice today, the leaking day that plugs in from among the trees and the wind with just the right temperature were great days to enjoy this environment.
"Leonard. Yesterday the Duke of Vols was called by Mr. Warren, what happened?
"Yep. There was a little trouble with the Augusto Chamber of Commerce, and some of the existing chambers of commerce said they were giving it a little bit of a go. Those chambers of commerce have quite a say, and they are major...... Within that chamber, there is a chamber of commerce that even the Vols have an edge on, and he wants to hear about it."
"I see. It was like gathering a little information."
"It will. It's the most powerful Augusto Chamber of Commerce right now, so there are a lot of people who are jealous. Personal imagination, but perhaps not surprisingly in the last few years, it has become the most powerful chamber of commerce in the Wang capital. The chairman is terribly capable, even from us."
Its chairman's name is Graf Augusto. I used to call myself Augusto, Graf. The arm of distribution that was exerting itself in Heim was also largely prevalent here in Ishtarika. He was talented enough for Warren to admire him highly enough to make him even say, 'Lord Graff made a mistake in the country where he was born'.
When it was founded nearly a year ago, it wasn't even topical at all. Six months later, however, the situation changed, and the Augusto Chamber of Commerce became more likely to hear its name everywhere, even in the Wang Dynasty.
"Right. Mr. Graff seems like an amazing man."
Speaking of which, Your Highness knew the president of the Augusto Chamber of Commerce.
"A lot of things."
"... is it Miss Krone, her grandson, who is rather close?"
"Well, I don't know what it is. I know about Krone... yeah."
I felt smiling when I heard back, Leonard, with a soft grin.
Leonard often has a rude look. The House of the Duke of Forth is a lineage that has spawned the heavy towns of the Legal Department from generation to generation. That is why he has also been raised to be a highly educated and strict person.
But if I talk, I get a different impression from that first impression. The change in facial expression is hard to understand, but he's quite easy to talk to. I can notice people well and care for them in detail. Ain't heard a lot of hidden fans.
"Hey, let me wait for you!... Is that it? What were you talking about?
"I'm just saying that Your Highness seemed happy and above all. I'm sorry, Lorraine, but I've got my orders."
"You can say it. Let's eat it while it's warm, it looks delicious today."
"Without this, my school life wouldn't start. That's not an exaggeration."
Loran came back for two, cleverly brought a meal for three.
For the long-awaited breakfast, the three grown-ups start getting their hands on each other again.
"Oh, you're here today. You guys, you can eat."
Several little birds came to the three of us eating. These little birds are a little friend who is bound to show up when Ain't and the others are gathered here.
The little birds would also be hungry, and Ain handed it over with a chop of bread.
"You're full of good food, even today."
"Not at all… happy birds to receive a meal from His Highness"
"Give it to Leonard. It's not that big a deal, is it? Do you still want some? I can't help it."
"This is becoming the norm, too."
What was the hang-up? Only when Ain and I started sitting in this seat.
If you think you heard a tung and a little bird coming from the tree, you'd be down on the ground looking for food.
Seeing that look, I thought Ain't you hungry. When I started handing over my bread in a thousand pieces, when I saw Ain's face, I began to gather.
"I got permission from the cafeteria, and there's nothing wrong with that."
Given such things as bird manure, feeding could also have been inappropriate. That's why Ain had contacted the cafeteria manager and asked him if he could give him a little bread. Permission came down briefly, and now giving bread became the norm in the morning.
"By the way, Your Highness. What are your plans for today?
"I haven't thought about it at all. Maybe I'll go to the library. I want to check something out."
"I've been looking into it since last year, do you have any clues yet?
What Ain was looking into was about the mysterious Demon Stone. An example demon stone that has not yet come to any clarification. There are numerous valuable materials in the school that are not found in the castle. I've read and fished through a lot of material in the past year, but haven't found any clues. But the materials still exist, so it was routine to go through them every day.
"We can help if you want... but you're not, are you?
"I appreciate the two of you saying that. That's what I want to find out, so don't bother. And then... well, I guess I'll take you to the training center for the first time in a long afternoon"
The mysterious demon stone thing is not something that can be taught. That's why Ain't looking into this matter on his own. Even though no clues had been found, browsing a number of materials was not all that bad because they were also supposed to be able to accumulate knowledge.
One more thing, it's a training center. Although Ain was the main part of training at the castle, he sometimes takes to the training center at school. Because the training centers built in this school are special and can be trained differently from normal training centers and castles.
Enjoy your meal for a while. Thereafter it was dissolved. Everyone's main learning content is different, so apart from subjects such as general education, they were encouraged to fall apart.
Today and today, there were no new clues about the mysterious Demon Stone.
Hi, I'm Ain.
I'm just getting tired of my head, so I've already decided to move my body at the training center.
I see some students at the training center. But the training center is huge, so there's nothing wrong with it.
"Come on, will you train well again today... hey, Teacher Kaisel! It's been a week!
"... you. What's wrong with you today?"
"Of course, train the demons!
"That's always it. You are."
"Because this kind of training. You can only do it here, because you have people in the castle. Balanced at school."
"Ha... Damn. I'll be ready. Wait."
Instructor Kaisel takes good care of his face and attitude. Or the roots are too gentle and confusing.
At the time of the entrance exam, the attitude of stirring up students changed and was well looked after and popular in the school.
I feel like an uncle in the neighborhood who takes care of me, complaining about something.
When you're done with your training, you'll give me accurate advice. And more importantly, the hard-working students are told, 'Well done!' And a good old man praising high tension.
Blah, blah, blah. When I reunited here, I was too confused with the impression I had at the entrance exam.
"What about them?"
"In the Red Bison"
"I don't want to be the demon you deal with at your age. Then get your gear ready."
Fine ingredients such as white bison. I smoked Demon Stone before too but it tasted exactly like the finest steak.
By the way, the Red Bison looks like the White Bison has evolved. Instructor Kaisel said it tasted bad. Instructor Kaisel told me before, "It's the Red Bison who woke up to some sort of murderous fluctuation," but I don't know what that means when he tells me to wake up to murderous fluctuations. But I decided not to think about it because it would be a good training.
"Hey, instructor."
"Uh? What?
"If you go to the guild and become an adventurer. How many Red Bisons are there for?"
"About middle-class adventurers are the ones to defeat in about two. That said, one of you is."
"Heh... I see"
"So it's not like a kid your age is dealing with you alone."
"Then why can we fight at the school training center..."
Demonic props that can train demons really help. I used the Demon Stone like an idiot, and I heard about creating a phantom, but I didn't understand the principle. It's a phantom that can be created with its magic props, and the highest level seems to be the Red Bison. I heard it was a valuable piece of equipment that only existed in Ishtarika for the reason that the cost of the equipment and running costs would not be foolish.
"You say phantoms, but you don't know what it means to have feelings."
"If I say anything, you don't even know that the shock will come but it won't cause any damage. I'm telling you, I don't know either. We can leave such a difficult technology to the developers, we'll let them use it and be strong. You got no problem with that, do you?
"Indeed. By the way, did the instructor actually fight the Red Bison?
"I've killed many more demons before I got hurt. Hey... it's time to get ready."
It seems that instructor Kaisel was an adventurer who was also at a glance at Mr. Lloyd. I heard that after I had just suffered a major injury to my hands and feet, my body stopped moving as I wanted, and I retired from my adventurer.
From then on, that means I'm supposed to be the instructor here at the Royal Kingsland School in my introduction to the Guild.
"Three in a row, please"
"Damn. You're a busy guy...... get Ain ready too, we'll start on your signal!
—— Kaisel has been asked to treat Ain harshly by Silvado's immediate words. And he told me to do it in the position of instructor and student. Ein was grateful that he would treat me as a teacher. Because if you were a naughty instructor, Ein might have been somewhat reluctant, too.
And the demonic training that started. To become stronger, he concentrated on the demonic phantoms that emerged.
