When She Becomes a Witch

Wave the knife.

Swing even to the side, stopping in the same place.

And wave the knife again.

No, actually, Aoshiro isn't holding the knife.

Set it up as something with a knife there, and wave it.

An inexistent knife tore through the cold air in the early winter morning.

... Even Aoi knows very well that he is seen with strange eyes from the neighborhood.

On the contrary, it is still unusual from the boarding house students, especially Riordo.

Is it only salvation that Madame Therese, the lady husband of boarding houses, doesn't give a damn?

"Phew..."

Finish your morning workout and wipe the sweat. The pocket watch I kept beside me along with the hand tug indicated a little before breakfast time. As usual.

"Morning, you're tired today, Mr. Souzillow."

"Good morning. Madame Therese."

There was already a line of French-style breakfasts at the table.

Lightly toasted baguettes, butter and some kind of jam. egg dishes and roasted ham or bacon. Salad served with fresh vegetables. Fresh cheese. Soup stewed with vegetables. Plus it has apple tarts today.

I was wondering if anywhere in Europe and the United States would eat this much in the morning, but they didn't. They don't have all the countries and regions that eat so well, and they don't have all the boarding houses that serve so many solid meals.

Finish plenty of breakfast as usual and go back to your room.

This room is quite spacious as a boarding house and seems to be a pretty good room. Sure, there are big windows and the light of day always comes in, and I don't hate dull water colors and white wallpapers. The furniture was put together in a dark brown calm, and the large desk was treasured both as a study desk and as a work desk.

And on that desk is a bamboo-inserted vase, a simple black tea bowl sits on the bookshelf in a small duvet, and the walls are decorated with floating pictures in the forehead.

I really wanted to sum it up in my western hobby, but I'm getting eroded by the goods from the imperial kingdom (Sueramikuri) that my parents send me regularly.

Riordo is very happy, but as Aoshiro himself, I'm a little unconvinced.

Quickly, change into the uniform you took out of the closet.

No... it's okay to get dressed. The problem lies after this.

"Tie......"

Aoshiro often loses his mind with a red tie that shows where he is a freshman at the Arstromerian School.

……

Hang the tie around your neck.

Cross.

Wrap it around...

"... Alright, you did it right today"

Glimpse through the small wall mirror and adjust the tie knot.

Aoshiro didn't like ties.

Even in my hometown, I had a good chance of dressing up in a western garment, but I didn't let people tie it or use loop ties.

... If I go to school for three years, will I get used to tying ties?

With that in mind, Aoshiro combed (and) his hair and tied it with his usual strings with a tweezer.

"Oh, Mr. Souzillow. Wait a minute. Take this."

I put my hand on the knob on the front door. Just then, Madame Therese calls me to stop.

"A letter was sent to Mr. Souzillow.... I actually received it yesterday, but I forgot to give it to you because of a mistake in our woman. I'm so sorry."

"No."

I get a thick letter from Madame, and I can stay in the bag. It's the usual letter from my parents. You should read it at school.

The main island of Atlantis is completely winter air.

They say snow is the only thing that rarely falls, but if the wind is cold and you don't have a coat or cold gear, you can't walk very far outside.

Aoshiro's winter coat is a black trench coat.

I also like the tongue coat I used to wear in the imperial kingdom, but it is Aoi's opinion that a neat trench coat fits best in the school uniform.

Plus, I'm matching the collar roll my parents sent me. It seemed to fit my name 'Pale', a beautiful rugged moist touch piece.

I guess the rest should be leather gloves, but I'm really bad at not getting my fingertips completely free, and I don't really wear gloves.

As you walk down a path lined with completely leafy trees leading to the school building, a fluffy white hairball - a toasty white cat - quickly rushes through your feet.

I always see it around here, but where does that white cat live? It's winter already, but are you in a proper warm mess? Is there enough bait?

Until the first class, there's still time.

Aoshiro decided to head to the courtyard without entering the school building.

Sure, there was an east room in the courtyard, and there should have been benches there as well.

If you're going to read a letter from your parents, you should read it outside quieter than in a crowded school building.

Sit back on the bench and take the earlier letter out of the bag.

The envelope was made of Japanese paper that was gentle to the touch and nostalgic.

Take out a bunch of notes and start reading slowly.

From my father at first. Next letter my mother wrote. Both, content such as whether Aoshiro is doing it properly in an exotic land or not feeling ill.

Then, my brother's letter. It's a square letter with a sense of seriousness and calculus, so that you learn properly, so that you don't just play, etc.

Last but not least, a letter from my older sister. Aoshiro was crying when he left the house, his little sister yet.

Apparently the letters have improved a lot and the letter from her is the thickest.

She says she's been taught a lot of songs and poems by a new lady.

Some of them are poems taught to 'her' by Aoshiro.

... "She" was very smart and soon learned all sorts of poems. And he used to recite poems taught by Aoshiro.

"... he's doing fine."

"Who are you talking about?

To his voice, Aoshiro took a short distance from the bench...

"... hey, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to peek."

White skin like green offering hair, green eyes and milk. Alstromerian women's uniform.

"Chloe? Don't freak me out. … it's a big deal to be able to erase so many signs"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I saw Souzillo coming to the courtyard, so I wanted to surprise him a little... so, what's he called, a friend over there?

"... I didn't think you were talking to yourself in English"

Aoshiro held his head lightly. Perhaps if I stayed here until graduation, I would have forgotten the words of the emperor kingdom.

"... well, he's a friend... a lady with a playmate."

Aoshiro tells us to remember each one in turn.

"He's the same age as me. I used to pull around a lot. I used to give him dresses - I tailored them in the practice of making magic dresses. They looked surprisingly good when I put on any dress, so I wanted someone to look at them and go hang out with them everywhere."

"Phew."

Chloe sits on the bench in a smooth motion.

"The fact that you have a lady with you, is it possible that Souzillow's house is rich?

"Well, for once. It would mean a titled nobleman in Europe."

"It is."

I heard it from myself, and Chloe muttered so uninterested that she got up off the bench and went somewhere.

"... I knew you were a weird one"

Aoshiro's words disappeared as they melted in the clear skies of winter.
