#.75

 

At the thought of going to school, I sprang up at a time when I normally could never wake up on my own.

 

After washing my face and changing into my school uniform, I grabbed my ribbon and ran to Liliana’s room.

 

“Knock knock! Knock knock knock! Little sister, tie my hair for me!”

 

After I made knocking sounds with my mouth, Leopold came out a moment later.

 

Leopold had woken up at dawn to do personal training and had already finished showering.

 

“Where’s little sister?”

 

“Regina went to bed quite late yesterday, so I think it’s better to let her sleep.”

 

“Why? She tells me to go to bed early every day!”

 

“Well…”

 

Leopold’s eyes wavered.

 

He hesitated to answer, then suddenly picked me up.

 

“Little sister is very tired and needs to sleep. Let’s go. Brother-in-law, ahem. Yes. Brother-in-law will tie it for you.”

 

Leopold sat on the living room sofa and started brushing my hair. But his brushing was a bit clumsy.

 

“Ow. My hair hurts.”

 

“S-sorry.”

 

“Today I want to do twin tails.”

 

“T-twin tails?”

 

Even though I couldn’t see his face, I could tell Leopold was flustered.

 

He seemed to be struggling just with tying hair, which left me bewildered too.

 

Swish. I turned my head to look up at Leopold.

 

“Brother-in-law can’t do twin tails?”

 

The sisters even braid twin tails and roll them up into circles on my head.

 

When I looked at him with sparkling eyes, Leopold nodded as if he had made up his mind.

 

“I’ll try.”

 

And he added.

 

“I believe I can do anything as long as there’s repeated training.”

 

I entrusted my hair to Leopold with a slightly nervous heart.

 

Even if he can’t brush well, he should at least be able to part it and tie it on both sides.

 

But contrary to my expectations, Leopold struggled and fumbled for ten whole minutes.

 

Edgar, who had already washed up neatly, gotten dressed, and even been to the kitchen, sighed.

 

“When will this ever end? Let’s eat first.”

 

“R-right. You need to eat.”

 

Leopold picked me up again and carried me to the dining hall.

 

After seating me in a chair, he sat next to me and continued working on my hair.

 

Meanwhile, I ate the food made by the ducal residence’s cook one by one.

 

“Edgar. I’m so excited I couldn’t sleep at all yesterday.”

 

“I couldn’t sleep because I was worried you’d bring out Oliver again like when you fought with Helene.”

 

“Hey. Our Oliver is so nice though.”

 

I joked around while stabbing the remaining meat on my plate with my fork.

 

“I’m going to make lots of new friends today.”

 

“…Wouldn’t it be better to just leave your hair down?”

 

“Huh?”

 

Leopold’s body next to me stiffened like stone.

 

Creak. Creeak.

 

When I turned my stiff head, Leopold avoided my gaze.

 

I had an ominous feeling. I got down from my chair and ran to my room.

 

“Wh-what is this!”

 

The me in the mirror did have twin tails, but they were uneven heights.

 

That wasn’t all. Hair was messily sticking out between the hair ties, and hair that couldn’t be tied was flowing down below my neck – it was a complete mess.

 

My lips jutted out. Today was my first day going to school, so my hair needed to be perfect…

 

I pulled out the hair ties and shouted at Leopold who had followed me.

 

“Little brother-in-law is stupid! I won’t be best friends with little brother-in-law! Hmph!”

 

“L-Lilliana. I can do it well if I try again.”

 

“I don’t want to!”

 

Sniff! I sniffled and picked up my bag.

 

Edgar patted Leopold on the side to comfort him.

 

“It’s okay. At least you’re good with a sword.”

 

“Edgar, even you…”

 

“Let’s hurry and go to school!”

 

Thump. Thump. I made loud footsteps as I walked down the corridor to the front gate.

 

Edgar chased after me and said.

 

“It’s just hair.”

 

“It’s not just hair. Tied hair and loose hair are different hair.”

 

“Isn’t that just a difference in feeling?”

 

Isn’t now the time to bring out the righteous fairy sleeping inside me, Oliver?

 

When I glared at him fiercely, Edgar quickly said let’s go to school and got in the carriage.

 

* * *

 

School was a fun place.

 

“What’s your name? I’m Lilliana.”

 

It was full of friends I’d never seen before.

 

“Wooow! This is so amazing!”

 

There was even a glass orb that turned purple when I put my hand on it.

 

Of course the classes were boring, but I could tolerate that much.

 

There was also snack time between 2nd and 3rd period, so I was busy playing with my new friends.

 

So even though I was separated from Edgar and assigned to a different class alone, I wasn’t lonely.

 

“Florence. We promised to go see the rabbits they raise behind the school together tomorrow, right?”

 

“Okay. See you tomorrow, Lilliana!”

 

“Joseph, Diana, David. Let’s have fun playing card games during snack time tomorrow too! Bye!”

 

After saying goodbye to my new friends, I ran to Edgar’s classroom.

 

Helene from another class had come first and was sitting under the back door.

 

“Helene. Why are you sitting—”

 

“Shh!”

 

Helene told me to be quiet and pulled me down to sit.

 

“Look at that.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Through the slightly open door crack, I could see the class kids surrounding Edgar and Chris.

 

Chris was sniffling and crying next to Edgar, and Edgar looked angrier than when I caught a spider and held it in front of his face.

 

“So what if Chris stutters. He only stutters but he’s kind and smart, while you’re stupid and can’t even speak properly.”

 

“What? Are you done talking? What’s wrong with how I speak!”

 

“Didn’t you just mispronounce something? You’re from the Empire but can’t even use the Empire’s language properly, what are you going to do about it.”

 

“You, you, you…”

 

“Ah. Now you’re stuttering. You’re not qualified to make fun of Chris. Because you’re a hundred times worse than Chris.”

 

When Edgar sneered, the opponent who lost the momentum to retort finally started using a very traditional method.

 

“Do you know how old our brother is? Our brother is 12 years old!”

 

“Our brother is over twenty. How childish.”

 

“I, I… I’m going to tell our mom and dad!”

 

For the first time, Edgar flinched.

 

‘How underhanded!’

 

Bringing up mom and dad!

 

When I tried to wake up Oliver who had been sealed, Helene grabbed me and stopped me.

 

“Fine. Go tell them. Let’s see who did wrong first!”

 

“Th, that’s… wh, waaahhh!”

 

Unable to find any opening against Edgar’s relentless verbal skills, his opponent began crying like the seven or eight-year-old he was.

 

Then the other kids chimed in one by one.

 

“Edgar. We’re not going to play with a bad kid like you!”

 

“I don’t want to hang out with you guys either, so don’t talk to me anymore. Let’s go, Chris.”

 

As Edgar packed his bag, Helene and I hurriedly escaped to another classroom.

 

Chris was in a state where his eyes were swollen from crying, so it seemed we shouldn’t acknowledge him.

 

But unfortunately, the two of them had a conversation right in front of the classroom where we were hiding.

 

“Be, because of me… so, sorry.”

 

“Idiot! For something like this, you don’t say sorry, you say thank you!”

 

“Th, thank you, Edgar. For taking my side, I’m re, really grateful.”

 

“We’re friends. It’s only natural.”

 

Edgar answered curtly.

 

I covered my mouth with my palm and stomped my feet on the floor.

 

Helene was no different. We hadn’t expected Edgar, who was stingy with expressions, to say something like that.

 

‘Helene. Did you hear that?’

 

‘I heard it! Let’s definitely tease him about it later!’

 

‘Okay!’

 

While we were exchanging glances, Chris opened his mouth.

 

“…Ed, Edgar is good at everything… but I don’t think I’m go, good at anything.”

 

“That’s not true. Today in our class, you were the only one whose glass bead glowed yellow. There must be something special about you.”

 

While we were listening intently, suddenly the door slid open and Edgar appeared with fierce eyes.

 

“Ahhhhh!”

 

“Wahhh!”

 

“I could hear all your laughter, you know?”

 

When Edgar charged at us, we ran away giggling.

 

When we were about to be caught by Edgar, we hid behind Chris and shouted.

 

“Let’s go home now! Sister Regina said she’d make something delicious today!”

 

“Gr, great! The co, cookies that Lady Regina makes are the mo, most delicious!”

 

“Right. And our sister is also good at braiding hair. Did you come with your hair down today because brother-in-law couldn’t braid it?”

 

“Li, Lilliana is pretty even with her hair down.”

 

“Chris… you’re the best!”

 

I decided to give Chris one of my chocolate almond cookies.

 

* * *

 

A new member joined the Magic Tower. A new mage filled the spot that Gabriella had left.

 

“Please call me Hugo.”

 

Hugo had dark tanned skin and a burly muscular build, so just looking at his appearance, he seemed more like a swordsman than a mage.

 

Clap clap clap clap clap.

 

Emilia, who was clapping, was the most enthusiastic I’d ever seen her.

 

Francois’s eyebrows unconsciously rose crookedly.

 

I think he only acted like that when doing research on Lilliana.

 

‘When he blessed me every evening, he had dead fish eyes.’

 

Though I felt strangely disappointed, Francois lightly pushed the thought away.

 

There was a lot of work to do, and he didn’t want to waste energy worrying about Emilia.

 

But that dissatisfaction surged up again during lunch. Of course, having evolved a bit more.
