Lucan decided to take a break. He looked at Maris and saw that she wasn't feeling exhausted after two hours of reading, which was good.
"Let's take a break. How about so tea over there?" Lucan said.
"Yes! By the way, I thought the scripture would be more difficult. It was very easy to read and interesting!"
"This is a simplified version for children to study. The original scripture is much thicker and takes days to read."
To beco a priest, one must morize the contents of a dictionary-thick scripture. Learning divine arts is also necessary, so only a select few elites like Lucan can be entrusted with the temple.
Becoming a priest is tough, but once you make it, you're set for life. Lucan started studying early, so he was able to beco a priest at the age of 18.
As the second son of a marquis family, Lucan initially aid for an overpowered reincarnation in another world. However, he quickly faced reality. His physical abilities and magical talents were only average. Compared to commoners, he was quite strong, but as a noble, his abilities were just above average.
Attempting to exploit production cheats also failed. Recreational tools like playing cards and chess already existed, and there was no room to innovate in agriculture or industry. Lacking specialized knowledge from his previous life as a corporate slave gar, Lucan decided to pursue the stable path of a priest.
Lucan felt a bit sad as he thought that if he had known this was a world of gas, then he could have used ga information to make a profit.
"Sigh..."
"Is sothing wrong, Priest?"
"No... It's nothing. Oh, why don't we learn how to make tea while we're at it?"
Lucan took out so tea leaves from the shelf. Maris tilted her head slightly.
"I think I can make tea, though?"
"Making tea for commoners and for nobles is different."
Just as there are specific ways to make tea in business settings, there are proper manners for making tea for nobles. The amount of tea leaves and water, the placent of cups and tea snacks, and the steeping thod are all governed by complex rules. Failure to adhere to these rules results in being considered ill-mannered.
"You might have the chance to attend a tea party with nobles soday. It's good to be prepared."
"I don't think I'll ever have such an opportunity, but if you say so, Priest, I'll do my best!"
When she attends the academy in the capital, she'll interact with upper-class people, including key characters. To avoid being ridiculed as a country bumpkin, she needs to learn table manners and other etiquette.
"I'll also teach you how to use a knife and fork during als. There will be many unfamiliar things, but let's take it slow."
"Yes! I'll do my best!"
Maris nodded firmly, watching Lucan's every move as he made tea.
Lucan continued teaching manners and etiquette without being overly strict. Maris, who was originally quick to learn, mastered the basics alongside her studies. Her naturally beautiful appearance beca even more refined with proper manners.
At this rate, she'll be able to dine more elegantly than I can in a year or two.
In a year or two, she'll beco a lady who can hold her own anywhere. Lucan thought this with the feelings of an investor watching his investnt grow.
