“Fr, friends!?”
“Yup, friends. I’m Halt, third son of the House of Count Silveray. Would you be my friend?”
“Well, ahm, even if you tell to be friends with an aristocrat… that is…”
“Oh, then I’ll just report the matter of being called an “idiot” to Father.”
“Please do not do that! Oy, you shouldn’t blackmail soone to be your pal –oops, pl, please pardon !”
“Ohh, so you’re okay with being friends, yes? And that’s how you normally speak, right? Let’s drop the formalities, since we’re pals.”
“Ahh.. can’t help this.. Yep, I get it, I’m Luke, nice to et yah.”
“Yeah, likewise.”
When I reached out my hand, Luke rubbed his hand on his robe first before shaking mine.
Sohow, he’s a really great guy who pays attention to details.
“Ahm, excuse ..I also want to get along with both of you.”
Hesitatingly, the female student I helped earlier tried to converse with us, albeit a little shyly.
Of course there’s no reason to refuse.
“You also want to be friends with us, right. I’m Halt, and this is my best friend Luke.”
“Oy, why are you the one introducing !? And what’s this about best friends!?”
I just got to know Luke’s na but I dunno why, I called him my best friend. Our interactions were amusing, so I guess it slipped.
Being called that way, Luke looked flustered and embarrassed, but since there’s no malicious intent in his words, there’s no problem.
“I am called Luna. Please take care of .”
“Yeah, nice to et you, too.”
“Hey, nice to et you.”
With this, I made two friends. If Tina were to hear about this, I’m sure she’ll be extrely happy. Tina’s worried whether I could make friends in school.
With that in mind, I headed to the entrance ceremony hall with Luke and Luna.
──***──
The entrance ceremony ended quite early.
With Luke and Luna in tow, I hurried towards the area of the school grounds where my house was supposedly built. I wanted to introduce them to Tina as soon as possible, so I walked hurriedly in large strides.
“Whoa, the Count’s Residence is truly incredible. To be able to build a house on the school grounds- they’re quite sothing.”
“And there is a maid, too. If I’m not mistaken, not even parents can enter the school premises aside from the students.”
“Hehe isn’t it amazing.”
I may sound like I’m bragging, but I’m getting anxious in my heart. It’s because I can’t find my house. It’s supposed to be near this area according to the map Tina gave but….
“Hey, Halt, not sure about this, but is that your house?”
“Eh?”
In the direction Luke pointed to, there stood a mansion large enough to accommodate a few dozens of students. Though its size was only one-fifth of the Silveray Mansion where I lived, it was a stately mansion complete with a garden- completely different from the buildings in the school premises.
The word [Silveray] was engraved on the gates.
……… Seriously?
I thought I would be given a small bungalow, sothing similar to what I had lived in in my previous world, and even if it had many rooms it would be approximately the size of two LDK (living room with a dining room-kitchen area).
“Wow, the Count is marvelous!”
Luna was stunned.
I’m shocked, too.
Since there’s nothing to be done about it even if we stand outside, I took Luke and Luna and headed to the mansion. I rang the bell at the gate, and Tina appeared from inside after a while.
“Welco ho, Halt-sama.”
“I’m ho, Tina.”
“Halt-sama, may I know who these persons are?”
“Ah, I’ll introduce them to you. They’re new friends I made today. This is Luke, and she’s Luna.”
“My na is Luke. Please take care of .”
“It is nice to be your acquaintance. My na is Luna.”
“Wow, Halt-sama, you were able to make new friends, congratulations!”
“Yeah, thanks! Well, since we’re already here, is it okay for Luke and Luna to join us for dinner?”
“Why, of course. I will prepare imdiately. Please enjoy yourselves in the living room.”
“Yes!”
When Tina went off to the kitchen, I realized I don’t know where the living room is, so we walked through the mansion and checked out the rooms. Finally, when we found a room that looks like it would be the living room, we sat down, but Tina ca right then and called us for dinner.
The mansion is too huge.
Since there’s only Tina and I living in this mansion, there will definitely be rooms that will not be used, so I contemplated on suggesting that Luke and Luna live here as well.
The dinner Tina made was still as delicious as ever.
Luke and Luna looked satisfied, too.
After dinner, Luke and Luna said they needed to return to their dormitories, so I made a promise with them to go to our classrooms together. A lot of things happened, but it was a fulfilling first day in the academy of magic. Tomorrow, magic lessons will comnce.
I’m excited.
But prior to that event, there will be a class announcent. I hope I’ll beco classmates with Luke and Luna, if possible. After expressing that to Tina, she went out to go sowhere.
It took almost an hour before she returned, and even if I asked her where she went, she just smiled mysteriously and refused to answer.
──＊＊＊──
The next morning, when I reached our eting place, Luke and Luna were already waiting.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
“Nope, you’re right on ti.”
“Yes, I also just arrived.”
“I’m relieved if that’s the case. I hope we’ll be in the sa class.”
“It might be difficult for all three of us to be together. There are 30 classes.”
There are 300 students admitted this year. Since each class has ten students, the number of classes beca 30. It might really be hopeless for the three of us to be in the sa class.
“Can Halt do sothing about this with the Count’s influence?”
“Hmm, it’s impossible. It’s just yesterday that we beca friends. I didn’t have enough ti to prepare for that.”
“Yeah, that’s possible.”
“Yes that’s true.”
I think if I request Father, who spoils , and even built a stately mansion within the school premises just for , he can probably tamper the class’s roster.
But, as expected nothing can be done since it’s just yesterday. With that in mind, we headed to the bulletin board where the classes are posted.
──＊＊＊──
Let say the result.
All three of us landed in the sa class.
It seems like sobody erased the other students’ nas and then rewrote ours-all three of us- right on top. I could read the na written previously.
One of the erased nas suspiciously looked like “Nard”, that son of Baron Zordee who was involved in the incident with Luna yesterday.
Ah, well, let’s just leave the small details be.
I just need to be happy now since I’m in the sa class with Luke and Luna.
“For all three of us to be in the sa class…You did use the Count’s power after all, right?”
“I didn’t do anything. Besides, why is it only our class who don’t have a horoom teacher?”
“Oh, you’re right. The other classes have their respective advisers written on the roster.”
It’s as if our class’s horoom teacher’s na had been erased.
I have a feeling that sothing’s going to happen.
But, there’s no use thinking about it now.
Anyway, when the lesson starts, we’ll know who our adviser is. Together with Luke and Luna, we walked towards the classroom.
