Chapter 62: Day of the Physical
From then on I went to school while using my thread manipulation to reinforce my body and kept exercising like that. After being sent to the infirmary on the first day so suddenly, it seems I’ve gained a reputation as a frail sheltered girl.
“Lord Lyell raised her too carefully after all…” “Hey, I’ve seen her frequenting the music room after school.” “The music room?” “A short while later you could hear a beautiful violin ring out.” “Ohhh? As you’d expect, the hero’s daughter is quite refined.”
Sohow the violin performance Letina gave that day was accredited to . As first years, our musical education only got as far as learning the basics of a recorder, if I tried to play it’d just be a ss.
Fixing each of these misunderstandings would just be a pain, so I didn’t. I just kept knitting in my seat. Knitting helped increase my dexterity with my fingertips, thus it was effective training for my thread manipulation. Anyways, the scarves and sweaters make good gifts, so it’s killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, there’s a ton of scarves and sweaters laid out around the house. There are even mittens in so of the more elaborate spots.
Well, you could say the main reason I’m knitting right now is cause I lost to Cortina’s greedy gaze. The cause was pretty simple, thanks to Lyell and Maria showing up suddenly and bragging to Cortina about them, she suddenly decided she wanted one too and pressured into making her one. Of course, she’s not extorting it from , but it’s hard to decline a request from your landlord.
Thanks to that though, I’ve been stuck knitting since the morning. Seeing diligently knitting at my desk, Letina gave a curious look, “How strange, seeing you do sothing so lady-like.” “How rude. Or rather, knitting isn’t especially a feminine thing.”
Even in my previous life, I’d always work on training my dexterity like this outside the public eye, mainly nding clothes along with Maria. By the way, this is beyond Lyell, Gadius, and even Cortina. Maxwell can’t even thread a needle with his presbyopia so it’s not feasible for him either.
anwhile, the whole ti I’ve been sitting here knitting I feel like everyone’s been eyeing enviously. Speaking of, for so reason they don’t seem to be looking right now?
“By the way, do you not have to get ready?” “Huh? What do you an?” Hearing her say that, I looked up. That’s when I realized everyone was restlessly changing out while waiting.
“Uh… Why is everyone changing clothes?”
Boys and girls are changing in the sa room but they’re all under 10 so it’s not a big deal. Letina who ca over to talk was just wearing her underpants. Yup, they were a splendid pair of pumpkin shorts.
“Today’s the day of the physical isn’t it?” “Oh, was it?”
The content of our lessons were just general education, history of the country, and studying the alphabet, so I often ignore class, I might’ve skipped any ntion of a physical as a result of that. I didn’t want to be the only late one, so I quickly put up my knitting equipnt into my bag and started changing. It’s pretty easy since it’s just a jacket, shirt, and skirt.
For a girl, it’s a slightly immodest behavior but I’m a kid anyway. Since we don’t even get a changing room at this age, I’m not worried about it.
“Speaking of, don’t you have your examination after school today?” “Examination… Oooh, from the other day.” “Yeah. The complete physical.”
After hearing about having a full checkup, the other students started getting noisy. The girls started approaching nervously to ask about it.
“Ummm… Nicole, are you unwell?” “Err… I get tired easily, so we decided it would be a good idea to get checked out at least once.”
She had a worried aura standing in front of with her hands joined together, she looked like a little puppy, but not the cheerful kind like Michelle, more like a spoiled pup.
“Um… Sorry, what was your na…?” “Ah, right. I haven’t introduced myself yet. My na is Matisse Holton, daughter of the Holton group.” “Oh, them.”
They’re a big company in Raum. I relied on them several tis in my previous life when I visited the country. I see, this is the daughter of the young master’s daughter from back then.
“Feels like so long ago.” “Huh, excuse ?” “Oh, don’t worry. Thank you for your concern though.”
I offered her my right hand for a shake, she timidly reciprocated. Hmm, her pale white skin was soft, she shows great promise but for now she’s out of my strike zone though.
“Umm, is it fine if we beco friends?” “Of course. I’d be glad, my only friend so far has been Michelle?” “Hey, and ?”
Letina started kicking up a fuss behind . If I had to say, I consider you a troubleso henchman. At this point, Cortina busted through the door.
“Alright, you guys. Looks like you’re good and ready. Let’s go take your asurents now!” “Miss Cortina, why are you so hyped…” “I’ll be sure to properly take you girls’ bust sizes.” “No, I’m still not that big.” “You boys better get a good look now while you can, you won’t get a chance in the future.”
And imdiately following Cortina’s statent all the boys’ eyes converged on . As expected, their gaze caused to break out in goosebumps and I reflexively covered my chest.
“…Cortina, don’t say unnecessary things.” “Ahaha, my bad.”
She’s as noisy as ever, except when she’s on the battlefield. We started moving towards the place we’d get our physicals as I heaved a sigh.
