I'm sitting alone at the entrance ceremony venue. Looking at the ring worn on my middle finger on my left hand.
◇ ◇ ◇
We followed Vice President Melody to the dean's office. Ferris came back on the road, but now it's bright red and he won't talk to me. Vice President Melody, who knows no circumstances, is leaning his neck though.
"Then I'll come in ~. The school director will come in ~"
Vice President Melody goes in as soon as he knocks. Is this area already an implicit understanding or something?
"Whoa, there he is, Ray. What happened to Ferris when he turned his face so bright red? Did Ray sexually harass you?
and teasing masters at their usual condition. Ferris is fine! And I answer aloud, but the other way around, it's suspicious.
"Well no. This time I called because I have something to give Ray. Let's start with this."
That's what they told me. It was a silver ring. I've seen it somewhere. Could this be it?
"Master. This is..."
"That's a ring-shaped item box, as you can see. Excellent addition to your magic built-in amount. This is an admission celebration from me."
An item box! Why are you giving me such expensive stuff? This guy!
"Master! You can't have such expensive things!
Master who looks surprised when I try to give it back. Hey, what?
"Ray, didn't Alexia tell you? I gave Alexia the ring shaped item box. There's a magician in my tuxedo who can use space magic. He's an elf and a bigoted grandfather, but his arms are pretty good, and he makes them every time my apprentice marks a milestone. It's hard to make inside, so it seems like you can only make about one every few years."
and laughing master. Well, is that good?
"Look, put it on your fingers and try your magic. Then the clear demonic stone on the tip of the ring should glow blue. If it is in that condition, it can be stored and removed. When I put it in, I can store what I want by pulling it into the demon stone, and when I want to take it out, I think of what I want to take out, and it comes out. Just be careful because if you forget what you put in it, you won't be able to take it out. And then this."
And the other thing my master handed me... is a letter.
"Yeah, what about this letter?
"That's from Sieg. He sent it to me to give it to me on Ray's admission day. Maybe he won't be able to come."
From Sieg? I will open the seal of the letter as soon as possible. There were two letters inside. It's from Sieg and Ellis. Read from Sieg quickly.
Uh-huh.
To Ray.
How are you doing?
Well, I'm looking at the letters they send occasionally, so I'm sure they're fine.
Your future wives are all around you, so you'll be fine.
I usually send letters too, so I don't have much to bother writing this time, but I'll give you a weapon just like the other brothers and sisters did when they got into school. You can use it to refine it, or you can of course use a weapon you're used to using from time to time.
If you're used to it or not, life and death will split.
I sent you a spear, of course.
Demon Spear Rowga
That's the name of the spear I gave you. It is a spear made from the fangs of Belfangwolf, who is said to bite and kill even the flying dragons who live in the land of demons, and boasts considerable strength.
No matter how magical it is, it will never break like previous spears. Sounds like the magic will make it harder.
Well, use it.
I believe that school is a meeting place. Of course, it's important to do classes. But I think it's more important to engage with other students than that.
Do you have a woman you think you really like? A best friend who can keep his back, a competitor who can compete with himself. Sometimes we can tell because we're the same age.
It's about finding people in school that you think are important to you.
Well, women don't know what happens when there are too many!
I hope you're back safely.
From Sieghardt.
Uh-huh.
Even though it says good things on the way to the real thing, that dad... I laugh and scream at Sieg's letter. And then Ellis' letter.
Uh-huh.
To Ray.
How are you?
Are you feeling unwell? Sleeping in a proper futon? Do you eat every meal?
Look at the letter Ray sends me. Oh, I think you're okay, but I'd be anxious if I didn't actually see it.
I really wanted to go to the entrance ceremony, but I just had a baby, so I couldn't take you on that long trip.
Oh, speaking of which, I guess I didn't say it. Your sister was born!
His name is Chrissia Runwalker. By the time you were reading this letter, you were almost a year old.
After you were gone, I did my best to spend the night with Sieg to distract the loneliness.
Having kids at this age was a little tough, but I knew my kids were cute. Don't just add more wives, too, show your grandchildren quickly.
Then come back sometimes. Phyllia and Krona are missing each other. Chrissia will grow up not knowing your brother's face either.
I'm looking forward to seeing you again.
From Ellisette.
Uh-huh.
... Huh?
... you said you had a sister?
"What's going on, Ray? Look surprised."
You wondered how I was. I'm going to see Ferris peek in.
"F., Ferris. Calm down and listen to me, will you?
"Hey, what's up? Did it say anything terrible?
Ferris worries me. Well, it hasn't changed a lot.
"I have a sister..."
"What?"
Ferris also becomes a poker face the moment he hears it. That's surprising.
"She said her gender was a girl and her name was Chrysia."
"What? Did my sister even make Borderline Uncle, the Fourth Lady?
I shake my head and tell the truth.
"My mother gave birth. I'm gonna be the same parent's sister as me and Filia."
"Yeah, yeah!
Ferris sounds surprised, too. I guess the master just knew the truth because he would often see it in his face. Does Aeris know about this? Also Mrs. Eliza and others.
"Well, good for you. More family. I'd rather have more family. Don't you?"
So the master throws a spear wrapped in cloth. Is this the spear that Zeke wrote in his letter?
"Well, you're right. Is this from your father?
"That's right. Demon Spear Rowga. Belfangwolf isn't funny, he bites and kills prey through magic in his fangs, but he absorbs magic in doing so. And it becomes a stronger fang. The more Ray uses it, the harder the spear will get."
I see. The more you use it, the more spears you won't break. Certainly a weapon that I would need in my style. And I get a lowga in the item box that I got quickly. Whoa! The moment I put a lowga through my magic on the ring, it stopped to be sucked in. And I don't even feel the weight. This is convenient.
"Come on, it's time for the entrance ceremony. Ray goes to the venue, Ferris goes to the classroom."
"Yes, thank you for the item box. I will use it dearly!
I'm leaving the dean's office. I say goodbye to Ferris here.
"See you at night, Ray."
"Oh, and good luck with Ferris."
◇ ◇ ◇
And seats in the venue now. Boys and girls in uniform with red lines keep coming in around. Seeing as I thought it was a novelty,
"Ooh! Neighbor's seat, okay?
and a man asks. Admittedly, it's not even open in particular, and a man sits, and a girl sits next to him looking sorry. Is it between friends? Or is it between lovers?
"Hey, my name is Douglas. I just came from a village in the country. I'm not very good at magic, but I think the sword is pretty good at it. Nice to meet you! This is my childhood trainee, Lene. This guy's good at magic!
and a man who sits in his seat and then starts talking. And the girl...
"Hey, Douglis. I'm just having trouble talking to you all of a sudden. I'm sorry. Talk to me all of a sudden."
"No, I'm fine. Yes, Mr. Raine."
"It's fine with Lene. Nice to meet you."
and laine coming to offer her hand. Douglis has short brown hair and about 160 muscular men, and Rene has three long braids with brown hair. She is a girl in normal shape and about 150 tall.
"My name is Ravelt Runwalker. They call me Ray from around here. Greetings."
That's how I give and shake my hand. And Douglis, too.
"Does having a family name mean nobility? I'm sorry, we didn't know."
"You don't have to worry about that. Feel free to treat me."
When we're talking about that,
"Dear Admissions, Please take your seats as we begin the entrance ceremony."
Vice President Melody speaks out. Finally an entrance ceremony?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
I'm sitting alone at the entrance ceremony venue. Looking at the ring worn on my middle finger on my left hand.
