ledge has risen a bit.

The things she was going to teach Elena and Jane were: History, Socio-cultural, Economics, and Politics of the empire.

At first, Elena wondered if one person could teach so many subjects, but the moment she opened her mouth, Elena changed her mind.
Yuri had a tremendous talent for education.
It was easy to understand her lessons thanks to the appropriate examples and analogies that stuck in her ears.

Elena and Jane worked hard in their teacher’s class.

If there was something Elena didn’t know, she would ask questions and absorbed the knowledge through her discussions with Yuri.

“It has been two hours since we started.
Let’s take a break.”

Yuri checked the time and left the room.
Only Elena and Jane remained in the drawing-room which has been converted into a study room.

An awkward silence passed between the two of them.
Since Elena and Jane have never talked before with just the two of them.

‘What if… Should I talk to her first? Otherwise, should I just go out?’

But the Duke of Halos brought Elena to this house to have her and Jane be friends.

‘Wow.
This is awfully awkward though.’

Just as Elena was thinking about this, she heard a soft voice that seemed to roll like jaded marble.

“Excuse me….”

It was Jane.

Elena and Jane were sitting – with distance apart – on a three-seater sofa.
Jane hesitated first but then immediately asked Elena to shake hands.

“I am Jane Oswald.
Miss Elena, right?”

“Ah! Yes.”

When Elena answered Jane and took her hand, Jane’s eyes folded delicately.

In an instant, Elena’s heart raced.

…so precious!

“We’ll be taking classes together in the future, so I hope we can get along.”

“Likewise.”

‘If I could get to know a pretty female protagonist like her, it would be good for me.’

Jane in the original story had her emotions shriveled because of what Killian did, creating a dark atmosphere.
But the present Jane hasn’t yet been hurt by him.
That was why Jane has still a bright disposition.

‘She was originally like this.’

“I always stay with the Earl, so I don’t have any friends close to my age.
So I want to be friends with Miss Elena.”

(Tl note: Jane is pertaining to Killian since most sons of higher aristocrats who haven’t inherited their title yet are addressed by ‘earl’.)

Elena blushed, appearing shy.
The lovely Jane said that she wanted to be her friend.

“It would be an honor for me to be your friend.”

Elena’s response was plain and clear.
But inside, she was crying.

‘Heuk-heuk, she is so pretty.
This is the best.
I will do better in the future.’

Elena was bursting into tears inside, as she continued her awkward conversation with Jane.

The topic of their conversation was irrelevant.
Most of them were about the lifestyle of a commoner or the contents of their classes.

Still, Elena was obviously happy.
It made her quite satisfied to see Jane talking while her cheeks were flushed with pleasure.

For a few minutes the two of them were talking, at some point, Yuri had returned.
Yuri’s class was incredibly fun that it ended without even realizing the passing time.
It was a pity that they only have three classes a week.

‘But the teacher has also a schedule to follow, so there’s nothing we can do about it.’

After her class, Elena separated from Jane and went to the study alone.

The study in the main building of her mansion wasn’t an ordinary study.
It was grand and spacious.
Vast enough to be called a library.

‘The ancestors of the Halos family loved to read books after all.’

With the help of the maids who handled the library, Elena had managed to find the books related to magic.
Magic-related books were few even in this huge library.

‘Maybe it’s related to those wizards who detested humans.’

Anyway, the reason why Elena was searching for magic books was to prepare herself before her magic teacher’s arrival.
Of course, magic wasn’t something that could be learned from books alone, but one could never know.

After she obtained a few books about magic, Elena also sought books about spirits as well.
Because of the spirit – Lani – she met last time; she also has a lot of questions.

However, no matter how much she searched, she couldn’t find a single book about spirits.

‘…why?’

Even the maids in the study said they didn’t know.

Elena held her magic book in her arms as she walked out of the library.
It was a pity that she couldn’t find any books about spirits, but it couldn’t be helped.

Instead, she just told herself: ‘I’ll ask Lani the next time I see it.’

Elena went to her room as she struggled to hide her disappointment.
But she found something in the middle of the hallway leading to her room.

It was a small, fluffy tuft of hair.

‘Oh, that’s…’

Elena walked faster as she recognized it.
Hearing the sound, the wad of hair turned its body, jumping onto her and crying.

[Master!]
