Gift

I’m sitting in a seat at the school entrance ceremony’s assembly hall by myself.
While looking at the ring that’s being worn on my left hand’s middle finger.

◇◇◇

We followed Vice-Headmaster Melody and arrived at the Headmaster Office.
Although Ferris snapped back along the way, she’s now beet red with embarrassment and she won’t speak to me.
Vice-Headmaster Melody who doesn’t know the circumstances is tilting her head.

“Alright then, we are going in~.
Headmaster, we are coming in~”

Vice-Headmaster Melody enters right after she knocks.
I guess there’s already a tacit understanding for something like this huh.

“Ou, you’re here, Lei.
And Ferris as well while we’re at it, eh, what’s the matter, your face is so red.
Were you sexually harassed by Lei or something?”

Shishou teases us in her usual manner.
Ferris answers loudly, ‘I am fine!’ but, it looks suspicious instead.

“Well, whatever.
It’s because I have something to give to Lei that I called you over this time.
First of all, it’s this”

What I was given when she said that was a silver ring.
I’ve seen it somewhere before.
This, could it be

“Shishou.
This is……”

“That is, as you can see, a ring-style Item Box.
An exceptional item that storage space increases in proportion to your magic power quantity.
This is a congratulatory gift from me for entering the academy”

Item Box, she said! How can this person hand over such an expensive item without batting an eyelid!

“Shishou! I cannot accept such an expensive item”

Shishou who makes a puzzled look when I try to return it.
Wh, what is it?

“Lei, didn’t you hear from Alexia? The ring-style Item Box that Alexia possesses is also something I gave.
There’s a Magic Craft Engineer who can use Space Magic in my connections.
He’s an elf and an eccentric old man but his skill is quite something, I have him make it whenever my disciple reaches a milestone.
It seems it’s fairly difficult to make so he can only make about one every couple of years though”

Shishou says and laughs.
Th, then it’s fine, right?

“Hora, wear it and try putting magic power into it.
When you do, the transparent magic stone attached to the front of the ring should glow blue.
If it’s in that state then you are able to stow and retrieve items.
When you want to put something it in, you can stow it if you touch what you want to put inside to the magic stone, when you want to retrieve something, it will come out if you recall what you want to retrieve.
But if you forget what you put inside then you will be unable to take it out so be careful.
After that, it’s this”

And then another thing that was handed over to me from Shishou was……a letter.

“Uh, this letter is?”

“That’s from Sieg.
He sent it to me saying he wants me to hand it over on the day of Lei’s school entrance ceremony.
I suppose it’s probably because he can’t come”

From Sieg huh.
I immediately open the letter’s seal.
Inside were two pieces of letters.
They are from Sieg and Eris.
I immediately read from Sieg’s.

ーーーーーーーーーー

To Lei

Are you doing well?

Well, I’ve seen the letters you occasionally send so I think you’re fine though.

Your future wives are also around you so you’re fine, right.

We send letters usually as well so there isn’t really anything to go out of the way to write this time but, like when your other siblings entered school, I will gift you a weapon as well.
You can use it to improve yourself, you can also use the weapon you are used to using normally.

Since whether it’s something you’re used to using or not can make a difference between life and death.

What I sent you is, of course, a spear.

Demon Spear Rolgar

That’s the name of the spear that I gifted you.
It’s a spear made from the fang of the Belfang Wolf that’s said to have even bitten the flying dragon that lives in the Demon’s Land to death, it boasts quite the strength.

I suppose it won’t break like the spears until now no matter how much Magic Endowment you use on it.
Since it apparently becomes harder the more magic power is poured into it.

Well, use it.

I think that an academy is a place for encounters.
Of course, taking lessons and such are also important.
However, I think that above that, it’s also important to associate with other students.

Whether it’s……a girl you think you like from the bottom of your heart.
A close friend who you can entrust your back to, a rival to compete with yourself.
There are things that you can understand of each other precisely because you are of the same age as well.

Look for comrades in the academy that you can come to think of as important to you.

Well, I don’t know what’s going to happen if you increase the number of women too much though!

I pray for you to return safely.

Really, even though nice things were written until halfway through, that father.
I smile as I fold Sieg’s letter.
And then Eris’ letter is next.

ーーーーーーーーーー

To Lei

I wonder if you are doing well.

Did you overwork your body? Did you properly cover your blanket when you sleep? Did you eat every meal?

I think, ‘Aa, he’s fine huh’ when I see the letters Lei sends but, I feel uneasy if I don’t actually see it for myself.

I really wanted to go to the school entrance ceremony as well but, I can’t bring the child along on that long journey because the child was just born.

Aa, come to think of it, I wonder if I didn’t say it.
Your little sister was born!

Her name is Krissha・Runwalker.
I guess she’s soon to be 1 years old by the time you are reading this letter.

After you were not around, I did my best with Sieg at night in order to distract myself from the loneliness and we made her.

Although it was slightly difficult to give birth to a child at this age, as I thought, your own child is adorable huh.
You as well, don’t just keep increasing your wives, quickly show me a grandchild.

And then come back occasionally, alright.
Both Filia and Chrona are feeling lonely.
Krissha is also going to be raised with her not knowing her Onii-chan’s face.

I am looking forward to the day when we can meet, again.

From Erislet

……Huh?

……I got another little sister?

“What’s the matter, Lei? You’re making an astonished look”

Ferris who perhaps felt that my state was odd, looks at me like she’s peeking into me.

“Fe, Ferris.
Li, listen calmly, okay?”

“Wh, what? Was something serious written in it or something?”

Ferris worries for me.
Well, it doesn’t change that it’s something serious though.

“I got another little sister……”

“Huh?”

Ferris’ jaw dropped as well the moment she heard that.
It’s surprising huh.

“It’s a girl and her name is Krissha”

“Eh? A sister, does that mean the Margrave got a Fourth Madam?”

I shake my head and tell her the truth.

“Hahaue gave birth to her.
A little sister with the same parents as Filia and I”

“Eeeeeh!”

Looks like Ferris is shocked as well.
But because Shishou looks at me with a self-satisfied look so I guess she knew.
I wonder if Aerith knows about this matter? Madam Eliza and the others as well.

“Well, it’s great, isn’t it.
Your family member increased.
It’s better to have more family members.
Right?”

Shishou says and throws a spear that’s wrapped in cloth to me.
This is the spear that’s written in Sieg’s letter huh.

“Well, I agree though.
Oops, this is from Chichiue?”

“That’s right.
Demon Spear Rolgar.
The Belfang Wolf is interesting, it passes magic power through the fang and bites its prey to death but, it absorbs the magic power on that occasion.
And then it becomes a firmer fang.
I guess the spear will also become harder the more Lei uses it”

I see.
It’s a spear that doesn’t break the more I use it huh.
It’s true that it’s my style to apply Weapon Endowment so it’s a necessary weapon.
And then I immediately put Rolgar away into the Item Box I received.
Ooo! The moment I passed magic power through the ring and contacted it with Rolgar, it disappeared like it was absorbed.
Furthermore, I don’t feel the weight as well.
This is convenient.

“Now, it’s almost time for the school entrance ceremony.
Lei will go to the assembly hall, Ferris will go to the classroom”

“Yes, thank you for the Item Box.
I will use with great care!”

I give my thanks and leave the Headmaster Office.
I part with Ferris here.

“Alright then, see you at night, Lei”

“Aa, you do your best as well, Ferris”

◇◇◇

And then now at the assembly hall’s seat.
Around me, youngsters who wear red lined uniforms are entering one after another.
I am watching while thinking, ‘how youthful~’ when,

“Yo! Is the seat beside you alright?”

a guy asks me.
It’s not particularly taken so I give my acknowledgement and, the guy sits, a girl who looks apologetic sits beside him.
Are they friends? Or are they lovers?

“Yo, my name is Dargris.
I came from a slightly rural town.
I’m not that skilful with magic but I think I’m fairly skilled with a sword.
Nice to meet you! And this fellow is my childhood friend, Rene.
This fellow is skilful with magic!”

the guy who starts to talk after he sits.
And then the girl

“Wait a minute, Dargris.
It’s just a nuisance if you speak to him all of a sudden.
I’m sorry.
To speak to you all of a sudden”

“No, it’s fine.
Uh, Rene-san”

“Rene is fine.
Nice to meet you”

and Rene holds out her hand.
Dargris is a muscular-type guy with short tawny hair and about 160 in height, Rene has tawny hair in french braids.
She is a girl with an ordinary figure and about 150 in height.

“My name is Leivelt・Runwalker.
I’m called Lei by the people around me.
Nice to meet you”

And I hold my hand out as well and shake hands.
And then Dargris as well.

“You have a family name, that means you’re a noble? Sorry, we didn’t know”

“You don’t have to worry about something like that.
Interact with me casually”

When we are talking about something like that,

“All the new students.
The school entrance ceremony begins from now on, please be seated”

Vice-Headmaster Melody starts to speak.
It’s the school entrance ceremony at last huh.
