Chapter 67: I Made a New Friend

"Phew... that was quite a tense class, wasn't it?"

After the Magic Theory class ended, Viola stretched both of her arms toward the ceiling.

Ms. Carder's classes were intense, and she always threw questions at you if you let your guard down.

"Still, it was quite understandable, wasn't it? And she really paid attention to the students."

Primula followed up from the seat across.

For Primula, who was serious and good at theoretical study, Ms. Carder's high-level class seemed to be enjoyable.

"Yeah, I think so too. If you don't watch the students closely, you can't accurately catch their weaknesses."

Pointing out the students who were letting their guard down indicates that she's observing the students carefully.

She also responded accurately to students' questions, and it's clear that she's well-prepared for the class. She's a good teacher in her own way.

"The next class is 'Magic Acquisition.' It's in a different classroom, so we should hurry."

Yuri stood up from the nearby seat and urged Rest and the others.

The next class was also a compulsory subject: 'Magic Acquisition.'

As the name suggests, it's a subject for acquiring new magic.

Rest, Viola, Primula, and Yuri moved to another classroom together.

The destination was the 'Magic Experiment Room.' It was a room that resembled a slightly spacious science lab.

Several rectangular tables were set up, and they chose one to sit at.

After Rest and the others sat at the table for a while, other classmates gathered, and the chairs in the classroom began to fill up.

"Sorry, is this seat taken?"

"Um, excuse me."

Two people appeared at the table where Rest and the others were sitting.

Their names were... 

"Ruido Gistal, and Jewel Eazle."

"Ruido is fine. We're classmates, right?"

"Jewel is fine..."

"I'm Rest."

"I'm Viola Rosemary."

"I'm Primula Rosemary."

"I'm Yuri Catreya. Just call me Yuri."

They introduced themselves in turn to the two new classmates.

"Oh, of course, I know you two. Rosemary and Catreya, right? It's quite a combination when I think about it again. If Crocus were added to the mix, the three pillars of politics, sword, and magic would be complete, wouldn't they?"

Ruido, the boy, said with a cheerful smile.

He was a boy with short chestnut hair and a refreshing face.

He had piercings on his ears, and although he seemed lively, there was a somewhat mischievous air about him.

"R-Ruido-kun, that's rude, isn't it?"

On the other hand, Jewel, the girl, had long, quirky gray hair and wore glasses.

She gave off an introverted vibe and seemed overall quiet, with freckles around her nose.

"Just because our territories are adjacent doesn't mean anything. Childhood friends... No, I guess 'frenemies' would be more accurate?"

"Ruido has been bullying me since we were kids. He's really mean."

"Hey... bullying? I just showed her some bugs I caught! It's because you're always cooped up in your room reading books..."

"Ah... Well, I feel like I understand your relationship."

Watching their exchange, Rest chuckled.

Despite their poor relationship, they strangely seemed to get along well... It might be like the cat and mouse relationships in American cartoons.

"So, you two are the Rosemary sisters' and their fiance, right? It's been talked about. The beautiful sisters from a magical family are getting close to a guy."

"Yes, that's right. Rest is our fiance."

"We're very close."

Viola and Prilmula clung to Rest's arms from both sides and declared.

Some kind of sigh-like murmur arose from the other students around the table who had been listening to the conversation.

"Oh, what's going on?"

"Well... Viola-san, all the boys in this class were after you two, you know?"

Jewel spoke timidly.

"Many students in the Magic Department aim to become court magicians. The Rosemary family, considered a prestigious family of magicians, holds the position of Chief Court Magician. Knowing that the rumored sisters would be in the same grade, I think many people were hoping to get closer to them..."

"Oh... so they were concerned about our relationship with Rest."

Viola chuckled wryly, and Primula also made a subtle expression.

Many students in the Magic Department were targeting the Rosemary sisters.

They must have been surprised and disappointed to see the sisters appearing arm in arm with a man from the first day of school.

"It's a bit embarrassing to think of myself as a trophy..."

"It's better for us to keep close to Rest in our actions. We need to make it clear who owns me and my sister."

The two clung to Rest and tightened their grip on his arms.

The despair of the boys in the class around them became even stronger.

"You guys really get along well. It's enviable."

Yuri looked at the three of them with a smile.

"I also want a wonderful husband as soon as possible. Is there a good man anywhere?"

"..........!"

Under Yuri's bombshell statement, the boys around them began to murmur.

Although the Catreya family was not a magical lineage like the Rosemary Marquis family, they were also a reputable noble family.

Among the noble students, many hoped to be connected to the Marquis family.

"Y-Yuri-san..."

"...Yuri, it seems like there are many things you need to study."

Jewel blushed red, and Viola sighed in exasperation.

"Catreya-san, are you really available...?!"

"Since I have an older brother, I can't become an adopted son-in-law, but it's significant to be connected to the Catreya family..."

"Haa, haa, Yuri-tan, you're so foolishly cute...!"

The chaos caused by Yuri's statement spread throughout the classroom like ripples, and it didn't settle down until the class started.
