94 – Luden(1)

Dear friend Damien.

Oh, I told you not to use this expression. I’m sorry.

But if I erase it now, the paper will get dirty, so I’ll just leave it there. It’s annoying to find new paper.

As I pointed out in my last reply, I said that the first words were too cringy, but as soon as I got the pen in my hand, I wrote it like this without even realizing it. It’s already a habit, so it’s not easy to fix. Habits are really scary. If there are any loose expressions in between, I want you to filter this out.

By the way, it’s been almost a year since we started exchanging letters.

It’s quite annoying to play with the pen outside of work, but it was a fun time in its own way. My father didn’t ask me to make friends for nothing. Thanks to you, it was nice to have one more breathing hole in this stuffy place.

Of course, it hurts a little every time I remember that the recipients of my letters are not beautiful ladies, but men like you, but I was able to come up with an excuse to take a break.

As you know, my father tends to be a little tight on his kids, but he’s a little lenient in this regard.

Judging by the fact that he is slowly pulling me out of work, it seems that he is planning to focus on his studies from this year onwards. No matter how close the academy is to the imperial palace, honestly, isn’t it too conscienceless to combine study and work?

Well, let’s stop the editorial at this point and move on to the topic we talked about last time.

I agree with the opinion that rats can remain in the ecliptic.

Maybe some of the ministers who annoy me every time are their liaisons. Oh, this is no joke. It’s a conclusion I came to after thinking on my own. It’s only a heart attack, but it’s a problem.

Still, it was something I hadn’t even thought about at the academy.

That’s right, where is Estelia Academy? Isn’t it a place called the sanctuary of learning along with the seven magic towers? It was a place where the requirements of the faculty and staff were strict and only those who had been thoroughly verified could enter, so they thought about leaving it out.

But this time, when I cleaned the house myself, I realized something. That they’re hiding in places you never expect. Well, since they are as old as the history of the imperial family, no matter how many academies there are, there could be a few of them going in and pretending to be professors. Shouldn’t that be enough to keep those tough lives up until now?

As the time to enter the academy got closer, there were so many different requests for payment.

Naturally, when a new semester begins, the first thing that comes up is related to funds. Among them, we have selected those who have recently gone out of the ecliptic or whose reason for going out is unclear.

It was a bit of a cumbersome task since there were not just one or two faculty members, but the scope was expanded to include part-time lecturers and daily workers, but I was worried about sharing it with Noel, so I ended up doing it alone.

Oh, this is not particularly condescending.

After all, the characters written here are simply those who are suspicious. Let’s think about this after you come to Luden. Anyway, here’s what I wrote down:

Full professor of the Department of Tactics, Faculty of Knights. Nielsen Feiler (42)

Assistant Professor of the Department of Spear Art, Faculty of Knights. Jessica Hunt (26)

Full professor of chivalry theory at the Faculty of Knights. Leopold Uber (36)

.

.

.

Full professor of alchemy at the Faculty of Magic. Philippus Farkel (45)

Assistant Professor of the Department of Alchemy, Faculty of Magic. Altman Edelweiss (24)

Among the teachers, this is at least once.

There seems to be a strange name at the end, but let’s get over that.

Well, don’t think it’s too many.

The ones I don’t have are the names I grabbed and wrote down, so of course there are a lot of names written down. It’s not like the imperial family lacks in ability.

However, if you remember, only those who are useful are written down, so don’t forget the names written here. First of all, I wrote it down so that you know the name.

Let’s meet and talk about the newly added day jobs and detailed information about them.

As long as the content is the content, it’s a bit difficult to send it in a letter, and I have to write it myself to put the spelling on it like this one, but it’s a bit difficult to write that much information by hand. You’ll have to come to Luden anyway, so maybe this will be my last letter to you this year.

Next time, my friend, let’s talk in words instead of writing like this.

But don’t just talk too much when you meet.

There is a new board game brought in this time. Because this is a game that requires a lot of brains. At this point, I am confident that I can win even with Miss Elena as a pinch hitter.

Behind it is a letter written by Noel, as always. I don’t think it’s necessary to hang the castle law, so I didn’t hang it, so be careful not to throw it away because I didn’t write it.

Honestly, the content is almost the same as the last time, so I don’t think I need to read it.

not. Please read and write a reply anyway. I think I’ll be bothered if I don’t.

My fingers are starting to hurt.

There are still unfinished stories, but let’s talk about this in a meeting rather than a letter. If someone is sent to the imperial castle, I will go with Noel. Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing you again in Luden as soon as possible.

The passage of time is indeed relative.

Sometimes it seems to go very slowly and other times it seems to go very fast.

Just looking at the pile of letters piled up in front of me right now, that’s the case.

At first, there were only one or two letters, but I am greeted with letters that fill a drawer, making me wonder when time has passed. Considering that they were exchanged at intervals of about two weeks, it is possible to guess how much time has passed since that day until this amount was accumulated.

I close the drawer and turn my head to the window.

The steam on the glass window and the snow falling from the sky beyond it show a different landscape than before.

Even though the seasons have changed three times, I don’t feel that such a long time has passed. Rather, time seemed to pass faster than before.

Someone once said to me that when people feel happy, they feel that time passes faster. It’s not that I wasn’t happy with my father and Alphonse, but the flow of time seems to have accelerated as the element of Elena was added to it.

It seems that bad luck was driven at the beginning of the year, and nothing special happened until winter and the new year dawned.

It’s like a normal daily routine. A series of smooth and happy days without major incidents. These were the most appropriate times to use as examples if I were to think about how I would spend the rest of my life.

If you ask me if there has been any progress in my relationship with Elena, that’s another story, but I won’t include it because every day is special.

I turned over Noel’s letter and looked at the unsealed letter.

On the wax sealing the envelope is a figure of a wolf standing under three stars. The pattern symbolizing the Duke of Edelweiss is engraved.

Looking at this, one would naturally think of Joachim, the head of Edelweiss, as the sender, but surprisingly, this letter was not from Joachim. Wouldn’t the letter from Yoheim in the north come with the letter from Orcus from Luden far away from the north?

“Haa…what is this that makes you so nervous?”

Considering the people of the Edelweiss family who are currently in Luden, it is not difficult to find out who the sender of this letter is.

It’s the name that was written in the letter from Orcus earlier, but now in Luden there is Eltman Edelweiss and his mother, so there is a person who is my mother-in-law and a person who is my brother-in-law.

Because of the personality of the Eltman I know, he won’t write a letter, so this must be a letter from his mother-in-law.

With less than a month left before admission to the academy, Elena and I will be going to Luden soon, so it was natural to think that letters like this would come from Luden’s family first.

It’s just a bit strange, I’ve had many conversations with Yoheim, and I’ve seen him fight so many times, so I’ve gotten used to it to some extent, but I’ve never met my mother-in-law yet, so I think this letter was sent by my mother-in-law. There seemed to be an odd feeling of pressure.

Compared to Eltman and Yoheim in the original work, her weight was rarely mentioned, only occasionally mentioned. This side or that side, for me, is a complete first meeting.

Even at the engagement ceremony, I hadn’t seen her face before, so I even thought that maybe she hated me in the past.

Well, if you hated me, you wouldn’t have allowed the engagement in the first place, right? right?

Last year, Eltman was preparing to graduate from the Golden Tower, so she must have been quite busy as her assistant. Perhaps because of this, he had no choice but to lose contact with Elena as well as Yoheim.

However, now that Eltman has been appointed as an assistant professor at the academy, he must have had some leeway. So I would have sent you a letter like this.

Well, even so, it’s a fairly nonsensical situation for my mother-in-law to contact me now, but what’s really embarrassing is that I don’t have any information about the other person, so there’s no way to know what the other person thinks of me.

The other day, Elena and Joachim said that the rest of my family didn’t see me badly, but can I just believe that?

“Oooh… I can’t open it.”

Of course, knowing that in my head didn’t completely shake off my anxiety, so I couldn’t break the seal on this letter. Of course, I was curious about what was inside, but the trembling that overpowered my curiosity stopped my hands.

I don’t think it was like this even in Yoheim.

It seems that the concept of a mother-in-law comes before the idea of a character, unlike Yoheim, because it does not have much weight in the original novel.

I went to Elena with a letter from Noel and an unopened envelope in one hand.

Just for reference, this is absolutely not about running away.

How could an outsider open the letter before his family? It was absolutely rude for me to read the letter first. I’m sure Elena will also like it since it’s been a while since she’s sent a letter from her mother.

My name is written on the front of the envelope as the addressee, but who knows what’s inside.

“Oh, Damien. My mother says that when I come to Luden, I can stay at the Edelweiss villa, which I am currently living in, rather than the Krause family house. After my brother was appointed, he said that he doesn’t come home very often… Shall we start a little early?”

who did it before Whatever happens will happen anyway, so don’t avoid it, accept it.

It sounds like a perfect fit for my current situation.
