༺ Finding A Place Is Hard! (8) ༻

“All that’s needed is to focus on the mana flowing inside your body and lightly chant. Watch closely. Light.”

Wave—

The little witch in a pointed hat created a shiny bead at the end of her magic wand.

The small bead shone like a lightbulb but popped like a soap bubble soon after.

“How’s that? Impressive, right?”

The little witch straightened her shoulders with confidence.

All the children applauded in admiration.

“It’s amazing that you can cast a one-word spell from the first grade.”

“Hmph, a one-word spell is nothing special to the first graders of our Magic Tower. It seems that you students of Graham Academy still can’t do this?”

The genius girl from the Magic Tower, Morgan.

The little girl with silver hair tied on both sides subtly boasted while looking at the people admiring her.

Her ash-colored eyes under the pointed hat looked at Tywin Cladeco.

Tywin merely wore a neutral expression, even though the little wizard Morgan had cast a spell. No, she rather chuckled.

“A one-circle spell is easy. It’s enough even without a wand.”

Tywin Cladeco.

The first-grade girl who entered Graham Academy at the top of her class opened her palm.

“Light.”

As she lightly cast a one-word spell, a bead floated up.

It was a brighter and larger bead than when Morgan, the top student of the Magic Tower, cast her spell.

“Tywin’s magic is bigger and brighter!”

“Amazing!”

The children admired the genius girl Tywin Cladeco.

Tywin nonchalantly brushed off her palm and scattered the light.

Upon seeing this, Morgan was slightly angered.

There was someone who attracted more attention than her.

‘…Cladeco! Trying to compete with me, Morgan Von Walpurgis, even though she’s a commoner. An utterly despicable person. I must show her the difference between a noble and a commoner.’

Morgan pondered how to flatten the nose of that commoner-born girl.

Just then, someone approached Morgan and started to circle around her.

It was as if a raccoon had found a comrade and was sniffing around.

“What, you. Do you know that you’re being so rude to Morgan Von Walpurgis, daughter of Gudrid, the Seeker? If I may say so, I’m the top student of the Magic Tower this year. I’ve received a robe.”

The gold cloak only top students could wear.

Morgan boasted about it and revealed her mother was Gudrid of the Walpurgis family.

Her peers usually got scared and backed off when she listed that long title.

However, the unfamiliar girl suddenly raised her hands and shouted.

“I’m Naru! Judas’ daughter! Naru Barjudas! The princess of the back alleys! The murderer of winter strawberries and the destroyer of science homework!”

“…What, what did you say?”

“Her title is longer!”

“She seems more impressive than Morgan!”

“Ughhh…!”

She was a strange child.

Judging by her black hair, she seemed to be a Barbaroi girl.

She was an utterly out-of-place child in this festival venue where only ‘noble mages’ gather.

The girl, who identified herself as Naru, spoke.

“That wand is pretty! Can I touch it?”

“Don’t touch it with your dirty hands!”

“Naru’s hands are clean! I just washed them with soap because it’s dinner time! They’re a little wet though!”

Naru looked at the moisture on her own hands.

Looking around for something to wipe it on, she spotted Morgan’s gold cloak. Holding the gold cloak in her hand, Naru wiped the water off.

“Now it’s not wet anymore!”

“You, you, what did you just do?!”

Thud—

Morgan couldn’t hold it in and shouted out loud.

Seeing this, the children chuckled, and laughter erupted across the students of the Magic Tower and the Graham Academy.

‘You dare to laugh at me?’

When the furious Morgan glared at them, everyone closed their mouths.

In that silence, Morgan thought for a moment.

‘This kid, she seemed to be Tywin’s friend. Did Tywin Cladeco plan this? To mess with me? Indeed, the valedictorian of the Graham Academy. I underestimated her because she’s from a commoner family. She’s quite something.’

To think she was out to torment her.

Morgan found Tywin Cladeco extremely annoying.

However, not letting her feelings show, she spoke brightly.

“Guys, want to play a game? It’s a princess game. We draw straws and act according to the role we get. It’s a simple role-playing game. My mom, Gudrid, used to play this a lot with her sisters when she was young.”

Swish—

Morgan took out long sticks from her pocket.

Upon seeing this, the children from the Magic Tower started to feel uneasy, their faces hardening.

They knew what Morgan’s ‘princess game’ was.

“Oh, holy shh…! Naru loves the princess game! Because Naru is a real princess!”

Naru, the Barbaroi girl who introduced herself, was cluelessly delighted.

Looking at the girl who had no idea what misfortune was about to befall her, Morgan chuckled inwardly, but of course, she didn’t let it show.

Clink—

Morgan put the wooden sticks into the cup.

“Well, I’ll draw first.”

Swish—

Morgan examined each of the many sticks with her fingers.

It was a secret to everyone, but the stick labeled ‘princess’ was made to emit a special magic.

At Morgan’s first-grade elementary school age, she was the only one who could sense that magic.

Tingle—

At that moment, a strange sensation touched her fingers.

“Maybe this one is good?”

Swish—

Morgan drew as if she didn’t know.

The drawn stick read ‘Princess’.

It was a foregone conclusion, but as always, Morgan laughed innocently as if he was lucky without knowing anything.

“Oh, I’m the princess. I’m really lucky! Now, the rest of you draw.”

Swoosh—

Morgan handed the cups to the children.

Children pulling out straws with their eyes tightly closed.

“I survived, I am a noble.”

“I am a city councilor… This is passable. Phew-. I’m relieved.”

“I’m a high-ranking officer! I survived…!”

Tywin couldn’t understand the situation while watching the children’s relief.

With a frown at the strangely vivid roles of nobles, councilors, officials, etc., Tywin, who was puzzled by this odd lottery, asked Morgan, the organizer.

“What is this?”

“Someday, we will go out into society and take on roles according to our status and abilities, right? This is practice for that time. Now, Tywin, you pull one. It will be a role that suits you.”

“……”

Only two straws remained before Tywin knew it.

The only people who hadn’t picked a straw were Tywin and Naru.

Tywin, who alternately touched the two straws with her fingers, noticed that strange magic was flowing from one straw.

Tywin picked the straw that did not have magic flowing with a ‘so be it’ mindset.

「Palace Maid」

That’s what was written on the straw.

Just as Morgan’s pupils curved like a new moon as he read the characters.

“Tywin is my servant. Then the remaining one is─.”

“Oh, holy shh…! Naru’s says slave!”

The lot that Naru drew.

The last role was that of a slave.

* * *

Mealtime.

Before long, the children settled down one by one at their tables.

“There are strawberries that Naru likes!”

There were all kinds of fruits on the table, including strawberries that Naru liked.

The sight of the strawberries neatly prepared for eating made her mouth water for a moment-.

Pat—

Naru sat in the chair closest to the strawberries.

Then, a child who drew the lot of ‘noble’ was watching her and said.

“Hey, where is a slave sitting at the table? You don’t have a place. Eat on the floor!”

“Right, right.”

The children growled.

As if they really became nobles, as if Naru really became a slave, Tywin frowned at their attitude.

‘Even though it’s a play, it’s just bullying. It’s to torture the person who drew the slave. Is this something Morgan intended for me?’

Tywin was a smart girl.

She quickly realized that the game itself was a trap aimed at her.

And luckily, she managed to avoid that trap.

“Tywin, can you massage my shoulder?”

“……”

“What are you doing? You are the princess’s maid. Or do you want to get fired and eat food on the floor like a slave?”

It was an easy threat.

Watching the other children tremble, Tywin realized that this strange ‘game’ was a custom that had been passed down for a long time.

‘The Walpurgis family. They’re a very unpleasant bunch.’

Tywin felt that this situation was incredibly stupid.

She would have left the place if it hadn’t been for the exchange event with the Graham Academy and the Magic Tower.

This morning, she heard from her mother, “Collaborating with the Walpurgis family is an important task, so Tywin, you shouldn’t cause problems.”

Tywin couldn’t dare break an event that her mother, Elle Cladeco, considered important.

Whoosh—

Endlessly, Tywin massaged the shoulders of Morgan, who played the role of a princess.

And as Morgan began immensely enjoying the situation.

“Who ate all the strawberries on my plate?”

“Huh, mine too.”

“My plate’s strawberries are gone too!”

All the strawberries that were on the children’s plates were gone.

What on earth happened?

Magic?

No, Morgan did not feel the usual disturbance characteristic of when magic was cast.

She suddenly frowned.

On the other side, right under the table, Naru, the slave who couldn’t sit at the table, laughed.

Whoosh—

When Morgan looked under the table, Naru’s mouth was very swollen.

She looked like a squirrel that had stuffed a lot of almonds in its mouth.

Of course, what’s inside those cheeks of hers weren’t almonds.

Morgan, the top student at the tower, quickly grasped the situation.

“Hey! What are you going to do if you steal all our strawberries?! You’re just a slave!”

“What strawberries? Naru doesn’t know…”

“Don’t lie! Your hands are stained with strawberry juice!”

“But Naru wanted to eat strawberries…! The strawberries of the Walpurgis family are incredibly tasty. Now Naru is full.”

Naru chuckled awkwardly.

Seeing this, Morgan furrowed her brows.

“…What kind of kid is this?”

Morgan was flabbergasted.

Then someone let out a small chuckle.

“Who laughed?”

Morgan didn’t miss that opportunity.

All the children went pale.

A chilly atmosphere.

In an atmosphere where it seemed impossible to continue eating, Tywin spoke.

“Princess, how about introducing the treasures that you said you brought from the Walpurgis family instead of eating? You said you have a lot of treasures.”

“……”

Morgan was extremely angry, but she felt somewhat satisfied when that genius Tywin showed her such a submissive attitude.

And she thought it was a good opportunity to show everyone the prestige of the Walpurgis family and nodded her head.

“Fine. Everyone, follow me. And slave. You, be careful. I’m a kind princess and I’ll let it slide once, but not a second time!”

“Ung, ung!”

Woooo—

The children now clustered together and headed towards the exhibition hall located somewhere in the duke’s banquet hall.

It was a place where many treasures and inventions brought by the Walpurgis family were on full display.

It was still not time to open it to the public, so it was tightly locked.

A padlock bound by a magical spell.

Morgan stood in front of it and recited a spell.

“Unlock.”

Click—

The padlock was unlocked.

Finally, the children entered the exhibition hall in droves.

For a moment, they were captivated one by one by the various treasures laid out there.

“A painting? It’s huge!”

“It covers the entire wall!”

The children stopped in front of a picture drawn on a frame.

It was a giant frame, about two meters wide and three meters high.

“A painting? I don’t see anything.”

“Look here. It’s painted with flowers.”

“I just see grass…”

“I even see a butterfly sitting on the flower.”

The children had different opinions as they looked at the painting.

Watching them, Morgan chuckled to himself.

‘Fools, don’t you know the picture appears differently according to one’s magical talent?’

Knowing something that everyone else didn’t.

It was a moment when Morgan’s intellectual superiority was satisfied.

Then, Tywin spoke.

“The picture appears differently according to one’s magical talent. Is this the painting used by the Walpurgis family to select their successor? White paper. Grass field. Flowers. Butterfly. A woman in a dress. And, the woman’s face. In that order?”

“……!”

Morgan was taken aback.

Who would have thought that she could deduce even the stages up to the woman in the dress in the picture?

Morgan, the genius of the Walpurgis family, could see a woman standing in a flower field in this painting.

And that the woman was smiling brightly.

It was a talent similar to her great aunt, Friede von Walpurgis, who had been bestowed the ‘white’ color.

Morgan’s grandfather, the head of the family, also praised Morgan, saying, “We’ll be relying on you’.”

But, could a commoner like Tywin see the same thing?

Suppressing her rising emotions, Morgan asked seemingly casually.

“Tywin, what do you see?”

“The woman in the dress is smiling, isn’t she? Brightly. She’s a beautiful woman. Her platinum blonde hair is shining in the sun. Considering the ring on her ring finger, it seems she is a married woman.”

“……”

It was the same picture that Morgan saw.

So, out of frustration, she closed her mouth, and soon the place was buzzing.

“As expected of Tywin.”

“She has the same level of talent as Morgan.”

However.

There was one person who tilted her head.

“Is she really smiling brightly? I don’t think so…”

Naru, the slave.

Soon, the other children shouted at Naru.

“What would you even see there?”

“You’re just trying to lie!”

Against the children’s criticism, Naru closed her mouth.

Then she took another good look at the painting.
