Act 4

Another half a year had passed since then. My birthday came and went, and I was now twelve years old.

The culture here didn’t use East Asian age reckoning where you turned a year older at the new year. Instead, you turned a year older when the day of your birth passed. This world had a custom of celebrating birthdays, much like how the new year was celebrated in my previous world.

On Luft and Gly’s birthdays, they were showered with lavish meals and opulent gifts. I, however, was not granted such a luxury. It was a little alienating. Being a mistress’s son was harsh. Not that it particularly bothered me.

I thought to myself as I sat at the breakfast table. Despite the entire family being present, the clattering of silverware was the only sound being made. It was almost amusing—it was as though the silence was to avoid mentioning that yesterday had been my birthday. That said, there was nothing in particular to talk about. Nothing of note had happened recently.

If I had to come up with something, there was how excited Gly was to be going to the magic academy. He was now fifteen, and it was time for him to decide his future. Unlike Luft, Gly couldn’t succeed the household, so he was planning on taking the exam next spring to transfer into the imperial magic academy’s high school section and pursue a career as a magic scholar. That was what he had said for years.

Yet despite his excitement, he wasn’t doing any extra studying or practicing. I don’t know what the exam entails, but are you sure you’re going to be okay, Gly? Is this really the time to be silently chewing your bread?

“I’ll be visiting the city council today. I’ll be back this evening. Watch the house.”

“Take care.” My father Blaise announced today’s plans, and my not-blood-related mother quietly answered.

Breakfast ended a short while later, as though that had been the cue. Come to think of it, I don’t have my private tutor today. What to do.

I was walking through the yard of the manor, towards the detached building. I had business with Yifa, and when I asked a maid where she was, I had been told she was cleaning the detached building where guests stayed. I was going to ask her about the hitodama, and there was something I wanted to warn her about.

“Hey, Seika! Wait up!” Just as I was about to reach the detached building, I heard a voice call out to me. Turning around, I saw two figures.

“Gly, Luft. What do you need?”

“Seika! I’m gonna teach you how to use a sword starting today! Be grateful!

Huh? Where did that come from? Looking more closely, I saw that they were both holding wooden training swords. Gly shouted at me as I tilted my head in confusion.

“You’re already twelve. Have you thought about what you’re gonna do when you leave home?”

“Hmm... Not particularly.”

“How long are you planning on slacking off? You know you can’t
