Cleio, who was both the main character and the target of the day’s teasing, sensed he could not stop his friends’ mouths, so he focused his entire mind on the scent of Liognes champagne. He still found Dione’s sense of beauty hard to understand, but Cleio himself rather liked being tall. Of course, it was truly painful to go through growing pains twice in one life. He suffered pain like molten metal poured into his knees every other day. It got so bad that Zebedee ended up casting magic on…

“That really is an amazing thing!” “Is it something to be amazed at?” “Madame de Tempête de Neige was the noblest of nobles, wasn’t she? It’s astonishing that she knew beauty skills.” “Oh, Dione, so there are things you don’t know. My grandmother was originally a lady’s maid in the Tempête de Neige family. She got hired as a sewing maid but, with her outstanding hairdressing skills, she took over the lady’s dressing room, and not long after the lady’s early death, she…

Three Springs (2) Sniffle. “Are you feeling calmer now?” Pout~. Aser, who had carefully set down the bicycle and the two boxes of champagne tied to it, sat the first-year student on a nearby stump and patiently soothed her tears. Perhaps feeling sorry to wipe her tears with his own dirty and crumpled muslin handkerchief, he even commandeered Cleio’s crisp handkerchief. “You must’ve been startled by the bicycle suddenly coming at you. I’m really sorry.” With a little girl…

Three Springs (1) "April 12, 1892" "From Lillian Bennett" "Teacher, how have you been? I have now come to the capital as a first-year student of the Capital Defense Academy. I was not an outstanding student at Queen Isolde Girls’ School, so you must have been surprised! I myself still feel dazed. It was a miraculous thing that I became the 979th class student of the Capital Defense Academy. My father always said that if you are a girl, you only need to go to a girls’ school to learn…

Side Story 1. The Sage Who Became Light and Gold (2) Hileida Seydr, who was of good birth and had a neat appearance, was considered a likely candidate for the next head maid. She had an excellent talent for guiding those she served so that, even without going against their wishes, they did not cross the line. Born to a noble family, Hileida was even fluent in Karolinger, making her an indispensable asset for Philip, whose household was full of troubles. Eight years had passed since the grand…

Side Story 1. The Sage Who Became Light and Gold (1) This is an old story, yet it is not the kind of narrative that calls for the song of a goddess. Melchior Lioghnan was rather sick of the muses’ chorus. Nine times, no matter the content, is simply too much. To begin with, this narration is not bound by the promise of the story. The lines begin outside the story. First, a question: How is the world constructed before the existence of the protagonist? Is it darkness where light and…

Amphitheater (4) “I didn’t know that ‘someday’ would come this quickly.” Cleio slowly turned his head. The boy gazed at Arthur with a face as dry as if he had lived a century. Without surprise or fear. Even when the worst happens, if it was something you expected, it brings a faint sense of release. That kind of relief lingered in Cleio’s demeanor. Though it was happening for the first time in his life, somehow Arthur felt as if he had always known it would come to this. If you…

Amphitheater (3) Cleio somehow managed not to doze off. It was mostly thanks to Arthur. The conflict between his sibling Antigone, who tried to bury the dead Polynices, and King Creon, who forbade the traitor’s funeral by royal edict, seemed strange to Arthur as well. “Hey, what the heck is this? The sister just wants to bury her dead brother, so why is the king so mad? And what’s with how he acts toward his son’s fiancée?” “That order represents the positive law, the law of…

Amphitheater (2) "Well, I guess that’s just adult circumstances. Breaking up doesn’t mean you stop loving each other." "Ugh, I don’t get it." The emperor of Rome urges Berenice to leave, yet tells her she is the only one he’ll love and desire until he dies. 'Hmm. This is really too subtle a story for an eighteen-year-old. Seriously, dear author, this is not it.' Cleio was starting to miss the video content rating system he always used to criticize. "Whether you get it or not, at…

Amphitheater (1) "You’re acting like you’re totally in love. Huh? Even a single word feels too precious to say, right?" "I let it slide last time because I was distracted, but where did you learn such baseless, wild accusations? You’re quite the expert." "Baseless? This is the result of careful observation, you know? I’ve suspected for a while, but I think you’re into older women. You might have a shot with Lady Dione since you’re five years apart, but with Archbishop Historia the age…

Place of Friendship (3) Feeling like he was the only one who didn’t understand what was going on, Cleio quietly asked Isiel, who was a seat away. "Gilad Eclipse?" "…Last year, he was the student who left that strange magical formula in a remote corner—the one I wrongly suspected was your doing, Cleio. I’m sorry for accusing you so abruptly back then." Isiel’s earlobes turned faintly red. He seemed to regret having pressured Cleio, thinking he was up to some scheme. Cleio also felt a…

Place of Friendship (2) The summer semester that started in April required less preparation than the winter semester. Dione, who used to pack simply for him, made a deliberately disappointed face and joked. "What, the mischievous prince’s friendly visit woke up our sleeping young master. I’m a bit sad, you know." Unlike usual, Cleio could not return a smooth answer to her. Thanks to that, Dione, who gained momentum, teased him endlessly, asking if he was embarrassed, saying it was fun now…

The Place of Friendship (1) Kleio was dragged into endless sleep. It felt as if his mind had overloaded from taking in too much information he couldn’t understand all at once. As night and day alternated without order, 'Jeongjin' saw his mother in a dream. She warned him to dress warmly because it would rain, just as she had in the previous world. His mother was especially good at predicting the weather. There was no need for forecasts. The fishing village people liked her, but kept a…

The format of the message announcing the details of the 'Unique Skill' was familiar, but the content was quite different. What happened afterward was even more so. Bracing himself for the distortion that never became easier no matter how many times he experienced it, Kleio hunched his body. But the collapse and reconstitution of the world did not occur. Instead, the surroundings flickered once, as if a page had turned. Dong—dong— The bell for two o'clock rang. 'Time hasn't been turned…

Introduction to History (4) He had thought about it. The doubt of whether this world was simply "nothing more than a manuscript created through writing" had always lingered within 'Jeongjin'. But doubt could not turn into conviction. Too obvious a counter-evidence was engraved on his body, blocking such an assumption. Kleio held out the back of his hand to Regina. As he injected ether, a clear blue-azure rectangle and a thin line appeared on his skin. "I've already used this stigmata to turn…

Introduction to History (3) Regina immediately denied Jeongjin's conclusion. "□□, please. You know. You don't have the power of imagination. You're not someone who can just elevate yourself, create a world that's only kind to you, and settle into it comfortably." He admitted himself that he lacked imagination, but when she asserted it in that gentle voice, 'Jeongjin' felt as if his insides were tightly constricted, as if set on fire. "…Even if, by some chance, your existence isn't just my…

Introduction to History (2) The priest looked back a couple of times, seemingly worried about Archbishop Istoria’s condition, but did not defy her order. Once the quietly moving old priest closed the door, an unnatural silence remained. It was the long-awaited private meeting with the Archbishop. His body stiffened with tension. ‘Even her voice… it’s exactly like Minsan’s. This feels awful.’ Only when he caught the Archbishop’s gaze did Clio approach her. Her expression and…

Introduction to History (1) “The excerpts will be serialized once a week in the weekend edition of . For four weeks! Since the book is on the thin side, I think this is enough.” As the project neared completion, Dione’s voice became lively. “It’s a respectable publication, and the length seems just right.” “We’re promoting it with posters, and in newspapers and magazines, too. Do you have any other ideas?” Clio added his opinion without hesitation. “Hmm, this is…

The Last Pleasure of Winter Vacation “Oh! By the way, I heard from my little brother that you’re such a celebrity! I haven’t been to the capital in ages, so I just found out now, huh?” Click. Clio, who had just finished packing his suitcase, gave a suitable reply. “Little Trude must have exaggerated. Sir Trude, you know well how newspapers in the capital like to blow up even the smallest stories.” To be honest, Trude had never read even a single page of a newspaper in his life.…

Urgent Need for Compliance with the Labor Standards Act First of all, the Crown Prince. From Clio's perspective, it would have been easier to deal with him if he were, say, the possessor of the revised version of the book, or the author's evil twin. However, Behemoth called Melchior a human. If that's the case, he simply concluded that Melchior was just a human, merely under the muse’s blessing. Looking back at the circumstances when Taeseoton, awakened as a reincarnator, fainted, it seemed…
