"Sister Chris," Wayne said, his face full of admiration and longing as he held a small wooden sword. "What kind of powerful secret technique is the Thomas Spin? Can you teach me?"
"Uh... it's a family secret technique passed down by a Kamen Rider who happened to be passing by and didn't want to reveal his name, so I can't just teach it to you without his permission. I'm sorry, Wayne," Chris said regretfully, without even blushing.
The little boy looked disappointed upon hearing this.
"I wish I could meet that Kamen Rider too."
In the attic, Mrs. Ashville watched this scene quietly, without moving for a long time.
“Madam, young master Wayne and Miss Chris are very close,” Karen said in a low voice. “I believe that, with proper upbringing, young master Wayne could also become Miss Chris’s right-hand man.”
Even when offering humble advice, she maintained an upright posture.
Ashville asked casually, "Do you think Chris will lack a right-hand man in the future?"
Karen fell silent.
Indeed, even if Miss Chris does nothing, the line of people willing to become her right-hand women could stretch from the capital all the way to the endless sea at the edge of the continent.
"but."
Ashville said in a low voice, "I will try my best to accept him, because it is Elliott's wish..."
……
Wayne was covered in sweat.
He was a year younger than Chris, and since girls develop earlier, Chris was a full head taller than him at this time, giving her a huge advantage in physical strength.
"Wayne, you need to grow up quickly."
Chris said with a smile after her victory.
Wayne puffed out his cheeks in frustration.
Chris's words reminded him of a game he loved playing as a child, in which the protagonist would brush his beloved pony every day, pat its rump, and say, "You need to grow up quickly."
Damn it, what do you take me for!
Chris was completely unaware of Wayne's deep resentment; in fact, she was in a very good mood today.
'Finally, finally school is about to start...'
After transmigrating, Chris experienced an exceptionally long summer vacation, feeling like her head was about to sprout mushrooms.
According to the original storyline, the villainous heiress Chris will receive her education at the affiliated elementary school of Qingxi Academy, which is known as the number one magic academy in the capital, and then naturally go on to the middle school and the main campus.
The story truly unfolds after the protagonist turns 15 and enters the main campus of Seiki Academy because of his magical powers. Everything he experiences now is merely a prelude in the original work.
...This setup is a bit too long.
However, being able to engage in fun group activities is certainly a welcome change from the daily torment of being a tutor.
So, Chris was looking forward to it.
Chapter 6 The Light of Righteousness
After finishing our morning exercise, changing and washing up, everyone dined together in the huge dining room.
A magnificent crystal chandelier hangs directly above, illuminating the room with dazzling light.
The enormous dining table with its intricate patterns, the silver cutlery and trays, and the servants standing with their heads bowed at the entrance of the restaurant all demonstrated a strict hierarchical system.
Wayne unconsciously stared at his head.
“That’s a magic lamp.” Chris walked over and sat down next to him.
Later, Mrs. Ashville arrived late, dressed in a light, pure white dress.
Her eyes were always stern, and perhaps influenced by her, Chris often unconsciously revealed this sense of distance.
She's a truly aloof and beautiful woman.
“Chris, you’re coming with me this Friday to visit the principal and his family at the elementary school.”
After saying that, she glanced at Wayne again and said coldly, "Wayne, you're coming too. You'll be entering this school soon as well."
With a history of over a century, Cheonggye Academy holds a supreme position in this kingdom, having cultivated generations of renowned and powerful figures. Even the heir to the kingdom must graduate from this school.
It can be said that it was the cradle of the aristocratic class.
Wayne always felt that this kind of bizarre setting was a common problem in light novels; it was too childish and immature.
Ultimately, the only reason these schools exist is to facilitate the protagonists' romantic relationships, right?
He glanced at Chris beside him with a complicated expression.
While chewing her food, Chris suddenly suggested, "Mom, let Wayne and I go to school in the same year!"
Wayne paused, staring at Chris in astonishment.
Wait, don't arbitrarily change the original plot! I'm clearly a year younger than you!
“Actually, the knowledge you can learn in elementary school is quite basic.” She tried to convince Ashville, “If Wayne is in the same grade or class as me, it will be easier for me to take care of him and I won’t have to worry about him not being able to adapt to the unfamiliar environment when he first arrives.”
Of course, this is not the real reason. She said it that way simply to better prepare for the bizarre plot twists to come.
That's right, she has decided to face the challenge head-on.
If there's an 'undercover agent' on the male side who's on my side, I can easily resolve some events in the story without much effort, instead of having various interactions with the male leads as depicted in the original work.
Ashville thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll talk to the principal about this today. If he agrees, you can be in the same year."
"Yay!" Chris jumped up happily.
Ashville's eyebrows furrowed immediately, her expression stern: "Chris! Stop your unladylike behavior!"
Chris immediately sat up straight and placed the spoon on the tray in a very quiet and elegant manner.
"Yes, Mother."
Wayne seemed to have no say in this matter, so he could only quietly bury himself in his food.
The head seat was empty; it seemed to belong to the Duke of Elliott, the head of the household.
Ashville sat opposite Chris, took a few sips of porridge, and put down her bowl and plate, looking as if she hadn't eaten at all.
Setting the spoon aside, she said without even raising her deep green eyes, "From now on, Karen will be your personal maid."
If it weren't for her stiff tone, you wouldn't even be able to tell who she was talking to.
Karen, who was standing behind Ashville, showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, but still obeyed the order and stood next to Wayne.
Ashville nodded to indicate that she had finished her meal, and then left the restaurant.
Seeing her mother leave, Chris's straight back relaxed, and her whole expression softened.
She forked a bright red fruit that looked like a tomato from her tray and leaned close to Wayne: "Wayne, this fruit is really delicious~ Would you like to have some?" Her gentle tone was full of enticement.
Karen, who was standing by, couldn't help but interject, "Young Miss, Madam specially bought the Saint Joren Fruit for your health. It is a precious tonic that only women need. Young Master Wayne does not need such a thing. Please do not waste Madam's good intentions."
Something only women need... donkey-hide gelatin?
Wayne pretended not to understand and not to care, staring blankly at the bright red fruit in front of him.
"Okay, okay~" Chris pouted unhappily and reluctantly put the St. Jolem fruit back into her bowl.
"Karen, you worry too much." She took a bite with a sullen expression, then made a slightly distorted face.
"So sour..."
"Sister Chris, why do you want to go to school with me?" Wayne asked softly, fiddling with his spoon. "I haven't learned the etiquette of nobles yet. If I walk with you, it will embarrass you."
“No way.” Chris suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
She gripped Wayne's shoulders with both hands, her crystal-clear eyes looking directly into his: "Wayne, don't be afraid of the gossip outside. If anyone dares to bully you, just come to me for help."
The still-young girl had a stern expression, and her voice was soft yet firm.
"If you feel bad about this, then grow up to be an even better nobleman!" the girl said. "So that I, and all my family members, can be proud of you in the future."
The light of the righteous path shines upon the earth.
Witnessing this scene, the maid who had just been seriously admonishing the girl couldn't help but show a hint of admiration, gazing reverently at the figure in the spotlight.
Wayne, who took the direct hit, gasped in shock, making a new contribution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
Should I be moved now?
Wayne has always considered himself a good at disguising himself.
But at this moment, he had to admit that he had encountered a very strong opponent and was under immense pressure.
"Sister Chris..." Wayne's eyes welled up with tears, "I will work hard!"
And so the matter was settled.
Unfortunately, Wayne's after-school workload did not decrease; instead, he received several extra tutoring sessions because he was skipping a grade.
'No way! I don't want to have to take extra classes after being transported to another world!'
However, no one heard Wayne's inner turmoil; he had to put on a facade of being a very serious and diligent student.
Someone of his status doesn't have the luxury of being willful.
Wayne could only work hard while thinking that maybe he should apply for a remote fiefdom when he grew up.
Even if he is just an adopted son, with the Duke's mansion as his protector, it wouldn't be difficult for him to obtain a low-ranking noble title, right?
...What should I do? I really want to live a retirement life where I just eat and sleep all day.
Chapter 7 The Banquet
The term "noble" is not merely a title; it represents a complete feudal system.
Everyone must enter according to the game rules; otherwise, they will be collectively ostracized by the players already participating in the game.
*
night.
Leaning against a corner of the huge banquet hall, looking at the diverse crowd in front of him, Wayne felt like a salted fish who had lost all his dreams.
What was supposed to be a simple visit to the principal has somehow escalated into a large gathering of wealthy women.
He glanced at Chris, who was still greeting the elders with practiced ease, and exclaimed, "As expected of you!"
I guess the protagonist is the protagonist after all... How can he be so skilled!
"You... hello."
A weak voice sounded from the side.
Wayne turned his head and saw a little white-haired girl timidly tugging at his clothes.
Wow! What an adorable little girl! Wayne's eyes lit up.
Normally, completely white hair is only cute in animation. Wayne used to think that colorful hair would only look like a tacky, outlandish style in real life.
But the little girl in front of him shattered his prejudice. Although the colors were cool, they were very glossy and looked very soft.
Suppressing the urge to reach out and touch him, Wayne tried to put on a friendly smile. "Hello! Little friend, is there anything I can help you with?"
The little girl asked in a very weak voice, "Are you... are you that lady's family member?"
If Wayne hadn't leaned in so close, he could barely hear what she was saying. But under the little girl's intense gaze, Wayne finally understood that she was pointing to Chris.
"Hmm... I think so."
The little girl's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and her face beamed with undisguised joy.
"Then, brother, could you introduce me to that sister?"
"What?"
Seeing Wayne's bewildered expression, the little girl seemed to suddenly realize that her words were presumptuous.
Making such a rude request on the first meeting would be difficult for anyone... But she really didn't want to let this opportunity slip away after finally seeing that older sister again.
"No, no... I just... I just met that older sister before... so I wanted to get closer to her..." The little girl was at a loss for words and was on the verge of tears.
"—" Wayne clutched his chest.
Little guy, you've chosen the wrong path! If you had gotten closer to me first, getting to know Chris would have been a piece of cake, wouldn't it?
