4 – Strange Mansion
The sofa in the drawing room was softer than I thought. The bed in my room is also very soft, but this sofa is even better. It feels like melting. If there was a sofa like this when I lived on Earth, the sofa and I would have become one body.
The refreshments on the tea table are luxurious to look at. I don’t know the name, but there are desserts that look super sweet anyway. The smell of tea not yet poured from the teapot fills the drawing room. It smells so luxurious that I can tell that it is an expensive car even if I am not very knowledgeable about cars. I don’t know the name, but it must be very expensive anyway.
I was sitting on the parlor sofa, my legs trembling. I didn’t want to show nervousness, but I can’t help it because I’m nervous. If I lose consciousness in my legs, even for a moment, my legs start to tremble without even realizing it.
The name of my fiancé made me extremely nervous. I’ve never even had a girlfriend properly, but she suddenly says she’s a fiancé. When I was still in school uniform, there were a few times when I held hands with a close girl in my class and watched a movie or went out to play. However, I honestly have no experience of what the world calls dating.
I never thought I would regret not going on a blind date when I was on Earth. In a sense, I’m more nervous than a blind date. It’s the first meeting from my point of view, but it’s even more so because we’re engaged in the eyes of others. Wouldn’t it be awkward to say something?
I was thinking about what would be a good first greeting for such a long time.
“Brother, Lady Gracia has arrived.”

My fiancé, Hestia von Gracia, appeared in the drawing room.
The first thing I noticed was her hair. Her silver hair was as clean as if it hadn’t been touched by the filth of the world. The silver hair that reached her chest gleamed beautifully with each step she took. It feels like watching a shampoo advertisement right in front of you.
His skin is surprisingly white. I thought my skin was white enough for her, but compared to her, I feel like I’ve become her golden sun. Her skin is so white that it is translucent.
And her eyes. Cold, cold blue eyes. Combined with her big, pale eyes, she looks like a cat. The nose is also crooked. Her mouth is also small and cute.
The body is also oh wow… It’s a bit clichéd, but it’s a perfect body that goes in and out. Her mid-length full of maternal love, which cannot be covered even with a dress, creates a synergistic effect with her white skin.
Specifically, you can see the veins running through her breasts. Crazy.
Everything around her is blurred and only her figure is clear. I feel my gaze being sucked in. With her confident and graceful demeanor, she walks towards me.
To be honest, her looks were a strike. It is a strike that does not span the zone, but hits the middle of the zone with a 100 mph fastball. I also just realized that my ideal type is a silver-haired cat. Because I had never encountered a person of this appearance on Earth.
However, isn’t it too easy for a man to become so dazed just by looking at the appearance of someone he’s seeing for the first time? Even thinking about it makes me sting a little. I never thought I’d be this stupid.
“It’s been a while.”
She opened her mouth as she sat down in her seat. The butler who was waiting next to her comes out and pours tea into her cup. The teapot rises higher and higher, but there is no splashing of tea at all. I only saw it on TV, but when I saw it in front of my eyes, there was no such thing as a strange thing.
By the way, your voice is pretty. I have never sympathized with the expression that the jade marble rolls and the oriole sings, but from now on I can sympathize as much as I want.
“That…That’s right. Long time no see. Hestia.”
I was so nervous that I limped. You need to calm down a bit. I don’t know why, but there is no tongue support. Her attitude and the correction of her tone, which were naturally triggered toward her parents, do not activate toward her. Wasn’t it activated by someone close to her? A fiancé would be close enough.
I feel like the prepared comments are blocked. I don’t know what to say to be natural. A cold sweat runs down your back.
“…”
“…”
After exchanging greetings, there was silence. What should I say? I’m new to her, but she’s not the first to me. I have no idea what topic to bring up. An awkward silence follows.
“Huh… You are still silent. You are.”
It was Hestia who broke the silence first. She let out a sarcastically sharp sigh with her annoyed sigh. What? Doesn’t she get along very well when she says she’s a fiancée?
Anyway, keeping your mouth shut is a bad idea. Now that it’s like this, it’s better to just put on a stern face and just go out with my tone.
“I don’t have the talent for words. I apologize if you felt that way.”
Even after she accepts my apology, she doesn’t seem very happy. For now, I’m going to go a little low. She doesn’t know anything about her and doesn’t have the confidence to lead her conversation well, so it’s an inevitable choice.
“…For some reason, you are answering me today. Before, no matter how much I spoke to her, she kept her mouth shut.”
“…? Ah! Sorry about the past I had something to think about.”

Mikhail You crazy bastard. She had heard that she was silent, but before that, it seemed that she just chewed on her words openly. At first, it was covered with an excuse.
At this point, it’s understandable that he’s being sharp towards me. He was a person who openly ignored his words, so of course it wouldn’t be very good.
So, first of all, I apologized. I feel like I’m only apologizing from a while ago, but I don’t mean to lose money by apologizing. I’m not doing anything wrong, but what can I do? I have no intention of fighting my ego.
“Hmph… Now come…”
“What did you say?”
“Nothing.”
Turning her head sharply, she looks pouty.
And then silence again. The only sound in her drawing room is me and her drinking her tea. Something needs to be brought up. Honestly, it’s strange to anyone to see her fiance invited and not having a conversation, apart from the fact that her appearance is my style.
“Are you doing well preparing for the academy?”
I heard from Selene last night that almost all children of nobles enter the academy unless there is a really special reason. Of course, she will also enter the academy.
When I first opened my mouth, she looked a little surprised. No, why is it so amazing? Just like the maid from before, Hestia, it’s nice to keep making a surprised expression whenever I open my mouth. Mikhail wonders what kind of life she has lived.
“Yes, what. What about you? He didn’t seem to want to go to the academy very much.”
“Me? Not really.”
This is the first time I’ve heard of it. Mikhail said she wasn’t interested in the academy?
“When I talked about the academy before, I didn’t say anything, so I thought, of course, that I didn’t like it very much.”
“I think this is a good opportunity to learn.”
How reticent was Mikhail?
Rather than that, it makes sense why Selene looked at her like that last night.
‘You haven’t been particularly interested in the Academy until now, have you?’
And then the expressionless gaze that followed.
If someone who hadn’t said a single word about the academy suddenly called and asked to find out about the academy, he’d think it was strange.
It is only now that I understand the Grand Duchess’s overly excited attitude when the Grand Duke asked about the entrance preparations and the academy yesterday. Admission is right around the corner, but both of them must have been worried to some extent since they didn’t show any interest in the school they were going to attend.
But that’s about Mikhail.
If I’m going to go to the academy, I’m thinking of going properly. It’s not something you can avoid just because you want to avoid it. In addition, I regret my school days on Earth, which ended after reading only novels.
Anyway, I was born in such a good environment, so why am I the only one flying to this world? It’s not like you can go back just by whining about wanting to go back. And to be honest, I don’t have that much lingering attachment to life on Earth. Rather good
If there is one thing I’m worried about, it’s the aftermath of the aftermath when I suddenly return to Earth one day after being attached to this world. I think it would be a bit difficult to completely adapt to this world, make family and friends, and then suddenly break up.
But it must be an even more foolish choice to live without any human relationships. I don’t want to live with the certainty of the present thrown away because of the uncertain future that will happen or not.
“Is there any class you want to take?”
In that sense, I decided to become close with Hestia. First of all, you should start by taking the same class. I honestly can’t say I’m not selfish. She’s my wife (Jin) anyway, so what’s up?
“Why are you asking that?”
“If you want, let’s listen together.”
Hestia’s face is stained with astonishment. If she had noticed a little while ago that she was doing something wrong, she feels that this time she has seen something that couldn’t be. No, is this such a surprise? What the hell were you thinking of me?
Could it be that the tongue support didn’t activate because there was too little meaningful conversation between the two?
“Go…Let’s listen together?”
Hestia’s gaping mouth barely moved. Wow, a pretty girl is pretty even if she just uses her face like this.
The idea of taking the same class is quite sincere. There is also a romance about her school life where she takes classes with her wife (Jin), and I feel the need to get closer to her than now.
Judging by her attitude, if she gets married like this, her life without affection is confirmed. That’s not really the future I want.
And one of the reasons is that there are no classes I particularly want to take. Among the classes Selene introduced, there were no classes that interested her except those related to swordsmanship. If you’re going to pick something roughly like this, you’d better take her class with her.
“I don’t have any special classes I want to take. Do you have any classes in mind?”
“You are no stranger to magic. I don’t think there are any classes we can take together.”
This body is far from magic. Knowledge has increased
In fact, even if you take classes related to magic, you won’t be able to fill all classes with them. I know this because I heard it from Selene yesterday.
I was wondering if you could fill the timetable with a similar class. I didn’t mean to, but I asked just in case. I wondered if it would be possible to get a grade by blocking what I learned in this subject from that subject. The answer is absolutely impossible. It is difficult for him to do it himself, but the professor says he refuses.
So this is probably a euphemism for rejection. How the hell do you have ugly hair? It’s not a big deal, and he refuses to even go to class together.
But I, Mikhail, am a man who never gives up. Judging by his attitude anyway, there doesn’t seem to be much favorability going down. There is a possibility that you will end up with a negative number, but I wonder if there will be a rejection reaction to that extent when I ask you to take a class together.
“I’m not going to fill every class with magic. There must be one or two subjects that you can take together.”
“Sir…”
“Do you hate it that much?”
“……”
“Hestia?”
“No. I think we can listen to at least one thing together.”
Hestia, who was grunting and thinking for a while, as if she was not very reluctant, suddenly raised her head as if she had a good idea and accepted my proposal.
It seems as if the class you want to take together suddenly came to mind.
“Okay. What do you want to hear?”
“Do you know of a class called Understanding Married Couples?”
Hestia smiled slightly at me. She saw her smile for the first time today. Although she is more of a crooked slob with malice rather than a bright smile.
