Chapter 7 Part 1: Renatus and inviting Bradley to his room.

Translator: Michiko

Editor: Lastinline

Today’s study session was in my room. 

I’d cleaned up and already prepared tea and snacks. 

In my past life, I only had this kind of thing when I was in school. So it’d been an awfully long time and I was excited and nervous.

(This kind of thing is really nice. It feels like we’re friends.)

The knock brought me back to reality from my state of excitement. 

Bradley, dressed in his uniform, was in front of my door when I opened it.

I was dressed in a white long-sleeved tunic and ivory culottes. My whole look was soft. The design was honestly childish, as it was developed from my childhood outfits. My foster father tailored them for me so I readily accepted them, though.

(Not just the mask, but I should have also asked him to make my clothes more mature… But father was dejected just by making the mask design more mature…)

Clarence had been dressed in a manner befitting the duke’s eldest son when he had been around my age. 

Foster father sometimes saw my mother, his sister, in me because I resembled her. That was why he wanted to dress me up in cute outfits.

“Eh, um, talking here is a bit…Why don’t you come in?” 

“Ah, okay.”

Renatus urged Bradley to enter and closed the door behind him. 

Bradley looked around the room curiously.

“I see the layout is the same as the rooms in the knight department.” 

“Is that so?” 

“It smells different though.” 

“Smell?”

Renatus was curious and asked in return. 

Bradley frowned slightly.

“The knight department stinks of sweat.” 

“Haha…!”

Renatus burst into laughter unintentionally. 

Knights had a stylish image, but they were basically athletes. 

Bradley had told me that the training grounds also had showers and that they would take a shower before returning to the dorms. Still, the large number of people meant that there might be some things that could not be completely washed off.

“Sorry for laughing.” 

“No…The magic department’s dormitory smells like medicinal herbs.” 

“Ahh. Many students dry herbs in their rooms that are then used in mixing practice.” 

“I see.”

Bradley nodded as he understood. 

Since my nose had become accustomed to the smell, I didn’t think it reeked of medicinal herbs in the dorm. I only thought it was refreshing. 

On that thought, perhaps it was a good thing that we had decided on my room as the place for the study session. 

It must be tiring to stay in a sweaty place all the time.

“Take a seat. I’ll make you some tea. Do you drink herbal tea? If you don’t like it, I’ll make black tea.” 

“Thank you. I am ok with herbal tea.”

My room was small but had a balcony and I grew herbs there. 

The herbal tea, made from herbs freshly picked just for this, had a fresh aroma and tasted delicious.

Certain herbs were unique to this world. 

I blended those that had mind-clearing properties, to help us study and those with strong aromas and sweetness. Simply by pouring hot water over it and steaming it lightly, it was ready to serve. 

I poured it into cups and served it with pastries.

“It smells nice.” 

“I hope it suits your tastes”.

Bradley carefully enjoyed the wafting aroma of the tea, and then drank it, cooling it down by blowing on it as usual. 

At this time of year, cold tea would have been better, but Bradley drinking tea while cooling it down had a weird sex appeal that made my heart pound faster. 

This was a common opinion. He would look sexy in anyone’s eyes. It’s not that I had strange tastes.

“Delicious.” 

“I am glad. It has the effect of clearing your mind. Also, this.”

Renatus held out the notebook that he had restored last night. 

Bradley received it and looked at the seamless cover in amazement.

“This is…” 

“Hehe, I worked hard.”

Renatus mischievously puffed out his chest. 

Bradley flipped through the notebook. Since it had been restored back to the state from before it was torn, of course, the written text was also unchanged. 

His face lit up. Then, he let out a breath, his eyes downcast, seemingly impressed.

“Amazing… it’s back to normal.” 

“I plan to hold study sessions every day until the exam, but I thought it would be better if you could study on your own, too.” 

“…Thank you. Renatus, you are amazing.”
