Chapter 4 First try! Magic(1/2)

——The long breakfast time was over, and the matter of hiring Subaru was decided.

"So, Roswaal, what about me?"

"Oh, God-Yuexing, then, let Beatrice teach you."

"Betty has no such obligation, even if you are more polite than some daredevils," Beatrice said coldly

"I won't disturb your play time, just give me some guidance. Please, Lady Beatrice, agree to my unreasonable request."

"Okay... for the sake of your politeness, Betty reluctantly agrees to you."

After saying that, Beatrice stood up from her seat in a hurry.

"Things seem to be settled. It's time for Betty to go back with her brother. Yuexing remembers to go to the courtyard later."

Yuexing nodded

"Wait a minute, there's no need to rush... I don't know your identity right now. Are you Ross's sister?" Subaru asked

"You are actually considered a relative of that one. You are also very good at irritating Betty."

"Betty is the librarian of Roswaal's forbidden library."

"elder brother?!"

Parker's leisurely interjection disrupted the atmosphere of the upcoming quarrel.

"Rozwaal's ability as a magician is very impressive, and their family is prestigious, so naturally they have books that are passed down from generation to generation and cannot be seen by others."

Following Yuexing's speech, Parker added:

"Betty is keeping the contract to protect those books."

"Keeper of the Forbidden Library, this profession has deeply shaken my heart as a man."

Beatrice's expression showed a significant cooling down towards Subaru's feelings. Despite this, she still touched her hair and answered truthfully.

"The room you entered is the Forbidden Library."

"Oh, it's that room full of books."

"Wait a minute, Beatrice...you won't invite Subaru into the Forbidden Library, right?" Emilia asked instead.

"...How is it possible? He chose the correct answer to [Opportunity Gate] without authorization."

Beatrice, with veins on her forehead, stood up rudely and silently opened the restaurant door.

"Strange? Where is the corridor?"

An unexplainable scene appeared in front of him, and Subaru couldn't help but ask stupid questions.

What should be in front of me is the door that leads to the corridor, but what appears is the Forbidden Library with neatly arranged bookshelves.

"This is the 'Gate of Opportunity'. Just imprint this sense of mystery in your eyes and tremble to your heart's content. Brother, come here."

After stepping into the Forbidden Library, Beatrice looked at Subaru proudly and held out her hand. Puck jumped from Emilia's feet and onto the girl's palm.

After confirming, Beatrice closed the door, and the girl and the kitten hid behind the door.

"Oh, awesome"

What surprised Subaru even more was that Ram opened the closed door without saying anything.

However, behind the door was a corridor that Subaru had to walk on his own feet. The scene a second ago seemed like a lie.

"Okay - okay, let's introduce myself - Ram, Rem."

Roswaal clapped his hands to gather his attention. The twins whose names were called quietly walked to the front, grabbed the ends of their skirts and saluted together.

"Reintroduce yourself, I am Rem, the head maid of this residence."

"Introducing me again, I am Ram, the ordinary servant of Roswaal-sama's residence."

"My sister suddenly confessed quickly, but it's not my turn to speak."

After hearing Subaru's words with his arms crossed, the twins held each other's hands and looked at Subaru.

"Because the customer... No, Subaru (Subaru) is a colleague now, right?"

"Because the guest... No, Mao (Barus) is also a servant, right?"

"Hey, sister, why did my name become a spell?"

This is a joke that when you meet someone for the first time, your name will definitely be joked about, but Ram and Rem probably don’t know it.

Fighting back his anxiety, Subaru turned back to look at Roswaal.

"Is that my position? Sure enough, I am more like a trainee servant than a housekeeper?"

"As far as the current situation is concerned, accepting the instructions of these two people and handling the chores is your highest priority."

"Oh, don't regret things that are useless. That's it. Please give me your advice, seniors. I will do my best. What's wrong with my body?"

"Broken Bones"

"That's it"

"The friendly friendship is so beautiful. There seems to be no grudge against each other. As an employer, we are also very happy. Right?"

"Then, Mao, let's go."

Ram, who said this, was directly appointed as Subaru's instructor by Roswaal just now.

Leaving his sister Rem, who was neatly tidying up the restaurant, Ram, who was completely unhelpful, reached out and opened the door of the restaurant.

"Ah, I feel like my title will be finalized like this."

"Well, that's right, Mao. Because of Master Roswaal's instructions, I'm going to show Mao around the mansion first. Can you follow my footsteps without getting lost?"

"I'm not Emilia-chan, so I won't run around just out of curiosity."

"Pleiades!"

Being teased about getting lost in the royal capital made Emilia puff up her cheeks in anger.

After that, Subaru will go separate ways with Emilia, who as a candidate for king has to complete various duties and training. Before parting soon, let’s imprint Emilia’s beauty in your eyes.

"Then, although I'm reluctant to leave, let's go, senior"

"That's it, Mao. Then, Lady Emilia, see you later."

Before leaving, Ram grabbed her skirt and saluted, and Subaru followed her.

"Subaru, I will work hard...you have to work hard too."

"Are you cheering me up? I'm so happy and my energy is pouring out."

Subaru imitated Ram, grabbing his sportswear and saluting, looking at Emilia's farewell expression as if it were a rare thing, and then exited the room.

"Then, it's time for me to go to the garden..."



Yuexing came to the courtyard and looked around, boundless as far as the eye could see

[You can really do whatever you want if you have money] Yuexing sighed

In the middle of the courtyard, Beatrice and Parker were having a great time playing

"Hey - why are you so slow -" Beatrice complained

"Isn't this just to give you time to have fun with Parker?" Yuexing said haha

"Hmph...Betty prefers to play in the library, if it weren't for you..."

"Okay, okay, don't you want to teach Yuexing magic? Go quickly." Parker smoothed things over.

"Well... let's start with the simplest one. Do you know Maye?" Beatrice muttered.

"The most basic energy required for magic."

"That's right, it's between us now."

"But I can't see them."

"Because she is usually distributed in the air, and will only appear when Maya is used outside the body." As she spoke, the air on Beatrice's hand floated, and faint blue light spots appeared inside.

"In vitro...that is to say, it is also present in the body."

"Good understanding. The ones in the body are called "doors", which are organs used to absorb and release atmospheric magic. The number and size of the doors determine a person's magical aptitude, but have nothing to do with understanding."

"Absorbing too much Maya will..."

"...explosion" Beatrice touched Parker who was lying on her shoulder

"Then what happens if Maya runs out?"

"You will collapse or even die, just like your physical strength, if you use it again, your life force will be consumed."

"Then what's the difference between a magician and an elf warlock?"

"One is used inside the body, and the other is used outside the body. The magician looks at the number and size of the doors, while the elf warlock looks at the ability of the contracted elf itself."

"I see, what do you think of me?" Yuexing asked
