Educational Policy
Joule and the others together with Radian were asked to go into the shadow, and after tea in a room in the castle, we went home and introduced Radian to all of the Ruven family members.
Wald-san gave me a look of dismay, but the others accepted him graciously.
“Well then, we should pick a magic tool ornament for Radian as well.”
I took out from the ornaments from the Infinite Storage with magic effects that Syl had given me before.

Father’s Regret (2)
Shepherd, who was full of self-esteem, thought he was a wonderful person since he wanted to give Marie the best education we could afford, that is, sending her to a nearby church because it cost too much money to hire a single tutor.
“Marie is stupid, so that’s all she needs.”
“Women don’t need education.”
I guess she felt resentment, so she not only tattled to Mother-in-law and made ...

A strange “Fate” that cannot be denied.
Rinka, who got the blessing of the Spirit King of Greenery. Ojiisama and others, who had apparently been hiding because of the fuss we were making
“For the first time in a long time, someone with the blessing of the Spirit King has appeared!!”
“Ohhhh!!”
“Everyone!! It’s a festivaaaal!!”
“Celebratioooons!!”
Unable to keep up with the momentum, I sought help from Sui and Sugar-san.

When you think, "I'm forgetting something," you are usually forgetting something important. And then you remember it when it's too late.
We were talking about returning home after having successfully obtained the blessings of the Spirit King of Wind, when I suddenly remembered.
“Oh, come to think of it, the Spirit King of Greenery shouldn’t have any trial, so should we go get their blessing now?”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, that's right. We talked abo...

“... Now then. I would like to assign you to different roles in making okonomiyaki.”
With that said, I assigned each of us a role.
Suzaku-sama and I were in charge of shredding the cabbage.
We worked together in earnest to shred the cabbage.
The grated yam was done by Mashiro and Sei.
They had a hard time because of the stickiness, but they grated it well.
Thin slices of Orc belly were done by Kurogane and Byako-sama.

“Ah, this arrived from the Duke just a moment ago… according to Shin’s letter, there should be condiments inside.”
There was also a letter ...

Outcome Regarding the Little Gryphon
“Takumi, the gryphons seem to be serious.”
“This is indeed very much like a standard Takumi situation~”
Cloud-sama and Al-sama were teasing me with smirks on their faces… I will ignore the two for now.
“”Ya~y. Another member to the family~””
When it came to Allen and Elena, they were overjoyed and hugged the little gryphon.

A Long-time Aspiration of the Housekeeper.
My name is Bella, the housekeeper in the service of this Paulette family.
I am the most senior of the three maidservants.
I used to be a maidservant at the Royal court, but after I retired, the Old Master rehired me.
I was assigned by the Old Master to be the caretaker of the Master, in other words, of Henry's father.
In the midst of all this, the Master had a chance encounter...

A superior is responsible for the mismanagement of their subordinates.
“In other words, I have to beat up that little brother of yours instead!”
“Wait! How did you come to that conclusion!? He’s only sleeping!”
“He abandoned his child! Although it wasn't his intention, he gave birth to Haru, so he should have protected him!”
“He did protect me. While he was awake.”
Haru looked despondent. It’s his father, so he didn’t seem to d...

At any rate, the little wind spirits apologized to Haru in a proper and sincere manner, so he forgave them, but the Spirit King of Wind was also responsible for leaving them alone. So, I returned to the temple.

“You should have been notified by now, but there is a harvesting exercise held around this time every year. Even though it's on the campus, it’s near the outdoors, so be careful.”
“Practicing near the outdoors…? Understood. We will be careful.”

No, no, no, Otousama wouldn't allow that, no matter how much they want to. He is the kind of person who would not back down, even when dealing with His Majesty.

Surprise
Today we were at the castle.
The reason being, it was about the inventory of horses that Allen and Elena had been given as a birthday present. As expected, we couldn't accept horses… so we politely replied to their refusal in a letter. But the royal family was not convinced.
The children's eyes lit up when they were invited to come and see the horses, so I clearly told them they were only going to “play” with them.
“The stables are over there....

They're so delicious.

Ernst was curious about Tsu-san.

Haru panned away, predicting what Rinka will do.

The spirits were literally rounded up.

“Yes! That’s right!”
The Spirit King of Wind did not seem to have any ill feelings toward Haru. He replied honestly.

The teary-eyed Mariel-chan clung to my arm, trembling and shaking.
Mhm, leave it to me.
I will even wield the authority of the Ducal household, which I don't usually use, to protect you, Mariel-chan!

Wouldn’t this make me “The Villainess who borrows the power of the Duke?”
I realized that I was about to inadvertently pull a Villainess move and broke out in a cold sweat inside.

There was no lecture like this held for us, but since we had already been under contract for a long time and had no problems with it until now, this kind of lecture had seemed to have been intentionally omitted.

Things have finally settled down after the engagement of Rabisha-chan and Alphage-sama, the Gator matter, and catching the mastermind who attacked when at the engagement party.
Today was the trial of the Spirit King of Wind. The temple was located at the top of a rocky mountain where the wind blew strong.
This time, Rinka said she had thought of a strategy, so I decided to leave it to her. The members were myself, Dirk, Jash, and Ernst.

When I asked the question, Ruby looked puzzled for a moment, but immediately burst out laughing, clutching his stomach.
“Ahahaha! Ah~ how funny. Oh sheesh, we are not acquaintances at all. It’s just she swooped down at me before in her previous form, and I beat her at her own game.”
After a short laugh, Ruby finally calmed down and answered with a sniffle.
