「Morning, Mira-chan」
「Morning」
「Good Morning. Huh, where’s Nasha-chan?」
Lina-chan and I arrived late at the breakfast table. Mira-chan wonders why Nasha-chan, whom I took with me yesterday, isn’t here.
「Nasha-chan’s still sleeping」
「I see. Did she oversleep?」
「No, she’s in her shell」
「Huh?」
Yeah. After a full night of cuddling with her and Lina-chan, we were about to go out and eat when Nasha-chan said she was feeling sleepy and went straight to her shell. Now she’s sleeping in her silver shell. I plan to bring her food later.
「I-I see. Nasha-chan’s retreated to her shell…」
「Yeah. But, what do we do about her class? Oh, I could just ask Ceres」
I think she’ll be fine after a rest but I can check with Ceres-san, our dorm manager to make sure.
Feeling relieved, I’m now hungry. My stomach was growling because I used a lot of magic and energy yesterday.
「～♪ ～♪」
Lina-chan next to me seems to be in a good mood and is eating heartily this morning. As expected, she got hungry after doing a workout too. We also have to bring a lot of breakfast for Nasha-chan.
「Both of you eat a lot」
「Food is a source of strength. You have to eat a lot to get strong」
When I was injured by Lina-chan’s fire, they said that I was malnourished and in danger. In other words, food = vitality = magic So, I trained myself to eat a lot of food. I feel like a competitive eater.
It was hard to wrestle with a pile of tasteless potatoes, but here, it’s not hard at all because I can have delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I was relieved to see that cooking techniques in this world are properly developed, with a variety of ingredients served in many different ways.
After breakfast, I took Nasha-chan’s food and returned to the room with Ceres-san and Mira-chan. Let’s not make Nasha-chan eat hot and spicy food today. I brought yogurt, stew, and an ice cream bucket.
After having a part of her shell opened, Ceres-san first inspected Nasha-chan’s dragon crest. The blue dragon crest glows weakly, strongly, and flashing.
「There doesn’t seem to be any issues. I’ll explain the situation to the school, you can stay and take a break」
Ceres-san’s examination says it’s fine. I gave Nasha-chan the food I brought and we watched her have a meal together. Ceres-san left right away.
「Okay then, see you later tonight Nasha-chan」
After finishing breakfast with a healthy appetite, Nasha-chan got sleepy and Mira-chan left the room.
「Nasha-chan, open your mouth」
「Aah…」
I placed my dick in front of Nasha-chan’s lips she opened it slightly.
「Here’s your dessert. Don’t leave any leftovers」
「Okay~❤」
Nasha-chan had her dessert and slept soundly.
It was time to go to school after pouring some on Lina-chan’s belly, who was wearing a school uniform next to the sleeping Nasha-chan.

The morning hour starts with combat.
Lina-chan and Mira-chan observe the boy shaving a mock battle with each other and making a lot of noise.
I learn a lot from looking a them, or rather, my understanding deepens.
For example, the attributes, there are four, fire, water, wind, and earth. There are at least three in the class, and the most common attribute is fire having six boys, and seven if you include Lina-chan.
Other attributes are Nasha-chan’s ice, Mira-chan’s lightning, and Leonard-kun’s light, but there’s another boy with the iron attribute, only one of each.
It seems to be divided into four attributes and rare attributes. While Leonard-kun is one of the stronger boys, it seems that the rare attributes aren’t necessarily strong, since the boy with iron attributes usually loses.
As for the strength of the boys, it’s like a bragging contest. Leonard-kun’s about half a head better, but Aaron-kun, a Junkiryu, and another boy are slightly inferior. It’s only a gap that you can catch up quickly if you train hard enough. The only student who stands out as a genius or a prodigy was Mira-chan, I guess?
Lina-chan also gained experience from the mock battles with me, so I think the two of them are going to compete for the top position of the year.
However, Mira-chan doesn’t seem to be warlike, and Lina-chan has stopped trying to pick a fight with anyone. It’ll be a while before a showdown between Lina-chan and Mira-chan as Buono-sensei’s likely to be busy with the boy’s competition.

After the matches are over, it’s time to study, but it’s interesting to see how many new things I discover whenever I go to class.
「Today’s class will be about cards. Group yourselves into three」
Buono-sensei’s holding a bundle of cards.
What’s this? Playing Cards?
It is playing cards, containing the four basic attributes, fire, water, wind, and earth, as faces then the jokers are light and dark. Written on the picture cards are two knights and a lord. The light and dark jokers had crests painted in them.
「The knight/lord on this card is depicted as the Kiryu who accomplished great feats. It’s been changed many times before, but it’s a great honor to be chosen as the card’s illustration」
According to Buono-sensei, the cards are issued by the Kingdom, ranking the best knights and lords recognized by them.
Lords and knights who pay a lot of taxes and defeat powerful enemies are chosen to be the picture of the cards. The cards are renewed every year and chosen from the living lords and knights, but if someone dies after risking their life to accomplish a great deed, the card’s design will be replaced for one year only.
For example, if one fights an invading Shinryu, and the Kiryu loses their life in a conflict, they almost certainly will be selected for the card. Losing life means gaining honor, that’s how it works.
「I’m gonna be in the card too!」
「If Father isn’t here, then the card maker’s yes is clouded」
「Hey, hey, did you know? This, this」
Mira-chan takes out one of the cards and shows it to Lina-chan and me.
It shows a cool-looking man in shades of blue and white.
「This is Nasha-chan’s papa. He’s the lord of the big territory in the north」
Nasha-chan’s much more of a young lady than I thought. I don’t know how many lords are there in this country, but it seems that she’s one of the daughters of the top four great lords.
