Glory for the Earth Magic! , By : Torimaru Karasuma / 已己巳己

We proceeded as written on the guide plate, and the Wilderness dormitory comes into view. At the entrance of the dormitory, there was only the name of the goddess with a statue of Wilderness standing.

“That…… ?”

“What happened?”

“I, no. It is nothing, I think it’s because of the gas.”

I felt uncomfortable for a moment when I saw the statue…… especially the chest part of Wilderness at the entrance that I involuntarily let out my voice, then Yatsufusa came talk to me but I answered it was nothing.
Well, it’s the same as the one I saw in the blacksmith city, but I feel like the chest part could be softening. Something more small……

“Ouch.”

Considering such a thing, a small stone hits my head. I look around to see who threw it, but there was no one other than me and Yatsufusa. I run to Yatsufusa who was walking ahead of me with a question mark on his head.

Wilderness dormitory was a 4-story building with white walls and a simple appearance. A middle-aged woman with glasses was sitting down in the center of what seemed to be a reception desk.

“Are you the freshman?”

When the woman with glasses spoke, I and Yatsufusa nodded then the woman clears her throat with ⌊Kohon⌉ and speaks.

“Then please be at ease in the lobby because people gather here for the explanations. The toilet is located on the right side, also thank you for not going up the stairs.”

Yatsufusa and I were told as such so we rested in the lobby. There were plush chairs and glass-ish material table in the lobby, it was somehow made in the image of a hotel somewhere. When Yatsufusa and I were resting and having  a silly conversation, children of various ages went down in sequence. Head student girl…… also students who were cats, birds, and various other non-human species walked in, there were also demon-ish students here and there.

When the woman in the reception counted the number of people, she began to explain.

“First of all, let us introduce ourselves, my name is Neve, the head dorm leader. I’m in charge of pharmacy so it’s better to choose it since it’s a subject in my class”

It says pharmacy is related to teaching you about drugs.Man, it seems in fantasy there are ways to use herbs and recover like a drake had been written…… in the brochures we’re going to be taught lessons about it.
In this school, language and history are in the morning, teaching math (only simple calculations since math is not that developed), in the afternoon there’s training with magic and the selection class Neve was talking bout.
For selection classes, there are various other fields such as fighting and dealing with weapons. If one learns in this school, you can learn styles of fighting and ways of support. So large, since this is a magic school, the expanded lessons are quite diverse. Apparently, I don’t know what’s going on right now because I only heard from the pamphlets and father.
I want to think not that much change, but there’s that funky school head. I can’t imagine how much had changed since father graduated.
Neve-sensei’s explanation continues while I think of such things.

“First of all, about the rooms, you will be living with students of different age making a basic 4 person room. This is trying to broaden the field of view when coming together with a variety of ages by the intentions of the founders. I am sorry to those who believe it’s okay to be in the same room with the opposite gender, but this will be split into men’s and girl’s dormitory, that was a joke.”

I wonder about Neve-sensei’s joke, there was only dry laughter here and there because of her straight face.

“Then the basic use of the lobby is until 10 p.m as long as there is no permission from a teacher to spend time in this room. In addition, there is also the basic prohibition to going into the opposite gender’s dorm.”

Well, usually that’s an ordinary rule.

“Since it has been written in the rule book, it’s a basic thing to confirm it time to time.”

Neve-sensei comes give a thing booklet to everyone so I line up in the front row when she says that. The contents of this book were the rules of the dormitory like the ones I heard earlier.

“And for the rooms, in this place, we’re going to assign room numbers on paper. Boys stay here, girls please come over here. The number written on the paper will be your room so please pull it respectively. Also those with young ages, please do not worry as this box does not take magic.”

Induced by Neve-sensei, the boys and girls split as described. I confirmed the lines and went behind Yatsufusa when Neve-sensei speaks.

“Oh, why are you there?”

At first, I did not know who she was speaking to, I looked around just like everyone else then I notice Neve-sensei’s line of sight was on me.

“What? Me?”

“Yes, it is. There is no confirmation for the time being, but are you sure you want to be in the boy’s since you are wearing a boys uniform?”

I wonder why sensei suddenly brought this up.

“Oh, that, Alba is a man……”

Yatsufusa enters when Neve-sensei and I were having that conversation. Neve-sensei takes a close look at my face then makes an apologetic expression.

“Oh. I’m sorry I looked wrongly since you had long hair and a cute face.”

I might have rejoiced  being called cute if I was a woman, unfortunately, it’s not my hobby to be called cute. Well, it’s also my responsibility since I grew my hair out so I answer without minding it.
After confirming that back row, Neve-sensei goes back to the front giving another apology, then we draw a lottery from the box one by one.

“Hey …… do I look like a girl?”

When I ask Yatsufusa with a low voice, he says this with a bitter smile.

“Even for a man you look well, I might be mistaken at glance by the long hair and clean face. Oh, I also thought you were a girl at first, but there was a different smell.”

The smell . To think it had such a smell, it was the smell of my body, Yatsufusa comes to follow-up in a hurry.

“Oh, ah, I’m different right? You know I can……  smell Alba-kun  since I’m a werewolf right? Being able to smell the difference between man and woman is normal for a werewolf’s nose.”

Oh, I see. Wolf is also a dog. I have heard dogs put a spoonful of sugar and 2 cups of water in a pool inside of the school, I’m sure there is probably a gender specific smell in humans I do not know about.
Convinced by that person, my turn finally came and I stuck my hand in the middle grabbing the first paper I touched.
The paper has 314 written on it, Yatsufusa’s one has 315 so our rooms seem adjacent from each other.

We both had finished the lottery so I and Yatsufusa had our rooms direction given and headed there. Each of us arrived there standing in front of our doors confirming its numbers, we were on the third floor.
It seems like I was the fourth person since three people already signed their name on the plate of my room. It looks like Yatsufusa will have one more person come since there are only two names on his .
Anyways, I knocked on the door then entered after hearing “dozo”.

“Hey!? A Girl!? A girl entered!”

When I went into the room, my body involuntarily became rigid since someone cried out. What, I’m not scared!
The owner of the voice was a boy with freckles wearing a Hitonatsuko smiling with blond hair and the looks of a friendly 15-year-old.

“Oh? You made a mistake but here is the men’s dormitory, I’m Jonando! A low-class nobleman at 14-year-olds! Tentatively noblemen are recruiting girls. Hey hey! You’re cute! What’s your name? “

The boy named Jonando was being very imprudent in spite that this was our first meeting. Giving up slightly, I open my mouth.

“My name is Alba. I am also a low-class noble like you. By the way, please don’t make a mistake because I am a “man”. Thank you in advance.”

“A man? Really?”

Not believing my words, Jonando looks at my face and touch my chest with a ⌊petapeta⌉ while I was nodding while openly having a disappointed face.

“…… Well, I’m Sorry. That “cold” Neve would never let a girl come here. To begin with, you’re even wearing the boys uniform”

Jonando’s tension went down and he fell back into his chair whining with his waist hanging. In various ways, he’s an indescribable straight man. Well, personally to be popular both sides should have a favorable impression
Again making sure of the room, there was a two-by-two desk on the left and right side of the room, bunk beds in the back one on the left and right side have been placed.
I confirm the rest of the room and the rest of the two people come do self-introduction. First of all, the first person to summarize it had green hair with its length just like mine, it feels like he likely has a sister taking him away as a hobby with that cute face .

“My name it Conil. I’m part of the common people. I’m 12-years-old. In regard, my inherent attribute is “ice”.”

Says Conil with a laugh like a cat. Finally, this muscles brother with short golden hair and good brown skin who seems as good as Yatsufusa opened his mouth.

“…… Randoriku. 17-year-old…… commoner. Inherent attribute earth. I’m the master of this room due to the rules. Room master is determined by…… Liaison, this is done by the oldest.”

He seemed like a reticent attribute, but I’m more worried about his inherent attribute.

“That …… you said earth attribute?”

“Oh! You! Don’t be a fool just because Randoriku is earth! Certainly, my elder brother and father are earth but I don’t look down on it . This guy is more dependable and gentle than anyone, don’t make a fool of this fellow!”

Jonando’s was depressed until a little while ago crying then suddenly became cheerful. Of course, I wasn’t a fool being mean, I was just happy since I met a person with the same attribute as me.

“Oh, it’s a misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Well, I was glad because I met someone who also had the earth attribute. Anyway … I’ve heard earth is unfortunate but are gentle.”

“So ……! So I’m right! It’s just no one is interested in the earth attribute! this looks I say Even those who have acquired earth attribute think it’s only good for building. Oh! My Inherent attribute is fire.”

Well, I apparently thought he was just a frivolous boy, but he’s surprisingly hot about friendship. The atmosphere has broken my view of nobles primarily since in most fiction stereotypes, noble = mean.

“⌊Kohon⌉. Well, I’ll self-introduce myself again. My name is Alba. I’m now 9-years-od. I thank you for what you said earlier since my Inherent attribute is earth”

Saying so, I lowered my head with a ⌊pekori⌉ to the three welcoming people. When I thought I got a good room, an incongruous voice is heard from my bag.

“Fuwa. I slept well. Hey, Alba! Did you arrive at the school already?”

The owner of the voice was Aldi who was sleeping in my bag.

“Oh, hey Alba! What’s the little girl!?”

Sure enough, the three people were surprised (Randoriku’s was what’d you say to a degree of raising his eyebrow slightly) when Jonando-san questioned with a shout.
It really matters, you could choose less misleading words instead of saying little girl.
Well, I calmed them down then explained about Aldi then introduce her.

“Well, this child is my friend a spirit of the earth I contracted, her name is Aldi.”

“I’m Aldi! Alba is my large best friend! Hello! Freckles! Muscles! Shota!”

Aldi suddenly busts out a greeting to the other party with an innocent smile.
Shota, where did she learn such words, then I recalled I shared my memory with her so it’s probably from that. I rebuke while correcting Aldi at the same time.

“You, dude! What are you doing with a contracted spirit Alba?!”

“But isn’t it that you usually should not be able to see the spirit someone else contracted with?”

“… (body)”

From top to bottom, it was Jonando-san, Conil, and Randoriku.

“Well, when I asked her to enter the doll I made with clay everyone could talk with her.”

“Wow, amazing I did not know any better.”

“Yeah, I think it’s the first time someone put it in a body of a doll.”

” … (body) “

The three people speak unanimously in the same order as before. I mean Randoriku talk! Even there is a degree of being silent.

Apparently, my worry about them seemed unfounded as the three people accepted Aldi.
The night was raised until late talking about a variety of stories with the three people.
