I stood there watched by many people. Behind me were the other examinees. At the edge of my vision were the exam proctors. Whether sporting beards, wearing monocles, or dressed alluringly, these people of various varieties all uniformly glared at me with appraising eyes. Yeah, this is definitely making me nervous. "Examinee number..., Arcs Fort. Please begin your examination." However, without time to settle my nerves, the exam proctor announced the start signal. Well, having come this…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
"All these people here are examinees, right..." "That's right. As expected of a prestigious school that gathers people from around the world." "...I didn't know there were this many people in the world." The carriage stopped, and what jumped into our view as we disembarked was a flow of people coming and going like a muddy torrent. Eleanore was somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer number of people. While Egenhardt was by no means a small town, it rarely gathered a population of this…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
Royal Lytisia Academy, Knight Training Program.

Outside the window, a crescent moon shone in the night sky. I was in Eleanore's room. Lately, during this time of day, I always visited her. A man and woman of marriageable age alone together in a room at night—that's pretty dangerous, isn't it? That's what I think when I calm down and consider it. I'm surprised my father-in-law Adalbert allows this. Does it mean he trusts me that much? No, wait—is it possible he doesn't even know? Coming here is always at Eleanore's own…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
Razer Kilmond. The second son of the Kilmond Viscount family. Foul-mouthed with a domineering personality. Rather than the so-called "ore-sama type," he should be called a "childish type" character. However, his feelings for the protagonist are sincere, and his looks are top-tier. Perhaps capturing maidens' hearts with that gap moe, he had a fair amount of popularity among players. ...I couldn't really grow to like him though. His bratty childishness left a stronger impression than his…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
"I'm terribly sorry!!" When we moved Razer, who had caused the commotion, to a separate room, the first person to arrive there was his older brother, Caesar Kilmond. The other one of the boys who had caught my eye earlier. And if Razer was a capture target, then without exception, he was also a capture target. Caesar's personality was the complete opposite of Razer's. With bright golden hair and eyes, a gentle demeanor, and what you'd call princely charm, he was a character who boasted quite…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
After that, when we returned to the mansion... or rather, what greeted me were enthusiastic offers from the nobles. Apparently, word had spread that there was a child servant who was friendly with Eleanore, calmly pacified the aggressive Razer, and dealt with being attacked and punched with composure! They seemed to have come to get in early, thinking he might become a notable figure someday. One or two would have been manageable, but when more than ten people came at me, I was honestly…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
As night deepened, the lights in the mansion gradually began to go out. I took a short nap... or rather, I dozed off, and thanks to that, my head felt refreshed. Perhaps because of that, my vision was somewhat clearer too. My eyelids weren't naturally drooping either. Having finished cleaning up and completing my reports, I walked alone down this now pitch-black corridor. Combined with it being a Western-style mansion, it felt somewhat like a haunted spot from my previous life. I wouldn't be…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
For a while, we enjoyed conversation and sweets. Well, it was the night after a big party ended, so there were plenty of things to talk about. Combined with the confections made by a first-class patissier, it was truly an enjoyable time. "Shall I prepare some tea as well?" As the arranged plates began to empty, Eleanore said that, though it seemed a bit late. She extended her white, delicate hand toward the cupboard. It was certainly not a distance where her hand could reach by…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
Three times the moon had waxed and waned since that night of the birthday party. The hectic days had ended, and peaceful days had returned once again. However, my heart had been terribly disturbed since that day. The cause of it all was the truth I had learned that night. In less than 5 years, I will die. Moreover, 5 years is merely the time until the main story begins, and there's a high possibility I'll die before that... probably 3 or 4 years from now. So whether I die tomorrow or…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
