Chapter 46: Why Running? Even Though Itâs Magic Practical Training
TN: Special thanks to Micheal C. for the amazing coffee. An extra chapter was released in appreciation.

The opposite sex is prohibited from entering the basic dormitory.
Boys are not allowed in the girlâs dormitory, and girls are not allowed in the boyâs dormitory without permission.
Normally, itâs no good, but if you apply to the student council and get permission, you can enter. Because some of the servants brought by aristocrats are of the opposite sex, It seems there will be various problems if itâs completely off-limits.
Erica and Natalie immediately got permission from the Student Council.
There is a separate staircase leading to the 3rd and 4th floors where the upper aristocrats live.
There are always guards at the entrance to the stairs, who strictly check if those who are entering do not have a permit on their chest. The security is perfect.
From now on, weâll eat every meal in my room, Mifaâs movement seems to be difficult, but Iâm glad it wasnât Mifaâs room.
To be honest, it would be difficult if I was supposed to go out every time.
âZe, ze ⊠huh, huh ⊠huh âŠâ
âLuke, do your bestâ
âThis staircase is tight every time âŠâ
Iris supports me, but itâs a real pain going up to the 4th floor!
âLuke, we have 90 minutes for lunch, since weâve taken a lot of time, this time, weâll cook light dishes.â
âYeah. Anything is fine.â
I sit on the leather chair of the reception set I bought the other day, and watch the three beautiful girls cooking without hesitation while drinking the tea brewed by Iris.
What a luxurious sight!
Apron in school uniform!
In Japan, how much would you pay to make it happen âŠ
ââȘ Youâre thinking like an old man! Itâs vulgar! ă\
âBut, canât It make money in Japan? ă\
ââȘ Itâs true that you can make money not only in the other world, but also in this world âŠâ
The three maids are cooking, but sometimes I hear words that interest me.
Words about me ⊠âmake him lose weightâ, âmoderate amountâ.
âLuke, didnât we bother you suddenly? Iâm really sorry, Emilia also.â
Mifa worriedly asked me.
âHuh? I was surprised, but itâs not annoying. However, this meal will be tense until I get used to it âŠâ
âAre you nervous?â
âIâm the only man in the midst of five girls, right? Iâm a little nervous cause Iâm surrounded by cute girls. Itâll be fun once I get used to it.â
âMifa neesan, rather, Iâm glad that you got in between us like this. It would have been hard for me to even seat like this If it was just me. Um ⊠Luke-sama ⊠a little ⊠I have something to ask you. â
Emilia talked to me by herself!
âWhat is it?â
âDonât you care about my true face?â
Iâve been a little hesitant to ask â
ââȘ Everyone wants to see her true face, but you didnât show much interest, so she seems to be very interested.â
âIf I say Iâm not interested, Iâm lying ⊠Iâm curious, but youâre worried that if you show me your true face, Iâll change my mind and attack you, right?â
âThatâs ⊠no⊠yes. I donât think Iâll be attacked, but I think youâll be interested and change your attitude âŠâ
Mifa is next to me and I canât lie so I immediately rephrased it and conveyed my true feelings.
âFor me, who doesnât know your true face, I canât help but think, âThis over-self-conscious woman! But I was glared at by your houseâs knights the other day, so I guess itâs probably cute.â
âUfufu, thatâs right. The elite knights were frozen under the intimidation of Jail-sama.â
âDid that happen?â
Mifa briefly told Emilia how it happened.
âThe knights of my house were very rude! Iâm sorry.â
Emilia bowed deeply and apologized.
âWell, most of the rumors are true, but the knights know Emiliaâs true face, donât they?â
âYes. I declined social occasions such as parties, but I participated in official events in the territory ⊠If It were a knight, they would have been there as escorts. I think they know my true face. â
âYou just sit down for the most part of the evening. I see âŠâ
ââȘ They donât really love her because they saw her face. It seems that the cause of her popularity is information given to the male knights by the female knights and the maids, and also sisters of the church. It seems that Emiliaâs gentle behavior during their service quickly created rumors. â
âItâs the exact opposite of Luke, whose known for causing problemsâ
âUm ⊠itâs a rude act to the royal family, to be disguising himself, so if Luke wants to see it, Iâll remove the collar âŠâ
âNavi! What do you think ă\
ââȘ You want to see it, but be patient here. Itâs more likely that sheâll open her mind if sheâs not alert than if sheâs anxious about what you see. Sheâs still talking to you while nervous. You donât need to know her true face right now. If you canât help it, Iâll show you an image of her real face later. â
âYou can do that too. Then, I guess I want to see It ⊠Show me at night. â
ââȘ I understandâ
âNo wait, Itâs fine as it is. Didnât Mifa say? Whatâs inside is more important than you see.â
ââȘ I said I could help you see it, but this was the correct answer, Iâm relieved. However, you may need to be careful because she may stick to the collar and be like âIâm relieved because I have a collarâ. â
âSo you get it. After all, this girl is troublesome ⊠â
They said they would cook lightly, but the food served was delicious.
Natalie seems to be a good cook, and it seems Iâll be able to eat delicious food for three years.

Itâs practical skill class from the afternoon â
âThen, first of all, 10 laps around the field!â
Why run for magic skills!
ââȘ This is a knight academy ⊠You canât march as a knight without the minimum physical strength. I wonât accept âI canât keep up cause Iâm a rearguardâ. Itâs also required to get the minimum physical strength in the first year. â
âI understand the theory, but ⊠huh hah, Iâll die ⊠Thatâs it! ă\
I come up with an idea! If itâs like this, climbing the stairs will be much easier in the future!
âCome on! Luke! Itâs forbidden to lighten your weight with [Float] magic! Donât cheat! That wonât give you any physical strength!â
The moment I used it, I got caught!
ââȘ Iâm a magic teacher. My [Magic detection] is naturally excellent. â
There are 5 teachers in the practical class. At least two of them are always in class, but it seems different people will be in charge depending on the day. Teachers also have different main attributes that theyâre good at.
Hmmm, Iâm already lapped behind, and I can hear voices of ridicule from around me.
âLook! It looks like an orc is really running!â
âAhaha, donât say that, but itâs just like that.â
I run hard while my stomach bounces, but my body is heavy and I canât speed up.
This is even though my skill level of [Physical Strengthening] has been raised to 5 using [Customize].
ââȘ Thatâs right. After all, itâs like running with four filled-up kerosene cans. If you set [Physical Strengthening] to level 7, it will be much easier. â
âItâs like this at level 5, it wonât change that much if I raise it by two, right? ă\
ââȘ No, the dimension is different after level 6. At level 10, you can jump vertically to the second floor of the school building with your current weight. If you train and lose weight, you should be able to go to the 3rd floor easily. â
âThe second floor! Since it is a school building, thatâs 4m? 8m? Seriously, the 3rd floor! ă\
ââȘ With [Physical Strengthening] Any level 8 adventurer can do that much. The masterâs basic physical strength is just too low. What do you do when youâre losing to the blind Mifa! Please try your best! ă\
Mifa, who is being pulled by Erica, is running half a lap ahead of me. Of course, she canât run that fast even if she can see a little in a bright place outside. In other words, now Iâm more walking than running. With each lap, my pace slows down.
On the 8th lap, except for me, everyone had finished running and took a break.
In such a situation, I inevitably attract attention, and my classmates secretly whisper to each other while looking at me.
âHeâs shaking more than you!â
âHow rude!â
âPrince seems to have a B cup, arenât you an A cup that doesnât shake?â
Shit! Certainly, theyâre about C cups if you measure them!
âAh!
âOh my!â
âWow, that should hurt âŠâ
My legs got tangled and I fell down.
Uu~~ itâs embarrassing!
âCome on! Itâs a shameful act, laughing at someone whoâs running so hard! Luke-sama are you okay?â
âââWeâre sorry!âââ
Stop Mifa! Youâre making it worse!
Iris rushes to raise me and treat me with healing magic, but itâs kind of sad.
I wanted to say âI can use recovery magic myself! I donât need help!â but didnât.
I wouldâve regretted it later if I had put it in my mouth ⊠I have to lose weight quickly!
