Restrain yourself, Ms. Yenika (3)
Orte Palover was a man who could already be called an expert when it came to livestock farming.
In fact, there is no one native to Toren village in Pulan who does not know much about cows and sheep. In this village, where there were far more cows than people, a person who couldn’t do even one thing properly couldn’t be treated as a person who did his job well.
He is a famous worker in the village. His dependable figure stands out with his solid muscles and wide shoulders. In addition to his generous personality, he also has a firm mind…
It was natural that Seila, a peddler who came to sell daily necessities while buying milk and firewood, fell in love with him.
The reason why a true young woman named Yenica Palover was born from Orte Palover, who was overflowing with wildness and masculine blood… This is because she had a wife named Seila who was elegant and energetic.
Orte and Seila.
The Palover Ranch run by the couple, which can be said to be the entirety of the Palover family… One way or another, it is the most famous ranch in Toren Village.
It may not seem like a lot for two people to manage, but I have a wonderful daughter who comes up every vacation and helps out, and I also get help from the villagers during the peak season, so we manage to manage it well.
“Honey, I left the letter on the table when it arrived. Did you see it? Well, Yenika received another student commendation this time!”
“This much in Sylvania… My daughter… Isn’t he too capable… ?”
“I heard that spirit magic has grown to a truly amazing level… If you think about when Yenika was young, she would always hang out with the spirits in the alpine region, right? “I guess it was all foreshadowing.”
Sayla was smiling brightly, dressed as a village woman, with her sleeves rolled up.
In fact, it was safe to say that all of Jenica’s vitality was inherited from Seila.
“More than half of the second semester of my third year has already passed, so I’ll have to treat myself to a proper feast when I return in the winter.”
“still… It won’t just turn around out of nowhere like last time… . “It’s hard to see my daughter unless she’s on vacation.”
“I thought about it, and I don’t think we were very considerate of Yenika at the time. honey.”
There was already a story going around in Toren Village about Yenica Palover’s pure love.
It was so hard for Yenika, who was very shy, to endure it, so she decided to take refuge on Aken Island until she got over the rumors.
After Ort and Sayla realized that fact, they decided that the next time Jenica came, they would never provoke her, but would slowly, subtly, and gently find out who Jenica was in her heart.
No one seemed to have any disagreement about the fact that Yenika would probably return home early for next winter vacation.
Just like that, time passed steadily in Toren Village.
As befits a rural pastoral village, each day passes without much change, except for seasonal changes.
It is difficult to realize that time is passing by while working on a ranch.
Still, from time to time, when news from outside the village is updated or an acquaintance contacts him, Orte feels the passage of time.
My friend from abroad is getting older, my own grumpy beard is growing, the sun rises and sets faster…
As we live each day as we move toward winter, news from outside is the only variable that can confirm the passage of time.
A week after the news that Jenica Failover received a student commendation, a letter praising Ortega Sayla for her work arrived at the Failover Ranch.
The couple almost flipped out when they saw the sender. It was a personal letter written by Fenia Elias Cloel, the third princess of the Cloel royal family.
“… .This… what… .”
“P…Princess Fenia personally wrote a letter and gave it to me… But… ”
“What does it say, Seila? I can’t read this old-fashioned cursive… ”
“therefore… Congratulations to Yenica Palover for her many achievements… It’s something that acknowledges our contribution in raising that child well… honey..”
I knew that Yenika tended to fly and crawl a bit in Sylvania, but I had no idea that a personal letter from the princess would arrive.
“Yenika… surely… You’re doing well… ”
“It seems like something big happened in the Rosstaylor family. Although news has not yet reached this remote area… Anyway, it seems like Yenika played a big part in resolving such a great family accident.”
“okay… ? Well, I also heard a similar rumor when I was out in the city the other day. They say there was a disaster centered around the Rosstaylor family, and the story is that Yenika was involved in it… ?”
I remember the image of Yenika diligently milking a cow with her sleeves rolled up and a triangular bandana pulled over her forehead. It’s a memory that doesn’t match what was written in her letter.
Ortega Sayla doesn’t know much about the dramatic growth Jenica has achieved in Sylvania. Maybe it’s because I’m from the countryside, but I don’t really understand how special it is to deal with high-ranking spirits.
But one thing is certain… They said their daughter was doing better than expected right now.
“Yeah, yeah… ! Yenika! You’re doing great! To be honest, I never thought I would receive a personal letter from the princess… “It looks like you’re really making a name for yourself!”
“yes… ! I didn’t expect her to be this kind, but I think she did the right thing by sending Jenica to Sylvania! Ho ho ho!”
“To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be this bad, so I was a little embarrassed, but… This is Master Orte’s daughter! I have to do this at least! “I’m so proud of you, Yenika!”
The following month, news broke that Jenica Palover had been granted the title of Baron as a vassal of the Rothtaylor family under the protection of Princess Fenia.
“… ”
“… ”
“… ”
On the table, an old vassal of the Rosstaylor family was placing a longsword with an emblem symbolizing his position as a baron.
Next to it was a shield seal with an ornate pattern, and a document showing awards and medals indicating that the person came from a noble family.
The retainer who had come all the way to this rough terrain to report the news slowly lowered his head and spoke.
“I meet the great masters of the Pale Rover Barony, Orte Pale Rover and Sayla Pale Rover.”
Even at first glance, they were gifts that looked luxurious and expensive.
Orte couldn’t hide his embarrassed face and asked the old vassal.
“What is all this… ?”
“In accordance with the courtesy of a military lord, you may not speak to me. “My name is Neldrek, a vassal from the Rothtaylor duchy, and I am a servant of Baron Palover, who has recently been granted the territory of Kelclon Plains and Daren Mountain in the northwest of the duchy.”
“Did I hear something wrong…” ? homecoming… Is it broken… ?”
Vassal Neldrek was originally in a position to assist Duke Rosstaylor, who worked for the imperial family. However, now that he had been pushed out of central power, he was now handling the duke’s duties.
“I am in a position to assist Baron Yenica Palover in his work.”
“Yenika… The Baron… ?”
“Yes that’s right. Currently, the Baron is unable to take care of the Barony because he is concentrating on his studies, so I am acting as regent for the affairs of the Barony until he completes his studies. Still, it is polite to personally greet the two great owners… “I’ve come a long way.”
“… ”
“Certainly, the air in the Pulan region seems to be good. “The scenery is beautiful and the place is full of vitality. It is probably because the Baron was born and raised in a place like this that he was able to gain such virtue.”
Orte held his breath as he watched Neldrek telling the story naturally.
Rumors had already begun to circulate in the village that the Palover family had become a noble family. It is rumored that he also has a connection with the famous Ross Taylor ducal family, and even gave them a separate estate.
Even though it was my daughter, I couldn’t help but ask myself.
what… Are you going around doing this? .
*
“Yenica became a baron!”
“And I heard you were directly under the protection of Princess Fenia?”
“that. okay… ? In the past, when Jenica talked about Princess Fenia, her expression got scared… ”
“Well, it is said that the Ross Taylor duke family took the lead in enthronement… ”
“Then Yenika… is a noble now…” ?”
“Not only that, but you also have the qualifications to access central power.”
“Well, Yenika has a strong sense of being kind and innocent, so there are times when it’s not obvious… “She was definitely incredibly talented!”
“Wow! Yenika, who was fighting with me, is a noble?! Baron?!”
“I’m going to show off later. “I was Jenica’s roommate when she was using Dex.”
“I often go with you when I go to the living area to buy snacks!”
As Jenika was from a commoner background, most of her friends were also simple commoners.
Perhaps because they were so surprised by the fact that a nobleman had emerged from their group, excited rumors swirled around the early morning bachelor’s hall.
When someone succeeds, there are many people who congratulate them, but on the other hand, there are also many who express envy and jealousy.
In particular, people like Yenika whose background is not particularly special, it is easy for them to be hated by ambitious people.
However, Yenica had a reputation that transcended even those laws. No one in the academy narrowed their eyes at Yenika’s success. From the beginning, the impression was that he was a person with that level of ability.
In fact, there were many people in Sylvania whose origins were so noble that even a newly-crowned baron seemed like a no-brainer. So, this would end up being just a happy ending between Yenika’s acquaintances.
However, for Yenika herself, it was a once-in-a-lifetime event.
“Ed… I can’t be a noble… ”
Yenica is seen in tears in the corner of the elemental science classroom in the school building, holding a large cane with a sullen face.
“… “Why are you crying, Yenika?”
“I was happy at first, but something… What about the territory…what about the management of the vassals… I started to feel overload in my head because I thought I needed to learn things like King’s Studies and Yonginjutsu… ”
The Baron Palover family under the Duke of Rosstaylor.
On the surface, they seemed to be in a military-dominant relationship, but in reality, they were just friends.
Yenica Palover, a spiritist who has made a name for herself by earning recognition for her skills alone.
He is credited with saving numerous nobles from the tragedy at Duke Rosstaylor’s residence, and even has a record of summoning the highest-ranking spirit intact at a young age.
A person who started out as a commoner and rose to success solely based on his abilities. It was truly the perfect appointment as the face of Princess Fenia.
“that… What on earth are noble words and actions? ?!”
The location was the elemental science class in Gyosu-dong.
As I was in Class A like Yenika, I got to take classes with Yenika in all the core curriculum of the Ministry of Magic.
Thanks to that, I was able to attend Professor Kalide’s in-depth elemental studies class. It is a dream place for any student interested in elemental magic.
Before class started, I was lost in thought while looking at Yenika, who was dead.
“Something like that… Is it important… ?”
“It’s important! After I suddenly became a noble, I searched the library for records of elegant female nobles… Duchess Restina of the Klein family, Countess Deltergis, matriarch Sinir of the Bloomriver family, and Tanya of the Rosstaylor family, as well as Count Bat of Helston… “Everyone is noble and wonderful!”
Yenika asked, clasping her hands together and looking sideways.
“however… I don’t know anything! “Last time I went to the living quarters, I spilled juice at a store run by a commoner, and when I picked up a rag and tried to clean it up, the owner almost flipped out.”
“You don’t have to clean it yourself. “You can just leave it to the store owner.”
“I spilled it, I have to clean it up! And the day before yesterday, a first-year junior fell down on the street and got dust on the hem of my skirt, and he suddenly fell down and apologized! “You can just wash the skirt!”
Certainly, it is a place where the virtue of learning is more important, but it does not mean that there is no gap between noble students and commoner students.
Naturally, it is inevitable that commoners will socialize with commoners, and nobles will mingle with nobles.
Yenika, who was close to children like Clara and Anis, who had a huge social class difference, was a special breed.
“Eh, Ed usually feels like this too… ? I don’t really know what it means to live as a noble… ”
“It’s not that bad. To begin with, I was excommunicated once and hit rock bottom, and there was a long time when public opinion within the academy was not good. But since you, Yenika, have made a name for yourself within the academy, there must be something even worse.”
“Yeah, yeah… ?”
“If you can not avoid it, you might as well try and enjoy it… Being considerate isn’t a bad thing. “In Sylvania, not all nobles are treated with consideration.”
“still… I don’t think this is… ”
Yenika continued her story with a feeling of intimidation.
“Do you know what I’ve heard the most since I became a noble?”
“What?”
“Please control yourself… ”
Oh, it’s definitely worth it.
Yenika is the type of person who only gets angry when she rolls up her sleeves and takes care of every little thing.
The spilled juice incident may be a minor one, but fundamentally, he is the type of person who takes it upon himself to do all kinds of chores.
Just as Belle Maia became dissatisfied with administrative work after becoming head maid, Yenica’s actions were restricted simply by being labeled as a noblewoman.
“What should I do to become noble…?” First, let’s smile like a noble.”
“What does it mean to smile like a noble… ”
“Uh, um… Like this… Put the back of your hand to your mouth… Oh hoho… Ohhohohoho… !”
“… ”
As I looked at her with a puzzled look on her face, Yenika blushed and lowered her head, probably because her spine was heating up.
“I can’t say that something like this will make you noble, but… Still, becoming a noble didn’t mean only bad things happened. Even though it’s been less than a week since I received the territory… ”
“Did something good happen?”
“Rather than saying something happened… huh… “I feel like I understand Ed’s perspective better.”
At those words, I momentarily tilted my head.
As if Jenica was rather amused by my reaction, she cleared her face of blushing and smiled with her eyes closed.
“Ed lived his whole life as an aristocrat.”
“There was a time when that wasn’t the case. In fact, hitting rock bottom is what I remember the longest.”
“huh. “But still, I thought about that while I was next to Ed.”
Before class starts, among the students who are noisy… Yenica spoke with her arms resting on her desk.
“Ed must have lived under this weight.”
“… ”
“Of course, the difference between a duke and a baron lies in their weight. “I was able to feel something similar.”
“It’s not something worth attaching such grand meaning to… “I just lived with the circumstances.”
However, Yenika shakes her head and speaks.
“I thought about that sometimes when Ed was alone looking at the fire. I have a lot of worries that I will never understand. Well, it can’t be helped because the world we live in is different.”
“… “Have you thought about that?”
“It’s actually true. But now, I still feel less empty in my heart.”
Jenica smiled and touched the area around her forearm sheepishly.
“I feel like the distance has become a little closer. “Ed is still in a high place.”
Hehehe, that mesmerizing smile did not change whether he was a noble or a commoner.
I couldn’t really see a future where Yenica Palover would become the head of a noble family. That didn’t stop me from worrying, though…
Well, we’ll get through it anyway.

“The fastest way to learn high-level elemental magic is to just hit it a lot.”
Professor Kalide’s elemental science class always ends quickly. This is because he did not have that much intention in teaching in the first place.
However, it is a class taught by the war hero and famous wizard ‘Outlaw Kaleid’.
Despite the content being thrown around as if it were annoying, its practicality was different from what general theory professors talk about.
The practical knowledge accumulated over several years of wandering in the lawless area of Kohelton… These are things that cannot be learned from academics.
After the class ended for a long time, Professor Kalaid left me alone in the classroom and spoke.
“Looking at your current third-year level, you are the only one who can properly learn high-level elemental magic. Ed Rosstaylor. So, I’ll teach you by attribute.”
“The saying that you learn faster when you get hit is… ”
“Yeah, I plan on kicking you in the ass. With high elemental magic. “You wouldn’t die or get hurt.”
As I looked at Professor Kalide as if I was dumbfounded, he smiled and lit up a cigarette.
It was difficult to light a fire during class time when there were many students.
“The experience of being struck by high-level elemental magic is not for everyone. No matter how famous a magician is, if he fires a few shots, he gets tired and falls down, which is a high level magic. “Just because you learn one high-level magic doesn’t mean you’ll be considered the best gifted person in the Sylvanian Ministry of Magic.”
“I know that much, but… Still, isn’t it too extreme to learn while getting hit in person? ?”
“I’m saying this after trying everything. Embodiment the theory of magic efficiency and gradually develop a sense of using intermediate magic… Don’t believe those ink people. I know students like you well. “If you look at how much he can digest and how much he can handle, it’s fake.”
Professor Kallade continued his story, plucking out with his fingers the fine beard that was sticking out, as if he had not shaved.
“It is a high level magic that even I get tired if I fire a few shots a day. “Still, I’ll do my best to blow it away, so if you dodge and deal with it as much as possible, you’ll be able to see the flow of magic power and the way it’s used.”
“If you let your guard down, won’t you get a direct hit and end up in the world?”
“I know your skills well. I’m saying that because I don’t have the skills to do that. “You have to deal with it at least five or six times a day to get better quickly.”
As he said that, the white coat that Professor Kaleid was roughly wearing began to flutter.
“You’re busy too, so there’s no good point in wasting your time. “I’ll go right away.”
“… … .”
“Don’t get hit directly..”
Kaleid’s enormous magical power began to fill the classroom.
A teacher who unleashes high-level magic on his students.
To be honest, I was out of my mind.
*
“Ed! Hey, are you okay?! “Does it hurt a lot?”
“no. This doesn’t matter. On the contrary, it feels really refreshing because it feels like the growth of elemental magic, which has been sluggish recently, has been accelerated… ”
“what… ?”
The first thing I did when I got back to camp was to bandage the wounds all over my body.
The sensation of magical energy rising vertically like crazy felt as if a dam had been blocked.
Yes… The new stimulus called ‘high level magic’ felt like it was adding lubricant to my stagnant magic skills.
As someone interested in elemental science, I wanted to deal with more people. However, if you use high-ranking magic incorrectly, you can ascend to the Lord’s side in one hit. Throwing that at a student was something only a crazy person would do.
To be honest, Professor Kallade’s violent teaching methods are only possible because he teaches one-on-one… It was clear that if word got out that he had unleashed high-level magic on a student, it would be the subject of all sorts of controversies.
Nevertheless, for the first time in a while, I smiled.
Is this what gym addicts who do bodyweight exercises while tearing their muscles felt like?
Even though there is a sharp pain in my body and my wounds are trembling… A feeling of refreshment began to surge in my heart.
Looking at the increased amount of magical power sensitivity, I almost laughed out loud.
I have to admit, Outlaw Kaleid is a crazy guy… He was a person who clearly knew how to stimulate the growth of his skills.
I threw the poker into the camp fire and stood up.
I’m still not satisfied with this speed.
“Lucy.”
I went to the back of the cabin and called his name.
Near the top of the zelkova tree that the cabin is attached to, a girl can be seen sitting on a thick trunk.
A white-haired girl reading a thick book under the moon, using a small luminous magic as a light. When she sees that familiar face, she feels like she has met an old friend.
“I have some request.”
“… ?”
High-ranking magic is a magic of such extreme rarity that even famous archmages become exhausted and fail after using it several times a day.
Even if you say you have to hit someone, ordinary people don’t even have a chance to hit someone.
“I want to come down first… ?”
