After the sermon, Cain and the others gathered in the hall, including the students, for dinner.
　Then, when they were all present, a squire led them to the place to eat.
　When the door is openedーー.

　There are many dishes lined up in a single row, and chairs are arranged around a round table.
　It was a buffet style, probably in Lula's opinion based on her knowledge of her previous life. Certainly for the young students, they could share what they wanted and be satisfied.
　From salads to meat dishes to desserts, there were a variety of colorful dishes on display.

'-- wow ......'
It's true: ...... all look good.

　The squire ushered the students and teachers who entered the room to a table.
　At the same table as Cain, Telestia, Silk, and Riltana were still seated at the same table.
　Then, after making sure they were all seated, the squire handed out the pre-dinner drinks. Then Alec stood up.

'Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Drintle. We have a lord here for one thing, but I hope you will consider me as a student today. I'm sure you all thought it was a surprise, but we're doing it this way so that you can take whatever food you want. We hope that you can take what you want to eat as you please. So here's to you.

「「「「「「「「「「「「「 Cheers! 」」」」」」」」」」」」」」

　Fruit juice for the students and wine for the teachers.
　In addition, glasswork glasses, valuable in the royal capital, are on display, and the tableware is refined.
　There are commoners as well, but they are also the sons of major merchant associations, and most of the students who participated this time are the sons of nobles.
　Many of the ladies were more admired by the glasses than the drinks they toasted and drank.
　The students then looked at the colorful dishes laid out and took them back to their tables on their plates as they wished.
　Cain also urged everyone to share their favorite foods together.

'I'm really struggling with how good they all look: ......
'Really, isn't there a party at the King's Castle with so many meals lined up?
We've never had this style of eating in the Empire.

　Telestia and the three of them also seem to enjoy sharing their favorite dishes.
　The maids are waiting behind the food, and when you tell them what you want, they share it beautifully.

''It's delicious ...... and warm as freshly made,''

　The rest of the table also commented on how delicious the food was.
　The teachers are also tasting the wine that has been served to them and enjoying the meal in a pleasant way.
　The maids also finish eating and lower their empty plates while they go to get their food again.

　When Cain looks over, he sees that Laura is also doing her job, lowering the plates, which makes his cheeks relax.
　While they were enjoying their food and conversation, it was the desserts that the girls were most pleased with.
　There was a wide array of cakes and fruits. Each one was cut into small pieces.
　They must have used enough sugar stored in Drintru.

(That's Lula's input: ...... I wouldn't be able to serve this much.)

　Cain's gaze met with Lula, who was waiting in the corner, and he smiled as if he noticed it.
　Moreover, he sneaked a thumbs up and said, "What do you think? He seemed to be saying.
　Cain couldn't help but chuckle, but he nodded lightly as Telestia and the others seemed to be happy to see him.

　After the meal was over and the teacher finished explaining the next day's activities, each student went back to their rooms.
　After this, Alec explains that the baths are after this, and then the maids will separate the men and women and show them how to use them.
　Then, even in the bathhouse, they are surprised.
　This is a bathhouse that incorporates the flavor of Cain and Lula's previous lives.
　It wasn't half bad. It's the same as the one you're used to in the past. There is even an open-air bath.
　The first time I saw it, Alec told me to really ask ...... to save my weight.
　After soaking in the hot tub, you are free to do as you please, whether you want to relax in your reserved room or go to bed early.
　The teachers hadn't had enough to drink yet, and Alec was supposed to take care of it and go back to the other room to drink again.
　Alec was also an alumnus of the school, and the teacher who accompanied him this time had an acquaintance, and they were talking about the old days.
　And in Cain's bedroom, Telestia and the other three are also relaxing.
　Dalmatia prepares a cup of tea and leaves the room with a good 'please take your time to relax'.

''I didn't expect this to happen at the beginning of our training, I can't imagine what's to come.
It's true. Last year you said it was an inn. I didn't think you'd be staying in a castle. ......
No one would think they're even building a castle. ......
It was actually supposed to be an inn. I didn't know this was going to happen either. ......

　Alec had told me that he was planning to stay at the inn, but I hadn't expected Cain to have this kind of hospitality prepared for me either.
　He sighed and sipped his tea.

'I already want to have a wedding and move here as soon as I graduate ...... hey Master Cain?'
Yes, I'd be happy to move in here as soon as I graduate.

　Terestia and Silk say jovially, but Riltana's complexion is a little darker.

'I was the first to know ...... and yet I was the first to know ......'

　It was Riltana who said in a whisper, but Cain's ears reached her.

'Lil, what's going on?　You don't feel well?　My complexion is a little darker, but ......

　At Cain's words, Rilthana clutches the stone in her necklace and shakes her head.
　But I noticed the stone in the necklace I was clutching and Silk called out to me.

'Oh, come to think of it, Lil, you have a pretty necklace, don't you? It's always with you. You take such good care of it that you didn't take it off in the bath. Let me see it.
This is: ......

　When I loosened my clenched hands, I saw a blue stone that matched the color of my hair.

'Beautiful stone ...... you take good care of it because you do it all the time.
...... Yeah.
Maybe ...... got it from someone Lil likes?

　At Silk's casual words, Riltana's face turns red at once.
　When she hears of a love story, both Telestia and Silk get excited at once.

''Lil, there was someone like that, wasn't there?
Hey, hey, what's he like?　Tell me about it.

　Liltana is reluctant at first, but gradually tells us about the time she was given it.
　When she went to visit a town, she bumped into a boy in the marketplace and met him. And that's when they chose each other's necklaces.
　As the conversation progresses, Cain's face turns to look away from Telestia and Silk as they get excited.

(Something sounds ...... familiar, and that necklace ...... looks familiar for some reason. I wonder where ......)

　Suddenly, Cain grabs the stone of the necklace he is wearing.

(That ...... maybe what you were talking about earlier. ......)

　I look down at the stone on my necklace without a second thought. Then I remember my past.
　The pieces of the memory are being filled in one by one.

'You met such a wonderful person. So, so ...... that person is .......

　Despite their excitement, Riltana's complexion darkened at once.
　Perhaps sensing their pale complexion, the two of them toned down and told her they were sorry.

　Then Cain spoke to Riltana with a serious face.

'---- Lil, could it be that ...... Lil from that time we met in the marketplace in Ramesta? ......?

　At Cain's words, Riltana looked at Cain with a bright red face ---- and nodded silently.
