Volume 2 Chapter 27 Letter
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Marie came back to the room right in the middle of things with Nico.
Awkward as that already was, what she told me afterward caught me completely off guard.
”You’re in the same boat as Romy now, ya know,” Marie said.
What was that supposed to mean?
Was there actually something about me that resembled Romy?
Romy was already infamous throughout our year as a hopeless troublemaker.
”In what way am I supposed to be the same as Romy?” I asked.
”What, are you dense or somethin’?” Marie replied.
So she wasn’t talking about our personalities.
Then that meant—
”Wait, Romy’s getting assigned to Henrietta-san’s laboratory¹ too?”
”That’s exactly what I mean.”
”Then what about you, Marie?”
There was one freshman Marie simply couldn’t get along with despite how social she usually was.
Ilse Klein.
A Dwarf from Paltofelden, the mining town near the old Kiridal border.
Before southern Bohemia was annexed, the region had been repeatedly raided by the Kiridal mercenary group known as the Weasels of Bohemia.
And the niece of that mercenary leader happened to be Marie.
Even if Marie was now a citizen of the Kingdom of Schuberitz, and even if Isabella had formally joined the Royal Army as a Second Lieutenant, someone from Paltofelden couldn’t just forget years of raids and bloodshed.
Marie said she’d tried talking to Ilse several times already, only to be ignored every time.
Honestly, I couldn’t imagine the two of them ending up in the same laboratory.
Student placements were supposedly arranged with personal relationships in mind specifically to avoid situations like that.
On top of that, Bizan Magic School only had two laboratories handling the Simple-type²: Henrietta-san’s Synchronization-type laboratory and the exploration lab.
But the Research Student overseeing the exploration department had quit at the end of the year because of family issues.
”So Marie’s being assigned to exploration?”
”Yeah. The specialization itself ain’t the problem, but the Research Student who was supposed to teach us disappeared, so the school’s scrambling to find a replacement. Principal Annerose is apparently filling in for now.”
”Is that confirmed, or just another rumor?”
The official laboratory assignments weren’t supposed to be announced until next week.
There was a good chance this was just gossip spreading around campus.
”I’m tellin’ you, Principal Annerose herself told me.”
That old Principal probably hated the thought of supervising Romy personally and shoved her straight onto Henrietta-san instead.
That explanation made far too much sense.
”Well, assuming we can survive dealing with Romy… are you going to be okay being around Ilse?”
”Who knows. Depends on her.”
Ilse was a Dwarf with Mana control at least at Level 3.
She also led the largest student faction in our year—the group made up of students from the Viscounty of Bizan.
Technically, I should’ve belonged to that group too, but I hadn’t spoken to any of them since arriving here.
Marie let out a tired sigh.
Meanwhile, I was stuck processing the fact that I’d be sharing a lab with Romy.
She attended lectures at the bare minimum, but she couldn’t even sit through a full ninety-minute class properly.
Halfway through every lecture, she’d stop taking notes entirely and switch to sleeping, doodling, or pestering nearby students until the instructor snapped at her.
At the Rookie Welcome Party, maybe because her uniform hadn’t arrived yet, she’d shown up wearing a revealing dress with her hair styled like some cheap cabaret hostess.
Naturally, she’d become a target for bullying, and during the New Year’s party she’d gotten passed around among the upperclassmen.
Granted, I wasn’t exactly innocent there either.
But beyond her behavior, the real problem was her Mana control.
The interrogator had already told me before that she couldn’t use Telepathy at all, and her Mana control didn’t even reach Level 2.
I honestly had no idea what Henrietta-san intended to do with her.
”Still, watching sex objectively is kinda gross, ya know,” Marie said. “Especially from behind.”
”Is that so?”
”The way you were swinging your hips made you look like some male dog. It was painful to watch.”
Don’t compare me to a dog.
(Despite enjoying it just fine whenever it’s your turn.)
After hearing all that, I headed toward the laboratory with a growing sense of dread.
As expected, Henrietta-san was in the middle of a complete meltdown.
”Larry-kun, did you hear about this?!”
The desk was buried beneath paperwork, documents spilling onto the floor worse than usual.
”You’re talking about Romy, right?”
”Exactly! Seriously, that old hag!”
There it was again.
Henrietta-san’s occasional dark side.
She obviously meant Principal Annerose, but I pretended not to notice while picking up the scattered papers.
”Listen carefully, Larry-kun. You can do whatever you want with Romy.”
”Huh?”
”My brain’s already occupied with the magic ship project. Long story short, I’m dumping her entirely on you. Train her, discipline her, whatever. Handle it.”
Henrietta-san had been obsessed with the ancient magic ship ever since attending Professor Pauman’s lecture near the end of last year, but that still wasn’t an excuse.
Teaching students was literally her job.
”Guiding new students is supposed to be your responsibility, Henrietta-san.”
”Oh, right! Starting next week I have to lecture about Golems, but the demonstration model is broken. Can you fix it?”
”Haaaaah?!”
She really never listened to anything anyone said.
”It’s fine. That little Golem over there should work once you repair it. Just restart it, check for errors, and replace the damaged magic threads.”
She pointed toward a dusty human-sized Golem hanging from the ceiling like an anatomy model.
I’d assumed it was junk taking up space.
Apparently not.
”Great, then I’ll leave it to you. Make sure it’s ready before next week’s lecture. Oh, and I just remembered I have a New Year’s banquet with the local Magic Association tonight, so I should get going.”
”Hold on a damn second!”
If I didn’t force her to take her responsibilities seriously now, she’d keep dumping everything onto me forever.
Just as I stepped in front of the door to block her escape, a knock interrupted us.
The door opened before either of us answered.
”Um… excuse me, is this Henrietta-san’s laboratory?”
Standing there was Romy.
Behind her stood an elderly woman in a maid outfit that suited her strangely well.
”It appears our guests have come for introductions, Henrietta-sama,” I said.
I deliberately addressed Henrietta-san politely while she sat there in ordinary clothes instead of her usual Gothic Lolita outfit.
”R-Right. Of course.”
”Please return to your desk. I’ll guide them in.”
I motioned her backward with my hand.
She glared at me like she’d swallowed something bitter, but eventually sat back down.
”You’re here for formal introductions?”
”That’s right. You’re always hanging around this lab, aren’t you?” Romy said. “But don’t start acting like you’re above me. Your entrance scores were lower than mine.”
Yeah, yeah.
I got in through Special Recommendation, you brat.
”And the person behind you?”
”My nanny. She’s been with me since I was a baby.”
The elderly woman stepped forward and gave a graceful bow.
I’d seen her a few times in the dining hall already.
Honestly, she might’ve been the oldest person at this entire academy.
”I see. Please come in.”
I led them through the cramped aisles between shelves packed with tools and pulled out two chairs in front of Henrietta-san’s desk.
”Please, have a seat.”
Henrietta-san gestured vaguely for them to sit, but they remained standing.
”Are you Henrietta-sensei? I am Romy von Odonkor, sixteen years old, from Baron Wilson’s territory.”
”Milady, the item.”
The nanny stepped forward and handed Romy a thick hemp-woven bag.
”Um… please accept this as a token of appreciation.”
Henrietta-san accepted it modestly enough, but the moment she peeked inside, her eyes lit up.
She pulled out a vividly dyed wool lap blanket.
”My goodness, this dye work is gorgeous. Is this authentic Nitrol textile?”
”Yes. My family originally served the former Kingdom of Bennets, and we still have relatives there.”
The Nitrol region sat between the Empire of Charle and the Kingdom of Schuberitz, a cluster of independent territories famous for textiles and dye production.
Their wealth was apparently enough to preserve their independence despite bordering two major powers.
”I see. Thank you very much.”
Henrietta-san unfolded the blanket immediately and draped it over herself with obvious satisfaction.
She was surprisingly weak to material gifts.
”Milady.”
The nanny produced another item from the bag.
A wine bottle.
”And this is for you.”
The bottle placed into my hands had the unmistakable shape of Burgundy wine.
”Wine?”
”Heh. You actually recognized it?” Romy sneered. “That’s a luxury item someone of your status might taste once in their life if they’re lucky. Make sure you appreciate it.”
”Thank you very much.”
Her aristocratic attitude irritated me, but free wine was free wine.
Henrietta-san looked at the bottle with visible longing, but I ignored her.
”Your official attendance begins next week, correct?” Henrietta-san asked.
”Yes.”
”That is correct,” the nanny added smoothly.
”Good. Since I’ll be occupied with research for the foreseeable future, Larry-kun will be handling the daily operations here. You’ll follow his instructions.”
Romy’s expression twisted instantly.
”Excuse me, but—”
”He arrived a month early and already understands how everything works here. It’ll be fine. Also, he handles the cleaning every day, and afterward the two of you will practice Kumite (Sparring) daily to expand your Mana capacity.”
”Yeah… fine.”
It was painfully obvious she’d come intending to establish dominance over me, so she looked deeply dissatisfied.
Also, Henrietta-san absolutely lied about me cleaning every day.
Once the two finally left, Henrietta-san turned toward me wearing a sly grin.
”Hey, Larry-kun… want to open that wine right now?”
”You have a banquet to attend.”
”But all they serve there is cheap lager and cider! I’m homesick for proper wine.”
Henrietta-san’s hometown happened to be near Baron Wilson’s territory, one of the warmer wine-producing regions in Schweilitz.
Apparently people there drank wine the same way villagers back home drank ale.
”Then let’s trade. Your blanket for the wine.”
”Absolutely not. This blanket is worth far more than one bottle.”
Nitrol textiles were apparently in an entirely different class from ordinary fabric.
”Romy’s family must be rich.”
”And yet you boys still ganged up on a sheltered rich girl like that. You really are awful.”
So Henrietta-san had heard about the New Year’s hazing too.
Even though she was the one who originally told me it was a traditional event.
”By the way, Romy couldn’t use Telepathy during the party, right? Is her Mana control really that bad?”
”It is. The aptitude exam evaluators were wondering who let her enroll.”
”So what happened?”
”The Research Student from the exploration department evaluated her during admissions. Since they were under quota, Principal Annerose apparently approved her without looking too carefully.”
”So Principal Annerose caused this disaster.”
”Keep your voice down. And instead of dealing with it herself, that old Principal dumped her onto me.”
There it was again.
Henrietta-san was clearly trying to dump the problem onto me next.
Apparently subcontracting responsibility downward existed in every world.
”Like I said earlier, daily Kumite might improve her Mana capacity. And even if it doesn’t, she’s still Level 1. Worst case, she can just charge Amber fragments.”
”So you’re planning to let her fail out naturally?”
Students here were only allowed to repeat a year once.
A second failure meant expulsion.
Kumite was essentially a magical exercise where two people circulated Mana through one another to improve flow and expand capacity.
My own Mana reserves had grown substantially because of it.
”Larry. Don’t lay a hand on Romy again. I don’t need to explain why.”
”Of course.”
Even without the warning, this year was already overcrowded enough.
At minimum, my sister-in-law, Marie, and Louise were all due to give birth.
Mentally, I couldn’t handle anything more.
Eventually Henrietta-san wore me down until I opened the wine anyway.
While we shared smoked cheese from her private stash, Pamela arrived to tell me I had a visitor.
When I headed to the administration building, I found Tony-san, Uncle Klaus’s coachman.
”I’ve been hearing some wild rumors about you.”
That was the first thing he said, wearing a knowing grin.
Coming from him, it didn’t sound malicious.
”I’ve been traveling to Obernbach frequently lately, and I was asked to deliver this personally.”
He handed me a letter sealed with the Fee family crest.
Uncle Klaus, who handled the Viscounty of Bizan’s finances, was already overwhelmed.
Linto Base had begun transforming into a functioning town due to the influx of refugees, and construction of a government office had already started.
Linto…
Not exactly fond memories.
The ruined city was probably just swallowing refugees nonstop now.
”Did something happen back home?”
”No idea. The master said he hadn’t heard anything urgent either. He joked it might just be a lonely wife’s letter.”
While teasing me, Tony watched as I broke the seal.
The handwriting belonged to my sister-in-law.
≪Dear Larry-sama,
The new year has begun, and I pray you remain healthy.
Disturbing rumors have reached us, though Uncle assures me you are not in danger.
On a sad note, our eastern neighbor, Otto Karfen-sama, passed away shortly after the new year.≫
Come to think of it, Otto-san had already been bedridden for months.
According to the letter, he had been unable to work since summer, and the household had nearly exhausted its savings surviving winter.
During the plague, the family had taken in two distant relatives from the ruined Timo Karfen household as maids.
Now the widow wished to know whether we could take in the two girls—twelve-year-old Rena and ten-year-old Emmy.
When my sister-in-law consulted Hans-niisan, he’d apparently begged her to accept them if possible.
Monica and Niko agreed as well.
To sweeten the arrangement, the widow offered farmland near the Rhodes River in exchange.
Most likely it was simply a legal workaround, since selling servants directly for silver technically violated the law.
The proposed price was ten gold coins.
≪I apologize for acting before consulting you, but to ensure they were fed properly, I have already taken Rena and Emmy into our home temporarily.
If it pleases you, I would greatly appreciate a swift reply.
Yours truly,
Teressa Kneff Fee Getys≫
If all three of them approved already, there wasn’t much point objecting.
Especially now that we’d expanded our landholdings and needed labor.
”What did it say?”
”Our neighbor died. They want us to take in two girls working as maids.”
”So what’ll you do?”
”The family says it’s fine, and we need workers anyway. I’ll write a response.”
”Take your time. It’s still early before I need to pick up the master.”
I bought stationery from the office and wrote the reply immediately.
After hesitating, I added a brief update regarding Nico and Marie, sealed the envelope with the academy wax stamp, and handed it to Tony.
I still couldn’t bring myself to mention Louise.
The next two weeks passed without major incidents.
Not that life became peaceful.
There simply weren’t any disasters large enough to require emergency meetings.
Day-to-day problems were another story.
As expected, Romy caused endless headaches.
When assigned to wipe shelves, she soaked valuable tools and documents with a dripping rag and even broke several models.
Henrietta-san exploded.
Cleaning duty was banned immediately, and Romy was reassigned exclusively to Mana charging.
Romy complained nonstop about doing Mana charging for free—even though it was normally paid work—but when I bluntly told her, “You literally can’t do anything else,” she reluctantly shut up.
We continued daily Kumite practice, but there was no sign of her Mana capacity improving.
Meanwhile, the small Golem Henrietta-san needed for lectures turned out to be almost completely unusable from years of neglect.
As a result, she ordered me to replace its entire nervous system before class six days later.
The workload forced me to cut deeper and deeper into my sleep schedule, though I did end up learning a tremendous amount about Golem structure in the process.
I seriously needed her to stop throwing impossible tasks onto me.
”Larry-kun, if you’re free, there’s something else I’d like you to handle.”
”My hands are never free.”
After discovering how useful I was, Henrietta-san began bringing me every broken Golem component she owned.
Then she dumped her actual research project—the Transport Golem—onto me too after claiming it had stopped functioning.
”I need it for the lecture after next.”
When I examined it, the design was a structural nightmare.
The muscle anchor points, the magic-thread pathways, the signal transmission structure—everything needed rebuilding.
At that point it barely qualified as functional locomotion at all.
If I rebuilt the entire thing from scratch, didn’t that basically make it my achievement?
This bizarre monstrosity she’d spent years building was somehow expected to be fixed in days.
That woman genuinely lacked common sense.
”Forget that for now. I need advice about the rudder design for the magic ship.”
”Then I can stop working on this Golem?”
”I didn’t say that. Just give me a little advice.”
Those words—”just a little”—were always dangerous.
Especially lately, since Marie and Nico had both started complaining about how little sleep I was getting.
”Not happening.”
”How cold. Then at least help massage my shoulders while we talk.”
In other words, she was inviting me to fondle her breasts during the consultation again.
”…Well, if you insist.”
Nico and Marie’s smaller chests were charming in their own way, but I certainly wasn’t opposed to heavier ones either.
Carefully hiding my enthusiasm, I stepped behind Henrietta-san.
It had already been two weeks since Romy joined the lab.
At some point, she’d somehow learned to charge Mana while asleep.
Even now, she was drooling face-down onto the desk while steadily filling Amber chunks with Mana.
Perfect timing.
”So what’s the problem with the rudder?”
Standing behind Henrietta-san, I slipped my hands beneath her arms and lifted her breasts gently from below.
They were firm yet soft enough to mold comfortably into my palms.
”Ah… don’t squeeze quite so hard…”
Since Romy arrived, I hadn’t had a chance to do this in a while.
Apparently my enthusiasm leaked through a little.
”Yes, this room right here.”
Marielle-san’s voice echoed down the hallway.
”Henrietta, I’m coming in.”
Without knocking, she casually opened the door as usual.
Since it was only Marielle-san, I didn’t think much of being caught like this and kept my hands where they were.
”What are you two doing in the middle of the day? Well, at least you haven’t gone all the way.”
”What brings you here, Marielle?” Henrietta-san asked.
”Not me. This girl’s the one with business here.”
The laboratory was so cluttered that I hadn’t even noticed someone standing behind Marielle-san until she stepped aside.
A blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty emerged into view.
The woman I’d been obsessed with ever since we were children.
My sister-in-law.
”…Teressa?”
”Well, if it isn’t Teressa. It’s been a long time,” Henrietta-san said.
”It certainly has, Henrietta-sensei.”
Come to think of it, Henrietta-san used to tutor her personally.
As the two chatted casually, I slowly withdrew my hands from Henrietta-san’s chest.
”How have you been?” Henrietta-san asked.
”Very well. I’ve even been blessed with children.”
”Oh my, you’re expecting again? Congratulations.”
”I’m nearly four months along now. This child is especially active already.”
At some point I’d apparently told Henrietta-san about my relationship with my sister-in-law, but she’d clearly forgotten.
More importantly—
Teressa never looked at me even once.
What exactly was I supposed to do now?

Three months pregnant with Larry’s child, she is Line’s student.
• Nico – A petite, silver-haired General School and Bizan Magic School student with an anxious yet blunt personality. The daughter of a paper merchant, Teressa’s cousin, and a Village Head Fee member, she works as a domestic assistant with zero Mana, relying on her confidante Marie. Deeply attached to Larry after he saved her from a noble, she shares an intense, bed-sharing romantic bond with him, checking his scent and monitoring his well-being. Now pregnant, her anxiety has risen since his recent trial. She has a warm body with very cold hands and feet, wakes early to manage chores, and is practical about money.

She exercises authoritative control over research assignments and seeks to trade Larry for Ilse Klein due to interpersonal conflicts in her laboratories. The mother of Sabrina and Rhein who intervenes during Rhein’s violent corridor assault to break up the confrontation.
• Annerose – Annerose von Bülow is the stern, authoritative Dwarf Principal of National Bizan Magic School. Possessing a strict, insufferable personality and a masculine, menacingly low voice, she demands immediate obedience from her students. While fiercely disciplined—frequently correcting Larry Fee Getys—she adds a mischievous flair to ceremonies. She is also the divorced mother of Sabrina Haas.
• Larry – Larry Fee Getys is a tall Bizan Magic School student with red-white skin, curly bronze hair/eyes, and Special Recommendation status. A deadpan, cautious reincarnated programmer and former slave-soldier with an older consciousness, he assists in Henrietta’s lab, analyzing magic mechanics and building innovative magitech motors. He hides explosive superhuman strength behind a submissive guise, handles school authorities calculatedly, and operates secret military weapons. Driven by a fierce thirst for life, he maintains complex marital relationships, living with multiple wives/partners including Nico, Monica, Teressa, and Louise.

It marks the noble bloodline and full names of Annerose von Bülow, Walter von Riedel, and Marc von Harritz, establishing their shared aristocratic identity and familial relationship within the Kingdom.
• Louise – A towering, seven-foot-tall Golem Battalion Vice Commander on the Western Front, she has a massive, muscular build, short red hair, and fierce, masculine features. Clad in black and gold military dress, her phantom-like prowess commands respect. Formerly a silent, hardworking soldier, she harbors a deep devotion to the protagonist, Larry, who others consider her “husband.”
• Pamela – An ageless, childlike Elf Mage with a baby face and a foul mouth, she wears white Gothic-Lolita attire with gloves. Beneath her innocent appearance lie pointed ears, vast mana, and ancient wisdom. She serves Henrietta-san, trains the protagonist daily in Dwarf-style Kumite and acoustic magic, and works at the academy, where she casually briefs Larry on capital updates and incoming visitors.
• Klaus – Uncle Klaus, thin and nervous, is the Thalbach family’s finance chief and vassal to Viscount Bizan, attending the wedding as a close relative. He wears a light‑grey cloak and a black hat trimmed with gold; deep dark circles shadow his high‑strung, exhausted face, worn by endless work and his wife’s jealousy. Larry and Hans despise him, and he is the narrator’s uncle living on the hill in the territorial capital. Larry’s uncle, a professional among noble colleagues, often closes his eyes when deep in thought or stressed.
• Tony – A friendly, quiet, and hardworking coachman for Uncle Klaus who recently married a kitchen maid. He has a likable face and is often seen resting after long journeys. He delivers a critical family letter to Larry and teases him about domestic rumors.
• Fee – Larry Fee Getys, of the court-recognized Fee lineage, leads the Getys household in governing Strock Village alongside Hans and Iffens. Embodying structured, traditional authority, his ancestral family—including Teressa, who carries the formal name—actively manages regional financial developments. To reinforce their noble stature, the family recently hired the maid Nico to serve Teressa.
• Tim – Jarek Dvorak, 14, the village’s eldest son and recent graduate, has short dark hair, a lean build and thoughtful eyes. He arrived in Obernbach with his father, watches the Golem’s arrival with trepidation, and, as a sugar‑beet cultivator from a family that refines sugar, boasts of pleasures in the district. A carefree, slightly reckless friend of Larry’s.
• Hans – Hans-niisan (17) is the rugged, 2m-tall, 100kg heir to the Kessler estate and elder brother of Larry. Acting as an elder brother figure to the narrator, he is expected to care for the narrator’s sisters-in-law in Strock Village. Rough yet charismatic, he shares Willow District intel and enforces the will of the Fee Village Head—a role he refused, holding his own wedding while Larry declined.
• Monica – Sun-tanned, slender, tomboyish fifteen-year-old widow and childhood friend of Larry, missing a front tooth, she lost her husband Denis at Vod Fortress and now raises her twin children while wet-nursing her infant niece Maria; observant, assertive in negotiations, and the household’s weary voice of reason, she manages domestic life with bitter authority, haunted by survival fears and Larry’s neglect—so much so she gave up her son—and offers the narrator early-filtered apple cider as a quiet, poignant farewell at the station.
• Niko – An elderly, dignified former slave and ex-head butcher, now the oldest male servant of the Getys household, he addresses Larry as “Young Master,” encourages his rite of passage, and follows him from the Fee family estate. He drives the carriage, shovels snow, prefers the stable loft near the animals, and possesses deep knowledge of the local landscape and sugar beet business, his loyalty unwavering as he aids the family’s transition with quiet wisdom and steadfast service.
• Teressa – Blonde, short-haired, and blue-eyed, this elegant village head and Getys House member is Larry’s wife and sister-in-law, now four months pregnant with his child. Formerly Iffens’ widow, she is a motherly yet sharp Gothic Lolita tutored by Henrietta and once served by Nico. Capable of manipulating Mana shared with Larry, she arrives at the academy hiding a vulnerable, mischievous core behind a cold exterior.
• Getys – Larry Fee Getys, a youth from Strock Village in the Viscounty of Bizan, carries a lineage of rugged warriors like Hardy and Denis. Raised by aunts Alisa and Monica, his academy-recognized noble family house name is invoked by court officials to declare his innocence. Reflecting his status, this lineage title is also appended to the full formal signature of Teressa, who married into the house.
• Kneff – Teressa Kneff Fee Getys carries a formal noble lineage name representing her familial bonds. As a member of the Kneff family, her background connects her to elite noble circles, specifically the high-society network where Henrietta once provided tutoring services.
• Marielle – An academy teacher and Magic Tools researcher, she instructs foundational principles through real-world demonstrations. Often in everyday clothes, she is a blunt, dominant friend to Henrietta—whose fetishes she knows—and can siphon mana via contact. As a close acquaintance who enters Henrietta’s room unannounced, she escorts Teressa for a surprise arrival, balancing academic and personal bonds.
