Attention! Everyone at the Academy! (1)

Three days have passed since I took the academy entrance exam.

“Oh! Rudis, look at this! It’s a notice of acceptance!”

“Oh, did you get it for me on purpose?”

“Of course! You should be the first one to congratulate our Rudis!”

“Haha. Thank you.”

On the day I took my exams, you even invited Harve and Loretta to a surprise party to celebrate my admission to the academy.

As if that wasn’t enough, I just felt grateful to my older sister who ran to me with the acceptance letter that had arrived at the dorm and hugged me with her motherly love.

“Woohoohoo! Didn’t my sister tell you? She’ll give you a present if you pass!”

“I already received so much and I am grateful, so I replied that it was really okay, but really… “

“Hohoho! My proud Rudis is walking the flower path again, so I can’t just sit still!”

-Squishy.

The word ‘my’ sounded a little strong, but anyway, my sister started to be a little more aggressive than usual in her skinship, grabbed my arm, linked arms with me, and started to lead me out of the dorm.

Oh. The softness that touches my arm, is this it?

“Sister, where are you going?”

“Hoohoohoo, secret! You’ll find out when you go!”

My face feels a little hot as I look at my sister winking at me and putting her index finger to her lips.

Seriously, I wish this guy would just realize a little bit that his age and appearance don’t match at all.

You’re the only one who breaks through self-hypnosis and makes me feel so ashamed.

That’s when, led by my older sister, we started to feel like we were on a date, eating cotton candy on the way or shopping at a convenience store.

I finally figured out where my sister was going.

“Here is… “

“School uniform specialty store! We have to make uniforms for our Rudis to wear~”

Hehe. When I see Yuria looking at me with a big smile, I can’t stop feeling so grateful.

I really don’t know why they treat and look after a guy like me so well.

Eventually, as we walked inside, arm in arm like lovers, we saw a spacious store filled with the smell of new clothes, filled with all sorts of uniforms and suits on display.

You said I should have my clothes made, but custom-made ones are expensive, so I guess I’ll just have to look for ready-made ones in a similar size.

Clearly, I was expecting my sister to pay and stop me from doing so, so I tried to naturally move my legs towards the area where the male uniforms were displayed, but my sister grabbed me with a stronger force than I did and stopped me.

“Where~?”

“Looking at school uniforms?”

“Haha. Our Rudis, you thought you had to sell it cheaply somehow because your older sister was going to buy it for you?”

“Sister, are you by any chance a person with superpowers?”

“No~ It’s a fox~”

My sister’s face was filled with laughter as she playfully returned my call and headed straight for the counter instead of in the direction I was going.

“Hello. I reserved a school uniform three days ago.”

“Oh, yes. Are you Yuria and Rudis?”

“… Three days ago? Sister, no way… “

“Our Rudis definitely believed that we would pass, so my older sister made a reservation for us~”

What on earth would I do if I failed?

If I had made a mistake or not accepted because I didn’t like the Imperial Academy, I could have just wasted money.

My older sister firmly believed that this would not happen and said that she reserved my uniform in advance.

In the end, I couldn’t even look at the school uniforms I was planning to buy ready-made, so I left my sister at the counter and had the employee take me to get the measurements.

“Um… Yes. I’ve measured everything. Then, I’ll try on what I’ve made and adjust it for you.”

“Huh? Did you make it?”

“Oh, didn’t you know? Three days ago, a guest from outside told me his measurements and left it for me to make.”

“You adjusted it very precisely, and there is almost no difference between the current measurements.” I just smiled awkwardly as I looked at the employee who seemed to be wondering if she had actually measured my measurements.

How on earth?

I don’t even know my measurements, so how does my sister know my clothing size?

Since I usually bought clothes by trying them on at the mart or clothing store and buying them if they fit, and not buying them if they didn’t, I had no way of knowing my measurements. However, when Yuria told me that she knew my exact measurements and told me, I changed my mind and received the pre-made uniform and started putting it on properly. It was only after I put it on that I noticed something a little strange.

‘Is it really my size?’

The arms and shoulders are comfortable, the chest size is just right, and the waist of the pants is perfect enough that I don’t even need to wear a belt for a little while.

The only thing that worries me is that I feel like if my lower belly sticks out even a little bit, my pants might not fit.

No, how did you get it to fit so perfectly?

“How is it? If you tell me what is inconvenient, I will fix it right away.”

“Oh, it’s just right, but the waist is too tight. Could you make it a little wider?”

“Yes. Waist. I’ll increase your size by one from the measurements I gave you earlier.”

“Yes, please.”

The staff member who received the uniform immediately moved the small scissors to the workbench, tapped something, and repeatedly took it off. The clothes were adjusted in an instant, and I could feel so keenly that they were truly made just for me.

Oh, but.

“Over there… “

“Yes. What else is wrong?”

“No, that’s not it. It’s the color of the uniform… “

It fit my measurements so well that I didn’t even notice it when I looked in the mirror. Then I noticed it and asked the staff why the color was like that. She tilted her head and said that it was okay because it suited me well.

“No, that’s not the problem. The Imperial Academy uniforms I saw were white, right? “

“Ah. You don’t know? The Imperial Academy uniforms are allowed in two colors: white and black. But most people wear white. Well, you know, a magician wearing black clothes… “

“Aha. I understand.”

Anyway, I definitely understand why the uniform color is like this, and if it doesn’t go against the rules, I don’t mind because I like it.

But then, there should have been at least one set of ready-made clothes… Ah, I see there is one now that I come out.

I guess I didn’t see you earlier because you were dragged in so hastily by my older sister. But.

“Hey, do you know where the fox Suin who was waiting here went?”

“Yes. You will be changing now. The size adjustment is finished.”

“… ?”

Didn’t you come here to get my clothes tailored? You’re suddenly saying that you get your clothes tailored here too?

Looking around at the clothes around her, they are all imperial school uniforms or suits, but it seems that Yuria-ssi got her suit tailored here.

Hmm, that’s too bad. I like the rough look that my sister usually wears better… No, that’s not right.

My sister was in the Knights Templar, so she might have been more comfortable in a suit.

I was waiting for my sister in her uniform, wondering absentmindedly whether I would ever see her again when she was in the Knights Templar.

-Again.

“Ah, sister… Me?”

I was about to strike a pose where I spread my arms wide to show off the uniform she had made for me and ask if it suited me, but I flinched and stopped.

Uh, what the heck…?

“That… doesn’t it really suit you? At this age, wearing a uniform that kids in their twenties wear? That, does it look too much like cosplay?”

“… … “

My heart started pounding like crazy at the sight of Yuriah looking up at me, her lips pursed in embarrassment, holding onto the hem of her skirt, instead of her usual lively appearance.

You say it doesn’t suit me? It suits me so well I could suffocate to death.

Ellis, the heroine of the novel, was praised several times when she first wore the uniform, saying that it suited her really well. But when Yuria wore the imperial uniform, I couldn’t praise her in words.

I tried to rack my brain to figure out how to best compliment him using the knowledge I had of words I didn’t have, but in the end, only one thing came out of my mouth.

“… Who, sis. Who are you trying to charm?”

“Huh?”

My sister, who perked up her fox ears slightly at my words, blushed and tilted her head, and I immediately continued to speak in order to catch up on the words that had just spilled out.

“No. That’s not it, that, it suits you so well. Right, staff! Do you think you know how old my sister is?!”

“… Yes? Ah! You took the transfer exam around this time. You were twenty-five… No, twenty-four? “

“Eh, ehehe… Is that what it looks like?”

“Yes! You really suit each other! The younger sibling must have paused for a moment because you were so pretty. Right, sir?”

“Yes, really! It really suits you, sister!”

Let’s read some books later. Not magic books or anything like that, but something like a romance book.

As I suppressed the feeling of wanting to curse my poor vocabulary and continued to compliment me, my older sister would erase her anxious expression and return to her usual bright face, and start fluttering the hem of her skirt and clothes as she asked, “Really? Are you okay? Do I still look like I’m on active duty??”

Haha, I was going to ask you if it suits you. But somehow I ended up complimenting your uniform.

But, transfer at this time? Wait a minute.

“Sister, but.”

“Yeah!”

“The staff member just said that this is the time for transfers, but are you also going to the academy?”

“Yeah! Actually, this is a surprise too! My sister is going to the academy with Rudis!”

It was such a surprise that I took a turn and calmed my mind. I looked at my sister, then the employee, then at my sister again, and moved my lips.

“… What grade are you in?”

“2nd grade! I’m going to be in the same grade as Rudis!”

“… Uh, when did you take the test… “

“Two days ago, Rudis took it and the next day, my sister applied to the swordsmanship department.”

What, are there really that many places left at the Imperial Academy? Can anyone just enroll?

And my older sister is in her mid-thirties, now approaching her late thirties. Is there no age limit for the Academy? Is that correct?

As if she had noticed my doubts, my sister motioned for me to lend her ear so that the staff wouldn’t hear, and I swallowed hard as I listened to her voice.

“You can attend the academy even if you’re over 50. So, my older sister is also enrolling to ‘volunteer’ and help with our Rudis Academy life.”

“… … “

My heart pounded and raced without me knowing it because of the meaningful choice of words, but my older sister didn’t even realize how I felt and just smiled brightly.

Oh my. The more I think about it, the more I can’t come up with an answer, and my head feels like it’s going to explode.

“It must be fun. Going to the academy with your sister.”

“Yeah! It’ll be fun going to school ‘with me’!”

“So, sister.”

“Huh?”

“How do I look?”

I didn’t want to devote any more time to my sister’s surprise, so I changed the subject and showed her my appearance. My sister smiled with her eyes slightly arched and her cherry-like lips moved.

“You look so good together! I’m so happy because you and my sister have a couple look!”

“Haha, thank you.”

Isn’t this really plotting? If it is, it’s really difficult.

I’m a country that is sincere to my classmate’s mother, so I’m scared because I’ve imagined it for real.
