As planned, Firana-oneesama guided me to the dining room for dinner.

It’s not something I would expect to see inside a dorm.

It’s basically like a restaurant instead of what you would expect from a normal dorm.

After we finished dinner, Firana-oneesama also gave a quick tour around the dorm on where everything is.

It was quite exhausting, not the walk but interacting with other students.

Well, it’s not that big of a deal thanks to Anna’s training.

Even without paying too much attention, my body would naturally keep it’s posture and my manner of speech naturally fixed itself.

I only need to keep in mind about being a lady and the training that Anna ingrained to my body would do the rest.

Still, talking to that much students and moreover trying to make sure I remember all their names were quite taxing.

After the tour was finished, we returned back to our room.

Like before, we’re sitting on the sofa, though i was hugging a huge dolphin doll instead.

Firana-oneesama briefed me through the classes that I’ll be attending.

It seems like each day the classes would be dedicated to only 1 subject.

Firana-oneesama was given a note on the classes that I’ll be attending on my class.

On Monday, which is tommorow, it’ll be mannerism.

Though I don’t want to sound overconfident, I reckon I would not struggle too much with this class thanks to Anna.

Manners and etiquettes had been imprinted to my body after all.

It’s quite scary that it’s been ingrained so deeply that I could be woken up from a deep sleep by someone telling me to wake up.

Tuesday would be history, which I’m 100% worried about since I basically have 0 knowledge regarding this.

Thankfully Firana-oneesama said that she’ll teach me in her spare time tommorow after class.

I don’t want to make a fool out of myself too much so I appreciate the help.

Wednesday would be swordsmanship class.

Well, it’s called that but it’s not limited to only swords.

It’s more accurate to call it combat class according to Firana-oneesama, though the usage of magic to aid the training is not allowed.

Thursday would be general knowledge class.

From geography to politics to each area’s specialties, it’s an assortment of general knowledge of this world.

This one I’m also 100% worried about, there’s no way I would know any of these things.

Firana-oneesama would also teach me on this though, so I’m really grateful for that.

As for Friday, it’s magic class.

There’s something I’m worried about though.

“Firana-oneesama, what would the magic class teach?”

“It ranges quite widely from magics used on daily activities to combat magics. All the classes are practical class.”

“Ummm, would it be a problem….if I have a contract with a spirit?”

I can only use plant magics after all, if they’re teaching a wide arrays of magic then I wouldn’t be able to follow the lesson at all.

“Ara? You have a contract with a spirit despite being a crosser?”

“Y-Yes, I made a contract with one a sometime ago.”

“You would have to inform the teacher regarding that then. What spirit are you in contract with?”

“A plant spirit.”

That reminds me, I should call Rosa when I have some free time.

I wonder if Firana-oneesama would be able to see Rosa if I called her here.

“Plant spirit, is it? Then I suppose it shouldn’t make any difference to the class.”

“Ehhh, is that so…..?”

Wouldn’t it be a problem if I can only use plant spirits?

“I am quite curious on what magics can be used after making a contract with a plant spirit. Plant magics in general does not do much apart from making trees and plants healthier. I also occasionally saw them used on fruits and vegetables to make them more nutritious too but apart from those two, I can’t recall any other plant magics.”

“That is mostly what I can do too.”

“Is there not anything else?”

I guess I can show her, it’s not like I’m keeping it a secret anyway.

“Can Firana-oneesama pass me my bag over there?”

Firana-oneesama grabbed the bag I brought and handed it to me.

I took out a seed from the bag.

“A seed?”

“Yes, I can do something like this.”

I casted my magic and the seed slowly grown into a plant bud.

“Growth quickening?”

“Yes, if I were to increase the intensity of the magic, I can make plants grow in an instant.”

“That is quite an interesting magic.”

“It is mostly useful for self-defense, I can make a wall of plants to block attacks.”

I trained that for a bit in my spare time, throwing a bunch of seeds in front of me then using my magic to insta-grow them all, making a wall in an instant.

“Would you not be able to use it to attack too with the right seeds?”

“???”

“I forgot that Misa is a crosser, I apologize.”

I’m not quite sure what she meant.....

“On this world, there are plants of various kinds. A plant that can spark fire, a plant that stores water inside it, a plant that releases poisonous gas, if Misa were to get the seeds of these kinds of harmful plants, then you would have a way to attack too.”

I see, I’ve only been experimenting with plants that’re on earth.

In this world there are various other fantastical plants that don’t exist on earth.

“Thank you for informing me Firana-oneesama.”

“No need to thank me. I can help you search for some of those seeds on our next day off.”

“I cannot burden Firana-oneesama like that.”

“No need to mind, it is partially to sate my curiosity after all. I have never seen that growth quickening magic so I’m curious on how it would work on some types of plants. Besides, those kinds of seeds are hard to come by normally if you do not have some connections.”

“If Firana-oneesama insists.....”

I’m quite thankful if she’s really willing to help me, I can’t very much go around and search for fantasy seeds all by myself after all.

With that, we made an appointment to go out to town together next week.

“Ahhh, is it fine to call my spirit here?”

“There should not be any problem with that as long as it does not cause a ruckus.”

Rosa wouldn’t do that, though I can imagine Shirenia-sama’s spirit doing that.

I called Rosa through telepathy.

Not long after, she appeared in this room.

“Misa, it’s good to see you again.”

Her voice is calm and soothing as usual.

“It’s been a while, Rosa.”

“Ara? Did you just call your spirit here Misa?”

I guess she can’t see Rosa.

“Yes. Rosa, can you show yourself to Firana-oneesama?”

“To that human? If you insist.”

Firana-oneesama finally stopped looking around and looked at Rosa’s direction, though her face turned serious in an instant.

“Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Firana Selesia. Feel free to call me Firana.”

“Firana is it? I’m known as Rosa. As you’ve known, I’m a spirit contracted to Misa. In any case, I didn’t expect you to come back to this side so early Misa.”

“There were various circumstances leading up to this. I want to tell you that I’ll be staying here for the next 3 months.”

“Is that so? That’s quite a joyous news then.”

Rosa looked happy knowing I would be on this side for a long period of time.

Rosa then turned towards Firana-oneesama.

“Though I’m not quite sure of the circumstances, I’ll leave her in your care when I’m not by her side, Firana. Also, if she were to get into a conflict with other humans, I wouldn’t know how to help since I’m not proficient in meddling into human conflicts.”

“Leave her to me. Rosa-sama too, feel free to visit here whenever you want.”

“I’ll take you up on that offer then. For today though, I have other matters to attend to. Call me if you need me, Misa.”

“Yes.”

Before she left, she moved closer and whispered something to me.

“Do be careful with this girl called Firana. Though I can’t sense any bad intention in her, I’m not sure why but I’m sensing a lot of magic reactions inside this room.”

With that, she dissapeared from our room.

I wonder what she mean by that?

Though her last sentence lingered in my mind, She did say that she didn’t sense any bad intention from Firana-oneesama so I shouldn’t be in any danger.

No use thinking about it now I guess.

“So Rosa-sama is your contracted spirit. She seems like a calm and gentle spirit.”

“Yes, that is also the way I would describe her.”

“This might be more of a problem than I initially thought…..”

“Y-Yess…..?”

I wasn’t sure what Firana-oneesama meant by that.

“I didn’t think you would be in contract with a high rank spirit. It will definitely make a commotion.”

“High rank spirit?”

“Indeed. Normal spirits would usually be about palm-sized from what I heard, not that I ever see one.”

Palm-sized huh?

I thought spirits are normally like Rosa, since Shirenia-sama’s spirit was the only other spirit I ever met.

“So people normally make a contract with those small spirits instead?”

“That way of thinking is entirely wrong.”

Firana-oneesama immediately declined my statement.

“People normally do not make a contract with a spirit in the first place.”

“Because they do not want to get limited on what magic they can use?”

“No. That kind of thing only happens when you make a contract with a high rank spirit. With normal spirits, you’ll still have no issue using magic not attuned to their element. What I meant was even if people want to, making a contract with a spirit is not a common thing that could happen. Encountering one who would show themselves are rare enough, and it is even rarer for them to even want to make a contract with humans.”

Ehhhh?

“Even being able to make a contract with a normal spirit is already quite amazing, having a contract with a high rank spirits like the one you and the crown princess have are even more unthinkable. The crown princess is free to do whatever she wants just because she is contracted to a high rank spirit. Normally she would be put on a political marriage with another kingdom’s prince around her age even if it is againts her will but she herself can and did decline the proposition.”

No wait, if she put it like that, wouldn’t me having a contract with Rosa be something outrageous?

If it’s already rare for the people of this world to make a contract with a spirit, then me being a crosser making a contract with a high rank spirit.....

“It is best for you to not expose her to anyone else, or rather try to not call her unless you’re in a private place.”

“Ehhh?”

“Albeit rare, there are people who have a special blessing that allows them to see spirits even without the spirit’s permission. You will most likely get targeted if someone with such blessing sees you.”

A criminal group hunting spirits, I feel like I’m being introduced to a world I shouldn’t be meddling with....

“.....Then was it a mistake for me to introduce Rosa to you, Firana-oneesama?”

“Indeed. I did not expect you would have a contract with a high rank spirit. If it is just a normal spirit then it will make a bit of a commotion but a high rank spirit is a different matter altogether. Have you introduced her to anyone else?”

“Ummm, my friends back in my world. Also, Shirenia-sama too. Ahhh, Leon….-sama also knows about it….? Or maybe not, he knows I have a spirit but Rosa didn’t show herself to him.”

Frillia, Cure, Kanae, Gai, Ru, El, and Shirenia-sama should be the only ones who’ve seen Rosa.

“I see. Try your best to not expose Rosa-sama’s identity to anyone else unless it is absolutely neccesary, especially the people at the mage association.”

“Why is that?”

“It should be easy to figure out. Someone with a spirit contract will be greatly welcomed into the mage association.”

That doesn’t sound too bad…..?

“If they were to know that you have a contract with a high rank spirit, they will do everything in their power to get you to stay under their supervision. They will not do anything that will harm you, but they will pull all the strings they can to make sure you cannot leave.”

.....I changed my mind, that’s really scary.

“With that in mind, do be careful around them. I will come up with something to tell to the teachers so just go along with whatever I made up.”

“Y-Yes…..”

Uuuu…..I only just got here and I’m already causing trouble for Firana-oneesama…..

Haaahhh, I couldn’t help but feel anxious all of a sudden.

Firana-oneesama put her hand on my head and gave me a reassuring smile.

Haahhh, I’ve really been blessed with really good luck to meet all these nice people, haven’t I?

Still, at this rate I’ll only be troubling her and giving her nothing in return…..

I-I have to do my best from now on to not trouble Firana-oneesama any further than I already am!

After our conversation, Firana-oneesama said we should get an early rest for tomorrow.

Still, I’ve noticed when we entered, but there’s only one bed, isn’t there?

I mean, it’s indeed big enough for 2 people but still.....

The outcome is as expected, I became a hugging pillow for Firana-oneesama.

“Formalities are not needed when you’re on bed.”

She proclaimed as such.

I couldn’t complain much since there’s only one bed.

Well, I could honestly sleep on the sofa or even on the floor with all these dolls lying around, but Firana-oneesama will definitely not permit it.

Like that, surrounded by the dolls while being hugged by Firana-oneesama, I went to sleep still full of worries about the 3 months I’ll be spending here..
