01x02 - Taking a Step Forward

[bunniefuu]

Thanks, Dad!

Is that fun!

So much fun!

That's so great!

I'm looking forward to it!

I took the tape measure with me everywhere,
until it was completely worn out.

"The world is built on numbers.
That also applies to people."

"The human body consists of
a big mountain of numbers."

That's what my father always said.

You like to joke, don't you?

I don't live in a room
next to this proletarian brat!

I beg your pardon!

#2 A step forward

M-I was told that she is a relative of yours.
is a relative of yours.

E-A twin room
with another person?!

Don't worry, sister.

I, the Miss Malicious,
will solve the problem elegantly.

Oh, I don't know,
how I'm going to get through this!

But not at all!
I'm sure there's something I can do.

The attic room is just right for you!

D-The attic?

Is it already being used for other purposes?

The horse stables would be just as suitable!

But no, I'll have them
prepared on the spot!

D-The power of Miss Malicious ...

is unbelievable.

Well, treasurer, Aaron O'Brian.

The account books
show inconsistencies.

During my inspection
I noticed 30 of them.

Secretary of the Serendia Academy Student Council
Elliot Howard

It is also possible that
money was misappropriated from the special budget.

Secretary of the Serendia Academy Student Council
Bridget Greyam

It seems so.
I'm currently still checking the books, ...

General Affairs of the Serendia Academy Student Council
Neil Clay Maywood

but with the household budget
there are about 50 incidents of embezzlement.

Vice-president of the Serendia Academy
Cyril Ashley

I have accepted you into the student council,

because of my grandfather's recommendation,
Duke of Clockford.

But after this incident, my grandfather will probably
grandfather will withdraw his favor from your father.

Don't panic.
The person will fix it somehow.

Yes, they ...

Wait a minute?
Why can't I remember?

Do you understand? Your folly is the
reason for the decline of the County of Steyl.

Be quiet! You are only royal in name
royal, you mutt of the duke!

Zay Darvan ... Mers!

For attacking His Highness
you deserve to die!

Cyril.

I was out of line.
I apologize for that.

Thank you for protecting me.

Aaron.

I'm grounding you until you receive notification
of your expulsion from school arrives.

You let the "Duke's mutt" take you over
by the Duke's mutt. Use the time to reflect.

How I would have loved
had a room with you!

So we could have talked secretly at night
over a tea party.

But I certainly don't want to
get in the way of your mission.

Hands off! Let go of me!

I didn't do anything!

It wasn't me!

Calm down!

This is Master Aaron from the house
of the Count of Steyl.

No! It wasn't me!

I saw him
at a ceremony.

Let me go!

The boy with the dark brown hair is Master
Elliot Howard from the county of Darzvy.

I don't know the silver-colored boy, ...

but he wears a student council badge.

That means he comes from a high family.

She is much more serious
about the mission than I do.

I ask for your attention!

This is your new classmate
Miss Monica Norton.

Introduce yourself.

I-I have to say something ...

Watch your posture!

This is the most prestigious
academy in the kingdom.

The students are expected to
elegant and perfect appearance.

High-ranking magician
Victor Thornley

That's enough. Go to your seat.

He.

Hey, you! I'm talking to you,
Miss Newcomer.

I am Lana Colette.

Tell me, why do you wear your hair
in these loose braids?

In the 2nd year of the Serendia Academy
Lana Colette

W-because that's the only way
I can tie my hair.

Doesn't she have a chambermaid?

It does indeed look shabby.

Where did you grow up?

I-In Lyennack.

Oh, the big city on the border!

What's in fashion there right now?

I don't know.

T-Sorry.

Here, take a look.

This lipstick is a brand new product
from the royal capital.

Oh ...

The daughter of this nouveau riche baron brags
again in front of a country bumpkin with her wealth.

How she strives to belong,
with her bought title of nobility.

That's enough.

Keep still.

Uh...

You should keep still.

Y-Yes!

That's it.

This is an easy hairstyle, so make sure
that you can do it yourself.

I didn't even manage to ...

to thank her.

The prince is the student representative.

So when I approach the
student council room,

I should be able to
catch a glimpse of him ...

Impossible.
There are far too many people here.

But if I don't make an effort
to protect him ...

B-Please forgive me!

I do my best!

This will probably be my lunch.

A place where nobody goes ...

What a wonderfully peaceful place.

I'd better find another spot.

Gotcha!

Is that a weapon?!

N-no, t-that's my lunch ...

Nobody would put their food
in his bag!

You're even following us to this
remote place! Who hired you?!

Oh no, he scares me.
I want to get out of here!

Acorns?

Elliot, please let go of the girl.

Why?

Maybe Aaron sent them!

I have heard that the second year
has a new addition.

Could it be that you are this newcomer?

Your name was ...
Miss Monica Norton, wasn't it?

You see. She is not an assassin, but
a squirrel that has lost its way.

Forgive us for disturbing you
interrupting your meal.

D-There...

Watch out!

Damn!

Everything all right?



Damn it again!

It's only because of your parents that I'm
in this predicament!



Never again will you be outside
such nonsense from you!



Please listen to me!

Are you feeling better again?

My name is Selma Karsh. I am the
health officer from your class.

In the 2nd year of the Serendia Academy
Selma Karsh

I was told
you had fainted.

Your hair is a bit disheveled.

What a delicate hand.

When you have recovered,
you can go back to your room.

So, how was it?

I-I can't do that ...

What?

Do you want to give up on the first day?

Instead of moping around, you could manipulate the
manipulate the memories of others.

The spirit manipulation spell
must not be used for such things.

This could cause confusion or amnesia.

What a spooky spell!

Then all you can do is pull yourself together
and do your best.

I-I know ...

What have you got?

Today I have experienced kindness from so many people
kindness from so many people.

How I would have loved to thank them with a
a proper "thank you" to them.

Okay, leave it to me!

How? Y-You're not going to ...?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Well, how is it now?

Come on, practise on me!

N-No, I can't do that.
Please turn back into a cat.

No, I want to hear it.
Go on, thank me!

"Master Nero, you are wonderful!
Thank you, Master Nero!"

I see a dubious figure there.

You are right.

Someone is sneaking around the inner courtyard
around the boys' dormitory.

An assassin,
who is after the prince?

Nero ...

I ...

know this person.

Is your research complete
when you are done with the calculations?

No, that's only a small part.

Who knows, maybe
my research is also in vain.

I may not be able to
in my lifetime.

Even though you put so much effort into it?

However ...

I have never worried
about my hairstyle.

What do you consider unnecessary, Nero?

A philosophical discourse? You'd be amazed,
what words I know, aren't you?

Where is my praise?

Yes, really impressive ...

Exactly that!

I don't think your praise is unnecessary.

It always makes me feel special.

I also love
to enjoy the unnecessary.

"Life is full of unnecessary things.

Then we should
enjoy it abundantly!"

This is also written in Dustin Günther's novel.

Life costs so much strength. And then
you're supposed to enjoy the unnecessary?

However ...

the more fun it is,
the more difficult the challenge, ...

Monica.

I will take up the challenge.

Uh...

What then?

What happened to your hair?

I-I have tried
to copy yesterday's hairstyle.

Uh, here, um ...

V-Many thanks ...

for yesterday!

I don't want it.
It's no longer fashionable.

W-Would you tell me ...

d-the F hairstyle ... v-from yesterday ...
please, noschmal scheigen?!

Ah, silly me!

I totally messed it up!

If you ask me like this ...

Here, sit down.

This comb was made by an artisan
from the Anmel region.

Small gemstones are incorporated ...

I'm boring you, aren't I?

After all, I am a nouveau riche.
I'm sure you find my gossip annoying.

Uh, so ...

I also have to listen to people tell me
that my talk is boring.

Because I talk about nothing else
but numbers ...

What kind of strange topic is this?

Is it really that strange?

W-How beautiful!

The position of the three braids
and their angle are important.

As well as the amount of hair in the individual braids.

Not numbers,
but the technique you have to learn.

Loosen the hairstyle and try it
try it out for yourself.

But she is so pretty!

You can only master them,
if you do it yourself.

To take flight,
after you caught sight of me ...

You are indeed
a timid squirrel.

I-I am a human being.

Please follow me without contradiction.

Forgive me for
suddenly summoned you here.

I am the head boy of Serendia Academy,
Felix Arc Ridill is my name.

Yesterday's boy is the second prince!


Headmaster of the Serendia Academy
Felix Arc Ridill

What a shameful first encounter, ...

dear colleague?

About yesterday ...

Yes?

Um, I-I would like to thank you very much
thank you very much.

I don't know
what I would do to deserve your thanks.

The acorns ... Besides, you brought me
to the sickroom too.

Oh, that. You don't have to thank me for that.

And one more thing ...

Why did you sneak
sneak out of the dormitory?

Excuse me? That's news to me!

I don't know what you're talking about.

I saw you last night ...

From my window.

Could have been an intruder.
What did he look like?

T-The person was wearing a hood,
so I couldn't see their face,

but she had your stature.

There are some
who have a similar stature to me.

It corresponded to the golden ratio!

I have confidence in myself,
to be able to reproduce the size precisely.

The ratio of your head width
to the length of your head is 1:1.618.

The figure is close to the golden ratio,
which people consider to be particularly beautiful.

Even with clothing, you can roughly
the position of the navel.

When I compared yesterday's person
and you, the ratio was

of upper and lower body
in the golden ratio!

And beyond that

the sum of the entire body was 1:1.618,
when I assigned the number 1 to the lower body.

As if it was created according to the golden ratio
was created!

Such a person is more than se...lten ...

When my measurements were taken, ...

the ratio was actually 1:1.618.

I've done it again!!!

So you're saying
the little squirrel is right?

New insights
but I have not gained any new insights.

Cyril would faint,
if he knew that.

She is undoubtedly a harmless,
little squirrel.

She didn't attack me when I was alone
and just told us everything.

She is never an assassin.

What explanation do you have
for the flower pot?

Uh...

W-Wasn't that
just an unfortunate coincidence?

It all began when we uncovered the embezzlement
of the treasurer.

Until he was officially expelled from school
I grounded him in the dormitory.

Caution!

Your Highness!

Aaron had hinted
to have an accomplice.

That's why we had set a trap for him.

In the inner courtyard.

They think I'm an assassin?!

Such a thing can indeed
only you, dear colleague.

You are his accomplice,
am I not right?

N-No, I'm not!

Well, will you then
find the real culprit for us?

I am waiting for an answer.

G-Good, I'll do it ...

Yes? Then I'd be grateful for your help.

You're supposed to be the bodyguard, aren't you?

Isn't it bad then?
if people think you're an assassin?
