378 Episode 370: Tea time after dinner for Takeo and the others. The founding philosophy of both colleges and a letter from the Elvis family.

The two of them were about to move to the lobby to get a little better fit and then head to the inn when they felt like making tea next to the people who seemed to be busy preparing for their original guests.

"Ha... there's just something in the book.

That spicy soup will be famous.

Meyer is sharing his thoughts with Takeo as he slowly sips tea.

"Right.

Takeo also drinks tea while nicoting.

By the way, Mia snuck me into Takeo's soup and said, "I can't because it's hard!" and slept in Takeo's inner pocket.

"And he said when he was fed that he revived an old recipe... is it something so delicious that interrupts?

Meyer says distressingly, "Hmm..."

"There will be different reasons why recipes can be interrupted if they are burned or lost, or if ingredients that are difficult to obtain are used.

And we don't know if it's really coming back because we don't know how to cook back then.

Or I'm just saying that. Actually, I can think of a new one, but...

At least you have the ingredients for today's soup.

Takeo grins niggardly at Meyer.

"Lord Kitamizato, did you possibly... know this dish?

"Yes, I know.

That soup is pretty much the same as' Curry ', isn't it?

It was normal to have a little more thickness where I was, but I think the basics are the same.

"Can you make Lord Kitamizato?

Meyer asks with anticipation.

"I don't think we can make the exact same thing.

I have to mix a few to a dozen different spices to make this curry, but all I know is three or four of them.

And then we have to find ingredients by hand.

Well, when you get back to Elvis territory, it might be interesting to try to make it using ingredients that are in the city.

"Really?

I have more and more fun going to Elvis territory.

"With that said, you are accompanying me on this journey, but has your family gained any recognition for my transfer to my platoon?

"Yeah, my wife and my kids agree.

Well, I'm worried about my son following the move because he was going to be in a boarding house or a college of magicians next spring, but you're in favor of my move.

"That's good to hear.

Are you okay with Mr. Andersen or Mr. Tracy?

Well, I hope you discuss it with your family while I'm gone... "

"I don't know about Tracy, but Andersen will be fine.

Andersen's wife is a new soldier from King's Capital.

So you also know what my husband wants to do.

"There's some way to put it... what made you say new soldiers on purpose?

"We talked a little bit about it at the time.

Said someone left Shou after less than a year of newcomers coming in June.

Meyer says pleasantly.

"Ha, is that right?

Takeo himself had the fastest record, so he could only laugh bitterly, not other HR.

"And I was up both the boarding house and the College of Mages on your son's path earlier, haven't you decided on one?

"I'm thinking about getting them tested for fitness early in the year.

Depends on the outcome, right?

I'm wondering if I can put you in a dormitory if you don't have the magical aptitude.

"It's also hard for a child's path.

"Not at all.

Plus, the College of Magicians is paid a monthly allowance of five silver coins as an associate soldier, but the Royal College has to pay tuition fees of two gold coins and five silver coins a month.

"Hmm? The College of Mages gets six gold coins a year as a salary, and the Royal College pays 30 gold coins a year...?

"Yeah, it's made up differently in the first place.

The College of Magicians is an institution that nurtures outstanding soldiers.

So at the same time as enrollment, I will also conduct training as a soldier.

In contrast, the Royal College is a governor training institution for aristocrats.

So it's not like anyone can get in.

The first difficulty is whether parents can pay for their tuition or, secondly, individual academic achievement.

And I need a letter of recommendation.

"... recommendation?

"You will need at least one letter of recommendation from one nobleman and one knight.

"... what are the benefits of getting in that far?

"Upon graduation from the Royal College, Wang Capital's recruitment into the civil service will be enshrined.

Plus, we only get about 30 people a year.

You've decided that it's okay to be a civilian if your parents earn well and you're a kid in the house who gets recommendations from nobles and knights.

"I see.

Royal College is an elite training school, isn't it?

"Yes, that's what you think in Wang Du.

"Well, maybe 30 gold coins a year isn't expensive if you can target future civilian executives.

"Yes. The rest depends on your personal efforts since you graduated.

"Well, any profession will, but it's a battle when you get in...

Socialists are hard.

"Not at all.

You didn't think this was such a competitive society before you went in.

Meyer says in a sigh mix.

"Would you say that if you had won out in that competitive society?

Takeo also says with a bitter smile.

"I've won it out... and I'm sure it is from other sources...

You haven't been successful in my feelings.

"Humans get even more greed and more wishes when one wish comes true.

Mr. Meyer was in a much different mood when he was assigned to the King's Capital Guard, too, wasn't he?

"Right... I'm just glad you could be.

"The King of Memorials, the Metropolitan Guard! 'And... if you think so, you're overdone now.

I never thought I'd be able to keep the King's Capital Guard until I was this age.

Meyer giggles "Ha ha".

"Well... shall we go to the inn and get ready for tomorrow?

"Okay.

Takeo and the others took their seats and went to thank the receptionist.

------------------------

King Azpar and Williams and five members of the Third Prince's family and Alice are making tea in King Azpar's study.

"Count Elvis wrote to me.

'I have no objection if you can put on some kejime,' he says.

Ha... good.

Sigh as King Azpar has relieved his heart.

"My father-in-law, didn't Grandpa say, 'If Takeo and the others are convinced, we won't take care of it'?

Leila asks King Azpar back.

"That said it.

Alice... I can only compensate you for the money ahead of me on this one.

Now I want you to hit me with your hands... "

"Your Majesty, I and Master Takeo have accepted, so I believe the matter is closed.

"Right... okay.

Arrange for Count Elvis to send 60 gold coins.

Alice, I'm sorry.

"No."

Alice will thank you.

"Father, in a letter addressed to Leila, it seems that there is a movement in the Demon Kingdom.

"Hmm... you had a report coming from Count Godwin to the Military Department, too.

It seems to be a minor change, but... he cautioned.

What does Count Elvis say?

"Grandpa said, 'I think it's dangerous to see minor changes near the border with the demonic kingdom and now show an attitude of contention with the king's capital'.

"A minor change or...

Count Elvis doesn't report delicate moments.

I guess I haven't gotten the certainty yet that I made that word via Leila.

Besides, I know that neither the Royal Family nor the Elvis family can take care of this matter.

You've caused Count Elvis trouble... or I'll send you something... "

King Azpar worries about "um..."

"With that said, Laila, you gave the book to Sister Takeo, didn't you?

"Hmm?... Yeah, you gave it to me. Can you read it?"

"Yeah, you say.

Master Takeo said, 'If you use glasses, you can read them, but you don't have to give them to me? He said,' Right?

"" "Ah!

King Azpar and William, Leila surprise.

"Well, you should have used your glasses.

"I had no idea.

I thought the glasses were meant to read Mr. Takeo's letters.

"Damn right... William, read the book.

"Shake it over here?

"Oh... I can't even take the time to read a book these days.

This tea... it's okay because William and the others are here.

I need time.

King Azpar is so dismayed.

The Third Prince and Alice could only laugh bitterly at such King Azpur.
