CH 45

[Dianna’s today]

Today, Dianna was practicing embroidery with her mother. She is following Master Cain’s method and letting Dianna embroider as she likes instead of using the basic pattern for practice. She seemed to be enjoying the embroidery.

Dianna and her mother helped me with my tea making practice, and she gave me some strict advice. I have to be diligent. Dianna told me, “It was delicious!”. I had pricked my finger with a needle while embroidering, so I healed it with healing magic. Dianna rolled her eyes and complimented me saying, “You’re amazing, Il!”.

She had lunch with her mother in the garden. I ate in the servants’ quarters, so I don’t know what happened during lunch.

IlValino

——-

Cain crumpled up the paper in his hand and threw a dark look at Ilvalino.

“……………………”

“Don’t look at me like I’m a patronage fan whose favorite stage actress has just announced her retirement, Master Cain.”

“It’s not fair that only Ilvalino gets compliments from Dianna! I want to be praised by Dianna too!”Oh, you’re so amazing! Oh, you’re so cool!” I want to be told that! I really want to heal Dianna’s injuries too! It’s really painful that healing magic can’t be helped by effort! Lunch in the garden would be fun for sure! Dianna loves flowers! I’m sure she’d look so cute eating while looking at flowers! Why wasn’t I there? What the hell was I doing at such a wonderful time? I was having dinner with His Highness Al! That guy doesn’t eat tomatoes! I was having a hard time getting him to eat tomatoes! Aaahhhh! There’s not enough Dianna in my life!”

“Master Cain, please fix your face. It’s not polite to say “That guy”. We’re going to have music class today, so we’ll be moving to the music room.”

At Ilvalino’s urging, I trudged down the hallway.

Was today piano day? Or was it violin day? I feel like I’ve played both songs to the end of the line. I think they said they were going to bring new sheet music. Cain wasn’t really interested in music, although he was learning it as an education.

When Dianna started to have tutors, she no longer interrupted the class to dance along with Cain’s performance.

“Interruption…?”

Ilvalino stopped suddenly and looked back at Cain with a suspicious look on his face as he pondered. “Master Cain?” he called out to Cain, but he didn’t reply.

“I’ve got an idea!”

“Heee!”

Ilvalino, who had come up to give him a pat on the shoulder, was startled by Cain’s sudden loud shout and his voice sounded strange. He cleared his throat and regained my composure, then turned around with a troubled look on his face.

“What did you come up with?

I knew that it was nothing at all. Even though he knew that he would be hearing 80% nonsense about spending time with Dianna, he couldn’t help but ask the question as a handmaiden.

It was part of his job to be a companion to my master.

“We can study the arts together, Dianna and I! We can’t teach factoring and addition and subtraction together, but we can teach how to play a musical instrument together, even if we are four years apart. You can draw a picture, you can write a letter, you can do it together! Can’t we?”

“What? Huh? I don’t know… but we’ll have to ask the teacher…”

“Let’s go to the music room and talk to professor Krais!

Before he could finish, Cain started running down the hallway.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

I’m not sure if I should tell him that he shouldn’t run in the hallway or not, but Ilvalino decided that he wouldn’t listen to me anyway, so he followed Cain as fast as he could.

When Ilvalino entered the music room, Cain was already confronting Krais, the music professor. Krais, the third son of the Viscount family, was a viola player in the royal orchestra.

Whenever there is a royal soiree, tea ceremony, or garden party, he plays there.

He also plays in the salons and gardens of private homes on request, and the other day he told me that he had participated in a revue at a popular theater as a helper.

His specialty is the viola, but he can play all kinds of stringed instruments.

Cain said, “If Dianna and I take music lessons together, you can shorten the class time. That way, he can use the free time for his own practice. Of course, the contract of teaching music to two people remains the same, so the salary you are paid should remain the same! We can even play a trio piece together. If you want, you can even involve Ilvalino there to do a string quartet.”

“Please don’t involve me!” Ilvalino said.

“If you need permission to teach the servants, I’ll go and get it from my father, and then we can start the quartet, but first, please give Dianna and me will a lesson together! Professor Krais said that music is best when it’s fun.”

“Well…”

Cain approached Krais in a mocking manner. Krais slid back, forming a wall with her hands until her back finally touched the grand piano. He can’t go down anymore.

“Wouldn’t you like to see Dianna dance to my music?”

“That was definitely cute, but…”

“If you want, I can dance to Dianna’s music.”

“um…”

“I’m sure I’ll look lovely.”

“You say that yourself?”

“You can dance too, Ilvalino. You’ll look lovely.”

“No thanks.”

The conversation started in the middle between Cain and Ilvalino.

“It is true that instruments, unlike arithmetic, don’t do anything different once you learn how to play them, so It may not be impossible to do it. But the exercises would be too easy, you know? I feel like that’s a waste of time…”

“Well, I’ll start playing a different instrument. How about that?”

“If you’re going to teach different instruments, it’s probably more efficient to teach them separately.”

“As long as they’re not completely separate, right? Then what about viola?”

Cain’s words made Krais keep a straight face. stop practicing the violin and switching to the viola. From an outsider’s point of view, it might look like switching to a different size instrument. But for Krais, it meant a lot.

“I’m a little bigger now, and the viola doesn’t come in children’s sizes, but I think I’m ready to play,” Cain said

Krais was silent.

“I’ve always admired Professor Krais, and I’ve always thought the viola was cool. The astringent sound is really cool. I’d like to take this opportunity to start playing the viola… may I Professor?” Cain asked.

Krais closed his eyes and wrinkled his brow.

“If I can play the viola, I will be able to play it at the tea party at our house and at the student recitals after I join the school. The heir to the first duke’s family playing the viola in the recitals of the Magic Academy. Don’t you think it’s cool?”

“I understand. If you have the Duke’s permission, you can take a class with Dianna next time. But you need to coordinate your time with the other teachers, right?”

Finally, Mr. Krais broke down.

Cain knew that viola players were weak when they were praised for their viola.
