We recorded a 4th place in the daily rankings! Thank you for your support. I want to post content that is slow but voluminous.
"Hello, Inori-sama. I will be in charge of the theory and magic lessons, I am the Second Princess of the Rising Sun Kingdom. Please take care of me from now on."
The person in front of me seems to be the Second Princess.
Second, that is.
Not the first princess, that arrogant one.
By the way, the three heroes are receiving lessons from the First Princess in a different room.
The reason for the separation is simple.
That arrogant princess, "It is absolutely out of the question to teach someone who is not a hero!" and went on strike from my class.
"Please take care of me... So, Second Princess, does that mean you are the First Princess's younger sister?"
The Second Princess in front of me looks to be in her late teens, and doesn't seem younger than that arrogant princess.
Could it be that the arrogant princess is actually older than she looks? Is she a legal loli?
Or is this Second Princess just particularly well-developed?
"No, there are various circumstances. I am older, but the First Princess has the first right to the throne."
Ah, it seems there are some complicated circumstances.
The Second Princess has light brown hair and blue eyes, and is beautiful, but lacks any distinctive features. She is about 160 cm tall.
Her hair is shoulder-length.
Her chest is slightly smaller than average? It doesn't seem to appeal to either the flat-chested or the well-endowed.
She always has a smile on her face, but there is no emotion in it.
"Then, I would like to start the lesson. First, about the Rising Sun Kingdom..."

Rising Sun Kingdom
In the past, a mage from a party that defeated the old demon lord founded this country. It has a history of about 300 years, which is relatively new.
Because the founder was a woman, women are often given more importance.
The right to inherit the throne is always with the women, and the king, who is the husband of the queen, governs as a regent. The king is usually a prince or the heir of a duke.
At this time, the queen can deprive the king of his royal power by divorcing him.
The country's name was given by the founder. The national flag symbolizes the sun rising from the ground.
The currency is Del (a common currency of the national alliance), and 50 Del is enough for a simple meal.
The kingdom is known for its特产如Keichō and Trent monster materials.
It is also famous for its magical devices as handicrafts.
And...

Drowsily...
"Inori-sama, please wake up."
Huh! I fell asleep again!
"Did you hear it?"
"I heard it to some extent."
I see, so the captain is a woman, which is why she became the captain of the knights.
It makes sense that there is a Valkyrie unit.
"Do you have any questions?"
"Ah, then, what is a magical device?"
"A magical device is a tool that operates by the user's magic power."
In this world, magic has developed instead of science.
How cliché...
"Any other questions?"
"Is the female supremacy applied even in remote villages?"
"No, that is not the case. Female supremacy is only for the upper nobility. In the military and villages, men who can do physical labor are in a more advantageous position."
It's a bit complicated in that area.
In modern society, the environment for women to work is gradually improving, but in a civilization with a lower level, there would be fewer job opportunities for women.
There wouldn't be a babysitting system either.
"Any other questions?"
"Then, what is your name?"
"There isn't one."
Huh?
"If I must say, 'Second Princess' is my name. When a princess of the royal family inherits the right to the throne, her previous name is taken away."
Is that how it works?
Wait, so the conversation between the First Princess and the Second Princess would be chaotic?
It would be difficult for them to call each other 'sister'.
"Hello, First Princess. It's a nice day, isn't it?" "Yes, Second Princess."
Something like that?
"Then, if there are no questions, let's start the magic lesson. First, there is magic power circulating in the body..."
"Magic circles and incantations... these are used as intermediaries..."
"...six attributes..."
"..."
"..."
"Please wake up, Inori-sama."
Huh!
"Did you hear it?"
"Only the first sentence."
"You didn't hear it, did you?"
The Second Princess sighed and started the same explanation again.
In front of an unmotivated student, she showed no anger. She maintained her usual smile.
She has the demeanor of a true princess, unlike the arrogant princess.
However, there is something unnatural about it.
It feels like the eerie feeling of staring at an old Japanese doll. Something like that.
I'll just call her 'Teacher' since the Second Princess is troublesome.
The teacher has a pasted-on smile, responds in a predetermined way, and shows no emotional fluctuations.
She seems to have been thoroughly trained to be a 'princess'.
Her beauty, combined with her lack of distinctive features, makes her look like a doll.
By the way, I heard the maids talking about a 'doll princess'. Thanks to my enhanced hearing from the 'Detection' skill, I overheard it.
It must have been about the teacher. It's a fitting description.
She is the complete opposite of the overly active, arrogant princess.
Well, let's put the teacher aside for now.
I didn't borrow this magic book just to fill in the gaps of the lessons I slept through.
As a magic book, it should have magic circles written on its pages.
I'll use this to experiment with the 'Array Magic Eye'.
I take off the eye patch that was hiding my left eye. By the way, I asked a maid to bring it to me.
What is a beginner-level magic that can be used in a room without danger?
I don't know if the adapted attribute will be reflected in the magic eye, but ideally, I would like to try all of them...
Beginner-level fire attribute magic 'Spark'. Fire is scary. I'll skip it.
Beginner-level water attribute magic 'Water Drop'. There's no bucket, and I don't want to wet the carpet.
Beginner-level earth attribute magic 'Sand Manipulation'. There's no sand.
Beginner-level dark attribute magic 'Curse'. There's no one to cast it on, and I'm afraid of the aftermath.
So, it's either beginner-level wind attribute magic 'Breeze' or beginner-level light attribute magic 'Lantern'?
Let's start with 'Breeze'.
I look at the table of contents, open the page, and look at the magic circle with my left eye.
Is this it?
'Array Magic Eye', activate!
---
But nothing happened.
Ah, it's activated from the point of view, right?
That makes sense, I wouldn't know if a breeze started when I looked at the door.
This time, I'll aim it at my hand.
'Array Magic Eye', activate!
...
Activate! Activate! Activate!
I bring my hand closer to my eye.
'Array Magic Eye', activate!
Activate! Activate! Activate! Activate!
I feel a slight breeze on my hand.
No, it's just my breath.
I think it's better to consider 'Breeze' as a failure.
Next is 'Lantern'.
I look at the table of contents, open the page, and look at the magic circle.
I direct my gaze forward...
'Array Magic Eye', activate!
...
Activate! Activate! Activate!
---
What? Is this a failure too?
...If you allow it, I will try all the magic circles in this magic book...!
There must be at least one that works. I believe...
