Chapter 218.1. The Entrance Ceremony
Swaying gently in the most comfortable and expensive limousine, Mii-chan arrived at the front gate of the middle school she would attend today.
“We have arrived, Miu-sama.”
“Thank you, Ranko-san.”
Ranko-san, a capable maid opened the car door with a click, and Mii-chan got out of the car with a composed attitude, suppressing a yawn.
After all, the seats were so soft that she fell asleep. Even now, Nimue is peacefully sleeping on the seat, looking comfortable.
But now, Takano County is one of the wealthiest among the 36 noble families.
Mii-chan must show her ladylike demeanor, so she endures it.
All the students are paying attention to Mii-chan as she gets out of the limousine, so she slightly tilts her head and lets her hair flutter, giving a gentle smile.
“Good morning, everyone. Sha-la-la~”
I slightly lift the hem of my skirt to greet everyone.
By adding the onomatopoeia “sha-la-la,” I learned from unnecessary knowledge in girls’ manga, I created an elegant gesture.
“Good morning, Mii-sama. The sailor uniform suits you well.”
As Mii-chan gets out of the limousine, Yamiyo approaches quickly to greet her.
Her behavior is refined, and she exudes a noble lady’s charm. Her beautiful and glossy black hair, resembling raven feathers, stretches down to her waist, and her facial features hint at a future beauty, presenting a graceful smile that exudes the essence of a Yamato Nadeshiko.
However, for some reason, she has a single-lens reflex camera hanging from her shoulder, taking pictures of Mii-chan.
That slightly undermines her Yamato Nadeshiko atmosphere.

As Yamiyo seems about to lie down and take a picture, Mii-chan holds her back.
“I’m practicing to become a photographer in the future, but I always get carried away… It’s embarrassing.”
Blushing with embarrassment, Yamiyo puts the camera away, smiles gracefully, and becomes a Yamato Nadeshiko once again.
“Em-chan, I found you~.”
“Tamamo-chan, good morning~.”
The one who energetically clings to Mii-chan’s neck is Tamamo.
Although she has grown a little taller, her personality and appearance haven’t changed much.
When Tamamo squeezes her, there’s a slight recoil from the past, but Mii-chan is in her growth phase, so it’s not a problem.
Well, there shouldn’t be any issues.
“Your skin is so smooth~ So squishy~.”
“It’s tickles!”
“It’s too sticky, Tamamo-chan.”
With her blonde hair tied into a side ponytail that reaches her shoulders and a little fox perched on her head, she now looks somewhat mischievous little devil.
And her figure. She might have grown the most among the trio of Mii-chan’s friends.
Isn’t there anyone selling additional armor, by any chance?
“Tamamo-chan, you’re always too clingy, you know?”
“Aww, but Tamamo’s cheeks are squishy too, right?”
“I’ll get back to you~.”
She pushes her squishy cheeks against mine, and Tamamo giggles happily.
So, Mii-chan also presses her cheeks against Tamamo’s and enjoys the softness.
“That’s not fair, Tamamo-chan! I’ll hug you too!”
Yamiyo also joins the embrace, and a cheek-squishing contest ensues.
It’s unclear how we determined the winner.
“Look, it’s the Holy Maiden Trio!”
“Wow, they’re adorable~.”
“And so dignified.”
“What a splendid three-way cheek squeeze.”
The students at the main gate are excitedly chattering upon seeing me and my friends.
It feels like being in a world.
Ordinarily, such a commotion wouldn’t happen for someone who isn’t a celebrity.
Today, Mii-chan is enrolling in the Magic Academy Affiliated Middle School Yayoi.
The school has a vast campus with a beautiful avenue of cherry blossoms leading to the buildings across a fountain.
The school has been renovated multiple times and boasts state-of-the-art facilities.
It’s a school exclusively for magicians, many students also come from wealthy families.
The uniforms alone cost more than the average monthly income, and the students excel in mana, with many being skilled magic users.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough the students have a strong sense of elitism, they also look at me and my friends with admiration.
“We’re being watched~ It’s making me shy~”
Tamamo jests by poking fun, but it can’t be helped.
Since its establishment, the Holy Knights have achieved a fair amount of success.
While we haven’t made extraordinary achievements, we’ve garnered enough fame.
We often visit someone who needs recovery magic, gaining recognition even from Kanna Dukedom’s faction, and we have outperformed the new products from the Puppy Dog Company owned by the Marquis Menou, producing better magic tools and taking away market share.
So our names have become well-known.
Is it unrelated to the Holy Knights?
Don’t worry. I inform the nobles who need recovery magic that we’re from the Emperor’s faction.
“Let’s go see our class!”
It’s an exciting and nerve-wracking class assignment announcement.
The selection isn’t solely based on excellence, so I had a mix of anticipation and anxiety.
“Understood, Mii-sama. Shall we go to Class 1-3?”
Among the 5 classes, Yamiyo suggests going to the middle one with a graceful smile.
“Class 1-3 was super popular, so it must have been tough, right?”
“Why is it so popular? Isn’t it just leaving it to luck?”
“But the teachers were really happy. They bought new cars and did home renovations.”
“Because Em-chan and Sena-chan joined that class, they must’ve been doting over them. They’re smitten.”
“Arf arf!”
The teachers suddenly seem to have better financial circumstances.
Yamiyo says it calmly while swinging her side ponytail, Tamamo gets angry, and Kon-chan makes cute barking sounds.
