/ They Said My Status Stayed the Same Even Though I Reincarnated in Another World!? Chapter 53-56
"Well then. . .Kamille-san seems to be a trustworthy person. Do you have something to say Rigurett-sama?"
My Onee-sama returned us to our conversation at hand.
I guess she is right. Rig has been keeping her past a secret.
". . .Do you truly believe Kami-sama's story about being a guardian spirit?"
Well that's a reasonable question.
However, it does say much about my Onee-sama, if Kami-sama trust her enough to let her know that.
"It's not that it's based only on her story. My eyes knew from the start that Kamille-san was not malicious. In addition to that, Rigurett-sama seems to believe that story. Is that right?"
"Yeah that's right. . . I do believe that she is Fari's guardian spirit. Quellsan, you really do have good eyes."
"Thank you for saying that."
My Onee-sama then gave Rig another bow.
"But if you were to tell us Rigurett-sama's secret, it would be proof you trust us as reliable companions."
"I see. That makes sense."
"Thank you very much."
"I think you've thanked me enough already. Anyways. . .I wonder if you'll find this acceptable."
As Rig said that, she looked around her to make sure nobody but us was listening. She then held my hand to give me a signal.
We all looked at her and gave her a nod.
"Well- – -I think its best for me to explain the Crausus family for idiots like Fari."
"R-Rig. . .That's cruel."
"Oh, well if you would've done your studying, you would've noticed who I was right from the start, right?"
"Uuu."
"And honestly, I couldn't believe that you didn't know who I was after learning my name."
"Eh? Is that true Fari?"
My Onee-sama was looking at me shocked.
"I-I'm sorry. . .I felt like I heard that name somewhere, but I couldn't remember. . .I didn't know."
"You usually say"You didn't know.""
"Auu."
I was stabbed in the heart by Onee-sama brutal truth.
". . .Well, anyways. I am Rigurett Crausus, the only daughter of the Arch Duke Crausus family. I am 13th in line to the throne."
Once again, something groundbreaking was said.
So she has a right to inherit the throne.
. . .As soon as I thought about that I got excited.
I'm friends with an actual princess!
That's pretty amazing.
"What are you smiling about Fari?"
"N-Nothing!"
I immediately tightened my face in response to Rig's warning.
"Although I do have a claim to the throne, I have little chance of actually becoming a ruler, I'm not truly a member of the royal family. That's only the rank according to the law of succession."
"Well, I guess so. If you're family is called Arch Duke, then there must be a difference to the royal family."
"Maybe, however that's not the problem. . .my problem comes from my Following Mother's position."
"Following Mother" is a term only used in this world, Phantasm.
In Phantasm where it's common for two women to marry, a word to distinguish the two mothers is needed.
When women are married to each other, one is called "Following Mother or Tsugi Mother, 次母" or "Entering Mother or Iri Mother, 入母" and opposite to her. Her wife would be called "Foundation Mother, Moto Mother 元母 " or "Head Mother or Osa Mother. 長母"
The woman who is asked and marries is called the "Following Wife" or "Entering Wife". And the woman who asks for their hand in marriage is called "Foundation Wife." or "Head Wife".
"If I can recall correctly, the Following Mother-sama was a priestess of the classical heroism religion."
"That is right, Quellsan. My Following Mother is a former priestess."
Chapter 54: The Faith of Classical Heroism.The religion of Classical Heroism is the most popular religion in the world.
A long time ago, many thousands of years ago. The demon king and many powerful monster came all at the same time.
In humanity's darkest hour, a hero-sama who is believed to have received power from God, saved humanity.
Classical heroism is a religion based on the hero attitude and path. It was then said. "That god's teaching was then given to the priestess." and she proclaims the teachings left behind by the hero.
Classical heroism is a religion that expanses past borders. It's one of the strongest institutions in the world.
Our country, The Kingdom of St.Valeria, is a mighty power that follows Classical heroism. There are also numerous smaller neighboring countries that follow classical heroism.
So in short- – -If you are a former priestess, you have a great amount of influential power.
. . . .I'm not an idiot, I'm just bored by aristocratic politics.
I know about this because I've been taught about it at home.
"So in short, With a Following Mother being a former priestess, and a Head Mother being of royal descent. I have a very valuable existence."
Rig said that in an exhausted tone.
So in short- – -Rig has a lot of power.
"To be honest, I do have a very powerful influential voice. Moreover, my influence isn't limited to just this country, but with the influence of Classical Heroism, I have political power in even smaller countries."
"Ahaha. . .That's quite the scary story."
My Onee-sama is surprised by the power Rig actually holds.
"Yeah, so there aren't any aristocrats that will challenge me in this country. However, at the same time. My presence is a very appetizing thing."
Rig grimaced as she crunched her eyebrows in disgust.
"It's a very unpleasant story, but there are many people who want to improve their prestige by marrying me. Regardless of my own opinion on the matter, they continues approach me. Trying to worm their way into my life."
"Rig must be really popular."
"I'm stuck like this, but I guess so. . .There were no people who valued me for myself. The purpose for their continuous onslaught of proposals was simply my special political power. It's honestly just really tiring. It's the reason I value my privacy so much."
"Huh, I see. So that's why you are at the Hunter's Academy?"
"As expected of Quellsan, you caught on quick. Yes that's right."
Onee-sama and Rig were nodding their heads in agreement.
I am confused.
"What are you talking about, Onee-sama?"
"The Hunter's Academy is a royal school. And that means it was established by the royal family with rules in place."
"Hmm, like what?"
"Well, the main point of the hunter's academy is to nurture student's knowledge. To that end, they spend a lot of money running this school. However if you get married while in school, it ruins that purpose. Therefore if you get married you will be removed from the school."
"I see, I see."
"So all forms of engagement and marriage is prohibited while studying at the Hunter's Academy."
"That's right, therefore Rigurett-sama can escape the courtship storm."
I finally get it.
"That's great. Even an idiot like Fari can understand that."
"I'm not an idiot!"
I'm being ridiculed by Rig again!
Though She just brushes my head in response to my denial.
". . .However, it's just a temporary rest. I understand that I'll eventually have to marry someone somewhere. However, thanks to my mothers, I have the opportunity to simply enjoy my youth. I get to fully experience my school life."
Rig had a mysterious expression on her face. Like a nostalgic smile.
I'm sure she was remembering her two mothers.
Chapter 55: Fari Gets Interrogated.After Rig finished sharing, we finally decided to get some breakfast.
The food in the cafeteria was modest. The quantity and quality was alright.
At least it was better than the cheap hotel I stayed at before coming here.
And finally once we were almost done with our meal. More people started to enter the cafeteria.
That's when my Onee-sama asked.
". . .Oh weren't you going to tell me soon, Fari?"
"Huh?"
"Why you are in the Hunter's Academy?"
I was completely taken off guard, I choked a little on my meal.
That's right.
My sister still doesn't know about my magical aptitude, or what happened at home.
"Umm, that. . ."
"Father said Fari was still a long way away from her training being complete."
". . .Umm, there were various things that happened."
"Then can you tell me?"
"Okay. . ."
I can't hide it from my Onee-sama.
So I'll just be completely honest.
First of all, I awoke my magical talent and almost killed Papa.
And Papa moved up my scheduled departure day, and sent me to the Hunter's Academy early.
I have magical aptitude and resistance to all attributes.
Also I fought Rigurett-san during the entrance exam.
I told her everything that has happened recently.
Of course, I told her that I'm receiving special powers from Kami-sama.
And those powers are now sealed because my powers are too strong.
Furthermore, that I also have useful skills and items. Like the super search, huge storage capacity, and the punishment stick.
However, the only thing I did hide was my new memories from my past life, and that Kami-sama was actually a God.
Only because I don't think it's believable. Also it's just too much information and it's too sudden.
"Huhh. Well, then the genius little girl who passed with overwhelming test scores on the last entrance exam was Fari."
"Ehhhh!? That is a rumor!?"
"That's right. If you pass with those scores of course they will be noticed. Not just by the candidates, but also the students who were watching that day."
"Uuuu. . .I was trying not to stand out. . .I hate standing out. . ."
I realized the depressing future I may have at school.
I don't want to live as the rumored genius little girl.
I just want a life as calm as possible.
"So, what is this punishment stick you brought up?"
My Onee-sama then picked up the punishment stick I brought out during my explanation.
". . .So it is a magical tool? Then perhaps Fari has an inscription tied to it?"
My Onee-sama said as she gazed at the dark knife.
"Inscription? What do you mean?"
"Ahh, that's right. Fari wouldn't have been taught that by Papa yet."
My Onee-sama whispered that. As if just realizing it.
"Well it's alright, Fari. Magical tools are useful equipment that anyone can use. However it would be very bad if someone stole it."
"Yeah, I understand that."
"So that's why magical tool owners mark their tools with inscriptions. If you do that, the tool will respond only to the person who gave it the inscription. So if Fari gives the knife a name, it will be tied to her. It will be an ordinary knife for everybody but Fari."
So that means it's power can't be pointed towards me if it's snatch away.
"I see. . . Then I'll give it a name!"
"The inscription must be magically created. Can you do that?"
"Maybe, but I can!"
I have no reason to believe I can, but with my magical aptitude, it is certainly possible.
Chapter 56: Fari's ChallengeI held the punishment stick in my hands and closed my eyes to think.
I need to think about a name.
However what is a good name?. . .It's main use is as a punishment stick.
Punishment, that's the main purpose. So maybe Scold?
No, that's too easy.
I want a little more pizazz in the name.
Punishment. . .The Special Punishment. . .Punishment EX. . .
Then it came to me.
EX Scolder. . .That's it! Exscolibur! That's the one!
It has a strong Excalibur like name to it.
I felt there was a connection in my mind.
I responded to that connection.
Your name is Exscolibur from today onward. . .Exscolibur. . .
I repeated that over and over again.
Eventually I felt our response become clearer.
And then. . .something popped into my head.
"Whooa!?"
I unintentionally opened my eyes.
"Well? Were you able to inscribe it?"
"Yeah!"
"Well, then let's see?. . ."
I handed Exscolibur to my Onee-sama, and then she looked at it carefully.
". . .It seems to be inscribed. By the way, what name did you give it?"
"Exscolibur! Because it's a stylish name!"
"Huh, why did you choose that one?"
"Uhh!? Well. . .It has a special u-use. . .Yeah, something like that. . ."
"Hmm."
I can't let Onee-sama know. She needs to be kept in the dark.
Meanwhile, Kami-sama had a pale expression.
She seems to know the meaning behind the name.
"- – -Alright, with everything in order, we shall begin it with no reservations."
My Onee-sama suddenly started talking about something.
I have no idea about what she is talking about.
"What's wrong, Onee-sama?"
I didn't know what was happening so I tilted my head. Rig was in a similar state, and looked at my Onee-sama with confusion.
"Well then Fari! Let's have a duel!"
". . .Huh?"
Even if you ask me, I still don't understand why.
Another chapters for the pile. I wonder if the hero lore will involve Fari? Also now we know Rigurett-san is OP as well. well OP in the political sense.
Also the whole mother thing is confusing. It's simpler in Japanese because it's just a short little thing in the front. But in English it is more cumbersome.
Next chapter in like 3-5 days. I don't really have a schedule anymore. I kinda just translate and then decide “yeah that's a good cut off” . Mainly because I just go through these chapters so quickly.
I'm drinking coffee right now. If you'd like to support this habit
Chapter end
