One more week until the Spirit Summoning Ceremony.
There are many people coming and going in the school, and you can see many people involved in rituals such as magicians and priests.

Among them, Lord Theodore seems to be the person in charge, and we meet more often.
Whenever we meet, he casually talks to me, but he always looks exhausted. She got worried and asked what happened, and she apparently had a hard time running away from the fierce attacks from the schoolgirls.

Certainly, the next Marquess, the future commander of the magic division, and that good-looking...
I feel like it would be unreasonable to tell the female students not to target them.

“Ara, Viscount Furion is very popular today as well.”

Mr. Abbott, who was walking side by side in the hallway on the second floor, looked down from the window and muttered.
Yes, it seems that Theodore-sama is still surrounded by female students today.

His Highness is often surrounded in the same way, but he always dodges quickly while maintaining a mild demeanor.
On the other hand, Theodore-sama seems to have a tiresome appearance in his attitude.
…Maybe it's the difference in the skill of dealing with people rather than women.

Ah, I saw you.

Are you saying something with your mouth wide open?
Um, something.

"Do something"?

Hearing that, I leaned over to the window and looked down, but the number of female students had increased compared to the day before.
In that case, I might try to do something about it and it might just fly out.

Come to think of it, His Highness also said, ''It can't be helped since it won't make a fiancée. You should leave it alone,' he said.

I'm sorry, Mr. Theodore.

I am very weak now.

I'll have Samuel make something delicious next time, so please forgive me for today.
When I apologized in my heart, I gently took my gaze away from Theodore-sama.
The sharp gaze I feel from below is just my imagination.

Then, I quietly stepped away from the window and smiled at Mr. Abbott.

“Abbot-san will also participate in the spirit summoning ceremony, right?”
"Yeah, I'm depressed because I don't know if I'll succeed.
If you are a student, you can watch it. That's why if you fail, it's hard to go to school the next day."
"It's okay. If the magician decides that you can't make a contract in the first place, you can't participate in the ceremony itself."
"...That's right.
It's not like it failed a few years ago. I hear that that person is still staying away from society and shutting himself away in his territory.」

Yes, this spirit summoning ceremony is held in the arena inside the school. This arena is also used for school festivals, magic competitions, and swordsmanship competitions.
The audience seats are on a sloping staircase, and there are seats for honored guests.

Because it is held in such a state surrounded from all directions, the tension of the participating students is considerable.
Of course, I also participated last time, but at that time I was able to make a contract with a medium-ranked spirit as the top batter, so I remember returning to the waiting room triumphantly in the midst of applause.

For that reason, I didn't see Anna-san's ceremony last time when she appeared at the end and was blessed by the Spirit King of Light.
I remember that Katrina-sama, who was in the bleachers at that time, later said with an ecstatic expression that the Spirit King of Light was so divine and so beautiful.
Many of the students were moved to tears.
