The Reincarnated Swordsman Is A Genius mage

Chapter 12

Suno found himself immersed in the vast library, seeking answers about demons and the mysterious events surrounding his arrival. Puzzled by the lack of prior knowledge, he mused, "I wonder why I haven't heard or even read about demons before today. So much I don't understand."

As Suno delved into his research, Aiko observed him from the shadows. Meanwhile, Emilia, another resident, approached him in the library.

"Hey, Suno, what are you doing in the library?" Emilia inquired.

Suno, focused on his quest for knowledge, replied, "Huh? Oh hi Emilia, I'm looking for books about demons."

Emilia questioned his choice, to which Suno simply stated, "Just learning everything I can. I've never seen so many books before."

Emilia, being accommodating, invited Suno to read as much as he pleased and informed him that she had cleaned his room for him to rest.

Grateful, Suno spent the day engrossed in his studies, eventually falling asleep with a book as his makeshift pillow. When he awoke, he found himself face-first in the pages, surrounded by an unfamiliar blanket.

Suno pondered, "How long have I been here? And where did this blanket come from? I should put these books back."

The maid gently took Suno's hand and led him to a different room, prompting his curiosity.

Suno asked, "Why are we here?"

The maid explained, "I was told to be in charge of teaching you proper etiquette."

Suno, somewhat defensively, replied, "I know etiquette."

The maid challenged him, "Oh, you do? How should you greet guests when they arrive?"

Suno confidently stated, "You bow or shake hands."

The maid then instructed, "Show me."

Suno proceeded to bow before the maid, but she critiqued, "Why did you bow that low? I'm just a guest; you don't know my status."

Suno, a bit irritated, asked, "Status? What does that mean?"

The maid clarified, "Etiquette demands that you must know who you are bowing to and how."

Growing more frustrated, Suno questioned, "Okay, why do I need to know this? I know general manners; isn't that enough?"

The maid emphasized, "You don't intend to stay inside forever, do you? Eventually, you're going to meet other members of status, and you'll want to make a good impression on them."

Suno sighed in resignation, "This is so... Can I leave now?"

The maid's expression turned more serious as she said, "The majesties gave me orders to help you learn, and that's what I intend to do, young Suno."

Suddenly, Suno felt a strange force, and he exclaimed, "Wait a second, what are you doing? Get away... AHH!"

And so, Suno found himself forced to learn proper etiquette over the course of a week.

Waking up to another day Suno thought to himself, "I'm not going to train today, not in the mood."

He leaves his room, and Emilia is waiting outside.

Suno greets her, "Good morning, Emilia. You know you could have waited inside."

Emilia responds, "Oh, I could never. Besides, we have a much more important thing to discuss. The king and queen summoned you for a discussion."

Suno comments, "Good, I wanted to talk to them anyway, about that etiquette training."

Now standing in the throne room with the king and queen, Grevas says, "You've arrived, Suno, nice and early. Listen, we decided to throw a celebration for you for your outstanding actions."
