At six years old, my education as a proper lady began in earnest.
In addition to learning proper behavior, it was necessary for me to acquire the education befitting of a young lady. I never thought that the nobility could escape from studying, so I knew this day would eventually come.
My little brother's etiquette education had just begun as well, so I had to show off and prove that I was quite impressive.
Hehehe, now is the time for my memories of my past life to awaken! My cheat knowledge will be unstoppable!!
At least, that's what I thought back then.
In this world, not only is magic present, but science and technology have also advanced.
It's common for knights and soldiers to carry guns in addition to swords, and it seems that bulletproof measures have also progressed.
The energy source is not fossil fuels, but cars are used as a means of transportation.
Money is not in the form of gold or silver coins, but paper currency is used. Special printing to prevent counterfeit bills, as well as magical replication prevention measures, are implemented.
There are too many examples to list, but modernization has advanced greatly.
However, since the habitat of monsters is extensive in this world, they constantly threaten people. As a result, living areas do not expand as people desire, and to me, it seems like development is distorted. I also learned that limited access to resources due to monsters is one of the reasons that hinders development.
I think the continuation of the ruling system by the aristocracy is also for the same reason. Due to the obstruction of population growth by monsters, the improvement of the social status of the common people is hindered. In other words, the country is satisfied with the situation of protecting their own lives, and they cannot question things that they cannot involve themselves in politically.
As a result of prioritizing the development of weapons and means of transportation under limited conditions, it seems that the development of technology has surpassed the richness of life. Developing technology is done to advance the country, and using it to enrich the people is impossible unless there is a lot of surplus.
So, the reality I face is that the advancement of modernization has made the study content more complex.
I could handle simple arithmetic, but when it came to factoring and trigonometric functions after two years, I cried out in agony. Do young ladies really need to know complex numbers?
But math is still the least of my worries.
As for language, being able to speak the language of neighboring countries is apparently the bare minimum for nobles. But since I am a daughter of a duke, I am starting with learning three languages. Why only "starting with"? Can't I just count Japanese and English?
Soon after I began learning, I was instructed to converse only in foreign languages during meals and tea parties with my parents. I no longer had any time to relax. Hydro and Tetra followed suit and began demanding responses in foreign languages, but even Fran began to follow along later.
I began to hate Fran for a while.
The most troublesome subject for me was natural science.
In this world, there is magic. Therefore, the fundamental principles of mass and energy conservation that were the basis of the physics laws of the previous world do not apply here. Instead, unique laws have been established, but learning them from scratch is tough. Plus, there are some phenomena that I find difficult to comprehend.
Of course, it's not only physics that is based on magic. Medicine is also unique because of healing magic, and the interpretation of life activities itself is based on magic. With the existence of magical creatures, various ecosystems are entirely different.
I know it might not sound like something Moeyo-san, who made a bead for me, would say, but don't treat common sense from the previous world as fantasy!
Of course, it's not just book learning that I have to do.
Learning at least the basics of self-defense and acquiring skills in music and art are hobbies for noble ladies. I have also started studying magic.
Education for nobles in this different world was not comparable to the cramming education of the previous world!
Thrown into a pool of knowledge, struggling not to drown, only to have another subject crammed down my throat. I've heard that young people can absorb knowledge more easily, but isn't there a limit to that?!
Being chased by the things I have to do every day, I realize it fully.
I inherited my father's and mother's talents, and I have memories of Fuyuranbu dance, but I'm still the Scarlet Northmark's daughter. If not, there is no way that I, who was a mob existence in the previous life, could adapt to this harsh environment. Although Fuyuranbu in my mind was against memorizing thick textbooks, I find myself absorbing knowledge quickly when I start studying. It's like I'm not even myself.
Sometimes, even though I only have a license for a small motorcycle, I feel like riding a big 1000cc motorcycle.
"Ah~~~~"
I collapsed on the sofa after finishing today's tasks. To be honest, I want to dive into the bed, but I can't because I'll get scolded even in private if I jump in without changing clothes.
Today's girly time is over. I did my best again today. Even if you have talent, there are limits.
"Fran~~~~"
"Yes, what is it?"
The tea after studying is full of sugar. Yes, Fran understands me.
Worried about taking in too much sugar? It's not the time to worry about that. My exhausted brain is craving calories. And I'm still in my growth period, so I'll be fine.
After refueling, I want some healing.
"Ughh!"
As I spread my arms in a cutesy manner, Fran approached me with a helpless look and I buried my face in her chest.
Mmmm, so soft~♡
"Miss is doing her best, and Fran is proud of her."
Fran's affection towards me is proof that my studies are going well. But if I fall behind, this time would turn into a strict lecture from the tutor Fran. Even if I explained that everyone has strengths and weaknesses, I wouldn't be heard. She's a demon!
As my studies intensified, I had no time to tease Fran, and before I knew it, she had become quite ladylike. Her chest was even bigger than our mother's, and her lively pigtails were neatly tied up, her eyes full of confidence.
Although she is still an apprentice due to being underage, everyone treats her as a full-fledged maid. I am the head maid in charge, but Fran is the true center of our household. The others are just caretakers while I am here, but Fran will remain my exclusive (future) attendant even after I get married.
Fran, the maid apprentice who I wanted to pamper, is now my reliable servant.
"By the way, Miss, if you don't prepare soon, you'll be late for your appointment with Carmine-sama."
When I was informed of my schedule, my spine straightened. That's right, I was asked by my adorable younger brother Kamin to take charge of his manners education, as our busy mother couldn't.
I can't show my tiredness after studying, and of course, I can't be seen being comforted by Fran's chest. I'm a cool older sister, after all.
Although it's hard to leave Fran's chest, my beloved Kamin is a different matter.
End of cutesy mode, activating older sister mode.
The daily life of a noble young lady is busy but fulfilling.
