TLN: Changing 'scholarshi+p student' to 'honor student' since it sounds less stiff
Also, to people wondering about some of the names and why a few of them are spelt differently than how they normally would, it's because that's how the official website spells them:
There's a class about manners for a tea ceremony
The teacher of the class was a gentleman with a neatly-ordered mustache who felt like a male instructor He was an instructor that wore a suit over his slihtened his back
Right now there's a table placed in the classroom, with sweets and tea laid out
It see us how to use utensils
“Ready? When you invite a woman to a tea ceremony, you need to think about how you appear From your behavior and up to what kind of education you received, your partner will see through into what kind of person you are If you properly welcoh favor”
The boys sat silently in the classroo the mannerisms
My father said that he also studied tea cereot about theraduated Indeed, it's possible that one's behavior in their usual life may be looked into, but would one's partner look that far?
In any case, wo with their sub-race slaves, their lovers, as if to flaunt the ular behavior
“Hey, Mister Leon! Please take these lessons with more tenacity!”
“R, right!”
As I responded to his warning, I heard the laughter and chuckles ofare the heirs from rich noble houses or from the royal court
“He's a country bumpkin, after all”
“He gets all prideful just because he accomplished a small achievement”
“A savage like hi an adventurer, but not for this place”
The instructor straightened his back and continued the lesson
“The first thing that matters in the tea cereathered utensils It is out of the question to hold up a vacant room! Be very particular about each and every utensil, and then invite the girl into your specialized roo your tea ceremony is not below third-rate”
Is there even athat there wouldn't be a use for theh me
“Mister Leon…it seems you don't understand Well then, let's put it into practice”
Being called up, it seeuest to be entertained
It's not a big deal anyways
I, who doesn't have an interest in tea or things of that sort, ondering what significance there was in things like expensive tea leaves I think that even the cheap ones are fine
I did my best to make a reply that see on the inside
“Wow~, how enjoyable”
Perhaps getting motivated, the instructor adjusted his collar
“Well, do enjoy yourself”
The instructor made a smile
He did best to boast about pricey tea leaves and sweets I laughed on the inside while being impressed on the outside
At least I thought as such──
──After the lessons were over
When he left the classroo out
“Teacher! I'm deeply moved!”
Holding his head high, the instructor stroked hisback
What a spectacle
A gentle backwards
“Mister Leon, it seems you understand”
I'm ashamed of my past self
“Right! I haddown on it I am dreadfully embarrassed of that I have deeply reflected on it noant to hold a perfect tea ceremony like you, teacher!”
The instructor nods with a smile
“Very good However, you're mistaken”
“Huh?”
The instructor turned around to face ht hand on his chest
Each and every one of his entlemanly
“The i is to welcome them Furthermore, I'm only halfway there Even to this day, I cannot provide a fully satisfying hospitality yet”
“I, I see Even you're not perfect, teacher?”
The instructor nods
“Yes, that is so I too a for that time, that moment where I reach the best hospitality, but I still haven't arrived at that state However, I can teach the basics Mister Leon, how about we traverse the path of tea together?”
“Of course! Teacher──no, Mentor!”
As the instructor──no wait,with a smile, I heard the voices of Daniel and Raymond from behind
“…Did Leon hit his head?”
“Who knows? Well, it's fine as long as he isn't hopeless, right?”
It was the May tea ceremony
