I Want to Be a Receptionist in the Magic World CHAPTER 9 Part 2

UNTIL I BECAME A RECEPTIONIST

CHAPTER 9 Part 2

Translator: Masakibluei

The day after tomorrow.

The 6^th grader students are having an apophatic party before graduation. To put it simply, it’s a graduation party. The grand party will be held in the school big reception hall. The teachers will make the preparation for everything from the decoration to the food. The teachers said while smiling, ‘Even though it is a difficult task, but it will be a fun graduation party.’

As the leading guest, we will wear a formal clothing……in other words, we have to wear a dress and go to the party. There is also waltz dance or whatever dance included. But it is not a compulsory activity. You can choose to dance if you have someone who you want to dance with. Those who have a person in mind or do not have a partner yet is making a desperate attempt to find a partner prior to the party. Everyone’s eyes are glowing in the same way as they were preparing for the Battle Technique Major Competition.

Nanari: “But we are not necessary to dance…”

Marisa: “Oh, just shut up!”

Nanari: “My ear hurts!”

Marisa’s voice is echoed loudly to my eardrum.

I have never danced before. I don’t think it is useful for my future, and I’m also not a noble, so it is not something that I would learn generally. Since it was said to wear a dress for the party, for the first time in my life, my mother bought a dress and sent it to me……

Some of the teachers help the students to practice dancing after school. In addition, the noble students also offer to teach the commoner students how to dance as a friendly gesture.  It's a nice gesture for them to do so. 

In my case, I neither want to dance nor I don’t have someone that I like yet. Since we are not forced to dance, I want to put all of my attention on the delicious feast instead. Even if the dance becomes a compulsory activity, I still won’t think twice to use my time to study for my graduation preparation instead. In conclusion,  I can be called a boring person. There are people who seem to be dull like me who will damp the mood, but most of the students are making noises and excited about the party.

For some reason, someone gets to know about my intention to ditch the dance and have a feast instead. I’m talking about Marisa who suddenly approached me in my seats yesterday after school and said ‘I will teach you how to dance!’ while snorting her nose. Despite my refusal, she persistently pursues me about it until today.

Before this, I happened to see Benjamin who boldly asked Santanath out to be her partner to the party. This happened in the back yard of the school. Nike and I who by chance were passing by noticed the situation and hid ourselves to peek on them. At that time, I accidentally fell down on my knee when I was trying to hide. Hence, I was so nervous to the point that I could not even feel the pain. Even though Benjamin was the one who should be nervous.

In the end, they splendidly became an item. When Benjamin returned to our room, she instantly was made fun of by the two of us. Nevertheless, she looked really happy and her face turned so red. Thus, Nike and I also became embarrassed like her.

At the moment....

Marisa: “There is no much time left. At least, you need to remember the basic”

Nanari: “No way…I don’t want to!!”

Marisa: “Oh, shut up, you flat-chested girl.”

Nanari: “You are noisy!”

Ultimately, while being watched by Nike and Benjamin, I obediently follow her dance tutelage in our room at the dorm.

I think there are a lot of girls with older sister attribute around me who likes to take care of me. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is only a couple of days left until I leave school.

Today class is a self-study time. There is no teacher in the classroom. If this happens in the past, the class would be noisy with everyone talking with each other. However, everyone is quiet today because we need to focus on the things that we want to pursue. No one left their own seats; we stay exactly where we are and busy with our own stuff. Everyone is either focus on writing on papers or reading some books.

As included, I am currently devoted to reading a book about magical plants. For the time being, I am trying to gain various knowledge into my head. With this, there won’t be anything that I don’t know about! Let’s learn anything that I can learn. At least to the point where I can talk about it to other people.

There has been a lot of interest of the magical plant since ancient time, which range from the nectar of a flower which can heal a wound by smearing it to the human eating plant which only able to grow itself by eating a human. The magical plant has no limit. Some are poisonous, some have medicinal properties, and some others are even mysterious without any precedent knowledge of usage and utility. It is also written that a person who has earth magic type is able to grow any kind of magical plant from the soil depending on the spell. The book is more befitting for an Earth magic type user to study. It contains so many spells to summon different kinds of magical plants. It’s mortifying that no matter how hard I try to learn about it, I won’t be able to cast the spell.

“………?”

When I tried to open the next page, a small paper fell on the book. The paper is fluttering from the air and fell on top of my desk. At glance, there is something written on the paper. In the beginning, I thought someone dropped it but then it would be impossible because my seat is right at the end of the row. In other words, someone has sent a letter to me.

‘Hell. I want to meet you at the backyard after school.’

This is what is written on the paper when I read it.

The letter has no name of the sender. Thus, I have no idea who wrote the letter.

“E………”

Then there are two other letters which come in my direction. When I am flustering about the letter, one of the letters flies towards Lockman while the other flies towards me. He notices the letter and reads the content of his letter. Out of curiosity, I try to sneak peek the content of the letter to the point that my eyeballs are nearly fall out from the socket. However, he senses my presence, and immediately put the letter inside his chest pocket. (Translator note: Nanari, you have to learn how to be a ninja. Learn to be a ninja! Like Hattori, become one with the wall!)

………Isn’t it fine? I just want to peek a little bit.

After I dissed him, I then realize that I also received another letter. Inside the letter:

‘Today after school, I will wait for you in front of the fountain.”

That was written on the paper. This one too has no name of the sender. 

What an unfriendly letter! If you leave at least your name on the paper, I can go to find you right away to solve the matter. But if the sender is putting so much effort to send me a letter like this, it is probably a private matter that cannot be talked in public………No. What kind of matter that cannot be talked in public? And who wants to talk to me about it? The handwriting is different from Marisa’s, so I can’t pinpoint it. The handwriting of this letter is also different from the letter that I got previously.

“…………”

After school, I have two things to handle. I am completely unable to concentrate on my studies anymore.

In the meantime, another paper slaps and falls on my head. 

Again! 

The third paper has similar content with the previous papers. As this thing continues to happen afterward, I gradually become angry towards the mysterious senders. 

Why won’t they write their name? There is zero information on it.

If this is the case, I will reply to all the letters with ‘Sorry, I can’t come because I have something to do’ and send them back. I can’t split myself and if I go to one of the places, I will be unable to go to the others.

Translator note:
Nanari is so clueless about love. Sigh...

Hi everyone. I hope you are doing well wherever you are. Lately, we have been hearing only bad news about the pandemic on the news. But let's keep up our spirit. I wish you and your family to stay well and healthy.
