I Want to Be a Receptionist in the Magic World CHAPTER 10 Part 2

UNTIL I BECAME A RECEPTIONIST

CHAPTER 10 Part 2

Translator: Masakibluei

After exchanging some words with Marisa, I go to the food section once again. I hold a plate with my hand and grab some skewers of grilled rabbit bird legs.

Umm……delicious.

This is the best. The meat is so juicy. Although I don’t feel any enthusiasm for the party, the grilled rabbit bird legs make my night awesome.

In the meantime, one song for the dance has finished and another song starts to play right away.

The next one must be Marisa’s turn, I thought so to myself. However, when I glance toward the dance stage, Marisa has already danced together with Lockman.

Eh? Isn’t one person supposed to dance for one song each time?

I don’t know anything about dance etiquette, so I have no clue.

Nanari: “Em, excuse me.”

Other student:” E, Yes!”

Nanari: “In regards with dancing etiquette, isn’t one person supposed to dance for one song each time?”

I ask a boy from my class next to me who is also holding a plate of food on his hand. Since he is a noble, he should know about it. According to him, depending on the situation it can be bad or good. He said because this party is a private party at school between students, it’s fine to act freely as you want.

I see. So, there are various things that you must consider, huh.

Marisa looks really blissful and totally delighted while she is dancing. When I look at her like that, my body also sways, wanting to dance too. 

Other student: “Well, Nana-“

Nanari: “Thanks for explaining the etiquette. “

After I said my farewell, I leave the place. It would be fine to keep staying here, but the sweet atmosphere around the party makes me dizzy. There is a back door in the ballroom which is connected to the backyard. It might be a good idea to go over there.

‘If you already made up your mind, then let’s just go for it!’ this is my motto.

Following my motto, I do not waste my time and go right away. Of course, since I wear shoes which I am not used to wearing, I have to trot my way out so that I won’t fall.

Nanari: “It’s not over yet……”

I look at the watch while flipping my skirt and walk toward the door. It’s still not the time for the party to be over. The time feels longer than usual.

Nanari:” Let’s just go outside immediately.”

I check the surrounding area to confirm if there is no one else in the area. After I confirm that there is no one else, I open the door. Even though I know that the music is very loud, and no one will notice me if I make a little bit of noise, I walk as quietly as possible.

I go out and walk over the grass which has been trimmed recently. As I walk outside, I feel fresh air envelops my whole being which makes me want to inhale it until my lungs full. The sound of the water flowing in the fountain also pleasant to the ears.

I stretch out my hands and then staring at the wide sky. The color of the sky has change into the night at the moment. If I wait a little bit more, I can see a sky full of stars. I walk to the fountain and watch the sky for a while.

Shortly after the waltz dance session is over, the teachers start their special performance. The first teacher has a fortune-telling ability. He brings a small transparent glass marble that can show the future with him. Three students come up to the stage to try his fortune-telling and all of them give a different response toward their own readings. One of them looks happy, while another one looks pale at his readings. Despite the different reactions from the 3 students, everyone else is enjoying the whole show.

Leonidas: “Next is my turn to do a performance. Anyone who holds onto this item will become invisible for a short while. Now, who wants to try it out…Aaa, how about the womanizer over there?”

By a chance, Leonidas who is standing in the middle of the stage is happened to see Nanari leave the ballroom by herself.

Leonidas Bourdon is the homeroom teacher for Nanari and Lockman’s class. He has been looking after the class for 6 years and he is famous as a caring person among other teachers.

There was a time when a female teacher who was single, was looking for a boyfriend, and Bourdon helped to set her up with one of his friend’s acquaintances. Bourdon also helped one of his close friends who consulted with him about his personal relationship issues. Without any issue, he helped him to find a solution to solve the problem nicely.

Originally, Bourdon loves to see people smile. Therefore, when he sees a person looks bored or sad, he becomes motivated to do something for them. However, the person himself does not understand the reason why he likes to help other people. The only things that he can conclude about himself are that he likes to entertain people and he also likes all his students in his class a lot.

“Teacher! Alves-sama is only being kind to women!”

“Yeah! That’s just how he is!”

After Bourdon called Lockman as a womanizer, the girls who are gathering around Lockman starts to protest in his defense. When Bourdon sees their blinding faith in Lockman, he instantly feels envious but also pities him at the same time. Despite the commotion, he does not change his target from Lockman. Instead, he laughs at Lockman whose facial expression does not change at all.

Bourdon: “Can you come to assist me?”

Lockman: “Just do as you like.”

Lockman smiles back at Bourdon.

This student in front of him has a habit to act calmly with composure. However, from his point of view as a teacher, it’s obvious that this student actually has to go through a lot of hardship to keep his composure. His other same age fellow students who are also nobles might know about his hardship. But then again, it’s useless for Lockman to share his troubles within the school. If he shares his trouble out, it might end up as gossip, so he chooses to keep it to himself.

 Moreover, he also has to keep his image and honor. Therefore, Lockman always strives to be on top of his peers. He does not allow himself to lose to anyone else. For the better or the worst, he is also chosen as the number one candidate for the Third Prince’s escort. Either way, this makes Bourdon wonder whether Lockman had a fulfilling life during these past 6 years at school.

Bourdon: “Then, I will start.”

As he said that, he raised his dominant hand. Soon after that, Lockman disappears from the room with a bang. The surrounding audience starts to become noisy in consequence. Some of them are trying to look for him by calling for his name, and some others are making a joke about his disappearance. Meanwhile, the noble girls are walking around the ballroom to look for him.

“Sir Bourdon, where do you send him?”

One of the female teachers who had been matched up by Bourdon in the past look at him with suspicious eyes. In the past, she was utterly manipulated by Bordon, henceforth she worries about Lockman’s well being. 

This time, what is Bourdon planning to do with the student?

She feels a little uncomfortable about the magic that has just been performed by Bourdon because she realizes that the magic which Bourdon has performed on Lockman is not a magic to make him invisible. It was something else. Furthermore, the magic also made an unordinary sound.

Since Bourdon did the magic without casting the spell, she does not know what magic did he do. She then approaches Bourdon and struck his shoulder to ask what happens with Lockman.

Bourdon: “Hmm? Lockman? I’m just--------- trying to make him enjoy his youth in school.”

The female teacher: “You are doing something unnecessary again.”

Bourdon: “Well. Now, everyone, shall we do something else to have fun?”

Afterward, Bourdon waves his finger to cast several fireworks in the room and tells everyone that this is the start of his real performance.

Translator note:
After 10 chapters, we finally got their teacher's name. I was struggling before because there were so many teachers talking at the same time in one chapter, but there were no names to differentiate them. The dialogue in Japanese novels are always written without telling who says who, so it's either you read by the flow, or figure it out by their speech pattern who is the one who said this dialogue.
