At the recent meeting of the Rosenkreuz of the Rose Maiden Cross, they held a study session.

They did hold one, but everyone performed worse than Li had expected.

No, saying they could not do it would be misleading.

They understood the fundamental parts.

Especially when it came to magic-related subjects, those were fields everyone was interested in.

Because of that, their understanding there was deep.

However, when it came to subjects they had little interest in, they were completely hopeless.

So Li decided to invite everyone to her home.

It was a study session at home.

In her previous life, Li had never experienced something like that even once.

She had heard rumors about it, but she had never invited anyone nor been invited herself.

She had experienced the phrase, ‘You must not play with that child.’

So she was a little excited.

She had held tea parties before, but this felt a little different.

A tea party inevitably involved the intention of the host, while a study session did not.

However, if she was going to take the role of the teacher, Li thought she might as well.

So she tried a little harder.

The result was Li’s cosplay.

She wore high-waisted cropped-length pants adorned with a distinctive large ribbon.

She paired them with a feminine top.

Then, to look like a female teacher, she put on glasses and tied her hair back.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Li murmured, "Mm."

"Thank you for coming today—"

Lady Alberta, who was properly attending today, froze as she tried to begin her greeting.

It happened the instant she saw Li.

"Ha!"

One of the noble daughters exclaimed.

Then the Saint stood up.

"Why are you dressed like thaaaat?!"

"I thought I would try to create the right atmosphere. Does it suit me?"

At Li’s smile, Lady Alberta let out a buhff and collapsed to her knees.

"I-it suits you very well!"

"Big Sister Li, it’s amazing! You look more like a teacher than the real teachers!"

Lady Patricia clenched both her fists, her face flushed.

"Well then, everyone, today we’re going to be strict!"

"Please teach us, Teacher Li!"

For some reason, the noble daughters were overflowing with motivation.

Watching them, Li nodded with satisfaction.

Today’s study session was not held in the usual salon but in a log-house-style simple base.

Everyone had used it during camping training before, so it felt familiar, almost like home.

Each of them sat wherever they liked while listening to Li’s lecture.

Their eyes were completely serious.

"Well then, shall we take a break soon?"

Li said this when they reached a good stopping point.

"Teacher Li! Could you please explain this part in a bit more detail?"

It was Lady Alberta.

She had been a capable noble daughter, but Li’s worries had turned out to be correct after all.

She had been playing with Chiffon, the moon rabbit.

However, capable noble daughters were different.

Once she switched into serious mode, she could concentrate.

"That part is..."

Li brushed back a strand of hair that had fallen.

Seeing that gesture, a sound like a collective sigh rose from the noble daughters.

"Big Sister Li! Patty wants you to teach her too!"

Then hands started rising one after another.

Meanwhile, only the Saint was calmly drinking tea.

In her hand was a sandwich Li had prepared.

"As expected, this roast beef sandwich is delicious."

"Hey! Erika!"

Lady Alberta called out as the Saint continued eating.

"What?"

"When you have food in your mouth, don’t talk!"

Ignoring those words, the Saint washed it down with black tea.

"There’s still plenty left. Ally’s portion won’t run out."

"I-I’m not worried about that!"

"Says the glutton!"

"That would be you, wouldn’t it?"

"Then I’ll eat Ally’s portion too!"

They were making a noisy fuss.

But Li did not mind at all.

She thought that this kind of lively commotion was the real charm of a study session.
