    AN: John San is a person who cannot be frank but he is still an honest fellow.


    As I walked into William-sama’s room, apart from the thick table that exuded aposed and dignified aura, the whole room felt bright and airy.


    ” Ah, Mary-san, thank you. ”


    William-sama gave his thanks for the tea brought by a woman who seemed to be a maid. For the time being, he was as expected, a polite and level-headed person.


    ” ....... ”


    ” .......... ”


    But I was troubled.


    Even if this was my wish, I could not seem to find any word to start a conversation. Besides, I found myself much more nervous than I thought I would be that I froze.


    It should be me, the elder, to break the ice. And even if I had thought of various things, my mind went nk ever since I came in.


    ” ...Erm... ”


    William-sama said, timidly.


    What a disgrace, showing such a (frozen) face. Perhaps, I might be seen as ring at him.


    ” Ah, I am sorry. ”


    Embarrassed, I coughed.


    This time, I made sure to focus on William-sama before I opened my mouth.


    ....Rx, rx.


    ” I unknowingly got nervous. As you know, I am John Veltor, and I will be working as your tutor from today onward. ”


    Trying to avoid a scary impression, I carefully paid attention to my words as I introduced myself. And then, William-sama returned with a graceful greeting.


    ” Yes, I will be in your care. I am Williams Beryl, please call me Will. ”


    At the birthday debut, I did think about the possibility that he had memorized that speech. I still found it difficult to believe that a 3 years old kid could talk like that.


    But, once I came here, I was convinced.


    Yes, it was William-sama who prepared that speech. It was too shocking.


    ” Erm, what should I call Veltor-sama? ”


    As I was called out, my attention snapped back.


    This was getting interesting, I could not help but give in to my mischievous side.


    ” You can call me however you prefer. Only... ”


    Well then, how would this young genius react to this? As I was thinking about that, I instinctively smiled.


    ” ..not Veltor please. ”


    I had thrown my family name away.


    Since I, who was born into the problematic Veltor house, was to undertake the position of an educator role, I wanted to, at least ry this to Williams-sama and of course, Gion-sama.


    And above all, how he would react upon understanding my words. I did feel sorry for testing him but most of all, I was amused.


    William-sama immediately gave a smile and replied.


    ” Then, John-sensei! Would that be all right? ”


    The reply, that was more than what I expected, was slightly jaw-dropping.’


    .....I could only say that he was indeed a genius.


    It was a reply that he understood that I was uninterested in power, house name or currying favor just by my words alone.


    ” Yes please, I look forward to working with you. ”


    With no rtions to with my family, he narrowed the rtion down to a personal level by simply using my name and attaching ‘Sensei’ to it. Wonderful. It was wonderful how he exceeded my expectations.


    To be able to teach this person, I was d I left my house. I might be a fortunate person.


    Unconsciously, I began talking, being in a good mood.


    ” By the way, Will-sama. ”


    With that, Will showed a displeased face.


    ” John-sensei, please stop with the ‘Sama’. ”


    What a humble attitude.


    To tell the truth, although Beryl and Veltor family sounded alike, they could not even bepared against.


    Veltor being a Viscount house, Beryl being a Duke house.


    In addition, the name of Veltor house was at the bottom. Inparison, Beryl house, in addition to Gion-sama’s activities and his good ruling with, had the reputation of being the best in the country. They were also a family that had a long standing history. Really, towards that person....I only had admiration.


    In the end, the rtionship with me was not of noble standing but instead, a pure student and teacher one.


    ” Then... Will-san ”


    ” Will alone is fine. ”


    ” ...Eh...That is a bit... ”


    ” It’s okay because you are my Sensei! ”


    As I thought.


    It was difficult to suppress my instinct to smile. Even if I tried to resist, he had insisted to call him Will with apelling attitude. This made it very clear that we were a teacher and student.


    ” Ah yes Sensei, what is the matter? ”


    Will said, as he remembered that I wanted to say something.


    ” Ah. It’s just..If you don’t mind me asking, it is a little early for a 3 years old kid to have a tutor. I was wondering if you made this request or was it Sir Gion’s idea? ”


    Really, how did Gion-sama educate? I really could not imagine.


    But, Will smiled bitterly and answered.


    ” No, it was me who requested. ”


    Ah, really, today, no matter how many hearts I had, they would not be enough.


    ” It’s Will’s...? But why? I don’t mean to be rude but boys at your age usually only think about having fun. ”


    ” I don’t know anything. I am proud seeing Father so needed (busy) but as for me, I can’t help with anything... ”


    I remembered that I was shocked by the mischievous tone Will had used.


    ” ...And I am frustrated with that. ”


    Really.....This person.


    Was a genius to the extent that you would be amazed.


    And I wondered if this was fate. I kept feeling that it was.


    ” So that is why.. ”


    I had be the tutor of this person.


    With the ability I had, I wondered if it would be enough.


    ” Well then, let’s study hard as soon as possible, shall we, Will? ”
