Thank you for reading the fourth volume of In Another World with Household Spells.
It’s now been a year and a half since regular office worker Kaoru Aoyama reincarnated as Patience Granger, the daughter of an impoverished noble family. The Grangers now have a lot more food than when she first reincarnated into this world, but Patience continues to work hard, trying to improve things for the sake of her adorable little brothers.
Fortunately, the Grangers are able to get through winter without starving, and Patience is excited for the spring. We can feel a bit relieved now that the squabble with Princess Margaret’s friends and the kerfuffle involving Prince Keith and the knight club have both calmed down.
The focus of this volume was Patience having fun at school after her acceleration into the senior division, merrily enjoying her studies and time in the alchemy club.
The senior division is credit based, so she’s become a lot busier. Not only is Patience enrolled in both the home ec and civil service tracks, but she’s also taking alchemy and pharmacy classes. I’m a little worried that she’s biting off more than she can chew.
She’s enrolled in the home ec track because she’s Princess Margaret’s lady’s maid, but she’s too skilled, and she ends up testing out of too many classes, which is a problem for her.
In the civil service course, she works hard studying with her male classmates, and she’s made great friends in Philips and Russell.
Then there’s the mage track, which is where most of her problems are, especially when it comes to the herbology teacher. Even someone as talented as Patience struggles with her.
Despite her struggles, she’s also been able to make some money through the alchemy club, where she invented various products like hot water bottles and needle threaders.
During the previous year’s Festival of Verdure, the alchemy club’s exhibit had been quite deserted. This year, it was a huge success—they got to make ice cream, and have people test riding bicycles!
HIROKAZU’s adorable illustration of Patience and Percival dancing together at the Festival of Verdure ball is so lovely.
Percival and Albert are now suddenly getting closer to Patience. There’s also Philips, who might be a little too nice to her. Perhaps love will be in the air soon.
This summer, she’ll be in Northcourt County with her brothers. I’m sure she’ll have lots of fun swimming in the ocean with them!
I hope you continue to enjoy this story about Patience and her brothers.
