Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter: Volume 5

Private Tutor to the Duke’s Daughter (Light Novel) #5

by Riku Nanano, cura (Illustrator), William Varteresian (Translator)

After thwarting a nascent rebellion and restoring peace to the eastern capital, Allen prepares for some long-overdue rest. His students have returned to their respective homes, leaving the convalescent tutor in his family’s care...but the lazy days of summer are only the calm before the storm. Sinister forces are at work in the east, and they threaten to shake the kingdom to its very core. Shadowy conspiracy erupts into open war, separating Allen from his powerful companions and—worse yet—his trusty partner Lydia. The young sorcerer must turn to his fiercely protective sister Caren, his friend Richard, and a small band of knights in a battle for all he holds dear. But how much can so few accomplish against an army of unexpected foes wielding mysterious and devastating magic?

前回はアラン達はジェラルドにもう一回に倒しました。だが、今回にアランは大傷に付けました。そのせいで、アランは故郷で一旦休憩しつつ、ティナとリディヤはそれぞれの故郷に帰りました。で、アラン達は一週間がのんびり過ごしました。アランとカレンは一緒で祭りを楽しました。ティナとステラとエリは街で買い物行きました。リディヤとリィネは家で休憩しました。別々しても、この瞬間で彼らは各々の趣味が楽しました。永遠に、この平和が続くといいかもしりません。しかし、残念に、戦争がもう始まります。皮肉に戦場はアランの故郷です。それで、アランとリチャードは必死に敵に抑えるだが、この最後の結果はどうかな？そしたらアランの救う為に、彼の生徒と友達の企画は何ですか？最後に、この答えは運命の輪だけに知ります。

とても素晴らしいです！最初の半分はアラン達の日常です。で、作家はそれぞれのキャラの家族やメイド達は紹介しました。勿論、対話とエベントは全部面白かったです。例えば、アランとカレンの過去話があって、二人共の深い関係の理由は明かりしました。ティナとステラの買い物デートは姉妹の絆が強調です。リンスターの家のシーンで、作家は家族とメイド達の暖かい絆と関係をちゃんと見せました。各々のエベントは新鮮で楽しかったです。けど、最後の半分は大逆転がありました。戦争が始まるとき、アランは民の避難に手伝いました。それで、戦いシーンは激しいです。言葉だけのに、鮮やか戦争をはっきり想像しました。おかげで、最後の展開は感動すぎて少し涙が転びました。結果として、次の展開はとても楽しみです！

Last time, Alan and the others defeated Prince Gerald once again. However, this time, Alan suffered severe injuries. Because of that, Alan rested at his hometown while Tina and Lydia went back to their homes respectively. So, Alan and the others leisurely rested for a whole week. Alan and Karen enjoyed the festival together. Tina, Stella, and Eli went shopping in town. Lydia and Rine rested at their household. While everyone did different things, they all enjoyed their individual hobbies during this time. It really might have been for the best if the peace lasted forever. However, unfortunately, war is about to begin. And the battlefield is at Alan's hometown. As a result, Alan and Richard desperately tried to suppress their enemies, but what will happen in the end? Then, to save Alan, what will his students and friends do? In the end, only the wheel of fate knows the answers to these questions.

The book was very wonderful! The first half is their daily lives. There, the author introduced everyone's family and maids respectively. Of course, the dialogue and events were all very interesting. For example, there was a flashback of Alan and Karen's past, which made it clear why they are close together. Tina and Stella's shopping date emphasized their close sister bonds. In the Rinstar scene, it showed that the family and the maids share a warm relationship together. Each event was very unique and fun. However, it completed turned on its head with the latter half of the story. When the war began, Alan helped the citizens evacuate. There, the fight scenes were extremely fierce. Even though it was words only, I could clearly imagine the war in my head. Thanks to that, I was so moved, that I even cried a little bit. As a result, I'm really looking forward to the next development!

For those interested, I highly recommend this!

Wow

I honestly can't believe how good the cliffhanger is. This volume has so much emotion. Too many great details of the past. Allen being named after the great hero. The betrayal of one of the Four Ducal houses.

Reading the volume, I didn't care for the order of the chapters. But after finishing the book and reading the author's afterward, it probably was the best order given the overall course of the series.

The ending however was really well written I think, and worth sticking with the series up until this point. Though I am concerned that it will take a few more volumes for the author to resolve the cliffhanger ending of the volume.
