When Erna saw the warded dormitory and me, she had some doubts.
　But for the time being, we decided to take a tour of the campus.

　As Erna moved, the onlookers moved with her.
　I decided to join the onlookers and observe Erna.

She looks much the same as she did when I was a child. I feel nostalgic.

　Erna and the headmistress were walking next to each other and exchanging such a conversation.

　There was also an old man following behind her.
　He was probably one of Erna's followers or something.
　I can feel the magic ......, it's not much, but he seems to be a wizard.

　Then, for a while, Erna went around the campus, chatting happily with the headmaster.

I'm sure you've heard of it. I heard that you were going to donate your work for the school festival. ......

　The headmaster said, "I can't resist.

Yes, that's right.
I don't mean to be rude, but what can I get? I'm a fan of yours. I'm very excited.

　The school principal's words were met with an earful from the onlookers.

　You may want to simply have some fun ......, but in the first place, Erna did not come to this school for sightseeing.
　Her main purpose is to present her work at the school festival.
　It's no wonder the principal is itching to see her.

　Everyone's attention is drawn more and more to Erna.
　Erna opened her petal-like mouth and said

"I'm thinking of putting up a statue...
"Yes. "Yes. I've been working on it a bit for this occasion.
Oh, that's exciting. I can't wait to see it.
I'll show you.
What?
Sebas.

　Erna called out to the old man who was following her.
　Then the old man called Sebas stepped in front of Erna and raised his hand.
　A spell is cast on a nearby wall.

　Then a rough image of a statue appeared on the wall.

This is the statue I'm going to donate to the festival.

　Erna seemed a little smug.
　Well, it looks like they used some kind of image reproduction magic to project it on the wall.

Wow, it's beautiful.
"Yes, it is.

　Lara, who had come with me, looked at the statue with sparkling eyes.

　It's quite a magnificent thing.
　It seems to be a statue made in the image of the god of beauty, Lazevara.
　It's a pity that the image is very rough, perhaps because the magic is not accurate enough. ...... But even so, I could see that the statue was made in great detail.

It's a shame that the images are so rough. I'm not sure what to say.

　Sebas asks Erna, out of breath.

"Yes. I'm sorry, Sebastien. That's enough.

　With that, Sebastien stops his magic.
　The image of the statue disappears.
　The spell will only work for about ten seconds at most.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　I'm not sure if it's safe for me to be the valet for Erna, who seems to be quite famous, if that's what it takes.

　I'm sure you'll agree.


I'm not sure what to make of that.　I can't believe there's a magic that can replay those images!
I can't believe there's a spell that can replay images like that!　And the images are rougher than Kurt's.
Idiot. He's different. You can't compare him.
Yeah, that's right.


　I just saw the footage.
　The onlookers seemed to be more concerned about the magic that Sebas used than the statue.
　You are a student of the Academy of Magic, after all. I guess I'm a wizard.
　It seemed inevitable that they would be more interested in magic than art.

"Mm.

　You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

I heard the name Kurt ......, is that the person who put the wards on the dormitory?

　And Erna seemed to be intrigued as well.
　She asked the headmaster.

Yes.
A spell that can store and replay images from a distance would take a very skilled person to cast.
That's true.
That's why we have Sebas as our bodyguard and valet. ...... What kind of student is Kurt, who can do even more magic than that?　I think it's time to say hello.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.


　He's been looking at me for a while now.

　...... It's troublesome.
　I'm not going to ignore you after what you've said.


　I left the crowd and stood in front of Erna.


"Are you Kurt?
I'm pretty sure you are.

　I just replied in a normal way, but suddenly Sebastien changed his mind.

"How dare you speak to Erna!　"How dare you speak to Erna-sama! Can't a student at the Academy even use honorifics?

　How dare you speak to Erna!
　But Erna stopped him with her hand.

'I'm fine, Sebas. It's easier for me to talk to you here.
"But ......
It's fine.

　Sebas seemed to have something more to say, but if Erna, his master, said so, he had no choice.
　He took a step backwards, but his frustration deepened.

You seem to be an amazing wizard.
"............

　I'm not sure if Erna took my silence as an affirmation, but she had a happy expression on her face.

"Then may I try one thing on ......?
"Try?
"Yes. Can you show me some magic?　I'm getting very interested in you.

　Oh, boy.
　I'm not in the mood today.

　But she's come all this way too.
　You can't just ignore her.

Then, ......, I'll use magic to build a small model.
Is that possible?
Yes, if you have the materials. You showed me a wonderful statue. I would like to return the favor.

　I wanted to return the compliment.

Thank you. But ...... it will take a long time to build it, won't it?　I'm in trouble. The next time I can come here is the day of the festival. ......

　Erna put her hand on her cheek and made a troubled face.
　But what are you talking about?
　You don't have to take so long.

"Don't worry about it.

　I turned my back to her and continued.

"It won't take long.

　The problem was the ingredients.

　The problem was the materials, so I used transference magic to dive deep into the Treasure Labyrinth and collect the orichalcum.
　It would only take about ten minutes to get here.

Let's go!

　Pour magic into the round lump of orichalcum.
　The orichalcone immediately changed its shape to that of water.

What do you mean?　What do you mean? Orichalcon is like water. ......
Orichalcon is naturally a soft material. This much is easy.
"Orichalcone is ...... soft?

　In no time at all, the orichalcone was modified by magic to form a magic school.
　A miniature Magic Academy the size of the palm of your hand.

You should see it.

　I hand it to Erna.

"Huh!　It's no big deal, of course!

　I'm sure it's not that big of a deal!" Sebas interjected from the side.

"I doubt it's an orichalcon in the first place. It's probably just a fake. There's no way it can be processed that easily!　And it's childish. How could you show it to the world's greatest sculptor, Erna-sama?

　Apparently, Sebas has a problem with the miniature model I made.

"Master Erna, you're wasting your time. It's time to go home.
"Sebas. Can't you see the beauty of this statue?
What?

　Erna looked at the miniature intently and continued.

"It's so detailed, ......!　Even with my own eyes, I can't make out the entirety of this model (miniature). Not only the exterior, but also every single room has been built to perfection. If this were to be shown to the world, it would be a tremendous revolution in the art world. ......!

　Without even making eye contact with Sebas, Erna seemed to be excited.



No, of course not. ......
"Sebas, do you have a problem with my appraisal eye?　If you continue to be rude to me, I will have to consider how I treat you in the future.
"Oh, ......

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

　It seems that Erna can use appraisal magic.
　This is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your investment.

And ...... there is no doubt that this is an orichalcon. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will work for you.

　At this point, Erna looked up and locked eyes with me.
　She stared at me with sparkling eyes.
　The reason why it was so easy to do is because the orichalcone is soft ......, but even if I explained that to her, she wouldn't understand.
　I'm not sure how to explain it.

"This is normal.

　When I said this, voices like "How can it be normal?" and "Your normal is not everyone's normal" came up one by one from around me.
