"Oh, have you done your research yet?

　What appeared in the empty hypocenter was a cool-faced Seretia and Phiel.
　The two of them, who did not seem to have fought or even lost a breath, approached me with contrasting expressions.

　Celestia has a satisfied look on her face, and next to her, Pheuel is looking at me with a worried expression.

"Are you two okay?

"What are you talking about?　What do you mean? Did something happen at the Royal Archives?

　I point to the hole in front of me, since we're not on speaking terms.

"I'm sorry. It was, well, an accident during a magic training session," Pheuel said, bowing his head.

　The accident ...... was unusual for Phiel.
　I'll put it back on now.

I'll put it back together right now," she said, immediately activating wind and water magic.

　The holes are quickly filled in, and the trees are gradually regaining their vitality as their self-healing powers are enhanced.
　It's not completely back to normal, and the landscape looks a little different from the surrounding area, but you'll have to watch closely to see that.

Even a wizard like Fiehl can make mistakes," I said, trying to be polite.

"What are you talking about, I did this.

　I'm not going to let you get away with this.
　Fiel also nodded while using his magic, affirming Celestia's statement.
　But I couldn't believe it.

"Isn't this second level magic?

　I pretended to be ignorant and asked, but this is definitely a second grade magic, and a very powerful one at that. If you want to recreate it to this level, you need a very precise magic power.

I'm sure it takes a lot of magic and a lot of willpower.

It's okay to praise. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I don't believe in compliments.

............

　Celestia puffed her cheeks and turned away.
　I knew I could get to second grade magic, but it was too soon.
　In my mind, she's still a clunky princess. .......

"Isn't it bad for your health to use big magic when you're not used to it?

I'm fine. Walth, who can't use magic, won't understand.

　What can I do to grow so fast? ...... Too much rapid change doesn't produce good results. My heart is in my throat, and I'm not going back.

"Let us leave for now. The guards will be here soon, and if they see us, it will be difficult to move.

"Right.

　As if to break the unpleasant atmosphere, Neya suggested.


　　　　　　　I'll be back.

　In the event that you have any questions regarding where by and how to use it, please do not hesitate to contact us.
　I wanted to try out an improved version of the reanimation spell after a long time, but I decided that it would be safer to keep it under wraps for the time being, as I didn't want to cause any unnecessary problems.

　After confirming that the lights in Celestia and the others' room had gone out, I widened my magic detection, and after a while, one of the people approaching us was caught in a net.
　It was the time of day when few rooms were lit, and anyone approaching a carriage in the dark would be a bad person.
　I had no choice but to turn off the lights and concentrate on finding out what the man was up to.

Mr. Walls, are you there? ......

I'm not impressed with ....... This is not a time for girls to be out and about.

　I recognized Feele's voice immediately.
　The fact that he came all the way out here at this hour suggests that he has something going on, but I don't feel very good about it.

I'm sorry, but I need to talk to you.

Can't it be during the day?

It's about Master Celetia's magic.

Without Fiehl, it will be a problem when you two wake up.

　We've started off with the idea that we don't know each other, but this could lead to suspicion of a different relationship.

I put a spell on them to make them sleep. I've put up a first-class ward around the room, so I think they'll be fine for a short time.

　That's very thoughtful.
　I guess that's why it's so urgent. .......

---- Okay, let's change places.



　The port is unobstructed by starlight, and there is enough light to see the figure.
　There are no people in sight at this time of night, and walking alone with the sound of the waves crashing, you almost feel like you've gone back in time.

I also have a question about Celestia, I want to know the reason why her magic has grown so fast.

"That's the thing. Master Celestia is a kind of genius.

A genius?　She could handle the four attributes, but she couldn't even control them.

Clunker? ...... I think that's a problem for Her Highness.

　It's not that I'm angry or making fun of you, I'm just admonishing you.

...... Sorry. Pretend you didn't hear that.

　I'm not sure if I'm being honest, but that's how different my opinion of you is.
　It's true that you're a genius as far as your growth is concerned.

You're going to tell me what this is all about, aren't you?

I've heard that the genius wizard, His Highness Ars, had a teacher named Lilium Helianthus.

"......, so I've heard.

　It's a good thing that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.
　But he was relieved that Pheuel could not see him in the starlight.



　Lilium Helianthus, my mentor, former head of the Magical Order, and the woman of my dreams. And like me, he is a man whose body was corrupted by the power of magic and witchcraft, and whose life I could not save even with my power.

I have a mentor. I have an elf mentor, Keith Crowell. And my human mentor is Master Ars. But ---- Master Celetia has no mentor.

"No?

No? It seems that Master Ceretia taught herself the four attributes of magic. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.

　I was surrounded by high-ranking mages from the time I was born, and it was because of Lilium Helianthus, who was said to be the best of all time, that I was able to draw out the maximum of my power.
　That's how important a teacher is to me.

　The fact that I was able to reach the four attributes of magic without having a teacher is, in a sense, genius.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

　I stopped, muttering the name.
　The Celestia of today is like a fish out of water, absorbing all the senses and skills from Fiel as if the dry earth were absorbing water.
　But listening to her, I found out the reason why my heart was aching.
