87 - a steady stream of visitors








 Professor Belkam left.

 All that was left was me and Iris, who was quietly doing some tricky calculations. I was just about ready to go back to my room and watch some cartoons.



 And then a little person comes fluttering in.



"Hey, mommy's little look-alike, where's mommy?"



 A brown-skinned girl with white hair and red eyes asked me.

 Strangely enough, this girl is able to recognize me, her copy, and my body as two different people. What's even stranger is that she calls the main body of the man <, but that's about it.



"Don't call me < in front of Mel and the others, okay?"



"Well, what should I call you?"



"...... Mama C?"



"Mommy C, where's Mommy?"



 You're a good, honest girl. I can't help but feel that you're not very deceptive, but whatever.



 Iris's hand, which had been running the pen with all her might, has stopped.

 But then his pen starts to move again.

 He seems to have a desire to pursue the matter, but he seems to think that the reason he is not informed is because he is not qualified to do so.

 I mean, he doesn't really know what he's telling them and what he's not telling them.



 Well, it's only a matter of time before Charu brings him to the <>, and when he does, I'm sure we'll find out a lot of things, won't we? Good luck.



"My mom would be at the shut-in house."



 I pulled Meru into my room and opened the simple transfer spellbook on the wall.



"Thank you."



 Mel-chan gave me an adorable smile and disappeared through the door.

 Good, now I don't have to babysit. I lay down on my bed to watch some cartoons this time, only to find another visitor.



"Hey Mr. Semphis, how are your muscles?



 A muscular old man in a tank top. I think he was the instructor in charge of the physical training class.

 He comes again to the conference room where Iris is and answers.



"What do you want from me?"



"You're obviously upset. Are you all right? Are you doing your strength training properly?"



 I'm not a physical person, not a brainy person, but I don't like to move my body anyway.



I came here today to ask you for a favor.



 I almost said, "Please leave," but swallowed as hard as I could. He kept his face expressionless as if he was in a wise man's mode.



"You know, that body technique you showed me in class before. Charlotte Semphis, you showed something similar, could you tell us more about it?



"Huh?"



 I heard a strange voice. I don't know what that means.



"Your body art seems to be quite special. I'd like to incorporate it into my classes. That's right."



 The tank-top instructor peeked out, showing off his muscles, and then bowed his head. Is that how you ask someone for something?



 I mean, the body technique I (or the main body) was using was nothing special. I got it from a cartoon ....... Oh, this is a special one.

 But I couldn't tell you honestly and I couldn't teach you because it was just an imitation.



"I'm sorry, but it's been in the Zenfis family for generations, so I can't just tell you--"



"Hmm? Char has taught me a lot of things, you know? You were around at one time, but you didn't see it as a problem, did you?"



 Iris, who was quietly solving a math problem, interrupted our conversation.



"Why are you staring at me? Did I say something funny?"



 Yeah, that was unnecessary. Oh, for God's sake.

 So I'm going to use you again.



"Sir, Iris has been given everything. She'll explain it to you."



"What, why would I go to ......?"



"Of course there's a reward, right?



 I said with a burst of energy, and Dr. Tank-top's white teeth flashed.



"Of course I do. I'm going to get a lot of money from the dean since I'm going to use it in my classes eventually.



"So, Iris. You'll do it, won't you?



"I don't know if I'm the right person for the job. I think you or Char would be more appropriate. ......"



"We're both busy. That's fine. You said you'd pay me for my part-time job.



"I'm glad you're doing this, but I'm afraid you're going to miss out on my training if you keep working two jobs at once.



 What kind of a man would persist at this point in his life?



"Teaching is also a way of learning."



 I told him something like that, and he said, "I see.

 And so I got through another difficult situation.








"Is Hurt there? Hey, I was wondering if you could tell me how to remotely control the magic..."

"Is Mr. Hurt there? I'd like to talk a little bit about magical theory.



 Lias and Marianne show up.

 On the contrary, teachers, students, and even people I've never talked to before kept coming up to me to ask me to teach them.



 What the hell is going on?

 Once I left them behind--.







 I was relaxing at the house when Hurt C., my copy, came in and was very angry.



"So that's how it is. You've got to do something about it."



 I heard that various people came to visit me constantly, asking for favors and advice.



"How did this happen?"



 That's never happened before, has it?



"It seems like Char is praising me all over the place, you know?"



 What a nice, big brotherly girl you are ...... to lift him up when I'm not around!

 So, I can't say anything too strong. I should give him a gentle warning. It may be too late for that.



"I guess I'll have to go out there. You'll take care of him, then?"



 Beside me, there was Mel-chan, who was quietly working on her Japanese study book (which I had made).



"What are you making her do?"



"He wants to watch anime, but he doesn't understand the language."



"You ...... are going to drag a young child into the swamp again?"



 It's good to have more comrades in arms.



 So I went back to school, even though it was very troublesome.

 But I have no idea what I'm going to do. Well, I'll figure it out. I can get Professor Tia involved if I want. I mean, let's do that. That's how it's going to be!
