　She is married to Kiku, but is only in her mid-teens.

　From among the students of the Barka School, Karen and Kiku have chosen to take their subordinates with them.

　Since Karen herself was a student at the school, there must be some people who are familiar with each other.

　The choice of who to take with them was basically left up to them.

　However, a group of students who had only studied at the school might not be able to handle the practical work.

　Therefore, we decided to bring along with us a person who could actually take charge of the practical work.

　At first, however, they did not want to go to Peria.

　They said it was because they did not want to leave Ai's side.

　Originally, they were just working in such an abnormal way voluntarily.

　But I think they like Ai more than they like their jobs.

　Well, I can understand that a little.

　Ai has an intense workload, but he is not unreasonably angry with others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've seen this happen from time to time when he works for other members of the Orient Council.

　Also, Ai is a good employer and supervisor for them, because he does not care about the things that have nothing to do with their work, such as their origins and human qualities, and evaluates them only on the basis of the results of their work.

　This is why they did not want to leave Ai's side.

　However, in the end, they accepted to go to Peria.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why is that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason is simple.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because Ai was going with them to Peria.

　Ai is the servant of God who moves with the spirit stone at his core.

　As a means of explaining this, the Ai are supposed to be able to use a kind of "alter ego" as a kind of non-magical magic of their own.

　Well, it is only made to look like that, but it is recognized as Ai's ability by those who know her.
