Huh....

　Sigh.

　Ever since the doctor started going to explore the labyrinth, I've been meeting him much less often. And having Fee by my side all the time doesn't sit well with me in a lot of ways. But this is an emotional issue, and I actually know how good Fee is.

　She was an alchemist who had always been touted as a genius before her teacher showed up. Of course, that fame has reached my ears.

　Alsphira Medis.

　Nowadays, she is completely hidden behind her teacher's shadow, but her ability is unmistakable. Everyone is acknowledging her excellence.

　So it's perfectly natural for Fee to follow her teacher's labyrinthine search.

　However, I still have a lot on my mind emotionally.

　So that night, I decided to talk to Saria about it.

'So, what do you think?'
You're asking me?
'Yes!　I just wanted to get a reference.
'I haven't seen too many of those two together but I could see the colour in Lady Alfira Medis' gaze, aside from Lady Elwydd Willis.
Yeah, right!　But what about a teacher being a former student...?
It's not a problem. We're colleagues now. If it was a teacher and a student, that would be a problem, but we don't have the fetters now.
Does that mean...?
I suppose that's what Lady Alice is assuming.
'Oh....'

　The spoon spills out of my hand and it lands on my desk. Saria remained calm as she said, "I'll change it to something else," but I, on the other hand, couldn't stay calm.

'Duh, what do I do!　I knew Fee was doing something, right!
'I don't know about that but one of the approaches might be.
'Saria, I don't know what to do,'
Well I don't really recommend this one.
Just tell me what you need!
It is an established fact.
A fact that has already been established?

　I know what it means itself.

　But when it comes to being aware of it, it's easy to see how my face gets heated. I feel like I've smelled a lot of things to the teacher, but the thought of it happening still makes me more embarrassed.

'As long as it's a pre-existing fact, it doesn't matter,'
Oh, really?
Yeah. Men are like that. Nothing like a woman's tears.
Okay, good...
But in Miss Alice's case, things are a little different.
What do you mean?
'It is not an outward appearance to make such an ardent approach on the part of the princess.
What do you mean?
We'll have to bury it in the outer moat.
Nah, I see.........

　After that, Saria taught me a lot of things, and I decided to take action as soon as possible.
