I was on my way to the academy's laboratory.

　Since the commotion, the academy also had to rebuild, but that was already almost over. I also made a lot of efforts, and the academy was about to start soon.

　I've been heading to the labyrinth until now, so I haven't been able to do that many classes, but from now on I'm going to be in the kingdom for a while.

　Therefore, I need to make preparations in advance, so this is why I came alone like this.

''...?　Are you free?

　For some reason, the lock that was supposed to be closed was unlocked, so I wondered why I went inside and found Fee there. And he was rolling around in a way that showed us his underwear.

'I heard you were going first, but was your goal to show me your underwear in my lab?
No, of course not!　I just came to get a book that Elle's lab had lent me!　So it's a little high up, and I tried to get it taller and taller, but I fell down...

　Fee quickly regained her position and stared at me.

''By the way, Elle, you've only been looking at my embarrassing appearance lately...''
'No, as far as I'm concerned, I'm just stumbling upon the scene on my own.
Well, it's a little late for that now. So, give me that book back.
Oh. An overview of alchemy, as I recall?
Yeah, yeah.

　I take the book to the top of the shelf and hand it to Fee.

'I'm going to go. You can come home with me today. I need to pick up some groceries and stuff.
Okay.

　Fee said that and left the place briskly.

　

Hmm. Let's do some light cleaning first.

　What is it about human beings that makes us want to clean up when we know exactly what needs to be done? We know exactly what needs to be done, but we feel the urge to clean only at such times.

　I feel that this is now a part of human nature.

　And I clean the room, which is a bit cluttered. In particular, the bookshelves are cluttered with books shoved vertically and horizontally, so I organize them. In the process, a book falls out.

'Oops ... that's dangerous.'

　The book I accepted. It was a textbook I had studied in my school days.

　Oh well. I wondered inwardly if I had even plugged this stuff in. To be honest, I already have this level of knowledge in my head. Even at that time as a student, I remembered all the contents of the textbook only by reading it once.

　But I don't know why. After graduating and working as a teacher at this academy, I felt somewhat attached to this as well.

''Oops we need to do a quick cleaning first.

　With a bit of reminiscing about the past, I would work on cleaning up first.
