After changing into a dainty maid's outfit, Lynne stood idle in her work. I want to help, but I don't know what to do.
　You'll be able to find out more about the best way to get the most out of your new job.

　In this room, Loki has taken charge of all the household chores as a maid, so there was nothing for Lynne to do.

　Still, that didn't mean there was nothing to do at all. Glancing at Loki, who was putting away the equipment with a sideways glance, Rinne held down her aching body.
　It's partly because I'm sorry, but if anything, housekeeping is something I like to do before I'm good at it. This maid's outfit is also made with this nature of Linne's character in mind.

　However, right now, it was impossible to neglect the two beautiful, curious girls in front of me.

''Linne-san........''
Yes? Mr. Tesfia?

　The faintly reddened cheeks are probably because Tesfia is an only child. She yearns for an existence like an older sister or a younger sister. Felinella also has a sisterly vibe, but because of her position as a nobleman, she can't feel like a real sister.

''Can you show me your magic eye?''
Yes, that's fine.
Oh, can I come with you?
Yes, go ahead.

　After saying that, they looked into Linne's eyes. The magic formula that emerged thinly was flowing to color her eyes.
　The word "beautiful" suddenly leaked out. Her eyes were beautiful like a jewel, and yet clear.

''Come to think of it, I've seen my own demon eyes sometimes, but I've never seen any other demon eyes. Besides, I'd like to see the [Lacquer Eye of Eesefolue] that was said to harbor death once.......so, Ars-sama.

　I had expected it based on the flow of the story, but I didn't expect the sparks of fire to fly. At any rate, the characteristics of Ars's eyes as a demon's eyes appear when he begins to be aware of control. In normal times, it's a normal eye........

''What do you mean by inhabiting death?''

　It's an abrupt question, but Alice said, "You mean he's dead? And so on, with the holder in front of me, I ask. Of course, it's too sloppy a question, since the holder, Ars, is there.

　A little bit of a troubled expression appeared on Rinne's face. It wasn't sure how far it should be taught about the magic eye, but in the end, she begins to open her mouth without difficulty because of the level of lore.

'I don't mean to scare you, but the demon eyes are all said and done. It's not just that the cause of this is unknown since ancient times, and it was feared as a curse, a haunting, a divine punishment or a disease. Among them, the demon's eye, which is called the "death-infested" eye of Yisefolue, was named because it dies instantly when the eye is opened.

　In fact, there's a simpler reason.

''Well, it's because of the enormous amount of magic power consumed during eye opening. There are probably close to a hundred people who have had their eyes opened by the magic eye so far. Among them, those who were able to control it like Linne-san, as far as I know, were able to do so with just one hand, or perhaps it's more accurate to say that they survived. If they could handle it indiscriminately, there must be even fewer of them.

　It's a number that's not in the realm of speculation, but Ars thinks that maybe there are more of them. This is because a magic eye is something that can only be confirmed to exist after it has appeared. And moreover, the eye openers need to continue to endure the outburst.

　The two of them just listened in silence about this. They didn't know what to say.
　Still--'

''Was it hard for you too, Linne-san?''

　With a bloodied look on her face, Tesfia asked absently. Something that even Ars shouldn't be touched upon and hadn't even been brought up before.

　But Tesfia's question only surprised Lynne. She didn't really like to be bothered, but that doesn't mean she would argue with those who would ask her unreservedly.
　However, the woman in front of her turned a painful face to Linne, despite the fact that it was a stranger.

　Showing a slightly fragile smile, Linne opened her mouth to say, ''That's right.

''In my case, I was restrained at times, but perhaps it was for the better. Otherwise, I would have definitely crushed both eyes by myself.

　It's probably a good thing that there were coincidental signs of the appearance of the demon eye. It was an abduction and confinement in the name of protection. As a test subject of a forced human experiment, he was confined to an isolation facility until the time the demon eye opened.
　If they didn't squash their eyes, their magic power would be eaten away and they would die. If they didn't, they would be eaten by magic and die. With only those two options, Rinne was forced to not be able to close his eyes, and he continued to endure the crazy waves of the eye opening period.

　Even though she was dying, Linne had survived. Maybe she was lucky.
　The Demon Eye had been able to adapt and control Linne's body just before it sucked out all the magic power.

　However, it was also as good as a cripple.
　The days of sorting through himself, the vast amount of visual information rattling his brain at a dizzying pace, continued. I got used to it - maybe even paralyzed - when two years had passed since I opened my eyes.
　Using the demonic eye and escaping, and later meeting Cicernia, she was able to change a lot.


''But if you think of the present, it's worth the effort.

　An innocent smile directed at such a young girl.
　And to get back to the story, Linneh pulled Ars's hand back, "So, let me see," she said.

　Ars was forced to sit down halfway, and the three of them looked into his eyes, just as they had done to Lynne earlier.
　''There's nothing to it,'' he insisted, ''but there's no way they'll listen to him.

''We don't have a magic formula like Linne-san...''
Well. Maybe it's a bit of a shame...
Hey!

　After being treated like a spectacle, Ars protests with a resigned and vulnerable protest that he won't be listened to when he says "I told you so". They wouldn't be satisfied if it wasn't more than they were expecting, but they would be terribly disappointed and rude when it was less than they expected.

　How is it that despite the fact that their eyes are nondescript, they keep peering into each other's eyes as if they were buoyed by the heat.......

''But maybe it's because you have that much control over it,'' Linne finished in a follow up.

　It's not certain if the magic formula actually floats in Ars's eyes as well. It's because his own senses are eroding like a haze at the edges of his eyes.

　After managing to escape from the predicament, Ars managed to distance himself from Loki to seek refuge.

''Thank you for your efforts. It's a singular power, after all.''
Maybe so but it's exhausting.

　A bitter smile directed at Ars, as if waiting for him.
　Loki didn't stop him because Ars had been hesitant so far to enter such a circle. Surprisingly, Loki thought that he had seen some good things.
　It's a good idea to think about what to do afterwards and make sure you have something to drink.


　After that, Tesfia and Alice asked Rinne all sorts of questions without regard to training.
　It's a good idea to have a good time with them. You can't say that they get along with each other immediately or that they don't have any reservations, but in any case, for the first time they met, they seemed to open up to each other.

　Maybe that's why I dare not interrupt him about training. I suppose training and study are not the only things we learn. Sometimes it should be okay to have knowledge that is given to you by others.
　It's not that Ars didn't learn everything by himself.

　It is good to know how to be a magician in the first place with Ars, and on the inside there is a head of state who is the head of the inside, and his entourage, so what you get from her is also a necessary experience.
　That's why magic has color. It's not a lineage color, but it colors life itself.


　Suddenly, Ars saw the equipment that Loki had forgotten to put away. It's the kind of inspection equipment that is originally located in the back of the room and is not used that often.
　Loki followed Ars's gaze and asked for help with the equipment.

'Al, that equipment over there is a bit heavy, can you help me with it, just after I take a break?
'Oh, I see. I'll take care of it, don't worry about it...

　Putting his cup down and standing up, Ars was just before pushing the trolley under the equipment, and he visited as he remembered.

You can use this to check your health status and so on. You can use this to check some of the items in this inspection, just in case your health condition and so on, but what do you want to do?

　It was like a physical examination, and since they had already taken blood, there was no need to go through the trouble of retesting. It was only a suggestion if you want to be sure of everything.

''Master Ars, what is that all about?''
"Just a quick test do you guys want to do a little research?

　It's really a hassle-free test. There's no need to change clothes, but is there any timing?

　Tesfia and Alice, who are suddenly talked about, begin to confirm each other's intentions, "What shall we do?
　Probably hesitating to the extent that if one of them says they'll do it, they'll go along with it.

　Ars says, "Around here, as I recall," and pulls out a container attached to the side of the equipment and holds it out in front of the three of them.

'Just serve it to this one,'
""Yes?"

　What was presented to them was a paper cup with memory lines on the inside.
　Immediately after being told to take it out, the three of them reacted with a grand twitching of the cheeks. And as you look at them, their faces, which were turning bright red, revealed their quiet anger.

You're not going to........you're not going to!

　It was Tesfia who initiated the rage. Redder than her own hair color and wannabe wannabes and an unspoken rage is internalized in her expression.

''Well, yeah, I know what the test is about. But it's a boy in my class, even though I say that there. As expected.........

　Alice looks away from her gaze as she fidgets and makes a lightly clenched fist on her knee.

''Lady Ars, as expected, I will refuse to do that.

　I'm not going to be the only one. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them, but it's also a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

I'm not going to be able to tell you much about it," he said. I don't like to say this, but that's not normally allowed in front of a woman. I know it's moral........I know it's right, and I know you don't have any ulterior motives, but these are girls of my age, myself included. Please be more mindful ... and find another way. Give it all you've got.

　Linne's cheeks, which give off a somewhat sisterly vibe even when she's preaching, still had a bit of a blush to them. Although I wouldn't want to say it if I could, but perhaps I still felt a kind of responsibility that I couldn't help but say.
　Regardless of rank or position, for some reason Linne felt uneasy about Ars's life at the academy.

''Well, that's true too. Blood collection is more reliable, and........''

　Now, from the awkwardness of not being able to say it was a joke, Ars tries to present a retreat route of escape.
　In modern medicine, blood tests are more reliable than the examination of excrement, and even more so if you analyze every bit of magical information.

　With this, the bomb that he had so carelessly released seemed to have sunk down.......for the moment.

''Hmph. It's as sloppy as it gets. It's less than second-rate to not even be able to take care of your health.

　With a rustle, he plucked the paper cup out of Ars's hand and Loki placed it slowly to the middle of it, right underneath both feet.

　--Here was a rivalry!

　I'm not sure if it was against the natural that Rinne showed during the palpation earlier.

　In front of all of them, Loki slowly bends her hips and bends forward slightly, enduring her shame. Her pulling and trembling hands were inserted into her skirt, and it was obvious just by the movement of her hands that she had let something down a bit.

'Chow-wow!!!!'
'Loki-san. What are you doing?!

　Tesfia let out a strange cry and was the first to hold Loki's arms down as hard as she could.
　Rinne then rang the bell for the start of sermon time to correct the mistake of what Loki was trying to do in a startled voice.

'What are you doing!　I can do this much. I'll show you how to do it!

　And Alice was the first to rush to Ars's side and hurriedly blocked her vision with her body and held her ears with both hands.
''Don't look, don't even listen.


　He looked at the two people who were desperately trying to stop Loki's strange behavior behind him, only to look at their faces and see what was going on, but after a while, he managed to avoid the incident.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good look at Alice's face at close range, as if you were being hugged, with a great sigh.

''Do you want me to draw blood from them all once?''

　He mouthed that with a twitch of his eyebrows in response.
