As he began to look through the medical records of the Order members, Brother Glass was concentrating on the same things he was doing when he was studying at the Academy, so much so that he couldn't hear the sounds around him.

　What he was doing was identifying areas of improvement in treatment for each injured person. Even with patients he doesn't see in person, Brother Glass seems to be able to find out if there are better medicines available, or if this could be used to speed up their recovery.

　When I came down with a cold, he noticed it before I did and gave me some medicine. I took it early, and when I felt my throat was a little sore, it started to heal and I didn't have to miss the academy.

　My homeroom teacher didn't give me the same guidance as the others after I signed a contract with the "Air" spirit, and I didn't really have to go to the academy every day because I had a lot of classes I couldn't attend, and my parents were insistent that I come back.

　But I couldn't go back. If I couldn't get some kind of job or role as a mage - how I would be treated in that house was determined.

'You can take a break whenever you want, Mr. Rendle, too.
Yes. Thank you for your concern.

　I'm already used to speaking in polite language like this. Normally, I felt I shouldn't, but I used to use unreserved words to my older Glass brother.

　When I first started at the academy, there was an event called Forest School where I met my brother Glass when I was in a group with the older students.

　Even as a child, I was the kind of kid who was always oblivious to my surroundings. There were times when my family would go out together and I would be the only one left behind, or I would be the only one left out of my class and the teacher wouldn't even notice.

　When I was in the forest school, I got lost in the forest because I was left behind by my classmates. The forest was getting darker and darker, and I was determined to leave the forest on my own, so I kept walking, not knowing where I was going.

　It was my brother Glass who helped me at that time. He heard that I was lost in the forest and came alone to find me, even though we were in a different group - after that, he was very angry with me, and I couldn't tell him that it was my fault, so all I could do was watch.

　I wanted to return the favor. I always wanted to ask him why he had come to my rescue.

"Huh. ...... You're right, my eyes are a little tired. Why is it that doctors like to write in letters that only they can understand?
"Mr. Glass seems to read it rather easily,
'The instructor I taught also had some pretty quirky handwriting. Well, in some cases you can only use it for a few minutes for diagnosis, so I guess the letters will be simplified so you can write faster.

　In this country where there are not many doctors, the hospitals in the capital are always overcrowded. Brother Glass will also be very busy from now on.

　Perhaps he was worried that Brother Glass was taking it too hard, but the headmaster asked me to ask him to be his brother's keeper. That was because he knew that I was friends with Brother Glass.

　But if I went out west as me - Leslie Lee Renkles - the house would grasp me. In order to prevent that from happening, the dean suggested that I disguise my identity.

　I can force Brother Glass to recognize me as a different person even if he is about to realize my identity - by interfering with the 'air' with the power of the spirit.

　Brother Glass said that 'air' would be able to do something similar to the spirit of 'wind', but if it could do that, it wouldn't be called out of place.

　Air is something that is always there, even if you can't see it, even if you don't recognize it's existence. It's very vague, but I am in contract with the spirit that dwells in such things.

　If you change the 'air' you wear, the impression others have of you will change. But if you keep doing that all the time, your magic power won't last, so I had to make Brother Glass think that "Leslie" and "Rendle" are different people, even if only in disguise.

　Every time he started to notice them, I interfered with the 'air' and changed his perception. But if he had to show his face, the degree of interference would have to be greater.

　I believed it would work, but at first I was so nervous that my voice almost rose to the top. Even my emotions were wrapped up by the 'air' spirit.

''Your stock of medicines is quite scarce. If you can't get them in a nearby town, you can request them from the central ...... or you can think about being self-sufficient in the vicinity.
Do you make your own medicine?　Then you may be too much of a burden for Mr. Glass: ......
The process itself isn't difficult if you have the right ingredients. The medicine can be a speciality, and if we can secure the area where the herbs come from, I think we can hire someone from the town to do it for us.
'I see. ...... I'll ask that ranchman to talk to you, and I'm sure the conversation will go smoothly.

　My brother Glass, who used to look cramped in the academy, is now very much alive and well.

　He is trying his best to do what he can do with his life without being depressed by the horrors of the battlefield, which I think is amazing.

　I was able to go west with Brother Glass, and at first my feet were fluffy. But that would disqualify me from being here.

　Even though my magic power is drained, I will continue to use magic to change the 'air' from now on. The name of my great-grandfather, who was named on the spur of the moment, will be the very person called 'Rendor'.

　But the truth is, as "Leslie", I would like to see the letter that my brother Glass entrusted to me. I know that I should never do that.

'...... hmm?　This is ......

　In the medical records, there is a small piece of paper attached to a different color of cover. There was this written on it.

'Captain Raquel had consulted her former doctor for a long time. It would be difficult for her to request a consultation with her replacement, Dr. Glass. However, I would appreciate it if you would at least take a look at the medical records, Katie.

　Katie asked Brother Glass to look at the medical records for Raquel's concern - even though she said that the executive's medical records could not be seen without his consent.

　Maybe that's how bad Raquel's physical condition is. Brother Glass looked at him, wondering what to do, and he seemed lost, but he didn't open the records.

'I understand how you feel, Katie, but it's going to be hard to build trust with you if you see this. So I can't see it now. We've got to get a chance to hear it up front first.
'Captain Raquel and I will be meeting tomorrow morning, so there will be a chance to talk to her.
'Right. Now ...... let's turn the rest of it into the night and take a break. Mr. Lendl needs a break too.
'I'll stay up until dinner time. I have a few things to write about.
Yeah, okay.

　Brother Glass walks into his bedroom. When I see the door closed, I approach the small mirror that hangs on the living room wall.

　Brother Glass sees me as a man - but when he looks in the mirror, he sees my true self.

　I have to keep playing the part for a long time to come. I'm a completely different person than Leslie, who he only sees as his sister, the 'secretary Lendl'.
