"Yeah!? Iris - why? It was written here, wasn't it? Best to seal it with flaming magic?"

That's right. The cage of seals at its deepest depths, as well as several formations connected there, all involve the magic of fire.

Besides, it is once a spirit sealed with the magic of fire. There must be remnants of flaming magic in his body. Its remnants to seal again...... the easiest way to hit a flaming magic on a soc that has become like a hole.

I can see that, too.

But... but...

"There are other spirits of fire (salamanders), right? I don't think Ignis has a job to do. 'Cause Ignis must be my covenant spirit, right? Contractual spirits help us for our contractors, don't they?

It's a cheating way of saying it. I'm not praised for the way you put it tied up in a contract like this. But I can't help but tell you.

This is not only because Ignis, but also because it is a word to Mr. Letterio and the head who want to help Ignis. No matter how much you say it has to do with "there's no reason Ignis has to do it" I'm saying that.

"Mm-hmm... that's all."

Ignis, bewildered, swayed his tail loosely, looked at me, and looked up at Mr. Letterio.

Maybe as Ignis, we want to explore the labyrinth together and quell this anomaly. Because he is a spirit of fire (Salamander), and he has a high pride in his power.

I want to carry on the trail of work my parents have done, I want to help you as a Spirit of Fire (Salamander), I'm sure you think so. But what you saw in my face was the intention of the contractor as the spirit of the covenant. It would be an indication of that feeling.

I know how Ignis feels. But...

"... Iris. Can't you really allow Ignis to join us?

"Yes. I would also take a hand directly already. I think it's beyond the scale of apprenticeship alchemists getting their hands on. - Right? Head."

I walked past Mr. Letterio with a hard voice and said when I saw him smiling quietly with a very similar face.

"Oh, I don't mind pulling my hand off anything. I did (...). It would only be a burden on the (...) apprenticeship of (...). The Spirit of Fire (Salamander) Ignis, please, do not worry about my brother's devotion, but serve as a covenant spirit."

The head stood up and thanked Ignis with a playful trick. A pitch-black robe made a sarcastic noise with a thin veil, and the head glanced at me with a cold eye and just left the room.

The gratitude now is perhaps a noble thing to do. I'm not sure the difference between the trick that made me want to play and that, but I felt somewhat ridiculed. Not Ignis, but me as a contractor.

Oh, I'm not being ridiculed. Maybe I'm frightened... Yeah, it's close to disappointment.

I don't think the lead alchemist was recognized by anyone on the cloud. But the head never despised me as an apprentice. I did not behave in such a way as to draw a line between public and apprenticeship.

"... and I know what my brother and Iris will say."

In the awkward air, Mr. Letterio opened his mouth.

"But... no, you do. Let's get this labyrinth over with. This is neither Iris' nor Ignis's job nor his role. I'm sorry I couldn't."

"Lek-kun ~..."

"Ignis, thank you for your cooperation so far. Iris, too, apologizes for getting into this dangerous situation. I need backup support from here."

Maybe Mr. Letterio smiles the way he always does.

But I can't say "yes" or "no" for some reason, just keep leaning down. Whether he was still called in a gentle voice as "Iris," or pommed his head to comfort Mr. Bardo, he could not somehow raise his face.

So I just expect Mr. Letterio to smile...

"Iris?"

"Iris."

Ignis and Luluz peek into my face.

Oh, I was making you both look worried.

I'm sorry. That's how I smile back. I knew it would stay down.

Because if you look up, you'll also see Mr. Letterio's face.

'Cause if you see a head-on twitch on that face... I thought I would warp your face.

At the table it was then discussed that, in conjunction with the search for a silver-haired man, an investigation would be conducted into whether there were any traces of [fascination] in the recent incident.

Then the head, who thought he had gone home, seemed to be outside, and when Leg and Rug, who noticed the noise, went to the backyard field, the head was playing with the apprentice hare. Mr. Letterio, who saw it, was frightened, "Brother, if you were still here, have one job" and asked for confirmation of the forwarding and sealing formations that should have been engraved on the gates of Venetos.

I figured if I was in the lead, I'd be able to rebuild it and draw it.

Iris, I'm sorry to bother you.

"No, um... Mr. Letterio, about Ignis..."

"Oh, never mind. I'll see you then."

"Ah, yes..."

With almost nothing to talk about, I dropped off Mr Letterio's back. In front of the closed door, for some reason, I get a small, zero sigh.

"Leh, we're going to the labyrinth soon."

"One of you went to look at the gate and said he wanted to stop by."

He sighed and looked up at me as I bowed down, Lulusu-kun and Ignis said.

"It is. White Bulbs... It would have been better to plant lots of grass early..."

"Look, Iris! You're not depressed!

"Yes, yes, Iris! Leave the labyrinth to everyone and get ready for the festival!

"That's right! The main business of Lurus is to tease the merchants! Iris' main business is also an apprentice alchemist! We have to do what we have to do first!

"Kufu - that's right! The labyrinth - when it's bigger - let's go again!"

As we rushed to prepare for the opening of the festival, today is festival day in no time. The time just rang the 7 minute bell in the morning.

I'm perfectly ready to open the store, most of my stuff is packed in a backpack I put in front of the front door, and only the jade lemonade server has me put in a fuzzy bag by Lulusu-kun. Lulusu-kun is of course perfectly prepared. We've finished breakfast, and all we have to do is inspect for forgotten items and go to the city.

Me and Lulusu-kun dropped off the store at the previous day's festival and opened it for lunch only today. One reason is that the number of available sales is not so high.

And another great reason is the sowing in the labyrinth of Mr. Letterio and the others. Having said that, I was' backward support 'as Mr Letterio said, even if I had a feeling of mourning, because I was not willing to send Ignis out to the labyrinth.

"Nevertheless... even though it's still this hour, the Reds are already moving. I've already been sent some grass for dinner."

"Oh, already?

"Lek - I thought you were hanging in there because you said you wanted to go to the festival today - huh? -? Iris ~"

"Right. But I don't know...?

It's this amount in the morning. As for last night's minute... sowing seeds don't grow up so soon. Then I still feel like it's going to be difficult to leave the labyrinth.

After that, Mr. Letterio, who had begun to sow in the labyrinth, had been caged in the labyrinth.

And me and Ignis, Lulusu-kun, we weren't supposed to participate in this labyrinth activity, but we were just helping.

They cooked and sent meals of each meal, and received the fruit of Hope Moon Grass, which grew and became red, in a [transfer flight] for processing by Leg and Russ.

In a labyrinth full of magic, the seeds of the late-night grass quickly grow into bright red moon grass and ripen. But now it's during the festival. The labyrinth expedition knights alone were undercrowded.

"Uhaha! This is also the magical fruit of flames! Have you lost a little magic vegetarian in the labyrinth?

"Ugh! Sounds like you could make a beautiful, big demon stone!

Before the pile of flowers sent via Lulusu-kun's bag, the hares were queued. Once Leg has given instructions and everyone has harvested the fruit, the rug purifies the fruit full of magic and processes it into Demon Stone.

"Thanks for having Leg and Russ!

"Right. There's not a workshop where you can process this much moon grass during the festival..."

It's easy to carry the cut flowers, but storing and processing the fruit was a problem. It's a sudden request, and it involves the confidentiality of the Labyrinth and the Knights.

"I'm surprised one of you gave me a twig - kufu"

"Really."

Yes. When Dr. Irina thought she had received a voice stool (tsugumi), the voice lord took the lead and said, "I had Irina connect me because I hadn't exchanged contact details," and asked me to do the actual processing.

Indeed, all in all, this apprenticeship workshop is convenient.

There are no problems with storage or confidentiality, and some legs and lasses are good at handling plant materials. The fruit of Hope Moon Grass is actually going to lose its magic if you don't process it quickly, and I can't overlook anything that would waste superb material, which was really good.

"The head is surprisingly noticeable. I thought there were more weird alchemists like Two again...... I knew you were Lek's brother. There's something sweet about it."

"... right"

I haven't spoken to Mr. Letterio since that day when I said I wouldn't let Ignis participate in the labyrinth exploration. Ignis doesn't seem to care anymore, but I was kind of backwards, having a strange lump in me.

Looks like Lulsus thinks the lead figured that out and gave me a job...... yeah. Maybe, I'm sure you know. Neither the head nor my allekore seemed to care about anything, even Tugumi said, "You just have to do what you can to make an apprentice".

The processing of legs and lasses is a study for me, and I am actively helping myself. It's a plain, monotonous task, but this one that doesn't compromise the magic of the fruit at all, and further elaborates and turns it into a demonic stone, has been a great training.

It's a really apprenticeship-oriented task and I know the head well......! And, the head of the impression was a (...) re (...), but I also reviewed it a bit as a mentor. I'm sorry.

"Oh, yeah, Iris."

Lulusu-kun stuck his head in the baggage for the festival, which was almost ready.

"Ah, there it is! Yes! I'll give this to Iris first!

What Lulusu-kun offered was palm-sized hair fastening with deep red demon stones and sea vitreous (sea glass).

"Wow, beautiful......!

The plants were made of demonic stones, flower buds, silver metal stems, and sea vitreous (sea glass) leaves.

Oh this will definitely go well with the essential white bulbs for the festival......!

"The hair clasp I made this time! If you insert a flower in your hair and fasten it with this, it's adorable! And then this demon stone is a demon stone made by Ignis."

"Kufu - for Iris's - I got the best demon stone to use!"

"Wow! Thank you both! Not only is this a festival, but it looks like it can be used everyday!

Looks just right for clamping my side hair.

"Iris, Iris, I want you to see the back too!

"Back side?"

I looked at the back of the pin. What's particularly unusual about it? Is the pin decomposing? Besides, do you call it a sucking touch or a petting......?

"Is this pin non-slip? Lulusu-kun, maybe?

"That's right! Iris gave it to me. [High legged spider thread] Nha! I did a little clandestine processing and attached it to the pin!

"Wow! Even Iris' hair stays in place!"

I twist my side hair gently and try to fasten it quickly with this red bud pin.

"... yeah, I'll stay right! Thank you, Lulusus!

"You're welcome! Now I can thank you for welcoming me into this workshop. Lurus, I've always wanted to make Iris hair fasteners for you."

"Ugh! Iris or Woe! There's my demon stone!"

"Phew, thanks Ignis too"

The festival's production is today - tonight at the full moon.

It is the night when the white bulb, the sojourn grass, becomes the red bulb's moon grass.

"So it's time to go"

"Yes! My arms are ringing!

"Go! Delicious!"

I hope you enjoy your first festival and opening a store.

I reach for the decorated white bulb. The white standby grass, given to me by Mr. Letterio, sucked the magic vegetables from the workshop forest and turned into a beautiful thin red.
