Yeah, speaking of which, where's Ignis?
When I glanced at the window, the sky over the thin curtain seemed to be stained with cedar. Maybe my manifestation has been solved because I fell asleep deep and long?
I look for pillows in a softening mood while Dr. Penelope holds me tight. I thought you were still asleep, but that doesn't look like it in the bed dedicated to Ignis.
"Um, Doctor, the Ignis..."
"Oh. Yes, I did."
The teacher blushed just a little and let loose the arm he was holding me in, slowly getting me up.
"Ah, Mr. Letterio......!
I had an eye for Mr. Letterio, who was smiling bitterly behind the teacher.
"Morning, Iris.... I'm so glad I woke up"
"Mr. Letterio too......! Oh, is the injury okay?
Blurry, but I remember Mr. Letterio being kicked in the ass.
"Yeah. It's okay."
I was horrified by the reply. Sure, my clothes are dirty, but it doesn't look like I'm getting any major injuries.
But - and I looked around the room again. After all, I don't see Ignis or Lulusu-kun.
"Iris, he worked with me to wake you up, too. Absolutely, Clemente's brother. Even though I'm not in the mood yet, I don't know..."
Speaking of which, I think Kupido said 'Keeper...' in his dream. That breeze was Mr. Letterio. So, is that Mr. Penelope? I thought maybe Leg and Russ...
"Doctor, you know, what about Ignis...? Then Lulusu-kun, Leg and Russ, and then..."
"Iris, calm down. We're all safe. Ignis and Lulsus are in the city. Leg and Russ are going to the forest guardian tree to wake you up. I'm sure he'll be back here soon."
"Good... we're all safe... Oh, yeah, I just talked to Kupido a lot while I was asleep! Why flames can be used and so much more......!
"Talk to Kupido? Whatever -"
"Wait, Iris. Let's leave that story to everyone. Before that, are you feeling all right? You have to see if the effects of [charm] or [hypnosis] are really missing! Stay in bed a little longer! I'm going to take my measurements now... oh, you just keep your eyes on me."
The teacher stopped me and I stayed in bed, and Mr. Letterio turned his gaze towards the wall as instructed by the teacher.
"Grab this stone. Then a little rude on the collar..."
It was a great transparent demon stone that was given to the teacher. And the teacher wore strange gloves and put a hand on my neck muscle.
"... hmm? The demon stone is hot..."
"Shut up................ You're back (...) often (...). Totally... open your hands."
When they said that and opened their hands, the transparent demon stone they were gripping in was stained with cloudy red and golden.
"Wow."
"Ha. You still don't seem to have fallen out of the [charm] or [sleep] hung by that spiritual named Kupido. This demon stone is capable of measuring the affected magic vegetables… so much so that it can be said that they are 'fascinated'."
I felt my body tremble for a moment at the words' fascinated '. Is it because Kupido missed us once...... completely confident he will get me?
"Huh. If this has happened, I can't help it. Do everything in your power to stop that spiritual plot. Oh, that's enough for both of us, we're done measuring."
The teacher slapped the bread and hands, and my eyes and those of Mr. Letterio met. Mr. Letterio has a sinister look to say something, but he remains silent about whether he is reluctant to talk to his teacher.
And me too...... speaking of which, I recall that Mr. Letterio and I were awkward and intact during the discussion a few days ago.
I was in that condition in the festival square, so I forgot about that and treated it normally...
I knew it would be awkward if I remembered.
Besides, he said that I was' fascinated 'and that Mr. Letterio's late return from the labyrinth might be due to my refusal to perform Ignis' activities in the labyrinth... yeah, it wouldn't have any impact.
If you look at the flaming power of that kupid and the demonic stones of Ignis that were able to counter it, it is historic.
……
……
As we were silent, Dr. Penelope sighed in a small way.
"The time I can lend a hand is limited. Well... what shall we start with? First of all, is Iris going to take a bath?
"Oh, really, I smell burnt...?
It's also natural to be dirty because you were on your knees on the ground or in the flames burning. It sounds like you wiped it easy, but I can't help but smell it. You have to wash all the sheets!
"Ah. Um, speaking of which, why is Dr. Penelope here...?
"Oh, that's because Irina saw (...) the anomaly at the Alchemist Institute after you fell asleep."
"What? Dr. Irina...?
"Yeah.... Iris, do you know what day it is?
"Huh? Is it today...? Uh...?
What else would have happened at the festival? I took a chilling look at the calendar on my desk but didn't write anything in particular.
Looking at me twisting my neck, Dr. Penelope continued his words with a small smile as he was a little surprised.
"It's alchemist promotion day. Just when Irina detected the anomaly, she was on her way to the party after the ceremony."
"Oh! Oh well......!
I see! I thought something was wrong, but was it a promotion ceremony? I completely forgot about the festival and the labyrinth. It's also natural that you haven't written anything on your calendar. 'Cause it's a little complicated day for me.
If I had passed the exam, it would have been a memorable day for one.
... Shit. You haven't even given the two of your contemporaries a celebratory letter or flower......! It would be too inadvertent for me......!
No, I may feel awkward about celebrating from my fallen contemporaries, but I still want to give you both something as a friend who spent three years together.
When this festival is over, we'll send it by pigeon.
"Iris, you must have gotten a guardian demon stone ring from Irina, right? It was filled with the magic of Irina and the spirits of her covenant spirits, who protected you and made you aware of the strangeness."
"Is that the ring..."
Surely when I first met Kupido in the labyrinth, Kupido was aware of the existence of that ring, and I think he cared.
I rush out the ring I was lowering to my chest, but the only thing that was at the end of the chain was the pedestal of the ring. The large emerald demon stone is gone without a trace.
"Oh, why!?
"After Iris fell asleep, that ring could play and tie the line in the city. And then he left Kupido, and after a while, Leg and Russ showed up and purified our [sleep]. Only Iris didn't wake up, and Penelope, the magician, ran to me just to figure out what was going on."
"You were... Thank you, Dr. Penelope."
"Yes, that's okay. Irina and Clemente can't be in a position to not attend a party, because I was the only one who could move, and because my contract spirits think it's easy to move because they're so close to here!
Oh, yeah. Is Dr. Penelope's contract spirit the sister of Leg and Russ? We've been dating since the teacher was training here, haven't we?
"I'm really surprised Leg and Russ are here. Thanks to the two of you, I was able to work with my covenant spirits, and I split them between the city rescue squad and the squad carrying Iris using the apprentice hares."
According to the teacher's story, everyone wearing Ignis' demonic stone was not asleep until they could not move, and Mr. Lamberto, Mr. Corne, Mr. Bardo and Ignis had the city's fire extinguishing and rescue efforts. I hear Kara and Lulusu-kun are on the lookout with the hares.
"Ignis wanted to be beside you, but the best way to handle flames is with the Spirit of Fire (Salamander). And for some reason, that flame had a color similar to Ignis' magic power (...), so I asked for activity in the city until Iris woke up -"
When Dr. Penelope said so, a red light appeared in the room.
"Iris!"
