Fun summer is over. The season is completely autumn.

Soon I'll be nine, too.

Graduation from school in the next year and a half is fast.

One day, when I got home from school, I had a visitor at home.

It's Dr. Fernando!

It's been two years.

"Hello, Mr. Curse. Welcome back. You look better than anything.

"Long time no see! Teachers are the best!

He's your unchanged son.

"I brought you the souvenirs I promised you last time. You should try it on.

"Thank you!

This!? A cageman!

It's black and not decorative, but if you look closely, the wood is beautiful. And I feel strange magic.

Comfortable to wear... perfect.

It's like custom-made.

You haven't weighed the size or anything. Why?

"It fits, doesn't it? The last time I came here was a long time ago, so I thought it would be hard if it wasn't the right size. They turned on the sizing function.

"Thank you! Cool!

"You're welcome. Don't be overconfident, even my sword won't cut it.

Fantastic!

It was Elder Ebony Ent or I got something amazing.

"Good for you. You're gonna keep him well tamed, aren't you?

"Patience!

That's right, it's like a wooden knife. Keep it in circulation and tame. And what good would that do?

"By the way, what good is it to keep your protective gear tamed too?

"Ugh, it'll replace the wand, and it'll boost your defense. I'm so glad. By the way, me, Marie and Chiara got this bangle.

"That's the end of the cut. I'm sorry. I gave you priority this time, Odilon.

"Thank you so much. I'm sure Odillon will be back tonight, so I'm looking forward to a happy face.

"Ma'am, can we have dinner? Can you wait till Odillon boy gets home?

"Right. He should be back soon, and shall we wait? Shall we drink lightly until then, huh? Master Fernando?"

"It is. Keep it with your companion. By the way, what about Alan's guy tonight?

"They say it's night shift. It's about noon tomorrow.

"That's too bad. I've been in Kutanutu for about a month this time, so I hope to come back.

While my teacher and mother are drinking, I'm reading a book to Chiara.

Dinner yet? I'm getting hungry. Brother Odie, it's too late.

That was the time.

I heard a heavy knock at the gate...
