Thus Lenore became a servant of Mertina Snow, and had almost no chance of appearing before the royal palace.

Mertina accompanied me when I needed to protect me as if I were a knight.

Mother Lenin was also surprised that Lenore had become the hero's servant, and perhaps calmed down.

The shape has changed slightly, but the calm days have come back.

Six months passed in an instant, and I wondered if the gloomy days at the royal palace had been some kind of bad dream.

"... fufu, fufu.... fufufu, fufufu"

Dive through the big gate and step out onto the street.

Lenore diligently suppresses loose mouth area.

"... Len. This is an order from your employer. Don't laugh."

Mertina, who had gone out with him, was in a very bad mood.

"... I mean... fu, fufufufu! Hahahahahaha!"

"I told you not to laugh! Damn!"

"... that's it!"

Holding the arm entangled in his neck, Lenore kept laughing.

What you two did later was a girls' college attached to the Church of Cuareness.

It is a school where women of their age attend.Mertina and the current king Omzolf were also graduates here.

This time, Mertina was invited as a lecturer to give practical instruction to students.

Everyone is already thriving with the appearance of legendary heroes.It was just a pull, and the yellow voice never stopped ringing from beginning to end.I was just finished working after being scattered around.

"I'm tired... I'm really tired...I've never been so tired when I was here.... "

With an unusual low voice, she shouts at her former school house.

"... I saw a different Mel and it was fresh.... keep pushing. "

"What? Len was having fun talking to an older kid.I was watching. "

"... that's..."

Lenore, who has only wanted to become a court chanter (mage) since the time he arrived, does not have any friends who seem like friends.

I won't deny it.

I used to feel a little jealous every time I saw a boy or girl who looked like a college student in the city.

But after all, I'm already a palace servant.If you don't have to be a college student, you can't do anything further in the first place.

"... that's fine because I have Mel."

"Oops, say something nice."

Fufufu, he was the Lord who laughed, but his words made him look as if he thought of something "fufu".

--Peaceful days didn't last long.

Does God intend to give further tests?

About a day after Lenore was thirteen years old.

"... Mother... what are you doing now..."

"I said I'm going to quit."

Lenin's voice did not have any emotions.Previously, the reprimand for telling me not to do it twice would have flown.

However, there is nothing left on the side of my exhausted mother's face.Anger, sadness, arousal for rebirth... it's as if all those feelings have been exhausted.

"I'm... tired. I did everything I could... but my weakened powers didn't come back."

Looking at his hands.Neither the gaze nor the palm that looks deflected feels energetic.Previously, I often kept a diary, but these habits have also been completely lost lately.

"This is also the taste of Curiennaise. She said," Stand down now. "

"... that's not true."

"Even if you stick to your current position until you get like this, you just have to defile the evening season... you can't tell me when to pull it off."

……

"Lenore, I'm sorry. I was really proud of you growing up every day.But... eventually, I started feeling jealous.He said he would definitely go beyond me sometime.I was scared. As a single-chanter "Mage", I can lose to you.... "

"... Mother, ma'am"

"I have to be happy because my child is going beyond my parents...Yeah, I'm convinced. Curienne punished me for being so greedy. "

"... no way..."

"What a face you have.Power has faded, but knowledge is alive.I will continue to support you and everyone as a guide. "

That is the conclusion chosen by Lenin, one of the chanters, Maggie.The path you chose to maintain your spiritual balance.

According to the doctor, it was better to rest away from the royal palace for a while.

They left the Imperial City of Istenrich and moved to a village a little further away.

Lenin climbed onto a hill with a view of the royal capital from afar.

Dedicated physicians tend to be reluctant about their faces.

A day like that is not just a day like that, it is also physically impaired.It was suggested that it might be better to consider retreating further afield once.

The following year.

Lenore resigned as a court chanter (Mage).

To accompany my mother, of course.

There was no practice at all.

From a young age, I was aiming to become a court chanter (mage), and I was eleven years old when I realized my dream, but the motivation was all "because I want to see my mother's happy face".

It hasn't changed yet.

Therefore, there was no need to stick to the shrine service.The purpose is to make my mother smile.It is not the court chanting magician (Mage) itself.

Those "colleagues" will be glad to see no one in their way.It should only benefit each other.

Other royal palace officials seemed surprised by the sudden events.I was told that if I continued to be active, I might be nominated by the Snowstorm White Knights "Glasella Duela", but it didn't really matter to Lenore.

Mother Lenin was also puzzled about "what to say," but her daughter did not waver.

Mertina's plan allowed her to continue as an exclusive attendant, and to maintain her appearance as the Wing Magician "Mage".As a result, my mother was also reluctant, but she was convinced.

The mother and daughter would then move to the distant neutral zone of Halschwart, where they would hire a servant, Wefosh, to start living quietly.

One day, I became familiar with my new life.

"Len, I want you to have more experience in keeping me in my service.So go to the academy. "

Mertina at the end of her assignment said something terrible about coming to the Mansion.

"... college?... eh?... what are you talking about?"

"Listen, Len, do you think I didn't notice?You're so strong that you don't want any friends, but your eyes are following the students. "

"... well, that's..."

"Well, anyway. Though you have a wealth of practical knowledge, there are many unexpectedly lacking basic parts. [M]No matter how much Lenin taught me, I couldn't help but learn by myself.Anyway, it's a good opportunity to make it up to you. "

"... but I can't believe I'm free to go to college."

"Whatever. You are only fourteen years old. [M]It's still time to train in the studio, even if you're aiming for Wing Mage. "

"... why?... all of a sudden... Mel, I got in the way."

"Hey, don't say things like crazy stuff.Inversely. As my Servant, I need you to reach a higher level.Whatever you say, I can't be a part of the crowd.I need you to consolidate the foundation now.In order to do it together forever. "

That certainly made sense.

Lenore must be more refined if he is to remain a partner of the supreme user named Mertina.

"... but... after all, then... the girls' college of the Divine Church?"

When it comes to cultivating the divine chanting "Oracle", there is no other choice.It was a question in the sense of confirmation rather than asking.

"No, I want you... to study at Middle Academy in Raindeer."

... Raindeer? Why foreign? Middle College? Name I've never heard of.

That's how Lenore lost her words, but Mertina would have expected it, and politely explained why.

"First of all, frankly, you won't get a proper reputation at Badalnois College.He is Lenin's only daughter and has a background as a former court chanter (Mage).The coloured glasses follow me around.I want you to study hard, but there's no point in not being properly valued. "

Therefore, it must be a college outside the country... where there is no one who knows Lenore.

"So, this Middle Academy... is quite an unusual college for divine chanting" Oracle ".Others may be candidates for bulk fault Rhythinthia Academy... but it's too far away.Anyway, here at Middle Academy, there will be eggs from all over the world from the best chanter, Mage.I can't imagine how much I can't be angry with you.There is no place for you to improve your abilities. "

It is said that the closest school is here under the condition of a foreign country.

"... but... in the meantime, my mother..."

"There's Wephosh, there's a doctor, and there's me. Don't worry about it."

"... but... but..."

Naturally, Lenore was looking for a reason.

Why don't you study abroad?

"Hey, Len."

The quiet, mellow voice of Mertina.

"It's time for you to look at yourself."

"... what do you mean?"

"That's what it means. You have always thought only of meeting Lord Lenin's expectations.I think it's time to find out what you want to do. "

"... all I want to do is please my mother."

"For you, that's 'something you have to do'.The mission I've imposed on myself since I was a kid... you can call it a pillar of your heart, and I'm not going to deny it.Lord Lenin is the only one for you... Ah, there's Svorne, but well... he's a relative, thank you very much. "

Mertina, who was stuck one step at a time, said with her gentle eyes.

"For myself. I want you to find something else important to make a person named Lenore Schne-Growthwitz happy.I think so. "

"... Mel..."

They think about themselves everywhere.

Still... it was hooked a little.

Certainly, I may have made a gesture that my friend might want.A sharp girl might have guessed.

But... why did Mertina suddenly recommend studying abroad?I couldn't get rid of a slightly unnatural impression.
