I Favor the Villainess

"Dear Claire, we're ready."

"Fine. Then let's go."

The time is eight in the morning.

The sun is in a low position and the temperature hasn't risen so much yet.

Even though it's four moons already, this time of year is still cold.

"I'm going out."

"Go away!

May and Allea are dressed in warm jackets.

What a hand stitch from Master Claire.

There's nothing more complete than a coat that looks like a sewing guild product.

May joins hands with Master Claire and Allea, walking down the road leading to Bauer Cathedral.

"Mahou, I'd like to grab it soon."

"May's with Claire. Oh, come on... erm, let it go? would be nice!"

Why we are all out, because today is the day we have our magical fitness measured.

After the revolution, the kingdom became even more important to magic.

As part of this, citizens became required to examine their magical suitability when they were six years old.

Magical aptitude is shaken by age.

Those who were less apt at birth may also gain some aptitude when they grow up.

The first thing that stabilizes it is that it is thought to be about six years old.

May and Allea's birthdays are twelve moons, thirteen days.

I turned six about four months ago now.

They have seen Master Claire and I use magic so many times that they say they want to try it too.

I don't have to wait to measure my magical aptitude, and I can free up my magic from Master Claire or myself, but I'm told that magic is the most dangerous technology at first.

Because if a person of different aptitudes teaches another aptitude in the person's senses how to use magic, it can lead to unexpected accidents.

I decided to discuss it with Lady Claire and teach her magic only after the two aptitudes had become stable and measurable.

"Claire, you can grab a hiccup, right?

"That's right. I am the high propriety of fire."

"What do you think I am?

Allea is innocently asking that.

"Right. I think Alea has some sort of wind aptitude. Very clever."

Lady Claire returned such an answer without any particular concern.

Lady Claire is right, Alair is very clever.

Maybe it's because of my age, but I'm still very quick to remember all sorts of things.

I heard from Master Lily that reading, writing, and calculating were also much quicker to remember than May.

"Hey, where's May? What's May got to do with it?

May also asks Master Claire as she hangs out her connected hands.

I don't care, neither of you will listen to me.

Fine, I don't miss you.

Gun.

"Hehe, may be fire, right? Very well."

"Yay! Claire, come with me!

May is happily jumping, even though it hasn't been decided yet.

It's not like Allea's never inside, but Mae's definitely better.

May is still more innocent than Allea wants to stretch back in imitation of something and an adult.

"I would have liked to have been with Claire."

"We haven't decided yet, Alea. Besides, if it was the wind, it would be just like Manaria, whom Claire respects, wouldn't it?

"Manaria, you and me!?

Alea looked up, staring down, and looked at me with sparkling eyes.

"Then how can I be?"

"No, I don't know about that on boulders. There's only one Quadcaster in the world, and Manaria has confirmed it."

"But do you have a candlestick?

"That's... sort of"

I didn't think it would be a good idea to make them expect too much, but when I saw Allea, who was completely in the mood, I was hesitant to include it strongly.

I'm really vulnerable to these kids.

"It's time to see it."

Turning forward to Master Claire's voice, I almost saw the cathedral's harsh stiffness.

A queue of parents and children had already been formed, and everyone seemed to shine their eyes on expectations.

"We'll line up too."

"Yes, sir."

"Yes!"

Line up for four at the end of the line.

The columns seemed to flow relatively well.

I might not have to wait that long for this.

"May, don't be a snitch -?

"Fine!

"So it's from Shiritori Rinoli, huh?

"Squirrel!"

"Awesome."

"Me, me, me... no!

"Rod, it's..."

"D, D, D... Don't!

"It's Mae's."

"Ah! No more!

I've just lined up, but I'm still a child there.

May and Allea started to shine whether they were shabby or not.

It's a great game to add more vocabulary, so I do it well with Master Claire and myself.

"Well, let's do it again."

"D, D, D... how much!

"It's one. Yes, it is."

"Hey, hey, that's good!

"Is that an ant?

"I do! 'Cause I'm always pretty good with Claire, Asama and Ray, Shinshita!

Wait, you guys.

"Me, May? What do you mean, we're good friends?

"? Just like that, huh? Getting along!

"Oh, yes..."

Cold sweat appeared.

Although it is a cover-up of previous life, the term friendliness can have an allergic meaning.

Seeing, Master Claire also had a glimmer of sweat on her forehead.

I'm scared because I accept children for anything.

After that, the row proceeded well, and the order of May and Alea soon came.

What hit me in response was the face I saw.

"This is Dear Claire, Mr. Ray."

"Long time no see, Chief Priest."

I'm out of time.

It was the chief priest who, before the revolution, coached me in the practice of devotional dance with Master Lily.

She was a serious person and tough to mentor, but she's a trustworthy woman.

Hello, Shisa.

"Hello!"

…… Oh, yeah, hello. "

Apparently, the chief priest knows all the twins.

There's just a surprise look on that face.

"Surprised. I can't believe you two got so expressive."

Oh, well.

I guess Mae and Allea, whom the chief priest knows, were the two of them when they were still closing their hearts.

May and Allea lived in Slam Street as orphans for some time after the loss of their flesh parents.

How the two children lived together, they were selling magic stones.

May and Allea have a blood curse.

The things that bathe their blood become magical stones.

Fortunately, it is ineffective for those with strong magic power, and for that reason it was the beginning of taking care of the two of them in the first place, but now I discount them on that.

There was a time when the Mays had been taken away by the church.

"I'm so glad you left it with the Claires."

The chief priest smiled uncommonly unfriendly.

Be her, she would have shown me about May and Allea.

Master Lily said the church also has a lot of problems, but because there are people like her, it's not something I threw away yet.

"Come on, let's make measurements. Both of you, put your hands on that crystal ball there."

"Like this?"

"Here's the thing -?

May and Allea each put their hands on two crystal-like magic props.

Demonic props emit a blurry light.

- Except only for May.

"That's crazy......?

The chief priest is also confused.

Since the malfunction of the magic prop was suspected, the crystal was replaced and the measurement was carried out again.

But it still doesn't shine on Area.

"This is..."

The chief priest has a sinking face.

"Is there a problem?

"No, as of now, whatever. We will scrutinize the results before answering."

Unexpectedly, that is what the chief priest replied to Master Claire, who asked in such a manner.

I hear the results arrive in a letter at a later date.

"That's it for the measurement. Good luck."

Master Claire and I had a bad feeling about it, but we got home that day for now.

Along the way,

"I wonder what's wrong with May?

"I'm sure I am." Claire, come on, come on, come on. "

Two innocently uplifting people.

I felt depressed that the smiles of the two of us were going to shade.
