Ice Sword Mage Unites the World - The Boy, the world's most powerful magician, enrolls in the School of Magic

"Phew..."

Lydia was back at home with Carla after watching Ray's game. I was currently in the process of taking dinner with Kara and relaxing in my own room.

Even when it came to relaxing, she was looking at her own recently written paper.

Originally, I didn't mean to be a researcher. But it was thanks to Ray that Lydia wanted to take the road as a researcher in this way.

Ray thinks he's had Lydia give him a lot of stuff.

Always Ray calls her a master, with respect. On the other hand, Lydia is also grateful to Ray. For her, I have to say, meeting Ray was destined.

Really, he said it was nice to meet you.

So much so that Lydia loves Ray.

"Hey, Ray. You..."

and look up at the sky through the window.

The moonlight illuminates the room. Under that light, she gently whisks the wine. I don't usually drink that deep, but I take more alcohol today than usual.

That's still because I'm happy.

Of course I'm glad Ray is active. I love him enough to stalk him, so I can't stop my cheeks from loosening just to see him work on the surface stage like this.

On the other hand, I'm still most happy... that Ray was laughing happily.

Meeting Ray still reminds me of Lydia like she did yesterday. During the operation, a child met by chance. That was Ray.

It took years before he could laugh naturally.

"Think it's been that long"

It's been almost a decade since I met Ray. Remember the past, Lydia thinks about it.

As for her, I've always wanted to be with Ray. But it was the last kindness that encouraged him to enroll in the college.

Ray shouldn't be with himself any more.

Lydia went through the Far East battle and began to think so. I've lived with him all my life. But I need to do more for myself, or for Ray.

That, after all, exhausts the point that the sense of distance has become too close.

Ray grew up among grown-ups, both good and bad - the military. That's more than a friend, warrior. It would have a strong connotation that we have fought on the battlefield together.

I couldn't have been there, such as a friend of the same age.

Lydia thought after the Far East battle. What Ray needs is no longer an adult to lead.

That's what I thought we needed to be friends walking together.

If it's true, Lydia wants to be in that position. However, there is still no way to override what is called an age difference. Besides, Ray would never see Lydia as a reciprocal being.

That's why we decided to break up.

Even so, my breakup with Ray is still hard, so I stalk him every now and then......

Lydia had another purpose. It's not just Lydia's will. Upper levels of the Sorcery Society. Among other things, the fact that only a limited number of magicians know.

It was another thought that Ray was to be admitted to the college. Of course, Lydia accepts that. Because I know I can't tie Ray up just because of my love.

"Excuse me."

Rin's voice echoes indoors.

"Kara. Hey, what's up?

Originally I was always knocking, but Lydia said I didn't have to, so now I'm just trying to speak up and get in the room.

"It will be a night meal"

"Oh. Speaking of which, did you ask for it"

Slowly walking forward, Kara puts her evening meal on the table.

I got some good potatoes these days, so she made potato salad.

She has an unparalleled commitment to cooking and thus shakes her pride in Lydia.

Potato salad.

"Yes, because I got some very good potatoes"

"Oh, that looks delicious"

"Yep. Confidence."

It's usually faceless, pale Carla, but this is how I smile gently when I spend time with Lydia.

Potato salad was just the right thing to do today because of the dish that goes with the booze.

"Let's have it."

"Yes."

Slowly carry a warm potato salad in your mouth with a fork. Lydia then smiled slightly.

"Delicious. The boulders are Kara."

"I'm afraid."

Keep your head down on the spot, Carla trying to get out, but Lydia speaks to her like that.

"How about a drink?

and gently tap the wine bottle with the cone.

"Okay, just a little bit"

Then, when I bring another new cup, I sit on the couch facing Lydia and pour the wine over.

"It's delicious."

"Right? I haven't opened a good one in a while"

"... are you getting it? I don't know."

"Oh. Carol's got it."

"Really?"

Kara basically knows everything that's in this house. I thought it would be a gift if she didn't know that. The anticipation was targeting.

"I'm glad Ray's been active these days. The liquor is delicious."

"Right. You've been very active lately."

"Hehe. Right. Ray's really grown up."

It seemed emotional, and Lydia put that into words with emotion. I always tell Carla about Ray, but I only talk to her today in a serious tone.

"The tournament seems to be going well"

"Right. Ray seems to be active enough, as long as he's happy."

"... Is the Magic Realm Rampage Overheating OK?

"Remember the pledge?

"Yes."

"Unless that pledge is lifted, Ray's rampage can be stopped here. Well, instead, my treatment won't go on... but I guess I'll have no choice"

The pledge was exchanged after the Far East battle ended. At that time, Ray suffered every day from the enchantment realm rampage Overheat. At that time, the choice Lydia took was… to sacrifice her own body.

Ray thinks Lydia's legs are stuck because of herself. Lydia, on the other hand, thinks it's because of her immaturity.

judgment in the final phase. That was also the first and last moment Lydia misjudged.

And to protect Ray, at the expense of himself... as a result, Ray was to awaken.

Lydia remembers that time very well, but that was also the moment she caught a glimpse of the magician's reach.

I've seen it happen, and Lydia wanted to give herself up for Ray. But I think it's just a matter of time.

Ray's symptoms are getting infinitely better. That was something Lydia was feeling too.

With a little more time, the pledge will be lifted.

That way she can focus on her own treatment. That would also allow you to stand on these legs. I don't need Kara to take care of me anymore.

Did you realize that, Kara spun her voice just a little lonely?

"If my legs heal, don't I need them?

Lydia gets a little flabbergasted by the words she tells abruptly.

"Right, right. If my legs go back to normal, I won't need someone else's hand anymore. Carla can do whatever she wants."

"If you'll forgive me, shouldn't I still be on your side?

That was surprising to Lydia. I think Kara and I are close, but I can't stay in this relationship forever. Because I thought if my legs went back to normal, we'd break up.

"Are you sure? As for me, it's very helpful."

"Yes, Lydia can't do anything about herself in the first place, can she?"

"Ugh... that's..."

Lydia who will look like she chewed up a bitter bug, but that was for sure. Extraordinary when it comes to witchcraft, but she would otherwise be less than.

Ray would be right to say that it was for the future and pushed a lot of chores and stuff, but he actually couldn't do it himself so he was doing it.

"No food, no laundry, no other chores. Until I got here, it was as tragic as it was before."

"... Well, people are bad at it"

"Yes, so I'm on your side"

Just an introduction, Kara, who came as a maid of honor. When we first met, we weren't particularly close.

But the two gradually packed their distance, and now they have a definite relationship of trust.

Besides, I couldn't even leave Lydia alone as Kara.

She would be genius when it comes to witchcraft. The brains are clear, too. However, when it comes to chores in general, they are below average as soon as possible. Leaving her like that was also distressing. Besides, Kara was happy with her current life again.

The stalker against Ray wants me to stop...

"Phew...... Well, it's time for me to go to bed. Thanks for hanging out with me."

"No. This was a meaningful time. Good night, then."

"Ah. Good night."

And as Carla walks out of the room, Lydia puts a good weight on her back.

Lydia then goes to bed after writing her thesis for a while.

It was a rare day and I dreamed of my days with Ray in the past.
