"Rookie fight? I knew it."
Dorothy drank a drink and ran out of time.
"Well, what didn't you know, Gil? That's what I knew."
Len seems to be in the same position.
"I didn't think you guys were so meerhawks!
It is at least a resistance.
Where is the resistance?
"Well, when it comes to rookie fights, it's a big event for us all the year! It's the best way to leave an impact and improve your status as a magician ~"
"Damn, that's the best I can say."
Well, since Gil remains an ancient man of common sense, it's impossible without knowing.
"Don't get tired of all that incitement."
The fact that it's true doesn't surprise you again.
"Well, what about Belle? It's unusual for Dorothy and Bell to be apart."
"That's intertwined. She has a mentor at her house, so she goes home every time she takes a break."
"That's a tight one... that's the original vein..."
Yes, it's a holiday.
A week after last week's three-school fight, we were on holiday again.
Dorothy's special training in magic detection was over, and we never saw each other again after school.
Even though you feel a little lonely, it was a bit unusual, wasn't it? And I get embarrassed at night. It was such a memory.
The person didn't know that feeling and thought it was pure magic practice.
That's why, at Len's suggestion, we invited people who had been vacant for a year to hang out in the city of London on holidays.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, but I was confused by the preparation."
Running from the front is our Ulura-class energetic sign (the others have a loose head screw), Misaki.
Misaki rushes back to us with her black hair shaking loosely.
Misaki ~!
Dorothy has a light hug with Misaki.
... can I mix it up too?
"Oh, absolutely. Are we done here?
"Yes! It's a holiday, so let's stretch our wings as much as we can."
A misaki with a cute pouch hanging from a dress looks like a lady somewhere.
These four are going out today.
This is so young and awesome!
"What should I do first? Is there somewhere you want to go?
"I'm a library."
"Well, if it's a library, I'll be at school. Ah, almost half of it was burned."
Bad memories come back to life.
You realize that, Masaki changes the subject.
"Nice library! Let's go, let's go! I had a novel I wanted to read too!
That said, Masaki grabs Dorothy's arm and starts walking to the library.
"Oh no, Misaki will calm the air. I like that type."
"If you were a girl, you'd like everybody."
"I don't know, Gil. I don't like girls, I just happen to like them. Maybe you too..."
That brings Len closer to her face.
"Stupid, quit joking! I like you, but I don't like to say that."
"Ha ha ha! I know, I think you're my best friend too."
"Don't be shy, don't be shy"
Len shows her white teeth with a dazzling smile.
The word innocent suits a man.
When I first met him, I wondered what he looked like in this strange outfit...
"Well, when it comes to rookie fights, it's not my best friend, but I'll do my best."
Oh, yeah.
Do your best.
For me, killing everything is almost synonymous with killing.
My special magic can't be called a slack. After all, we have no choice but to rely on general-purpose magic.
Still, I'm not going to fight them shamelessly.
◇ ◇ ◇
Library has arrived ~! I can't do it!
The school library is not great, but it is still quite large.
It's a place that I missed a lot of the time I was immersed in before I started school.
The atmosphere inside is cool, quiet and calm.
A different audience from the school library. Grandpa, grandma, ordinary students, and even people in work clothes.
Misaki talks to Dorothy in a low voice.
"Hey, what does Dorothy read? A magic book, after all?
"Hey, why are you asking that? Anything at all!
Misaki bursts into Dorothy, who looks shy.
"What ~ I'm suspicious. Are you trying to use the magic of love? That's what you call it."
"Chi, it's not... Hey, a new magazine..."
That's what I got in my hand is a popular novel in the alley, "Love the court sorcerer." Common name is Koikyu.
"Ah, is Dorothy quite a meeha?
Len murmured without delicacy.
"Yes, that's fine! Recently, I've been wondering if I could read something like this. I have to walk not only to myself, but to other people.
Hmm, Dorothy's changed a lot.
I felt like I was...
Reading fashion books is also a way to talk together.
Sometimes I really want to fall in love while it's nice.
Isn't that limited to Dorothy?
"... that's not Dorothy."
Huh?
Misaki said so.
The color of your eyes disappears as if you've lost interest.
"Eh, Misaki, did you say something?
"Uh-huh! Ah, I'll check it out! Pick what you like! Let's meet again at lunch!
That's why each of us scattered around looking for the book we wanted to see.
There is no coordination in this kind of place.
Well, it's crazier for everyone to come to the library and go around the bookshelf.
That's right, how you spend your time in the library.
Even so, what was Misaki's reaction just now?
Somehow I felt like I had a glimpse of the Masaki darkness, and suddenly I got scared.
"Yabe, the tremors are..."
Are you okay?
Then Misaki noticed me and called out.
Did they ask you!? Was it out loud? Yeah, yeah!
"Oh, oh, it's okay..."
"Good, then. Gil, what were you looking at?
"Ah, a bit of a magic history book. It's only after the Dark Ages, but it's still enough."
Then Misaki snapped nicely.
"Yes, Gil, it looks like you! Oh yeah, I knew it."
"Oh... oh..."
The gap between that smile and the look on your face earlier.
It made me lose track of her again.
