Then Belle stared at the remains of the magic doll in an unfortunate way.

"I'm sorry, maybe I put too much effort into it...."

"No, I overflowed because I was overwhelmed by Bell... sorry..."

"I'm in a bit of a hurry... is this the baptism of the school festival..."

The air that was heating up suddenly cooled to the point where it was unbearable.

I will pick up the silently fallen magic doll shards.

"I won't tell you. 'Cause I'm gonna do something extra."

"Gu... I can't say back"

Loki's words hurt my ears all the time.

"Well, I can't help it ~, what should I do... is there someone who knows magic tools? You're gonna have to fix it, right?

It calms down.

That's right. Magic lectures are organized as a curriculum from the second grade onwards, and the first grade is still out of scope.

"Do you want someone in second grade? Homura-san seems to have a helper."

"Hmm, but I can't tell you where I'm practicing."

"I don't know...."

The calories from the parade practice won't cool off.

I can hear noisy exercises coming up here.

"I knew we had to do something about it."

The neck of the magic doll in my hand looked up at me without asking me to heal it quickly.

Nonetheless, no one has any knowledge of magic dolls.

There may be someone in other classes with knowledge, but he'll be busy getting ready.

And then, the bell raised its voice.

"There may be someone who can help me....."

Huh?

Bell looks at me.

"In the meantime, look... Gil, you're definitely going to be a magician..."

I'm pointing at Belle.

"Ahh!! That's it!!

Hee

Misleading my loud voice, Dorothy stood next to me and said, "Hey."

During the exam, my voice was exactly the same as when I was at the inn.

I unexpectedly look back at Dorothy.

"... no, what is it?"

"Ah, no, anything...."

Let's just say I didn't hear that, yeah.

You're not really close...?

I thought you were already my best friend...

But Yufi, it was definitely a blind spot.

"I see, Yufi... but this is the level at which he can manage."

"Even if you're not a familiar Yufi, if you're in the workshop, you could fix it, right?

"Sure, it's easy to get to know him... It's worth a try."

Then Len turned her arm around my shoulder with a smiling face.

"Oh, you're familiar with childhood, huh? I didn't ask you that! I won't abandon you!"

"Ugh! You're familiar with it!

"Hmm, isn't it cute?

No, that's it...

"Well, maybe she was blonde and pretty."

Len's eyes became sharp.

"Kaaa ~ As usual, buddy! I envy you, I envy you."

Then Len suddenly shuts up to see if she has any signs.

"--Well, I'm familiar with childhood, but it's just near where I was born. Mm-hmm. Ahahah...."

That's how you gently move your arm from my shoulder.

"? Well, I guess so... Anyway, let's go quickly, if it's broken, we won't talk about it."

◇ ◇ ◇

With the magic doll in hand, Bell and I set out into the city.

Len, Loki, Masaki, and Dorothy had other things to prepare in the meantime.

Dorothy said to the end, "I'll follow you. I won't be alarmed," he cried, but there was no need to go alone.

Masaki calmed Dorothy well, and Len sent me to hurry up. I packed the broken magic doll into a box and held it in my arms and left the main gate.

I decided to go with Bell because I was not alone.

"You're a childhood friend, aren't you?

Belle asks casually.

Hmm? Well, I guess so.

Hmm, that sounded pretty intimate.

"Well, we were like family. He was the only kid my age in the village, and I used to eat with him at home."

Then, Belle raised her voice of admiration.

"It's like me and Dorothy.... Speaking of which, I asked Dorothy before and taught Yufi-chan magic."

"Ah, that's it. She was the same age and had a talent for magic. I miss it."

It reminds me of Yufi, who was a vibrant tiger back then.

When I think about it now, Yufi was the most honest and cute person back then...

No, it was a demon with the face of an angel who brought Cyrus without trying to be cautious. Don't forget...

"Ahahah, you've been kind since then, Gil."

That's how Belle topples his body and peeks into my face.

I'm suddenly about to be sucked into those eyes.

"Well, from then on, don't tell me I'm gentle, Belle.

"I don't know... I think Dorothy thinks so too."

"No, he's not."

I'll be clear.

I've always felt like I was a savage just for Dorothy.

From start to finish.

"Gil, you're not done yet."

Huh?

"Nothing."

"Don't say anything Belle doesn't understand at all."

The city is alive everywhere, and when you see us in uniform in London, some people greet us with affection.

Apparently, it is true that the school festival is an event to launch the city.

Various shops, especially here on Gakuen Street, already have a festive vibe.

While you're doing this, you'll come near the workshop written on paper.

I took a tight hold of the magic doll's box and took a corner and proceeded along the river.

Looking along the street, you can see a rustic sign that says "Surchess Magic Tool Workshop" before raising your gaze a little.

"Oh, there."

"You're finally here."

From the inside of the shop, you can hear the sound of a hammer and a loud noise.

"What are you doing? It'll be noisy."

"I don't know... it's so lively."

Then suddenly a mysterious person wearing armor popped out of the workshop.

That momentum makes us strong for a moment.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!

The armor raises a loud cry that can be called a loud one.

From my voice, the man in the armor was like a woman.

"What is it!?

The armor is really simple, made of iron, and stands flabbergasted.

"People...?

But something's wrong.

Behavior is unnatural and does not appear to be moving intentionally.

Then another man pops out to chase it.

An uncle with goggles on his head who wore work clothes.

Uncle rushes in a hurry, but keeps his hands up and down while being alert to the armored woman swinging her arms.

"Oh, relax, Yufi-kun!!! Stop the magic!!

"Even if you say that, OOOOO!!!

The armor keeps rushing toward us, destroying signs and barrels everywhere.

"Did I just say Yufi!?

The moment you hear my voice, the red glowing helmet leans towards us.

"Gh, giIuuuu!!!

Even though the armor recognized me, it was still raging with tremendous momentum without knowing to stop.

"Run, you guys!! We're losing control! I can't die for that power!!

"Hah!?

"Huh!?

Then the uncle who saw us opens his eyes coolly.

"--No, wait, you guys, that uniform... is a student in London! Then it's convenient! Please, stop it!

Obviously the output of the armor is unusual and a single punch lightly cracks the walls of the shop.

Uncle avoids rolling the punch with a short scream.

"What's going on!?

"Look at that!! Experiment failed! Yufi is forcibly sucking up your magic and armor is starting to move alone!!

Ha!

Does that mean it's also a magic tool...?!

"Gil! We have to stop it! If you run into ordinary people, you're in danger!

"Ahh... if you keep sucking up magic, if Yufi's magic dries up, Yufi won't fall apart!!
