Senpensekai no Madoushoshi

Even today, two days after the search, Atashi is in the library.

That day will come soon. That's why we can't waste a day.

Run even a pen on the paper for practice. Comparing the letters in the book to the letters I wrote, find out if there's anything strange about it, and rewrite it until I'm satisfied that it's not there.

Over time, I was also kind of uncomfortable with the text I thought this would be good at first, so I changed it.

I've never seen, read, and written a letter so far in my fourteen years of life. Even as Atashi remembers, I can assure you he's having the darkest time.

"... Ha, something... really, Atashi, looks like you're a student here?

In the library where no one was, I breathed the same dusty air heavily.

"... I wasn't comfortable at first, but it might not be a bad idea, here..."

I got a lot of eyes on the amount of books when I went to Irie's parents' house, but now I'm not. Maybe that's because the letters are now readable to some extent.

Not something unidentified, but with its contents absent? Now that I know, I think it kind of faded the feeling of being looked at unilaterally and the rejection was less.

Would you be like the Iries if you knew a little more what it meant?

"Oh, but... I'm sick when I get there, and I wonder if Atashi is normal..."

Eilees reads books a lot anyway. Sometimes I read books all day if I leave them alone.

Was that... when it was a month since I met Iris and Rose at the front desk? Wouldn't it be cheaper if the four of us stayed in one room? and Toslin said.

That's how, within that day, the four of us moved into a room together to live together. That's where we first found out, isn't it, the Eilees ecology?

Get dressed, start reading the book when you finish your breakfast, have lunch, read the book again, have dinner, take a bath, and read the book until you go to bed.

Iris is basically this repetition. I have to be invited. You just don't try to go outside, or do anything else.

So at first, it was to do something about it, wasn't it, to get the Iries attached to the work of the Atassis Adventurers?

So when I actually took him around, surprisingly, that was so popular that I could see a smile I'd never seen before.

Glad to hear that, the Atasis invited Iris on an adventure every time something happened.

At first, you reluctantly arrive at the Atasis, and when you get to work, you start making it seem more fun than anyone else, that guy.

On paper, I wrote Iris Calvafon. You don't have to look at anything anymore, you can write in that (...) et al. (...).

"Isles like that... is now the red rank..."

Kind of at first, I couldn't believe it.

Because for Atashi, Iris is a sweet sister, but if she asked me if I could count on her... because she was the kind of person who would lean her neck.

But in fact, such a sister saved my life.

Worried about the late returning Atasis and Saluena... and then I took Laplice and tried Carbuncle, and I won.

"It's amazing..."

I don't usually rely on you so much, and you're still so goofy, but it's amazing how you help Atashi.

From the beginning, Iris was a sweet sister to Atashi, but now she's not just a sister, she's a sweet, dependable little sister.

"What are you doing, you?

"Wow!?

I was a little too alarmed by the crap. When I realized there was a toslin behind me, and I was looking over here.

"Surprised"

"Oh, my God, that's unusual. I can't believe you haven't noticed this far. Were you asleep?

Toslin looks a little worried about the looking back Atashi. Atashi sandwiched the practice paper on the table under the book.

"Oh, yeah. Kind of. I was falling asleep."

"It's getting warmer lately."

At Atashi's disposal, Toslin's gaze moved for a moment. Maybe they noticed you hid the paper. But even if it looks like it sucks, you can't even read the contents. Because the Atashi letters, they're still dirty.

"I can't believe you're in the library. It was completely blind."

"It's quiet here, and it's easy to spend."

"Are you done with what you have to do?

Toslin came all the way to the side of Atashi and laid his hands on the back of the chair he was sitting on.

Looking up, there's Toslin's face. I guess I've been in class before. Smells a little dusty. But that's reassuring for Atashi, it smells good.

"Not yet, but..."

"... book? What are you gonna do, pull something like that out when you can't even read it?"

Shit. I didn't even find out I was practicing letters because I hid the paper, but they saw the book instead.

"There are so many paintings in this book, I was just looking at it."

"... hmm?

Toslin turned his exploring eyes to Atashi and the book for a moment.

Well, I guess so. I never bothered to take a trip to a place full of books like this before, and I never took a book.

I think he's probably worried about me when he sees Atashi starting to act unusual.

"Hey, can I help you? I'm counting on you to escort Iris, and even at night, you haven't had much time off because of that, have you? So if there's anything I can do to help..."

Toslin's hand stretched out to the book.

Underneath is a piece of paper with everyone's name on it. Besides, I have a draft of a letter I wrote to Toslin.

"Hey, no!!

Atashi reached for the book, pah, and kept it away from Toslin's hand. with the paper below.

Then Toslin turned into a surprised face. Beautiful eyebrows, blue gemstone eyes, round.

"This book is borrowed... so in case it gets dirty, I'm in trouble"

"Oh, oh... sorry... That's right..."

Toslin looked at his hands and paid off the dirt that was slightly on him.

The subtle air flowed between Atashi and Toslin, perplexing. That's obviously unnatural right now, and I think it hurt Toslin.

Shall I tell you everything already? Because then, at least now, the awkwardness of this place should disappear.

Atashi just wants to get along with Toslin. I just want to be close the whole time. So this is... troublesome. I'm in so much trouble. A real fall? That's the guy.

"Oh, you know..."

It was when Atashi opened his mouth like that.

"Master Iriburg? Um... it's time to go or you won't be able to sit down."

Several students climbed the spiral stairs, reluctantly speaking here.

"Oh... yes. Right, I'll be right there."

Toslin looked back and smiled at them, saying so.

"... what? Those people."

I saw it. It was in Atashi's chest. Words that were all the way out to my throat were pulling in, and instead those words were coming out.

"I'm a student who teaches swords now."

I know that. Because I look through the window here like every day. But that's not what Atashi wants to hear.

"I'm going to grab lunch... but I saw your face through the window. I'm here to invite you."

On purpose? Walk from the ground to here?

Unexpectedly, 'yeah,' I almost nodded in reply. But the presence of the girls behind me made Atashi solid.

What would Toslin do if he said Atashi wouldn't go?

Will you still invite me? Will you pull your hand and take him forcefully? Or would you give priority to Atashi and stay here?

In Atashi's head, his dreary aspirations swell.

"Yes. Thanks for taking the time. But I don't want a rat. A little more, I'm here."

And you're right, I've spoken. Immediately after that, regret comes. But now I know... I can't say. Pride gets in the way. Even myself, I wonder what a mess it is. But emotions take precedence over reason, and this is the reality.

I want the people there to show me that Atashi is what makes Toslin special.

"Oh... well. So... see you later?

……

But it won't. The words returned were the true opposite of expectations and could be heard without hesitation.

"... yeah"

Toslin's footsteps as he drifts away. If I could have reached it, I could have reached for its back.

But Atashi bit his tight back teeth, and turned his back to be mean.

... Normally, it doesn't stick a little more? I mean, you're saying Atashi's here, and you're going out for dinner with the other girls, or what?

I know this is what's happened because Atashi refused to help, refused to invite me.

I understand that the emotions Atashi has right now are very, very irrational.

But even so, I couldn't help but think so.

I always wanted Atashi to be the only priority.

"... he's such a pain in the ass... Atashi..."

I don't know how many times I've been to this school, and Atashi didn't know that word, and he was leaking it with a sigh.
