I knew at first sight that the girl in front of me was Lucy's niece.

Her crimson hair and eyes look just like Lucy's, and her aristocratic flicker is very similar to Lucy's.

However, Lucille was pretty small while Lucille was a slender long one.

Phyllia is also smaller, but shorter than that phyllia.

Lucille looked up at me.

"Does Solon miss this school?

"Well, until a few years ago, I was a student at this school. I have a lot of good memories."

"Yeah."

Lucille seemed bored, crushed small.

Somehow, it reminds me of the old Lucy vibe.

When I just became Lucy's apprentice, Lucy always had a cold look and a grand attitude, for better or worse.

In that sense, Lucille feels like a totally little Lucy.

"You two must have come to see me, right? Solon the Magic Swordsman and Her Royal Highness the Empress Philia"

I looked around a little.

If someone had listened to what was being said, it could have been a fuss because Phyllia was a princess.

But Philia grinned, not even in a panic.

"Yeah! We're here to see you. Maybe about the same age?

"I'm fourteen..."

"I knew I was the same age!

Phyllia makes her face shine.

Originally, Filia was alone in the Imperial Palace, and she didn't have any friends her age.

My maid, Clarice, was a little older, albeit a philia friendship.

So I guess it's a pleasure to see a girl of the same age for Philia.

Phyllia approached Lucille and shook that hand as she jumped pimply.

Lucille seemed surprised, laying her red eyes down confused.

"Um... Your Highness?

"Philia, you can call me that."

With a grin, Philia tells Lucille.

It feels smiling when two little adorable girls line up.

Still, how did Lucille find out about me and Philia at a glance?

"Because Dr. Lucy said so. If anything happens, Solon and His Royal Highness Philia will be here."

"Oh, I see."

After all, Lucy was entrusting something to Lucille in case something happened to her.

Lucille started walking to one of the school spires and looked back at us.

"Come. I'll show you to Dr. Lucy's lab."

"Dr. Lucy's lab?

"Yes, because there's what you guys need"

We went after Lucille, as they told us.

For the first time in a long time, the school building was dim and as dusty as ever.

Climb the stairs as Phyllia wanders around.

With a groovy spiral staircase, the light only plugs in through a small round window.

Eventually, when he reached the front of the room, Lucille opened the lab door.

In the center of the room where the pile of books was placed, there was a brown chair that looked expensive.

But the owner was no longer in the room.

Lucy would be captured as a national rebel and would also be dismissed from her position as a professor at the School of Magic.

"Maybe this room will be impounded soon too"

When I snapped, Lucille nodded.

"I think so. So you better take what you need."

And Lucille pointed to a book with a bright red cover.

The book, worn in thick skins, had gold lettering engraved on the back cover.

However, that letter is not an imperial standard.

I prefer to speak the language of other countries, but I have never seen such a letter.

Is it an ancient letter or something?

Philia glances at the book from the top as well, curiously snapping her neck.

"What's this?

"The Book of Magic. What you guys need. This is... Dr. Lucy's great magic."

So Lucille stared straight at us.
