“Eeh… Truly…?”
“Mm. My Master, that is, the previous Guardian, was apparently a teacher at the academy.”
“Sage Kouta, then… I did think he was well versed in many magics, but to think he was a Guardian…”
“Knowing Master, he was probably laughing inside every time the Guardian came up.”

‘Possible lol’
‘Or rather, no question lol’
‘That guy has a mean streak lol’

He likes pranks and such pretty well. I still haven’t forgotten having a weird cushion put on my chair. The one that goes boo. If I get to see him I’ll punch him.
I was going to… punch him…

“Wait!? Please don’t suddenly cry!”
“But…”
“Even a Guardian is as they look, I see… Here, a handkerchief. Yes, chiin.”
“Chiin.”
“Well done.”

‘What is this’
‘I’m getting mom vibes from Mireille…’
‘Mireille Mama!’

“W-what is it? I felt a strange chill…!”

‘For real lmao’

Mm… She might be sharp… Being watched by people she doesn’t know wouldn’t feel good, so I won’t say it.

“Continuing the conversation… You said your purpose in leaving the forest was looking for someone? You intended to search for Master… for Sage Kouta, did you not?”
“Correct. I didn’t know the name, though.”
“Eeh… You studied under him, did you not…?”
“I only ever called him Master…”

‘We didn’t know the name either’
‘He only introduced himself as a mage on the first stream too…’
‘It should have become Master after Rita-chan started streaming’

I’ve heard from Master that on streams like this you don’t give your real name. I was warned when I was given the streaming magic. I don’t care and just use my real name. I’m not from Japan so it shouldn’t matter.

“So, Rita. What will you do from here?”
“Mm?”
“As for Master… you understand now, yes? Is there a need to go outside the forest?”
“Am I in the way?”
“No, nothing of the sort! If someone of your caliber becomes an adventurer, it would be very reliable. However, you have no need of the position of adventurer, do you?”

If I’m only traveling, I think that’s true. Same as not going outside the forest like until now.
But hearing Master was a teacher, I thought just a little. I wanted to see it, or something.
So at least, I want to go see what Master was doing.

“To tour something called an academy, having some kind of position seems convenient.”
“Tour? You? …Ah, I see. You wish to investigate Master’s trail.”

What’s with this kid, too sharp, scary.

‘A satori youkai, maybe?’
‘No, that just now was pretty easy to get’
‘Rather I can’t think of any other reason’

When they say it, that’s true. Nobody would think I want to be a teacher, and I don’t want to either. Teaching Chii-chan is fun, though.

“I understand. Then we shall quickly look into this so-called large mana reaction!”
“Ah, sorry. The cause of that is me.”
“Eh.”
“I used a fairly large magic a few times. Tell them it’s the effect of the Guardian experimenting with magic.”
“Eeh…”

Honestly, um what was it… I feel like it’s become a match-pump, but I haven’t lied so I want to be forgiven. I didn’t think it was being observed either.

“W-well, fine. Incidentally, will you continue that experiment?”
“Mm. I think I’ll do it regularly. No good?”
“There is no danger?”
“I have the Great Spirit’s stamp of approval so it’s fine.”
“A luxurious stamp of approval…”

That’s a Guardian’s privilege. Being able to have her look at things so easily is a big help.
When I said that I got very exasperated for some reason.

“Think of today as a vacation and take it easy. There are lots of books so you shouldn’t be bored.”
“Is that so? Then I shall take you up on that.”

‘Rita-chan putting someone up…’
‘Honestly I thought it would be impossible her whole life…’
‘She’s grown lmao’
‘Don’t grow grass on me lol’
‘You’re one too lol’

Are these people picking a fight.
By the way. The books on the shelf are all apparently valuable, and Mireille made a huge fuss, but I think it’s a trivial thing.
Ah, yeah. There’s preservation magic on them so you can read freely. Help yourself.
