Walking in the middle of the overgrown path, you can vaguely see the shadow of people who once lived here.
Looking at the dilapidated buildings around her that have become quite old, the dust of history also makes the girl named Zera gradually bring her thoughts back to a long, long time ago.
I thought that the little goddess's so-called 'rest' time would not be too long, but there was no news from her. No wonder they said that the time flow in each world is different.
What she didn't expect was that during this brief period of time, she was also lucky enough to experience what "love" felt like.
Although, this ‘strategy’ lasted a bit long...
Speaking of their encounters and adventures, it probably started from that time.
…
In the year X679, somewhere in the Kingdom of Fiore, there was a small island called "Tianrou Island".
"...Well, everyone should be here already, right? Then, let's start class."
Looking at the students gathered in the small room with a smile, the female teacher immediately picked up her lesson plan after making routine inquiries.
But today, not everyone has arrived, and there is still an empty seat in the second-to-last row by the window.
"Um, teacher, Zella didn't come."
The child next to the empty seat raised his hand as a reminder, causing the female teacher who turned around and started writing something on the blackboard to turn her head again.
"...Zera? Ah, the daughter of the Magisters' Guild? It doesn't matter, President Giself has already said hello to the school."
Thinking of the young lady who had privileges in school, the female teacher was not surprised that she did not come to class again.
Because this kind of thing happened not once or twice, I originally thought it was the eldest lady’s arrogant and willful behavior, but after meeting her once in private, the female teacher found that she was a very polite little girl, and she didn’t come to class.
Because she did learn all this knowledge.
Right now, she should still be in the library.
After signaling the child to sit down, their lessons began in this classroom.
Indeed, as the teacher expected, our protagonist is currently staying in the school library, and is still worried about something.
…
“Well, this is not right...well, that is not right either...ahhhh!!!!”
She scratched her head with a headache and didn't care about her messed up hair. The little girl who was 'tortured' by the characters in front of her suddenly started wailing.
"I thought 'magic' was a very simple thing. I really embarrassed myself as a time traveler..."
He slumped down on the desk and scattered pens and papers all over the floor. There were some incomprehensible symbols and words on them.
The little girl leaned her face against the table and looked at the books piled beside her, her face full of distress.
Why are the protagonists in other stories who have traveled through time all talented magic wizards who can use magic in minutes? Why do they have to study it themselves when they get to her?!
Well, I always feel that this kind of routine has a strong sense of déjà vu... Sure enough, she is not the protagonist and does not receive the treatment of the protagonist...
It has been six years since she was reborn into this world. Not only did she have a new name called ‘Zera’, but she also discovered that magic exists in this world!
Although I was still wondering which world this was at first, after meeting 'her', everything became clear.
However, although there is such a thing as "magic" in this era, there is rarely any systematic teaching, let alone a place like this on a remote island.
Even her father, who had a badass face in this life, said that his fire magic was passed down from the previous generation. The little girl had also seen it and learned it in a confused way. Now she can only use simple magic.
flame.
(…)
"Ah - I understand, don't remind me!"
The exchange of consciousness somewhere started again, and Zella pressed half of her head in frustration.
Originally, she wanted to leave all the 'learning' tasks to 'herself' when she had free time, as before, but after finally completing the analysis of magic, she found that none of the things shared could be used.
Later she found out that that stupid goddess said she wanted to upgrade, and that there was such a use for a [system] that had no sense of existence at all.
You must know that the "rules" of each world are different, just like "spiritual power" and "magic power" are completely different things, and the [system] can help her 'adapt' to the rules.
Now that the [Converter] is gone, not only did it take her a long time to understand what kind of world this is, but all her previous special abilities have been sealed.
Why is it said to be a seal? That’s because it’s not really impossible to use it. All it takes is to directly integrate the consciousness belonging to the [Elf] part.
As for what will happen after forcibly bending the "rules" in this way, it is unknown.
She really wanted to go back and question that stupid goddess about the 'reward' she had promised. This was obviously a 'punishment'...
It's a pity that a certain goddess disappeared without a trace very early, and I don't know where she went again, alas...
Well, all the golden fingers are gone, so I have to ‘fight alone’ for the time being.
Reluctantly, she stood up and packed away the information on the table. The little girl looked out the window and saw that it was getting late.
If she doesn't leave, her little follower will probably come looking for her again.
"……Let's go back."
Thinking of the little guy who could be said to have grown up with her, a long-lost smile appeared on Zella's face.
The Magisters Guild "Red Lizard" is the only guild on this "Sirius Island", and because of the special nature of the guild in this era, the president Giuself is equivalent to the "Emperor" here, so as
The daughter of the Tu Emperor, Zera also has a lot of privileges.
Although her father is powerful and has a bad temper, he is surprisingly good to his daughter and is a total daughter-in-law.
So when faced with Zera's first ever act of cuteness and pity, he readily relieved a certain little guy of a lot of debt problems left behind after his parents died due to a mission failure.
As for how to act cute, Zella had already decided to bury that day in the grave of black history.
…
Walking up the stairs back to this familiar guild, as expected, I saw the little figure cleaning at the door again.
Sighing with appreciation, Zella walked to her back and patted her gently.
"...I said to you, if you have time to sweep the floor, why don't you go to school? Didn't I specially help you apply last time?"
"You've always wanted to see it, Mavis."
The sound from behind made the little blond girl turn around, her surprised expression gradually turning into joy.
"Ah! You're back, Zella!"
With an innocent smile, Mavis hid the broom that was taller than her behind her back, and then laughed.
Different from the original, with Zella's support, Mebis is certainly not dirty, and he is no longer in debt, but the little guy is determined to help everyone in return, so once
When I have time, I take on some odd jobs.
Zella had told her about this several times, but she turned a deaf ear to her every time.
Maybe the reason why she worked so hard was to get out of the shadow of her parents' death.
"Okay, okay, let's go."
"Huh? But I haven't finished cleaning here yet..."
He walked behind and pushed Mavis towards the guild, but the little guy was still a little reluctant.
"...I borrowed some new books from the library today, do you want to read them?"
"Want to see!"
"..."
His eyes suddenly sparkled, and Mabis answered without hesitation and took Zella's hand in turn.
There's nothing she can do about it, this is her biggest hobby.
"Go back quickly! Zella!"
"...I know, I really can't do anything to you."
The laughter went away with the wind, and the two people's backs gradually lengthened in the sunset.
The crimson-colored clouds slowly drifted by, as if the world was offering a silent blessing. (To be continued)
