"'Strong Will'...'Magic Factor'...'Meditation'...and these magic symbols...Tsk, it's really troublesome..."
In the room specially organized by Giself, the upper echelon of the guild, Zella's still slightly immature face showed a maturity that did not suit his age. He frowned and kept writing on the paper.
What are the 'distant' memories trying to do?
If Mavis's hobbies are reading and cleaning, then Zella's hobbies are the practice and research of magic.
Not to mention that there are no entertainment activities at all on such a small island. Even if there is an estimate, it is not as attractive as magic, a mysterious mystery that has never been touched before.
So after having a simple dinner, she used to avoid her dad who wanted to rush towards me for a hug as usual, and was used to being under the disappointed gaze of Zella who had finally grown up and was obviously so clingy to me when she was little.
He went upstairs to continue his practice.
I really took control of my daughter who now relies on delusions and brain supplements to replenish her 'energy' every day.
The reason why Zera rarely stays in the lower levels of the guild is because she doesn't like the entire guild atmosphere.
Due to the factors of the times, members of the Magisters' Guild at this stage are extremely aggressive. After all, in order to ensure their rights and status in business, disputes and wars are very common. You can often hear about which guild here has been wiped out.
Yes, which guild there has attacked somewhere.
They are not companions who gather together for 'adventure', but more like an interest group pursuing money and status.
This form of existence that was far from Zera's ideal guild also made her quite helpless.
Of course, although she doesn't like it, she won't be so naive as to say, "We are all friends and we should get along well with each other." If she said that in this era, if she didn't have the strength, the grass on the grave would be three feet high.
Whatever you want to achieve, in the final analysis, you are back to the starting point.
"...Is it powerful enough to change the 'era'..."
Squinting her eyes slightly and clenching her fists, the flickering lights reflected the girl's uncertain face.
In the previous world, she had always been thinking about how to survive, but she had never really yearned for power in her heart.
In Lenovo, that little goddess has always emphasized ‘becoming stronger’...
(Could it be that this is her purpose...)
But when she thought of that off-kilter little face that would have an IQ of -⑨⑨⑨, Zera shook her head vigorously.
Well, I must be thinking too much.
…
"Zera, what's wrong with you?"
"——Uh-huh!"
There was a sound of a chair overturning backwards, and the little girl who raised her head reflexively when she heard the cry saw the little face that appeared very close to her, and her big bright eyes startled her.
Because I had been thinking about my own things, I completely forgot that there were other people in the room.
"Zera!? Are you okay!?"
He hurriedly ran behind the table to help Zella up, and the owner of the big eyes, Mabis, asked with concern.
"...It hurts, it hurts, really, don't scare me, Mavis..."
I touched the back of my head. The blow just now was quite painful. Fortunately, it wasn't too severe. It would probably be fine in two days...
"Ah! That's too much! My face is not that scary!"
Seeing that Zella was fine, Mavis pouted because of the complaining words just now.
"Yes, yes, Mavis is the cutest."
After perfunctorily coaxing the little blond girl, Zella patted her clothes and lifted the chair up again.
"...Hey hey, Zella is cute too!"
As expected, Mabius was still a child and happily accepted the compliment, and responded with a smile.
"..."
After rubbing her arm, from an angle that Mabius couldn't see, Zella's face dropped and she felt strange.
She has no interest in whether she is cute or not...
"By the way, Zella, is everything really okay? The expression on your face just now seemed ugly. Are you feeling unwell?"
Returning to the original topic again, it seemed that the serious expression on her face worried Mavis who was standing aside.
"...Well, it's okay, I just thought of a complicated problem."
"It's you, you've finished reading the book again, right?"
Smiling to reassure Mavis, Zella looked at the books stacked on the table on the other side.
She knew that if no one reminded her, Mavis would only pay attention to other things after finishing the book.
"Well! Thank you, Zella! You have always brought me so much interesting knowledge."
Holding the book in her arms, Mabius thanked her sincerely.
"It's not a big deal... Also, you can actually go to the library yourself!"
She looked away with some embarrassment, and then as if she remembered something, Zella sighed and scolded her again.
"...But, I still have cleaning work to do every day..."
Fidgeting with his fingers in embarrassment, Mavis responded weakly.
"It doesn't matter what happens with that kind of thing. I already told you that you don't need to do anything like that -"
"no!"
For the first time, she interrupted Zella forcefully by shouting. Mabius glanced sadly at the storybook she had read over and over again, which was placed in the center of the desk.
The name is "FairyQuest".
It describes an adventure story about searching for fairies, and it is also the last memory left to her by Mavis's parents.
"Don't take everyone's goodwill for granted..."
"...If we don't work harder now, we won't be able to see the goblin..."
Gently touching the cover of the book, the little guy thought of his parents and tried hard not to shed tears.
Because she knew that if she cried, she would not see the goblin.
"Mavis..."
Also infected by this sadness, Zella moved her lips slightly and wanted to say something, but she also knew that no matter how comforting this kind of thing was, it would be pale.
Therefore, only turning words into actions is the best support.
"...I understand, do what you want to do, Mavis!"
Gently pressing the storybook on the lowered little head, Zella, with one eye slightly closed, encouraged her little friend in her own way.
"Before you find the so-called goblin, I will reluctantly accompany you for a while."
"...!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, an unnatural blush appeared on her face, because she found that what she just said seemed a bit strange?
The next moment, the word 'arrogant' suddenly appeared in Zera's heart.
Obviously I just want to be a close elder sister...cough! Big brother! Sure enough, it has been affected by being reincarnated too many times...
This feeling, which was like a shameful play, made the girl who reacted blush and turned away, so she did not notice the changes in Mavis at this time.
The small mouth undulated slightly, and the face hidden under the book made a faint nasal sound.
"……Um."
…
(Thank you, Zella.)
(It’s really great that you can become my friend...) (To be continued)
