The Witch and the Doll Swear

Life in the city of a thousand towers, after the initial novelty wears off, gradually appears to be the same.

Liliana and Ai kept guard in the room all day long, and Sephanny hadn't sent the information on controlling the monsters in the shadows she dreamed of, and she was still an ordinary person who had nothing to do with magic.

Although this mage's city is extremely lively because of the big exam, she couldn't get involved in it——she searched for some recruitment brochures of colleges and mage towers on a whim, but it turned out that the basic qualities of being an apprentice made her break out in cold sweat Dispelled the idea.

Fast short-term memory, extensive knowledge reserves, foundation of alchemy, experience in scroll transcription... She barely touched on the third item, and then looked at the test content...

Tina threw the booklet away after reading only the first item.

Even after becoming Liliana's liaison officer and then becoming her secretary, and becoming well-known in a certain circle in the City of Thousand Towers, her life has not changed drastically.

No, it's the same no matter where I am. The so-called life and daily life are such things.

Tina thought so.

In the novel, the life of a small event in three days and a big event in five days is in the final analysis a product of artistic processing, even the disguised thief who escaped from Flandia's house and the man named Cang Chengshi Even did not reappear at all.

The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

Celebrate peaceful everyday life.

Apart from praising her, all Tina could do was to wring her fingers and look forward to the arrival of a certain day.

——If there is no accident, I may have to wait until that day before I can see Liliana.

Thinking of this, Ting Na couldn't help complaining about the little girl who snatched the witch away from her.

And for that day, I still need to prepare some surprises.

——But what should we prepare for?

You can't ask me, right? Asking the elves... seems to be the same as asking me?

Thinking about these things, Tingna saw that she had only single-digit HP left, hesitated for a moment, and erected a wall of earth.

"Miss Tina really has a lot of resentment, um—"

Opposite her, Salamanda, who was lying on all fours on the desk, wagged her tail, put down a land card, thought for a while, then put down another Balrog, played a spell, and turned all the land cards to the side.

"This is Salamander's five consecutive victories—"

Black magic, demon sacrifice, exhaust all land cards, sacrifice a demon species, directly cause damage equal to attack power

"Ah, there is no counter card!!"

Playing magic cards with elves has also become Tina's daily routine.

Compared to when she first came into contact with the rules for mages instead of ordinary people, Tingna felt that she was much stronger. At least facing the most jumpy and sloppy Salamanda, she could stably limit the opponent's winning streak to less than 8 ...

Well, Tina knew she was weak.

Just when the girl thought that this kind of routine might last until the end of the first week of Moonless Moon, the Witch and the Doll showed up at the dinner table with Ai at lunch time.

"...I'm going to inspect [Fountain], do you want to come together?"

"certainly!"

Where Liliana was going, Tina didn't know.

However, being able to be with Liliana, just in this way, there is no other need to hesitate - even though the little girl who muttered that there is no time to waste also followed, just ignore it.

So, she came here.

【source】.

At first, the girl thought it was the source of the hot spring in Emerald Green, but it was wrong.

The ancient language magic empire is not only the highest peak of human magic civilization so far, but also an era of highly developed and developed art. As the most brilliant and important city of the ancient language magic empire, every city-state in the sky has been beautifully built.

This not only describes the city itself, but also describes the streets, buildings, bridges and vegetation in the city.

The palace named [Fountain] is naturally one of them.

"...The Faine River traverses the north and south of the city, and its seven tributaries are all over the surface of the city, and here is the source of the Faine River."

Standing by the embankment on the water's edge, Liliana held Alice in her arms, calmly gazing at the vast water reflecting the blue sky.

Tingna was born by the sea, and has seen the vast waters called the sea, but her knowledge of rivers is limited to the Baisha River.

It is a small river with a limited width. If there are too many fishing boats, cargo ships, and passenger ships, the river will become clogged.

But there is absolutely no such problem in this river. Tingna imagined that even if a hundred of the largest sea boats she had ever seen were arranged end to end, they could only cover a little more than half of the water surface here.

It's almost a flowing lake!

The Gothic building that looks like a church is located on the edge of the water. The huge and majestic building is part of the river embankment. Rows of giant dragon sculptures are listed on the walls along the river. The turbulent water gushes from the dragon's head. Bunches of water flow paved into magnificent waterfalls, roaring and falling, splashing snow-white droplets on the water surface.

This is the source. Liliana introduced to Tina and Ai,

"...This is one of the most important facilities in the City of Thousand Towers, providing 90% of the city's water. The water flowing directly from the water elemental plane is rich in magic power, and it is also an important magic structure in the city. Underground, ordinary people In places that cannot be seen, the large magic circle composed of countless canals is also one of the power sources for the city to float in the air."

"It's more spectacular than I imagined, well, it's not bad..."

Ai, who was still muttering things like "not enough time" and "Can I not go?" when she went out, is now standing in front of Liliana and Tingna, carefully lifting the black veil covering her face, and saying After such a sentence, "but it's still so big." In this way, I felt a little awkward.

"It is our honor to have you here, the seventh seat of Einstein."

Soon, people who came to greet them appeared.

When someone approached, Ai immediately lowered her veil, while Liliana raised a veil of the same style.

There was no welcoming ceremony, and there was no solemn welcome as Tingna imagined. Obviously Liliana did not want to make a big fuss. The middle-aged man who came to receive her knew her. He led them into the gate and came to a small path beside the gate.

As soon as I stepped on the path paved with square white stone slabs, the stone bricks under my feet moved.

"Wow!"

"Hey, be careful."

Ting Na's body jerked violently, if Ai hadn't pulled her in time, the girl would have fallen down in shame.

"Why, why did it move?!"

"This is the magic energy floating road that has been installed and used in recent years. It can save a lot of moving time. The source is the first batch of pilot buildings. After it has been used for several years and it is confirmed that there is no problem, this technology will be extended to the entire building. City."

After finally standing still, Ting Na turned her head, and the door was gradually moving away from her sight.

This self-moving road didn't stop because Ting Na was about to fall, and it was at a very fast speed. After a while, the hollow and carved iron gate of the source was close at hand.

After they approached, the door at the end of the mana floating passage also opened, passing through the dividing line between indoor and outdoor, the speed of the floating passage slowed down.

"The last time I saw the information on this technology was in a collection of papers, and the transmission problem had not been solved at that time."

"What should the lady be called?"

"Just call me an assistant."

"Then, Miss Assistant, guess what method was used to solve this?"

Ai seemed to be imitating Liliana to make her voice appear calm, but the girl's shrill and immature voice still couldn't suppress her curiosity about seeing novel things.

"Is... water?"

Ai stomped slightly.

"...That's right."

Miss Witch nodded.

It seemed that Ai was very happy to be recognized by the witch, so Ai, Liliana, and the middle-aged man who hadn't introduced himself now discussed topics that he didn't understand but felt particularly powerful anyway.

As for Tina herself...

When she was brought into this building by the floating road, she couldn't even express her amazement because of the scenery in front of her.

This is a palace built of dark marble and glass, and the clear water is the residents who walk freely. The walls, ceiling, and even the floor of the corridor are all in the same structure as the aquarium. The lights illuminate the waterway, and among the colorful corals and rocks of various shapes, there are sea monsters with names and names that cannot be named. The leisurely travel makes the girl who was born by the sea feel extra cordial.

"The source of water is the largest water source in the city of a thousand towers, and it is also the largest research facility for Jinggang, the water elemental plane, and then..."

The corridor has come to an end.

The vision suddenly widened.

"Please allow me to introduce [Blue Eye] to two strange ladies. This is the largest space door leading to Jinggang on the mainland."

In the atrium of the source, a piece of blue is vividly in front of you.

For a moment, Tingna thought that the emerald-like stone pillars were surrounded by a blue light curtain, which was indeed more in line with her impression-in fact, it was the description of the space gate in the novel.

But not right.

Most of the so-called magic novels whose authors are not magicians have once again proved that they are just the author's imagination in front of the real thing. The blue in the emerald stone ring is a clear water.

Clear and distant.

The waves are uneventful.

Is it a lake? Or a deep spring? Since this place is called Quanyuan, it should be the latter.

"so beautiful……"

With just one glance, the girl who walked down the magic energy floating path and looked down at the water from the platform directly above was fascinated by the spring that pierced through the bottom of the water.

The sun shines from the atrium and penetrates the deepest bottom of the water, like a crystal eye on the earth, the water surface is gazing at the blue sky of the city of thousand towers, and the bottom of the water is overlooking the bluer sky - another world, quietly Harbor sky.

She didn't know who named it the Blue Eye. But she can guarantee that there will not be a more appropriate and perfect name in this world.

"...Next, I'm going to the management and R\u0026D department, and there are still some meetings. Ms. Tingna, assistant, what are you going to do?"

"I'd like to visit it if I could, it's just—beautiful."

Alice gave Tina a hard look.

Stared viciously by those silver pupils, Tingna realized that her current identity is Liliana's secretary, and when Liliana was going to deal with meetings and some affairs, she was not following but thinking about traveling around , which is obviously very problematic behavior, however.

However, Tina couldn't wait any longer.

What does it take to inspire a passion for adventure?

A large amount of money, a reward of glory, a promise to leave a name through the ages?

No, not those.

All it takes is a stunning scene, and that's it.

"I, my words... just follow Miss Tina, lest she accidentally get lost or fall into the water."

Ai also fell into a trance for a long time while overlooking the blue eyes above the earth. Although the girl's tone seemed a bit troublesome, but...

"Sure enough, only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand how beautiful it is..."

Tina didn't miss the girl's muttering to herself.

Apparently, so did she.

"...I understand, this place is occasionally open to college students to visit, just don't go to some strange places."

The two companions were about to leave, and the silver-white eyebrows of the little puppet were raised high.

Liliana was as calm as ever. She took two simple rings from the middle-aged man—a passport in the style of a magician, and handed them to Tina and Ai. exist

Then.

"...the world is more important than books."

The witch calmly said this to the girl who seemed to be hesitating, and followed the middle-aged man on another road of magic energy floating.

So what's next... what to do?

There is a route map etched on a metal plate next to the magic energy floating road. When the ring is close, the names of different facilities will emit green or red light, and the places that can be visited and those that are forbidden to enter can be seen at a glance.

Monster Research Hall, Special Mineral Showroom, Jinggang Monster Taming Hall, Breeding and Training Area...

There are so many areas on this floor alone, which makes Ting Na eager to try.

"Where does Miss Ai want to go first?"

"whatever."

"Then let's go! First of all, the nearest monster research hall!"

……………………………………………………………………………………

It wasn't until her legs became weak that Ting Na gasped and stopped.

Ai, whose physical strength was even worse, was already out of breath.

"Take a break here and go somewhere else."

"Ha, ha, I'm not so tired that I can't walk. Did you, an adult, call for a rest first?"

The girl smiled provocatively at Tina.

"I said that because I saw that you were about to lose your hold!"

"It's just an excuse for being too tired, ha."

Ai raised her head proudly, and wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief. Seeing Ai's appearance, Ting Na twitched the corners of her mouth.

"...Forget it, whatever you say."

He simply gave up arguing and sat down on a rock on the purple sandy beach, which was as gorgeous as the sunset.

She knew that the more she argues at this time, Ai will only get more energetic. To deal with this charming young lady who is not short-tempered but not small, ignoring and responding is the easiest way to discourage her.

Sure enough, after he selectively ignored Ai's provocation, the girl's expression was as if she had punched the cotton, and her aggressive appearance suddenly collapsed.

After snorting a little depressed, she sat down on a small rock next to Tingna, rubbing her slender thighs wrapped in black stockings.

"Wow!"

Then immediately screamed.

Tina turned her head and saw a round head and elephant-like limbs protruding from the gray stone from under the sand.

Probably Ai's weight woke it up. The turtle stood up from the sandpit and walked towards the beach step by step.

"This is the Giant Rock Turtle? It's so small. Could it be that it hasn't changed its shell yet..."

Although the movements are naive, the turtle's footsteps are not slow at all, and it approached the junction of the beach and the coast in a short while.

Ai quickly jumped off its back, watching the turtle walk back into the sea step by step, the girl had a surprised expression on her face.

"Although it's a false sea, it is indeed more spectacular than the pictures in the book..."

Tina agrees with this statement.

Now, the place where the two are located is the Jinggang Monster Training Hall. After visiting the Monster Research Hall and the Special Monster Showroom, Tinna, who was dazzled by all kinds of monsters and the dazzling and beautiful ores and corals, went to When walking in here, the excited desire to explore was almost instantly buried by another faint thought.

The gorgeous sandy beach of lavender and light blue, the distant sea level, the water so clear that you can see through it at a glance, the sea water is the same as the blue eye...

"..."

The beach is not that sandy beach.

Sea water is not that sea water.

Even the sky and the horizon are but magical illusions.

But the sea is the sea.

Compared with the excitement of Ai who seemed to be seeing the sea for the first time, Tingna felt a little melancholy in her heart.

"...What's the matter? A blank expression."

Ai, who returned to Tina and sat down, frowned.

"Eh? No, I'm just a little, homesick..."

"……Yeah."

"Well, I will go home for a while in Advent Moon, and I have been away from my hometown for several months..."

"Is your hometown also by the sea? It's not such a fake sea, but a real ocean."

"That's right, beside Jinghai, it's a lively little town."

The salty smell in the sea breeze is completely different from what I remember.

This is the area where domesticated monsters from the water elemental plane are stocked. Although everything is different from what Tina remembers...but this does not hinder its beauty.

Scattered sea turtles nesting on the beach, a group of small crabs that seem to have been boiled emerge from the gravel soaked by the waves from time to time, and the big conch wriggles, and several soft tentacles are moved by it strength.

There are also seabirds that come down from time to time. These birds with bright feathers keep digging holes on the beach with their sharp beaks, and pull out a fat sandworm to swallow. There are also some smaller seabirds like parrots. Arrange the crystal-like shells in front of your eyes, one by one, two, three, four, and pick them up one by one. These shells, which Tina has never seen before, will open by themselves. fly away.

Although strange, although false, but still beautiful, this is the sea.

and……

"ah."

Tingna's eyes lit up, and she ran towards a bunker she hadn't noticed before, ignoring her tired legs.

"It's a seal!"

On the sand dunes not far away, Tina found a cute monster that she liked very much, but she couldn't see it at the seaside of the southern country.

—a group of chubby, fluffy baby seals.

The seals who were basking in the sun seemed to have sensed the girl's approach. They were not afraid of people at all. Even if Tingna walked to the edge of the dune, they just looked at the human who was caressing her companion with gentle movements with curious eyes, and let out a sigh. There was a clear and crisp cry.

... Is this how the seals cry?

Doubt did not linger in the girl's mind, and Tina was almost immediately overwhelmed by the fluffy, soft healing touch from her hand.

"Miss Tina likes seals..."

"I like it so much, it's docile, soft and chubby, it's simply the cutest monster in the sea!"

"...Well, it is indeed much better than those strange monsters in the deep sea...Although I have never seen it..."

Following Tina to the side of the group of seals, Ai thought for a while and agreed with this statement.

Most of the girls have no resistance to the fluffy and cute creatures. Seeing that Tina seems to be constantly improving her favorability through touching, and is gradually being surrounded by these cute little guys, Ai hesitated for a while.

Following Tingna's example, she hugged a baby seal that was jumping and basking in her arms, and stretched out her hand to stroke its soft fur.

Just at this time……

"This ring...is dear!"

"???"

Ai, who was rubbing the seal's little head, froze.

then.

"It really is this ring! Dear, dear, dear!!"

"Wow, wow!"

The seal in her arms kept thumping.

"Sea... the seal spoke?!"

This time, even Tina could hear clearly.

This sounded like the sound of water flowing—it came from the mouth of the seal that Ai was holding!

"I'm not a seal! I'm a siren, not a seal!"

"No matter how you look at it, it's a seal!"

Ting Na hurriedly ran to Ai's side from the group of seals, and caught the seal that was thrashing in her arms.

Shaking her head and flicking her tail, in Tingna's hands, the seal became even more fussy.

"That's why I'm a siren! A member of the noble Jinlin clan, how can it be a seal, which looks harmless to humans and animals, and even penguins... Wait a minute."

Suddenly, it became quiet, and its round head looked at Ai, and then flicked its tail in front of itself.

"...It seems that in order to escape the pursuit of those terrible staff, I really turned into a seal and hid here..."

"..."

"..."

"Ah, wait a minute, dear, I'll change right back!"

As soon as the words fell, in Tingna's hands, the fluffy and soft little seal immediately turned into a puddle of water and splashed on the beach.

"?!"

The expressions of Ting Na and Ai immediately changed from speechless to astonished.

This didn't last long, the water that fell on the beach was not absorbed by the lavender sand grains, and the crystal clear water just swirled up in an instant, not for a while.

A slender girl appeared in front of Tina and Ed.

With golden curly hair and golden pupils, the face of Tingna, who is also a woman, can't help but her chest twitches like water waves. The graceful curves run from the slender neck along the soft back to the waist. There--

Tina couldn't help rubbing her eyes.

A long snake tail with beautiful golden scales is refracting a gorgeous halo under the sun of Saigon.

"Honey, I'm back!"

From a seal to a beautiful woman with a snake tail, the girl who called herself a siren couldn't wait to rush towards Ai who had just stood up again, but it was halfway.

The golden eyes suddenly opened wide.

"No, I... I remembered."

The sea monster looked at Ai who subconsciously avoided her and got behind Tingna, and muttered to himself.

"You're not my darling! You're not so short, darling! You're not so thin either!"

--Snapped.

Ting Na seemed to hear the sound of veins bulging.

"Of course not! Who are you!"

"Why do you have darling rings!"

"It's just a pass!"

"What is that! Where did you hide my dear!"

Tina felt her head start to ache.

The conversation couldn't be established at all, and she didn't know what happened. Ai and the siren lady had an inexplicable conversation, and all of this made Tina's headache index continue to rise.

and--

"Unidentified intruder sensed, unknown intruder sensed—"

Tina pressed her forehead.

The situation seems to be developing in a more troublesome direction.

………………………………………………………………………………………

"...Miss Tina."

"It's not me this time!"

When the witch spoke with a somewhat helpless expression, Ting Na immediately defended herself.

"This time it really has nothing to do with me! It's because of Ai—"

"It was Miss Tina who proposed the excursion."

"And it was Miss Tingna who rushed into the seal group, right?"

"Goo—"

But immediately fell silent under the double blow of Alice and Ed.

"In this case, I would like to thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long it would take to get news from my dear—"

"Even if I say that, I can't be happy..."

Being brought before Liliana by a group of heavily armed guards, Tingna felt physically and mentally exhausted. A series of recent events had shaken her perception that she was just an ordinary person.

——Could it be that he has a physique like the protagonist of a novel who goes wherever he goes?

"...To put it simply, Miss Siren...were you already here a few years ago?"

While Tina was in a state of confusion, the witch turned her gaze back to the opposite side of the desk.

"That's right, because the appointed day is coming soon but my dear hasn't come to me yet, so I'm here to find my dear!"

The race is Siren, the name is Siren, and the specific classification is Golden Scale Siren. On the mainland, this is a beautiful monster as famous as mermaid. Hearing Liliana's question, Miss Siren, who sat on the chair and was looking around curiously, wagged her tail and answered quickly.

It didn't take much time to calm down the dear siren lady and explain the ins and outs. When she was so pale that she couldn't speak, Liliana lifted the black veil on her face, and the magic charm was easily released. Let Miss Witch gain her trust and know everything.

Decades, almost a hundred years ago, she met a human in the sea monster's hometown.

Handsome and humorous, he knows a lot of things that the sea monster who has never left the peaceful ocean does not know, the most important thing is the man who can play the lute well, and soon fascinated the young lady siren Fascinated.

However, human beings will soon return to the human world.

And the young sea monster couldn't leave the settlement—it wasn't impossible, it was just that she was still a little too young at that time.

——In that case, just make an appointment and go together when we meet next time. If you want to come find me, I’m in the city of a thousand towers.

So, the man said so, and in accordance with human customs, he hooked up with her and left.

How long after that time, Miss Siren herself forgot, but she remembered that it was before the next aurora night in Jinggang, a long, long time later.

Therefore, Miss Siren has never been in a hurry.

until a few years ago.

"The night of the aurora is coming in a few years. Rather than waiting for my dear to come to me, I want to take the initiative to find him. But I am not familiar with the mainland, so I want to use a few years in advance as a buffer."

But just like most of her kind, Miss Siren, who spent all these years in singing and art instead of learning to fight and protect herself, was not allowed to leave the settlement.

I couldn't help but want to see my dear Miss Siren. She was very dissatisfied with this. After thinking about it for half a year, she took the risk and found a chance to pass through the blue eyes and...

Hunted down as an illegal trespasser, just like today.

This is of course, there are regulations on the contact between the elemental plane and the mainland. Entering the mainland without going through the management agencies of Jinggang and Quanyuan, such smuggling incidents have always been guarded by magicians desperately. After all, no one can guarantee From across the world are kind communicators, harmless monsters, dangerous viruses, and evil demons.

In short, Miss Siren was terrified when she first appeared in the spring source facility when she heard the ear-piercing roar. She was at a loss and had no choice but to use the natural ability of the siren to become a seal to deceive the guards and guard magic, and has been hiding in the In Jinggang Monster Training Hall.

This hiding is several years.

"...The sea monster is the descendant of Undine and sea monsters. The concept of time is very close to that of the elemental elves... Simply put, it is insensitive to the passage of time."

Miss Witch explained it as if it didn't surprise her.

Ting Na was sweating coldly, but Ai didn't know why her face was full of approval and approval.

Alice shook her head.

"Obviously, you are a stowaway, Miss Siren. According to the regulations, you will be sent back to Jinggang, your tribe."

"no!"

Miss Doll screamed after finishing talking about the siren.

"If I'm sent back, I won't see my dear!"

"Go back and wait obediently for him to come to see you, can't you?"

"But I can't wait to see my darling!"

"Then go back and convince your tribe to allow you to go out, and meet here through formal means. The Aurora Night will not end until next summer, and you still have plenty of time."

The willful noise like a child could not break Alice's businesslike indifference expression at all. Stared at by the sterling silver pupils, she seemed to be able to feel the coldness contained in the metallic luster. lowered his head.

"Please, don't send me back..."

The beautiful girl begged in a low voice.

"turn down."

Alice was completely unmoved, she glanced at the middle-aged man who had been nearby, he nodded, turned and left.

Probably, they went to deal with the deportation procedures.

After hesitating for a while, Ting Na didn't speak.

No matter what the original intention is, if the method is wrong, it will be difficult to get a good result in the end. This Miss Siren is a smuggler, and it is also the job of the source organization to deal with it.

If you speak casually, it will make it difficult for Liliana, and...

"Speaking of which, the night of the aurora is..."

"...Jinggang is extremely close to the Light Elemental Plane River of Morning Light once in hundreds of years. At night in Jinggang, countless auroras will sprinkle in the sky. It is very beautiful. Calculate it carefully..."

Miss Witch looked at Ai thoughtfully.

"...It has already begun."

"Has it already started?!"

Miss Siren suddenly raised her head, her golden eyes were filled with tears at some point.

"It's already started, if you can't find my dear before the end, the promise can't be fulfilled..."

...Speaking of which, in order to avoid being hunted down, this Miss Siren has indeed been hiding for several years.

Leaving from Jinggang several years ahead of time, and delaying here for several years, the buffer time has been offset.

"Well, Miss Alice..."

Just at this time.

Ai spoke.

"...?"

"Well, although I just read about it in the book... the repatriation across the plane actually requires a lot of procedures, at least one or two days, if the management agency at Jinggang is a little bit delayed, it is possible for more than a week ..."

"...Ah, although the institutions over there are also managed by humans, they are all magicians doing research and part-time administrators. If they all happen to be in the laboratory...it may take a week."

"In that case, Miss Siren will stay here anyway. In that case...let her move freely temporarily and find her lover...isn't that okay? According to Miss Siren, that person should be in Qianta The city is right."

"Yes! My dear said he is in the city of a thousand towers—this is the city of a thousand towers, right!"

"...You don't even know where this is, so you came here through the blue eyes..."

In addition to indifference, Miss Puppet looked at the sea monster with more pity now.

However, she didn't make a decision about it. Turning her face, Alice looked at Liliana who tilted her head slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

"Lily, what should I do?"

"...Let's do this. Anyway, during the detention period, here will also give a temporary residence permit. Until the time of deportation, you can go to your lover, um."

Miss Witch nodded, and looked at Tinna and Ai who was thrown down by the weeping siren and thanked desperately.

"...with Miss Tina and Ai."

"……Eh?"

……………………………………………………………………………………

Postscript of a certain day:

"Wait, wait a minute, Einstein, why do you want me..." "It's your proposal, isn't it?" "But I don't need to implement it! There is not much time left for the project, six I have barely mastered half of the first big magic, and I haven't mastered the light, ocean, and sky systems yet..." "... Correspondingly, the date of the assessment will be postponed, don't worry." "...In that case, it would be meaningless... "...?" "No, it's nothing, I... I see..."
