Dominic looked at me with glassy eyes as if he had seen through my thoughts and nodded again.

 

"Yeah. I'm worried about you. You... Seriously. Can you stay alone well?"

 

Come to think of it, after meeting Dominic, I think this will be the first time I will be separated from him.

 

I stick out the tip of my tongue, wetting my lips, and looked at him.

 

"I don't want to say goodbye."

 

I didn't have a family in my previous life. Then, I became possessed by Meldenique's body, but that was no family.

 

To me, Dominic was like a family I met for the first time. Strangely affectionate emotions rushed in slowly like a river wave.

1

It was tik ticking, hiding my raw emotions.

 

"·····But I'm not six years old. And I'll see you again in a few days."

 

"Is it a curse or something, that's annoying, too. I'm upset because I don't know when your enemies will be here."

 

You are speaking like an older brother, but I swallowed my words. Because if I said that, he would almost certainly stir-fry me with worrying nagging.

 

Well, Dominic lived over a thousand years ago, so it may be natural to worry about me.

 

I tapped Dominic's shoulder and continued to talk coolly.

 

"It's okay. I have someone to protect me for the time being."

 

I slowly took out the wooden model bird in my dress pocket.

 

It was handed over by a man who said he was on the same side as me.

 

'Can I really trust Isaac completely.'

 

It's not blood and it's not tied to a contract like Dominic.

 

But there will be no other alternative. My only close friend, Dominic, has to go all the way to the estate.

 

"Relax and come back."

 

"......"

 

"Have a safe trip, my closest hero."

 

Even at my words, Dominic had a somewhat dissatisfied expression on his face.

 

"The person who protects you, is it that dog that came to the Stationery Store a while ago?"

 

"Yes."

 

"······It's not good."

 

Dominic's expression hardened bluntly.

 

"I don't like dogs because their skin is dark."

7

Dominic shook his head unevenly and soon stopped.

 

"......Do you like black skin?"

 

I blinked and smiled.

 

"I just like handsome looks."

 

It was the best if he had a good body.

 

Dominic looked at me untrustingly and nailed me.

 

"But just in case, don't brag too much about it, okay?"

 

I nodded at Dominic's stern words.

 

"Yes, I'm just going to ask him to teach me alchemy."

 

"·······Yeah, just use it. I'll bring all your blood relatives, so wait for me."

 

"Okay!"

 

I simply accepted Dominic's words. Since Isaac and I are only in a strategic partnerships anyway.

 

 

 

·····Or so that's what I thought.

 

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

 

After Dominic left that day, Isaac came to me.

 

The first floor of the stationery store, which seemed to have been completely struck by lightning, was rebuilt and carefully checked.

 

'I'm going to get money from the Duke of Vaveloa, but I'll have to pay this man as a wage.'

 

I seriously admired his muscles as he rolled up both arms of his shirt.

 

'But can you be by my side every day?'

 

Is the Tower Master a hidden honey workplace. Otherwise, he won't be able to come in the morning to help with the stationery store.

 

I asked him with a suspicious face.

 

"Have you ever given up your seat as a Tower Master?"

 

"I'm thinking of putting it down soon."

 

He smiled and looked at me.

 

'Oh, is that so?'

 

It's a bit of a joke, but I couldn't imagine this man obsessing over one title.

 

Since this happened, it would not be bad to flatter hard and have him sign a whole life contract as my teacher.

 

If you learn alchemy from this man, you may soon become the strongest alchemist in the world.

 

It's the left magic tower, the right magic sword.

 

The scale seemed to be getting bigger, so I felt a little burdened.

 

But this is a big picture to punish the cheating man and spread my stationery store to all academies.

 

"Good. Please tell me about alchemy!"

 

He nodded his head.

 

I tapped my leg on the floor while sitting on the roundtable of the stationery store.

 

So, if I could express my opinion more specifically:

 

"I want to broaden my horizons!"

 

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

 

In a little bit.

 

Isaac held a book on the round table and faced Meldenique.

 

Seeing Meldenique's ambitious eyes suddenly made me feel better.

 

She continued to chatter sincerely.

 

It was clearly visible that she was trying to show me as best as she could to find out her alchemy abilities.

 

It was a very snobbish attitude.

 

"First of all, you need to know yourself well."

 

"My name is Meldenique, and I originally belonged to the Vaveloa family, but now we are separated. I think I am about 167 centimeters tall, and my hair, as you know, is blonde, but I work hard to take good care of it, hmm....... What else do you want to know?"

 

·····I didn't mean this.

 

He asked her to tell him about her mana, but she seems to have misunderstood.

 

But he didn't feel bad listening to her story, so Isaac asked again.

 

"What else is there?"

 

He gave a light and cool answer and fluttered through a few books on alchemy that he had brought from the tower.

 

"Ah, I can't tell you where my money is, or my overflowing wonderful ideas."

 

Isaac's hand, which was turning over the book pages, slowed down.

 

"What can Melenique give me?"

 

Meldenique looked at him and said with a forced smile.

 

"Oh, my small and precious heart?"

1

Isaac turned his head. Trying to hold back his laughter.

 

She stands out like a hopping rabbit. She doesn't know where to rob.

 

'You're so cute.'

 

He has felt the sympathy of seeing small and delicate things.

 

However, I have never seen a small animal such as a cat or a dog or a small child and thought that they were cute.

 

Meldenique resembles a pure white snow rabbit with white fur and without the red eyes.

 

It feels like a rabbit that lives in the wild without being touched by humans.

 

When I was with her, who was warm and honest like the sun, my mood naturally drew upward and downward curving to match her emotions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'I'm thinking about following my heart and doing everything I like.'

 

'Yes, go ahead!'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meldenique's bright and cheerful short answer wandered into my ears.

 

He was always bothered to move his mind. Since he was very young, he has suffered constant ups and downs of emotions.

 

Naturally, he had no choice but to prefer a peaceful situation.

 

'He was just letting everything go the natural way.'

 

If you live, you live, if you die, you die. He was like that......

 

He looked toward Meldenique, who was smiling brightly.

 

'I'm going to follow my heart this time.'

 

Her inner feelings were transparently read through the green eyes that reflected kindness and expectation.

 

"I'll do my best today! Handsome Tower Master!"

 

Even he knows that the word is a kind of lip service.

 

When I heard from others that I was handsome, I used to pass it without much expectation.

 

"Yes."

 

He rolled his eyes down as the afternoon sun shattered the light.

 

Someone who talks about their dream without hesitation and gets what they want.

 

Seeing her, I couldn't think of anything for the first time today.

 

A calm serenity came to the lake of thoughts in my head, where something was constantly coming to mind.

 

All kinds of noise that interfered with a peaceful daily life subsided and I just felt calm.

 

At the first feeling he felt, he quietly held his chin and looked at her.

 

When I see you, my eyes turn away, and at night when we don't meet, I feel strange.

 

Meldenique, who did not know his mind, shouted loudly.

 

"Lord, let us begin now!"

 

He was going to start training and get to know her gradually.

 

If that happens, the wave of emotions will naturally decrease. Because I wasn't curious about Meldenique herself.

 

But wait a minute.

 

"......What did you just say, Lord?"

+

"Ah, it's the abbreviation of Tower Master! How is it? Now that we have a strategic partnership, we need to decide on a nickname as well."

 

I can't believe she already picked a nickname.

 

Laughter erupted from his attitude like a ball that didn't know where to blow.
