It's been a month since I promised Sara. It was a fateful time when I might lose one of my students in my future life. I nervously and timidly asked Sara what she was going to do, and she simply replied that she would stay with me without showing any signs of worry. I'm happy for her, but a little worried because she said it so easily.

"......Sarah, you know, I'm glad you're with me, but have you really thought this through? You finally met your brother, and now you won't be able to see him again for a while. Of course, I will visit the Kingdom of Rosophia regularly because of Sara and the ruins, but not too often, okay? You won't regret it?"

I should have just said, "OK, I understand," but I just kept asking more questions. If Sara's opinion changes, I will probably regret it for the rest of my life.

Also, ...... being happy to be with a girl, ...... just smells like a crime. If someone who doesn't know what's going on asks me about it, I'm sure they'll report me.

"Of course I've given it serious thought. I've talked about it with your brother many times and came to this conclusion. Do you think it's better for me to stay here, ...... master? Is that a nuisance?"

Perhaps I had asked the wrong question, but Sara's expression turned uneasy. Perhaps I made it seem as if I was not welcoming Sara's continuation as an apprentice by reminding her of this.

......We have to clear up this misunderstanding, or it might leave a scar on Sara's heart.

"No, I'm more than happy to have Sara with me. I was thinking that I could somehow persuade Sara to come with me, or if not possible, at least as a long-distance brother, but Sara's easy answer to come with me made me worried. I really don't think Sara is bothering you at all."

I feel like I said something I didn't need to say to clear up a misunderstanding.

"You were thinking of that much for me. Thank you, master.

Sara thanked me a little shyly. Yeah, it's embarrassing. I've revealed to her that I've been thinking of all kinds of things to keep her in the program. I'm sorry for being such a stupid master.

"Uh-huh. Well, it's natural for a master to think about his students. Don't worry about it too much."

Forget about it if you can.

"Thank you. I'm sorry for your concern. Shall I explain to you how I came to my conclusion?"

"......Yes. That would make me feel a lot more comfortable."

I'm kind of in the mindset that it's all right if he continues to be my apprentice, but not asking is not an option in this situation.

By the way, I feel that Sara's words are becoming a little more formal, as if meeting her brother reminded her of her days as an aristocrat. It's not a bad thing to be polite, but how is it for a child?

"Well, let me explain."

"Oh, yes."

First of all, let's listen to what they have to say. The formalities will return to normal when we leave this country. Maybe .......

...... Sarah's explanation is over. She had thought it through better than I had expected.

No, really, she thought it over very well. Even taking into account the fact that Ms. Viktor's opinion was included in the presentation, I think she was thinking more carefully than I was when I was looking for a job, right?

It was just embarrassing that the first thing he explained to me was the favor he received from me. Good food, a warm place to sleep, and adventurer's gear made Sara happier than I had imagined.

Next, we talked about her future growth as a spiritist, and the paradise where she could meet with Fuchu and Puru. The relationship with Gina and the others.

Then, after a preface that this is going to sound a bit condescending, he mentioned the income of an A-rank adventurer, the titles of his disciples, and his personal connections.

I don't know about the income, but my apprentice's title sounds infamous, and his connections are also impressive. I don't want to take advantage of him, but he is connected to the king, and if we include the king of spirits in his connections, it would be great.

The reason why I don't see Mr. Viktor and his friends often is because I was prepared not to see them anymore, but now that I know where they are and I can see them occasionally, it's enough for me. It may seem a bit dry, but maybe that's how it is with former nobles.

"I didn't think Sara had thought this through. I was a little surprised."

If you've given this much thought to your choices, you won't regret anything half-hearted. Now it's up to me to do my best.

At the very least, I'll be able to live a life where I don't have to worry about money. ...... No, you've already become an adventurer at a level where you don't have to worry about money. Huh? I don't think there's much left for me to do. Just stand on my own when I get older?

"Well, it's true that I thought about it a lot, but I decided to follow Master for a simple reason."

"Simple reason?"

What do you mean? What was that long explanation about?

"Yes. Yes, for a simple reason. I love you, Master, sister Gina, Marco, Kikka, Sylphy and all the big spirits, Belle and all the lower spirits, Fuchu and all the floating spirits, sister Meru, Meral, Ruby and all the higher spirits, paradise, everything. I wanted to stay with them forever. Master, please continue to take care of me."

Sarah, with a big smile on her face, straightens her back and bows her head deeply.

What is she doing here, trying to make me cry at the very end? My lacrimal gland is on the verge of breaking down, you know?

"Well, I thought you were a good girl to begin with, but you seem to be a real spiritist who can communicate with spirits properly. Yuta, you took a good boy as your apprentice. Well, I'm the one who found Sara and the others.

Even Sylphy, who was listening to the conversation next to me, said something that almost destroyed my tear gland. However, my tear gland was restored a little by the last self-praise of Sylphy. I'm going to finish the story without crying. I'm on the edge, so it's a game of speed.

"Sarah, lift up your head!"

I call out to Sarah, who is bowing her head. Oh my God, my voice is shaking a little. My eyes are getting watery and we are seriously running out of time.

"Sara. Sara knows that I took Sara and the others as my apprentices in order to make them reevaluate their skills as a spiritualist. But I was quite happy and happy to watch Sara and the others grow up after I took them on. So ...... well, it's my pleasure, and I look forward to working with you in the future."

It is more embarrassing than you think to talk honestly with a child, not in a normal conversation, not to teach, not to scold, not to tease, but to talk about your true feelings. I'm probably blushing right now.

My face is turning red in addition to my lachrymal gland collapsing, isn't my face in a bad shape now?

"Yes! Please take care of me!"

"Well then, Gina and the others are probably worried about you, so tell them you're coming with me. They'll be happy."

You must leave as soon as possible. Your master's dignity is on the verge of collapse.

"Well, I've talked to your sisters Gina and the others about all this, so they know I'm going with you, right?"

"...... but still, it's only just been decided. You should inform your valued associates."

Yes, I understand. I'll let them know.

As soon as Sara leaves the room and closes the door, my tear gland collapses.

"Sylphy ......"

"Yuta, are those tears tears of joy at your disciple's words? Or are they tears of sadness because everyone but you already knew how Sarah felt and you were out of the mosquito net?"

Oh, the contracted spirits are coming to gouge out my heart precisely. Sounds like a lot of fun.

"...... Well, I guess we're both having fun."

I was supposed to be in tears of joy until about halfway through, but when I heard that Gina and the others knew about it, I felt very sad.

I was also a little surprised when I heard the Kansai dialect saying, "You know them in your heart, don't you? I'm not from Kansai.

Well, Sara is still a child, though she has a firm grasp on things. An adult who can read the air would have just said "I understand" and left the room without saying anything else.

I thought I have little to teach her, but I think I can teach her the skill of reading the air.

Oh, I stopped crying. I think I could have still cried if I had only cried tears of emotion, but the sadness topped at the end seems to have canceled it out.

"Yuta, summon Vita!"

"What? Why?"

I'm not hurt, and I'm not in bad shape, okay?

"Are you going to go out in front of Gina and the others with those bloodshot eyes? They'll know you've been crying, won't they?"

I see, your eyes are bloodshot. It's been so long since I've cried that I'd forgotten about that possibility.

It would ruin my efforts to hold back my tears in front of Sara if she finds out I've been crying with bloodshot eyes.

Vita's summons ...... scared me a little last time, but this time it's for a good reason, so ...... it's okay, right?

**

It's been three days since I heard Sarah's heartfelt words. It was time to take care of the little things and return to paradise.

Now Mr. Victor himself has come to see me off and is saying goodbye to Sara, so I'm waiting quietly.

I talked a lot with Mr. Viktor about Sara and the ruins, and he seems to be a good brother who cares about his sister despite his powerful appearance. He is the type of strong man who is popular among women because of his gap. I envy him. Oh, Mr. Viktor came this way.

"Mr. Yuta! I owe you a debt of gratitude that I can never repay. I know it's presumptuous of me to say this, but please take good care of Sara for me.

Mr. Viktor grabs both my hands firmly and asks me with passionate eyes. The pressure is too much.

"Leave it to me. I will raise you to be a great spiritualist.

We nodded slowly to each other, keeping eye contact with Mr. Viktor. What is this situation? Perhaps I was caught up in Mr. Viktor's feelings, but the atmosphere was very gymnastic.

"Well, I'm going to leave soon. I will come back with Sarah and the others.

I don't want to be taken in by the gymnastics, so I calm my heated feelings and greet my departure.

I am looking forward to it. I will show you the results of my work on the ruins, so please look forward to them.

Yes, I'm looking forward to it. See you soon.

Whew, we can finally leave. This trip has been strangely tiring, even with a vacation in between. When we return to paradise, shall we take it easy for a while and focus on pioneering?
