“Alan!” I waved a hand as Alan approached me on his horse. His face looked serious. “Kiara. It looked you had fainted and…what!? What are you carrying!” Alan had attempted to grab me by the arm, but he caught sight of my earthen master, who was under my arm, and he pulled back in surprise.…
Allow Me To Introduce To You, My Master Well, leaving master Horace’s outward appearance aside, there were a few things I wanted to confirm. “Uh, master Horace?” “Master? Ehehehe.” Perhaps he was pleased to be called ‘master,’ because the reddish brown figurine wriggled happily. It seemed that he was at least capable of moving…
Magician’s Contract As if he could no longer maintain the power to fly, the old magician floated back towards the ground. Then another arrow caught him in the back. “What!?” I couldn’t immediately understand what was happening. A third arrow was let loose. This one would have pierced into the old magician’s head,…
Monster Slaying One bag per person. They were not large, these separate bags that the group carried as they set off, the morning sunlight at their backs. “They are heavy for being so small…” “Is your one powder? Mine is very coarse like it could scratch up my armor.” “My bag looks like…meat?” The soldiers…
If messengers were sent out immediately, they would be able to gather another six thousand from nearby territories in two days. In three days, that number could be ten thousand. The lands here had known war for a very long time, and so it was not too difficult to recruit men. However, according to the…
The Reason I am Here Margrave Vayne had immediately sent out a scouting party. While they waited for the party to return with information that proved that the man’s confession was true, the Margrave wanted to make a report and discuss the situation with Reggie.

Perhaps it was because I was thinking of such things as I walked. I returned to my room as usual and let out a deep sigh. Just then there was a knock on the door and I opened it without even thinking. “Yes, who is… Ahh!” “There is no point in confirming it after you’ve…
-And the Bell of Fate Rings- Reggie arrived during that same night. It was Margrave Vayne, Madame Beatrice, who had thankfully recovered enough to walk, Alan and his knights and I and the other handmaidens who went out to greet him. Reggie showed up on horseback, dashing through the darkness of the night. Unlike previous…
-How to Become a Magician- “I can’t bear the stone?” The old man had quite the eerie way of laughing and would insult me as well. But he answered my questions with surprising honesty. …Perhaps he was a good person. Or maybe he had just given up after being caught? I wasn’t quite sure,…

“Was this…magic?” Even if I couldn’t use it, I had still felt the abnormalities of the wind wolves and the failed magicians. And though it was faint, I knew that this sensation was similar. “Would I find a magician if I followed in this direction?” As soon as this thought came to me,…
A Collaborator and a Clue “But, it could really happen…” I pleaded, but Alan’s expression would not change. “You never did believe in the Eremia faith. When you were being brought over here, your prayers during meals were incredibly careless. You’ve never once talked about dreams or visions until now. You constantly avoid…

Even if she had been dealt scrapes and small injuries before, the former queen had never been hurt so badly that she could barely walk. Margrave Vain’s…
The incident that occurred too early Author: Kanata “Mother!” Alan immediately ran towards her and slashed at the wolf. The beast howled and jumped back; a stream of blood now running down its body. It kept a distance now, looking at them them. Madame Beatrice had stood up, but her leg appeared to…
