Swords
A month passed since Asch became the Hogner Magic Academy special class’ teacher-in-charge. His lessons have many Renegade Ideology elements as always, and there are naturally backlashes as well (especially Lily), but there’s not a single student who miss a word of those stimulating lessons.
“Aah! It pisses me off it pisses me off it pisses me off! What’s with that fellow……”
Lily, who continues walking down the corridor with her shoulders obviously lifted. Cis is beside her comforting her with a smile.
“Now, now. Asch-sensei didn’t have any bad intention eith――”
“Of course he has! He has a whole lot of it, you know, a whole lot of it!”
During the lesson just now, the narcissistic Magician was bragging on and on about himself in the lesson called Renegade Ideology’s history. It’s a parade of satire and sarcasm at Lily, who spoke up against him. Lily, who had nowhere to direct her anger from having her argument torn apart by the ill-natured Magician in the end she is.
“But, after all is said and done, towards Lily, Asch-sensei too――”
“I, idiot! There’s no way, right! That fellow hates me. He loathes me. It, it doesn’t matter though. I can’t be bothered with that fellow either”
“Lily, your face is like an apple again, you know”
“……whatever”
Lily, who puffed up her cheeks, is becoming increasingly like an apple.
Because the weather today is good, with a basket filled with sandwiches in one hand, the two of them plan to have lunch in the courtyard, which they don’t usually do.
As they go out to the courtyard, they discover Asch, who’s lying on a hammock under a large parasol.
“……what’s that fellow doing”
As Lily mutters annoyedly,
“Sunbathing”
“Mi, Mira-san!”
Mira, who was there behind Lily and Cis before they know it. The usual indifferent tone with that lack of expression.
“If both of you would also like”
Saying that, she pours and offers café au lait to Lily and Cis.
“Th, thank you. Erm, have Mira-san……been with Asch-sensei long?”
Lily asks timidly.
“……are you interested in Asch-sama?”
“Id……I, I am just a little curious”
“It was 80 years ago, that that person created me”
“That long……”
“That person before that, that person does not really want to talk about it. He had apparently apprenticed under an individual called Hazen-sensei, the same teacher as Lioar-sama though”
“Hazen……is it that!?”
Hazen＝Heim. He’s an Archimage the likes of which whose name constantly comes up as one of the greatest Magician in history. A legendary individual who’s said to have had controlled Holy Dark Magic, an amalgamation of Holy and Dark element that only he, who subjugated an Archdragon, can handle.
“Lily-sama, Cis-sama. Just one thing……it may seem impertinent, but may I offer just one piece of advice?”
“Ye, yes. What is it?”
“You must not trust that person”
“It, it is fine. I will not trust someone like that”
Lily strongly agreed.
“You must not rely on that person”
“I got it. I will promise that much”
“You must not devote your feelings to that person”
“Er, erm. Why is Mira-san talking about Asch-sensei in such a manner”
Cis asked unconfidently.
“You must not try to guess that person’s feelings”
“Mi, Mira-san?”
“You must not try to find out about what that person is thinking”
“”……””
Both of them sensed that something abnormal happened to her.
“You must not trust that person. You must not rely on that person. You must not devote your feelings to that person. You must not open yourself up to that person.

“Fuu……the flow of Magic Power went haywire……huh!”
Asch places his hand on Mira’s heart and pours a black light in.
“……Asch-sama. Is something wrong?”
Mira comes to her senses and blinks those black eyes of hers in wonder.
“Good grief……you end up frightening the ladies, haven’t you”
Lily and Cis, they were looking at Mira with pale expressions.
“Is that so. I ended up scaring you huh. My apologies”
Mira bowed deeply at the two of them.
“But……Lily-sama, Cis-sama”
“Mira, let’s go then”
She was about to say something to the girls, but Asch gently lends her his shoulder and walks. From the perspective of people who don’t know the circumstances, the two looked like an extraordinarily compatible pair of lovers.
