There it was, the monster that we had been looking for. It was currently wandering around on its lonesome, on a cliff underneath us. It was still not alerted to our presence. Looking at it from a distance, it looked just like the mountain lions that we had faced before in this trip. The only thing that was different was …

For the rest of the summer, as usual, I practiced magic with Marina. It turned out that she had mastered her second Master-level spell, which was another Earth spell that created a deep and large pit that I couldn’t even see the bottom of. If I had to estimate, the hole, which wasn’t perfectly square or round, was around 50 …

Hugo Haah…. I sighed yet again. For what must be the 20th time now. As you can see, I am quite in the dumps right now. And as you can probably guess, it’s because of Sherry. Her letters… they came less and less frequent as the months went by. And I expected them to stop coming entirely soon enough.  And …

Marina Aah, what a terrible mess this has become… To think that out of the blue, we’re going to get more information on the necromancer like this… I naively thought that they would just have given up on her seeing how she had fled to the Holy Continent, but of course they wouldn’t. She had murdered the granddaughter of a …

Sherry Our first destination was Mira, the capital of the Magocracy. We alternated between walking and running, me with my feet and her using her wind spell. I knew however that my stamina was no match compared to her mana capacity. When I got tired, she clearly could still get going. But she was patient with me, telling us that …

Myrilla came early in the morning, before breakfast. One look at Sherry was enough to tell her that she had accepted her offer. “Get ready,” she told her. “We’ll depart after breakfast.” Sherry then came out with a bag filled with her clothes from her room, putting it in the corner of the room as she had her breakfast. Mother …

When we got back home, naturally, we received a scolding from Mother, for returning covered in blood from top to bottom. To my pleasant surprise, it wasn’t as long as I expected it would be, knowing her. She scolded me more than Sherry too, which I found unfair at first, until I realized it’s because she didn’t want to treat …

Myrilla didn’t come at breakfast, so at the very least, we could have a relatively peaceful meal early in the morning, even if my tongue couldn’t really taste anything Mother had cooked. I noticed that Sherry was just as nervous as me, just from the fact that she didn’t ask for an extra omelette like she usually did. Just after …

In the end, Sherry didn’t come out for the rest of the day. Only around the evening, near dinner time, she left her room, heading straight to the bathroom. Before I could catch up to her, she already closed and locked the door behind her. I was pretty sure she intentionally sped up her walk just so she could avoid …

As we had hoped, and expected, the trial next day went as smoothly as it could. In fact, it went so smoothly, we pretty much only sat in the court for ten minutes at the very most. Our opponent didn’t even bother coming. Heh, he knew he had no chance to win in the slightest. Of course, Father had given …
