That day, I was with Gui-Kun, who had performed poorly on his written test.
It was a study-date, so to speak.
EMMA : Okay, let's start with some questions from the textbook.
GUI : Yes, yes…..! Thank you so much!
EMMA : What three ingredients do you need to make a blinding magic potion?
GUI : Let's see: …… Cat's whiskers, kurayami extract, and apple peels that have been dried out for at least three days….?

EMMA : Correct! Next question then.
EMMA : When incorporating a mirror into a grimoire, one must be careful not to…
GUI : Always remove rust and do not use it at night!
EMMA : (He answered that immediately…….!)
EMMA : Ahaha, you really are perfect when it comes to magical tools.
EMMA : So, the next question is……
EMMA : ……Correct, again! We've come a long way, let's take a break, shall we?
GUI : Yes, yes~…… My head was starting to hurt, I'm saved.
EMMA : There's a lot to learn when you're studying both magic and sorcery.
GUI : That's right~ I wish I could learn some magic that would make me good at remembering things.
EMMA : Fufu, that would be really convenient. Is there really such a thing?
GUI : …… When I asked my magic teacher before he said, "Do you want to try engraving magic formulas directly into your brain?"
GUI : I think he was joking, but….. I was a little scared and declined.
EMMA : (If he's talking about Est-San….. Maybe he was serious.)
EMMA : …… I guess in the end, the best thing to do is to stay focused on your studies.
GUI : Yes, that could be it!
I reached out to pick up a pen that had fallen to the floor.
Gui reached out, too, and our hands overlapped each other as we tried to pick up the pen at the same time.
EMMA : Oh…… You went for it, too. Here you go.
GUI : E-Excuse me……! Thank you.
GUI : If …… If I could remember everything by magic, I wouldn't get to spend my time like this……
GUI : That's……. It might be a little lonely……
GUI : Well, I shouldn't have gotten a red mark in the first place! I'll do my best next time!
EMMA : Yeah. I'm rooting for you too.
The words he'd muttered to himself tickled my heart.
I turned the pages of the textbook again, hoping to help Gui; He was so full of energy.
