I refuse to be buried in studying again!My consciousness was very faint.As a baby, my mind was only as lucid as an infant's could be. As I grew older, my awareness gradually awakened.Even that much, however, must have been enough to make me stand out among my peers.By the time I was around five years old and fully remembered who I used to be, I had already left my parents' side. Every single day, I took difficult lessons alongside other children my age in a room packed with books.That place was a…-

Had the tunnel always been this long?The more I gasped for breath as I frantically ran, the blurrier my vision became, and my hands and feet refused to obey me."Is anyone there? Is nobody here? Someone..."My throat stung and seized up.Acrid smoke filled the air around me. Before long, I couldn't see a thing.Instead of any sign of people, all I could hear were things exploding, bursting one after another. The flames were spreading faster than I thought."...No, this can't be…

"Every single day it's that damn studying, studying! I'm sick to death of it!"I shouted. And as usual, Mom raised her voice right along with mine.Fighting with Mom was one of the things I couldn't stop doing at will."Ha, if you're that embarrassed, you can just go find another, smarter daughter! Ah! Right! I can just disappear for you.How much easier would that be for you, Mom? Who asked you to give yourself a headache worrying about someone like me? Who asked you to give…

"Huh? Because you sat down.""I'm about to do something important from now on, so don't disturb me.""Sitting down? Something important?""Ever heard of mental concentration?"From this point on, it was a race against time and a battle of mana.The key was how long I could hold out while keeping Undine summoned.To reduce the amount of draining mana even a little, I needed to personally refine the mana flowing out of me.It was a kind of pruning process, and it…

How Is the World This Brutal!For all sorts of reasons, I was absolutely furious.At the oppressive situation I was in, at the irritation that if only that brat Lai had been by my side, I wouldn't have been captured.At everything that kept happening regardless of my own will."Hey! You!""Mmm......?"I irritably called out to the brat who was quietly shoved into the corner."How long have you been caught? Do you happen to know what time it is now?""I don't…

The festival was overflowing with enough sights to distract even the knights.Because they had to guard Bright and Jaimam as well, the knights' eyes occasionally strayed from me.So running away was very easy.All we had to do was slip into the teeming crowd."This way."Iruze and I made full use of our small bodies to weave through the people.Darting between the countless legs felt much like pushing through a thick field of reeds.We held each other's hands tightly, afraid of getting…

Hosted by Elan, the Winkan Festival was indisputably the largest festival on the continent in both name and reality.People flocked in from all across the continent, eating, drinking, and making merry without pause for two whole weeks.I had heard that a market the size of a decent small-to-medium city would spring up, and it was true.I had figured there was some exaggeration to it, but seeing the stalls stretch on without end no matter how far we walked made my jaw drop on its own.The night was as bright as…

Iruze linked her arm with mine and started pestering me, though all I wanted was to go to bed early."It's a hassle, though...""They say there are over a thousand stalls! Isn't that amazing? It's a chance to try every dish on the continent!""Hmm, I do want to eat delicious food, though.""I even brought the allowance my father gave me to spend today! Look!"The coin pouch Iruze pulled out to show me was so heavy that the clinking rang loudly in my ears.It…

"What are you talking about!""I am not! As if I would snap at you for no reason over something like that! Sure, I might be petty and bad-tempered, though!"Tch.Now that I say it out loud, it's true.Clicking my tongue loudly, I sank back into the water and leaned against the bathtub.Lai's words hit the bullseye, making me grind my teeth. That guy Lai might look oblivious, but he knew me pretty well.Then again, it wasn't like we had only been stuck together for a day or…

"W-Why? This has never happened before!"Perhaps it was the hubris of someone who had never been rejected, but I had naturally assumed the Ice Spirit would accept a contract with me.Had that been arrogance?Fssssht.My Mana, which had barely been clinging on as it was, hit rock bottom in an instant.And as it did, the Ice Spirit's voice grew fainter. Panic seized me, but I had no way of holding on to the fading spirit."Hey! Wait a second! I'm only like this right now because I'm…
