“Well then, shall we head out?” I said.

“Yeah, yeah,” Miu said.

It was one morning.

Since I didn’t live alone anymore after I woke up, I exchanged a word or two with Miu, quickly got ready for work, had a light meal, then left our new home with her.

This sudden living together has just begun, but my honest impression is that it’s unexpectedly smooth.

Although I can’t completely measure Miu’s distance, she isn’t the type that intends to close that gap. I’m wondering what it’s like for her to be living under the same roof as someone else, but as a result of not interfering with each other more than necessary, I feel like we’ve settled down in a comfortable place.

“Aah, good weather today,” I said.

“… Better than the skies going dark,” Miu mumbled.

Incidentally, I’m about to head out with Miu right now. To be more precise, it is my mission today to see her to the Magician’s Academy.

Lucy gave me some additional explanation after that day, but even though the Magician’s Academy has entrance ceremonies like regular schools, transfers are allowed at any time because they’re always looking for people with magical capabilities.

Hence, I hope that Miu can transfer to the Magician’s Academy. And it seems that the Academy is accustomed to this kind of thing, and it was a really smooth couple of days until today’s decisive date.

It’s also a big story that Lucy had involved herself personally. Apparently, she was also the Headmistress of the Magician’s Academy as well as Head Magus. I have to wonder how many titles she has.

However, it seems that she hasn’t made much of an appearance at the Academy. It’s a fact that Lucy is a research-type rather than a teacher. She may not enjoy teaching too much.

“Umm, the Academy should be in… the North District?” I said as I looked at the map Lucy gave me.

Apparently, unlike the Knight Order’s HQ, the Magician’s Academy is located in the North District, where the royal palace is also located.

The Knight Order and the Magic Division.

It doesn’t matter which one is older or which one has power, but having your school in the same area as the royal palace feels a little special. And Miu will be going there from now on. As her guardian, I feel quite proud.

“… You don’t have to follow me,” Miu insisted modestly.

I know that. This is usually when she feels bad or when she feels awkward. And this time it’s the latter. I’m getting familiar with how Miu is.

“For the time being, I also have to make my greetings as your guardian,” I said. “Also, I’m interested in the Magicians Academy, too.”

“… Hmph,” Miu snorted.

Miu is still young. And from now on she will become a student, but of course, I have to go say hello as her guardian. It’s nice to see her enrolled, and it’d be a bit too irresponsible to just leave it entirely to her.

There was also my interest like I said.

The facility to train magicians, dependent on securing talent from all over the country, it’s quite intriguing even for swordsmen.

And as a matter of course, I want to know how what kind of place Miu will be going to.

I don’t mean to get involved, but if, hypothetically, she should be bullied, I’m confident that I’ll fly straight to the Academy. It’ll be like, “Who is the one who bullied my child? I won’t forgive them.”

And even if Miu is like this. I feel like I’m going to be a terrible parent if I have a blood child. To make one, though, I’d have to find a bride first.

To be honest, I have already given up. However, there is the fact that Father has not given up.

I bought a home as a matter of course, but I wonder what kind of life I will live in the future? Will I live permanently in the capital, Baltrain?

Well, I’m going to stay in this house at least until Miu is independent. Life planning from that point onward is pure fantasy. Even if I try to retire leisurely, it seems unlikely that my father and Alexia will leave me alone.

“… Is something up?” Miu asked.

“Oh, no, nothing. Let’s go,” I said.

I can’t help thinking about this. It’s the only thing I could do.

Now then, it is a little far to walk to the North District. It’s not a bad idea, but it’s not a good idea to keep walking with Miu tagging along. Let’s just rely on a horse-drawn carriage to the North District.

At this hour, people are busy commuting to work or school, and the carriage terminals are the same. Many people were boarding them to their destinations.

“Oops, excuse me,” I said.

When I boarded a carriage bound for the North District with Miu, I was a little troubled by a large number of people.

For some reason, I’ve used horse-drawn carriages several times since I came to Baltrain, but this is the first time I’ve been riding a horse-drawn carriage so crowded. Is Miu okay?

“Yeah, lot of folks, huh?” I said.

“… Too tight,” Miu said.

Yeah, the carriages are quite crowded during this time. I’ve heard that the Academy also has a dormitory, I think it would be okay to send her there, but I also don’t want to throw Miu into this hustle and bustle.

I think I’m pretty overprotective, but I don’t think I have any choice but to do this.

Miu has always been in a criminal world, so she is relatively ignorant of how bright the normal world is. Her education has been so stunted she can’t even write her name properly.

If you asked me I could leave such a young girl alone, I wouldn’t.

Can she make friends at the Academy properly? Can she do well in class? Not without reason, the worries of a parent hovered over me as we rode the carriage.

“… Big, huh?” I said.

“… Yeah,” Miu said.

Then, we came to the Magician’s Academy.

I haven’t been to the North District since I caught Bishop Lebios, but when the sun rises, the atmosphere is quite different. Coupled with the clear sky, the spires of the royal palace can be seen shining beautifully in the distance.

After arriving at the carriage terminal in the North District, we had to walk a bit, about 10 minutes. Well, it’s not near or far. Even if it was Miu, it will be a distance that fits within the range of daily exercise.

We got to the Magician’s Academy by relying on the map and the signboards, but it was a huge place. It was a vast campus, if it were a little larger it would have had the same area as the royal palace.

At the entrance, there is a large gate, and while looking at it, there is also a vast courtyard. In front is a building where the classrooms are, on the right side of the main gate is a large space that seems to be a playground, and on the far left I can see another building, which is probably the dormitory.

Yeah, it’s big. How many students are learning at this school? It’s not good to compare, but it’s very different from our countryside dojos and schools.

“… Let’s go introduce ourselves for now, shall we?” I asked.

“… Yeah,” Miu said.

I can’t come here and be like the dumbstruck country bumpkin. Right now, I have a child to chaperon. In other words, I can’t stand around here dazed.

I wonder if I should go to a place like the staff room for the time being. I did keep the map to the Magician’s Academy, but I don’t know what to do from here.

Well, it can’t be helped to stop here. If you go inside, there will be at least one of the teachers out and about. If you catch someone and explain the situation, they will guide us.

“Pardon me, Are you perhaps the new transfer student and her parent?”

And as soon as I thought that, I was called out to from behind.

“Umm, who are you talking to?” I asked.

I take a quick look around, but there are no other people around. Perhaps this voice was addressed to me and Miu.

As I look back, there was a woman wearing a robe like Thyssel.

She’s about the same height as Alexia and is she the same age or a little older? Her gentle look and dark brown hair with fluffy curls made me think that she was a nice person.

But her parent? Do I look like that? At least it’s better than being mistaken for kidnapping her, but when a third party says so, I have a feeling that I can’t say anything about it.

If I glance at Miu, she’s a bit flustered, too.

At least, it doesn’t seem to be negative, above all else. That’s good news.

“Pardon me,” the woman said. “My name is Quinella Fine, and I am a teacher here at the Magician’s Academy.”

“How very kind of you,” I said. “My name is Beryl. This is Miu.”

“… Hey,” Miu said.

Seems this Ms. Quinella was the teacher I was looking for. I’m grateful for this, can she guide us right now?

And even though she was a teacher, if a stranger talks to her, Miu shrinks a bit. It’s cute.

“As you can guess, Miu is the one enrolling here,” I said. “I came here today with her, but I was intimidated by how elaborate the Academy is.”

“My, well, that would certainly be it,” Ms. Quinella said, smiling and giggling. “It’s true, the Magician’s Academy is one of the best buildings in Baltrain.”

The Knights of Rebelio had a lot of rough soldier types, but the Magician’s Academy was more elegant or graceful.

No, it’s not about the Knights being inferior in quality. However, as long they deal with lethal swords, their temperament can not be reserved and quiet.

In that respect, I feel a very soft atmosphere from Ms. Quinella. If she is in charge of Miu, her temper could be cooled, and I think that she can have a good student life.

“Would you like me to guide you two?” Quinella asked.

“That would be a great help,” I said. “I don’t know what to do.”

Without having to ask it, Ms. Quinella was exactly the help we needed.

“… I, I leave it to you…” Miu said stiffly.

At times like this, Miu doesn’t know what kind of expression, what kind of voice, and how to form her words. Yeah, it’s cute.

“Hm-hm, you don’t have to be so nervous,” Quinella said. “Everyone’s nice.”

“… Oh… ah, no, I see…” Miu said.

She may be thinking about how to fix her speech. As I see her efforts, this old man can’t help but smile.

Lucy said that admission to the Academy was open for anyone of any origin as long as you have the magical capability.

In other words, I can’t say they’ll be rough like Miu, but I’m sure there are quite a few children who are a little out of touch. Ms. Quinella seems to be accustomed to treating such kids.

If this is the case, I can leave it to them with confidence.

Well, if something happens, I can fly over right away, can’t I?

Then, the three of us, including Ms. Quinella, decided to go to the premises of the magnificent Magician’s Academy.
