A month after that one day, I had a very peaceful routine.
I woke up in the morning to the chirping of birds, had breakfast with Lilith, and studied in the stacks until after lunch. After eating Lilith's made-up lunch, he took a nap for an hour.
When he wakes up, he hides in the storeroom and continues his study of magic.
The stacks are bathed in daylight.
I yawn and suddenly look at my face reflected in the window.
Since that day, I haven't played tag with the bonbon nobleman (my brother), not even once.
Huh.
I have to exercise regularly, after all, or my body will be too slow.
I look down at the book. But I quickly decide to close the book.
My ears can't miss the 'noise' outside the room.
That's right.
I haven't played tag since the incident, not even once.
'Tanno-mo! Have a great day! Master!
The door is opened in a mess and Ted bursts into the stacks.
A request for a duel with Barth, and one small change in the irreplaceable routine.
'...... Hey. I've said it a million times. When I'm reading, you have to open the door quietly.
'It doesn't matter, Master! Can't wait to tell me the rest of yesterday's witchcraft! I'm actually starting to get the hang of this!
The change that came to my daily life was that before I knew it, Ted had come to look up to me as his 'mentor'.
Of course, I said no at first.
But no matter how many times I said no, he was persistent and wouldn't stop calling me 'Master'.
'You look like you're not crippled anymore,'
'Heh! Of course! This isn't even a scratch for Master Ted!
Don't lie to me. Lies.
You were crying big tears when you fell off the roof.
What's the longest thing you've done?
'What? What are you doing?
I took the scarf I was wearing and put it around my neck.
'We're playing tag,'
The bonbon aristocrat (brother)'s eyes flashed like a dog that knows it can be played with.
''Yes! I'm going to beat my master today!
'It's fine to be confident, but ....... You should use the application of the body-enhancement magic I taught you yesterday. You've got the hang of it, haven't you?
'Hehehe! I'll take care of it!
Although his response time is one of his few advantages, it's a problem for him because in many cases, he really only responds to them.
I open the window to go outside.
A fresh breeze blows in, and I roll up the pages of the book on the table.
