The next day, just after noon, the two of them set out for Franphilia's house, relying on the map they were given.

 

“According to the map, it should be somewhere around here.
……”

 

When Ataru looked up from the map and looked around, he saw that the area around here was lined with large mansions.
Actually, the elaborate map was beautiful to look at, but the contents were surprisingly rough.

 

“It's just like a guild master …….”[1]

 

Caro, who is looking around with him, is also taken aback by the fact that the area has more mansions than she had expected.

 

After a while of staring at the map and looking around, a man in a butler's uniform in front of a house approached them.
The man had a beard but was well-dressed and had a clean look.
His movements and clothing were elegant in every way.

 

“I'm sorry to interrupt you, but are you Ataru-sama and Caro-sama?”

 

“Yes, I am, but ……
who are you?”

 

The man bows his head again in response to Ataru's question, who is alarmed by the stranger's question.

 

“I'm sorry, sir.
I'm a butler serving Franphilia-sama, my name is Sebeus.
I have come to welcome the two of you today by order of Franphilia-sama.”[2]

 

The man who raised his head had a gentle smile on his face.
He didn't seem particularly bothered by Ataru's caution.

 

“I'm sorry about that.
I was given a map, but I just got lost.”

 

Ataru showed a troubled expression and said so while showing the map.
The face of Sebeus froze for a moment when he saw it.
The messyness of Flamfiria was evident to such an extent.

 

“I see, this is a bit confusing, isn't it? Franphilia-sama* should have written it a little more clearly, but don't worry, …….
I will take responsibility and escort you both from here.”[3]

 

The two who were lost were relieved to hear that Sebeus, who bowed with his hand on his chest, was there to help them.

 

They followed Sebeus, who was walking a step ahead of them, and eventually arrived in front of a mansion.

 

It was much larger than Gaiser's mansion, and Ataru and Caro looked up at it with their mouths hanging open.

 

“This is Franphilia-sama's mansion.
Please come in.”

 

“Ah, ah, …….”

 

Sebeus, who had already reached the front door, opened the large door and walked in.
The two of them, who were dazed in front of the gate, hurriedly followed him and stepped into the mansion.

 

From there, they walked down the corridor in silence.
The corridor of the silent mansion echoed only with the sound of their footsteps.

 

Sebeus, who had been walking for a long time, suddenly stopped, which caused Ataru and Caro to stop as well.
But in his haste to keep up, Ataru almost ran into Sebeus, and Caro, unable to control her momentum, smacked her face into Ataru's back.

 

Ataru gently stroked the head of Caro, who was holding her nose in pain and apologizing.

 

“Sorry for the delay.
Franphilia-sama is waiting for you in this room.”

 

When he knocked, a reply came from inside from a person who seemed to be Franphilia.

 

“Come in.”

 

With a gentle smile on his face, Sebeus opened the door and invited them to enter.
The room seemed to be a reception room, complete with elegant furnishings.

 

Franphilia was waiting in the room, dressed in what seemed to be her normal clothes.
She quickly stood up to greet them as they stood there.

 

“Sorry for the inconvenience.
I hope the map I gave you wasn't too confusing.”

 

She was worried about the two who hadn't shown up yet, and she was aware of it too, but she checked with them apologetically.

“It was a little confusing.
In fact, if Sebeus hadn't come to pick us up, I think we would have been lost for a while longer.”

 

When Franphilia heard this answer, she made a face of embarrassment.

 

“I'm sorry, but my mind always tells me that this is where the house is, so I couldn't draw a map with as much detail as I thought I could.
……”

 

Remembering her shortcomings, Franphilia bowed her head apologetically.

 

“No, well, we made it, so that's good.
But you're going to teach us magic, aren't you?

 

“I'm looking forward to it!”

 

Both of them were clearly more interested in magic than in anything else, and the fact that they had gotten lost on the way here was irrelevant to them.

 

“Hmmm, I understand.
Although I was thinking of staying here for a while to talk over a cup of tea, let's get started.
This way, please.”

 

Smiling at their enthusiasm for magic, Franphilia opened a door in the room and moved to the next room.

 

“Wow, that's amazing!”

 

The walls of the next room were lined with bookshelves, tightly lined with books.
Caro was overwhelmed as she had never seen this many books before.

 

“Mmmm, I'm kind of proud of myself.
It was hard work to collect so many books.
Oh, please sit over there.”

 

She then pointed to a table and chairs in the middle of the room, where the two of them were seated.

 

“Then let's begin the class.”

 

“Class?”

 

Ataru was shocked, because he had thought that magic was something that could be demonstrated and used quickly if you had the magic power.

 

“Yes, first of all, what is magic? Then let's study it.
Don't worry, I'll try to keep it as simple as possible.”

 

Franphilia lifted her glasses and seemed to be in teacher mode.
He was a little disappointed, but then again, it's not as easy as that, and Ataru took up a listening posture.

 

“Please.”

 

For Caro, who has never been to school before, taking a class is a new experience, so she nodded her head and looked at her earnestly.

 

“Very well, then, let us begin.
First, I'd like to ask you both a question: what do you think ……
magic is?”

 

Franphilia asked the two of them a question about the subject from the very beginning.

 

“Hmm, I hadn't really thought about it.
I've never really thought about it.
I've always had a strong image of people who are good at using magic being able to use it willy-nilly.”

 

“Yes, I think that's a good way to look at it.
What about you, Ataru-san?”

 

After Caro's answer, Ataru thought about it for a while, and then calmly began to speak.

 

“…
That's right.
First of all, I think that magic power is something that basically exists within all of us.
When using it, as Caro says, theres requirement for a magician is to be good at handling magic.
In addition to that, it seems that magic has certain rules, such as chanting, imagery, magic circles, and so on, through which you can shape it into the form you want to use.”[4]

 

Franphilia eyes widen as Ataru's answer, spun in an indifferent manner, was more well thought out than she had expected.

 

“Well I think that a good magician is good at using, or rather, channeling magic power.
If the magic power is somewhere inside you, and you can channel it in a natural way to activate it from your hands, the purity of the magic power when you release it will be high.
Maybe there's a magic circuit in your body that channels magic power like the one in a golem.”

 

“Wait a minute! Have you ever studied magic anywhere, Ataru-san?”

 

Franphilia hurriedly stopped Ataru's answers as they kept coming out one after another.

 

“No, I think everyone can come up with at least this much where I came from.”

 

Franphilia was flabbergasted by his words, while Caro, who was sitting next to him, looked at Ataru with respect.

(Garden’s corner: Alright I am very good at procrastinating I’ve had almost a month to translate all these chapters, but here I am doing them a couple of days before Christmas…… Anyway, who wants to bet that Ataru has a lot of MP, and that it’s very pure? If not, I’ll release maybe 4 extra chapters here in December.
There’s nothing to lose for you at least.)

 

[1] Yep best I could do…..
「さすがギルドマスターですね……」

[2] Sebeus is the name chosen by the discord.

Best I can do with after all.
