Silence pervades the two-student schoolhouse, interrupted only briefly by the singing of birds occasionally resting on the windows. The disappearance of the teacher is a clear indication that the class has become "self-study", and although it is almost impossible for the magician to read the story with little help, it is the dreary atmosphere around her that really bores Alice.

Finally, Alice couldn't help it, and this is also a matter of course, because Irina who is looking at the book does not look at all like someone who will be defeated by silence.

"Now, Irina, aren't you curious?"

Alice came to Irina's side and forcibly closed Irina's open book without saying a word, of course, she was immediately met with a cold look from Irina.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that it would have become a sieve long ago, which should be one of Alice's few privileges.

"Teacher Rosie left us both behind, there must be some secret that can't be told!?"

The result that anyone with a discerning eye can see, Alice is naturally not so stupid that she can't tell the difference. If it's just an ordinary thing, I'm afraid Ms. Rosie will explain it on the spot, and since she left with Luna, things will become confusing. The curiosity that has arisen has reached a level that Alice absolutely cannot suppress.

If you go with the flow, you will definitely be reprimanded by Rosie, but this beautiful trap is not rejected by Alice.

"Irina, don't you want to know?"

"I don't want to. In response to Alice's curiosity, it was Irina's roll of the eyes, and she knew that the rigid Irina would never do anything like "voyeurism" without thinking about it. But this time it was a little special, maybe it involved something "magic", Irina didn't refuse so thoroughly, "I can learn from Luna at night, so there's no need to take risks." ”

"No, no, no, I can't ask. ”

Alice shook her head, even with her rabbit ears, "Our maid is sometimes more stubborn than you, this time the teacher will definitely tell her to keep it a secret again, she has already broken the contract once, and this time I am afraid that even a crowbar may not be able to pry her mouth open." ”

“...... Don't go. ”

Irina shook her head again, though her eyes were already shaking, "It's not ......"

"It's okay, it's okay, the law doesn't blame the public. Alice pulled Irina up from her position as she strode out of the house. Although the number of this "crowd" is really a bit small, even if she is caught, the gentle teacher Rosie will at most tell Irina to keep it a secret from herself.

So what's the reason not to satisfy your curiosity?

"Irina too, obviously can't sit still, and has to pretend to be honest. Alice looked back and giggled as she dragged Irina through the forest.

Although she has lived with this "cohabitant" for a long time, Alice does not know much about Irina. Cold, or a little **, there doesn't seem to be any other hobbies except reading books all day long, but her relative strength as a magician is something that Alice herself can't reach in a short period of time anyway, I'm afraid Irina's strength can already accept the test of the "witch".

Other than that, more about Irina Alice is unknown, but it is certain that Irina will be interested as long as it involves "magic", and of course this time will not be an exception.

"I remember going this way. ”

While recalling what she had seen before, the direction in which Rosie and Luna had left, Alice led Irina carefully through the dense forest. It is not an exaggeration to say that Rosie is a symbol of the forest, so with the slightest negligence, I am afraid that the plan of voyeurism will be completely ruined.

"Irina?"

"Be quiet. Irina scolded in a cold voice, and while Alice fell silent, there was movement not far away, "It should be, it's there." ”

There are usually no people in the middle of nowhere, let alone fights. The only thing that could be thought of was Rosie-sensei and Luna, and as the distance approached, it seemed that the sound of the battle between the demons became louder and louder, and the picture that could be seen gradually finally ruled out all other possibilities in Alice's mind.

It's just that...... But it raises even greater doubts.

"You can't pause while chanting!

Roseie, who opened the magic book, uncharacteristically instructed Luna, who was in a hurry, with a very stern instruction, "Read the words that appear in the book immediately!!, or this will be your fatal flaw!"

In the center of the battlefield, two scarecrows are staggered into the soil, one of which Alice is already familiar with, it is Rosie's magic scarecrow, but the other scarecrow that looks much worse is the one summoned by Luna!?

The spellbook isn't in Luna's hands, and theoretically there won't be two identical scarecrows, right......

"Ahh After a burst of chanting in which Alice couldn't hear the exact words, the scarecrow in front of Luna moved.

"I don't need to explain what I'm going to do next!Do your best to keep up with me, this is also the best chance to get to know yourself!"

Rosie spoke loudly, singing a story that Luna could hear, and despite looking a little overwhelmed, Luna looked at her own notes.

The two scarecrows moved, jumping and waving the sticks in their hands and colliding together, weeds, threads, and rags flew all over the sky, although this was probably an "unusually tragic" battle for the scarecrows, but in the eyes of Alice, who is a human, it is a bit ...... Want to laugh.

It seems that Teacher Rosie is just "testing", but this little test is enough to explain a lot of things.

"She's imitating. Alice tugged at Irina's sleeve, a companion who was always more knowledgeable than she was, "I guess I'm not mistaken, am I?"

"Imitation...... ...... Irina, who didn't pay attention to Alice's actions, just muttered quietly, "I think it's more like 'plagiarism'." The opponent got the same words one step later, so that's what the book was for. ”

"Plagiarism?"

Alice, tilting her head, was about to ask Irina a question, but it seemed that the rookie pecking battle ended sooner than she thought. Luna's scarecrow, which was clearly inferior to the other party, remained passive, and was soon knocked and smashed by Rosie's scarecrow to a bundle of weeds tied with straps tied. With weeds flying in the sky, Luna finally finished her "trial" with her knees panting for air.

"Kid, it's a short test, but now you should know what a dangerous thing you're carrying. ”

Rosie closed the book, and the scarecrow in front of her fell straight down, "Magicians value ownership of their stories, so what you're holding isn't probably something you can take out and put in front of people. In the future, you should also make it your guideline to hide it as much as possible. ”

"Whew...... Whew, yes, I'm not going to take it out. ”

"That's fine, only the four of us know about it. Rosie nodded, and her gaze moved to the back of the tree where Alice was, "You should be able to guarantee the two curious students over there, right?"

(This is the end of the first volume, and although it hasn't been expanded much yet, at least the foreshadowing on Luna's side has been buried, and from the second volume onwards, it will begin to focus on the side of the magicians, and more magicians will appear one after another, and various types of fairy tales will be revealed.) The restraint between magic will be more pronounced. Stay tuned. ）
