After giving it some thought, I grabbed a book that looked nice and went back to where Melody was.

You finally found the book you were looking for?

Melody asked me, looking up from under the magic lamp.

Babasically, yes.

Im not going to say that I want to sit down and pretend to be calm.

I looked at the tattoo from Momiji Speech and laughed in my heart.

It seems like the Momiji Secret Society and I were strongly bound together by fate. Im forced into a relationship with them even if my identity changes, but I dont know if this is good or bad.

After turning a few pages, a flurry of footsteps came from the stairs. Needless to say, it was Falan.

Upon reaching our floor, Falan looked around the entire floor and locked her eyes on us.

I quickly pretended to be reading, ignoring Falans gaze.

Hey, elder sister, why did Falan come? Did she figure out who you are?

I dont thinkthats the reason.

I showed Oyado the tattoo from the ring on my finger.

Its because I accidentally had some relationship with the Momiji Secret Society.

Eh~ Elder sister and the Momiji have a strong connection.

I certainly hope not. While I feel that mercenary organization didnt do anything terrible, I always felt that they were dangerous.

That

I dont know when Falan had gotten behind us.

Oyado, this is

Its elder sister Felicia~

Oyado replied.

Eh? Elder sister?

Falan looked at me curiously.

Does she have anything do with Fir?

Nothing at all, it doesnt have to do with that.

Oyado and I said at the same time.

Is that so

Falan frowned at me, and then grabbed my left hand and brought it to her eyes.

MaaIt was the Momiji Speech. Interesting. It would be reasonable to say that the Momiji Speech shouldnt recognize a common girl. Is there something special about you?

After that she began to look me over.

No way, youll get the entire act.

I coughed and asked in the softest voice I could.

ThatWhat is Momiji Speech?

When I said that I felt goosebumps all over my body. I didnt think that this body could make such a ice queen voice.

If I were still in my male body I would have gone straight against the wall.

Well

Falan didnt respond to it. She glanced across the table at Melody before continuing.

You, come alone with me.

With that, she headed back to the stairs.

If you want to know what the tattoo on your hand does.

Sorry, I know how to use it already. Its just a skill.

I laughed in my heart. But I cant say that out loud, Im a normal girl now.

But I know now that Falan likes to fool around and pretend to act like a pretentious prick all the time. Look at people when you talk, ok? Is it that fun to turn your back on someone else?

But since you are pretending to be pretentious I cant let it go, right?

I leaned over to Oyados ear and whispered.

Go find Aliyah and explain, then carefully follow along.

Un un. I would have done that even if elder sister didnt tell me!

Then I said to Melody.

Sorry, I have a bit of a problem so Ill have to leave first.

Un, but be careful. Although Ms. Falan doesnt teach, there are reports of strange sounds coming from her magical laboratory.

OhI understand.

Falan, youve actually dared to experiment with necromancy in the schools labs? You really are bold.

While I silently though that, I followed after Falan as she departed.

unhappy poi

Its completely dark outside. Sunrise and sunset is basically the same as our world, and happen at the same times, so it is generally dark by seven P.M.

Falan wasnt heading towards the commercial district, but a middle class residential area. The Imperial Capital was very large after all, and those nobles liked to separate out people into different classes, like the slums that Lilith and I lived in.

So, with the exception of the streetlights and the occasional voices from nearby houses, it was an incredibly eerie feeling walking this way.

This iswhere are we going?

I pretended to cautiously ask.

I have to say, dont you feel bad talking with that voice?

Falan suddenly asked.

What are you saying? I dont get it at all~

Hearing what I said, Falan suddenly stopped and turned around. Four fireballs appeared around her and one by one they flew at me!

Is this a test? Its not like she didnt know that Oyado and I had defeated the necromancer so isnt this test a bit easier?

I pointed forward, four water blades appeared and met the fireballs head on, turning them into gas.

Oh~

That brought a smile to Falans mouth.

There was no incantation, the accuracy of the attack was good enough to hit a flying target, those arent at the level of an average female student at a magical academy. Whats more, that sword seems to have been used for a long time, and its not even a valuable weapon so the wear on it should have been from your own use. Its hard to imagine that an ordinary looking girl whos a student at the Imperial College is a veteran magic swordsman.

Its very simple. Youre a fire magician so I prepared water magic ahead of time so that I could quickly cast it. As for why it was so preciseIm a swordsman, whats wrong with having good eyesight.

Oh~

Falan laughed.

Its true. It isnt easy for someone to get Oyado to call her elder sister, she didnt even like to call me that

Youre resentful about that?

You blame me?

Come on, let me see what you can do with your abilities.
