Adopting Disaster

After the class was over, Dolores raided the Tower Master's office.

That was her reward for teaching the two tiny mages.

"I'm here."

"Good job."

He greeted her while lying on the sofa, not sitting at his office desk.

"You're not working today?"

"I'm resting after finishing everything. That's better for you, isn't it?"

"Hmm, it's more fun to bother you when you're working..."

"Was that your intention?"

Dolores jokingly sighed as if she was disappointed.

She lifted Reed's head and placed it on her lap like a pillow.

"I'll visit you when I want to bother you next time."

"If you come with that strange teleportation magic, I'll freak out again."

"Did you freak out?"

"Of course, I did. If a high-level intruder breaks in, there won't even be a chance to block the magic, even the Tower Master of the Timekeeper Tower would be flipped."

Reed opened his eyes and cautiously asked.

"You didn’t tell anyone I did it, right??"

"I didn’t say anything, but it’s going to be hard to keep it to myself.."

"Blackmailing me?"

"No. My lips were itching so much that I was going to report to the president."

"That's mean."

"Well, I don't like doing business that I lose money on...."

"I need to give you some hush money. I’ll give you a generous amount, so let’s just forget about it.."

"Give it to me now, quickly."

With that hush money, Dolores kissed her.

Normally, she would giggle and smile, but she looked dissatisfied as she looked down at Reed.

"It's a bit weak. I feel like I might be floating around weakly around you."

"You gave quite a lot compared to a lifetime of alimony payments."

"Give me two more months' worth."

"You're greedy. You might end up falling for that plump cheek."

"Oh, people of the world~ Look over here~. What this parasitic man did~."

After paying for those two extra months, she started to smile lovingly.

Dolores toyed with Reed's hair like a toy and said, "By the way, has Rosaria ever made a spell for when you were sick?"

"Huh? Oh, she did."

It was when she first used a rune.

It was such a chaotic time, and it was such a foolish situation that he couldn't help but remember it.

"Then have you seen this at that time?"

"What is it?"

Dolores showed him something that looked like a magic circle that he had seen once before.

Reed nodded his head.

"Oh, yeah. I thought... that it was drawn quite hard."

"Any other impressions?"

"It hurts like hell, but it's healing to know that my daughter is thinking of me."

"Is there anything else?"

"No, why?"

Dolores looked at him with suspicion.

What does she want to say?

"The magic circle that Rosaria drew. It was crooked, so I thought it was just that, but when I tried to systematize it, it came out like this."

Dolores showed her drawing next to Rosaria's.

It was a systematized version of what Rosaria had drawn.

"This is a working magic circle."

"It works?"

"You didn't know? If you don't have a compass or something, the circle won't be drawn perfectly, so this is a simplified version of a restoration spell that Rosaria drew."

"So the magic circle was simplified??"

Reed sprang up from his seat.

Living as a magician, he had learned a few things.

Sometimes hastily drawn magic circles could also be activated.

However, the effect was usually very weak, or it turned into a bizarre, neither-here-nor-there kind of magic.

The fact that it was simplified while maintaining the complete magic was not just a surprising matter.

"That's why I'm so surprised right now."

At Dolores's words, Reed channeled mana into the magic circle she had prepared.

The magic circle, receiving the mana, emitted a faint green light and rose up.

Indeed, what Rosaria had drawn was a simplified healing magic circle.

"Your disciple did something great."

"She did. That's why I'm worried."

"Worried?"

Dolores nodded at the question.

"Rosaria has talent. But I'm worried because that talent comes out unconsciously."

"Because it comes from the realm of sensation?"

When Rosaria wants to do something, she does it.

When she first debuted, she touched the pillar of the tower, and she also broke a sword that someone swung at him because she couldn't stand injustice.

They called it the realm of sensation.

"While I don't know about jobs like swordsmen or archers, it's a fundamental principle that a magician should be cooler-headed than anyone else. Rosaria is more emotional than other magicians."

"Isn't Yuria also like that, always making you grumble?"

"Yuria is rational. She's just competitive. She learns fast, and Rosaria has a lot of potential, but Yuria will be just as strong as Rosaria."

In fact, the only character with the skills to suppress Rosaria was Yuria.

There was no way Dolores could have known such future information.

It showed how much Dolores cared for her disciples.

"So what do you want to say?"

"I'm just worried about Rosaria. She's talented enough to unconsciously simplify magic circles. I wonder if I'm blocking her talent too much. If I let her use magic through the realm of sensation, there's no doubt she'll be no less than a great magician within a year, but I wonder if it'll turn into something neither here nor there..."

Dolores sighed.

It was a difficult decision to make, as much as Dolores was worried.

If she let Rosaria's talent be tainted by walking the path of moderation, it would be Dolores' fault as a teacher.

And if she let Rosaria's talent flourish by walking the path of excess, but that overflowing talent turned into poison, that would also be Dolores' fault.

She was doing her best, but the word "best" could not forgive everything.

Reed, who had heard Dolores's concern, stroked her head and said.

"Rosaria is truly blessed."

"Why?"

"Because she has such a beautiful and talented teacher who will soon become her mother."

At those words, Dolores chuckled and threw a teasing remark.

"What are you saying? You're really becoming an old man. You only say old man-like things."

"Ugh, it hurts when you say that."

Reed turned his head away, smacking his lips.

As he made a sulky face, Dolores clung to him.

"I didn't say I didn't like it. I like that kind of old man."

"I don't like you anymore. Live with Rosaria, just the two of you."

"Why is our old man so narrow-minded? I really can't live without you."

Dolores playfully touched Reed's lips and acted affectionately.
