Class is over and it's after school.

　Well.
　Come to think of it, I had an appointment to meet Noel after school today.

　If I'm being honest, part of me is a little too lazy to go see someone, but I'm interested in the books that are lying in that room.

　I gathered up my textbooks on my desk and quickened my steps as I headed for the exit of the classroom.

'Abel. Do you have a minute?

　A short distance down the hallway, someone calls out to me.

'What's up. What do you want from me?

　I turned around and saw a person who looked familiar to me as well.
　This woman, Eliza, with her reddish-brown hair, has been something of a kindred spirit to me since the entrance exam.

'Yo, it's not as big of an errand as it sounds ....... Hey. Has Abel already decided on a study group to join?

　Eliza said even as she twirled the tips of her fingers with her mojo.

　Hmm. As usual, this woman asks questions with no discernible intent.

　What is the value of the information of the organization to which an individual belongs?

No," he said. I don't think I've decided on anything in particular at the moment.

　To be exact, yesterday I went to visit the 'Ancient Magic Study Group', but it's not like I joined it.

　It would be correct to answer 'I haven't decided anything in particular' here.

''That's right!　There's a study group I was going to visit after school tomorrow, I was wondering if you'd like to join me.

　Saying that, Eliza handed me a pamplet.

　The flamboyantly colored words were dancing in the pamphlet.



　Hmm. A dragon.
　I've been reincarnated in the present day, but it's been a long time since I've ridden one.

　It's a good thing that Eliza invited me here.

　It's not a bad idea to play with dragons for a while to get your mind off things.

I understand. I'm sure you'll be fine with that.

Oh, really?　Absolutely!　Absolutely!　

　After saying that much, Eliza disappears in front of me as if she were running away.

　Good grief.
　She's a boisterous woman as usual.

　However, today she looked even stranger than usual.

　Her cheeks were red as if the sun had shone, and her heart was beating so high that I could hear it.

　Was she that excited to ride the dragon?

　Well, there's no point in reading too much into it.

　As far as I know, the woman named Eliza is a person whose moods change from one thing to another like a cat.

　Probably there is no particular big reason for this time as well.
