"Hey hey! Elaina-sensei, look! Doesn't this look cool?"
The slow-witted impure male student made a water crown and put it on.
I ignored him.
All students (except one) were very enthusiastic, so they asked for advice without me even calling out to them. It looks like they found it easy to ask me who was around their age.
It wasn't a bad feeling.
Their training continued on until Fran-sensei clapped her hands twice.
Looks like Fran-sensei's work for today ended with the end of morning extracurricular lessons.
From how it was yesterday, is there extracurricular lesson in the evening? I thought so, but according to Sensei, "When we do it in the morning, we don't do it in the evening. And when we don't do it in the morning, we do it in the evening," seemed so be the case. In short, it was a once-a-day extracurricular lessons.
"Why don't you do it more than once a day?"
I tried asking her.
"Wouldn't it be tiring?"
Was the immediate reply.
"So you are being considerate that the students would get tired if you did it more than once?" I see I see.
"No, I'll get tired so I'm not doing it."
I feel something indescribable.
Part 6
After the extracurricular lessons were over, I was led by Fran-sensei and left the building. Then, we calmly flew in the sky, and ahead was a high hill. Fran-sensei descended on top of it.
I followed after her. The soft lawn raised sounds.
Looking down, the greenery stretched while drawing a gentle arc.
The townscape was spread beyond the wooden fences.
The private houses with various tinges. The trees before us drifted by the wind and their leaves were stolen somewhere far away. Opposite of it was the academy with tower that became a landmark proudly claiming its presence.
In the sky of fine blue, the clouds drifted. They were white clouds with no stagnation.
"This is my favorite spot."
──Isn't it a nice view? Fran-sensei said.
"Yes. Absolutely."
"I'm glad to hear it."
Fran-sensei's black hair faintly swayed by the gentry blowing wind.
Then she,
"I wanted to show it to you once before you left this country. My favorite spot."
Said so and smiled.
Tempted by her, I also felt my cheeks loosen.
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome──you are living tomorrow morning right?"
"Yes. I can't stay for too long after all."
"That's a shame...... Because my students appear to be extremely fond of you."
"A young Witch is only rare." Or maybe a traveler.
"Even so, being liked is a wonderful thing. I'm being avoided by students even now."
Rather than being avoided, I think it's just them not understanding the sense of distance because of Sensei's ungraspable character.
I won't say it though. I can't say it.
"What's wrong?"
"......No, nothing."
I looked at the academy that was seen distantly in order to avoid Fran-sensei's gaze. "That reminds me, you are teaching Magic at that school, right?"
"Hm? That's right?"
“What will you do after the graduation?"
"I'll just normally work in the country. For example, luggage delivery work, or giving rides to people. If you went for sightseeing, you should have seen it several times, right? The Magicians flying above the roofs.
I see.
"Are the people who performed at downtown also the graduates from this academy?"
Demonstrating Magic on the shoulder of the road. Manipulating puppets. People singing while surrounded by Magic productions.
Was every Magician who I saw on streets the people who studied in Royal Magic Academy I wonder?
Fran-sensei assented.
"Yes──But, well, they are just doing it as a hobby. It's not an official business."
"A hobby you say...... But they are receiving money, aren't they?"
"Well, they are receiving it. Although a very small amount. But they aren't showing Magic because they want to earn money."
"Then for what?"
"Just because they love to," Fran-sensei clearly said, "Elaina also loved journey and went on it because of it, right? It's the same. They also do it because they like to make people happy."
Not for the money but for themselves.
Or maybe for others.
Because they like it.
After entering this country, I thought many times that it was a lovely country. It had a beautiful townscape and a vast territory. People spending time full of smiles. I was moved so much that my breath escaped every time I came across them.
It might be because the country named Royal Kingdom of Celestellia──overlapped somewhere with my journey itself.
"Speaking of which, what is Elaina's favorite thing?"
Fran-sensei abruptly said.
"Travelling." I gave an immediate reply.
"Aside from travelling."
Aside from travelling, what else it it?
After all, it would be what became a trigger for my trip.
"It would be books I guess."
"Books......" After a short pause, "Aside from that?" Fran-sensei asked once more.
She's quite suggestive.
"Um, what is it? Since some time ago."
"No, well, something was slightly on my mind."
"Are you planning to give me a parting gift?"
I jokingly said it.
"Well, yes."
To my embarrassment, it was affirmed readily.
Ooh. Such thing.
"......Ah, no, it's fine, something like a parting gift. Your feelings alone are enough."
"Now now, you don't have to say that. How about you try to talk about your favorite things? How about flowers for example?"
"Aren't you taking the leading role already?"
"How is it, the flowers? Ah, maybe something like a butterfly as well?"
"That's Fran-sensei's favorite thing."
"Since it's my favorite, then you who's my pupil should also like it, right?"
"What's with that unreasonable theory?"
"You don't like butterflies then?"
"Just normally."
"I see. You just normally like it."
"It seems it would be better if I said it's somewhere between liking and disliking."
"So how about it? The flowers."
"You went back to them."
"How about them?"
"Well, I do like them......"
"Then that's good."
"......? What is?"
"It's a secret."
Fran-sensei said with the ever unchanging smile. While I was bombarded by questions by her, she didn't answer the one thing I asked.
After living together with her for a year, even after meeting her after a long time, Fran-sensei was the same as ever. Even now, I don't fully understand what kind of person she is.
But not understanding her is the point that makes her her.
I already got used to it.
"What is it? Won’t that make me curious?"
I expected the returned words, but I still tried asking. Then, predicting my words, Fran-sensei said,
