He scanned the words line by line. He slapped the paper in his hand on the table:

“Nonsense!!!”

Even Lily who was following behind was startled.

"Improvements, improvements, where have they been improved?! What about stability? What about structure? What about manufacturability? Just a sentence of 'high magical ability' and that's it?!..."

Pullman cursed in a way that was totally unbecoming of a professor. Even Moira, who was protecting Lily, couldn't stand it and stepped forward:

"Hey old man! Why are you so angry in the void again?!"

It seems that the person who is angry is not Leona...Leona is just standing here unlucky.

"…What did Group Three make?! Give it to Group Four for testing. Under full load of magic power, the stability of the magic will decay at a rate of nearly 15. Did they make this thing to blow up our laboratory?!…"

"Isn't this good? For one-time use, it says so..."

"You change a material that can be used stably multiple times into this, and then you call it 'single use' without considering the cost!? I have learned everything I was taught..."

Leona, who was standing aside, finally noticed Lily.

The little girl was still at the corner by the door, looking a little restless, as if she was worried that Leona couldn't see her, and was afraid of the vicious atmosphere in the room at the moment.

Leona couldn't help but feel a little happy when she saw Lily.

While the professor and Moira were talking, Leona came up to Lily:

"You're here."

Lily pulled a small ball out of her pocket and handed it to Leona.

It seemed to be a snack sold on the street.

Maybe it wasn’t expensive, but Lily didn’t really have much idea about the price.

"You didn't get to eat last time because of me... I'm sorry... So, this is for you."

Leona was stunned.

This girl, is she still apologizing for what happened last time... It was clearly not her fault at all...

But refusing would be even more heartless.

Leona didn't know what to say, so she could only take Lily's things.

It was still a little warm, as if it had just been bought.

I felt touched unconsciously.

……

"We are still making things for the Magic Festival..."

Outside the room, Leona and Lily were chewing the mugwort balls in their hands, and she was telling Lily about what she was busy with.

"We will place good conductors around the battlefield to guide the overflowing magic power. Besides that, we will also be working on insulating devices for protection... It only needs to be slightly improved from last year, so it won't take much effort."

"Yeah. Go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you."

Lily usually plans to take a look at Leona and then leave, after all, Coco might be waiting for her there.

"You live in the military university now?"

"Ah."

"...Can I ask where you live?" Leona glanced at the little girl beside her.

"Just go out from here, turn left, and then walk to the corner where there is an old house..." Lily spoke with her own feelings.

It took Leona quite some thought to figure it out.

I even began to admire myself for being like this...

"Leona, the professor is looking for you. I'll help you wipe your butts here..."

Moira came out of the door.

It seems that the time has come when I have to work.

Leona just said goodbye to Lily briefly, and was pushed into the room by Moira:

"The old man is urging you to hurry up... I will take good care of your little sister..."

They slammed shut.

Moira wiped her forehead with her arm:

"Huh, it's finally done..."

It was just his eyes, but they were fixed on Lily's small body.

Lily felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

Just when Lily was about to back off.

Moira smiled brightly and took Lily's arm:

"Anyway, I'm free now... I might as well take you around here. Let's go~"

Lily was a little surprised, but she was not used to resisting.

Moira in front had a somewhat smug expression on her face.

It's like picking up someone else's precious pet.

……

Lily told Moira that she was going to look for the little orcs, and Moira readily took Lily to find the preparatory teaching building.

They waited in the large hallway two floors down, swinging their calves in chairs beside the bed.

Of course, there was more than just the preparatory class in the building. There were also students from other formal military universities passing by one after another.

Some students saw the two little lolis on the side...naturally, their attention was drawn to them.

However, in addition to exclamations of "cuteness" and the like, there are also some discordant voices:

"Hey, look at that black-haired guy..."

"It's very cute. What's wrong?"

"Just a while ago... I heard someone used magic in the cafeteria..."

"The one that blasted a huge hole?... It was said that it took only a moment... The little girl in black... black, black, black, black hair?!!!"

"(covering mouth) Keep your voice down!"

Lily soon felt that some eyes with different emotions were staring at her.

"Could it be a monster from somewhere?"

"Is there a civilian girl who is so strong?"

"No... Rumors are still rumors... Anyway, I don't believe them..."

Lily unconsciously reached out to pull the clothes of the person next to her, but suddenly found that Moira was the only one around.

Seeing this, the girl looked at Lily with some interest and said:

"I didn't expect you to be afraid of something like this."

...something like this?

95. New Shura Field

Lily didn't understand what Moira meant by asking this.

It seemed that in the eyes of this girl... Lily should be more "fearless".

Seeing Lily looking back at her with some confusion, Moira just rested her head on her little hands.

Then she narrowed her eyes slightly towards the boys passing by.

The boys passing by seemed to have sensed something, and only glanced at the brown-red girl beside Lily...

"That girl... her hair seems... to be red...?!"

"Well……?!"

Moira glared at a few boys briefly.

The few people who were staring at Lily just now shut up and ran away in a hurry.

Lily looked over in confusion, and only then could she vaguely make out the boys' discussion in low voices:

"It is said that... it was from last year's Magic Festival..."

"Even the teacher was hurt..."

"No wonder...if it has something to do with that senior...that black-haired girl..."

"That senior looks so young... Eee!!!"

The boy looked back involuntarily when he said this, and naturally met Moira's subtly narrowed eyes...

He was even frightened by the unfounded aura, and quickly turned around and ran away with the people around him.

Even Lily could sense it. When she heard the word "little", Moira's breath suddenly sank.

It seems that this girl is very concerned about her height...?

Or something else…?

However, Lily is actually more curious about Moira's ability to "scare people away with her eyes."

"what happened?"

Moira noticed that Lily was looking at her, and her expression had returned to cheerfulness.

It was as if nothing had happened.

"...So amazing." Lily exclaimed sincerely.

"……Eh?"
