Chapter 53
And while I was about to take a sip out of my hot milk, someone started knocking on the door while calling out to me at the same time.
Nicole, lets play.
Comiiing!
I called back to the door and jumped out of my chair.
I was still slightly hungover, but it felt better thanks to the hot milk.
Cortina stood up as I prepared to leave.
Do you have anything for self-defense?
Both me and Letina narrowly avoided being kidnapped the other day, therefore we wouldnt be allowed to go out by ourselves, so Cortina is coming along to keep track of us.

Dont you have to be at school?
My role isnt major. Should be fine, probably.
Cortina isnt particularly strong as a mage, so she teaches a class on tactical theory.
She usually just presents battle situations for classwork and makes students submit possible scenarios.
Seems she has a lot of spare time since all she has to do is look over their submissions and grade em.
I grabbed my katana and ran to the front door.
Id like to carry it on my waist but with my height, the sheath would drag on the ground.
Cortina meanwhile followed along with a wand to help with her spellcasting.
Cortina rushed to get ready and looked at me like she couldnt wait for our girls date.
When the door opened, Michelle and Letina were waiting for us.
Morning Nicole!
Good morning Miss Nicole.
Morning you guys.
Michelle was carrying Third Eye as well as her usual hunting bow.
Letina had a long staff matching Cortinas design.
Shes been getting acquainted with Cortina and apparently prepared something similar to her.
Good morning, you guys are here early.
Lady Cortina! Good morning to you.
Lady Tina, morning~!
After stiffening up, Letina greeted Cortina with a nervous tick while Michelle gave her an innocent greeting.
Their responses were really contrasted.
Cortina gave them a charming smile and then looks at Michelle slightly mysteriously.
Michelle, cant you put that in a case?
Err About that
Michelle got slightly embarrassed at Cortina pointing it out.
I dont have a case for something this huge.
Oh, right, that size is abnormal. Its a powerful warbow that completely throws efficient hunting out the window.
But I cant just keep it at home, so I decided to carry it with me.
Michelle clenched her fist and was breathing heavily while saying that, it looks painful.
Large bows are considerably heavy.
Well, lets go look for a case for it, Ill buy it for you as a housewarming present.
Is that alright!?
Of course, and no cheapening out.
Despite being made of high-quality materials, Third Eye also has a magical effect applied to it.
Its a mythical-grade magic item, itd be a big problem for a kid to carry it around in the open.
Even Cortina stiffened up in shock when she first saw it.
What kinda madman would give such a thing to a kid on a whim.
So, to draw that
Not happening.
No kidding.
Michelles physical enhancement had timed out shortly after the battle.
Despite the short duration, to even have a child pull the string back on this monstrosity would require a huge boost.
Maybe theres something to the whole self-proclaimed gods claim.
At any rate, Michelles goal right now is to be able to use the Third Eye which is currently just a very expensive paperweight.
Meanwhile, mine is to be able to give her the enhancement needed to be able to use the bow.
Then, first lets go shopping. If you guys could learn your way around while were at it, thatd put my mind at ease.
Its an honor to receive directions from Lady Cortina!
Letina, youre so shameless.
Its fine, its just a little!
You guys, dont fight
Letina and I kicked up a fuss while Michelle tried calmed us down, something that had become a standard comedy routine over the last few days.
And thats how I spent my days leading up to admission.
