Having somehow resolved Shenley’s problem, I spent the remaining days teaching magic.I gave lectures on the basics of magic to all the faculty and students at the Holy City Magic Academy. Incidentally, Kathy and Gem were among them.“I am aware of the laws of chanting and the relationship between each section, but it’s too complex, and my research hasn't progressed much. That’s why I started researching magic circles. Most of the ancient chants have been lost, but ancient magic circles and magical tools remain in form. I thought that if I researched them, it would lead to research in both areas.”“Balblair-san, I think your way of thinking is correct. Ancient characters and shapes always have a meaning, and they work together to produce an effect. The same applies to chanting. If we could replace the characters and shapes used in superior magical tools and magic circles with chants, we would definitely achieve the same effect. It would be my honor to create a dictionary to serve as the Rosetta Stone.”“I don’t know what the Rosetta Stone is, but I understand what you’re trying to say. That’s really helpful.”Thanks to the cooperation of those who held the titles of saint and saintess, even those who didn't know me listened to my lectures with serious expressions. As Award, Balblair, and Crown asked questions and I answered them, people who had been silent gradually started to ask questions.Before I knew it, nearly two weeks had passed, and more people were able to use advanced magic. Even those who couldn't use healing magic before were gradually able to use it.Those who could already use intermediate or advanced magic showed remarkable growth. Balblair and Award were able to use lightning magic, and Crown was able to heal fractures with healing magic.Eventually, I ran out of my planned stay. Diageo himself would see us off.“Normally, His Majesty only sees off royalty from Great Nations,” Shenley said in confusion.“Well, this is no ordinary situation,” Ayle replied with a laugh.Looking closer, I noticed they were all wearing Maple Leaf’s national costumes. Shenley, on the other hand, looked more like someone from another country.
“I’ve become good friends with many at the Holy City Magic Academy. It’s sad to leave,” Eliza
said with a melancholic tone. Incidentally, she was also wearing the national costume well.
Since she was short, she looked like an elementary school student, which was cute.

“Even so, we have to give lectures at Fiddiq Academy. There’s no helping it,” Strass said coolly,
carrying a large leather bag.
“What’s in there? You weren't carrying it when you came,” Eliza asked.
Strass opened the bag and said with a hint of happiness, “I bought the best bread in the Holy
City. We won't be able to eat it when we get back.”
Eliza looked dumbfounded. “It’ll go bad. I’ll help you eat it!”
“Don’t worry. I bought more than half of it in dough form. I plan to have it baked when we return
to Fiddiq Academy.”
“Even dough won’t last for days! You have to eat it tomorrow or the day after!”
“Absolutely not.”
The two of them bickered.
Smiling, I pointed at the bag. “If you’re going to have Glenora bake it in the dormitory, you’ll
have to give her one too.”
Eliza gasped. “Speaking of, Glenora was a saintess, wasn’t she? When I was asking about
healing magic, someone at the academy mentioned a missing saintess…”
Her words made me remember. I nodded and added some explanation. “Ah, I heard that too.
Apparently, Glenora left the country more than ten years ago because she didn’t like being a
saintess. She may want to remain hidden, so I haven’t mentioned she’s at Fiddiq Academy,
even though it’s not a secret.”
Strass frowned and groaned. “… Glenora was a saintess. It’d make more sense if she had been
a general…”
Eliza burst out laughing. “She doesn’t look like a saintess, does she? But she’s kind under her
rough exterior. When Aoi-san doesn’t show up at the dining hall for a while, she’ll come to my
room to check with me.”
“What? Really?” I was surprised by the unexpected story. I was unknowingly making her worry
about me. Even though she might not like it, I should buy her some Maple Leaf souvenirs.
“Excuse me, but it’s about time for our scheduled departure….” Cote said hesitantly because
the adults were engrossed in their conversation.
“Oh, yes, we should be leaving,” I said with a wry smile.
We left the imperial palace, greeted the guards, who had already memorized our faces, and
went outside to find that the academy’s faculty and students lined up along the main street in
front of the palace. Alabarta, Crown, Award, and Balblair were standing in the back. There was
also a horse-less carriage.
“I’m heading straight to Fiddiq Academy.”
“I’ll go when I can.”
Balblair and Award spoke while looking at me. It was a request that I couldn’t have wished for
more.
“Of course. It’s up to you two whether Maple Leaf can become the greatest magical country in
the world.”
“Heh heh… We’ll surpass Fiddiq Academy eventually,” Balblair replied, her eyes shining
fiercely. She was definitely ambitious. Balblair, like Glenora, didn’t seem like a saintess.
“I’m grateful to you for all your help, Aoi-dono. I hope to see you again in the Holy City.”
“Ugh… If I didn’t have work, I’d follow you to Fiddiq Academy right now…”
Alabarta and Crown also said their farewells. But I felt like Crown’s words were a little off.
“The pleasure was all mine. I’m planning to organize a school trip or exchange program to
deepen our ties in the future. I look forward to working with you when the time comes,” I said.
Then I looked behind the two of them. Gem and Aldo were there, bowing their heads in
response to my gaze. Behind Aldo was Kathy, but she was looking away. I chuckled wryly and
gave them a slight nod.
Then Diageo, Rose, and the prime minister appeared belatedly from the palace.
“Aoi-dono, we’ll keep in touch. I’d like to hear about your future plans when we meet again next
time,” Diageo said.
“Yes, I will visit the Holy City again sometime,” I replied.
He tilted his head. “Hm? No, there will be a cultural exchange ceremony at Fiddiq Academy in less than a month. It’s called the cultural festival. Rose and I attend it every year.”“Cultural festival?” I looked back behind me, puzzled.I saw Strass and Eliza pale as ghosts.“… I forgot.”“W-we haven’t prepared for it… ?!”Judging from their reactions, it seemed to be a very important ceremony that the faculty had to prepare. I wonder if it was different from the ones on Earth?“… It seems the two of you are very busy,” Diageo said with a wry smile.I nodded and approached the carriage to use flying magic. “It seems I’m going to be busy as well. Excuse me, but I’ll head back early and ask the principal. Well then, Your Majesty, thank you for everything. I look forward to working with you in the future.”“Hmm.”After this exchange, I got into the driver’s seat of the carriage. Strass and the others boarded while bidding farewell to the people around them.“Everyone, thank you for everything. If you have any new discoveries or ideas in your magical research, please let me know. Well then, until next time.”With a brief farewell, I used flying magic. Those who saw it for the first time gasped in amazement. Although I felt a little pressured by their cheers, we took to the sky.It was difficult at first, but before I knew it, Maple Leaf had become a very cooperative country. It was a completely satisfactory outcome.During the short air journey, I enjoyed the scenery and reminisced about Maple Leaf. When we got back, I’d get some of Strass’ bread.
