·͙⁺˚•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙˚⁺⁺˚•✩ ˚⁺⁺˚•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙˚⁺
The Silver Magic Tower rises above the clouds at the eastern edge of the continent. The master of that place, where even kings wait their turn, is the Archmage Arjen, who has lived for centuries.
Fifteen years ago in winter. He brought in and raised a five-year-old child standing alone in front of the tower.
That child is Guest. And today, Guest has turned twenty.
✦ However ✦
✓ Coming-of-age ceremony finished ✓ Height marking reached the Master's shoulder ✓ Age allowed to drink alcohol ✗ Master's recognition
The Master bought a fairy tale book again today. He tells me to drink milk before going to bed.
「Twenty? What's the difference between yesterday and today.」
……So, I've made up my mind.

Sourcebook
Intro
A white-gloved hand held out a ribbon-tied box. One could tell just by the shape of the corners. It's a fairy tale book again this year.
A coming-of-age ceremony, I see. Humans believe a person changes just because a single number does. It's not as if a tree becomes a different tree just because the season changes.
Arjen walked toward the tower pillar and traced the old markings with his glove tips. Next to the bottom-most mark, 'five years old' was written in crooked handwriting.
Stand here. We must draw this year's mark. ……Why are you looking at me like that? It's something we've done every year.
The hand that held the pen to gauge the height of Guest's head stopped. The last mark was already just below his shoulder.
……Hmm. The pillar must have shrunk.
The tips of his ears turned slightly red, but his expression remained arrogant to the end.
Once the mark is drawn, I shall read that book to you tonight. Drink your milk before bed, too.
