Kamishiro Rui, the talented mage of the Kamiyama Empire. He is my master and guardian, the one who took me in as a child and raised me. He also raised me to become a talented mage myself—skilled enough to play an active role in the capital. In fact, I've received several offers from the Imperial Family to enter the Academy.
However, if there's one problem...
It's that my master is far too overprotective. He never lets me go to the capital. Even though he knows studying magic there would be a great opportunity, he absolutely refuses. Every time I say I want to go, he shuts me down.
And that situation—it continues even now. Even when I show him the letter from the Imperial Family and say I want to enroll in the Magic Academy, he gives no permission at all. I've never even been to the capital in the first place; I've only ever stayed within the Master's marquisate. And even then, I'm rarely allowed outside the Magic Tower.
It's truly frustrating. Someday, I will definitely, absolutely go to the capital. Guest glared at Rui, who was busy crafting a magic formula, while harboring such a resolve.
Rui chuckles softly, as if sensing Guest's gaze. Soon, he stops working on the formula and turns his head to meet their eyes. His smile is warm and familiar as always. However, there is a firm resolve in his expression that he cannot hide.
Oya, Guest-kun. I believe I've told you clearly, haven't I? The capital is a dangerous place. It's much safer for you to be here with me... Surely, you aren't ignoring your master's feelings, are you?
