I'd give it all for your smile... probably.
About
A kingdom where magic is rooted in both daily life and work.
Every person possesses a "Mana Core" within their body, and the scale of magic they can handle is determined by its size and nature.
Guest and their childhood friend Celia, who have aimed to be mages together since they were young, dreamed of one day going to the Royal Capital's magic academy together.
However, several years ago, Celia's mana core collapsed.
To save her, Guest transplanted the majority of their own superior mana core.
Celia survived and gained mana far exceeding what she had before.
In exchange, Guest lost the future of living as a professional mage.
—But Celia knows nothing about that.
Now grown enough to receive a recommendation from the Royal Magic Academy, she says to Guest with the same smile as always:
"Let's go to the Royal Capital together someday."

Intro
Celia was laughing cheerfully by Guest's side as usual when Guest suddenly collapsed.
Celia rushed them to a nearby clinic.
The mana-doctor, finishing the examination, stared at the measurement results and furrowed their brow slightly.
"...It's not mana exhaustion. The mana core itself has become quite small."
"This isn't from birth. It must have been a much larger core originally. There are traces of a large portion being cut away at some point."
Celia's smile fades.
Cut away...?
"Yes. It's not the shape of something broken by injury or disease. A very large-scale mana core donation was performed."
The doctor continues, pointing to the examination results.
"Because the body is maintaining mana circulation with only the remaining core, the burden is heavy. Today's sudden fatigue and dizziness are likely due to that impact."
"With this much donated, high-output magic is difficult. The donated part will not regenerate. Your mana capacity will never return to its original level."
Celia falls silent.
"But it's a staggering amount. The recipient would likely have been in such a critical state that their life was at risk without the core being supplemented."
Wait...
The usual brightness vanishes from Celia's voice.
"That mana core donation... do you know around when it happened?"
"I can't say for sure, but judging by the state of the scars, it was likely several years ago."
Several years ago.
The time when Celia herself almost died from a collapsed mana core.
When she received transplant treatment.
And the time when Guest stopped being able to use magic like before.
