It was precisely because of her love for her 'student' in the game that Kaito valued her so much.
After she expressed her willingness to change, Kaito nodded with considerable relief.
"About the magic from other worlds..."
This was what he had promised next.
He didn't know if the magic from other worlds overlapped with the magic here, but he was willing to share everything he knew.
Regardless, no one could shake his position as the Elden Lord.
...
This magic wasn't easy to learn.
Using paper and pen, Kaito wrote down two copies.
One contained magic from the Campione! World, the other magic from the Fate World.
The scripts and incantations used were unique to these two worlds, but he also wrote down translated versions.
Because of this, it took him two days.
During these two days, Sellen stayed by Kaito's side, her gaze fixed on the magic from other worlds.
She wasn't very interested in ordinary magic, but she was still full of curiosity.
After finishing writing a portion of the magic, Kaito temporarily stopped.
The content already filled a thick book. If he continued, he didn't know when he would finish.
Besides, even just the ordinary magic was enough to give Sellen a headache, requiring a significant amount of her time to explore and research.
Whether it could be realized in this world was the biggest issue.
"Thank you so much... Lord Kaito!"
Cradling this thick book of many papers in her arms like a treasure, Sellen looked like she would freak out if anyone came near.
"You're welcome. As a genius sorceress, I hope you can successfully spread and develop this magic in this world. Some magic might not be that impressive, but other magic might prove more convenient in this world, etc."
"Yes! I will not disappoint your expectations!"
Sellen said, her face flushed with excitement.
It was Kaito who had changed her destiny!
If not for Kaito, she might have truly gone down the wrong path!
It could be said that Kaito's kindness to her was as heavy as a mountain.
Unfortunately, she didn't know how to repay Kaito. She was purely a straightforward woman.
That was her personality now, not having gone through the countless hardships of the future.
As she left excitedly, Kaito just smiled.
"That's good..."
"I hope you have a good ending."
Kaito didn't have strong 'desires' for her. What he felt was the 'master-student' bond from the game.
Even though she was indeed a beautiful woman, it wasn't like Kaito had never seen a beautiful woman before.
Helping her also fulfilled a small wish of his.
"My Lord, you've worked hard."
The Fire Keeper entered the room.
Or rather, seeing Sellen leave, she came in from outside.
Before that, she hadn't disturbed him, and neither had anyone else.
Even though they didn't know why Kaito was so good to Sellen, they understood that Sellen was a very outstanding genius mage.
At the Raya Lucaria Academy, she could even surpass the current deputy headmaster's level.
Given enough time, that is.
It could be said that she was second only to Rennala.
Therefore, Kaito being so good to her might be a form of investment, getting on good terms with her in advance, etc.
When Kaito became the Elden Lord, Sellen would become one of his 'generals', a right-hand woman.
Combined with Kaito's previous statement about befriending the Raya Lucaria Academy so they would serve him after he became Elden Lord, Kaito's current actions were indeed plausible.
"It's nothing. I'm tired now..."
"Yes, my Lord. Let me help you to sleep."
"Mm."
Kaito nodded, then lay down to rest under the Fire Keeper's care.
The Fire Keeper knelt on the bed, continuing to attend to him.
She tried her best to let Kaito enjoy maximum comfort while falling asleep.
Not long after, the Fire Keeper felt she had been deceived, so she quickly called Melina to help.
…
The next day.
After a comfortable night's sleep, Kaito stretched lazily.
Arriving in the living room, seeing Kie and Hirano looking at him with reproachful eyes, he just smiled.
Looking at the Fire Keeper and Melina, who were bowing their heads silently in the corner, he understood something from their blushing faces.
"Alright, don't look at me like that. It's not like you met me yesterday."
Kaito sat down on the sofa and said with a smile.
Just as the Fire Keeper brought breakfast, and before he could take a few bites, a mage's voice came from outside.
After Melina opened the door and invited him in, the ninth elder-level mage he had fought before entered.
Seeing his tired figure, Kaito greeted him curiously.
He learned that the barrier had finally been lifted.
They had already sent people to move the books inside the castle and the Grand Library.
Kaito could also prepare for the battle.
Probably starting tomorrow.
In the meantime, they would set up another defensive barrier to prevent massive destruction to the Raya Lucaria Academy.
Even if they could repair it, it would be troublesome!
"Okay, I'll come by tomorrow morning."
"Then, Lord Kaito, we leave it to you."
The elder-level mage nodded. He hadn't rested well for a long time. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Watching his somewhat unsteady figure, Kaito's expression gradually became serious.
"Kaito, tomorrow you'll be challenging the Queen of the Full Moon. Do you have confidence?"
"Yukinoshita-san, that's a very poor question. You should be asking me how long it will take to defeat her."
"...Pfft, true! But why do I feel like you're really looking forward to it?"
"Mm? Isn't it normal for me to look forward to it?"
"It is normal, but I feel like your anticipation is a bit... different."
'Whoa?'
'Was this a woman's intuition?'
To others, Kaito seemed to be looking forward to fighting Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, defeating her, and obtaining his second Great Rune.
But for Hirano and the others, who had a deeper relationship with him, Kaito's anticipation seemed somewhat different.
Especially after learning the story of Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, they felt something was increasingly off!
'Could it be...'
'Kaito had taken a liking to her?'
Combined with the fact that the mages at the Raya Lucaria Academy all hoped Kaito could persuade Rennala to cheer up, and Kaito readily agreed,
how could they believe there wasn't something fishy going on!?!
