Description

The two welcome the unwanted visitor as family.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • A lot has happened to use since then... but to summarize, I became friends with Felix and Felix began living with us.
  • I think those times were the happiest moments of my life.
  • Felix used magics different from those that we used. Joy wanted to research those magics out of curiosity.
  • Felix was willing to help and the two spent a lot of time in the workshop doing research. I wanted to take part as well, but since everything had to be done in secrecy, the researches were done late at night.
  • And for someone young like me and who was learning the basics of magics, the research was far too dangerous. I knew this... But it was a lonesome experience to be excluded from what my closest friends were doing.
  • No, don't think of such things. This is nothing... This is nothing...
  • Mathi: ... It's not nothing.
  • Mathi said, decisively. I almost fired up to say something, but I couldn't.
  • Mathi had a serious face.
  • Mathi: Joy said that the purpose of her research was to send Felix back where he came from.
  • Mathi: Joy might just leave you at the hands of Landar and leave this world with Felix.
  • What answer did I give him? I can't remember, but I think I told him that he was wrong.
  • Mathi: You never know.
  • Mathi: Adults always make decisions. We kids never get a say in them.
  • That day that I quarreled with Mathi, I came back home furious, but his words still lingered on me.
  • When we first met, we quarreled a lot with some misunderstandings between us. However, when we reconciled with each other, I was able to hear how Mathi came to the Landar Camp.
  • Mathi: My parents sent me to this camp because they said I have magical talents. I never really wanted to come here in the first place.
  • Mathi: I promised that I'd become the best magician in the world before I returned home, but I don't know when I can ever return.
  • Mathi: ... Maybe my parents just wanted to get rid of me.
  • ... I could understand Mathi. We're both abandoned kids. Ever since then, we became friends.
  • But if truth be told... I thought I was different from Mathi. Unlike Mathi, I was chosen.
  • Mathi was always pressured to study so that he could become a genius magician. He believed that only then he would deserve to return home.
  • But I was already at home. I was only doing magic studies because it was fun. It would be great to do things with Joy!
  • I couldn't sleep that night. I crouched under the window of the workshop where Joy and Felix were working, eavesdropping on them.
  • I knew the two have built great friendships from the research they're doing. They always would spend time talking with each other.
  • However... Joy was more of a person in solitude.

Description

With more stories kept away from her, the girl begins to feel alienated.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Felix: ... Isn't that from a long time ago? To humans even more so.
  • Joy: It's hard to get rid of it once perception is set in stone. People will act based on tradition.
  • Joy: The research Beryl Family did with Debrian... It was a breakthrough at the time, but the world collapsed and was considered a treason.
  • Joy: The prohibition pledge written as the price of treason is still in effect.
  • Felix: But aren't the times different?
  • Joy: Huhu, those in control of the rules are more cowardly than you think. They believe in superstitions.
  • Felix: -
  • Joy: Let's say a magician from the Beryl Family became well-known, became the court magician, and caused a problem. How would they see that as? They would say 'Of course this is why we did not allow such things' and continue upholding their beliefs.
  • Felix: What about other things? They probably don't want to worry about such things.
  • Joy: Huhu, it's all pointless now. I am the only Beryl alive.
  • Felix: Is that how you've decided?
  • Joy: Yeah, I'm not going to pass this burden onto Lithia.
  • Joy: I'll be the one teaching her, but once she grows more, I think we can have her run errands for Landar.
  • Joy let out a big sigh.
  • Joy: For me, I left my house at a very young age only to wander for a long time. What should I do to live... Do I have a future... I'm the only one alive in my family, I should do something... I was lost.
  • Joy: Although I was a magician, I found it difficult to openly declare that I am a magician.
  • Joy: Huhu, no one pressured me on these things... I don't know why I'm feeling such a burden.
  • Joy leaned her head on Felix's arm. I could hear the rustling of clothes as Felix adjusted his stance to make it comfortable for her.
  • Joy: ... I sometimes think... Maybe I should just run to someplace where no one would find me.
  • Joy: Huhu, if we really make some breakthrough and we open the gates to your home... Will you take me there also?
  • Felix: You're talking nonsense. What are you going to do in the Demon Realm?
  • Joy: Judging by your response, the place must be really nice. Keeping that all by yourself? That's unfair.
  • Shocked by their words, I returned to my room, leaving the two to have a good time with each other. I felt as if I heard something that I shouldn't have heard.
  • ... Everything that Joy told Felix... I have never heard of them before. I believed that she had no secrets from me...
  • A thought crossed my mind. Joy knows most of my life.
  • But I have no clue what Joy was like when she was young. I never knew what she had thought, how she had grown up.
  • I can't live without Joy, but what if Joy can live without me?
  • The concerns that I had overlooked for so long when Joy first me with Felix swept over me.
  • Maybe, Mathi was right all along.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • After some days, I gathered magic materials unbeknownst to Joy and Felix and headed to my secret hideout in the forest.
  • Mathi: What are you trying to do? I just want to rest today...
  • Mathi seemed to be void of any motivations. Rightfully so, Mathi can't use magic right now.
  • Lithia: It's your fault for believing the Magic Enhancement Potion.
  • Mathi: ... Quit it.
  • Lithia: You really don't want to be a medic? It's a well-respected job and you earn a lot of money.

  • Joy: There's a trend in magic depending on the area. Sometimes, magicians would draw complex circles on purpose so others can't steal their work. Sometimes, there is a shamanistic element added to the circles.
  • Joy: This symbol is to circulate mana twice and activate the circle. It's a way to... conserve mana.

  • Joy: It's your first time seeing this, right? However it looks like, if it acts like a magic circle, it is a magic circle.
  • Joy: The circle is just for shape. You don't need to be bound by it.
  • Lithia: Wow... Joy, can I take this to study?
  • Joy: Sure~ I'll gift this to you, Lithia.
