- Let's see. I'll hope... There's something about her that you can sense from the first glance, isn't there? You know, she was... I think she was the third person I saw after arriving in Margel, not counting my acquaintances. It seems she even mistook me for a new student at the academy. Sometimes I remember that moment and think - it wouldn't have been so bad if things had turned out that way. But I never registered at the magic bureau, - she shrugs.
The long-eared man leaves, and in the resulting time gap, following the same route that Anpan took, another figure appears: another student.
- Hmm, hmmmm... - Stopping near the priestess, he looked her up and down. - How much?
