Chapter 4: Lost Magic

The day after Cyrus fell in love with Maria, I went to the field together with her.

I waited for her after work, and Dewey looked envious when he saw us together. I would have gladly asked him to come along if it were my field, but I couldn’t do the same with Cyrus’s field. Maria was an exception, since she was part of my plan to help him overcome his fear of girls, but I had no such excuse for Dewey.

I apologized to him in my heart, as he looked at the two of us walking away with a sad expression. He’s always so cute though. Makes you want to pat his head.

On the other hand, though, Dewey was one of the characters who was supposed to bring Katarina (that is, me) to her doom... But how? Unlike Cyrus, he couldn’t use magic, was shorter than me, and, most importantly, he was so cute. If anything, I think I could even win against him in a fight.

“Is anything the matter?” asked Maria, noticing that I was spacing out while thinking about that.

Right, Maria’s been working alongside Dewey all this time. I’m sure she knows a lot about him.

“Ah, I was just thinking... Dewey’s cute and small, but, uhm, can he like... lift heavy stuff and such?”

Is he actually stronger than he lets on? Would I win against him in a fight? Is what I actually wanted to ask, but that would raise too many questions.

“Lady Katarina, Dewey is a boy, so he would take offense to being called cute and small,” she said with a dry smile. “And despite his looks, he is quite strong. He used to do a lot of manual labor at home.”

That was surprising, but I guess you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Now that I thought about it, I remembered hearing about him being raised in a poor, troubled household, and also about how he was picked on because of how smart he was... Maybe he was stronger than I had originally thought.

Ugh! And I thought I could defeat him easily! My only hope is training to become stronger!

We finally reached the field, where Cyrus was already waiting, though he looked more gussied-up than usual.

“Hello there,” he greeted us with an unusually radiant smile. Actually, he was probably mostly greeting Maria.

Romance novels say that people change when they fall in love, but this was just incredible. Cyrus’s fear of girls is cured, isn’t it? I thought, but unfortunately he still looked nervous when talking to her.

She started skillfully helping with the field, explaining that, “I often helped Lady Katarina when she was farming at the academy.”

“That’s wonderful!” he commented happily, showing that he had made at least some progress.

After that — possibly because of the power of love — Cyrus more or less kept talking with Maria. I was positive that at this rate, he’d overcome his fear in no time.

For our usual break, the blanket we were sitting on
