Slowly, carefully, I poured hot water into the teapot. The full-bodied aroma of the finest leaves the southern principalities could produce filled the little room. I mentally congratulated myself on buying tarts from the café with the sky-blue roof to share with everyone.

I hope Soi and Uri are all right. I’ll have to ask them what happened later.

A nervous knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. “From the royal capital,” the young conductor said, then left before I could say thank you.

I arranged the white porcelain teapot and cups on a tray, casting a levitation spell to ensure nothing would break. Then I took the sheet of paper wedged in the door.

It’s from...the royal guard. Richard, then.

“Both bodyguards unable to join you. Be on your guard. Teto.”

Something had happened at Central Station, and neither Soi nor Uri was in any state to answer questions about it. Teto had withheld details and kept her message short, meaning she worried it might be intercepted. The methods didn’t seem in keeping with the apostles. Still, this certainly spelled trouble.

I incinerated the paper with a spell, then cast probes with light, darkness, and lightning just to be safe. Tray in hand, I returned to the happily chatting girls.

“I appreciate your patience, my ladies,” I greeted them theatrically.

The Howard sisters blushed and stammered a “Thank you.”

“D-Don’t tell me... Are you a b-butler?! Is that your butler impression?!” Lily fumed like a child. “I told you, serving tea is a maid’s job! My job!”

I pulled out a folding table and secured the tray in place.

“Now,” I said, sitting beside Tina and starting to pour, “let’s make sure we’re all on the same page about this journey to Lalannoy. Stella, would you mind projecting a map for us?”

“N-Not at all.” Saint Wolf, always the eager student, waved her hand and sent lights darting through the air. In no time at all, they formed a map of the west of the continent. I had explained the method in her assignment notebook, but she had clearly been practicing.

Is she lacking anything, except self-confidence?

“So, um...” Stella looked timidly up at me as I fetched a paper bag down off a shelf. “Wh-What do you think?”

“Perfect, my lady,” I replied, opening a paper box emblazoned with the image of a black cat to release a subtly sweet aroma—the aforementioned tarts. “May I offer you first choice to celebrate your accomplishment?”

“Wh-Why, thank you.” Stella giggled shyly, raising her dainty fingers to her cheeks. Glittering snowflakes glanced. I could practically see little white wings fluttering behind her.

Quoth Caren: “Stella’s popularity has skyrocketed this semester.” People in the southern capital and city of water revered her as a saint. Then again, she had become an angel, so perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised that she’d attracted a following.

“Now, Tina,” I said, turning to the great sorceress in the making as she sipped her tea. “Would you kindly give us a brief overview of Lalannoyan history?”

“Yes, sir.” Tina set her cup on the table and cheerfully reached for the map.
