7. Fates Tend to Intertwine

Let’s turn back time a bit...

Together with Magiluka, who clung onto me like never before, I headed to the royal capital from the academy. I’d been bothered by the cowlick bouncing above her head the entire time, and I was struck with the urge to grab at it. A battle ensued within me as I fought against the impulse.

Once we arrived at the royal capital, Magiluka started shopping around, which had nothing to do with my research report topic—or maybe I just didn’t realize her intentions, and she was actually snooping around. I tried to closely inspect her movements, but it seemed like she was just genuinely enjoying her shopping. She was currently extremely hard to read, so I wasn’t able to answer her expectations or predict the way she’d think like I normally could.

“H-Hey, Magiluka,” I said. “C-Can you take the difficulty down a notch?”

“Hm? Whatever do you mean by a notch?” Magiluka asked quizzically as though she was baffled by my words. “Like this?”

She proceeded to crouch down in place and look up at me. She likely didn’t understand what I’d said, but she’d understood the word “down” and had tried to lower her position. Yep, she’s cute. She’s so, so cute. It’s so rare to see her acting this adorably. I couldn’t help myself from smiling at how cute my friend was. Indeed, I was totally helpless before her.

“My lady...” Tutte called from behind me.

“Ack! R-Right, no, Magiluka, you don’t have to crouch,” I hastily said, realizing that I was having my friend crouch in the middle of the road. “You can forget what I said.”

“All right! Then I’ll forget it all!” Magiluka said with a smile, extending her hand to me.

It seemed she wanted me to help her stand back up. I still felt like she sounded a bit airheaded, completely unlike her usual intelligent attitude.

“Hmm... I was hoping for some kind of inspiration at the royal capital, but everything feels so vague,” I said. “I don’t know where to start looking. Maybe I should narrow it down to things related to magic.”

“In that case, why don’t we visit the magic tool shop that my grandfather frequents?” Magiluka suggested. “It’s a large store with quite a few items to choose from.”

“Huh, that sounds like it’s worth a look. Let’s go.”

I gazed at my reliable friend with gratitude, knowing that I could always count on her. She smiled and approached my side. I felt like she was lowering her head slightly.

“Hm? What’s wrong, Magiluka?” I asked.

“Have I...been helpful to you?” she asked back.

“Of course you have. Thank you.”

She clutched my side, her head still lowered. Wait, does she want me to pet her? She’s not Safina. There’s no way... This is Magiluka we’re talking about.

“Have I...been helpful to you?” Magiluka repeated, clearly waiting for a reward that wasn’t just a word of thanks.

Still feeling unsure, I gingerly placed my hand over her head and petted her.

“Eh heh heh heh. ♪” Magiluka giggled, rubbing her face against me happily like a cat.
