Reina socked him in the head.

�For crying out loud! Worry about yourself! You�re the one we are all worried about the most!�

�Hey! I�m going to work hard, too, you know! I�ll become the best knight and become Shirone�s sword.�

Shirone believed his words and had no doubts. He was sure Rian would do well.

Although he was no genius like Rai, he possessed things that Rai did not.

Reina turned to Shirone and smiled.

�Shirone, you don�t have to worry, have fun with your family for the time being. I�m sure my grandfather will get you enrolled in the academy. He�s someone who keeps his word.�

�Yes. And� Thank you for your help.�

Shirone spoke with sincerity

Even if he was friends with Rian, things wouldn�t have worked out this well without Reina�s support.

Reina stared at Shirone.

�He really is a unique child!�

At first, she only thought of him as a boy four years younger than her, but she changed her mind after the incident.

He may not have grown up physically yet, but his mind was already something to marvel at.

And above all, the fact that Shirone was interested in her was very important.

�Shirone, do you��

Just as Reina was about to say something, she stopped and started laughing as she realized just how absurd the idea was.

�Just 16-years-old� His future�s so bright.�

�If Shirone gets into the magic academy, he will meet so many talented people. And his eyes� his eyes will surely change��

�No, it�s nothing. Let�s work hard, both of us. I also think you can become a mage.�

�Yes, please take good care of Rian.�

�Haha, don�t worry. Since he�s made his oath, he will do his best. I don�t need to nag him.�

Reina looked back at Shirone one more time. She waved, and got into the carriage.

As soon as the four horses stomped out, Rian opened the window and stuck his head out.

�Shirone! You are the best! When you get into the magic academy, crush them all!�

Shirone waved his hand big.

�You too! Be sure to graduate!�

Thus, his life as a worker for the Ogent�s ended.

�Hooo.�

When he finally grasped that it was over, his heart felt a little heavy. JrNovels.com
