A successful divination boosts Fina's confidence.
Came back and made a few more attempts, which resulted in continuous frustration.
It was like an elaborate gamble to lure her further into the field with a fortuitous success.
"Failure is the norm, it would be scary to succeed all the time."
Eleazar reassured her, "That nebulous power of fate, what do we pay for it."
"Besides, we're running out of time to verify."
Glancing at the date, he said carefully:
"School will be starting soon..."
Fina glanced at him.
"You used to be stumped when I asked you to go, why are you getting so aggressive now?"
Eleazar smiled dryly and scratched his head.
After coaxing Fina back to packing, his face grew silent.
He didn't know why he wanted to go to college so badly.
All in all, it's just very tempting to go, full of impatience, not wanting to wait a moment, not even knowing why I feel this urge.
As that agenda approached, it was as if a voice inside was roaring.
...
In the tailor's store, Fina bowed her head, "Father, we're going out again."
Fioz looked up from the paper, "It's quite alright, go ahead and spend more time with him, you know more of the hidden secrets, go ahead and guide him to the right path."
"But your body, I'm worried..."
"Don't worry, I'll call you back when I can't hold out any longer."
Fioz nuzzled the black cat at his feet and stroked it gently.
"After all, turning into a soul crystal is more useful than a meaningless death... Brothers... Brothers... should go through the fire and the sword together."
"Eleazar, unlike that Witcher, my memories contain a great deal of hidden secrets of the Dark Council, all of which I spied on when I was an assassin."
Fioz slowly lifted his head, "Daughter, you're not going soft all of a sudden, are you?"
The warlock bowed his head, unable to read the look on his face.
...
At night, a sudden cry wakes Witcher, who is meditating next to him.
Holding a silently weeping Fina, Eleazar is helpless.
Then for the next few days, she wasn't in a good mood.
Without the exuberance of the days he had returned, the divination cards were tossed aside, and like a commoner, he solicited customers in the store and helped with the odd jobs in the store.
The thought of Uncle Fioz, who was not long to live, brought him down a bit.
Approaching his last night of departure, Fioz reluctantly puts down his scissors.
"I remember you guys are leaving tomorrow right?"
"Okay, you two get out of here, you're not going to empathize with empty nesters at all, really..."
The two men who were helping to pull the cloth and measure it looked at each other.
Fina bristled, "I've got a lot of ingredients in the fridge, so if you're free, go cook yourself a little, and don't keep going to the tavern to drink."
Eleazar chimed in, "Take care of yourself, uncle, I'll bring you health pills next time I come back."
Fioz sharpened the scissors, brought them to his eyes, and blew out the dust.
"You two, do you know what dies fastest?"
...
Kicked out of the store, Eleazar covered the large bag on his head and asked Fina curiously, "When did your dad get so cranky?"
Fina slanted him a look, "Actually, I lied to you about him breaking his leg."
"Yeah, you got me beat up!"
The next day, the two said goodbye to their loved ones with some reluctance.
"Uncle, remember to call our school if anything happens!"
"All right, go! Hurry up and go! You guys are making so much noise I can't sleep at night!"
Having Fina help load up a lot of material, the two of them then walked to the station.
Tickets were purchased, boarded, and in the first-class compartment, they snuggled up to each other to study the occult.
Nothing untoward happened, and the train traveled through the night, arriving in the city of Dallon quite smoothly.
Returning to the academy he had been away from for so long, Eleazar looked at the gates in silence.
"By the way, Nana, I found a house out there."
Fina looked back strangely, "Don't you have a private dorm room at school?"
"That place, where a man died, was assigned to me, presumably by accident, and a teacher was sent back to reclaim it, but was sent away by me by less than honorable means, and the school would have found out sooner or later if I had continued to live there."
Fina was thoughtful, "Indeed, come on then, let's go and check out your new lair."
Eleazar scratched his aching head, "Uh, that one I haven't cleaned up yet, the supposedly haunted house."
Fina blanked him at once, "So where are you going to live now?"
"Going to a friend's place to stay for a while until the haunted house is cleaned up."
"Who?"
Eleazar said quietly, "Fintan-san, you've met, he's a knight."
"You know a lot of dangerous people, you're not afraid of people going to report you."
"It won't, because his brother became an illegal transcendent as well, with my help."
Fina: ...
"Achoo~"
After the report, Fintan's classmates, who were ready to go home, suddenly sneezed.
Finnian asked with concern from the sidelines, "Brother, did you catch a cold last night while chasing the culprit?"
"I'm not getting sick, someone is thinking about me!"
Fintan pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his nose, "Maybe it's those thieves I injured last night."
"What a living hell, a Transcendent going to be a thief!"
"What thief?"
Eleazar, carrying a suitcase, suddenly emerges from beside the two.
Fintan glanced at him and said casually, "A group of thieves have recently come to the city, specializing in picking on the rich, their activities are very rampant, I accidentally stumbled upon them yesterday and chased them for half a day, only to find out that they were all Transcendents, they were stealing Transcendent Items marked by the Church, they don't know what to do with their lives."
Eleazar mused for a moment, "Well, it looks like you had a full vacation."
Fintan looked at the guy who had followed him out of the school gates.
"What are you doing?"
Eleazar looked up at the sky, "Going to stay at your house for a while."
"No way!!!"
"I'll pay for lodging and food."
Finnian quickly took his suitcase for him, "You're very welcome oh~"
Fintan burst into a fit of rage, "Finnian, this guy is scheming!"
"How can you talk to a guest like that, brother!"
The two stepped aside to mutter for a moment, and the knight, as if convinced, quickly hitched his head down in a shrug.
Finnian smiled and waved behind him.
"Come on Eleazar-san, let's go, what are you looking at?"
Eleazar retracts his gaze a bit disoriented, "Nothing, let's go..."
...
"Love the way you look in the darkness, never faltering, confronting ~"
Fina, who was guarding the school gate, finally waited for the guy who hummed a tune walked into the school gate with a big stride, and faintly uttered a voice:
"Are you that happy?"
"Huh?"
Evelea cocked her head and thought for a moment.
"Come to think of it, you're Fina from the astronomy department!"
