A year had passed, and I was now in my second year of school.
Time shifted from summer to autumn.
It was during a three-day weekend in October.
Over the past year, I had actively participated in various events. For example, I went moon-viewing with Aya-chan, attended Christmas parties, got invited to a Christmas party at Nina-chan's house, and even went to the first shrine visit of the new year together.
Meanwhile, in between these moments, I had exorcised many monsters. While I could feel myself growing stronger, I was also aware that if I spent too much time without fighting, I might forget that feeling.
That's why I couldn't afford to slack off in learning new magic.
