At first, I just wanted to draw whatever I wanted and earn some pocket money along the way...

Unexpectedly, it became an instant hit.

Now, the income from her side job far exceeds the 'legitimate' compensation she receives from accepting commissions from the association.

That's because they wanted to keep it from their teachers; otherwise, their income could have increased even further.

But now it seems...

"I knew about her from the very first day she entered the industry."

After all, she is Ivy's teacher.

If we don't keep a close eye on her movements, what if she goes astray?

It was all for her own good, not for my own amusement.

"Please don't tell her about these things."

"it is good."

Ye Tu agreed quite readily, which surprised Daphne.

Thank you for your understanding.

In any case, agreeing is a good thing.

Daphne finally breathed a sigh of relief after taking the line drawing that Ye Tu had covered on the table and tucking it into another book.

"Alright, let's continue our previous topic." Ye Tu looked at her. "Do you want to learn [Alchemy]?"

"Of course I want to."

With such an amazing skill, would anyone not want to learn it?

I'm not stupid!

"Then thank you very much."

……

……

"Uh~!"

In a reading room, Ivia stretched while sitting on the sofa.

"It's been so long, why hasn't it come out yet?" she muttered softly.

It's been three hours already!

Ivy's desk was piled high with books.

These are all the information she found about the 'Ice Warriors' clan.

As for the 'Ancient Gods'...

It wasn't that she didn't want to look, but that she had searched for a long time without finding it.

That's right.

The world's largest library doesn't even have a single book about the 'Ancient Gods'.

All you can find are a bunch of nonsensical things like "Ancient God Ruins Exploration Guide", "Three Secrets You Have to Tell About Ancient God Ruins", and "Ancient God Falls in Love with Me"!

Especially the book "Ancient God Fell in Love with Me".

As a legendary doujinshi artist, Ivia felt that her imagination was already rich enough.

But the book's content still managed to refresh her understanding, making her feel as if her worldview had been shattered.

No wonder it was rated as the 'top of the three evil books'.

It is said that the author was a missing level nine mage, but it is unknown what kind of twisted mental state he was in when he wrote this book.

"Hmm~"

She yawned, leaned on the table, and picked up the draft she had drawn when she had nothing else to do.

Tentacles, nuns, elves, and a cloud rail train.

Although it was just a few casual strokes, the essence of the new work was clearly expressed.

"The clothing still needs to be altered..."

Everything else is fine, but the elven nun's attire...

She didn't want to get into trouble with those regional knights from the Dawn Empire.

As for whether the elves will cause trouble?

She wasn't worried about that at all.

After all, among all the letters received from readers, the most depressed ones were those from the elves.

Each and every one of them suggested that her art style be bolder.

Even though the proportions of the characters in her works are already quite exaggerated, the elves just felt it wasn't enough.

But how do I change it...?

Tighten the chest area a bit, make the clothing more transparent, and add a black veil to cover the character's eyes...

One idea after another flashed through my mind.

dong dong!

The sudden knocking interrupted her thoughts.

She looked up abruptly and saw Ye Tu standing at the door, watching her.

"gone."

"You've finished talking with the teacher?!"

While asking questions, he hurriedly gathered the drafts on the table together.

He even peeked behind Ye Tu.

"What about the teacher?"

If the teacher sees this, it will be terrible.

"Honey, you already miss me after such a short time apart?"

Ivia was startled, and her movements became even more frantic.

Just as she finished tidying up her draft, Daphne finally appeared in the doorway, smiling at her.

"What's wrong? You seem to be in a hurry."

The two stood there, looking extremely well-matched.

But Ivia didn't care about any of that at the moment.

"No, it's nothing!"

She hid the draft behind her back, her nervousness practically written all over her face.

"Ok."

Daphne pretended not to see it.

"It's nothing, it's alright. It's late now, you should go home and get some rest."

"Uh-huh!"

"Remember to contact me, your teacher, when you have time!"

"understood."

Ivia just wanted the teacher to leave quickly, so she agreed to whatever Daphne said.

Daphne turned and left after saying that.

On the one hand, now is far from the time to bring this matter up.

On the other hand...

She also rushed back to study the alchemy techniques she had just learned.

Ivia breathed a sigh of relief:

"Wait a minute, I'll get ready right away!"

……

……

A few minutes later.

The Mage Guild branch in Saint Lorth.

The two had already emerged from the stone chamber where the teleportation magic circle was located.

Compared to the tension she felt in the library, Ivia was clearly much more relaxed now.

What did you and the teacher talk about just now?

We chatted for over three hours!

Honestly, when she was sitting in the library earlier, she even suspected that the teacher was planning to keep Ye Tu overnight!

"We talked about the 'Ancient God,' herself, and the art of alchemy."

"【Alchemy】? The kind of 【alchemy】you were planning to teach that guy?"

"Ah."

"You didn't teach it to the teacher, did you?" she said with a hint of sourness.

"What?" Ye Tu glanced at her. "You don't want me to teach her?"

"How is that possible!"

That was my most respected teacher!

only……

Ye Tu asked that guy, asked the teacher, but he didn't mention teaching her.

She still felt a little disappointed.

"okay."

Ye Tu was certainly not blind to Ivia's little scheme.

"For you right now, the most important thing is to increase your magic power."

"Learning these trivial things will only distract you."

"There's really no need for that."

Huh?!

Is that how it is?

“You don’t really need to explain so much, I didn’t say anything,” Ivia retorted stubbornly.

Ye Tu simply smiled at this.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Ivia immediately changed the subject.

"So, you've talked to the teacher for so long, what do you think of her as a person?"

"emm..."

What do you think?

Daphne is actually quite an interesting person. She's like a larger version of Ivia, but less innocent. Perhaps because it's our first meeting, she seems a bit reserved.

But this is normal; after all, not everyone is as fearless in their ignorance as Ivy.

"It's alright."
