I'd like to know that too

And so, I ended up learning some simpler magic.

"Thanks in advance～."

"… Was that magic from before really your weakest attack spell, Karina-san?"

"Hm? Well… it's more like my weakest attack method? I specialize in Spatial Magic, you see. Dea-kun, could you fire a spell at me real quick?"

"Sure… O wind, rend and tear, Air Cutter."

The wind blade came flying at me and I stored it away with Spatial Magic.

"!?"

"See, if I release stored magic like this, I can technically use a weaker attack spell? Here."

"!?!?"

I released the stored magic from my pocket dimension toward a target, and Iz-sensei's glasses slid down again.

Lakto-sensei, who'd come along as chaperone, had his hand on his head.

"… Um, Karina-san? How much… how much mana do you even have…?"

"Who knows?"

"Oh, Karina-san's mana is unmeasurable. I nearly went blind from the light of the measurement Magic Tool. Actually, I did go blind."

"Lakto-sensei, were your eyes okay!?"

"She healed them for me. Fixed my vision while she was at it."

"You're the one who made Lakto-sensei's glasses unnecessary!? How could you! The healing itself, I'm grateful for, but how could you!!!"

Oh my, Iz-sensei is a glasses extremist.

"Ah, well, I could revert your vision back to how it was if you want…"

"No, no, not at all. Not straining my eyes while reading is important, and besides, I'd hate for the fashion glasses Iz-sensei picked out for me recently to go to waste."

"Oh my, oh my. Iz-sensei?"

"Wh-what!? Stop that smirking grin this instant!?"

Oh～? So you two are actually making progress! Hehe. Love to see it.

"Deasalt-sama would look good in glasses too, I think."

"… I'm not wearing them, Flaretart."

"Dea-kun would totally look good in glasses, I completely agree. I wanna see."

"… Understood. I'll arrange a pair."

Now, now, Dea-kun, you shouldn't neglect your fiancee. Right?

Oh, I'll get Fletta-chan a matching pair too! Don't worry, I've got plenty of money!

"Even so, restoring someone's vision… Karina-san, can you use Healing Magic too?"

"I fixed it through a little application of Spatial Magic."

"… Um, what exactly is Spatial Magic…? What element does it fall under?"

"Huh, you don't know about Spatial Magic? Even though you're a magic school teacher?"

"L-Lakto-sensei?"

Iz-sensei shot Lakto-sensei a look begging for help.

"… Space-Time Magic is classified as non-elemental, but it's not something humans can use. Well, excluding Karina-san, I suppose? Karina-san, how did you acquire that magic?"

"I'd like to know that too."

"Ahh…"

Is it okay to tell them? Well, it's not really something I need to hide from teachers.

… Ooh, actually, maybe I should charge a little info fee while I'm at it!

"There are certain conditions you'd need to meet before I can share that. Iz-sensei, may I borrow your ear for a moment?"

"Yes?"

"… Nom."

"Kyaaaaaah!? Wh-wh-wh-what are you doing, Karina-san!? Stop—"

"Shworry, thish ish one of the condishions… just a shec. Mmm. Lovely flavor…"

"Ngh… kh, ugh!"

Having her elf ears nibbled right in front of Lakto-sensei, the embarrassment was hitting her perfectly… Hehehe. Good, more, more!

"Phah. Now then, Iz-sensei, I'll need your socks. The ones you're wearing right now. Take them off, right here."

"Huh!? Why!?"

"Oh. My apologies. Let me correct that. Please have Lakto-sensei take them off for you."

"…!?!?!?"

Iz-sensei's face went beet red in an instant.

Bewilderment and bashfulness.

"Go on, ask Lakto-sensei yourself?"

"!!!!???!?!?"

Confusion, aversion, thirst for knowledge, and love all warring with each other.

Ahh, how cute. This is adorable.

So this is how cute a maiden in love can be… I'm starting to understand how the Goddess feels!

"Karina-san? Please don't tease Iz-sensei too much."

"Oh, sorry, Lakto-sensei. This is legit… it's necessary."

"A-at least let me change into a fresh pair first! I'd be fine with that!"

"That would defeat the purpose, unfortunately… Well, I don't really mind, you know. I just won't tell you, is all."

Then I whispered into the ear I'd just been nibbling on.

"But don't you think Lakto-sensei would want to know…? The origin of such a special kind of magic…!"

"Grk!"

"Oh, Iz-sensei? I really don't mind either way. Even if you'd rather not."

"F-fine then! Lakto-sensei, please remove my socks!!"

"That's what I wanted to hear…! Alright then, please go ahead and remove them, Lakto-sensei!"

"… Sigh. You'd better actually teach her, alright? Iz-sensei, please raise your foot. I'll take your shoes off first."

"Y-yesss…"

And with that, Lakto-sensei knelt down and removed Iz-sensei's shoes.

"Lakto-sensei, how do Iz-sensei's socks smell? That's actually a critical data point here."

"Karina-san!? Karina-san!! Please have mercy!?"

"… Well, nothing in particular to report."

"～～～～～～!!"

Ahh, Iz-sensei's face is bright red. Wonderful!

"… They're off. Is this sufficient?"

"Both feet, please. Oh, here are some replacement socks, brand new. Please put them on her."

"You came quite prepared. So this wasn't just set up to tease her, it seems."

"Well, like I said, this is legit…"

Lakto-sensei smoothly slipped the new socks onto the now-bare foot. The other foot too, please～.

Oh, I'll be collecting the used socks. Yes. That's the most important part, you see. Indeed.

"… Deasalt-sama. What are we being made to witness?"

"You didn't have to watch, you know?"

No, no, please do watch and heighten the embarrassment!

"… I can never be a bride now…"

"No, no, that's not true at all, it was just a sock change, okay? … Right??"

"That's right. Lakto-sensei could take responsibility and make you a bride, or you could take Lakto-sensei as your groom."

"Huh?"

"Huh? ♡"

I collected the socks from Lakto-sensei. Alright, tribute get!

"… Deasalt-sama. What were we just made to witness?"

"You didn't have to watch, I think?"

Hey! Dea-kun, you know a little about my circumstances, don't you!?

"It's not like I want to do this stuff, you know!?"

"Huh?"

"That's not what it looked like."

Okay, fine, I won't deny I was having a little fun!!

"Well, since Iz-sensei has passed the trial, I'll tell you how I acquired Spatial Magic."

"… I'm listening."

She leaned in close. I wanted to nibble her ear again, but after what I'd just said in front of Dea-kun, I held back.

"The truth is, it's a magic that the Goddess made me learn."

"… Excuse me? Um, you're joking—"

"This magic destroyed Alchemia."

"— What?"

"The Goddess used my body to spam Spatial Magic all over the place… Just between us, the Goddess apparently doesn't take kindly to people insulting her lover… She made me learn it to eliminate a self-proclaimed Chaos God who'd been using her lover's name without permission, and the collateral damage wiped out Alchemia."

"— What?"

"Let me say it again. Wiped it out. With Spatial Magic alone."

"… Whaa…"

"Whether you believe me or not is up to you, and you probably won't, but if you value your life, never claim to be the Chaos God. Unless you want an assassin sent by the Goddess… got it?"

"Hweh…"

Oops, maybe I went too far with the intimidation… Iz-sensei started crying, so we're calling it a day! That's a wrap, that's a wrap!

You can tell Lakto-sensei, but only Lakto-sensei, okay, Iz-sensei!
