Leaving the headmaster’s office, Li returned to the classroom together with the male instructor.

Even during that time, Li’s mind was actually completely occupied with one thing.

That was obtaining the long-desired fluff.

However, before that, there was still something she had to do.

That was to converse with the familiar she had contracted.

And the important part was naming it.

By giving a familiar a name, the bond between contractor and familiar deepens.

At the stage of forming a contract, it is about the level of becoming friends.

By naming it, the difference is like becoming family.

By forming a deeper bond, one can draw out more of the familiar’s power.

However, naming it carelessly will not produce such effects.

First, it is important to converse with the familiar and only after a certain level of bond is formed does one proceed to naming.

That was what the male instructor explained to her along the way.

“By the way, what is your familiar’s name, sensei?”

“Ah, that one. That one’s called Sapuir.”

The male instructor scratched his cheek awkwardly, looking a little embarrassed.

Perhaps the sound of the name being somewhat cute was what embarrassed him.

However, Li tilted her head, wondering if there was really anything to be embarrassed about.

Returning to the classroom, the male instructor gave instructions.

Perhaps because they had been firmly warned, the classmates were not acting rowdy.

However, everyone still looked restless.

“Well then, summon your familiars and try talking to them.”

Those who had successfully contracted familiars immediately summoned them, perhaps because they had been made to wait.

Those who had received the magic jewels with summoning magic engraved by Li were also pouring mana into them.

Watching this, Li also summoned the Omniversal Archive Heaven’s Library.

With a sound like air bursting, the fully leather-bound book appeared in midair.

At that very moment, all of the classmates’ familiars vanished at once.

“Ah, so that’s what happens.”

The male instructor pressed a hand to his forehead.

“Li Earlychar Karasebed Quewa. You can go home now.”

“Huh?”

Li let out a foolish-sounding voice.

Several girls from the girls’ group blushed, finding Li endearing.

“When the Omniversal Archive Heaven’s Library is around, the familiars seem to shrink back.”

So that was it, Li thought, understanding.

The Omniversal Archive Heaven’s Library must also have put on some kind of effect when it appeared.

“Understood. Then I will take my leave early.”

“Yeah. I’ll handle things properly here. Even when you get home, make sure you talk with it.”

And so, Li was seen off by the girls’ group as she left.

Only the Saint looked at Li as if she were about to bite down on a handkerchief in frustration.

After returning to the ducal house’s secondary residence in the royal capital, Li informed the escort knights and headed straight for the backyard.

She did not forget to have the area cleared of people.

Just to be safe, she entered the log house that had been left set up and summoned her familiar.

“I believe I understand the situation, my master.”

“That is reassuring, but I do not know how I should go about speaking.”

“No, before that, there is something I wish to say.”

“What is it?”

After a brief pause, the Omniversal Archive Heaven’s Library began to speak.

“My master, I answered this summoning at the behest of the Lord above.”

“You mentioned that earlier as well. That Lord above… could it be the Goddess?”

“That is correct. The Lord above sent me, partly as an apology.”

“An apology?”

“It seems it is for my master having been born in the body of a woman.”

According to the Omniversal Archive Heaven’s Library, the Goddess had been a bit overenthusiastic.

Due to the influence of that divine power, Li’s body had been strongly affected by the Goddess’s power.

“I understand the reason. I am grateful for the Goddess’s consideration as well. But I no longer dwell on it.”

“The Lord above should be relieved to hear those words as well.”

That was true.

At first, Li had cursed being born a beautiful girl.

But she had gotten over it at an early stage.

There was no point in regretting it.

This ability to switch gears quickly was something she had cultivated in her previous life.

It was a sad habit of Li’s, born from having to adapt quickly just to survive.

“Then, shall we move on to the main topic?”

The Omniversal Archive Heaven’s Library said so in a dignified, low voice.
