Mage Manual

Another girl holding a hefty weapon like a shield axe, yet dressed in a strappy tube top and semi-transparent armguards, with athletic shorts under a transparent short skirt, Felix doesn’t need to ask to guess who she is: Black Crow Tamasi!

"It really is little Filly!"

Freyja seemed to have forgotten she was upset earlier, pounced on Felix and hugged him excitedly, saying, "You’re joining our team too!? That’s great, let’s adventure together on Ruby Mountain!"

Felix knew from the diary that they could team up, but they themselves didn’t know the mechanics of teaming up, so she had never dared to hope for such luck: "Can I really?"

"Of course you can. In fact, even if you don’t want to, the next time you enter the Void Realm, you will be teamed up with us." Siflin eyed her with a subtle gaze: "You teleport straight into the surroundings of our team, anyone who appears this way will be bound with us."

Adventure with these talented female mages? Felix’s heart skipped a beat, feeling like a sleepy person finding a pillow or a hungry person finding a fluffy bun, "Of course I’m willing!"

"Yay, now we finally have five people!" Meiwa cheered: "More than the Queen’s group!"

"Queen’s group?" Felix blinked.

"Sword Maiden and the others are the Queen’s group, we’re the Princess’s group, Freyja named us." Hanna said with a somewhat peculiar tone: "Actually, we’ve had two harsher, more direct names for this grouping before..."

"That’s history now!" Freyja said with hands on her hips: "Ever since the bathtub, there’s no more win or lose, only the distinction between Queen and Princess!"

"Hello, I’m Black Crow Tamasi." Tamasi greeted somewhat shyly.

"Hello, I’m... Duchesses Felix?" Felix wasn’t sure about her codename, and just made one up.

Although the name Queen and Princess felt odd, it was just a title anyway, and she was just following them on adventures.

"Now that we have five people, surely next time we can defeat the Queen’s group?" Tamasi asked.

Freyja was full of fighting spirit: "Of course, how could four people beat five?"

Felix felt a bit scared hearing this: "Everyone, Sword Maiden and the others are now the Six-winged God, even if we’re Legendary Mages, I fear we can’t—"

"What is there to fear, love battles have nothing to do with strength." Freyja waved her hand grandly: "True feelings are the decisive key element; love can melt everything!"

Vosloda’s second miss was startled: "What love battle?"

"The war for Ash, of course." Freyja held Felix’s arm, looking innocently as though playing house: "Now we have one more person than them, getting Ash on our side is just around the corner!"

"Huh?" Felix was shocked, hurriedly shaking her head: "I don’t want to participate!"

"Why not? Five is greater than four, our chances of winning are high, and we can redistribute afterwards!"

"Because I, I," Felix stammered: "I don’t like Ash! Why should I fight for him?"

Everyone exchanged glances, Freyja and Siflin said: "Turns out little Filly is like you, she’s tsundere too."

"I’m not tsundere!" Siflin and Felix retorted in unison.

"There’s no need to hide, there’s no one else here." Hanna said: "It seems the only entry criteria for this team is having a crush on Ash."

"But I really don’t!" Felix was about to go crazy: "I despise Ash the most, that kind of trash crawling out of the dumpster, shameless and unrepentant, making everyone miserable to satisfy his own desires, I would never—"

"Don’t speak ill of Ash!" Tamasi frowned, stepping forward with killing intent: "Or else don’t blame me for being rude."

"Oh Tamasi, you don’t get it," Freyja held back Tamasi and explained earnestly: "Tsundere means even if you like them in your heart, you have to show an extremely disdainful attitude on the outside—"

Felix hadn’t had a chance to move, but Siflin embraced her first, having a look of ’Look, now it’s your turn’ like she was watching a show, leaving Felix gloomy.

"Alright then, let’s just assume you really don’t like Ash." Hanna said: "But we regularly hold developer conferences with Ash, you know."

Felix froze: "You hold what?"

"○○ parties."

"He’s not even on Ruby Mountain—"

"The Fifth Pillar God’s Brilliant Firefly Princess will pull us into the Thought Space," Siflin said: "Last time it was a bath scene, the next who knows what it’ll be."

"Don’t be nervous, you can skip it. Ash won’t force anyone." Hanna said, but before Felix could relax, she added: "You can just watch from the side."

Watch from the side...

Watch...

Remembering the unexpected glimpse on Bride’s Night, Felix’s face burned, feeling steam rising from her head.

"Eh?" Freyja’s intelligence suddenly hit a peak: "After being with Ash for half a year, you haven’t...?"

"No!" Felix hurriedly explained: "I’ve already said I hate him—"

"Liar, you’re always stuck to Ash, surely you’ve ○."

"I think so too, during the Gospel I saw her inseparable from Ash, even if not ○ then still ×."

"Few days ago, I saw her happily leave Ash’s room..."

"I’ve just kissed Ash at most!" Felix loudly defended her reputation: "Really haven’t gone any further than that!"

The air on Ruby Mountain plunged into silence, the female mages blinked, all gazing at her. Felix opened her mouth, unable to say anything, her face so hot she couldn’t think, turned to run, but Freyja pounced first and hugged her, happily congratulating: "Welcome to the Princess’s group!"

Star Cluster harm me, better pray to the Gods of Four Pillars next time, Felix thought.
