‘Huh?’

Without realizing it, Eugene was approaching very close.

“Give me your hand.”

That’s what he said, but he was already taking his hand toward my hand.

“Let’s try it on a smaller scale.”

Then he took my right hand and folded my fingers one by one.

The touch was unusually delicate and tender, which surprised me a lot inside.

“Here, focus on your index finger. Try using magic as little as possible.”

He folded the other hand and laid out the spellbook in front of me.

“At first~”

His bright blue eyes were looking straight at me. I could see myself reflected in those eyes.

‘It’s, it’s too close…!’

“Let’s try it. Imagine a magic circle of water while using the flame magic……”

Our eyes met in a flash. At the same time, Eugene stopped talking. While quietly making eye contact.

It was the first time I saw Eugene’s face so close. Silver hair that flutters smoothly and eyelashes that sit on top of sapphire eyes. And thin, long lips.

‘Did he look like this…?’

As my thoughts got there, I suddenly felt like my heart was beating faster.

‘Uh…?’

It was strange.

I’m sure he didn’t like me until recently. Why is my heart beating when I’m looking at him? Eventually, I took a breath and lowered my head.

‘I can’t get caught.’

My heart pounded for fear that he might have seen my face turn red.

‘I must be really crazy.’

It was impossible for me to think Eugene that way.

“……you.”

“Huh?”

When I raised my head, Eugene was still staring at me.

As I was conscious of his gaze, I felt my face was going to heat up again, so I lit up and fixed my eyes on the spellbook.

“What’s wrong?”

I tried to speak calmly, but I couldn’t tell if it went well. I was afraid that I might be caught shaking my voice a little in embarrassment.

“…nothing.”

And Eugene stood up and spoke in a low-key voice.

“Nothing. Practice that anyway.”

Leaving his words behind, Eugene trudged to where he was practising. It felt as though there was still a slight warmth in the hand he held.

‘It’s strange……’

Thinking so, I rolled up my wide-open hand and clenched my fist.

‘No, let’s not think about anything else.’

Eugene, of course, would have been like that without thinking.

It’s so obvious that the other person had no intentions, but I’m having a strange imagination on my own.

Moreover, it is not enough to just pay attention to practice now. I shook my head after changing my mind that I should focus quickly.

When I focused on my fingers and used the flame magic, a small flame as small as a candle flared up.

In that state, I looked at the water magic circle and tried to think of it.

‘Focusing so that both don’t fade….’

Has it been about 15 minutes like that?
