To loosen the slightly stiffened atmosphere, Crosseau-san sipped from her teacup.

The sight of a beautiful and quiet lady drinking tea is very picturesque, isn’t it

 

…Come to think of it, I’ve never had tea before, but what does it taste like

I gently lift the teacup, steam rising from it, and huff and puff.

I let it cool down to the point where I thought it wouldn’t burn me, and then I put it in my mouth to savor it slowly.

 

「It’s bitter…」

 

The gap between imagination and reality caused me to speak out my impressions.

I think I am frowning so much that even I can see the wrinkles between my eyebrows.

In the manga and anime, elegant young ladies drank it with relish, but I guess you have to be a real young lady to appreciate tea.

 

「Fufuh, I see Sylph-san has a childish streak in her as well.」

「Bitter things are bitter whether you are a child or an adult.」

 

I couldn’t help but complain to Crosseau-san, who was smiling happily, as if she had lost her poker face and couldn’t help but laugh.

But I think Crosseau-san is wrong too.

Laughing at me when I say it’s bitter is like treating me like a child and making fun of me.

 

「You’re right about that.

It is certainly true.

You can add sugar to make it a little easier to drink, so why not give it a try I recommend putting in two or three to start with.」

「Thank you very much.」

 

Crosseau-san said in a gentle tone of voice, and when she opened the lid of a small pot-like white ceramic pot, I found it filled with pure white sugar cubes.

She grab the white cubes with small tongs and slowly throw them into my tea.

She repeated the same process two more times, mixed it well, and drank it again.

The bitterness was not completely gone, but it was easier to drink than before.

 

「I’m glad you liked it.」

 

Before I knew it, Crosseau-san had returned to her poker face, and his joyful laughter had reverted to an inorganic, non-inflected tone.

 

When the atmosphere had become somewhat more relaxed than at first, Crosseau-san returned to the topic.

 

「From what I hear, Sylph-san already has experience in defeating the Marquis-class.」

「It appeared in my area the other day.

I’ve actually fought them and I don’t lag behind unless they are very incompatible to me.」

 

Besides, I’ve been fighting a grouped Marquis-class in a joint front with Rabbitfoot-san, and we didn’t have a particularly hard time.

I can never be too careful, but if I’m careful, I will not lose.

 

「If you understand it that well, you don’t need my advice.

However, I will be accompanying you on your mission for the next few days for training purposes as well.

This is not a suggestion made in good faith, it’s kind of my job, so please don’t think you have the right to veto it.」

「Is it training You mean you don’t just go there and beat the Diest」

「To be honest, I will tell you that the purpose of the training is to show what Sylph-san is capable of.

Please understand that Extend-san has taken the same measures.」

「I don’t mind, but was that something you were allowed to say」

 

I know it’s an oxymoron to say that she’s going to show me how good she was, but it means something like testing and monitoring.

If she was going to gather information by seeing the actual battle firsthand, such as where my ability stands among the Witches and whether there are any problems with my behavior, why don’t she tell me that

 

「It would be even more complicated if I misled you badly and made you suspicious.

If you had not asked me, I would not have answered your question.」

「I’ll put it bluntly.」

 

She knows I’m on alert.

I’m sure that Crosseau-san understands that I don’t trust her enough to believe what she says when I turns down a proposal that at first glance has no disadvantages for me.

 

「If we could gain trust simply by telling people to believe us, we would have no trouble.

Trust is built up through action.」

「Yes, you’re right.

I agree with you too.」

 

So, in other words, she have piled up the first stone.

It’s certainly more sincere than just blowing smoke up her ass, but it’s suspicious because she’s talking about it.

 

「Back to the story.

In principle, quotas are to be borne equally by all Witches except the Sleeping Witch, but there are exceptions.

There are several patterns, but the most common is when the Witch herself wants to increase her quota.

As it stands, Discause-san, Permafrost-san, and Simeracres-san have completed more assignments than any other Witch.」

「Is that because they still want points」

 

I have gone through everything I could find out about witches by searching.

 

I found out that Discause-san does not post videos, does not have a social networking service, and is basically a solo artist, just like I was until a while ago.

 

It seems that Permafrost-san has been active as a Witch for quite some time, but she only became prominent in videos, social networking sites, and other public appearances about 9 years ago, and she has been around ever since, her appearance hasn’t changed.

She seems to be the reason why there are whispers of an urban legend that Magical Girls never grow up.

The video shows that she is a child of her age in behavior, and she may not have really grown up, physically or mentally.

 

I don’t know if these two are actively fighting for points or if they have another goal, but on the other hand, Simeracres-san was very clear.

She’s a mercenary businessman and she’s a big promoter of my activities, so I’ve found so much information that I can’t be bothered to look through it just to do a little research.

She seems to be senior mercenary who demand higher compensation than the market rate for her work.

It seems that there are a certain number of Magical Girls who earn points by selling their strength in this way, and these Magical Girls are collectively called Mercenaries.

Simeracre-san is the only Witch among the Mercenaries, which means that she is the only Witch, so her fees are rather expensive, but she is very sought after.

 

By the way, I don’t need to talk about Lazy Lady-san, or maybe that’s the reason why no quota was imposed to her, I doubted at first glance that what was written in the article was true, but when I saw the video I had to believe it.

No wonder that person continues to hold the number one spot in the ranking order.

 

「I don’t even know what everyone is thinking about fighting for.

I’m sure each of them has their reasons for doing so, just as Sylph-san has her reasons for doing so.」

 

That’s true, too.

I’m not interested in what other Witches are fighting for, if they don’t mind me asking, but I’m only interested in what other Witches are fighting for, just as a talking point.

The more other Witches take on the work, the less work I have to do, so whatever the reason, it can only be good for me.

 

「From now on, Sylph-san will be included in the rotation of assignments, but you will receive intensive assignments during the training period.」

「How long can I expect the training to last」

「It is more of a frequency than a duration, but at least 5 times for the Marquis-class and once for the Duke-class.

The Duke-class rarely appears, so consider it five times for now.

If the Duke-class appears in the future, as a rule, Sylph-san, Extend-san and I will be forced to participate.」

 

That’s reasonable, is it

There is the question of whether it takes five times to my competence, but I don’t know what the salve is there, and it’s not so many times that I feel it’s unreasonable.

In terms of emotional compromise, it is still reasonable.

 

「Will the training begin with my next assignment」

「Not yet, you will have to wait a little while as we have not yet finished the training for the Extend-san.

We will contact you when the time comes.

We can’t go through the Bureau of Magic every time we want to communicate with you.」

「………Understood.」

 

She really don’t want to tell me, but it is normal to use a company phone for business communication.

Magiphone is a device for magical girls, so in a way it is a smartphone for business use.

If that is the case, as a person who does the work, she can’t say that she don’t want to teach me here.

I had a big struggle to come to that conclusion, but this is my job.

Giving out my contact information is part of my duties as a Magical Girl.

She had no other intentions, so it’s okay.

 

「You can rest assured that we will not contact you without your permission.

The only time we will contact you is to notify you of a Tea Party or an emergency meeting.」

「Please don’t misunderstand me.

It’s not that I don’t want to tell Crosseau-san, I just don’t like giving out my contact information to anyone.

But it’s my job, so I’ll put up with it.」

「I don’t know about that… But you’re great for putting up with it.」

 

I made Crosseau-san uncomfortable because of the obvious pause.

I decided to follow up with her because I didn’t want her to make the troublesome mistake of thinking I disliked Crosseau-san or something.

I feel like I’m being treated like a child, but it’s better than things getting weird.

 

「Now that the quota has been explained, do you have any questions」

「Even though it is obligatory, it does not mean that we are forced to transfer to the battlefield, does it What happens if I refuse」

「There is no actual case, so this is a stipulation, but at that point, you will be disqualified from being a Magical Girl.」

 

I had no intention of refusing, but I can’t lose my Magical Girl powers just yet.

Let’s just be mature and do my duty.

 

「You said that the Witch’s only duty was to make quotas, but is that all you have to say today」

「No, what I am going to explain to you today is not only the duties of a Witch.

I told you at the beginning.

At some length.」

 

As for me, I would like to hear about the factions, so my question was rather meant to ask if this is all there is to it, but I am relieved to hear that it is not over yet.

It is said that the god who does not touch you will not be cursed, but if you don’t know anything about it, the god may actively touch you and then resent you for it, and you may be cursed.

I don’t intend to get involved, but I would like to know what’s going on.
