"Senior Dina, it really was a bother today, goodbye."
"Not at all, being able to help you, Miss, makes me very happy."
At the entrance of the school library, after bidding farewell to Senior Dina, who still didn't realize she had actually lost consciousness for a moment, Dorothy turned around, ready to leave.
As soon as she stepped out of the library, she habitually effaced her presence and stood on the library's flying dock, gazing at the entirety of Witch Academy.
She hadn't felt it while chatting in high spirits in the basement, but now that she was outside, she realized the sun was already sloping westward, nearing evening. The orange hues of the setting sun engulfed the variously sized Floating Islands, and the dreamlike city in the sky appeared intermittently through the cottony sunset clouds, everything looking as beautiful as a dreamscape.
"It really is a beautiful view."
