Let's Imagine: My Mentor's Arrival?!

—Clank Clank Clank

The metal footsteps got closer as I peered from behind my book.

"… I'm glad she allowed you to come here."

`W-wait… That voice.`

A woman with silver hair walked down the side of the hallway and turned into the corridor.

I put my book down and let out a sigh.

"Oh, Calina! It's just you!"

Calina walks over and gave a confused expression.

"Yeah… I asked Iyuna for you to get special permission to the restricted section of the Akralem Atheneum."

She pulled a seat from my table and sat with one arm hanging over the back of the chair.

"So… You learned anything interesting."

I look towards the book then back to her.

"I think…?"

"You… Think?"

"W-well, it's just that when I read something like this, I need to read it a few times for me to comprehend the text."

"… What? You're kidding rig—You're not kidding."

I sigh, and I feel the dips and edges of the book's top cover.
