After a few more words, Alyx broke off to study her spellbook in the courtyard. As for me, I went to the palace entrance, as it was the room that had the spells. There was the consideration to join Alyx, but there was also the fear of tearing the paper as well as being a bother.
And so, I ended up just sitting down to continue to memorize the spell. As expected, my mind was now up to the task.
Every few moments, I would need to take a break. With how slow and torturous the process was, I could easily notice when it was becoming night. For a moment, I thought about continuing, but it was probably too much for me.
After all, not only would I make little progress, but there was still the farm work to do. With that reasoning, I went up to my room while clutching the side of my head.
In the distance, I could see Alyx. She was yawning while rubbing one of her eyes. Alyx noticed me and gave me a small wave.
"...Night."
