The Life Magic Depart sun

Inside the rooh to accommodate three people

To the left of theis a bookshelf used to store book on ic, and in the interior portion of the room a counter for culinary purposes has been installed

On the table lays one er coin

“… And that’s the situation This is the departet for this year” (Carr)

Saying sorry, Cutty Carr apologized to her members

“Y-You don’t need to apologize, Professor” (Reeone)

Reeone Stavf looks over her shoulder as she prepares tea at the counter She has chestnut-colored shoulder length brown hair and gentle features She is adorned with an eic Department’s uniform

“No, Professor went to the budgetbeen unable to obtain ize She is not mistaken” (Souko)

Sitting opposite of Carr on the sofa, Souka Inaba, a young fox-tribe girl, shakes her head

Above her long white hair two fox ears stand straight up Because her face is covered by a fox mask, her facial expression cannot be read

However, even though her tone was soft, her anger was clearly visible by the ruffled state of her tail

“Wha-, Souko-chan!?” (Reeone)

“Well, even if she apologizes, the situation won’t change for the better So, I think this should be enough” (Kenny)

Sprawled out on the innermost portion of the U-shaped sofa, a male student waves his hand carelessly

He has unkeh to hide his eyes, and in addition to his slow and carefree way of speaking, his whole body exudes a un

His name is Kenny D’rack

Reeone, Souko, and Kenny — all three are second year students, and including Carr they ic Department

“Even Kenny-kun!?” (Souko)

“Uuuuuugh… I’m so pathetic I wish I could become a clam and live at the bottom of the sea”

Though no one is particularly bla her, Professor Carr’s mood sinks in the sullen atmosphere

“D-Don’t feel down, professor I’ve finished preparing the incense tea Here, have some”

Having separated herself from the counter, Reeone rees them on the coffee table

Following behind her carrying a cookie jar is a thin, pitch-black silhouette — her shadow familiar

“Thank you… Stavf-san… thank you too, Shadow-chan” (Carr)

“At any rate, our et is already a done deal We have to think about ere going to do from now on” (Souko)

“If only we at least had last year’s budget… well, it’s just a waste of ti the decision sounds troublesome” (Kenny)

Souko and Kenny discuss things together

These two are the brains of the Life Magic Department

“However, just taking things lying down isn’t ” (Souko)
