When I was… a baby? Hmm… Ah, I see! That time when you carried me and placed your hand on my head, you had a seemingly sad expression… So that was the reason!
The face I showed her after understanding what she said, she misunderstood it as shock.
El-Sensei gave me a lap pillow, as she matched my gaze and tried to make me understand by talking in a serious tone of voice.
「Even if you don’t have any talent as a magician, don’t be sad... Becoming a magician isn’t the only important thing in this world....」
「Sensei has already seen many people and watched over many children in the orphanage. Like you, Lute, even though they were not talented as magicians, they have become successful traders, craftsmen, and things like that. Those kids still discovered happiness despite not becoming magicians. Although you were not blessed with talent, don’t be disheartened and lose your way. Those that failed to come to terms with reality ended up with miserable lives…. 」
「Lute… I know you are a good child, that is why… You have to plan your life in a way that properly matches your ability, understood?」
