Ero suddenly raised his head, staring speechlessly at the person in front of him.

In Willy's mind, someone had already prepared the voice for him.

"Host! When did you come up with a solution?! How come I didn't know about it?!"

Vili frowned and rubbed his ear.

"Keep your voice down."

"Uh... I'm sorry, host..."

"I didn't tell you because it wasn't urgent. In my plan, it wasn't the right time to implement this yet."

It's definitely not because he forgot.

"...What is it?"

This time, it was the Eloti system that asked the question. He involuntarily took two steps toward the boy, but then stopped abruptly.

“I recently read a very interesting script.”

Vili suddenly brought up an unrelated topic, and Eero listened quietly from the side.

"It tells the story of a duke's young master who was switched at birth with a commoner's child. But an unexpected turn of events led him to reunite with his biological father..."

Vili drawled out the word, his expression full of amusement.

"This story is quite touching, isn't it?"

Ero's emotional system wasn't strong enough to make him react to this, so he just gave a dry reply.

"It seems so?"

“I think this script is great, and it’s mine now.”

The reunion of the Little Prince, who was lost in the human world, with his father is sure to be a very touching story.

Willie clapped his hands and laughed.

"So, Professor, is there anything else?"

"..."

Even though he had only heard a riddle he didn't understand, just looking at Willy's lighthearted appearance made Eero feel as if all his worries had vanished.

"...Are you interested in this new experiment?"

"certainly."

-

However, after the experiment stalled for a week, Willy finally began to regret why he had agreed so readily that day.

Now, the reputation of the great magician Vili is ruined.

He believes

Vili sat dejectedly in the corner of the laboratory, hugging his knees. It was as if a haunting cloud was hanging over his head, making him look so gloomy that mushrooms would grow on him.

At this point, to give him space to think independently, Ero took Desmond and left first.

"I actually failed... I actually failed..."

He remained muttering to himself for nearly five minutes.

A week earlier, in response to a project proposed by Ero, he began his first independent experiment—summoning the wandering spirits of the dead in the vicinity.

This is considered a basic operation for necromancers. In the original world, Vili had also tried it, such as calling on a local ghost to ask for directions when he was lost.

He never found it difficult.

But on that day, after he confidently performed the familiar summoning ritual, all he received was emptiness.

Forget about the dead, you can't even see a trace of their shadow!

Elro, however, had anticipated his failure and comforted him by saying that this was inherently difficult and that failing hundreds or thousands of times was normal.

—But that's for ordinary people.

For Vili, this was no less absurd than waking up to find that the world had no magic.

From then on, without Ero's request, he spent all his time in the laboratory, constantly adjusting the variables of the summoning ritual, but all he got in return was disappointment.

Even Ero was taken aback by his enthusiasm for experiments and cautiously asked him if he wanted to take a break.

Of course, I was rejected.

But he was also unable to offer Vili any help in this matter.

He and Desmond had repeatedly studied all the procedures of Vili's summoning ritual, and both the incantation and the magic output were already perfect.

Even the two of them couldn't do better than Willy.

In the end, he could only awkwardly help Willy in other ways, such as delivering the Russell family's lunchboxes that Ryan and Ryan both vied to deliver every day...

Or perhaps, they helped him construct protective magic to reinforce his dormitory, preventing a certain holy prince from continuing his theft.

There was also the patrolling outside the laboratory, chasing away a knight who was secretly spying on them...

Both of them had a very fulfilling week, but their moods were completely different.

"Host..." the system said tremblingly, "You've been experimenting for five hours straight today, take a break..."

Willie, however, paid no heed and continued repeating his incessant ramblings.

The system mustered its courage and advised:

"Since so many experiments have failed, maybe it's not a problem with you, host? There might be other factors affecting it..."

Its tone was earnest and earnest. If it weren't for the extremely powerful protective magic surrounding the laboratory, it would have liked to run straight over in its cat form.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Willy suddenly stood up, his movement so violent that the table behind him was bumped, the test tubes shook and fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.

The system's words were interrupted by this voice, but Vili didn't even bother to cast a second glance at it.

"...What did you just say?"

"Wh-what?"

The system was taken aback by his question, but fortunately, Vili didn't need his answer and muttered to himself:

"You just said it wasn't my problem..."

He had been devastated by his previous failure and was completely absorbed in his experiments, spending his days wondering if it was due to the differences between the two worlds.

But after being reminded by the system, he suddenly realized that he might have fallen into a misconception.
