“He is one of the only two leads we still have, and he is also a young child who needs protection. However, my assistant and I have limited manpower, and we cannot continue to carry out both the investigation and protection of the academy while ensuring his safety. I can only trouble you for a while.”
"It's not too much trouble. I have suitable people and places to take care of it."
At least Yao's many doll maids and the small garden are a good choice. They require neither time nor effort, and even if something unexpected happens, the fairies who have been unusually lively in the small garden recently will be there to watch over things. It's perfectly fine to run back in time. Nothing serious is bound to happen.
The dean of the academy clearly understood this as well, and showed a slightly relaxed expression. However, he quickly became like a parent who was about to send their child away alone, and began to nag anxiously: "As you know, this child has temporarily lost his memory because of what happened before, and he only recently remembered that his name is Ai An."
"But at least he's very well-behaved. He doesn't cry or make a fuss. He has a normal routine and gets up and goes to sleep on his own. He's not picky about food. He usually just likes to look through books, mostly about magic. I think maybe he just attended a general education course for a few days, or maybe he's just a kid who's interested in these things...

In short, the child was successfully brought back. Just as Ms. Juliana said, the child was quiet and didn't cry or make a fuss. He didn't have many vivid expressions and just kept quietly observing the things around him. It even made one wonder if this living inner being also had something called a heart, just like others.
Annie, who proposed the trip, showed neither intimacy nor rejection towards the newly brought-back Aianne. She merely glanced at her indifferently, as if she were looking at a pebble on the roadside, before continuing to prepare the supplies she planned to bring.
Hikari, however, went to discuss things with Yao, who had returned to work, for a while before asking me for permission: "Mr. Yumi, why don't we take this child with us? Children might prefer to play, and there are many books and things in the miniature garden that are not convenient to tell outside, so it would be better to take care of him outside."
"Sister Yao also agreed to let some extra puppets accompany us, so it won't be too much trouble."
Soon, the members of the group who went out for a trip had all gathered.
