“The simplest way is to become her apprentice and then assist her with her current research work.” I recalled a complaint I had overheard before and shook my head again. “However, asking that of you is too much to ask. Even the professors in the academy are barely able to help her. How about we settle for second best and ask her if there is any work that needs her help with? It’s just some small errands, and little by little, it will be enough to achieve the goal.”
"……I see."
Ai An fell into deep thought again, clearly having an idea.
Scanning the room, I noticed that An, who had peeked out once before, was fast asleep again. Alice had disguised herself as a motionless toy rabbit. The others took turns speaking, and it turned out that only Hikari had been listening the whole time.
Seeing that I was looking at him, the little fool started to look away: "No, uh, okay... actually I don't have much to say, it's just that sometimes I dream about my parents and the little hill behind my house, and when I wake up I feel a little nostalgic."

Then some annoying person started yelling at me: "Why are you sleeping on the recliner? Get down right now, the mattress is all laid out, the three of us can sleep together without feeling cramped, and there's still room."
As she spoke, she reached out to pull me, and the accomplice who directly caused this situation also silently took action, directly turning around and lifting me off the chair. Even Hikari, who had been hesitating and muttering, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?", could only join in in the end.
Thanks to him, I was ultimately forced to lie on the ground...
