      by Aria — "I'm not sure if this letter will disappoint you, Professor. Uh... I hope not. "Anyway, I'll sneak the bad news to the very front: I couldn't find the painter you mentioned, nor could I find out his name. "...The bad news is over! Let's move on to some good news. "I did find one or two acquaintances who had seen this painter before at the fine arts academy I attend. It was last summer; they said the painter came to the academy for an apprenticeship and worked as a part-time teacher during the rain…

      by Aria — The gloomy weather over the weekend brought heavy snow on Monday. January 12, Monday morning. Siles stood by the window, quietly gazing at the snowy scenery outside. After a moment, his gaze fell, resting on the set of dolls on the windowsill. That drew his thoughts involuntarily to the deep-sea dreams he experienced last night. Nona's dream, Jonathan Bryant's dream, and the dream of Nanisal Bryant he additionally wanted to find—none of these three dreams appeared. This made his deep-sea dreams…

      by Aria — The three people took their seats at the Ernestine Tavern. Jon seemed somewhat curious about the relationship between Siles and Chendo, but he didn't pry. After sitting down, he said, "Such freezing weather. The things happening in Lamifa City are even more chilling." Siles nodded in agreement. Jon changed the subject, "Since you are very interested in the Marigold Cup, why not come to my house this afternoon as a guest? Of course, it would be best if you don't mind my messy home." Siles smiled…

      by Aria — January 1. The first day of the New Year. It was a holiday in the Duchy of Konst. Since Siles had happened to sleep rather late, it was already nearly nine o'clock by the time he woke up. In the early hours of the morning, after saying "Happy New Year" to Chendo and exchanging hugs and kisses, he returned to 6 Hayward Street. Chendo had originally wanted him to stay the night at 32 Lowell Street, as it was simply too late, to spare Siles the trouble of traveling back. But Siles still wanted to go…

      by Aria — December 30. Wednesday. Every month in the Fisher World consists of 30 days, so this day was the final day of the 400th year of the Age of Mist. Humanity was about to usher in a new century, sending the entire world into what seemed like a carnival. Siles felt this atmosphere when he left home in the morning. The shops along the streets had hung up New Year decorations early, and some had even launched New Year sales. Young children set off small fireworks, playfully fighting and chasing each…

      by Aria — "Good morning, Siles," Grenfield said. "Just one more week until the New Year." "Good morning, Teacher," Siles replied. "We can meet up that morning." He sat down in front of Grenfield. The fireplace in the room blazed, giving off an incredibly warm feeling. Freed from the bitter, freezing rain outside, Siles immediately felt much more comfortable. He couldn't help but think that he really should put the leaf specimen matter on the agenda. Grenfield asked, "How is the project on sealed…

      by Aria — "To the left." In the guest bedroom on the first floor of 32 Lowell Street, Chendo and Siles stood side by side. The room originally had no bed, making it empty and spacious—perfect for combat practice. Of course, calling it "practice" was one thing, but Siles felt he first needed to get accustomed to this kind of combat. The combat method Chendo taught him wasn't complicated; rather, he had tailored a combat strategy specifically for Siles. Utilizing Akamara's Eyeglass Frame, Siles could…

      by Aria — “So what is this, then?” Chendo asked with great interest. Siles stared at the mound of food in the pan. After a moment of silence, he offered, “Scrambled eggs with tomatoes?” “Hmm… How many eggs did you put in? Why does this look more like…” Chendo mused for a moment before saying, “A tomato egg pancake?” Siles fell silent, his gaze slowly shifting toward the trash can. That afternoon, he had come to 32 Lowell Street intending to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes. He had…

      by Aria — Nona wasn’t dreaming. He was sure of it. His first reaction was a sharp pang of concern: Had the “doctors” done something to her? In their conversation in the dream world yesterday, Nona had mentioned the doctors’ strange attitude toward the “Holy Child.” They seemed intent on “crafting” a Holy Child of their own on their end. Although he did not fully understand what the concept of a Holy Child meant to those doctors, Nona was already a “semi-finished product.” It was entirely…
