    Summary

    Four years before Coco joins Qifrey's atelier, incidents of forbidden magic erupt across the Zozah Peninsula. Qifrey--aimless, frustrated, a traveling witch with a languishing teaching degree--promises Olruggio he won't go looking for trouble.

    Naturally, that promise barely leaves his mouth before he breaks it.

    Summary

    “Olly,” he said, a kind smile tugging at his lips. “You do sell calligraphy pens, right?”

    “Qifrey,” sighed Olruggio. “It’s nine in the evening. We haven't been open since five.” They haven’t seen each other in two months, either, although currently Olruggio had a difficult time remembering that.

    ***

    Olruggio and Qifrey reconnect when the latter opens a small atelier for children.

    Summary

    “Nagisa, who is it that you like?” Maehara suddenly asked, a warm smile on his face. He was clearly trying to include him in the conversation since Nagisa had yet to say a single word since arriving in their room earlier. Hell, since arriving at the inn, he’s barely said a word, choosing to enjoy the hot communal baths and laugh softly at the other guys as their loud chatter had filled the bathroom. He knew that Maehara knew he was rather shy and only really integrated himself into conversations if the group was small, and even then, he didn’t really speak a whole lot.

    It was a nice gesture, to be sure, but…

    Summary

    Agott noticed a pattern between her master and his Watchful Eye. It seemed that whenever one of them was to get upset, the other would bring food to cheer them up.

    Agott also noticed that Coco had been strangely quiet these days, as if she were worried about something. Agott wondered if she could cook something to cheer her up.

    Alternatively, Agott learned how to cook Coco’s native hometown soup to cure her homesickness.

    Summary

    It had been a passing remark, all things considered. If Coco had anywhere else to direct her attention at the time, she would've forgotten about it well before dinnertime; but she didn't—she couldn't—because, well...

    "If I must pick the lesser of two devils... I'd rather see you in a noblewoman's getup."

    It was frankly impossible to ignore that.

    Coco overhears from Olruggio that he'd rather see Qifrey in a noblewoman's attire, so she makes him a dress... and gets Qifrey to put it on to surprise Olruggio.
