667 665 Lane and College (2/2)

In other words, her half body belongs to the Spirit of the Lake as well. Spirits are completely different thoughts than people, and consciousness is different. Even assimilated to Lane, it's not like the Spirit of the Lake is mourning it.

But as for Lane, as the Spirit, he wanted to choose to be on Weena's side. Because it's serious.

”But why did you become the guardian spirits of the college instead of signing with Weena?

”That would create an up and down relationship between me and Weena, wouldn't it?

”Even the Dean of the College and the Guardian Spirit have an upward and downward relationship?

”I'm fine there. Below the rules laid down, because I and Weena are equal”

”Equally, you could say you're tied to a college.”

As far as I can tell, this college applies the law most strictly in this world. Maybe Weena Lane made it a creation where the rules followed by the Guardian Spirit take precedence over her own will so that she wouldn't storm herself.

This would prevent tyranny, even if in the future other than her became College Director. It could be described as a rare place in this world where the law can be twisted as much depending on the mood of the powerful.

”Honestly, Lane's back, too, and as far as I'm concerned, I can leave my college directorship now, though?

”No. Because my dream came true.”

Lane denies Weena's words. You dream of being tied to college? What's this all about?

He didn't know what Fran meant either, and he was twisting his neck.

”A dream?”

”Yes. One day I dreamed of building a school and spending time surrounded by kids”

Speaking of which, you were screaming about that when it was Weena Lane before we separated yet. He said he opened the college for Lane.

Lane once held the title of guardian of a child.

Guardian of the child! It's a title Amanda possesses for a child-loving child by a child-loving child.

I guess having that means you really like kids.

”But aren't guardian spirits and teachers pretty different?

”Well, it's just a little bit of a different shape, but it's something you're in a position to keep an eye on children. Satisfied.”

I really thought that was okay, but Lane's expression seemed satisfying. I guess it's more important to keep the kids around than to be teachers.

Guardian of the child in the elf. You look just like Amanda. When I told him about it, the words of surprise returned.

Amanda talked about being a descendant of Weena Lane, but said she was a descendant of Lane, to be exact. Apparently Amanda doesn't like Weena Lane because it looks like Weena took in the lane, which is also a big reason.

Well, even though I don't really like kids, I guess the best reason is that I pretended to like kids for doing what a college director does.

”If Lane's happy, that's the best.”

”Ugh. This has been the most fun I've had in thousands of years.”

”Mm-hmm. That's more than anything”

There was a warm, humane grin on Lane's face, not a mysterious alkaic smile like before.

When it comes to the Virgin Mary, she smiles as if she were a gentle school teacher, friendly and reassuring for her young appearance.

I guess this is the smile of the original lane.

If you had a teacher like this in elementary school, I might have liked school more.
