William was walking to the reception room at the time when Larisa’s class was ending. In one hand, he held an advanced alchemy book, intending to ask Siod for help with the difficult parts.
Through the slightly open door of the reception room, Larisa’s voice could be heard.
“Teacher, take a look at this!”
“A contract?”
William unconsciously stopped.
“Larisa gets half of the income in exchange for lending a house. The monthly rent is 2 leeds? What is this?”
Siod burst into laughter. William, feeling a bit embarrassed, entered the reception room and said,
“Why are you showing me that?”
“William!”
Larisa ran to William and hugged him. William, holding Larisa with one hand and extending the other hand towards his stomach, approached Siod, who was laughing.
“Give it here.”
“William, offering half of the income even with expensive rent – isn’t this almost like a slave contract?”
“Please take it.”
William unceremoniously took the contract from Siod’s hand and sighed.
“This is just a joke with Lara.”
“But it’s not a joke…”
Larisa muttered quietly.
“Why did you show this to the professor?”
“To get it inspected by the teacher.”
“Inspected?”
“To see if I wrote it well…”
Larisa turned her head with a sulky face. It looked a bit pouty. After laughing for a while, Siod consoled Larisa.
“Wow~ You really wrote it well. Our Lara is truly mischievous, isn’t she?”
“I wrote it well?”
Larisa brightened her face again.
“Well then, Lara wrote it well, but William didn’t.”
“Hehe. William, make sure to keep the promise!”
“Lara, there’s a way for William to keep this, do you want me to tell you what it is?”
William stiffened his face. While the word “marriage” lingered in the boy’s mind, an entirely different word came out of Siod’s mouth.
“You need to get it notarized.”
“Huh?”
“If you get it notarized at the court, it gains legal effect.”
“Oh…”
Larisa nodded vaguely at the unfamiliar story.
“If there’s a day when classes are empty during the week, do you want to go get it notarized with the teacher?”
“Really?”
Again, with a sparkling look in Larisa’s eyes, Siod burst into laughter. William sighed and put Larisa down.
“How can a minor get it notarized?”
“It’s possible if there’s a legal guardian. If Lara wants to go, Vera will probably go too, right?”
“But my mother can’t be that free.”
William said so, but he also thought that maybe Ginevra would make time for Larisa. He had seen Ginevra make exceptions for Larisa several times.
“This contract must be notarized. It will go down in history.”
“Stop teasing me.”
“But what kind of store is it? It just says ‘store’ here. Huh? Lara?”
“It’s an alchemy sundry shop!”
Larisa shouted excitedly.
“Alchemy sundry shop?”
In response to Siod’s question, Larisa explained with a bright face.
“Yes! William can make ointment that heals wounds quickly with alchemy, and he can also make medicine to take when your stomach hurts. Moreover, he can make a paper bird that helps you find lost items.”
“…Really?”
“Yes. And… When you open the lid, there’s a lantern that lights up by itself, and he made a doll that warms up when you hug it, and also…”
“Lara, that’s enough.”
William stopped her, feeling embarrassed. It was too trivial to boast about these items in front of a wizard like Siod who became a professor at the academy.
However, Siod’s reaction was different from what he expected.
“Really? That’s amazing!”
Siod, who had been stroking his chin while thinking, asked.
“Can I see it too?”
“Huh?”
“Wow! William! Let’s go show off!”
“What?”
Holding William in her left hand and Siod in her right hand, Larisa began to pull them.
“Let’s go to William’s room, huh? Teacher, there are so many amazing things!”
“Really? I want to see them quickly.”
“Wait, there’s nothing really amazing…”
Almost dragged by the enthusiastic two, William headed to his room. Siod, entering William’s room for the first time, looked around with fascination.
William’s room, filled with various experimental tools, seemed more like a laboratory than a bedroom. It looked like it belonged to Ginevra’s son.
“Teacher! Look at this! Isn’t it cute? Hold it!”
Lara was the first to bring her doll and handed it to Siod. Indeed, as he held it, he could feel a gradual warmth. Siod pressed the plush bear doll’s belly and asked.
“Is there water inside?”
When Siod asked with a serious face, William explained without realizing it.
“Yes. I made it by putting a stone with warming magic inscribed inside a water pouch.”
It was a doll made for Lara, who kept trying to snuggle up to him when they slept together. Although it was one of the clumsiest items he had made, Siod was looking at it seriously.
“Can I open it?”
“No!”
Lara said, clinging to Siod’s leg. Siod patted Lara’s head and turned the doll around.
“Interesting. What’s this?”
There was a pile of colored paper on the desk, and most of them were drawn strangely, as if someone had drawn magic circles. Then, Lara ran over and started origami.
“If you fold it like this…”

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
