After leaving Rizy's shop, with her dubious fortune readings still on my mind, Ethan and I resumed wandering around the academy festival, enjoying the festivities.

It seemed that the astrology demonstration had been the main reason Ethan wanted to take the lead earlier. After that, he told me I could decide where to go next, allowing me to freely explore magic scroll crafting demonstrations and magical circle workshops for enchanted tools, which personally satisfied my curiosity.

‘Who knows, if I end up out on my own one day, I might be able to make a living doing something like this. Learning a bit now could come in handy later.’

There was no way I was going to base my future plans on some unbelievable fortune about wealth being right in front of me. If I learned how to use scrolls for magic, it would help conceal my true identity, and if I pretended to use scrolls while secretly casting spells, I could avoid being discovered as a magician while working as an adventurer.

As I spent the afternoon visiting the places I was personally interested in and occasionally wandering into places that caught my eye, I suddenly remembered one of the main events of the academy festival.

‘Now that I think about it, what’s going on with the play?’

In the original route, the play was just as important as the maid café. Even though the protagonist wasn’t involved, the scheduled performances always went ahead, with other academy students taking the stage in place of the protagonist and heroine.

‘We’ve already seen most of what we wanted to today, so maybe we should just wrap up by watching the play together.’@@novelbin@@

"Ethan, would you be interested in watching the Leon and Julia play that starts at five?"
