I'll move on to the next question now.
“What is something that made you glad you could use magic?”

Something that made me glad I could use magic? Oh, there's a ton of those!

Ohoh, that's a good reaction.

My family are farmers, so when it's harvest time, being able to use flight magic is a huge plus…
Recently, I've been able to levitate crates filled to the brim with apples, too.
Up until a few years ago, it was faster for me to carry the crates myself, so… I guess I got a bit better.

So you can just easily pick up a crateful of apples, I see. That's a splendid feat.

|
Well, no, it's not that easy… But I would like to one day pick it up like it's nothing.
When that happens, I'll be able to beat to a pulp all them folk who said I was "puny"…
Uhh, I mean… Let me think of something else that made me glad I could use magic…
Ah, my scarf!

Hm? What happened with your scarf?

|
I once had a scarf that my meemaw… that my grandmother made for me that got stolen.

When you say stolen… Was it done by the ones that were teasing you that you mentioned just a moment ago?
|
Epel ![Yuu icon.png](/images/f/ff/Yuu_icon.png)
|
No, not them… A bird stole it.

A bird stole your scarf?
|

|
Yes… Up until last year, I'd ride my bicycle three hours to get to the middle school in the city…
One day, I overslept, and I put the breakfast my mother made me in the bike basket…
But then a bird came and took it, along with the scarf that was also in the basket!
I had taken it off because it had gotten pretty warm pedaling my darndest all that way…

|
That's a cheeky little bird. So, what did you do?
|
Epel ![Yuu icon.png](/images/f/ff/Yuu_icon.png)
|
Well, of course, I went after it!
If it was just the breakfast, I would have let it go, but… I definitely wanted to get back that scarf, since it was so precious to me.
I borrowed a broom from someone who was cleaning along the side of the road and gave chase, but then…
I ran into so many trees and the ground so many times that It was pretty difficult.

In middle school, you're no different from a babe. It's not surprising that you'd have trouble with flying.
|

|
Oh, but I got my scarf back!
The bird dropped it on the ground, 'cause it was startled by the sound of the branches breaking.
On top of it all, the scarf fell onto the school grounds! So, thanks to that, I wasn't late for classes, but…

Sounds like it didn't end with a happily ever after.

One of the villagers who found my abandoned bike called up the school.
My teacher got upset at me when they learned I made it to school using flight, and my parents were also super worried.
But I don't regret it at all! 'Specially 'cause I was able to get back my precious scarf.
I may have gotten a few bumps and bruises on my cheeks and knees, but that's way better than regretting not getting it back.
