Jamil  |
It’s almost time for the interview to start.
I heard the presenter would be chosen by the school’s “magical pendulum"… I’m curious who will be coming. | |
??? ???  |
Pardon me. | |
Silver  |
I have come here to fulfill my given role as presenter. Happy birthday, Jamil. | |
Jamil |
Thanks, Silver. Good to have you today. It should be a pretty peaceful if it’s you. | |
Silver |
Peaceful…? If there is something amiss, I am all ears. | |
Jamil |
No, it’s nothing. Go ahead and start the interview. | |
Silver |
Understood. Then, here is the first question.
"If you could fly anywhere, where would you like to go?” | |
Jamil |
Hmm… Given those terms, I’d love to wander the world with just a single backpack…
However, for the purposes of this interview… I think I would like to travel to a colder country where there’s snow in the winter. | |
Silver |
Snow-laden roads are beneficial for leg strength training. Good choice. | |
Jamil |
For your information, I didn’t select it for training purposes
I only want to see for myself what it’s like to live in a place with a completely different climate than where I grew up. | |
Silver |
…So, your purpose is to understand how the people in those places live, then. What sort of thing would you be interested in doing there? | |
Jamil |
Mainly sightseeing. I’d like to visit famous buildings, or other places that I can learn of the country’s history.
If I go directly to the source, I should be able to learn things from the locals that I wouldn’t pick up just from my textbooks, don’t you think? | |
Silver |
Is that so? Perhaps it is because I am not familiar with travel, but I had not even considered that. | |
Jamil |
Honestly, me too. Everything I just said is only based on what I’ve learned from movies or books.
…But, hm. I guess it could be more or less similar to how I spent my days back in my own hometown. | |
Silver |
Your hometown… That’s the Scalding Sands, right? | |
Jamil |
Yeah. Back home, sometimes my middle school friends and I would drop by the city marketplace.
We’d purchase food and eat them right there in the street, or sometimes even compete with each other to see who could bargain best with the street stall owners. | |
Silver |
I think you are right. My father would also often tell me stories of the people he met on his travels. I am sure it leaves a powerful memory.
It will most likely be a rather memorable experience for you, as well. …I do hope it occurs one day. | |
Jamil |
…Thanks, Silver. I’ll also be wishing for it to happen.
I guess I should start to study up in preparation for when I’ll finally be able to travel one day. | |

Silver |
Your next question is…
“What it something that made you glad you could use magic?” | |
Jamil |
Well, I guess it’d have to be that it’s made cleaning up much easier. | |
Silver |
Cleaning up…? You mean like using magic to put books back up on bookshelves? That is much like what the citizens of Briar Valley would do. | |
Jamil |
Of course I can do something of that caliber with my own two hands. But when there’s much more to clear away, it’s a different story.
Essentially, the set up and tear down tasks for our feasts are all divided evenly among the dormitory students, and are all done manually. | |
Silver |
I agree. Then, when would you use magic? | |
Jamil |
…Most recently, I used some when we were doing a thorough cleaning of the whole Scarabia dormitory.
On one of our days off, we divided the work between all of us, and went to clean the common spaces and wash the fabrics, but… | |
Silver |
Ah… I bet it was nice to play in the water this time of year. | |
Jamil |
Sure. They were all shouting and having the time of their life. Even Kalim, who was supposed to be supervising, had joined in. | |
Silver |
That sounds fun. I can imagine Kalim’s huge smile. | |
Jamil |
They really did seem to be having fun, yeah. If only they had finished their work, then I would have felt like smiling too… | |
Silver |
From those words, I take it… | |
Jamil |
Yeah, they hadn’t finished at all. It was almost sunset, and they hadn’t even close to halfway done.
I carelessly thought that it was a small enough amount of work that they’d be able to get it done without any problems, so I delayed checking up on them. That’s completely my fault there. | |
Silver |
So, you made up for lost time by using magic… | |
Jamil |
Yeah. Since we still needed a few people to be in charge of handwashing the rugs and cushions…
I had a few students use magic carry and dry the laundry. | |
Silver |
I see. I am happy to hear it went well. It must have been good training for you, as well? | |
Jamil |
You’re a pretty optimistic guy, huh…? Well, I guess it would be good training to help finesse our magical abilities…
But if this were to happen on a daily basis, it would be too much of a burden on me and the other students. | |

Silver |
Next, we have the final question.
“What would you like to do in the coming year?” | |
Jamil |
That’s something I’ve already gotten figured out. I want to learn the cultures of various countries. | |
Silver |
Their cultures? Please, tell me your reasoning as to why you’ve decided as such. | |
Jamil |
When I finally get to travel someday, I’d like to use that knowledge to help me connect with the people I meet in those countries.
Customs and etiquette are different for each place, right? | |
Silver |
I see… Your consideration for other people is heart-warming.
In addition, I fully admire how you spare no effort to meet your goal. | |
Jamil |
Thanks for the praise, but… I’m only mimicking my parents’ work ethic. | |
Silver |
Your parents? | |
Jamil |
Yeah. My father and mother are very good at entertaining guests.
I’ve seen them transform stiff and nervous expressions into smiles within minutes. | |
Silver |
Into smiles…? That’s amazing. How are they able to relax those people so quickly? | |
Jamil |
They would bring up various cultural topics of conversation from that guest’s country. Talking about something they have knowledge of allows the guest to relax and open up more.
Back when I was a kid, I only thought it was small talk, but… | |
Silver |
You really do admire your parents, I see. I can understand that feeling as well.
As someone who also follows in the footsteps of someone I admire, let us continue to work on our devotion together. | |
Jamil |
I’m really only trying to learn useful skills; I wouldn’t say I admire them at all…
Well, whatever. It’s not really anything worth correcting you over. | |
Silver |
The interview is now over. Finally, here… This broom has been specially prepared for you. Please accept it. | |
Jamil |
…!! Amazing, the end of the broom is a bouquet. So, I’m to fly on the Birthday Road with this, huh. | |
Silver |
That’s right. …Hm, yes, that broom… Its deep red color suits you.
I am certain that everyone’s spirits will brighten when they see you flying in celebration. | |
Jamil |
Hmph… I guess I can’t let you down if you’re going to say that much. | |
Jamil |
…I’m ready to go. Heh, you all should prepare to forever burn my flying figure into your memory. | |
