Wizard Boy adopts a Cursed Elf" No One Wants & Raised her to SS-CLass

A father is desperately fighting a monster telling his daughter to wait for him he reassures her that he possesses a power everyone envies and Promises to save her no matter what in the city of Zenus known as the closest place to Hell on Earth the atmosphere is Bleak and abominable with neither sunlight nor a single Ray of Hope amidst this desolate City walks Weiss a magician renowned for his formidable power as he strides Through a Street full of Scoundrels something catches his attention a bound slave he takes a closer look and notices is that the

girl has pointed ears and aqua colored hair surprised he wonders if she is a high elf High Elves are a subspecies of elves known to the general public though they differ significantly from the more common elves who have green hair and long horizontal ears in contrast High Elves possess striking blue hair and ears that point upwards This group long believed to be extinct was said to have the ability to use all kinds of magic in the world Weiss recalls reading about them in an ancient book of high magic he once found in the capital he

had assumed they were merely Legends but now he realizes that they truly exist he then approaches the slave trader asking how business is going and whether he has managed to sell most of the slaves he is offering the slave trader complains that he is suffering a Loss because of one particular slave he explains that just recently the inhabitants of the Mansion on the hill were all annihilated Weiss remains silent fully remembering the event as he was the one responsible for it he recalls that during one of his visits to his favorite chicken joint the staff

informed him that the restaurant was permanently closed because the owner had been abducted by men from the hill since the staff didn't know the secret recipe They couldn't make the deep fried chicken anymore this enraged the magician who called the staff useless for not helping the owner when he was abducted desperate to eat the deep fried chicken again he rushed to the mansion and attacked the master for kidnapping his favorite Chef the master of the Mansion warned him that he would regret Crossing him but Weiss wasn't intimidated as no rules existed in Zenus after dealing

with the master he found The store owner bound but busy cooking in the kitchen the owner was extremely grateful and asked wise how he could repay him Weiss simply replied that he wanted the store reopened the owner assured him that he would start serving his patrons again soon because of this Weiss failed to notice that the Mansions basement house cells filled with slaves after the incident thieves raided the mansion and discovered the slaves due to the large number the slave trader Couldn't manage them all so he split them among different Merchants by that morning at

least four had already been sold but one remained the slave trader explains that while beautiful elf girls usually have no trouble finding buyers the remaining elf is problematic aside from her strange hair color her ears are deformed likely the result of experiments by the mansion's owner was glances at the girl thinking that it wouldn't be surprising if she were worth A million Zenus considering she's a high elf however since the slave trader doesn't recognize her True Value he is likely facing a great loss the slave trader laments that he has no idea what to do

with her contemplating throwing her out on the street if he can't sell her to conserve his resources he even suggests feeding her to the wild dogs at least making her somewhat useful despite this to the Trader's shock Weiss asks how much the girl costs the trader Trying to dissuade him offers to find a more useful slave arguing that the girl will most likely be a burden wise attempting to smooth talk the slave trader pretends he just wants to help the man's business and again asks how much the elf is the trader offers her for 22

20 Zenus pretending to be generous Weiss offers to pay him 300 Zenus instead causing the traiter to beam with delight the slave Traer immediately removes the chains from the Elf Weiss notices that even when free the elf remains immobile and shows no emotion he wonders what horror she has endured to make her so lifeless crouching beside her he gently urges her to stand and come with him she remains unmoving to encourage her he takes her hand causing her to look at him and take her first steps even though he decided to take her without much

thought he admits that he doesn't know anything about parenting becoming a father figure For the first time feels to him like walking blind in a dark alley upon arriving at his home wife starts thinking of names he could use to call the girl he recites a few names hoping she would react to any that she likes however when he runs out of ideas he asks her if she is unable to speak if she simply doesn't want to or if perhaps she doesn't understand their language Weiss then resolves to teach her how to talk reasoning that

judging by her Demeanor she has likely been a slave since birth and no one has taught her anything not even how to speak he reflects on his own nature admitting that he isn't a good person all he knows is how to destroy and kill he doesn't care about others and for him having a sense of justice is pointless yet despite this it bothers him to witness vile things happening around him so Weiss vows to raise her as his daughter not as a slave but first he must help Her become aware of herself he gently Pats

her head promising her that from that day forward he will be her father he mouths the words to the little elf as if trying to make her understand that they are now father and daughter he smiles at her but his heart is full of uncertainties about what he should do knowing that his decision to be a father will not be easy the elf is sleeping so peacefully in the bed while Weiss watches her reflecting on the fact that She wet the bed earlier he keeps blaming himself thinking it's his fault for forgetting to take her

to the bathroom before bringing her to bed if he had done that the incident could have been avoided up until now he has managed most things without much difficulty but parenting is turning out to be a different challenge caring for an elf may not be demanding but raising one feels like he's exploring an unfamiliar dungeon at the lowest level with no Equipment or guidance a journey of trial and error he chastises himself for his negligence and decides to take the girl to the bath to clean her despite all this the girl still shows no reaction

remaining distant and unresponsive whis gently teases her saying she looks like a ghost with her wet hair covering her face as he massages her hair dirt and grind come out as if it's her first proper bath in a long time or possibly ever he plays with the foam forming Shapes in her hair hoping for a smile or even the slightest response however she remains expressionless and he sigh realizing this journey may be far more challenging than he initially thought it's going to take time to break through her emotional barriers and he finds it disheartening that

she hasn't even smiled yet after the bath was feels even more distressed when he realizes that he has no clothes or undergarments for her silently cursing himself for his lack of Preparation he improvises by wrapping her in a blanket making makeshift clothes he then promises her that first thing in the morning he'll buy her proper clothing so she can be more comfortable picking her up he carries her upstairs and gently places her in his soft bed telling her that she can now rest comfortably in a clean room no longer a slave Weiss exhausted from the

day's events yawns as he closes his eyes but almost immediately he bolts upright He realizes with horror that he hasn't given the elf anything to eat the entire ire day panicking he rummages through his kitchen searching for anything remotely suitable all he finds are bottles of alcohol and a single piece of stale bread he decides against taking her outside to eat as she's not properly dressed for public so he settles for what he has red and jerky though it's far from an ideal meal for a child it will have to do for now he helps

her sit At the table and assists her with eating watching her Devour the food ravenously Weiss feels a Pang of guilt realizing just how hungry she must have been her frail body suggests that she hadn't been fed properly even before he took her in he watches her finish eating promising her with a smile that next time he'll get her something better the next day whis takes Extra Care in preparing the house for the girl making sure everything is in place to keep her safe He meticulously puts away anything dangerous including controlling the fire in the

Hearth before leading to go shopping he kneels down and tells the girl that he has to step out for a moment and she needs to behave while he's gone however as he tries to communicate this it becomes pain painfully obvious that she doesn't understand a word he is saying her blank unresponsive stare makes Weiss Wonder just how much she comprehends of the World around her determined to leave her as safely as possible he double checks the house after taking every precaution he places an intruder prevention barrier around the perimeter casts floor softening magic to ensure

she won't hurt herself if she falls and even secures the stairs with another protective spell to prevent any accidents as an additional Safeguard he places a final barrier that would prevent anyone from entering from outside feeling satisfied With these layers of protection Weiss finally leaves the house promising the girl that he will return soon he can't help but feel a twinge of nervousness as he steps out still unsure if he's doing this parenting thing right when he reaches the town he immediately heads to a well-known Boutique owned by an elf bursting through the door he

calls for help and the owner recognizing him as the famous magician rushes over he explains that he needs to buy clothes For a young girl which visibly shocks the elf shopkeeper she raises an eyebrow and with a suspicious tone accuses him of kidnapping offended by the implication Weiss clarifies that he bought an elf slave who wasn't selling and is simply trying to give her a better life still the shopkeeper looks him over with skepticism suggesting that there might be more to the story and insinuating that perhaps Weiss has a particular fondness for young girls Frustrated

by the insinuation Weiss firmly denies having any inappropriate motives explaining that all he wants is for the girl to have proper clothes he openly admits that he knows nothing about children's clothing and is willing to pay whatever it costs if the shopkeeper can help him pick out something suitable for the girl after negotiating and agreeing on a price the elf shopkeeper finally agrees to help promising she can craft a perfect set of Clothes for his adopted daughter Weiss provides a detailed description of the girl's size and proportions to ensure the best fit then leaves the

shop to continue Gathering other Essentials like Food Supplies later after a busy day of shopping Weiss hurries back home feeling a mix of excitement and worry upon arrival he immediately scans the house checking to see if anything is out of place or if the girl has gotten into any trouble to his surprise she's exactly Where he left her completely unmoved he Chuckles to himself approaching her and asking if she's been a good girl while he was gone though he doesn't expect a response realizing she might be hungry again he rushes to the kitchen and begins

preparing a meal with the groceries he bought despite his lack of cooking skills Weiss pours all his effort into making something edible for the girl after some time the food is finally ready and he serves it to her With a sense of Pride he patiently shows her how to use utensils demonstrating the use of a spoon and guiding her through the process of eating to his Delight she complies and starts eating although somewhat awkwardly at first watching her Devar the food with great enthusiasm Weiss can't help but feel a wave of Happiness wash over him

the next day the boutique owner Holo visits Weiss home bringing all the outfits she completed for the little elf Weiss Slightly complains surprised by the number of outfits she made hola waves him off saying that she can take back whatever doesn't fit and then confidently lets herself into the house when she spots the little elf her eyes widen and she can't help but squeal in excitement gushing over how adorable the girl is now she understands why Weiss has taken such a liking to her but as she looks closer H notices that the little elf is

unlike any she's ever seen While she has the characteristic pointy ears of an elf her striking blue hair sets her apart Weiss not wanting Holo to pry further agrees that the girl is unique which is why he decided to keep her without a second thought after some small talk hola suggests it's time for the elf girl to try on the clothes and she asks Weiss to give them some privacy while waiting in his room Weiss finds himself deep in thought even Holo who holds a high position in the elf Kingdom Doesn't seem to realize that

the little girl is a high elf in fact it seems like she's completely unaware of their existence High Elves were thought to be extinct but Weiss has heard rumors that they only been hiding within the Elven Kingdom possibly on their way to Zenus he begins to wonder where this girl could have come from and what circumstances led her to him his thoughts are interrupted by a loud squeal from Holo who is downstairs Excitedly shouting about how cute the girl looks in her new clothes when Weiss goes down to see for himself he's left speechless the

transformation is incredible she looks like a completely different person her new outfit brings out a delicate ethereal quality in her that takes his breath away Holo beams with pride telling him that she's happy he likes her work and that it was well worth the generous payment he gave her she also hands over a selection of Undergarments pajamas and other daily wear for the girl promising to help support him as much as she can especially since she finds it fascinating that he's raising the elf by himself whis gratefully sees her off thanking her for her work

and her offer of continued support afterward he takes the little elf upstairs as it's already bedtime he gently changes her into the new pajamas once again noting how adorable she looks in the comfortable Clothing the next morning after a peaceful night's sleep wife stretches and realizes the girl is holding on to him while she sleeps a warm smile creeps onto his face at this small sign of progress tucking her back into bed he quietly hopes that today will be another good day for them and he prays that she will begin to open up even if

just a little determined to Foster some kind of connection was decides to try introducing himself to the Girl Again Hoping this time she might react kneeling down beside her he slowly repeats his name but once again she only looks at him with the same blank expression offering no recognition frustrated but not deterred he starts to understand that if he wants her to speak he'll first need to address whatever mental or emotional block is keeping her from engaging with the world but how he's still clueless about how to help her become more conscious of her Surroundings

the thought nags at him what could have happened to make her so indifferent and withdrawn since he is back at square one in taking care of the child Weiss tries to remember his own childhood in hopes of gaining insights into what a child might be thinking recalling his childhood he realizes that all he did was perform magic and showcases Mastery of the craft to his peers he often received compliments from older magicians who remarked that his Magical abilities were impressive and that he was Advanced for someone his age emphasizing just how talented a magician he

truly was he had a relatively problem-free childhood and his future appeared to be laid out before him on top of that he came from a prominent family which further solidified his standing in society at a young age he was regarded as a genius and offered a place at the magic Ministry where everyone expected him to rise to a high Official position later on although he doesn't remember every detail he imagines he probably received love from his parents like any other child however in the end he couldn't bear the thought of being forced into a predetermined

life path so he ran away from the capital his childhood memories have become increasingly blurred due to the intense experiences in Trials he faced after leaving the most he can recall is from his school Years yet he doesn't Even remember how he learned to talk now as he reflects on this he begins to wonder about the person who secured the job at the ministry of magic instead of him as they used to hang out during her school days he heard that she has received unprecedented promotions and that she is now the assistant to the director

back then she was considered boring and often didn't understand the jokes shared by their classmates yet for some inexplicable reason Weiss always Felt at ease in her presence he often thought that if she had simply removed her awful glasses she might have been quite popular as her appearance was is rather attractive with these thoughts swirling in his mind he unexpectedly falls asleep while reminiscing about the past when he awakens he heads straight to the living room and notices that it has grown dark outside his attention is immediately drawn to the little elf girl who is

now sleeping soundly in a chair Gently he carries her into the bedroom to tuck her in contemplating that her indifference and Trauma may not be issues he can resolve with his own judgment realizing this he decides he needs to seek guidance from someone more experienced regarding their situation the next day he reaches out to Holo and visits her at her store she observes the child and acknowledges that the girl seems lifeless however she also understands that this is only natural Given that the child has been a slave for all her life Weiss interjects agreeing that

while this is true the girl's complete lack of reaction feels rather extreme holand nods in agreement but admits that since she has no experience being a mother she doesn't fully grasp the situation either then an idea strikes her and she proposes that they visit lauret the owner of the The Tavern who has successfully raised five kids although initially doubtful of her Plan Weiss eventually agrees to accompany her once in the tavern Laura listens to their concerns and sincerely tells them that their problem can be solved with love which takes them by surprise he Chuckles as

is stating the obvious and emphasizes that the girl is simply lacking love Weiss must do his utmost to shower her with affection and Care Weiss sigh deeply asking for another drink as he reflects on laur's advice sensing his hesitation laurett Reassures him that he doesn't need to overthink things after all he decided to raise the girl because he felt the genuine connection with her the only thing he must do is to treat her from the heart helping her understand that she now has a family and a home Holo wholeheartedly agrees reiterating that Weiss must provide

the child with the love of a family this she believes will help the girl open up to both him and the world around her as Holo now Somewhat Tipsy continues to ramble on about what he should do Weiss abruptly stands up from his chair declaring his intention to go home he feels a strong desire to see his daughter upon arriving home he immediately prepares a special dessert for the little elf and begins feeding her believing that this act represents his interpretation of love he patiently feeds her bite by bite until she finishes everything on her

plate whenever he gets the chance he gently Pets her head knowing that physical touch can convey warmth and affection after she finishes eating he takes her to the bath and helps her change into fresh clothes he patiently demonstrates care and love spending quality time with her as he knows that his presence is the most important thing he can offer her in addition to his physical care he showers her with words of encouragement and affirmation hoping to reach her heart in a way that she can understand although He is still a complete stranger to her Weiss

has made the decision to become her father and he is committed to giving his all he holds on to the hope that his love will eventually break through her defenses and help her heal the next day Weiss is in the kitchen busy preparing breakfast for his daughter when he is suddenly shocked to see her standing beside him this is is a completely new experience as she has never woken up on her own before worried about her Well-being he checks to see if something is wrong considering she has never attempted to walk alone until now gently

he Pats her head and to his Delight she seems to enjoy the gesture this time making a small appreciative reaction he patiently helps her eat again and now to his amazement she tries to eat on her own although her hands are shaking she holds her fork and slowly takes small bites of her food which makes Weiss feel thrilled and Incredibly happy happy Although they still can't have a full conversation he observes that she is more active now and he can see her growing and developing day by day witnessing these small changes in her brings him

immense joy and contentment eager to share his excitement he rushes to the tavern to tell Holo and lth the good news his daughter managed to eat all by herself however when he arrives Holo appears disengaged and seems more surprised by his appearance than by his News looking down at his clothes he realizes that he got dirty while doing chores and tending to his daughter's needs he enthusiastically adds that not only did she eat by herself but she also walked to the dining room and sat down in her chair all on her own happy for him

laurett raises a toast to the good news and Weiss continues to express his happiness about his daughter's small Milestones laurett points out that this progress must be due to the love and Care he has shown his daughter which brings a thoughtful smile to Weiss's face however reflecting on it Weiss humbly points out that he didn't do anything particularly special lur grins stating that seeing him so happy indicates that he has truly become a father figure in her life later back at home Weiss patiently teaches his daughter how to read and pronounce letters after they finish

a session Weiss compliments her once again for Successfully doing what she was instructed to do he tells her that she has an incredible memory and they can keep progressing so she can learn more words with this motivation they spend the next hour focused on learning new words together after the lesson Weiss notices that the little elf seems to be struggling with the letter R however he reassures her that what she accomplished today was more than enough and emphasizes that there's no need to rush He believes that soon enough she will learn many new things as

they wrap up their lesson Weiss tells her that it's time for a meal upon hearing this she immediately finds her way to the dining chair and sits down securing her spot at the dining table with pride impressed Weiss tells her that he will start preparing a meal and will make something delicious for her to enjoy watching her learn and grow he becomes increasingly convinced that High Elves are indeed a Superior race exhibiting intelligence and potential that far exceeds that of others while waiting for food Lily starts reading a colorful book and mutters the word cat

ones to encourage her reading habit however upon arriving at the store the owner informs them that there are no animal illustration Books available at the moment instead he directs them to a Pile of miscellaneous books on sale in the corner of the room looking at the disorganized pile Weiss wonders if there isn't even a single book about animals hidden among them the owner admits he can't find anything specific in the pile and express his uncertainty about their contents he explains that he recently hurt his back and therefore is unable to organize them and check properly

intense she has no idea what to do so she is left sitting on the couch staring at the Girl conscious that the little one must think of her as a terrifying figure Lily looks at her smile and rushes to her crayons to draw something the little elf girl gladly shows her what she Drew which is revealed to be a caricature of Z's smiling face the woman feels touched and tells the little high elf girl that she made her happy Lily's stomach suddenly grumbles so Z takes her to an expensive Cafe where she orders her pancakes

the little girl looks at the Dish and is instantly smitten she tells her babysitter that it is her first time tasting it and that it is very fluffy and delicious the Revelation that she has never tasted such standard children's food makes Z curious about what kind of life she must have had as the little elf girl gobbles up her pancakes she tells her that she has only been to her uncle laurett shop she also mentions her Holo n Chan and how the woman is very friendly with her dad the Mention of a woman being close

to Weiss makes Z insecure she remembers how Weiss told her that he does not have a girlfriend right now in her anxious State she thinks that hola must be his ex-wife then Lily continues talking about Holo and how she had a clothing store where her dad was a customer this makes Z realize that she was worrying about nothing she asks where the store is located and Lily answers innocently that it is in zenth The Mention Of Z Enith shocks the woman as she has heard that the place is the most brutal city in the world

meanwhile Weiss is heading on his motorcycle to an active volcano to hunt the crystal dragon he reviews that the materials he will get from the crystal dragon would be ideal for an armor-like tunic and that its magic absorbing Long Horn would also be ideal for making wands he knows that the hunt would be very difficult considering that the crystals that cover his body absorb Magic and neutralize magical attacks Weiss however is not worried thinking that his strategy to overload the Dragon with magic will be his way to win he spots the crystal dragon which proves

to be a giant creature that Glitters in its armor of Crystal hide he instantly summons a lance made of magic energy and throws it at the creature with all his might the Lance disappears before it can even go near the untroubled and calm Dragon Weiss realizes that he has Underestimated the dragon that withstood a level of magic capable of destroying an entire city the dragon is now Angry so Weiss runs away the man grabs a small rock and throws it at the creature with impact enhancing mag magic the dragon blocks it with its tail but

The Rock still destroys the tip of its crystalline spikes it makes wise realize that physical attacks are how he must move forward but knows it will still prove a challenge since it still barely Damaged the creature The Shard of Crystal from its tail flies towards him it absorbs Magic from his body making him realize how potent it is he gets the idea of putting as much of his magic power on the crystal until it is so full of energy that it is about to explode he looks at the dragon's mouth and sees that it is

its most vulnerable spot he throws the crystal with all his might while screaming that he will get the shiny tunic Lily deserves the dragon Catches the crystal with its mouth the creature suddenly explodes catching even Weiss offguard he goes back to morala clothing store exhausted and gives his mentor a bag full of 50 crystals since meralda does not need that many crystals Weiss asks if she can buy them from him the old lady tells him that she does not have that kind of money and advises him to go to a financier since they need the

material to Showcase their magical dresses Weiss envisions Lily looking Like a princess in a magical dress and thinks it is a splendid idea Little Lily is so happy to see her dad again that she jumps and hugs him to welcome him home Weiss thanks Zed for taking care of his daughter while he was out but the woman tells him that it was for her benefit to spend time with Lily wise asks his daughter as she got along well with zi Lily tells him that she adors her now and that she let her try pancakes Zeke

says that she loved her Time with ly but is slightly worried that she still is is not calling her mom yet Weiss shares that it took his daughter a long time until she called her dad and that when she finally did he cried after she slept later the dad and daughter Duo went out to the France clothing store Lily sees how glamorous a magic dress is and loves it Aurelia the elf head designer of franois introduces herself to them and asks if Weiss is the one who wants to provide them with Materials Weiss tells her

that he will provide them with materials that come from the body of Crystal Dragon the elf is impressed considering that Crystal Dragon material is something so rare even she has yet to handle Aurelia confirms that the bag is full of authentic crystals from the dragon she wonders if whis got them himself by defeating the dragon the man tells her that he will give her the materials for free if she accepts his conditions Making the elf confused for his first condition he wants franois to make their next centerpiece magic dress to be made from the crystal

dragon horn something the elf designer passionately agrees to do meanwhile Lily is trying on different dresses from the store everything think she wears makes her more adorable to the franois staff Weiss tells Lily that she looks great in a dress only to suddenly face Aurelia with a serious face to tell her that the second condition is the Most important he Reveals His condition is that he also wants a magic dress for L identical to the centerpiece magic dress Aurelia is confused about why all he asked is so simple when riches are in his grasp the

man tells her that all he wants is to see his daughter in a dress and that they do not need money to begin with it makes ly happy to hear that she will wear a magic dress the dad tells her she will look like the most beautiful princess in the world aelia Looks at the dad thinking he is not okay in the head the next day the dad and daughter do travel to the ruined outskirts of the capital where everything looks dilapitated Weiss reviews his conversation with morala when the old lady told him to go

to the outskirts since a friend of hers who lives there would help him with getting a wand the dad and daughter do arrive at the house they were searching for Weiss is not toin at seeing how messy and Unkempt the house looks they search inside the dark anding interior for someone named Romero the messy old drunkard holding a big bottle of alcohol appears and is nostalgic At The Mention Of moralo's name Weiss tells Romero that he has heard from his mentor that he is an exceptional wand maker and asks if he can make him a

wand the desperate Man shows the old man the crystal dragon horn in his hand and tells him that no other Artisan he found could handle the Material the old man tells him he can handle the material but still refuses to make a wand because he is already retired Weiss asks if there is a way he can change his mind but Romero is insistent on being left alone Lily asks him personally with cutely clenched hands to make her a wand this leads the old man to say that he will make the wand for them only if

they bring him Exquisite liquor his condition gets wise to search for the right liquor his Daughter asks him if alcohol tastes good he is about to tell her that it tastes amazing until he realizes it is not something to tell a child he tells her instead to never try it since it does not taste good the little elf girl then asks why adults love drinking it so much so he answers that they just do it out of obligation wh gets to thinking about getting the most legendary liquor he can find Z tells him that there

is one that might hold the title of legendary but it Is something that does not circulate in the market she explains that her father is a sake lover so she knows of an expensive sake made exclusively for Nobles her only worry is that there is no chance that her father would share it with him Weiss holds a container of salt in his hand and tells her to give it to his father as a gift she worries that such a simple thing would not enough but the man is confident that he will love the salt since

he is a Sak lover the Next time Zeke meets up with Weiss she gives him two bottles of the special sake the woman tells him that she would have never imagined that her father would trade something so expensive for just salt she asks what kind of salt he handed over to her she shares the story that moment her father took a taste of it he started drinking like he was possessed and drank nonstop until he got so drunk Weiss tells her that it was just an incredibly delicious salt zek Says he did not taste it

so wants Z to try it out someday and asks that they drink together his offer feels like a romantic gesture that touches her heart the woman is not much of a drinker but she still agrees to it she blushes as she tells him that she needs to get back to the office as Weiss and Lily wave to her goodbye the man thinks about his appreciation for Zed for coming off into his house despite being so busy at work he makes the wrong conclusion that she Must be really obsessed with studying the high elf meanwhile Z

is walking back to work and she remembers how Weiss used to tell her her that she looks beautiful when she takes off her glasses they were still teenagers at the magic Academy when Weiss removed her glasses and told her she should change it to glasses that suit her better Z tried to get her glasses from him but the then young man kept dodging and kept telling her tips to bring out her beauty the girl Eventually got tired and stopped Weiss saw how tired she looked and returned her glasses he asked her why she spent so

much time in the library he introduced himself but Z already knew him as the famous student with the best grades in turn she introduced name Weiss on the other hand knows of her as the school Bookworm and wants to know more about her he told her they would see each other again but the annoyed Z told him not to come back despite her warning Weiss kept coming back to the library to see her little by little Z became comfortable around him until they became close friends laughing together at present Z is on a bridge looking

at the lake and reminiscing she asks herself how many years have it been since their Library days she feels like her first love is making her feel too much for her heart to handle Romero loved the special sake so much that he agreed to make the wand the next day Weiss and Lily go to Malala's clothing shop to pick up the new tunic morala shows the tunic to the little girl and she falls in love instantly with it the old lady also gives Weiss the wand Romero made for him he is shocked that is already

made since he only ordered it yesterday he sees that the wand Glitters and shines since it is made of a Crystal Dragon he holds it in his hand thinking it looks better than he thought it would Lily asked to use her new wand the little elf girl Looks beautiful and cute wearing a Crystal Dragon tunic and waiting her wander around she looks so cute that the dad can't believe it he tells his daughter that she looks incredible and adorable morala makes him look closely at the tunic to make him see that everything Sparkles with the

material he got her it can be considered the best armor in the Empire Weiss carries her daughter and tells her that she looks like the cutest Mage in the world the Dad wants to run out and show off her adorable little girl to everyone in the capital he then thinks about it and it hits him that it would be a terrible idea miralda sees how worried he looks and asks if he is okay wife suddenly worries that she will take her to school where he won't be around and she might end up hurt or kidnapped

he thinks about the natsha school of magic as a prestigious institution with a long history of the best magic education in The Empire despite being a renowned school it not only accepts students from prominent families but also opens its door to any children who want to learn magic Weiss remembers how he learned the basics of magic from the school and how he did not know anything about about magic before enrolling she worries that since the magic school is designed primarily for humans a high elf like Lily might have a hard time following the pace of

learning meant for another Race he imagines that her daughter would meet a lot of friends if she spent her days smiling and being carefree as a dad who wants his little elf girl to enjoy her school life to the fullest he is determined to do everything to make it happen later the dad and daughter Duo went home where Weiss asked his little Lily to close her eyes because he would teach her magic he holds her hands and tell tells her she will become a great Mage he reminds himself that most races Are born with magical

powers in their bodies that can be Unleashed if one is taught how to sense their magic power and receives a good education he transmits his magic to Lily's hand so she can use it to get a hang of the feeling he asks the little elf girl to release the magic from the palm of her hands no matter how much LLY concentrates nothing comes out of her hands she tries so hard that she tires herself out Weiss hugs her little Daughter and tells her it is normal for it not to work on the first try she

keeps on trying with her Palms but nothing is still happening the dad is becoming worried since even students without Talent should be able to use magic after a few tries Lily wants to try more but it is already time to eat the little high L girl feels sad that she might not be able to become a mage Weiss tells her not to say that as he looks at her crying face he tells her it Is a guarantee that she will become a great Mage as he hugs her daughter he wonders if her having a hard

time has something to do with her being a high elf and that maybe it is time for him to ask someone for help they go to Morales Clothing Store where the old teacher examines Lily to find out the problem she realizes what is happening and tells wi he gave his daughter a slow flow of magic when High Elves have a faster flow the result is that her body is confused By the slow flow of magic she receives since it does not match her frequency Weiss becomes down at the Revelation thinking it was his fault after

all Lily sees him looking hurt and asks if he is okay Weiss looks back at her thinking he is a bad father for making her insecure about her herself he asks for maral's advice who tells him to adjust the speed of his magic with his daughter Weiss holds L's hand while Lily concentrates he controls the amount of magic passing Through her body while making it flow faster than before the little elf girl can now feel the magic flowing better within her she tries again to release the magic from her Palm Weiss realizes something big is

coming and protects the wall in front of Lily with a magic barrier for her first try Lily released a powerful amount of magic energy that would have destroyed the wall if not for the barer once the energy disappears the little elf girl asks his dad if she did It once Weiss tells her she did the little girl cries in the hope she will become a mage as the dad praises and Pats her daughter on the head he thinks about how he should not have let her feel so insecure he congratulates Lily and hugs her for

her first day as a true Mage a butterfly flies towards Lily's head and she shows her dad Weiss knows that it is thanks to maral's help that Lily is able to sense the butterly magic he feels happy just seeing her enjoy Herself now that he understands what it feels like to be a father he wants to return to a place from his past he sigh and settles to go there they go to a huge house as Weiss knocks on the front door he tells his daughter that they are at his house when he was young

he remembers that ever since he ran away from the capital he never contacted his parents he predicts that they will scream at him cry or even faint for seeing him out of the blue because he Even has a daughter he knows that the chances of it happening only got higher despite this he is ready to take their hits a woman opens the door and she is surprised to see his son again they catch up over food where she introduces herself to Lily as her grandmother Lily does not understand what a grandma is and asks if

she is her mom Weiss tells her that it is not exactly the case the mother teases her son for being a good dad and tells him how proud she is of Him it annoys Weiss that she is not acting mad for the way he left without saying anything and asks why she is not ready to hit him his mother tells him that she was never worried since she figured he would be all right on his own and that Z comes to her often so she knows what he has been up to she reports that after

he left zek went to them to tell them that she was going to look for him since then she has been coming every week to them to report her progress Weiss realizes that he has been worrying his friend too his mother asks him if he has thought about Zeke since she is the only one who cares so much about him despite how selfish he is he goes home with Lily wondering what zig's wish is he thinks about how she wants to be Lily's mom and believes that is just for L's feelings as she tucks his

daughter to sleep he gets determined to support her and Lily to get along he goes out of Lily's room and sees that Z is waiting He sits beside her confusing the woman about why he looks so serious he grabs her by the shoulder and tells her that he will help her become ly's mom his words fluster the woman and let her spit out the tea she was drinking she Compares what he is doing to a fairy tale romance scene of a man confessing to a woman Weiss does not understand what she is saying and tells

her to stay in the moment with him Z is blushing red and is panting hard she thinks he is Making a ro romantic confession making her feel happy the man is confused about why she looks so happy he thinks that she looks cute with a smile on Z asks him if he has time to spare tomorrow Weiss comes to a cafe thinking Z invited him for a serious discussion she appears to be looking happy in casual clothes the ignorant man does not know why she tells him that the cafe is her favorite place and that

it is famous for its pancakes wh sees how expensive the Pancakes are but since Z tells him it will be his treat he wants to take some home for ly zin's pancake comes to their table and Weiss can see from its presentation why it is so expensive she tells him that she ordered it despite not being a fan of sweets because she can't believe she has not ordered the Cafe's signature dish all this time she blushes as she asks the man for them to eat it together whise goes for it and finds the pancakes delicious

he tells Her it is not that sweet so even she can eat it Z tries it herself and finds it to be really good Weiss looks at how glowing she looks and somehow Feels Like Everything has become warmer zek shares that she used to check the cafe out when they were still students and can't believe that they are now together in at 10 years later they get out of the cafe where Zeke thanks him for joining her she asks if she can invite him out again he tells her that she can invite him Whenever she

can since they are good friends as he waves goodby he realizes that they did not talk about work at all he goes home to a happy Lily he shows her that he has pancakes for her so she gets excited he tells her that the pancakes are special because they came from Zeke this makes the little elf girl exlain that Z is a nice person the next day the two go to the cafe again but this time Z is in her usual work clothes and is in a serious mood talking about a Mission she tells Weiss

that he needs to get something fluffy she reports that a daughter of a wealthy family who makes big donations to the ministry of magic is about to enter Magic School however this daughter does not like any of the robes from the capital and is throwing a tantrum over a one of a-kind fluffy robe since the girl's father is asking the ministry of magic for help Zed is afraid she can't turn down the request to get one wise asks if she can help him hunt a Fluffy robe down she can't come with him so it is

up to him to get it Lily wants to go with her dad since she thinks they can get pancakes he corrects her and says he is actually going outside the capital the mention of going outside the capital makes the little elf Cur even more excited to go with him he reviews that the goal is to find what is called an angel bear the fluffy little creatures known for their heart-shaped pattern on their fur and for being Adorable the father and daughter Duo goes out to the grassy Plains where Lily gets to see many of the

adorable little bears she approaches one of the Bears and asks if they can play together the bear rubs its head on her as a sign of affection more bears go to her and also rub their faces on her is not long before she is surrounded by bears and is getting tickled by them Weiss looks at what is happening in lass he then realizes that he can hunt down an adult Angel bear while his daughter is distracted playing with the babies he finds a big bear in the distance and readies a magic circle to attack it

his daughter suddenly hugs him from behind and asks him if he wants to play with her Lily ends up riding her dad like a horse and they join forces to catch the running Angel Bears Weiss is glad that his little girl is happy but is getting exhausted as he sweats and grasps for air he realizes that catching the angel Bears is harder than defeating a Crystal Dragon
