1. "Was natori-san let go?"
2. Honestly, I kind of...
3. "She left these documents but I'm still kind of worried about the handover."
4. "There's no need to concern ourselves with those who have been let go."
5. "Yeah... That's what the personnel department decided."
6. "They haven't even told me why..."
7. Hated her!
8. "I will take care of the handover."
1. "Natori-san,"
2. "Could you double-check these trans-actions?"
3. "Of course!"
4. I hope he's okay.
5. "My son suddenly got a fever, so I need to go pick him up..."
6. She just doesn't know how to deal with this stuff.
7. She always agrees to these things so she's stuck doing overtime every day.
8. Empty, looking for fulfillment.
9. Just going around pleasing everyone.
10. It's because of that she gets stuck with all these odd chores.
11. She doesn't understand what her job entails.
1. "...so?"
2. "And even references to where you can find instructions for these tasks..."
3. "A list of tasks for the next month..."
4. "What's on this handover document..."
5. "Huh?"
10. Is this the same handwriting as the storage binders from the reference room?
11. "Why did she..."
12. "This one too!"
13. But did she seriously go through and sort it all!?
14. I mean, the reference room did suddenly become a lot easier to go through,
15. "...oh."
1. It was for us...
2. Wasn't it?
3. She really is an empty person.
4. But because she wanted to work hard for someone else's sake.
5. Not because it was her job,
6. "...natori-san..."
7. "What are you doing right now?"
1. Thank you for reading Volume Three!!
3. This volume was filled with a lot of worldbuilding for both the setting and magic, so I was thinking of supplementing that a little bit.
4. Our new character, Rubeus, wears a ruby brooch as his magic jewel. Actually, there are about ten minerals that have a similar color as the variation of corundrum known as ruby.
5. He uses these ten for his personal magic. But, as Rubeus doesn't have much magic power, he grows his hair out so he can store magic power inside of it.
6. In fact, a lot of the people who use magic in their day-to-day lives, such as the marquesses that protect the border and the royal guard end up growing their hair out for similar reasons.
7. Someday in the future, Diana-chan may end up with long hair as well.
1. On the other hand, it's customary for royalty to cut their hair during the coronation ceremony. This helps signal a lack of hostility during diplomatic talks and also maintains the dignity of the ones being protected. Therefore, if she were to become queen, Lapis would end up with short hair.
2. And thus, I've used the pretense of expanding on the worldbuilding to draw these different hairstyles I've been wanting to.
3. Please look foward to the thrilling, breathtaking next volume!
