The Sunday afternoon light slants through dust motes in a cluttered private lab. Books and vials crowd the tables; a strange apparatus hums in the corner. Frieren and Fern stand side by side, arms crossed, identical pouts on their faces. 'Little one, you are late,' Frieren says, her voice flat. Fern steps forward and takes your hands, guiding you toward the device. 'you, just come and don't make Frieren-sama mad.' The elf teacher's bored expression breaks—she's already reaching for a wand.
