Ahh… it seems like I'm up earlier than these two. Well, that's bound to happen—they must've been sleep deprived for a long time.
I hope they catch up on sleep… then we can eat together. Today we might be going to the 'guild'. Well, I'm gonna have to find that mister hero. He did say he was staying here, and if we needed help, we should ask him… so yeah, I'll ask for directions.
Anyway, I should get up and take a bath… but I have water magic, so maybe I'll try using that instead of paying fifty silvers. That's just a waste.
But for now… I need to leave quietly so they don't wake up—
*Creak Creak*
…yeah, fuck, they woke up.
I mean, I was in the middle, so I probably made some huge movements trying to get off.
"Mmmh… Lia… where you going…" Rei mumbles.
"Mmm… don't go…" Zera adds.
"I'm just going to take a bath, guys~ don't worry. And I'll be using water magic, so we don't have to buy warm water," I say happily.
"Huh? Magic? I wanna see," Zera says jolting up.
"Yeah, me too—and can you teach us?" Rei adds becoming wide awake.
"Sure, let's get going," I say.
Hah… I really wanted them to get some good sleep, but I guess we're taking a bath together…
…wait. Holy fuck.
I'm screwed—we're taking a bath together.
Nah… it's fine. Besides, I'm teaching them magic. I'll just focus on that. I'm not that weak-willed that I can't resist staring.
…Right?
Okay, time to teach them how to feel mana and release it.
But first, let me check their elements:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Hmm… are elements based off your life?
They both have dark… and it seems Rei has a Calm Mind skill. Maybe she's been mentally attacked… and abused before…
Whereas Zera has Reinforced Body… maybe she got beaten a lot? Probably because she's quiet…
…that's just so harsh.
Wow… I feel so sad for them.
Well… now I'll teach them magic so they can defend themselves… so they never get hurt again.
"Okay, so first of all—Rei, you're good at light and dark magic, while Zera is good at dark and earth magic. And to use magic, just focus on your heart… feel your blood flowing… then a slight warmth will build up, and you just guide it to your hands. Simple?" I say.
"Wow… you sure know a lot. Are you really seven?" Rei asks suspiciously.
"Yeah, you're super smart. You could tell our affinities straight away," Zera adds.
Oh, fucking hell… what have I done…
I just wanted to help you guys… I really need to act like a seven year old and get my act together or I'm finished.
"Oh, well… before I came to your cell, I always heard the guards and people talk about magic—how to use it, sense it, how it feels. And I practiced a lot in the cell quietly, so… of course I'm pretty smart. But when it comes to cities and where to go, I'm clueless, so yeah…" I say.
"…Hmm, okay. I'm going to try now," Zera says.
"Me too," Rei adds.
While they're trying… I just start stripping and use my water magic.
[Activated Water Magic Lv.0]
It forms a small ball… so for about two whole minutes, I concentrate and—
SPLASH!
I dump it all over myself.
…Fuck, it's cold.
I start shivering, but then I feel some warmth.
"OH—I DID IT! LOOK, ZERA AND LIA!" Rei shouts.
It seems like she activated her light—a small glowing ball, giving off a bit of warmth.
"I DID IT TOO—LOOK!" Zera holds a dark, ominous ball in her palm, giving off an eerie aura.
"Seems like you guys learned it. Well done—that was super cool," I say, clapping.
Task one complete—teach them magic.
I didn't get a quest for it, but I still got a reward… not like I'm complaining.
