The progress may be slow, but the story is hilarious. Fiene sees things so differently from others, that it's no wonder she manages to charm so many once they get to know her. The events at the laboratory are also surprising, though perhaps gives her a good in to no longer remain as lonely as her childhood. Mr. Ghost remains an interesting bystander as well, checking on Fiene and trying to encourage her, though it seems she's determined at this point to stay on her path. We're left with a large cliff hanger at the end of this volume as the Ice Mage and the Daybreak Witch come face to face again for the first time since she rescued him (at leas that one of them is aware of). It becomes clearer as time goes on that Fiene's abilities really aren't the norm, just like her unique view on life and the comforts most tend to crave.

There's a bit of a slow start here as this new world is established and we learn how Fiene grew up and learned magic in a rather unusual manor. She even still refers to her instructor and friend as "Mr. Ghost", though there are a few clues as to who he was in life. Curious that even the ice mage and his teacher don't seem to see him when he follows Fiene around during the reception, though they are renowned magic users on their own. There's a bit of a unique twist here as well given the identity of the Daybreak Witch. It will be interesting to see just how long her secret remains intact or if any other changes take place as this main couple learn about each other and their shared history as they now at least partially walk a path together as a new family, even if currently it is only intended to be for convenience alone.
