‘At this rate, my mana will be depleted.’
Nainiae calculated the amount of mana left and compared it to the amount of water left to be cleansed. She realized it won’t work like this, so she changed the spell.
‘I should gently push the rotten clouds away.’
Both mana and time were at critical point. Like a surgeon, Nainiae’s face was covered in sweats.
‘Focus.’
Nainiae quickly cancelled the cleansing magic on her left hand and immediately used wind magic.
“… Kup.”
It seemed she overexerted herself. A stream of black blood started to flow from her lips and drop below her chin.
‘Did it work?’
The raindrops, which became lighter from gravity magic, started to get carried away by her wind magic.
‘It’s working.’
Nainiae didn’t even think about wiping off the blood flowing on her face. She smiled as she looked at the polluted rain being carried away to the distance.
‘It worked.’
The polluted rain was going to cause a huge casualty, but it was now moving far away from Rainfield. Relieved, Nainiae sighed.
“Ha…”
On top of the clock tower, dizziness suddenly overcame Nainiae. Her legs started to falter, and the rainfall and wind started again after the gravity magic was canceled.
‘I’m glad it turned out well.’
She was having difficulty standing. She struggled to stand and grabbed the lightning pole to support herself.
“Wow…”
“It’s amazing…”
Boom.
Boom.
She could hear the cheering crowd from below, and she could see the firework lighting the sky. Nainiae vacantly stared at the scenery in front of her.
“…”
From the tall clock tower, she could see the waterfall pathway down below.
There were people watching the fireworks.
“… I saved them.”
Nainiae looked at the people watching the fireworks. She smiled proudly and mumbled,
“I save them…”
There were people that Riley and Nainiae saved.
They were alive.
“I managed to save them.”
Nainiae watched the people enjoying the beautiful scenery. To Nainiae, who came to Rainfield for the first time to see the fireworks, it was the most beautiful grand scenery.

The flipping sound of newspaper was like in response to the sound of rainfall from outside.
[Slowed rainfall was observed in Rainfield. A phenomenon like this was the first in the history. Meteorologists and mana experts wondered if a dragon, which is only rumored to exist, passed by the city. The opinions were divided.]
Flip
The newspaper was turned to the next page.
[Also, the slowed rainfall started to rise up, which was a remarkable phenomenon. Combined with fireworks, it created the most beautiful scenery in the Rainfield’s waterfall pathway firework history. This became a big news.]
The boy was vacantly reading the newspaper.
“… Hm.”
Meanwhile, a maid carefully prepared a tea for the boy so she wouldn’t get in his way. She carefully set the tea cup down and said,
“Young Master, here…”
“Oh, leave it there.”
The boy didn’t even bother to turn to look at the maid wearing a mask. He checked the news.
[The story is that the dark mage that appeared in the library recently was still not apprehended. The families of the victims, infuriated, confronted the guards, and this lead to injuries to people. The authorities involved in the investigation said they will quickly find his trace and apprehend him. However, the families of the victims didn’t seem to be believing them.]
Nainiae’s voice could be heard from a close range.
“… So, in the end, it looks like the official story is that the dark mage was not caught.”
Having heard the voice, Riley looked at the maid’s face and furrowed his brows.
“Don’t talk to me from the side so close.”
