## Prologue

*[Show/Hide]*

MC is in a potions class that involves A, B, and C rank students. She's sitting with Rio and Sherry. They're working on a potion that's supposed to improve the taste of food. Sherry wants to try it right away, and Rio says they can. He has doughnuts. As he's putting some of the potion on it, someone bumps into him. A small chunk of doughnut falls into MC's potion just before she adds the final ingredient. Rio apologizes, but the main character doesn't think anything of it. The professor instructs them to select someone they can test their potion on. They also have to keep the assignment a secret so the results will be unbiased. MC asks her friends who they're going to pick. They both name their valets, making MC wonder who would try hers. Sherry suggests she pick an S rank. MC isn't sure, but Rio agrees with Sherry.

After class, MC finds Tino feeding Lynt in the refectory. They invite her to join them. She dines with them and then heads off for her next class. On her way there, she bumps into Roy. They talk about where they're headed. Roy explains he's about to have a cup of tea and invites her to join him sometime.

Her class ends, and MC sees Jasper and Guy in the hall. They're talking about his schedule and shortly after notice MC. Jasper greets her and asks if her lectures are over for the day. MC confirms they are. Jasper tells her to rest well before they part ways. On her way back to her room, she sees Knight and Toa. Knight says there's a Quelsan tart in Toa's room and he has a tea that will go well with it. Toa compliments him, making Knight happy.

When MC finally reaches her room, she's greeted by Robin. He learns about her homework and asks who she plans to use the potion on. She's not sure. MC thinks back on all the people she ran into earlier and decides to pick...

## Routes

### Lynt Akedia

*[Show/Hide]*

In order to give her concoction to someone, she needs to first bake it in something. So, she heads to the kitchen. Once there, she sees Tino. he's in the middle of making dinner rolls, but fretting over how little Lynt eats. He thinks he'll have to make the food taste better to encourage Lynt to eat more. MC suggests adding the flavoring she made in class, and Tino agrees excitedly. Once the spiked rolls are ready, they take the tray up to Lynt in the refectory. As Lynt's eating, MC stares at him. She wonders if her flavoring worked. Thinking she's hungry, Lynt offers her a roll. She declines, and when Lynt finishes the roll he's eating, he curls up for a nap. MC asks if he liked the roll, but her only answer is a grunt. MC isn't sure what to make of that. Tino, on the other hand, says that's a sign Lynt liked it. MC counts that as a win.

The next day, MC has class with Rio and Sherry again. Lynt's their professor. Normally, he lectures for five minutes before telling everyone study on their own and falling asleep. Today, however, Lynt says they're going to work on transmutation. He calls each student individually for one-on-one instruction. People think this is odd, but don't think much of it. It worries MC a little. When Lynt sees MC staring at him, he smiles tenderly at her.

After class, MC isn't paying attention to where she's going and bumps into Roy. Noticing she seems troubled, Roy asks her what's wrong. She tells him she was looking for Lynt, who left immediately after class. MC also informs Roy of his odd behavior. Roy suggests if the change was sudden and drastic, it could be magically induced. Roy says he'll look into it, and asks MC to locate Lynt in the meantime.

MC Finds him in one of the experiment rooms. He smiles sweetly at her and is soon holding her close and stroking her cheeks with his thumbs. A very flustered MC pulls herself away from Lynt. He pouts a little before taking off his cloak. Thinking he's going to skip kissing her in favor of something more, MC turns around embarrassed although not at all disappointed with mental images of a half naked Lynt. She hears him say something about being hot. MC turns back around to see he was still fully clothed. Thinking he's running a fever, she takes him by the hand to look for Tino. Lynt says he knows where to find Chino(Tino) and leads her in another direction.

An hour and a half later, MC and Lynt are in a shop in town looking at cooking essences. Tino is no where to be seen. MC points out a cooking essence Rio mentioned to her once, and she suggests it to Lynt. Happy with the recommendation, Lynt says he'll buy it for Chino(Tino). MC realizes they somehow misunderstood each other, but is glad she knows that they came to the shop to buy something for Tino rather than look for him. MC tells Lynt that Tino would be happy if Lynt told Tino what he thought of the bread Tino made.

When MC and Lynt return, Tino starts scolding Lynt for disappearing. Lynt apologizes and Tino instantly forgives him. Lynt also gives Tino the essence and says he likes the bread he makes. Tino is overcome with joy. Lynt also hugs MC. She isn't sure why Lynt is hugging her, but she enjoys it. She then realizes she has a crush on Lynt.

The next day in class, Lynt seems to be back to normal. When he sees she's staring at him, he turns away. MC's not sure how she feels about that.

When class is over, Roy finds MC. He asks to talk to her. Roy takes MC aside and pulls out the vial her potion had been in. He explains that he talked to Tino and thinks the potion she made caused Lynt's weird behavior. It was slow-acting and something sweet added to it (the bit of Rio's doughnut) caused it to function as an aphrodisiac. Roy also tells her that the potion seems to have worn off already, so she shouldn't worry about it.

When they part ways, MC feels confused. Did she have a crush on a version of Lynt that didn't really exist? If all the stuff he did yesterday was the result of her potion, did he actually feel nothing for her? She goes to the anterior courtyard to sort out her thoughts, but bumps into Lynt. She tries to explain what happened and apologize, but Lynt notices she's sad and tries to comfort her. Tino arrives shortly after with bread freshly baked with the essence Lynt gave him the day before. MC tries to sneak away, but Lynt asks her to eat with him. Unable to say no, she stays and eats one of the rolls. She tells Tino how good it is, and then the two look to Lynt. He doesn't say anything at first. When he finishes his roll, he tells Tino he liked it. While Tino is overjoyed at the compliment, Lynt turns to MC and tells her she was right; he should tell people how he feels from time to time. This gives MC hope that the potion just brought out another side of Lynt rather than turned him into a different person. Her thoughts are interrupted when Lynt tells MC that he loves her smile. She gets flustered and says she loves him too, then quickly specifies his smile and that seeing him happy makes her happy. He thanks her and she rests her head on his shoulder.
