**Episode 8** **"**I Am Danblf**"** is the 8th episode of She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man anime series.

## Synopsis

Mira, Cleos, and Hinata quest through a dungeon to find the information they need. Mira realizes how heavily her 30-year absence has weighed on some.

## Summary

Mira and the rest enter the dungeon. As its dark, Mira asks Cleos to light the dungeon and he uses a light spell making the dungeon bright. Progressing, Hinata notices that most of the items are in poor condition, but the books are fine. Cleos explains its likely due to the preservation and antitheft spells. As they progress a bit, they encounter monsters, which Mira and Cleos find as weak. Hinata expresses desire to showcase her evocation magic and summons a Salamander, who easily defeats the monsters. Asking for an opinion, Cleos and Mira explains that its fire breath is strong, but the salamander is slow and his defense is weak, so she needs to train him and improve that area. As they continue, they encounter more monsters and Mira asks Cleos to showcase his Salamander. Cleos then summons his Salamander, who is more fierce and dragon-looking, and with its fast movement, it easily destroys the monsters. That hypes Hinata, wanting to train her Salamander to become even stronger.

Progressing, they encounter two knight golems. Mira decides to show her Salamander and summons even more fierce and dragon-like Salamander. Hinata comments it looks like a wingless dragon. Cleos explains that Mira's Salamander makes the air expand with heat and flames and is able to fly even without wings and has full control over its flames. The Salamander then defeats the knights without them being even able to move. They reach the final area, but as its quite big, Mira wonders how she will find what she is looking for. Showing what she is looking, Cleos explains its in section 6 and shows a map on the wall. Seeing its in the back, Mira decides to fly to reach it faster, but Cleos stops her, stating that if she goes out of the dedicated routes or takes a book from a shelf, it will trigger the antitheft mechanism and countless golems would appear.

They reach a puzzle door with rubik cube. Mira and Cleos are quite bad with it and wonder what to do, but in an instant Hinata solves it, stating she is good at puzzles, due to no one visiting her classes, she had time to play puzzle games. Next they reach stone wall with an old spirit language text. As they can't read it or decipher it, Mira decides to summon Pam. A small girl then appears and Cleos explains its a rainbow spirit from the distant past, who retains all the knowledge as she is reborn again and again. Mira asks Pam if she can read it and Pam explains its says how to disarm it. There are ten stone statues and you have to turn them left or right in order. Pam then reads which statue how it should be turned and as they do, the stone wall moves and reveals a new entrance. Pam doesn't wish to go home and Mira agrees to stay with them for a bit more.

They reach the area and Mira takes out copy papers and gives it to Cleos and Hinatan to start copying pages. Pam wishes to play, but as Mira is busy, Pam decides to go play by herself. Mira and the rest are done copying, but then Pam comes, bringing a book and wanting Mira to read it to her. Mira then realizes Pam activated the antitheft mechanism and golems starts to spawn. Using Cleos bird summon, they manage to escape without having to fight the golems. Mira returns to report to Solomon. He heard that Cleos learned that Mira is Danblf and states it can't be helped if he figured it out, but comments that Mariana will be quite happy to learn the truth too. As Mira's next mission would be longer, Solomon tells her now its a good chance to tell Mariana.

Mira summons Aizenfald, who is happy to see his father, but sees it's his mother now and is happy to gain a mother. She wonders if he is okay and if he was lonely, and Aizenfald explains that he missed her, but he lives with fellow dragons in the City of Dragons. Aizenfald then states he learned a new spell and turns into human, stating that in this form he would be able to feel Mira's love even more. Mira then rides Aizenfald and flies back home. Mira feels nervous telling Mariana the truth and requests some tea. She tries telling her the truth, but Mariana states she knows, confusing what Mira wishes to say with what Danblf likes with his tea. Mira again fails to reveal the truth and Mariana then shows her the matching clothes she was making for Mira and Danblf. Mariana then starts to cry, wishing for Danblf to return soon. Mira tells her she doesn't need to make an outfit for him and that in reality she isn't Danblf's pupil, but Danblf himself. Mariana can't believe it and asks for some sort of proof. Thinking about it, Mira mentions the Fairy's Grace, a covenant that fairies, like Mariana, enter into with someone they deem worthy of devoting their life to. As they have already done it, they can renew the Grace and that will serve as proof. As they touch hands, the covenant is renewed and Mariana's wings appear. Mariana then cries, happy to meet Danblf again and they hug. At night, Mariana joins Mira in bed, stating that she was surprised by her new appearance, but now they can share a bed. Mariana guesses that Mira is going on a journey again, and because of that she wants to spend more time with her before she leaves.
