　Who is this girl... Wizard-chan (tentative name)?

　She looks quiet, but the way she speaks is slightly childish, which is just too cute.

13: Anonymous of the Wind

　"The bread is chewy and delicious" - I was totally captivated

17: Anonymous of the Wind

19: Anonymous of the Wind

　A hero in the role of a childhood friend has arrived!

22: Anonymous of the Wind

　The art for the oracle scene was amazing...

　The scene where the light shines in the sky and gently touches the hero's forehead was so quiet that it felt almost sacred.

27: Anonymous of the Wind

　Hero: "I've decided to go on a journey."

　Wizard-chan (name withheld): "I see, then I'll go too."

　That was such a quick response lol

30: Anonymous of the Wind

　The motivation for the trip is so lame that it actually hits home...

34: Anonymous of the Wind

　Is this like a powerless wizard following a hero's party?

36: Anonymous of the Wind

　Wizard-chan (provisional name) is waved at by the village children and told, "Good luck!"

　"Hehe, I'm off!" she laughs, it's so innocent...

40: Anonymous of the Wind

　Was it just me, or did the villagers who were seeing them off look a little worried?

42: Anonymous of the Wind

　There's a sense of "Can they fight?"

　But I was glad that the hero said naturally, "Don't worry, I'll protect her."

47: Anonymous of the Wind

　By the way, that girl's name isn't mentioned here?

　Can we just call her Wizard-chan?

50: Anonymous of the Wind

　The departure scene was so beautiful

　The wind blew, and the wizard's hair fluffed...

54: Anonymous of the Wind

　On the first night of the journey, while the hero baked bread over the campfire

　Wizard-chan laughing and saying "It's burning" is so soothing...

59: Anonymous of the Wind

　A small monster appears in the first battle

　→Wizard-chan: "Yay!"

　→ Monsters explode

　→ Hero: "Wow, that's amazing!!"

63: Anonymous of the Wind

　The magic is kind of laid back and cute, but strangely powerful lol

　The tip of the wand was glowing yellow. What is that?

67: Anonymous of the Wind

　Hmm, maybe the color determines the attributes?

70: Anonymous of the Wind

　It feels like a mysterious item

74: Anonymous of the Wind

　The wizard is always smiling

　Rather than being cheerful, it looks like a smile that is trying to "reassure"

77: Anonymous of the Wind

　That's it. It's only the first episode, but it's a bit troubling to watch.

　When she suddenly looks away, or when the atmosphere becomes strangely quiet,

80: Anonymous of the Wind

　Is that so? I don't feel that way.

　She's just what she looks like

81: Anonymous of the Wind

　But right now, isn't it really a soothing role?

　I was really touched when she and the hero were sitting around the bonfire and saying, "Let's do our best again tomorrow."

86: Anonymous of the Wind

　The ending begins quietly with just one guitar, isn't that amazing? It feels like a journey.

89: Anonymous of the Wind

　The lyrics "I felt like I could walk on without magic" give me a bad feeling

92: Anonymous of the Wind

　The ending has come

　I never thought the ending would just be the two of them sitting around a campfire...

96: Anonymous of the Wind

　Preview: "Next time, it's an exam with the princess~"

　An exam!? And the princess is going to appear?

99: Anonymous of the Wind

　At the end, Wizard-chan handed the hero some bread and said, "Here you go."

　Is this really revenge for the burnt bread from earlier?... What kind of kindness is this?

1: Anonymous of the Wind

　The royal capital has arrived! The background artwork is amazing!

3: Anonymous of the Wind

　I get it, the background team animators is serious lol

　The light in the distance and the wind really felt like they were breathing...

6: Anonymous of the Wind

　Since it's the royal capital, doesn't that mean the princess will appear? She was in the opening.

9: Anonymous of the Wind

　The princess has arrived!

　Isn't the visual too strong? It blends in with the background yet stands out so well.

13: Anonymous of the Wind

　Princess: "Can this child really fight?"

　→There is a theory that Wizard-chan's excessive smile is actually scary

16: Anonymous of the Wind

　That smile isn't "It's okay" but "Don't worry about it" - it's unfair

　I like how the hero is protecting her. It gives off a sense of trust.

20: Anonymous of the Wind

　The hero had a look on his face that said "Because I believe in her"

　The childhood friend move is strong from the first episode.

36: Anonymous of the Wind

　The Wizard-chan kept a straight face and remained silent throughout the exam lol

　Result: 2 points

　Princess: Speechless

41: Anonymous of the Wind

　2 points lol

45: Anonymous of the Wind

　The princess said, "With this score, there's no way we can send her into battle..."

　I like how the hero is a little annoyed, his desire to protect is clearly visible.

48: Anonymous of the Wind

　But seriously, the princess's response was just right.

51: Anonymous of the Wind

　Isn't it amazing how the swordsman has such presence even though he hasn't said a word up to this point?

　Just by standing silently next to the princess, you can tell he's on guard - that's a clever move.

56: Anonymous of the Wind

　The training ground scene has arrived!!

　Hero: "Watch her!" Wizard-chan: "Go!"

60: Anonymous of the Wind

　It smashes through the wall and blows up half of the training ground.

　Princess: "…………"

　Swordsman: "..."

　Everyone else: “……”

64: Anonymous of the Wind

75: Anonymous of the Wind

　The wand was glowing yellow again.

78: Anonymous of the Wind

　The princess's line "...contrary to appearances, you're quite flashy" hit the spot lol

　But her tone has softened a bit, hasn't it?

82: Anonymous of the Wind

　The hero exclaims with a smug look on his face, "Isn't that amazing?"

　He was petting Wizard-chan, and it was a totally big brother move that made me happy.

87: Anonymous of the Wind

　Even though she only got a 2 on the test, she's really strong in combat, it's making me feel uneasy

　I really feel like she only have "power"

90: Anonymous of the Wind

　The princess said, "We should take another look at it."

　It's nice to see trust being built little by little.

　Meanwhile, Swordsman-san, it's time for you to speak.

95: Anonymous of the Wind

　Wizard-chan is seriously cute

　She's a bit naive, but there's a strength behind her smile that I really like.

98: Anonymous of the Wind

　It's scary how easily she might save the world with a light-hearted attitude like, "Let's get a little motivated."

103: Anonymous of the Wind

　Next episode preview: "Next up, we'll be at the hot springs~"

　We won!! (sure)
