You've already started doing spirit research

We're all mages of Aspio, aren't we?
We can be civil to each other.

リタが心配してたみたいだが
全然大丈夫そうじゃねぇか

Rita seemed pretty worried, but it looks
like things are going to work out.

エステル
みんな、研究への好奇心は
抑えられないんですね

As researchers, their desire to study
new things is too powerful to fight.

こいつら全員、
同じ穴のムジナってことだな

Yeah. They may be older than Rita, but these

Well, we'd prefer something

私たちは、
もうちょっと実用的な方向に
ならないか模索するさ

We're going to see if there might
be a slightly more practical
direction we can take it in.

リタ
そう……あたしにも
もう少し、考えさせて

その術式を上手く使う方法が
わかったら、また来るから

頼りにするよ
Thanks a lot!
