Manga Chapter 3

The third chapter of the Tales of Reincarnations in Maydare manga.

Summary
Three years have passed since the visit to the Salt Forest. Makia's uncle Urbanus visits the O'Drielle estate, injured from falling into a pit trap Thor and Makia dug to practice their magic a few days ago, but is informed by his older sister Julia that Makia and Thor have been invited to a ball held by Elliot's employer, Lord Bigreitz.

In the town of Delhague, Makia and Thor are walking around town. Thor gets female attention which he responds to positively, annoying Makia. This annoys Makia, who only gets even angrier when they accuse her of walking over Thor and talk bad about her lineage. Makia takes Thor away and they see a stall selling jewelry. Makia takes a liking to a pair of red crystal earrings, and Thor offers to buy them for her as a birthday present for her fourteenth birthday today. Before he could do that, they spot two purse snatchers and use their magic to stop them easily.

Later at Duke Bigreitz's manor, he laughs about their accomplishment and rewards them with permission to use the star observation tower next to the mansion. Makia is excited and thanks him. As they are going there, Makia and Thor run into Duke Bigreitz's daughter, Sumilda. Sumilda condescendingly offers to play with Makia, but she rushes past her, saying that she's busy. Thor is worried about the consequences of Makia's treatment of her, but Makia doesn't care as Sumilda once tried to buy Thor from her with her money and influence, and Makia took revenge on her by cursing her with nightmares. Makia then remembers that she forgot to ask her father about her mother's souvenir and tells Thor to go on ahead.

She returns to the parlor but before she knocks on the door, she overhears her father and the duke talking about adopting Thor into the O'Drielle house as a future son-in-law. He wants to enroll Thor in the knights' academy before that, because of his talent in magic and swordsmanship, and since Makia is enrolling into magic school for four years in the year after the next, they would be able to get married after they graduate. Makia, flustered, leaves the door without asking her father her question. Sumilda, who has also been eavesdropping, makes fun of Makia for marrying a lowborn man. Makia coldly tells her that she will be the future baroness of the O'Drielle house and that she will never let anyone insult Thor because her heart belongs to him.

Makia heads for the star observation tower, wondering about her feelings for Thor and if they were romantic. She runs into Thor and they climb the tower together as she wonders if Thor would like the idea of marrying her. They reach the top and Makia is dazzled by the view of the starry sky. Thor asks her to sit next to him and offers his cloak as a covering. She petulantly refuses, but sits down next to him after he says that he's freezing, using her natural heat as someone blessed by Fire to warm him up. As the two look up at the stars, Makia thinks about her future and realizes that she can't picture any man except Thor standing by her side. They then spot a shooting star. Thor makes a wish that Makia will get into magic school without any issue. Makia asks why he didn't make a wish for himself, and he says it is for himself as he will get a peaceful life if she becomes a splendid witch. He then asks her if anything happened as she isn't acting like her usual self today.
