Nanase and Her Fox Conclusion!
Commentary
The inevitable consequence of good people working around a magic system that, whether intentionally or not, encourages selfish spells.
Which I wish I could say was the plan way back when I first came up with the magic system, bu...

Desired Spells

Of course Ashley has cat ears again. Nanase just got done telling her to indulge.
"Want" as a word is a bit confusing at times, and the simplest example is anything anyone does for their own good that they don't enjoy doing. Th...

Self awareness.

The Freshman fifteen refers to students in their first year of college gaining 15 lbs (6.8 kg) for various reasons. It was joked about enough for even me to be aware of it when I was in college.

This comic was a late thought I had, and I think it's an interesting question, so now this comic exists.

Nanase doesn't get twice the salary by summoning Fox, but the tips are quite generous!
Which may or may not have something to do with why Nanase chose to make this specific trade when summoning Fox? It's a mystery.

This would mean Amanda and Lisa answering your questions.
Part of why I'm considering this is that it seemed like I was getting a lot of technical questions about magic and such.

Basically, if there are enough ...
