Adaptation Notes
Differences from the web novel:
 * The chapter "Book Fairies" is extended in the light novel. Anos suggests numerous ways of studying to Sasha: one is using Teles, a spell that is only mentioned in the light novel, to engrave knowledge directly into her head, and another method is using Rivide to control her time and prolong her memory.
