Whaaat? Isn't that like an entry-level book for kids?

You made such a big deal out of it that I started to wonder, but... You really can be stingy, huh, Patchy~?

I don't care if it's for kids or adults, it's a high-quality instructive text valuable enough to be part of my collection. An ignorant layman like you wouldn't know.

Hoo~ Snappy, aren't we~

The knowledge required of a magician is something you should earn with your own efforts, even if you're a lifeform below a rat.

I'm not being "stingy".

It's synonymous with being a magician, so I treat it with the severity it deserves. I definitely didn't let my guard down or anything...

Is that truly what being a magician is all about...?

Yes, it is.
