The Archmage's Daily Research Reports

[Completed~ Bugs and censorship edits are being revised gradually, orz]

[Synopsis]

The mage Ciprins discovers that he is a stand-in lover: his boyfriend's unattainable ideal is actually someone else. He promptly breaks up with him, ready to spend the rest of his life growing old with knowledge. But then comes an unexpected turn-

"Thanks, you jerk. Your dream lover and I are together now."

Two eccentric mages with the same values, similar interests, and identical academic views-practically each other's other self in this world-whose apprentices describe them both as "time travelers from the Age of Legends" and "the bane of electronics," and who are utterly out of place in modern society. Them getting together makes perfect scientific sense.

Note: The author just wants to write a fluffy, easygoing story about lovey-dovey daily life. The plot isn't tightly paced. Smooches! The central couple is the protagonist and that dream lover, and the attraction is mutual. Who [beep]s whom depends entirely on their mood that day. That cannon-fodder jerk of an ex has had their lovey-dovey antics rubbed in his face so relentlessly that he's now suffering severe internal injuries.

Reading Guide:

1. The magical continent has entered the age of modern technology-or even futuristic high technology-so don't be surprised to see mages using smartphones. Though our protagonist can't even figure out a basic senior-friendly phone...

2. Don't worry: the cannon-fodder boyfriend has absolutely no chance of getting back together with him.

3. Thanks to all the classics of Western fantasy for their intellectual support. The elements used here are all familiar staples of Western fantasy, but the specific setting, systems, and worldbuilding are my own inventions, especially the magic system and magical technology. Please do not examine them through a scientific lens, because this is very unscientific. Seriously.

4. If you've read other stories in this series, this one shares the same setting, but takes place nearly six thousand years after Hymn of Praise. Familiar characters will, at most, make tiny appearances in odd Easter eggs.

5. The author loves melodrama and sweetness.
