Shiros and Cloud were in Shiros's room at the inn.
Cloud didn't allow anyone to enter his room, even if it was his student.
"Shiros, the first and most important thing to become a warlock is the most dangerous and difficult. Once you overcome it, you'll start achieving successes."
"Hmmm, let me guess: defeating a demon? Or performing a summoning of an angel?"
"No."
"Then what?"
"Controlling your mind."
"Huh? I'm in great control of my mind; I can even think very quickly with sharp intelligence."
"Don't interrupt me when I speak."
"Fine, fine, I'll stay silent."
"To control your mind, you must stay inside it as long as possible. But the mind is not an ally; it's a subordinate you must suppress for no less than a few minutes while accompanying it for several hours a day."
"Oooh, man, you've made me dizzy."

Shiros sitting at the dinner table with the family, absent-minded, then suddenly turned to Sarah and said: "Hello, my friend. What do you think of the spicy wheat your auntie, who is your mother, prepared today?"
"Oh, hehe, Shiros, it's spicy, and I don't like spicy food, but my mother prepared it for you because you like it, so I'm happy today."
..........
Shiros at the reception desk in the inn, thinking: "Cloud doesn't allow me—or anyone—to enter his room. He seems to be hiding secrets... Maybe he's holding a demon there."
"Hmmm, if I free the demon, he'll reward me well, but this is just my guess."
"I must enter his room... because I suspect he's trying to prevent me from entering. Maybe he doesn't want me to become a powerful warlock, so he gives me stupid training for failures."
.......
"Oh, you've visited us again, Shiros. Welcome back."
"Hello, my old friends. How are you?"
"Yes, I'm learning sorcery now from a warlock named Cloud."
"That's great; you've taken a step forward."
"I brought you a plate of beef with sauce."
"I know you love it just like the old days."
One of them replied happily: "Hehe, Shiros, me and the companions are happy for you and full of pride to the marrow."
