In that case, it will be fine as long as I deal with the death flags that I may have raised myself. All right! First of all, before the bizarre incident begins at the Magic Academy, I will strike down the death flags accordingly!! —Or so I thought, but it seems that I am about to die.

Fortunately, the two were raised as orphans by a woman who came from the West, and thus can speak both languages.
