"Well, then, I'll leave you to it. I still have work to do."

Nell, finished eating the cake, gets up, saying so.

"What, are you going now? Now take it slower. I want you and Hal standing together."

"Be sure!

"... you guys are quite different after all. Well, I'll think about it. If you feel like it."

"And the next time we come, we'll have three cakes."

"Yes, sir."

"Master, you can't rush like that. It was delicious, but not overt."

Yuna also looks at an empty dish of flickering and cake that prompts her to be so cautious. With a smile on his face, Nell kept in mind that he would bring a souvenir next time.

"Oh, yeah. Graduation Festival at the Ardelheit School of Magic in a month, Hal will also be attending, so come and see if you like."

"At the graduation festival?

By the way, Hal has not yet been informed that he is participating in the graduation festival. I don't know what you're talking about, and I'm smiling over my head with a question mark.

"Well, I have a position as the captain of the regiment, so I'm going to go drool over an unfulfilled lesson... but are you willing to force me to join you?

"I have a handover. If I can win, I want you to acknowledge Hal's strength. Sooner or later, it wasn't Joseph's group of brave men who defeated the Demon King, but Hal, who was just like his village daughter."

"... I'm not sure about my village daughter, but I don't judge her by her crappy origins or her lower horse reviews. All I believe is what I see in my own eyes."

"Then you're safe."

The Ardelheit School of Magic is a training institution specializing in magic, launched at the National Ground. There are things that do not insult the power of those who take the lead, even though they are students. On top of that, Yuna's victory presupposes a big deal, and that's all that's in Derris' head. Nell was just a little, somewhat quite interested in the power of Yuna to gain so much trust.

"Sa, we have to try one more this afternoon to make it suitable for Nell's glasses, Hal!

"I don't know what you're talking about, but let's do our best, Master!

Above all, it's been a long time to see Derris full of vitality that he's unmotivated all year round. I feel like I'm happy about that, a little lonely, I can't get it sorted out in me.

(... ah)

Nell came up with something to get rid of those unboiled thoughts. It is unclear whether it would be a good way to test Yuna's strength and strengthen her connection with Derris, but it seemed like an idea for Nell to have no more.

"Right. I'm looking forward to graduation."

Nell says as he softly touches the pattern of the sword he put on his hips. Two people don't know that she's smiling like a young kid succeeded in a flying prank on her way home.

The castle town of Deanna, with its strenuous buildings that can be viewed from anywhere in the city. It is the royal castle of Ardelheit, the kingdom of magic, inhabited by a king ruling this country. The castle, which pokes at heaven but soars, is a pride for the people and is highly regarded in terms of tourism. That said, the only people who can get inside, except the royal family, are the middle-class clerks, magical knights and soldiers, workers working in the castle, and a limited number of people with permission to see. Classmates such as Chinatsu are exceptions to the rule, a special treatment whose existence has not even yet been made public.

They are not allowed to leave the castle without permission. At the same time, this is to prevent Nell from losing track of his whereabouts, like the group of bad friends he was talking about. There were five missing boys, no sign of writing or talking to other students, and it was sudden. After they disappear, the students left behind are given a watchful treatment, a system that is kept under constant surveillance.

If that is all, students will naturally be dissatisfied. So Joseph prepared another chain. We decided to prepare our students' wishes and desires whenever possible. Sometimes it was Joseph who cut off summonses from different worlds, and there is no assistance from the state on this. It's all an investment thrown at Joseph's personal property, an investment that can also be called a waste of name. Superb meals, treasures, heterosexuality - anything that might stop me, I prepared. In modern times, they were common high school students, and they had no choice but to drown in this treatment. Especially the brave men with the power of level 5, Tae Jiang Ko (Toe Akira) and the fighter, Mizuho Knife (Mizuho and Uko) are very rare warriors. In preparation for the day to come, I wanted to keep any further loss of combat power at bay.

"Hey, Chinatsu. Are you kidding me again?

"... knife"

Bench in the corner of a given settlement. So Chinatsu looked out at the sky, and the sword spoke out in a disgruntled manner.

"It's a terrible thing. You're worried about Yoona, aren't you?

"... Huh!

Chinatsu stares sharply at the knife. own status that has been summoned to this world and disclosed without any translation. Now that I think about it, it was a bad idea that they showed me the information that is this hand note as it was told. There is certainly something about me that was a detour. But in the first place, it was the men around them and the knives that rushed in the funny half that instigated it. I guess some people expected Yuna's famous power, both in-school and out-of-school. Even so, as soon as I found out Yuna's status was fragile, I got a curse mockery. The knife also took part in it and was one who curled his anger. As a result, Yuna was just taken away by one person and gone somewhere. Chinatsu's classmate who made him do so was able to forgive Joseph for summoning him to this world on his own.

"Ha, don't stare so much. Sure, I got emotional then, too. I thought you were a rival, Yuna, but all you had was poor power like a lie. I'm disappointed..."

"- Knife, if I say any more, 'cause I'm serious."

One hand of Chinatsu holds a sheath of swords. No, of the knife, to be exact. Though his profession was a monk, Chinatsu had gained his own skills in "swordsmanship" that had nothing to do with his profession. Is that a sign that you value the time you spent with Yoona or that you are willing to rebel against your intentions around you? The razor was also a corner and a sword screen that seemed to pull the knife out of the sheath. Even if the knife is above the occupational level, Chinatsu's sword will not be insulted. Moreover, the sword of Chinatsu was a product that Joseph had requested and prepared. It would be a battle that would not be a glimmer for a knife using its own fist as a weapon, as is metaphorically described as a Kendo triple step.

"So he said it was my fault! Even I didn't mean to say that..."

"... stop talking about it"

"I get it. But cheer up, will you? It's always about Yuna, who overrides my expectations. I'm sure you're doing well somewhere."

"Well, what do you say?"

An evil atmosphere befalls the scene. But even more evil ones were nearby by surprise, and they crossed before them.

"Captain Nell, I don't need you to be on your own! They are guests of our country!

"Where and when did you send that guest to Derris on an arbitrary basis? Yeah, I've been trying to remember this far, but you're not coming out. If I recall, I'll tell the king."

"Ugh, guh...!

It was Nell, dressed as a knight's dress, and Joseph, the beginning of the matter. What a mess.

"Hey...... oh? Um, yeah, yeah. You have good eyes there. What's your name?

"Huh? Ah, it's Deer Fort, Chinatsu..."

Unexpectedly his eyes met, and Chinatsu, questioned by his name, solidified. This must be true of a snake-studded frog. Chinatsu's head, filled with anger until earlier, is now filled with fear. Not so long ago, there was something in front of the woman that didn't say whether or not there was.

"Yeah, that's a good name, too. Chinatsu, disciple me."

………

Thousands of Natsu's information processing speeds have not kept pace with Nel's words, which are unexpected. However, Nel's mouth continues without any concern, such as Chinatsu, which solidifies.

"Yes, you're anxious to be told this all of a sudden. But don't worry. Because I already have Joseph's permission. Isn't that right, Prime Minister Joseph? If she leaves it to me, everything's fine. Okay, no problem, right?

"Gu... Yeah, well..."

"Well, I wonder what a wonderful thing it is to get the ink from the Prime Minister Joseph! Congratulations, Chinatsu, now you are my apprentice. I'll make you a brave man stronger than any other elephant. The first goal is a graduation festival, let's go!

"Yeah? Hey, you know..."

When Nell caught her without waiting for a response, she left the royal castle for the first time. The remaining knife and Joseph were unable to utter words for a while.
