I walked back to the city after I dropped off the Wearines. By the end of the feast of the dragons, the night had completely dawned and the pleasant morning sun had illuminated the city.

Six thick lines running toward the arena built in the heart of the city. The road, built as a boulevard towards the arena, is lined with shops, housewares that support the livelihoods of the city's people, shops that sell groceries, and souvenir shops for large audiences who come to watch the game. The streets bustling with people coming to such shops by day are also quiet in the morning. There were few shops with sparse streets open.

I walked down such a boulevard for a while and came back to the inn.

I want to go to bed early because yesterday was a tiresome day.

With that in mind, when I opened the door, Charstena slept with Sue in the waiting room. Hey, did she wait all day for me to come home?

I can't believe you were banqueting with the dragons without knowing that...

I was sorry, but when I held Charstena softly to keep her awake, I put her in the bed in her room.

Then when I got back to my room, I took a light shower to sweat yesterday and then lay down in my cot. Haku was asleep on the bet, but he didn't even realize I was back.

Thus, the arrow tip, the van and the door, which tried not to fall against the sleeper, opened in momentum.

"Ray, it's all right. Come with me now."

"Pippy"

Haku, who slept gussy, jumped up in surprise at Gilk's shout.

"Don't make me laugh in the morning. What the hell?

I woke up and listened back, watered where I was about to go to sleep, a little grumpy, but I couldn't let it get out of the way until I heard about Gilk, who had rushed in to take care of me.

Your Tamer application didn't go through.

"Ha ⁉ why ⁉"

"I was driven back to see if I could tame a dragon. Come with me anyway. If it actually looks like it, it should come through."

Damn, isn't it really important? Just go, come home and go to bed.

That's why I took a sleepy hack and headed to Tamer's application with Gilk.

The application itself ended immediately after showing Haku. But then we went home for breakfast on Gilk and Boulevard, and we didn't go back to the inn and go into the right store.

"There you are. Will you sit where you're appropriately vacant?

"Okay."

Look for empty seats and look around the store. Even though it was morning, the store was busy close to full capacity with visitors who came to eat mornings. Proceed inside such a store and discover the empty seats that were in the back. When the two of us moved that far, there was a familiar head in the seat just around the corner.

"Dick, are you breakfast too?

"Ahhhhhhhhh?

"Eat, then talk."

I don't know what you're talking about. And dirty.

There are many plates piled up on Dick's sitting table, and it looks like he's got a full appetite in the morning. On the other hand, however, the girl sitting directly in front of it is eating a plate of cherished food, with a slight glare pointed at the front.

Not even looking at such a gaze, Dick reaches into a new plate and puts his mouth in when he swallows what was in his mouth.

"Gehun!"

"Who told you to eat it all and then talk? I said eat what you put in your mouth."

"Momogu, ok. It hurts already. Rays eating too?

"Oh. Are you with your parents today?"

That's what I say. I turn to my parents. Was this child indeed Alice and a child of his name?

I don't know why, but I look nervous.

"Yeah, 'cause you're gonna get lost."

"Hey, we're leaving Ray's."

"Ma'am, are you going to tell me you can't eat dinner with your enemies? You know, we're not even killing each other, do we need to do that?

Stop Gilk trying to leave the store and just say a few small words. I don't hate this guy's fever for a militant tournament victory, but I don't feel a little overdone.

You'll need to put it in your mouth once and say it to him.

"Yes! You're going to give information to your enemies."

"Asshole. He's trying to gather information while he's eating."

I sat still in my seat, not listening to Gilk.

"My asshole's bad."

I apologized mainly to Alice. Dick is hitting the rice with a strange face, so that's all right.

"No, I know what you're talking about."

"Parents are older than us, aren't they? I don't need any respect."

I don't want to use it either.

'Cause from what I hear, it's like Dick's body. You said you lived with me for a few years, and most importantly, you're a guardian.

"Alice, she's pretty tough, so she's still saluting me."

"Or it's not hard! Considering my sequence as a knight, I need to be an example to the other knights..."

Sequence?

Is Dick in a better position than this guy?

Naturally speaking, what about standing above normal knights when it comes to student minutes?

"Right? Stiff, isn't it?

"Yeah? Well, yeah. I didn't hear you were in a better position than that."

"It's not great. At the Knights School, a position like the student chairman of another school is called the Knights Chief, but Alice is my vice knight."

"Isn't that great? Heh, lost student chairman."

"He's the Lost Knight."

It doesn't matter either way. It's not important there.

You're really a guy who can't get through to irony or something. The guardian is half-eyed.

Sit down, Gilk.

"... I have no choice. I'll give you a break for the full course."

"I'm kidding. I'd rather have you luxury."

What's the full course? Even though it's this one that's bothering me.

"Which hack do you eat?

"This and this and this"

"What about Gilk?

"I'm fine with normal mornings."

Morning One is a snack.

Call the clerk and place an order for three. As an example, the clerk was stunned.

"Huh."

"What, lack of sleep?

That's what Gilk has heard when he stretches his body out with a big stretch.

"Sleep deprivation or not. I tried to sleep, and you came to get me."

"Right. I'm sorry about that. Well, I'm off today, so you should get some sleep later."

"Let me do that."

"Haku goes to bed too."

"You slept well enough, didn't you?

Haku is cute telling me to sleep with him, but don't just spoil him extra.

We need to have a proper and regular life. Haku will try to sleep if he has time.

"Ray, what's going on... something's hardening Alice..."

"Huh? Why?

With that said, when I turned to Alice, the person in question, my mouth was wide open and my eyes were open and solidified. My mouth shakes from time to time.

I was in a state where I thought you were ruined even though you were beautiful.

"Hey, what's up?

I'll try calling him that, but he's not responding. This needs to be noticed. I grab Dick's head in a gasp and I force him to approach Alice's eyes.

"Hey, what? What are you doing, Ray?

Just shut up and don't do anything.

When Dick's face arrived just before Alice's face, to the point where she touched it, with my assistance,

"Hiccup."

and Alice lowered back with her face bright red. But I did that sitting in a chair, so I fell behind every chair clean as it was.

"Hey, what are you doing, Hika⁉?"

"What? Me?

Pushing all the blame on Dick, I return to my meal knowingly.

"Now, I tried to kiss you. ⁉⁉I don't mind, but I'm suddenly surprised. ⁉That's more of a place for people like that..."

Alice knocked on her desk with a van and wondered if she would get angry, and the next moment she was blushing and mozzling her cheeks repeatedly.

Hey, you're a youth.

"Yeah, I don't know, I'm sorry."

You got to understand. I mean, you know what?

"Dick, we're going."

"Eh ⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉R"

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Now it's the case between you two. It's not about us talking.

The three of us left the store with Dick and Alice, who was still moping and angry all by herself.

"As always, you're a livestock. I'm still glad I made that name."

"You're kidding me. You're seriously mistaken, aren't you? If you don't get the wrong idea, you're going to die."

"Ooh, ooh"

"And that blunt thing has to do about that. I just gave him a hand."

I was stunned by Dick, who still didn't notice in that situation, but as a child, I'll lend him some help in the future.

I'm only talking about those two, so I'm not going to overcook you.

Me, Gilk, and three of Haku are back at the inn.

Huck had Saila follow him to the next level, and Gilk headed to the arena to watch the game.

I went back to my room and closed my eyes when I finally slept.

But once again, it gets in the way.

A knock called Concon rang into the room.

I thought I'd ignore him for a moment, but if it was Charstena, I'd open the door because it was bad.

"Good morning, Mr. Ray"

"Lycood? Hey, what's up?

"I need to talk to you for a second, okay?

"Oh, let's go inside."

It wasn't Charstena, it was Lycood, but if it was just talk, I'd invite him inside.

"So? What are you talking about?

"Actually, I'm thinking about quitting school."

"... why again? Do I need to quit because I got up to class A?

Lycood has brought up a story that looks more serious than I thought. As a senior here, I asked why I had to listen carefully and advise him.

"When Mr. Ray graduates this year, he's gonna be a full adventurer and go around the world, right?

"Oh. I'm going to"

"Would you be angry if I told you I was leaving school because I wanted to go with it?

I can't even remember my anger. I'm glad my junior admires me and says so.

"I'm not angry. It's bad for the parents who just paid for their tuition. Isn't it too late to graduate?

It was like I didn't need to be in school this past year either. Still, I continued to be a student because of this militant tournament and bad for my fathers.

"I don't have any parents. I earned my own tuition."

"Yourself? In that year?

I never touched the fact that I had no parents. There were many such children in Royal College. They said it looked spicy that demons and bandits had killed them. That happens on a daily basis in this world. I guess Lyckd is one of those victims.

But what's different is where he hasn't got anyone to help him? The other kids were raised by relatives and someone their parents knew instead, and they even paid for their tuition.

"I don't want Mr. Ray to tell me."

Looks like Lycood was earning a hefty tuition at this age for the Royal School. I don't know how, but I also know I don't have to ask what I would have struggled with.

Though Lycood, who gave it back with half a laugh, doesn't seem to think it's hard work.

"Sure... but okay? So you quit school on the way in? Don't you regret it?

"What do you think? I know you have regrets, but I thought it would be better for you to stay with Mr. Ray than to go to school and improve your strength while you work."

Do you have any regrets? Then, as far as I'm concerned, I want to keep going to college.

Only now. I can only attend that college.

You can travel with me as much as you want after you graduate.

"... I wouldn't recommend it. Schools are made to learn. The environment is quite tidy, and most importantly, there are teachers who can teach us. I do have a lot to teach you, too. But I don't know if I have that time while I go around the world. I don't think it makes sense to always train while you're on the move, and I think you're going to be in the so-called demonic nest, the dungeon. There's nothing I can teach you in that place, is there?

The world is wide. Even with the specs of a body incomparable to this Earth, it takes years to get from end to end on this continent alone.

So most of the journey is spent on travel for that matter.

Sometimes you'll sleep where the demons are in Ujauja. In the meantime, the timing at which training and teaching can be preached is limited.

"I just want to say I'll learn for myself, but you don't actually know. Mr. Ray's move. I barely knew what I was doing in the game. I knew you weren't strong enough to keep up with Mr. Ray in the first place."

Lykud's right. If you can watch my movements and learn, that's fine.

But Lycood hasn't reached that zone yet.

Lyckd must be worried because he's aware of it.

"... Well, if you say it without decorating the words, you do. To be clear, I think you could die right now. I'm not going anywhere dangerous until I help Saila. But then, for my dreams, I really need to invade danger. You're just gonna suspend school for a year and follow me?

I suggested that as one option.

Royal College classes from four years are elective. If you don't go there for a whole year, you won't be expelled.

In addition, it is possible to enroll in all subjects in two years. I can get it back after a year off.

I waited with a serious eye for Lyckd's answer.

"... No, I'll stop. I was refreshed to talk to Mr. Ray. I will work hard in Wangdu some years later. [M] Then we'll go after Mr. Ray."

Lycood's answer was to stay at the Royal College. I said that with a refreshing look. I was no longer lost in him.

As a senior, I seem to have been able to take my junior troubles in a good direction. I bow my chest down.

"Right. Well, you don't know where he is, and you're gonna pick him up from me. From time to time, he was going to come back to the capital and the village of Sierra."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Don't worry about it.

It's a pleasure to have more people traveling with me.

There's nothing like stopping by and picking him up.

That's how I showed my junior path as a senior, then when I tried to fall asleep again, junior 2 came this time.

Don't let your sleep get in the way today.

Besides, I've told you to listen to me with a face that looks more serious than Lycood's. There's no reason to push him back because he's just sleepy, and he invites him into the room again.

"Senior, please help me"

"Huh? That's all I'm in trouble for you to say? What do you need help from? Explain it from scratch."

"Actually, I have a fiancée. The only village I was born in was the Beast Man, but by the time I was born, I already had someone to marry."

I think there's something missing, but let's not go in there. I can't talk about it.

"So I went into college to get away from him, and soon I was old enough to get married, so I got a letter every day telling me to come home. Please, seniors! Run off with me!

"Dumb, dumb, dumb dog! I'm dating Charles. I'm in love with Charles. You know what that means? You can't do that."

Ooh, Lislit begins to cry with her ears bent.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you don't cry. You thought I'd be okay with this?

I knew you were unscrewing this guy's head.

"Wow."

"Hey, don't cry. You sound like I'm the bad guy. Don't you dare go into more detail. I can't run off, but I'll figure something out."

"Uh-huh, is that true...? Guzz."

"Oh, don't you dare wipe your face, then talk"

Release the towel and give it to the throwing list.

After Lislit stops crying and calms down, he starts listening again.

"I have one code in the village. He who loses the duel obeys what the winner says. My father is the greatest chief in the village, and I am the daughter. I mean, the person who married me can be the later chief. Before I was born, my father lost to the strongest warrior in the village. The man is a violent and savage man, but in the village code, my father had to obey him."

"So you and I became fiancées? Is he an asshole? If you want to be a chief, you can tell him to give up his seat..."

I would. That's more certain, and most importantly, I can marry the person I like.

"The chief is determined by the code to be a man of our lineage."

"I see... so you ran away because you didn't want to marry him. But he said he's in trouble because he's about to be brought back."

"Yes."

I get what you're talking about, but you're medium heavy.

Is it like a political marriage?

"Who wants your father to work hard and play that guy again?

"One duel and one code per contest."

That's right. If you can try as many times as you want, you won't end up fighting over it.

"Can't you just...? It's still weak."

"I'm a lot stronger than I used to be." But I can't. Only a man can fight. "

A society of inferiority to men and women?

Gender equality is provided for by law in Japan, but it seems different in this world.

But there are many women like Dr. Linary and Sister Shara who are advancing into society. Maybe the village of Lislit looks special.

"... Lislit, what are you going to be in the future? You're going back to the village?

"I absolutely don't like it." When I get back to that village, one day I can marry someone I absolutely don't even like! So I'm going to be an adventurer and run away from that village!

Were you trying to be an adventurer to escape political marriage?

Well, people have their own reasons to be.

"That means we just have to be in Wang Capital for three more years. All right, then we don't need to solve this problem. So we just have to postpone it."

"Yes! Think of something amazing."

"Think about it for a second, too, you wanker."

You're overmanned. Don't you have the temper to think for yourself more?

Ha, the other junior is excellent when you try this. I want you to think for yourself and apprentice Lycood, who came to talk to me after I was really unsure what to do.

While I sighed at my inner foolish junior, I thought of a solution with a heavy head.

"To postpone the next three years is tough for the other person to suspect. In other words, we must think of excuses not to be suspected and not to be brought back to the village."

"Yes."

"All right, let's do this. Write a love letter to that man."

"Ha ⁉ I don't like it. What would that do? ⁉"

"Look, listen carefully. He's trying to bring you back because he's afraid you won't come back to the village when you graduate. You just need to get rid of that worry."

If you reassure him that you're in love with me with this guy in a love letter, the guy catches the wheel because he's simple.

He's like a brain muscle if you ask. Definitely going to get caught.

"Hey I see...... but if you like writing love letters so much, it doesn't make you feel like you're coming back?

"It won't. I wish I could write something like," I want to come to you as a more perfect wife. "

"That's right, Senior Ray. There's no one left to the right because of his mastery."

"You're dis, aren't you? Hey."

Lislit to compliment only sounds disgusting. When I turn my sharp gaze, Rislit shows a full and fast lateral swing and hastily denies it.

"Later, write 'If you feel lonely while I'm gone, use this,' and send your pants with you, too," to give you credit.

"Wow, I don't like it."

"You want to run, don't you? Then bear with me. Hopefully, they won't pull the trigger and disengage us."

Maneuvers always make no sense unless they are rigged multiple times. That's the first time you can call it an operation.

"Even if that's what you appropriately bought?

"Asshole. The Beast Man has a good nose. If you do that, you'll find out. Take it off properly and send a hoya hoya."

"Ugh..."

Lislite that distorts your face disgustingly. Look at her like that, I'm sure I can do this.

"Later, yeah. Kiss mark the letter. It's a classic for love letters. All right, I'm worried I'll let you write it, so just make a round copy of what I wrote."

"Awesome anxiety...... Me, am I going to be treated like a pervert in the village?

"I'm going to. If you're not going home anyway, okay?

I didn't hear Lislit say she didn't like perverts, and I started writing letters when I took the pen.

"Dear Dear Sir,

I read your letter of return to the village. Every day I spend sleepless nights in bed without the letters you wrote about me. Ha ha.

I am still wet today because of the delusions that ravage me, humiliated by you on the bed every day and reluctant. Ha ha.

I want to go back soon.

Yes, I think every day.

However, I cannot accept to leave Royal College and return, where I have begun to acquire the necessary skills as your wife.

That's how I don't like it. Every day I get excited about situations that force me back and put me together. Ha ha.

"Stop it, I still want to learn here."

"Shut up, dude. All you need to learn is how to act with me."

and be taken away without asking my opinion or anything, and live as your sex slave for the rest of your life. What a great situation. Ha ha.

I'll wait, Hart.

Last but not least, I'll enclose my pants. I need you to use this on a lonely night.

I'll be back in three years after buying a PS whip and rope.

I put my brush down and said something.

"Perfect."

"What's not just a pervert?"

Please don't. I'm going to cry and demand a redo. Lislit. But there's no way I can redo the force I wrote until I purposefully put up with sleepy.

It's a letter created by the mysterious tension of sleep deprivation. I can't write anything more.

"I'm fine. Now if you're gonna pick me up, this guy's a pretty pervert, too."

"That's not all right at all, is it? ⁉ In the worst case scenario, the other person and I are both perverts. ⁉"

"When that happens, perverts get along with each other."

"I'm normal."

Oh, come on. I wrote down a complaining list and forcefully kicked him out of the room to send it.

No more limits. Now it's time to go to sleep.

I thought so. The moment I tried to get into bed, the door knocked once again.

I moved the bed, the door, the gaze alternately, and then opened the door when I sighed a long time ha-ha.

"Ah, Ray. I knew you were home. Ray carried me?

"Oh."

It was Charstena who came. He's the hardest person to tell to go home now.

I didn't mean to say that to Charstena...

"It's a day off, isn't it? So, uh, let's... date!

Charstena modded shyly for a moment and said it out, but she looked up and invited me on a date.

Of course the answer to such a cute invitation to her is decided.

"Oh. Let's go"

"Yeah!"

That's how my day still doesn't seem to rest.

You're an idiot, me...

When it comes to dating in this city, there's only the arena or the boulevard. I remember it was an arena date before, and I decided to go to the boulevard today.

Compared to Wangdu's boulevard, this city's boulevard has many shops for people who come for sightseeing.

In a way, the two of us, who are also tourists, actively searched the shops.

Speaking of which, you didn't buy a souvenir, so you picked up some dizziness and bought it. Charstena didn't buy anything, but she bought sweets at the store where she stopped for a break on the way and the two of us ate.

I almost lost my drowsiness a few times in the meantime, but stomped in the mood.

So the two of us sat on a bench in a park-like position through the boulevard.

"Ray, you were buying a lot. Who are you giving it to?

"Alcohol is for everyone in the guild, and later sweets are a souvenir for the rest of the college and the family."

"You're still amazing at how you spend your money... you're gonna lose it, aren't you?

"You're not going away, this is it."

Big money comes in when you're playing rough and you're running out. There's too much money. I'm used to this situation. Despite the considerable decrease in school trips, savings are steadily increasing.

I guess this is what happens because I normally make money as an adventurer, even though it doesn't decrease in my normal life.

"Huh."

"You look sleepy, Ray. Haven't you slept for a while?

"Well, there's so much going on."

"Not if you can't, can you? I haven't healed my injury yet."

"I know, but only at times like this, we all bring stories we can't help but say no to."

"Is that me too? I'm sorry, Ray."

"No, no, it's not about Char. You're mostly lykud and lislit."

I panicked and denied it.

No. I'm not turning my head.

"What was the story?

"Well, that was a trouble-telling consultation for both of us"

I was duly deluded that it would not be good to tell people extra lightly.

I think so. The two said they would be adventurers after graduating from Royal College. What about Charstena?

I never asked her what she would do in the future. Will it stay in Wang Du?

Somehow I thought Charstena would come about with me, but I need to hear it right.

Depending on the answer, it's going to be a long-distance relationship.

"What will Charles do when he graduates? I'm gonna be an adventurer and go around the world but... what's Charles gonna do?

"Me? It's been decided for a long time. Follow Ray. 'Cause I don't want to leave Ray."

That's what Charles has said and kissed me. It seems to be coming sweet. I feel relieved, but I respond to it.

Good. You don't have to leave Charstena.

So relieved. In such relief, I fell asleep unconsciously in front of Charstena.

Someone was watching Ray and Charstena snooze in the park, killing signs. The look on his face watching the two of them in silence was serious, but it also shows somewhere sad.

"Asshole."

That's right. If you squeal to make a fool of yourself, you slowly follow the scene. All that was left was the fallen golden hair and the scent of fine perfume.
