Graduated from Witchcraft Institute

Return to the Inn.

As I walked down the night lane lit by magical street lights, I met an unexpected person along the way.

"Ya, Will. Have you finished talking to your parents?

"... Eileen. Why are you here?"

Under the stars of the night, waiting for me on the side of the road was, I wonder, the princess of this country.

It may not be appropriate for her, one of the best swordsmen in the country, to be careless without an escort.

Even so, this is the middle of the night.

What are you thinking, such as a girl of your age standing alone on a night lane?

Irene, who often appeared at the end of my hand, stood in the middle of the road and smiled and flashed at me.

"I heard Will was going to talk to your parents tonight. I'm worried about the results, and I'm getting out of the castle."

"... you're still free. I don't think it's the footwork of a princess of a country."

"Is that a compliment?

"No, this time it's bitter."

"Huh. Well, no."

As I pass next to Eileen, she follows me too.

A night lane for two.

Reminds me of my childhood.

Only then, it was always Eileen walking in front.

And now, from behind me, Eileen asks.

"How was your talk with your parents?

"Well, what do you say? I think it turned out the best I could hope for."

"Really? Good. So you made up with Mr. James, too?

"Reconciliation, it sounds like a child's quarrel when they say, but I don't blame you. Right, I think the relationship that was broken has been repaired to the form it should be"

"Yes. That was really good"

Reconciliation - Speaking of which, I recall that my mother Felicia used the same word.

From their point of view, maybe that's what we were talking about.

Then for a while, me and Irene walked silently down the night lane.

It wasn't that far to the inn, and Eileen ended up following him that far.

Around the time we reach the inn, Irene calls out again.

"Hey, Will.... Me too, can I follow you?

"Are you following me all the way inside the inn?

"Uh... well, that's the thing for now"

…… I don't care. "

While questioning subtly badly toothed replies, I knock on the inn door.

Eileen followed.

When you knock on the door, it's a busy mass tavern.

This inn also leaks very little, with the structure of a tavern and lodging on the ground and second floors.

In the tavern, there was more and more noise at the tables everywhere, and it made its prosperity disappoint.

"Oh, Will, welcome home! Princess, over here, too!

From the edge of the tavern, one of the tables, a slightly red-handed satsuki calls us up.

At that table, naturally, there was also Mi and Cyril, drinking together.

But you don't seem surprised that Eileen is with you...

Was it through the conversation beforehand?

I'm going with Irene to the table where they are.

On a round table for four, Cyril brought one chair from nearby to create a seat for five.

"Welcome back, hero!

"'Cause you're next door, aren't you Princess Irene?

"Oh, come on, what's this about?"

A voice rises from all over the tavern, and at the same time the gaze of the entire tavern draws our attention.

Eventually, when Eileen and I took seats with the satsuki, our table became the object of curiosity throughout the tavern.

The title Hero.

When one man was surrounded by four beautiful girls, and even among them the princess of this country.

It's weirder that they don't pay attention.

I mean, it's inevitable, but... honestly, it's uncomfortable.

"What do you say, William? Everybody knows how it feels to be a hero."

Cyril laughs when she dulls, teasing me.

She also seemed to be drunk in a good way and had a little redness on her cheeks.

"... No, this won't be the same. It's more a gift of performance than my strength."

"I don't get it. Even the great heroes known to the world may have been celebrated in this way."

"Well... that's possible"

That's not what the hero statue I admire.

Such childish thoughts come out of my chest, but this could be my childishness.

"Well, you don't care about heroes or anything. Will is Will."

"It is. William and the others are here, so I'm going to have another drink."

That's what Satsuki and Mi say and order extra booze and knobs from the waitress.

I behaved a little overwhelmingly because I made a lot of money on this quest as well.

... but in this atmosphere, it's hard to say what I was going to tell the satsuki guys.

I think it would be another opportunity, etc., but I can easily imagine a future when I do it that I can't say it will slip anywhere.

Don't be sweet about the atmosphere.

If I miss this opportunity right now, I'm gonna be a man who can't say what I have to say-- I feel that way.

I'm ready.

One, take a deep breath.

"Satsuki, Mi, Cyril... I need to tell you something."

When I say that in a serious voice, the three girls say, "Hmm?" He snapped his neck.

The air in the field is inappropriate.

It wasn't something that had mood or snag.

I hear that women are very important to the mood.

Thinking about it, I still get lost that maybe it should be another opportunity.

But... stay.

I cut off my strays and said to three fellow adventurers.

"Satsuki, Mi, Cyril. I like you guys. I love you. So... please keep it up."

When I said that, the three of them hardened to pieces.

Cocatrice's gaze, as if it had also been petrified.

Next to me, Irene had her hand on her forehead as she said, "Ahhh..."

And after a little while...

"" "--Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!?" "

The screams of the three girls echoed throughout the tavern.

- Later, I said to them, "It's impossible to propose a threesome, right?" or "Anything at all. In a tavern like that. And in public" or "But I can't help it because it's William," that's what I'm going to be (...) acquainted with for the rest of my life.

It's also my...

No, I felt that maybe it wasn't bad to think it was one of our stories.

Is it so weird that I'm starting an adventurer when I graduate from the School of Magic?

If you were going to tell me what I was thinking at the time like that, here's the deal.

Do you mind if they say it's strange?

Do whatever you want.

Because this is... this is my life, where I set my course and I walk.
