Sails and I broke up, and I was falling asleep in my room bed.

Think back to what Falt told you, wrapped in the feel of a soft bed.

Why do I need to be friends with Falt, but also with Alicia and Nenea?

What's so inconvenient about me being Falt's friend?

After all, are you still thinking about the possibility of fighting me?

What's Alicia going to do when I tell her I won't be in the student council?

Though I don't think there is any exercise of strength anymore.

Maybe Falt said he couldn't be friends with me because he couldn't get rid of that possibility.

Alicia, anyway, that short-tempered cat guy told me to be my friend, would he?

(... I guess you can't)

They seem to be rooting for today.

Being friends with that cat is too difficult.

In the first place, things have been going too well.

Neither did my master (Eine) tell me how to make friends.

I didn't think there would be a day to worry about this.

(... what's wrong)

I want to be friends with Falt.

But the conditions put out are harsh.

I hope there is some good way.

Even if you think about it, the answer doesn't seem to come right away.

(... go to sleep)

Tomorrow is a girl from Half Forest (Half Elf) - there is also a request (Quest) from Kozet.

Sure, we had lunch and it was a rally in front of the main entrance.

Let's just say we call Sail before we go.

That's all I thought about, I fell asleep.

The next day.

The bell rings the same as the holidays.

It's the same beginning as a weekday, but I don't have class today.

After breakfast, I started prepping.

Put on your uniform and wrap your robe from the top of your clothes.

It's from the day I came to this college, when Alicia mistakes me for a bandit (sheaf), but I'm wearing it from the top of my uniform, so it won't be a problem.

Just in case, let's keep the Demon Stone on hand.

After a while, the lunch bell rang.

"Mars, are you ready?

I heard Sail from across the door with Knock, and I opened the door.

"Ooh, Sail.

Are you ready for that, too?

As usual, a badly eyed werewolf (Wearwolf) was in front of him.

The outfit is in uniform.

Will this werewolf be all right when he says he's going into the woods?

"I said get ready, but you don't need any reclining gear, do you?

The college manages this neighborhood, so there are very few monsters. "

"Just in case, why don't you carry the Demon Stone or something?

"Aren't you all right? Don't you have to worry about that?

"Just in case."

Even when I came to this college on foot, I didn't encounter any demons (monsters) near here, but don't be more alert or chronic than going outside.

Because I don't know what kind of danger there is.

"... ok. Before you leave, you're going to eat, aren't you?

"Oh."

Sayle seemed troublesome, but once he went back to pick up the Demon Stone in his room.

Then we headed to the dining room.

Talking to Nerfa about going outside now with a request (quest),

"Now take this!

and has given me an elongated glass bottle containing red liquid.

Cork was attached to the mouth of the drink and the liquid inside was secured so that it could not be zeroed.

colorfully reminiscent of the restorative,

"This is Nelfa's special restorative medicine!

Because it also helps to restore health and condition abnormalities such as poison and paralysis!

Do you even do conditioning? This housekeeper (maid).

But it's strange that Nerfa could have done that.

"Thanks, Nerfa"

Me and Sail got the recovery pills and headed to the rendezvous point.

"Mars!

We saw Rafi waving through the main gate and we walked faster.

"Sorry, did I make you wait?

"No, I'm not waiting at all!

That's what Rafi laughed at.

Rafi today wraps around something like a robe to cover his entire body and hangs a small pochette from his shoulder.

Maybe he's putting some tools in it.

"Oh, uh, well, thank you for gathering for me today. Thank you for coming today."

Cozette lowered her head with a peck.

The expression is stiff.

Maybe he's still nervous.

Kozette wraps her robe around as does Rafi.

I carry a backpack on my back, but do I have the tools to collect the herbs?

"This is a werewolf, because you look terrified, isn't Mr. Cosette a bee!

"It's my fault!

Cozette was even more bewildered by the way the two were bewildered.

"... why don't we just go?

"Yes!"

"- Shit."

When I say, you two stop arguing.

"Thank you for today, gentlemen."

We headed out of college with a half-elf girl.

The college is surrounded by woods.

Even so, the road that leads to the town is cut open by people's hands, so there's nothing wrong with just going shopping to the town.

"This way, this way"

Herb's growing place (point), he said, was heard from a dwarf instructor - Smina Krott.

That instructor had tons of herbs in his pharmacy class, but maybe he was going to collect them himself.

We go into the woods with no human hands at all.

In the depressed woods, it's still dim to say it's daytime.

It seemed that the trees in the woods were refusing to let the light plug in.

The surroundings are surrounded by silence.

I didn't even feel any signs of animals in the woods.

"Speaking of which, Kozette was a half woodman (half elf)"

When I received this request (Quest), it was the first time I noticed it when the shopkeeper in Purchasing told me.

Until then, I always thought of her as an elf.

"Yes. I'm an elf for your mother and a human for your father."

See the back of the girl walking in front of me a little.

A twin tail tied to the left and right is blocking and shaking.

The ears were a little shorter than those of the Foresters (elves) and the tips were a little rounded.

A human (human) I can barely tell the difference from a forest man (elf) just by looking lightly.

Such a girl walks through the woods with unexpectedly firm steps.

Me and Sail don't have a problem, but Rafi was bringing a little.

Nor is Rafi the boulder trying to cling to me and walk here.

Because of the grass and muddy spots, it should be difficult to walk compared to the path where people's hands came in.

"You're used to traveling in the woods for a long time."

"Well, I think that's because I've been spending time in the woods near my house since I was a kid"

"In the woods? No way, were you even in special training?

It's not supposed to be the kind of place a kid would make a playground.

I mean, Kozette, like me, has been educating you about combat since childhood?

"Ku, training?

"Mars, you, you've been doing that since you were a kid?

"The boulder is Mr. Mars! I can't believe I haven't lacked training since I was a kid!

In reply to the Trinity,

"Sorry, nothing"

It's something I don't even need to hide, but I felt kind of embarrassed and peeled off.

When I closed my mouth, Cozette opened her mouth instead.

"Ever since I was a child, I have no friends...

Still, your father and mother stayed with me as long as they could.

I miss you so much, but when I went to the woods, the animals played with me. "

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that what I couldn't make friends with was that I was a half forest person (half elf).

Now it is not uncommon for other species to coexist with humans (humans), but most towns and villages have the highest number of humans (humans).

What happens when that happens?

If you're a discerning adult, you're still a different kid.

I could easily imagine being persecuted if we had a child who looked different from ourselves.

"But Kozette, if you suck at it, you're gonna get a monster, right?

You didn't consider the danger, even though it was because you were a child?

"The animals taught me.

Which route is dangerous and which route is safe "

Speaking of which, this half-forest (half-elf) girl was also exchanging words with her own pet hamster.

Maybe.

"I have the skills to talk to animals."

Is that still what happened?

"That's why Mr. Cozette understood that hamster's words."

Rafi walking behind me was also surprised.

"Yes, it was treasure-like skill (skill) for me to be alone and lonely"

I can't see his face, but Cozette's voice was playing.

I guess I was really happy.

"But didn't Mr. Cozette's parents worry?

"I didn't tell your father and mother that you were in the woods.

I was sneaking out of the house when they were working. "

Cozette, talking about that time, seemed like a lot of fun.

Interaction with the animals may have been like a treasure to her.

"Thanks to my friends in the woods, I did not have to feel lonely.

But my parents were always worried about me without friends. "

"No wonder your parents think so."

"I know that.

So I thought I'd get along with people, too.

I got nervous because I knew people... "

I was somewhat familiar with it.

"So Kozette doesn't have any friends?

"Mr. Mars! It's too straight!

Rafi rarely put a penetration into me.

But it's the same with me that I didn't have friends until recently.

"Yes. It was about Pull who was able to speak properly in this college..."

"No way, you're not being jerked off!?

To the worried Rafi,

"Yes. I'm a Class B, so if you're a Class A person and the hit is tight, it's not so bad that you can be jerked off."

I hear of meritocracy, but is there also discrimination against students with lower grades?

I didn't notice because I had little involvement with class B students.

"If there are any busy students, tell Rafi.

I'll punish you. "

I hear Rafi laughing "hehe" from behind.

My spine is freaking out and I don't feel disturbed.

But it's fresh somewhere to see Rafi baking his junior care.

Maybe it's natural because we're shallow together.

Maybe this is how you get to know the different sides a little bit at a time.

"It's okay.

Because I think the student council will reach out when it's too bad. "

I didn't think the name of the student council would come out of Kozette's mouth.

"I don't think that student council will do anything for you?

I haven't seen his face, but Rafi sounded suspicious in any way.

"That's not true.

Class B students of the year are helped considerably by the student council.

I was also helped by Chairman Alicia when I was attacked by a werewolf man.

Oh, su, excuse me! Because it's not something Senior Sail cares about... "

You reminded me that Sayle was a werewolf (Wearwolf), and the feeble girl excused herself in a hurry as she shrunk.

"... I don't care."

The werewolf voice I answered seemed a little depressed.

"... that woman did that"

Rafi shrugged unexpectedly.

Although it seems the student council's job to manage the minimum order.

Some students seem to be helped by that.

"I am a half-elf.

Chairman Alicia, the Forest Man (Elf), saved me without discrimination.

When I was in the village, I couldn't think. "

That must be for this semiforest (half elf) girl who has been routinely discriminated against,

Maybe it was a shocking thing.

We walked forward listening to Kozette like that.

Walking temporarily, a strong light plunged into the unseen woods into his sight.

"You smell kind of good!

Rafi said in a woken voice.

But I didn't know what it smelled like.

All I can feel is the mixed smell of trees and dirt.

"It only smells pretty tight, doesn't it?

to Sayle, who complains about Rafi's words,

"The wolf wasn't just his head, his nose was stupid, too!

I can't believe you don't know such a good smell. "

"What a fucking raven! Than the fucking nose of Temae and the other rabbits,

We werewolves have a far better sense of smell!

"Ku, fucking nose!? Did you just say Rafi's nose is a fucking nose!

A little feud between the wolves and the ravens began, and...

"Ah, there it is!

To Kozette's voice, we walked faster.

In the depressed woods, only this place had flowers blooming.

It's a natural flower garden with no hands on it.

There were no tree ceilings here, rain of light poured down and fantastically colored the beautiful flowers.

"All the flowers here are herbs that can be used for conditioning."

Cozette crouched down to pick the flowers quickly.

"Rafi will help, too.

Which flowers should I pile?

"Thank you.

So can I ask you to pick the herbs that are blooming red and purple?

Cut only the part of the flower for the red flower.

Purple flowers would help if they could be cut from the stems "

Say it. Kozette lowered her backpack and gave Rafi a knife for collection.

Following that instruction, Rafi also started picking herbs.

"Me and Sail are keeping an eye on the perimeter, so if you need anything, raise your voice immediately."

That said, there was no sign of any demons (monsters) so far.

On the contrary, strangely, there was not even any sign of a beast.

It's uncomfortable how much the college manages the forest around here, but there's no sign of a creature so far.

Looking around, thinking about that,

"Ah - hey, Pull, what's up!?

"Ko, Mr. Cosette!?

I heard a rushing cozette and a bewildered raffi.

Turning to her eyes, a half-forest (half-elf) girl who was supposed to have picked herbs gets up and runs behind the woods.

"Mars!"

Sayle screamed and turned to me.

"Sail and Rafi stay here while I go after them."

That's all I told him, and I got sick in the direction Cozette ran.
