I Aim to Be an Adventurer with the Jobclass of “Jobless”

First Holiday ⑥ Shadow of the Enemy

The nun (Sister) Yumina completed Rafi's treatment in a short time.

He said Rafi's injury was minor enough to have abrasions and minor burns, although Nelfa's restorative medication, which he had taken beforehand, might be working.

"I don't think this is a problem if you take a day off today"

"Yes, nun (Sister) Yumina. Thank you!

"No, to Eupitel our God, if we are to be thankful.

... By the way, is Zilong there some sort of user demon?

A gaze full of the Virgin's mercy was transferred to the bed next door.

"Zilong...?

As you follow Yumina's gaze, Rafi also looks at the bed next door,

"... Huh!?

Rafi turned his eyes round.

Apparently I hadn't noticed it before.

But I guess that's natural.

This Rabbit girl was asleep just now.

Rafi turned to me.

What does this mean? and the girl had red eyes complaining,

"Yeah, yeah... that's the place"

Rafi told me to fix it.

Sail didn't say anything, but he was stiffening his expression.

With Kozette holding Zilong in her eyes in the woods, she seems less upset than Rafi.

"Was it bad for the demon to use the bed?

"Anyway, if anyone has a user, I don't mind if they don't.

However many children, I am surprised that there are students who can use dragons as demons. "

I've never been a user demon, but to have a user demon is a choice between making a direct contract with the demon or animal you want to serve, or using some kind of catalyst to force the user to serve by summoning the demon.

The former needs to be recognised by demons and animals in some way, and the compatibility of the contractor with the user demon also has to do with whether or not a contract can be concluded.

The latter can be used compulsively, but the amount of magic a surgeon has to do with using a powerful user demon.

It's the same in that you can have a user demon in either way, but the situation is different.

When you become a Dragon Nation, you cannot use it as a demon unless you possess a considerable amount of magic.

I think that's why Yumina was surprised.

Shortly after such a talk.

Concon - and the sound of knocking on the door and.

"I'm coming in."

I heard it through the door - the rattle and the door opened.

It was Larnia and Kozet who came into the infirmary.

"Sister, are you done with your treatment already?

"Yes, because fortunately it was a minor injury"

Yumina tells him how Rafi is.

"There were some Lania instructors out there, and I'm going back to church once, right?

Mr. Rafi, if you don't seem to be feeling well, don't hesitate to ask. "

"Yes.

Thank you, Sister. "

That being said, the Virgin of the Church left the infirmary after a light meeting.

"If it's no big deal, it's above all, but are you sure you're okay?

Our instructor in charge sees Rafi lying in bed.

"Yes.

I kind of feel lighter than before I went out "

As proof of that, Rafi woke his body out of bed.

I don't seem to feel any pain anymore.

Would it still be the effect of Nelfa's restorative medication?

If you get a chance, ask what you're formulating.

"... then fine.

But if you're not feeling well, don't hesitate to tell me. "

"Yes."

The Rabbit girl nodded honestly to Larnia, who showed her rare and worried appearance.

Then, Larnia lowered her back to a chair that was nearby,

"Can I talk to you for a second?

We agreed with Larnia, who looked around at the faces of those who were here.

"I heard some talk from Cozette.

But I've never heard or seen a report of a big tree hole in the back of that forest before. "

"Isn't it surprisingly appropriate to manage the college?

I don't know who manages it.

But it wouldn't be hard for Sail to say that either.

"I can't help but think so.

In fact... if you look at the Wind Dragon kid sleeping there, you'll know what you're talking about. "

Looking at Zilong, Larnia said.

"There were no demons (monsters) or even signs of animals in those woods"

"And signs of animals?

You answered my question, Larnia.

But that look is rude.

Do you have something to think about?

"... I didn't see any monsters other than Basilisk and Cocatrice.

Isn't that right, werewolf?

"Whoa, those two suddenly felt signs, too."

Rafi and Sail said.

Yes, there was definitely no sign of the monster.

That's why I put the two of you on standby and went after Cozette.

"Something's wrong with having such a monster.

The only thing that would have come out of this neighborhood is a junior monster. "

That's what everyone here thinks.

Why did such a monster appear on that spot?

Besides, it wasn't just Basilisk or Cocatris who engaged.

"Me and Kozette engaged demons (monsters) summoned by the Demon Square.

It was a demon (monster) I'd never seen. "

"Ko, this kid, Pull found the room behind the big tree hole.

There she is... and when I reached out to help her, the demon squares suddenly reacted. "

Cozette explains the situation then.

It doesn't look like a door at first sight, the existence of a hidden room.

The magic formations depicted in it reacted as soon as they tried to help the dragon child.

That was like a trap (trap) set by those who tried to take that dragon away.

"... I see what's going on"

Larnia, listening to us, slowly opened her mouth after reflection.

"Whatever you think about this, it's artificial."

It would be natural to assume that people's hands are in it.

No magic formation can be done naturally.

There was a demon (monster) that wasn't supposed to be there.

It's hard to believe that these things happened naturally.

"Does anyone have a target for the college?

That's what I heard, Rafi.

But it would be natural to think so.

"... it's possible."

"If so, why are we being targeted?

If you want to do damage to the college,

Shouldn't we send the demon (monster) directly to the college?

Sail's opinion is the best.

If you're after the college, you can say that there's little point in targeting us as students.

"Of course, we can't be sure yet.

That's why we now proceed with the investigation "

Just thinking here just raises questions.

"Investigate? Are we headed to that forest?

"Yeah, I'd also like to retrieve the bodies of the demons (monsters) that were defeated,

I'd also like to confirm the magic formation behind the Great Tree Hole.

You might find some enemy tips. "

If I could afford a little more, I would have proceeded with the investigation with all the rest of it there.

I couldn't afford it then.

"Larnia, can I come with you?

It could still be dangerous.

If it was Larnia's strength, there would be no problem, but he would never have crossed it with a lot of fighting power. That's what I suggested.

"You're my student, too, aren't you?

How strong you are, you can't take students to places where they are in danger. "

Rejected.

Relying on a student may be a position or a muzzle.

"Just in case, I'll take one of the instructors. He was running the woods last week."

I hear the college manages the area, including the premises.

"Do college instructors manage the neighborhood?

Yeah, on a weekly basis.

I manage on a shift basis, but who hasn't noticed that big tree hole as one before? Is that possible?

Could it possibly be that the hole in the tree itself, something that we've been able to do lately?

Or did you know and hide it?

"There's a possibility of an inside human offense, isn't there?

"... Yep. In fact, as soon as the outsiders get into the college's administrative area, they'll know.

If you're not familiar with the management structure of this college, there's no way you can do what you want. "

"Isn't it possible that the culprit in this case could be among the instructors?

If so, do you think it would be dangerous for me to act with the other instructors?

"It would be easier if you attacked me.

You can beat him down and interrogate him.

I don't think they're stupid, either. "

Our teacher doesn't even seem to think he's going to lose.

It's not strange to be perceived by her chronic heart, but I guess her strength, supported by her track record of survival so far as an adventurer, is connected to her confidence.

"After I report it to the Dean of the Academy, I'll be on my way to investigate.

Go home and rest your bodies. "

That's what I told her, and Larnia stood up.

I thought I was leaving the room, but I kept my gaze close to Zilong's sleeping bed.

A nervous faceted semi-forest (half-elf) girl swallows solitude.

"... I'll leave this dragon to the Dean of the Academy"

Say, Larnia, who reached out to the sleeping dragon,

"Ma, wait!

Cozette stopped with a strong tone.

"Ko, what happens to this child when you treat him?

"So I'll leave that to the Dean of the College."

"Well, does that mean it could also kill the worst?

"It would be possible."

The half-forested (half-elf) girl was breathtaking in the words of Larnia, who answered instantly without any hesitation.

I can't help but lie.

"... but this kid didn't do anything wrong."

"It could be.

But if this is an artificial one, the enemy might come back for this dragon.

If that puts the entire college in danger, can you take responsibility?

"... it's..."

Cramped in response, Kozette lay down her face.

"I'm not going to blame you for bringing this dragon.

I'm pretty sure the enemy was going to set something up against the Academy to help this dragon.

In fact, if you hadn't answered the request (quest), it would have been slower to notice the presence of the enemy.

So your behavior is a consequence of that.

However, it is the duty of the person responsible to take risk-minded action on it "

Lania discusses cozette pale in descriptive tone.

But Cozette doesn't seem convinced.

"... but isn't that so?

This kid was calling me for help!

I've been waiting all this time for someone to help me.

Yet... I can't believe we killed it at our convenience "

I have tears in my eyes.

Cozette is going to cry now.

"... can you use this dragon to attract enemies?

If you remove the factors of danger, you don't have to kill this dragon.

"Right.

Depending on how you use it, you might be able to sweep away dangerous molecules.

But it's the head of this college, the dean, who decides that. "

"... will the College Director choose to kill this child?

"I can't be clear.

But just be prepared. "

"Well, then! I'll follow you to the Dean's Office!

Are you going to try to convince the Dean of the Academy yourself?

But Kozette's intentions seem solid.

"... if you want to follow me, do it yourself.

But I don't know if you're here, but the results of the Dean are the same.

Nor did Larnia try to stop it.

But I guess the option of abandoning the dragon child as it is is is not in the cozette.

Then,

"Let's go, too. I'm the one who helped him.

I'm responsible too. "

"Senior Mars......"

Cozette bowed her head looking sorry.

I have nothing to apologize for.

In fact, it was my intention to help.

"If Mr. Mars is going, so is Rafi."

"I'm coming too. It's hard to say goodbye here."

Looks like they've both decided to accompany us.

"Gentlemen... excuse me..."

After the apology, Kozette approaches the bed and reaches out to hold Zilong.

"......"

A small voice like air leaked.

Cozette seemed surprised by something.

The gaze is directed at the dragon child.

"... cu"

When I thought I heard such a chirp, the sleeping dragon child woke up and slowly woke up.

The wind dragon child stares at the half-forested (half-elf) girl with those green eyes.

And

"Cu."

Zilong was rubbing his face against Kozette's outstretched hand.

"Ah..."

Cozette with eyes open.

"I say thank you."

Dragon words I don't understand.

But the dragon boy turned to us and said, "Cu!" He rang.

He seemed really grateful to us.

"You're adorable"

Rafi said.

If you look at it this way, it doesn't engage with small animals.

"Yes...... And he seems like a good kid."

When Cozette stroked the dragon's head, she narrowed her eyes to feel good.

It doesn't seem to do any harm to people.

Larnia, who was stationary about how it was,

"... I'm coming."

After the patrol, he turned his back towards the door.

"Yes. Come with me."

Cozette talking to the dragon.

Then, as he reacted to the word, he feathered his patties and wings.

"Can you move now?

"Cucumber!"

I replied with a cheerful ringing and rubbed my own head against the cheeks of a half-moorish (half-elf) girl.

Looks like Cozette's been liked a lot.

"I'm gonna leave you, okay?

I heard Larnia rushing, and the five of us and the two of us headed to the dean's office.
