Head up the stairs with Larnia.

The Dean's Office is on the tenth floor.

This will be my second visit since my entrance exam.

It's quieter than usual in college because of the holidays.

I heard cuttlefish and footsteps up the stairs a lot.

"What does the Dean's Office look like?

Rafi walking behind me said that.

"Has Rafi never been in the Dean's Office?

"I haven't had a chance to meet with the Dean before entering the Dean's Office."

You're absolutely right.

Because classes are conducted by instructors, there is little need to meet the Dean himself.

What does that grandfather usually do?

"You must have seen me once, too.

How about Sail and Cozette?

You move only your neck as you walk, and you talk to the two people who walk behind you.

"Me, too.

In the first place, there's no reason to see the Dean of the Academy. "

"Wow, so am I.

If I insist, is it about the time of the admission ceremony?

(Admission ceremony……)

I don't know exactly what it is because I've never been through it, but I guess it's what students do when they enroll in college.

I wanted to go through this once or so, but being an integration student doesn't seem to get that chance anymore.

"When something happens, the Dean of the Academy is in attendance."

Rafi said to answer Cozette's words.

Unless it is a special event, will the Dean not appear on the table?

As much as I represent the Adventurer Development Agency, I guess I live a busy life every day.

But when you think about it, is it okay for you to suddenly show your face?

Actually, I wasn't in the room. I hope that doesn't happen......

With all that anxiety on my part, Larnia goes up the stairs without looking like she cared at all.

At least if Larnia knows more about the Dean than I do, she'll definitely think she's in the room.

Go up the long stairs and arrive on the tenth floor.

We stopped in front of the door that leads to the dean's office.

but there was a clear discomfort in that door.

The look of this door, which I haven't seen in days, is clearly not what it used to be.

Is this the college director's hobby?

Not that it's evidence, but Larnia doesn't look particularly surprised.

I guess Larnia herself has been subjected to these accidents over and over because that grandfather seems to like playing on the back of his back for what looks strict.

"Why, would it be okay for all of us to come in?

Are you nervous, Kozette's expression was stiff.

"If I can't, I haven't brought you all this far.

I'm not the kind of person who cares about details like that.

Even if Mars is talkative, he's laughing. "

Bitter laughing Larnia.

He seems to be talking about the time of the entrance exam.

"It's a boulder, Mr. Mars!

I can't believe you can treat one of the heroes who saved the continent with dignity!

Rafi looks intoxicating at me just because I can't salute her.

"Mars wouldn't be uncomfortable talking to the Dean of the Academy."

Sayle said that.

I guess I just don't feel uncomfortable because I've never seen you talking in reverence.

"So, but... and I need to be rude.

I need you to forgive me for this child... "

The girl from Half Forest Man (Half Elf) saw a dragon child flying with a patter.

Still for the most part, I felt enough willingness to help this dragon.

"It's time to go in, huh?

Lania looked around at the faces of all of us.

Everyone shuts their mouths.

I guess that took it as a ready signal.

Concon - and knocked on the door twice.

"It's Larnia.

May I have a moment, please?

Silence.

Nothing's responding.

When I used to come, the door opened on its own, but there's no sign of it opening today.

"That's crazy..."

The red-haired instructor tilted his neck.

"Aren't you out?

"If you hadn't even gone out of college, the Dean would have heard you."

What's this all about? I didn't say.

That dean is a real wizard.

No wonder I did what I did.

"Then why aren't you responding?

"Has something unforeseen happened?

Or... "

I'm not trying to say anything beyond that.

But the look on Larnia's face doesn't weigh.

He didn't seem to worry about the college director at all.

"... I'm coming in."

Larnia held the door handle.

I guess I thought it was an emergency.

Turning the knob, the door opened without difficulty.

As if I hadn't deliberately locked it.

It's like you're inviting us.

Look at the end of the door.

"... yeah"

It was Cozette who leaked his disappearing voice.

But maybe it's just splendid you didn't scream.

At the end of the door, the director of the college, stained with blood on the floor of the room, fell and fell.

"... what the hell?

Without disturbance, Rafi was looking around the room.

Sayle is keeping an eye on the dean of the college.

The response was different and the three seemed to be less upset.

In the meantime, Larnia walked into the room slightly and looked down at the Dean of the College with contempt.

"Dean, can you stop playing with crap sometimes that this one is fucking busy?

……

No reply.

"Really, I told you to hang out with all this crap.

If you don't stop playing games in five seconds, you'll be ashed to death in this room. "

The proclamation of death by the Red Reaper began.

"Five... four... three... two..."

At the same time as the last second,

"I.…"

I turned my right hand to the Dean of the College, who falls on his back, Larnia.

That's when - the dean's body disappeared,

"Boring."

As the words put it, my grandfather, who looked so bored from the bottom of his heart, was sitting back in his chair in the back of the room.

The garment, which was dyed red, had turned into a beautiful one, not stained one wrinkle at a time.

"Do you hang out with old people playing?

Mouthfeel and expression seemed very dissatisfied.

To such a grandfather,

"Dean, if you're going to do something like this next time,

I'm gonna stop being the instructor here, right?

My mouth was laughing, but my eyes weren't laughing.

Apparently, they're quite out of bees.

But the Dean didn't even move into that Reaper's wrath.

"Isn't that just a joke"

Huh, smile.

"Okay, let's talk.

Even so, I know what's going on. "

I put my elbows on my desk and put my fingers together.

Suddenly he looked serious, but the three students except me were stunned.

I can't seem to follow this flow at all.

"... but the Dean of the College was a deceased (undead)...?

Seriously frightening cozette.

"Ha ha!

Instructor Larnia wants you to react so cutely. "

In contrast to such a delightful look on the part of the College Director, Larnia held her head.

I don't usually show weakness or anything, but I guess that's why you're struggling. Our instructor.

"Don't worry.

I am not a ghost (undead). "

Hearing the dean's words, Cotto stroked his chest down to see if he was relieved.

But there is still a color of vigilance in its eyes.

"Don't be so frightened.

I'm done with the jokes.

Let's get down to business, but you're here to talk about that dragon, right?

Satisfied or tired of playing, the College Director turned a sharp eye to Zilong, who was flying with a patter by the cozette.

That alone felt the ambient air tighten.

In particular, Cozette points to the Dean of the College with a serious look that frightened him until earlier.

"... As you already know, these four men requested (Quest) to head to a forest near the College, where Mars and Cozette here said they discovered a big tree hole in the back of the forest"

Larnia explained what was reported by us to the Dean of the Academy.

After listening to the whole story, the College Director opened his mouth.

"... who was managing a college suburb last week?

"I'm Instructor Reflex."

Instructor Rifle?

That's a name I've never heard of.

Maybe there are a lot of instructors in this college I haven't met yet.

"Then instructor Larnia will take instructor Rifle to investigate the suburbs of the College.

In the unlikely event that Instructor Reflect behaves suspiciously, capture him, and if that seems difficult, destroy him. "

Copy that, sir.

As the earlier joke exchange was a lie, Larnia followed the instructions of the Dean of the College.

Apparently, the Dean of the College thinks whoever managed the college suburbs last week is the mastermind in this case.

Then he glanced at us.

"Can I take care of this Wind Dragon thing?

"You were going to do that more than you did, weren't you?

That's all I heard, our instructor glanced at us and then left the Dean's office.

"Well, the treatment of the dragon there..."

The Dean of the College meditated his eyes as he pondered.

Kozette makes her face tense to tension, while

"Oh, please!

Please, help this child!

I didn't do anything wrong!

The hearty girl bowed her head diligently.

I want to manage to save this little life.

I guess it's that one heart.

"What am I mistaken for?

I'm not going to kill that dragon, either, am I?

A dragon that survives in modern times - its existence would be invaluable if it were also a child dragon.

You can't possibly kill such a precious life.

As much as I'd like to watch it grow if it's possible. "

to the College Director's words. Cozette looked up with tremendous momentum,

I kept my eyes open like I saw something incredible.

"Ho, that's true!?

"I don't throw up lies that make my students sad.

But it doesn't matter if you leave it there. "

That would be natural.

We had a big trap (trap) like that magic formation, which means that there were people in trouble for taking this dragon away.

Naturally, this dragon will be important to them.

When the enemy is likely to be an associate of the College, he may have already made a leap to know and regain the survival of the dragon.

Life in college, for example, is at stake.

"So, what happens to this kid?

A half-moorish (half-elf) girl asked sincerely.

"I will keep the Wind Dragon child until this case is cleared."

The Dean made such a suggestion.

Is that a reasonable place?

This dragon is not safe if it's under the dean of the Academy, but it doesn't seem to be able to attract the enemy.

"Or how about we keep them in a room sealed to attract our enemies?

If this dragon plays an important role for the enemy, he will definitely try to take it back. "

In short, you mean to use it for bait that lures out enemies.

If we're just going to process the dangerous molecules, it won't be a bad choice.

"When that happens, will this child be left alone?

"Don't do that for the majority of the day.

But that's not until we've captured the enemy. "

College director to affirm without getting lost.

Kozette doesn't seem comfortable with that.

"Cu......"

The dragon child rang anxiously.

"What are you saying?

"... sorry. I'm saying.

He thinks he's causing trouble. "

Dragons (dragons) are said to be far more intelligent than people.

In the history of this continent, even the king of all things was said to be a species called the Dragon.

Maybe he understands people's language.

"You've been missed a long time."

The Dean of the Academy said that as he stroked his beard, which had been nicely cut together.

In the hours we met, maybe we wondered that Kozette and the dragon child were letting their hearts go through.

"If you say you don't want this child dragon to feel lonely, I will still keep it.

Instead, you can always come see me in this dean's office, okay?

"... is that true?

"Mm-hmm. Even for this dragon, that would be better.

This dragon could be your demon one day. "

Such a proposal by the Dean of the College would have been a pleasant one for one and one.

Kozette and Zilong looked at each other and smiled.

"You don't have to be a demon to use it.

As long as I am friends with this child... "

"I see.

If that's the path you choose for yourselves, that's fine. "

The magnificent old man nodded satisfactorily in reply to the girl from the half forest man (half elf).

Cosette stroked the head of the dragon child to spare her goodbye,

"Dear College Director, thank you for this child."

"Uhm, let's keep it responsibly"

Looks like we've managed to decide on a temporary (when) goodbye.

Now we have a story.

Where the treatment of Zilong has been decided,

"And let me apologize for putting you and your students in danger because of our lack of clarity.

I will find out who put you in danger.

And let's at least show some good faith by imposing sanctions. "

At the end of the day, the Dean behaves like the person in charge.

And we left the dean's office.

The girl from Hansen (Half Elf) waved at Zilong until the door closed, and Zilong had a lonely look on her face.

After the door closed, Cozette stood up on the spot for a while.

I'll see you soon.

"... Yes"

The girl nodded small and went down the stairs with us.

Cozette said that dragon was a friend.

One with one whose race or appearance is as if it were different and who would even have difficulty communicating with the will if it were inherent.

Normally, you wouldn't even think about being friends or anything.

But that breakup really seemed like a waste of goodbye to my friends, and the sight somehow became something strange in my mind.
