Preliminary qualification for Magics Chevalier, a sorcery swordsman competition, is about to begin.

The rules are, of course, simple rules that say whether to scatter the roses on your chest or drop them off-site, just like the actual tournament.

Participant students use all of their early July afternoon time to play league games with a total win. Among them, the top six will be contestants in the Magics Chevalier tournament.

And we, the Steering Committee, are also supposed to be running an on-campus qualifier in the afternoon. That said, I don't have that much work right now, just to record the outcome of the game. Judgement of the game is done by a college teacher, so there's not much work yet.

Senior Serra was asked to explain that his biggest job was during the Magics Chevalier, a sorcery swordsman competition.

By the way, freshman year we are in charge of rookie warfare.

"Hey Ray..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"That... why did you join the Steering Committee?

While the two of us were getting ready in the exercise area, Clarice asked me that.

"Hmm... does Amelia know?

"It's not famous. Amelia-Rose, the eldest daughter of the Rose family headed by three nobles, right?

"That's right. She and I are close friends. I just said I wanted to join you because I wanted to help. And then purely, I was interested in the job of managing committee member. I've never been to a festival like this before. Honestly, my heart is dancing"

"... I'd like to get into a lot of things, but that rumor was true"

"Rumors?"

"Yep. Amelia-Rose said she's not with the nobles, she's with the Ordinary group."

"Rumor... well, you're probably right. I hear Amelia really hates the health of the nobles."

"With Doyuko?

"Nobility is bloodliness, isn't it?

"Oh... well, yeah. Sure, there might be a side to it."

Yeah, yeah, clarice nodding. Of course I won't stop the two of us working together. Even so, right now, I'm just walking around the practice area or cleaning.

"I don't like that."

"It is. That's unusual."

"Is Clarice different?

"Hmm? Well, I think pedigree matters... but there are other factors like effort and the environment, right? My father is a rare man among hard-working aristocrats, so naturally, I feel the same way."

"Hmmm...... your house still looks great. I'd like to talk to his father someday."

"... Huh!? You want to come to our house!?

"Hmm? Well, I didn't get a chance to go play at a friend's house. Summer break is actually in the middle of a lot of planning... hehe..."

"You're not what you think you are..."

"I wonder what that means"

"The average person, Ordinary, said that the actual battle was strong, he acted like an adult... and so on... but when I actually talked to him, he said that there were some surprisingly normal aspects..."

"I see. If that's what you appreciate, as long as you're happy"

That said, Clarice suddenly blushes and stares at me kickingly.

"BE, don't get me wrong hey!!? Oh, I like you... I don't know...!! Ah... but it's not like I hate you... ahh! Ha! In the meantime, don't get me wrong! Cleveland women are noble!!

"Oh, you should know that if you look closely at Clarice."

"Hmm......!

Pussy turns around, but I was concerned about something. I decided to ask thoughtfully, even though I would not mind asking...... just a little hesitation.

"How could Clarice join the Steering Committee? You're not joining us as athletes?

"... it's the..."

"Maybe you're not good in action?

"Beh, I'm not bad at anything... the..."

"If it's hard to say, there's nothing you can't do. I'm sorry I said something extra."

Keep your head down immediately. Apparently, the topic of this hand was not good. I still have to refine, too. That's how Clarice uttered her words.

"Ah......! BE, you don't have to apologize for anything...! Don't you laugh at that?

"Laugh? There's no way you're going to be rude like that. Whatever the reason, I'll take it from the front."

"I hope so..."

And she puts her hand on her chest and breathes deeply.

And you made up your mind, Clarice spins the answer to my question.

"That... I became a Steering Committee member because there was so much going on... but I don't participate as an athlete... than that... sorcery swordsman or something... I want to be a hunter in the future...!

"Hunter? Are you interested in environmental research?

"Ugh...... yeah! It is! But fewer female hunters, right? Besides, I know it's not what noble daughters do... and they generally say..."

……

When I heard that word, I was good at it. I do have a gold hunter's license, License. From me, I can understand the truth. Indeed, the population of hunter women would be small. Among them, the numbers are narrowed even further if they become those who earn their living from hunters alone.

Besides, if you look at the Department of Environmental Research at this college, there are no female employees. That's just a bunch of musculoskeletal men. That's all it shows that being a hunter is harsh.

That's the biological difference between men being better at health and women being inferior in terms of strength and muscle strength. Of course there are exceptions like my master... who, by the way, has a platinum hunter's license, License. Said I took it because I was free...

But I wouldn't disagree if Clarice wanted to be a hunter. In the end, human beings can only follow what they decide for themselves. Anyway, if someone else decides to, we have to move on.

"Clarice."

"Hey... what? Are you going to fool around too? I can't believe my noble daughter is such a... hunter... stupid..."

"Make a fool of yourself? There's no way. I know someone who makes me a woman and holds a platinum hunter's license. By the way, I'm a gold hunter and part of the Environmental Investigation Department of this college."

"Huh......!? Ho, is it true!!?

"Oh. I know a little bit about hunters. That's why I say, if you don't want to give up on that dream, keeping up the chase is another option. I will never deny it. In the first place, I'm from Ordinary. That's irrelevant."

"Oh... that's actually true! I'm... interested in insects and stuff... Huh! I've liked insect removal and stuff since I was a little girl... and with that extension, you want to see insects all over the world with this eye...!

Her face was sunny.

I'm sure no one has ever been able to reveal this before. Then maybe it would be easier for me to just listen.

If my friend's troubles are to be alleviated at all, I'd be happy to.

"Insects... I used to dive in the jungle too. I've seen a lot."

"Jungle......!?

"Besides, my parents' house is near the dogma forest. I often dive into the woods in contact with a variety of creatures."

"Dogma Forest......!? Ray... I knew you weren't the only one..."

"Yeah, why don't you two go exploring for the summer vacation? I don't care if it's worm removal. As a matter of fact, I'm free for the summer vacation."

"Huh......!? Really!?"

"Ah."

"I'm going! I'm definitely going! Duh, what woods are we going to!?

"Wouldn't it be nice to have Kafka Forest around here?

"Right! Oh, I'm looking forward to it now!!

And we kept chatting further when we secured one summer vacation appointment. However, the main task now is the operation of on-campus qualifications. Let's not forget about that and keep working hard in the future.

And a few hours later, the on-campus qualifiers finally opened the curtain.
