Kage no Eiyuu no Nichijou-tan

"Clearly, I'm disappointed."

At a coffee shop in the corner of the Wang capital, Elisia said, taking her lips off the straw stabbed in the glass.

The peachy liquid filling the glass was the most expensive product in the store because of the limited time fruit juice. The shop, which has a clean and calm atmosphere, is also visited by upper-class people living in the Wang capital. Because of this, it is priced slightly higher for civilians.

Naturally, that juice that Elysia is drinking right now was my luxury.

"You guys were playmates."

Elysia stares at me and Gran sitting across the street with cold eyes.

"... you may not believe me, but today is the first time I've played numb"

"Yes, lying. Absolutely lying. I've been watching it for quite some time, but I've been used to it."

I can't give you anything back when you say that.

Silence with Gran and show reflection anyway.

Then a silver-haired girl sitting in front of him leaked a depressed voice.

"Na, you were a numpa, that... wow, me, I was in real trouble, so I thought I'd show you the way..."

"Sorry"

My conscience hurts crisp.

Let's not nag anymore.

"Nearly. Why don't you guys just remember the face of your classmates?

To Elisia's word, now me and the silver-haired girl groan "ugh".

Surprisingly, this girl was our classmate.

Mize-Hoens.

Now I remember, when I introduced myself, she was the girl who told me she was looking for an adventurer. He must have been a regular student, just like me and Gran.

"Well, Too Eight has a thin shadow, and I can't help but remember"

"... hey"

I'd argue, but I know what Elicia's trying to say. Mize has an eye-catching appearance, which makes it so easy to remember compared to me.

I'm not that bad at remembering people's faces. When I was in the Ningro Institution, I desperately remembered people's faces using special memory techniques, because no matter what happened during my assignment, I should not forget the target's face. It is not only a way to remember the image of the face, but also as a semantic memory by linking the characteristics of each part, such as the eyes, nose and mouth, with the symbols.

You have to remember the faces of your bosses and targets. Because if you forget your target, you fail your mission, and if you forget your boss, you're beaten pointlessly. But - classmates don't have that kind of danger. I unconsciously said, "Don't you have to remember? I thought," I guess I forgot my efforts to actually remember. I'm out of my mind. It's my downfall.

"I'm Mr. Mize. I knew it."

"... what?

I turned my back on Gran's words.

"No, you can't be unaware. Mr. Mize is our general practitioner's idol. It's been less than a week since I've been in school, and I've already learned enough about other classes."

"Ahhh...... please stop it because it's embarrassing"

Mize can illuminate her face bright red.

Idol in general medicine. I didn't know such rumors were circulating. but right now, that's not where you should care...

"- Hey. Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Hey, I was wondering if you could seriously numb me if you were a too-eight"

This man, you might want to bust him once.

Thanks to this, I got the wings to numb my classmates.

"Minimum"

Elysia stares at Gran.

Gran, however, vented with a reopened look.

"I say no to one thing, but I'm not gonna be forced to bring around a woman I hate, either, am I? Enjoy your time with them and yourself. These are the rules of Napa."

I tell Gran confidently, I pour a cold gaze.

"You've never been successful, but you can always say that."

"Gu... this still went by in my hometown with a beauty shape, me?

No one truly received that less credible information.

"By the way, what were the Elisias doing?"

"You're out of line."

"Give me a break already... you've had enough drinks"

With that said, Elisia swallowed up the straw and drank the juice at once making noises with Zuzozo. And with a full smile...

"Instead."

"... go ahead"

Elysia orders a replacement from the clerk.

This is the third exchange. Now Elicia has four cups to spare.

"Now I forgive you.... we were just normally strolling around Wang Du."

"A walk? Surprisingly, I thought you were still working out after school because of Elicia."

"Because you told me before. No rush. Since then, I've been conscious of losing a little bit of my shoulder strength."

Apparently, that day's advice didn't go to waste.

"Where did you get to know Mize?

"Two days ago. We spoke lightly, and we started to act together a lot. Especially when I went to school with a sense of purpose."

It was a slightly eye-catching word from the top, but maybe this is Elicia's vegetable. Mize understands that, too, and there is no appearance of her being offended.

"Sure... you were looking for an adventurer?

"Ha!"

Mize affirmed well.

"Adventurer...... that's good, right? I feel free. Me, I definitely want to be an adventurer one day and travel all over the world. That's why I went into Builders School, but I fell for the entrance exam in Heroes..."

It was a mise that spoke of dreams in a tranced way, but gradually its expression darkened.

Just the fourth cup of limited time juice arrives at the table. After Elisia received it, Mize also drank just a little juice.

... It's not a civilian thing.

How to pull or sit a chair, the tone of a conversation, or the behavior of including a drink in your mouth. There is a slight discomfort in everything.

Mize is probably not a civilian. aristocrats. That would also be a fairly high status.

But I haven't noticed around. Besides, it seems unwilling to speak to the person.... Do I keep my mouth shut?

"If you want to be an adventurer, you might want to become a hero."

"Right. … I resent my lack of strength"

Say it like Mize is depressed.

"I wouldn't be so depressed. It's not fair to flatter that exam."

When Elisia said, Mize rounded her eyes.

"I found out later too... this exam seems to have an unusually high pass rate for nobility."

"Uh, I mean...?

"In WWIV, many nobles personally collaborated with the Brave Party. Mainly in terms of funding. So, now that the war is over, the nobles are demanding something in return from the country. One of the rewards is a ticket to the hero family. If you were to graduate from the Department of Heroes at Builders School, it would be foiled. That's why the nobles are sending their sons and daughters to Builders School all the time."

I guess that's why Elicia, who belonged to the Heroidae family, had more opportunities to know the truth about the Heroidae than we do. Elysia looked discouraged somewhere.

"Even if you don't, just because you fail in that exam doesn't mean you lack the ability"

I'll tell Elysia to agree.

"That exam was an unfavourable form for some. For example, trap users.... Trap users are inherently stone stones to set a trap in the field beforehand, etc., and decide on a battle before they fight (...). But the entrance exam forbade me to enter the field before the exam started, so I couldn't do it. Other users who specialize in support ceremonies have to make friends and fight for what they can't fight for on their own... but in that short period of time, it's hard to find one who can keep their backs"

"Ku, you know more, Mr. Tweet"

"Well, I took the exam, too. Unfortunately, it fell."

"What's 'unfortunately'? Not on purpose."

To Elysia's sharp penetration, Mize and Gran asked, "On purpose?" and lean his neck.

In response to those two, Elisia explains to a sigh of relief.

"Neither of you have heard of my rumors? Talk about defeating Dr. Farnese on the entrance exam."

"Well, of course I've heard of it. It was an amazing rumor early in school. There's no one you don't know.... Whatever, if you're a graduate, the guy who hasn't even enrolled yet suddenly defeated the teacher."

"Actually, I saw Dr. Farnese only once during the exam... but honestly, I couldn't believe at first that a generation of people just defeated that teacher. Dr. Farnese clearly had a different level of strength than his students, and most of them had actually failed."

Elisia's defeat of Dr. Farnese during the exam has now become as famous a fact as anyone in the school knows. I guess it's a big acknowledgement of that fact, not only in general studies, but also in hero studies. Some rumor is that Elisia is the "strongest freshman".

But Elisia took a sigh of relief.

"It wasn't really me who defeated Dr. Farnese, it was Tuate."

"Ha!?

"What!?

Mize and Gran shouted out loud and surprised.

"... Elysia. That's a little, isn't it?

"Then explain yourself. I don't want to explain this anymore."

Say it in a way that Elysia is fed up with.

I had no choice but to take over the rest of the explanation.

"Technically, me and Elicia put our hands together to defeat Dr. Farnese. I just had a little trouble afterwards and I couldn't pass the exam. So maybe Elysia's supposed to be single and defeat Dr. Farnese."

"Actually, it's mostly Tuate's feat, not mine. It was the too-eight that disabled the teacher. 'Cause I just stuck my sword in it afterwards"

"No, I couldn't do that alone. The teacher couldn't afford to read my aim because Elisia came into contact with me."

"I hope so.... I think I'm hiding something else."

As the two of us exchanged voices, I realized that Gran and Mize were gazing at me.

"You guys are terrible. I don't know, the dimensions are different..."

"Huh, both of you, it's amazing..."

I find it difficult to describe how uncomfortable it is in the eyes of both of us.

It was the past that I needed strength. I'm not happy that they brought it up right now, and I don't think people would be proud of me for acknowledging it.

"That's right. I wanted to ask Tuate something.... you lost your hand in today's magic internship. Why? Weren't you willing to hide your strength?

I guess today's magic internship is about me not even being able to activate Fireball and being ridiculed by a hero student. Sure, to some extent, from Elysia, who knows my strength, I can't help wondering.

"I'm not out of my hands. That's my strength."

"But you can use Sniping. That's D-rank magic, isn't it? Then it's weird that you can't use the same D-rank Fireball."

I can put my natural doubts to the table.

I told you the truth, honestly.

"... only long-range magic can be used with Sniper and Barrett. Sniping couldn't be successfully controlled without a cane, and Demon Bullet didn't get permission to use it."

When I told her so, Elisia looked more and more surprised.

"That there are only two things you can use magic...?

"Anything that falls under the Ranged Fire Ceremony. I can't use any other magic... than I've learned very little. Instead of the two magics I've just said, I'm confident I can use them twice as much."

"... well, I'm sure your Sniping wasn't human."

Even the soldiers of the institution would have remembered a little more magic by nature.

But in my case, I only remember Sniper and Demon Bullet. Rather than saying you couldn't remember, it was caused by the fact that the instructor decided, "You only need those two". In fact, until now, I have been able to survive safely with that, so the instructor's decision will have been the right one.

We chatted all the way out and decided to leave the coffee shop and go back to the dorm before dark.

Elysia and Mize's drinks are paid for by me and Grand. Mize was somewhat reluctant, but the verbal apology alone hurts my conscience, so I decided to luxury slightly more forcefully.

"Hmm?"

When I went outside the store, I heard something noisy.

"You! You know me as the baron of Falcion!

The boy flying the anger was a Sieg in the family of heroes.
