It was when the acceptance of the Elves and the Vamillians into the tower was over.

In front of the monitor on the control board, Kaiseki was really roaring.

It's been a long time since I got into that state.

Mitsuki, who decided it was time to speak up, called out to the examiner.

"What's bothering you so much?

Suddenly, Mitsuki suddenly called out to me, and after the exam was blurred, the expression looked bad.

"I was looking for something to install. There's something I don't know what to use."

"Hmm. What kind of stuff?

Mitsuki said so, pointing to a part of the monitor.

When Mitsuki checked it, it had the name of an item written on it.

Just a stone.

Mitsuki, thinking only a little, said to the examiner after tilting his neck.

"This?"

"Yes, just a stone. That's what it says, but there's definitely something going on! I don't know."

That said, the examiner's expression once again became immersed in thought.

Mitsuki saw it, but she couldn't say it out loud.

"Isn't it just a stone?".

"So, the Lord is now?

Kouhi, who had heard about the situation from Mitsuki, looked at Mitsuki in the eye.

"No, because it's not very nice, but it's hard to say."

Mitsuki said so, and the two eyes turned towards the assistant student.

The examiner was lying face to face on the desk where the monitor was placed.

If it were a cartoon, there would have been hot air on its head.

It was a diagram that whoever looked at it was overthinking and exhausting.

Kouhi, who reconfirmed it, sighed and said to Mitsuki.

"I see. Let me tell you something."

"Please, I can't."

Kouchi sighed again after seeing Mitsuki put his hands together and went straight to the examiner.

"Master"

"... hmm? Ah, Kouhi. What?"

"Why don't you rest a little without overpacking the roots?

When Kouhi said so, the examiner shook his head after roaring "Hmm".

"No, we're almost there."

Really?

"That's right!!

"Huh!? What is it?

Suddenly, Kouchi showed a slightly surprised expression to the examiner who raised his voice.

"Let's see if Kouhi can think of anything. This is it..."

While saying so, the study aide points to < just stone > in the same way as when Mitsuki said.

"Ugh...!? Ah, uh, uh..."

Looking at the facial expression of the examiner, Kouchi got a little rough and coughed up deliberately.

"Um... I can't think of it all of a sudden, so I'll think about it for a second."

"Yes, please."

Kouhi returned to Mitsuki with an unspeakable expression when he answered with pleasure.

Mitsuki greeted him with a warm gaze.

"Hmm, what is it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Kouhi glanced at Mitsuki, who said so to make fun of him, but eventually said this.

"Anyway, let me think about it as much as I want right now."

When Kouchi suggested so, Mitsuki also rode on it.

"I see. Soon you'll find out for yourself."

"That's right. You'd better find out for yourself."

We both decided to force ourselves to do so.

After that, they never asked or suggested anything to the examiner about the matter.

Because the unit price is cheap, I tried everything.

Just put it on the ground or on a growing tree. That's why I put it in the sacred water.

Sometimes it was impossible to install it, but since it was possible to install it in almost all places with only objects, it was installed in as many places as possible.

However, the stone was just a stone, and there was no significant change.

Still, I didn't give up my exam.

I stopped going because I was only involved in the boulder, but I looked in the middle and set up various places.

When you get here, you're just passing through the ground and becoming inert.

"Hmm? What is this?

Schlein tilted his head when he saw something like a handwritten map written by Kaiseki.

"Oh, I'm writing to make sure I don't forget where I put the stones."

When I heard that, Shreyn looked stunned.

"What is it? Did you keep going? I wish I could give up now."

"What are you talking about? When you give up, it's over.

Is that what this is all about?

Shreyn leaned her neck, and the examiner continued with a slender face.

"That's right. I don't know what's wrong with this."

I see. I think stones are just stones?

"Yes, but maybe not! If it's possible, it's worth a try!

"Is that what this is about?

"That's what this is about."

The examiner nodded back to Shreyn, who leaned his neck again.

As Shreyn leaned her neck out of the control room, she noticed Kouhi and Mitsuki gazing at us.

"What happened?

"Yeah, it's nothing. I was just wondering if Shreyn could do it."

Next to Mitsuki, Kouchi nodded.

"It's okay. That's what I'm talking about. It's no big deal."

"Really?

"Yes, that's right."

Kouhi and Mitsuki nodded in that way, and Shreyn turned to see how the Vamilinian Castle was.

After all, the installation of < just stone > continued until the auxiliary examination was satisfactory.

At the end of the day, there was also the feeling that everyone had already given up and been doing it again.

In conclusion,

"It's just a stone!

It was.

"What is it? Is that what happened after all?"

"That's right. That's how I feel when I say it."

Shreyn looked slightly stunned, and the examiner's expression became complicated.

"Well, no. Anyway, just let me know if you've noticed anything else."

"Well, that's fine... What's the point?

"Don't waste it. There's nothing to waste in the first place. You do something and you fail because it's one result."

"Is that what this is about?

"That's what this is about."

Shreyn leaned her neck, and Kaisuke was so careful.

I don't feel comfortable with studying, but I think it is important to actually try even if I know that I will fail on purpose.

In case something else happens with it.

It is above all important to check it properly.

Even if I knew it in my head, it was a study aid that argued that there was an opening as different as heaven and earth just by imagining what I would actually try.
