The long winter and snowy Stridian kingdom is also past March, and sunshine time increases dramatically when April is soon approaching.As the daytime temperature rises and you start to feel some warmth, the snow that was so piling up begins to melt off the surface and gradually reduces its bulk.

It's snowmelt season. Spring is near.

It was still a while before the young leaves bloomed and the flowers bloomed, and the signs of spring that were getting stronger and stronger each day sparked people's hearts.This spring was a particularly long-awaited season for some adventurers in the Territorial Adventurers' Union (Alliance), especially those who lived in the most snowy Trisval region of the Kingdom.The long-awaited "Magic Course" will be held.

"Snow like snow is about to end."

"Yes, I can see the ground on the streets that are always being snowed."

Is it about time?

"Yeah, I'll let my brother know."

Siori smiled back at Alec, who was peeking at the materials at hand.Lori at her feet also trembled.

The timing of the home economics magic course, which had long been requested, was decided to start in the spring when the sun clears up and the snow begins to melt.Because a lot of prospective students wanted that.I want to learn before the snow melts completely and summer activities become full-scale.

"Let's hope there's no urgent request left.I'll split up the manpower. "

In the early spring, hibernation beasts become active in search of food.These crusade requests will be dazzling for a while, but I'd like to rely on the vigilante and the Knights if possible.I want to concentrate on the workshop.

"The hopers are swelling up more than I thought... and I hope we can make it."

Initially it was scheduled to be about six or seven people, but rumors called, inquiries from other branches, the Knights of the North, and the Border Homes eventually turned into a large area of more than twenty people, both inside and outside the Union (Alliance).

Aside from adventurers, they include Rovnell cooks and Border Guards, as well as knights who have been redeployed to rear support units due to arm failure.Some of them were knights named after former captains who were seriously wounded in Brovito's snowwolf raid and left the front lines.

"... the Captain at that time.I guess I finally let go of my sword..... "

Alec's expression distorted slightly.As the same swordsman, his hand strokes his clever arm to see what he thinks.

The former Captain, who was seriously injured, cut his arm and said that even with healing magic, it would be difficult to wave the sword as before.The more I served as captain, the better I could have stood.I'm not sure if it was the will of the person or the recommendation of others, but coming to learn the magic of home economics still meant I had to let go of the sword.

"... I don't know how much I can help you, but I'd be happy if you could help me with my technology."

Looking painfully at the roster of hopers, Alec raised his face and smiled.

"We're here to help.So don't worry. "

I'm here, too! Lori also trembled.

"Yeah, thanks, both of you. I'll do my best."

Homemaker magic is never the only goal for those who want to take the course.So far, many magicians have tried and shattered multiple magic simultaneously - there must be a lot of expectation for synthetic magic.In fact, some of the senior magicians who expected this would like to participate, but then the original purpose of the home economics magic course is very different from the purpose.

So this time, I politely refused, and the synthetic magic talks were wrapped up at another time.Instead, they accompanied the tour and guarded the venue.Because synthetic magic is in danger of outbursts.

Alec and Nadia will be on guard with them.They're all veterans of magic.They will move as soon as they see signs of an outbreak.

"... but did you practice alone?"

"In my case, the magic is very low.Even if it erupted, it would have burned a little. "

It is known because it is magical enough to defeat a single giant spider if it is not used well.When the outbreak broke out, the pot sprayed out.That's why I needed creativity.

"Hey, what's up?"

I cut and burned my hand due to a magical failure, but of course, the injury was completely healed and beautiful.Still, Alec must have wondered, gently grabbing Shiori's hand and gazing carefreely.

When he stroked his hand like that and smiled okay, he smiled with his eyebrows and buttocks down.

"Even so, there are a lot of intermediate magicians out there."

"Yeah, yeah, I was a little surprised, too.But these people seem pretty serious, too. "

Some intermediate magicians have no magic strengths and cannot reach senior positions.The so-called Intermediate Stoppers.

I am a Class B holder, but as a magician, I still envy Theori, who is the lowest of the ranks.

However, the intermediate stop was a worrying issue for magicians whose battle depended on magic.Overwhelmingly not enough magic power to target a high ranked Demon Beast and cannot receive requests above a certain rank.The range of requests will be considerably narrower.Even if I had entered the party, I could have gotten caught up in it.Neither the level nor the adventurer rank could be promoted further, which was a matter of life and death for those who regarded adventure as a lifelong job.

"Luckily, I did this as a magical swordsman because I was compatible with the sword, but yes... if it was just magic, I'd probably be a middle-stage magician."

You can use advanced magic, but it's not powerful enough to be the main force.And I don't like range magic.He said that he would have been intermediate when he became a magician.

"Perhaps the adventurer was also ranked B"

"Really....."

If there were another means of attack like Alec, the story would be different, but, as he says, the weapon is compatible.Shiori herself, when she underwent the aptitude test, it was said that even if she trained, she would probably only be able to acquire swordsmanship to the extent of self-defense.Of course, I'm no match for a Magic Beast.That's why I had to spoil my position as a low-ranking magician.

But fortunately, I have the strength of home economics magic.Because of the added value of housekeeping magic, which was converted from research to housework, I was able to qualify as a Class B magician while being the lowest ranking magician.

That's why they at the intermediate level are expecting this course.If you no longer want to play any more role as a magician, I think it is not bad to aim for a full backup position like Shiori.

"Of course, I'm not good at housework.That's why I think that even if I don't have to force myself to become a domestic magician, it would be a good time to think about my own way of working. "

The number of adventurers enrolled in a union (guild) increases year by year, and the number of requests received is diversified.There are many things that can't be dealt with by existing professions as before.

If the theory that some of the high difficulty requests that could not produce satisfactory results unless it was a party composed only of high ranking holders until now can be handled by a mid-level party is true with the assistance of a domestic magician - the new special position that will surely be born in the future may also be active somewhere.

Nils, a pharmacist, has already begun to develop medicinal baths and meal dishes for the campsite, aiming to also serve as a domestic magician.He laughed and said that it was time to learn the magic of home economics.

Medicinal dishes? I hope it doesn't smell like medicine.... "

Alec is laughing bitterly.It seems that Nils prepared nutrients that have been consumed once tasted so bad that they have been avoided for appropriate reasons ever since.

"Did it taste so... good?"

"Ahh....."

Alec had distant eyes.

"... it tasted like dried leaves and mud boiled in cheap wine"

Ugh

Alec moans that the class A pharmacist just said it was a nourishing agent, which seems to have worked well, but it's a taste that he doesn't want to talk about many times.

"... it might be better for you to have a tasting party before you suddenly go camping."

"Well, no matter how effective it is, I don't want to exchange it for mental strength."

Nils' cooking skills are unknown, but taste is important.Even more so now that I know that one meal affects my morale afterwards.

Together with Louis, they headed to the union (guild), laughing bitterly.In order to schedule a specific course.

Walk in the warm sun, with the exception of melting sherbet-like pavement snow.A carriage was passing by, lifting up muddy water, causing the walking daughters to scream.

"This kind of half-melted snow is actually more troublesome than mid-winter."

"That's right. Unmaintained roads are terrible.I'd like to avoid asking you to go through such a path.There's mud everywhere before we get there. "

No matter how close the spring is, the night still falls below freezing point.The snow melted during the day is now frozen like shark sugar and it is difficult to walk because it is taken from my feet.I get tired just by walking.

"Avalanches can happen at this time of year.We need to be very careful with the newcomers.Especially those who grew up in the city. "

"Yeah."

When I opened the door of the union (guild) that finally arrived while having a conversation with Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-Pop-PoThis slime, which Zach and the Magus contracted the other day, is now completely familiar with as a union mascot.

In response to that blow, Louis gladly looked back at the tentacle.

They both waved back and greeted each other, but noticed the strange atmosphere in the room and frowned.Because colleagues who were whispering secretly in front of conversation rooms and bulletin boards created expressions like "a" the moment they noticed each other.Instead, when the clerk saw the two, he knocked in all shapes and jumped into the master room in a hurry.

Seeing that the reason for this strange air was apparently here, Siori looked up at Alec anxiously.Judging by the faces of colleagues, it's obvious that it's not a good reason.But I also seem to care about something.

"... um... what is it?"

But just like Theoli, who doesn't know what's going on, he just shook his head with his eyebrows closed.

Alec gently hugs Shiori's shoulders, shrinking into a strange atmosphere.

When a colleague said something to those two, the door to the master's room opened.Zack, whose face was difficult to say as confused as the face of the traffic, peered into his face.

"Wow, you just got here."

As he scratched red hair and exhaled a big sigh, he closed the door behind him and invited Shiori.

"... what? Niisan"

"Someone wants to apologize to you.But you can say no if you don't want to.I said, "I don't mind if he does."

"That guy? I want to apologize...?"

I can't think of anything - that's what happened to my old buddies.Alec also figured it out, strengthening the hand holding his shoulders.

And they said, "Oh, no, I'm sorry.Maybe he doesn't think so. "Zach, who laughed bitterly, said one name with his breath.

"Vivi Laretti, remember? Last autumn, I had a problem (...) with the C-Class Mage who quit.

"Vivi.... ah"

It was supposed to be a very unfamiliar name, but the word "mouth" came back to me last autumn.It was only for a moment that I was involved.Faces and biographies were known by rumors, but they were never close enough to remember names - it was just a (...) relationship where they were "attacked" by unilaterally hostile rhetoric.

The newcomers' daughters tried to harm Shiori with weapons and magic at the end of the argument, saying that it was strange that Shiori was certified as a B class because she had low magic and was only doing the work of a housekeeper.One of them is Vivi Laretti.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If Theoli hadn't resisted, it would have been a knighthood case.

I should have seen some pretty painful eyes, but the mastermind's daughter probably didn't get anything from her experience.Unfortunately, after a period of caution, he lost his life after receiving an excessive number of requests without changing his arrogant attitude.

The colour of some reflection did not defy her with a strong sense of reflection, and as a result, the other daughter, who had abandoned her and survived, relocated with great regret.

And the last one - this Vivi's daughter almost escaped, left the union (guild) and returned to her hometown - was the end of last fall's incident.

Theoli

The caring voice of Alec.

After returning to me, Siori stared at his brother's face from the front.My empty eyes are shaking with anxiety.This gentle brother still cares about Siori's "identity".

--Brother in this world. My beloved brother, who is kind and dependable.

Besides, there are lovers who have accepted all the circumstances of Shiori, as well as reliable rugged friends.

Theoli smiled. I'm not alone anymore.

"... I'm a little scared... but I'll see you later."

Perhaps she had the potential to become a senior magician, but she didn't forget the fear of the moment she pointed her wand at her.However, if Vivi's mood changed only after about six months, his desire to see him won.

Zach nodded bitterly and opened the door to the room.

A daughter-in-law with wheat hair who was sitting on a bench tended to lean upwards raised her face.The gaze is intertwined from the front. Her wobbly eyes, which unfortunately met in a small way, were filled with remorse, confusion and fear - a complex colour mixed with various emotions.
