Mob, if I were a high school student, could I be an adventurer, too, Leah?

"So, that's it for today." Let's do our best to get through Angormore safely tomorrow! ”

Anna's bid was applauded, and the long meeting was finally over.

Close the lock on the department and leave the school together.

"Just as I was approaching the station..."

Well then, I have a little shopping to do in Tachikawa, so I'll see you here tomorrow.

With that said, I saw off everyone who was disappearing into the ticket.

When I entered the nearby coffee shop, I asked for only tea and waited quietly by myself.

Then it should take about twenty minutes... "

Sorry to keep you waiting, senpai.

Anna came with a pleasant smile as she shook her red hair, which stood out in the distance.

"When the meeting is over, I want to talk to everyone alone..."

Anna peered into my face with a mischievous smile.

"Maybe a confession of love?"

I said that and giggled.

"... looks like it's going to be fun."

"Fufu, is that so?" That may be the case. Ah, onee-san, one hot lemon tea. "

"Ok, do you want to order anything else?"

It's okay.

I saw off the clerk's lady and Anna turned to me.

"So, if it's not a confession of love, then what are you talking about?"

Well, let's do that when the tea comes.

"Huh...? I see."

Then we waited silently and quietly until the clerk brought us the tea.

Anna looks at the people in the store to see what's interesting.

There are no particularly strange objects or people in the store, such as a clerk who cleans the table or goes to get an order, or a salaried person who looks like he's taking a sip at work.

However, Anna looks at the people in the store without getting bored, as if she was visiting an art museum or a museum.

I wondered what was in her eyes, and I asked.

"... what have you been looking at?"

"Hmm? Daily routine... hm?"

Everyday?

I look around.... It's true that what's going on in this shop is a daily sight. In other words, it can be seen everywhere and nothing is special.

When I opened my mouth to ask more about the intention, the clerk brought me tea.

... somehow, I feel like I've missed my chance. Well, it's not a big deal.

And as I was about to get the soundproof junction tool out of my bag, I realized that it was already on the table.

Unexpectedly, looking at Anna, she smiles like a cheshire cat.

"I thought we needed to talk about this." Could it be different? "

"... no, that's the story."

I rinsed my strangely dry throat with a sip of tea.

"I called Anna today... to tell her my secret before Angormore."

Therefore, I asked about the reaction with Clinique.

Anna puts her chin on her elbowed finger on the table and smiles lightly, waiting for the conversation to continue.

While being slightly upset by the demonic face somewhere, I continued.

"Has Anna ever felt like my luck was too good?"

"Lucky for you?... you've got succubus in the race, hit Athena with a pack, or thought, 'You've got it.'"

"Well, when it comes to succubi, it's really a coincidence... but Athena is not a coincidence." Inevitably. It was a coincidence that it was Athena, but I knew I was going to win the B-rank. ”

"... no way"

Anna's smile disappeared from her face.

From here, it's the right place. I said, spitting one thing.

"Let's be straightforward." I have some control over my luck. I have a card with the power to say that....!? "

At that moment, I felt my gaze crawl around my body in an instant.

"I'm trying to extract all kinds of information from my behavior..."

It feels as if you're staring at an insect's complex eye.

Anna's expression was as if all her emotions had fallen off, and she was watching me often while moving her pale eyes slightly...... but eventually.

"... what evidence do you have?"

Yes, I asked in a whispering voice.

I managed to swallow the agitation with my raw saliva...

"That's right... I'll show you the lotus flower that became auspicious in the next labyrinth attack." Isn't that enough? "

No, that's enough.

Anna answered briefly and leaned silently with her elbow.

His face was covered with red hair, and he could not know his expression.

At first, I thought I was examining the authenticity of the story, but when I looked closely, I noticed that my body was trembling.

"... Anna?"

"No, I'm sorry... I'm getting a little excited."

Anna slowly raised her face.

At that time, the tremor subsided, at least on the surface as usual. Without a heart, my cheeks were flushed and my eyes seemed to be moist.

"I thought senpai had some secrets, but not this much..." By the way, did you tell this story to anyone else? "

"No, just Anna for now."...... I'm sorry I didn't shut up until now. "

"No, it's only natural to keep it a secret." Rather, I'm glad that senpai is a prudent personality.... Really. But I'm the only one. fufu..... "

Anna, who smiled for a moment, hit her finger and looked troubled.

"However, I was a little troubled by that."... if senpai has that kind of power, will he be able to pay for it? "

"Ah, no, I didn't mean to say that..."

I told Anna this story to make the Adventurer's Department more efficient by having Garnet turn over to me instead of cash.

It is not intended to appeal to ability and increase compensation dividends.

But Anna shook her head at me like that.

“Well, if we don't reward them for their abilities and achievements, the organization will eventually collapse. Do you have anything you want?"

"... there is. This time I told Anna a secret, and it's related to that."

Anna nodded with a satisfied smile at my answer.

"Let me ask you something." Just say whatever you want. ”

"I think I just told you that I can control my luck to a certain extent, but of course I can't say no to cost. Until now, I've saved up a little bit of my usual luck and used it all at once when fighting the Lord or pulling a pack from my guild... but I've recently found a way to replenish my lucky energy from the outside."

In my words, Anna puts her finger on her chin and shows me how to think for a few seconds...

"... is that a carbuncle garnet?"

"Huh!?"

How did you know!?

When I was stunned, Anna smiled a little boastfully.

"I wonder if that's the case with Senpai's labyrinth attack." Because I seemed strangely obsessed with just expensive cash-exchange items. ”

"Seriously... do you think the other members have noticed?"

"What do you think? I'm just careful because I usually pay attention to the situation of my members. Maybe I've noticed around Xiao Ye, but... if I don't know your abilities, I won't have any particular doubts, right?"

"I see..."

Soothe your chest. Well, if you don't know the effect of garnet, maybe it's just your imagination? I'm sure it'll be over in a few days.

"But it's garnet... I see." And then, is the country aware of this ability after all? "

Does Anna think so, too?

“Yes, I'm pretty sure first of all. When I think about it, there are many things that I can be convinced of....... Incidentally, that ability is also valid for Treasure Tag cards?"

It's still working, but the A-rank card doesn't seem to work with any garnet.

"Hmm? I see, A-rank is a lot of special stuff." Well, in that case, the reward is garnet and treasure tag cards. "

Well, I appreciate it if you do that, but what about the distribution to the Weaver and the Master?

“Oh, about that, I'm going to switch to cash distribution. Normally, the price of garnets and other decorative items will definitely go down towards Angormore. I think everyone would be more grateful for the distribution in cash than for the distribution in garnet, so I think you would be more convinced.

The excuse is that I decided to sell it at my parents' house, and I bought it from everyone for 2 million yen one by one, and I felt like it was flowing to senpai behind my back. "

"Hmmm, it's true that the face-up garnet is just a gem, and the price is going to drop more and more."...... but with that mouth, do you hide my abilities from the Weaving Department and the Master? "

"Oh? I thought that would be better, but wasn't it?"

I shook my head to affirm Anna's lovely leaning neck.

"... no, it's not. It's better to know as few secrets as possible than to have a magic tool for reading minds."... but it's kind of hard to deceive Garnet. "

"Hmm, I think you care too much." In the end, it is used to improve the survival rate of the Adventurer's Department. "

"Is that so...?"

"Yes, if you have the ability, you can get a B-Rank Card for everyone at Angormore, and everyone is fooled!" You shouldn't have said that. "

"I see, you didn't say that." I'm not that user-friendly about my abilities. There is a risk in using it. "

"... is it a risk?"

Anna narrowed her eyes and I nodded.

"Oh, the act of trying to control the future as you please can be followed by a swing of good fortune. I call it causal distortion. This causal distortion builds up when you try to make sure you get a B-rank card.”

"Causal distortion..."

Anna laid her hand on her chin and lowered her gaze.

"The causal distortion disappears naturally over time, so if you use your ability to avoid accumulating distortions, well, once or twice a month is the limit. I have another lucky move, but it probably costs several times as much garnet as it does, and it doesn't guarantee a B-rank card.”

"I see... well, at the point where you get one or two B-rank cards a month, that's great." In that case, please prioritize the strength of your party first. If you have time and garnet left, it would be great if your team could spin the B-rank card.... by the way, I'm talking about garnet, but what about Vivir Diamond? "

“I don't know, I've never tried it.”

“I see, so next time you want to use that ability, try this.”

That's why Anna gave me the Vivir Diamond.

"This is..."

"Unlike Garnet, the last labyrinth attack was inseparable, so it was the Vivir Diamond I had in my custody." I was going to exchange it for garnet and distribute it, but please use it to experiment with it. ”

"Hmm, how do you distribute that amount to everyone?" Well, I told you earlier that I would buy Garnet in bulk and exchange it for cash, but what about the money? "

"I'm sorry to have to rely on you, senpai... If I give you the next B-rank card, can you give it to me?" I want to pay Koyaki and Kanazuki-senpai the garnet share with the money I sold. Instead, I don't need my share of garnet money. "

I frowned at Anna's suggestion.

"It's good to give you a B-rank card, but you can't give me your share without it." Please take it properly. "

"Don't bother." Because it's too little as a reward for seniors to be part of our team. "

"No, take it." That's how you get a B-rank card. In other words, wouldn't it be simpler for me to buy garnets and diamonds from Anna with a B-rank card? "

It would be better if the shape was easier to understand than to make it strange and confusing.

"Hmm, you really don't have to worry about it, but if you want to do that..." Well... here's what we're going to do. From now on, our leader is senpai. "

Yeah?

"There's something unexpected about it..."

"If you're a leader, you can only strengthen your forces by using your abilities to strengthen your team." It would be better if we did this than if we were leaders. ”

I was bewildered by Anna, who had just handed over the position of the leader she was holding.

"No, I'm not interested in the leader... and Anna has leadership, so if you keep it that way, it'll help me."

"Oh, you were surprisingly highly praised."

"Well, you've been thinking about different patterns in today's meeting, haven't you?" I want my crew to be able to respond instantaneously to whatever they say. You're the only one of us who can be like that. I can't do it. "

Anna's school results are poor, but she's just not interested... she hasn't found any value, and her head is never bad. No, in a sense, it's better than the brilliant type Ikebu.

"Fufu... thank you." It was worth the effort to have you say that. "

Anna laughed happily at my flattering admiration.

"But yes, if that's the case, senpai... what about being a true leader?" I've always served as a face-to-face leader. Behind that, what do you want to hear from senpai? "

"Hmm, I don't really know what that means... but the point is, Anna's going to be the leader." Well, that's fine. "

When I said that, Anna clapped her hands and smiled happily.

That's settled! Thank you again, True Leader!

"Please quit the leader, seriously..." Well, it's getting pretty late, so let's go home. "

"That's right.... ah"

Hmm?

Just as I was about to stand up, Anna suddenly raised her voice like she remembered, and stopped with her hips halfway up.

"... I'm sorry, but can you seriously think about meeting my father?" I just wanted to introduce you formally. "

Anna laughed deeply when she said that.

... what are you officially introducing me to? "I'm scared..."

And while freaking out inside, I just nodded vaguely.
