A black girl who left behind all the mysteries and left the scene, Reefa.
I was telling you that I was genuine and worried, but no matter how much I thought about it on the spot, there was no answer.
"You fought harder than I thought, Kate."
A slightly excited and interesting Lyla said that at a tavern table that she runs within the guild.
Fran, who was with me earlier, went somewhere else as if she had other business to attend to, but Lila, who was normally free, stayed here until my second exam started. [M]
Incidentally, for the results of the primary examinations, numbers four and five--only me and Rifa were on the bulletin board as passing candidates.
"To tell you the truth, when I ran away from Orochi because I used too much physical strength, my body was torn apart."
"Eh, it wasn't Orochi's wound...."
Well, if you were so seriously injured, you wouldn't be able to mistake it for an injury caused by an Orochi attack.
"Hmm. If Orochi attacked me, it wouldn't be strange to shatter my five bodies. Better yet... if the pussy hadn't come, Kate might have been dead."
If that happens, you'd be an idiot to hunt yourself down and die...
"But if you can pass the first exam, it looks like you've already passed."
Really?
"You know the secondary exam is an interview, right? So I'm going to judge the character and aptitude of the candidate, but from my point of view, Kate, I don't think it's a problem at all."
I was secretly nervous when I heard the interview, but the words of encouragement made me feel a little less nervous.
"What kind of questions did Lyla ask?"
"Me? What do I... want to do when they ask me my name or become an adventurer... well, the question itself wasn't that hard? Ah, but it depends on the person in charge of the interview. Rick and I seem to be flying a lot of questions."
That's him.
He was a strong man.
At least now I can't stand up and win.
Remembering the battle against him, Shif, who was in black cat state, called out to Lyla.
"How powerful is he?"
"Even here, it's strong enough to fit five fingers. Perhaps the strongest swordsmanship."
Sif nods at Lyla's words.
"... Kate, if it's sunny and you're an adventurer, maybe you can beg him to teach you a sword."
"No, no, can you take it...?"
"I don't know unless I try. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Sure, but let's just try it.
You must pass this exam before you can do so.
Reefa Urugal, number four, who passed the primary exam today. Number five, Alihara Kite. I'm ready for the secondary exam... "
The receptionist heard me calling my name because time passed while I was talking. [M]
Kate, let's go.
"Oh, well, Lyla. I'm going because they called me."
Yeah, good luck.
Looking back at her, she went to the reception with a black cat shiff and a lime who was tired and asleep in the exam earlier.
When I checked my name at the reception, I was instructed to go to the waiting room where I was first guided, so when I went to the waiting room as I was told,
"Mm."
"... er..."
Rifa was already sitting in the waiting room, wondering when the reception was over.
He's still wearing a hood, but he looks at me like he's worried.
"---What about the real one just now....."
In the meantime, when I tried to talk to him about the continuation of the story earlier, the door that I had just entered opened, and a woman who looked like an Alliance employee came out of the outside.
"Oh, they're all here, aren't they? It's a little early, but we're ready, so let's start the interview."
"Yeah, yeah."
"... I don't mind at any time"
I don't think I can ask Reefa about this right now.
"Well, first of all... Alihara Kate. I'm going to interview you first, so please follow me. Ah, if you're a demon, you can't participate, so please wait in this room."
Hmm? Am I first? [M]
Since neither Shif nor Lime could attend the interview, they asked me to wait in the room, and I was taken by the staff woman to the room where the interview would be conducted.
"Go ahead."
In front of the door in the guided room, I took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but before that, the staff woman opened the door and prompted me to go inside.
... that's not the interview I was expecting.
When I entered the room thinking that way,
"Hi, you're here."
"Huh? Mr. Berse?"
A long wooden table with chairs.
One of them was Berse, the leader of the guild, sitting with a gentle smile.
"In the meantime, you should get to your seat."
"Yes, yes."
I didn't expect the Guild Leader to be in charge of the interviewer himself. I sat down in a daze.
First of all, congratulations on passing the primary exam.
"Ah, thank you."
"Did you hear that? Looks like you stood up against Rick. He praised you, too."
It is illuminated by pure compliments.
It's not the interview I imagined. No, I think it's wrong to assume that it's the same as the original world interview.
"There were a few circumstances that led me to interview you myself. Yeah, you can relax your shoulders. Simply answer the questions I'm going to ask."
"Yes, yes."
Mr Berse, who smiled bitterly, made me start the interview with a soft tone.
"First of all, I see...."
The content of the question was incredibly simple.
What do you want to do as an adventurer, what did the kingdom think, all relatively easy to answer, and if you insist, what food do you like? The question was difficult to answer.
Yeah, that's all for the interview.
"... eh, is this enough?"
"I know it sounds simple, but this question makes a lot of sense. Overall, I can measure your personality and your suitability for adventurers."
... like a psychological test?
I don't know what the criterion is, but I'm worried that you're giving me a weird answer.
Anyway, is this the end of my interview?
"It's supposed to end here... but you have another story to tell me."
Huh?
"Kite-kun. Answer the questions I'm about to ask you honestly."
"Ha, yes...."
Even though the interview was supposed to be over, Berse is now experiencing an even more pressing atmosphere.
Stretching out my spine, I swallow raw saliva.
"Your name is Alihara Kite. So there's no mistake?"
"Huh? Yes... but what is it?"
"Really? It's not a pseudonym, right?"
"Um, yes. It's an important name my parents gave me."
Why did you give me my name again?
I gave Rifa a pseudonym, but the name Arihara Kaihu is definitely my name.
When she answered without any particular doubt, Berse murmured, "I see..."
To tell you the truth, I had a hunch.
"What is it?"
"There is no way a mere boy can enter the ruins of Orochi, where the magic tricks are tied. If it's not a magic trick, it's natural to think that you were in the ruins from the beginning, not into the ruins."
"......!"
They know you lied to Berse and the others...!?
It is true that I deceived him, even if there were circumstances that he could not speak of.
"Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you. Rather, I understand your situation very well."
"My situation?"
I leaned my neck to Berse, who laughed kindly.
"Kite-kun. Do you know anything about the Warrior Summon?"
"Yeah, yeah, you taught me the other day."
I remember it very well because it may be related to us.
Certainly, the hero of the kingdom was chosen, but his name hasn't been revealed.
"The Summon Warrior was held a short while ago in this kingdom and the Kingdom of Philgen, and two warriors were chosen. I have not been informed of the heroes here, but the heroes of the Kingdom of Filgen have been disclosed to some extent due to slightly different circumstances."
……
I'm not stupid enough to be overheard.
The Brave Summon Monster and my name-- no, I want to know why.
