In the meantime, Ryer and the others could have been stopped from leaving.

Then the usual banquet was forced - Gaddles and Maxwell were there, so Finia was getting ready and pathetic - and anyway, it finally broke up after midnight.

I also kept the cloud workout on holiday that day, so I can rest my body slowly.

I throw myself in my own bed, exhale the heat of earlier hustle and bustle, and calm my mind.

"Imposing overwork on children can cause them to break their bodies. A modest holiday is a must."

When I put it in my mouth, I felt like Sakuri and Boomerang had stabbed me, but I'm not going to worry about it here.

After taking a breath, he woke up and began to prepare himself to take this opportunity to inspect his gear.

Walk over to the closet with a stepping stone, peel off the top plate inside and take out the tools hidden behind it.

When I work out, I wear black leather jackets and sturdy fabric knee socks to wrap threads around my body, plus spats.

The shoes also wear boots to the bottom of the knee, so there is little skin exposure. Instead, the body lines come out a lot.

This is something Finia looked after, something she had me coordinate with Michelle in anticipation of when she and I were going hunting.

Decorative clothes in the woods get in the way. Moreover, objects with flashy shades are easily noticed by prey.

That's what it means to have a rare black alignment of subjects.

"That said, it's been weirdly hard lately."

Leather jackets are starting to show off everywhere, and blood and dust are creeping into the yarn.

"I can't do that in my jacket, can I? Ask Finia to fix it."

It's impossible for me to put a needle through the leather. Exactly. Even yarn muscle strength aid can't even aid to the power of your fingertips.

I also wear this jacket when I go hunting, so it is easy to ask for repairs.

If they see me, I will repair the marks of battle and blood returns, while I move on to my next task.

Steel threads are only made of thin metal and are severely worn and worn out.

Also, there is dust and blood creeping in between, so I carefully wiped this with oil for servicing as well.

"That said, is this the limit already? We need to get new piano wires."

Rather, piano wire drains too quickly and is inefficient.

In a previous life, a blacksmith procured me a thread of misrills, and he had adjusted it exclusively for me.

Besides, he had five of those yarns per hand and a cage hand that could be built in at least 100 meters per bottle, and he used them regularly.

The weapon is also my symbol...

"Is that it? With that said, what happened to that cage hand?

After I die, my gear can't be gone.

I mean, it shouldn't be weird if my favorite cage hand stays somewhere. Plus, it's supposed to be a six-hero gear. Hard to even think of breaking or melting it into another ingredient.

"Does that mean someone keeps it for me?

The most likely ones are Cortina, who would have rushed back to my end, and Maria, who presumably hung a reincarnation on me.

But there was no such thing in Maria's house, nor in this house of Cortina.

This is my quest for scouts. I'm almost certain it doesn't exist in either house.

"Did Cortina deposit it with Maxwell?

If it's Maxwell's treasure trove, I can't help confirming it.

And the city's most heavily guarded. In this city, no, it's probably the safest storage place in this world.

"But I can't get my hands on it either... I figured I'd take the piano line for a while"

I only show my face in the music room twice a week.

Although ostensibly participation as a club activity, the aim is in fact to procure a sneak piano line.

I was just a little sorry for the music faculty, who were oblivious to the noise that would be produced if they were eager to teach me the instruments.

"If you drain too much, you'll get suspicious. I knew I had to figure out a way to fight that didn't rely on yarn..."

That's where the door to my room knocked. This momentum knock isn't Finia.

Shortly after I made that decision, I heard Guiding Cortina.

"Nicole, are you there?

"Oh, yeah. Wait a minute."

Now my room is littered with hunting black clothes and long stretched piano wires.

Anyway, if it's just black clothes, if they see this thread, there's just no excuse.

I rush to wrap the thread around it, stick it in the box, and then push it under the bed. It may come as a stash, but this is not the place to hide it in earnest, so it is the stash for now.

"Go ahead -"

"I'm sorry, late at night"

"Fine?

Cortina in her pajamas opens the door and comes in.

The dabbling pyjamas have a flickering peek around the chest and navel, and are extremely defenseless.

If I were to remain a man, it wouldn't seem strange to be sent straight to bed.

"Oh, I was fixing up my hunting tools? That's great."

"Not really."

I hid the steel thread, but some hunting clothes in the room, mainly black, remained unattended.

This is not strange to be seen otherwise, so I just didn't hide it.

"Because it was coming apart everywhere."

"Because you and Michelle are working hard. I don't know if it's a little too much."

"There's Retina too, it's okay"

"Oh, well. Nicole's an honorary student."

Thin, supple fingers stroke my head. Her tail, too, was shaking in a good mood.

Apparently, there is no remorse left over from the earlier argument… that you are not looking for me.

"So, what do you want?

"Uh, yeah. Yeah, I was just talking about it. Come on."

I thought you didn't leave any remorse, but didn't you? Cortina waved in panic and denied it because she had the look of my surprise.

"Oh, no? I have no objection to that conclusion. But look, it's gonna take a while to sort out emotions and stuff, okay?

"Yeah."

"So what? Why don't we all take a little trip to the par distraction? Look, there's gonna be a college holiday soon, right? The place is an elf settlement near here. There's a hot spring springing up there."

With that said, I couldn't do it by making a swimming pool for water practice, so the holidays are set for next week.

Besides, there were also attractions in the nearby village of Elf with hot springs.

Cortina would have used that period to think about going on a trip.

"I don't think it's a bad idea. But everyone?

"Me, Nicole and Finia. Later, Michelle and Retina were willing."

"Rye - Daddy won't call?

"Uh, if you call them, they'll be like today."

Lyell isn't a bad alcoholic either, but with Gaddles and Maxwell together, the sharks tend to come off.

Again, buddies, I guess I have something to think about because I've been away for a long time.

"Finia needs to get you some time to rest, too."

"Yeah, I think that's a good idea."

Even today, Finia is fully spinning with chores, cooking, and cleaning laundry as the back. Ever since I've been in this city, I've been practicing swords.

Not to mention tonight's commotion, so you must be getting tired like that.

"Then it's a decision. I want to leave for next week's holiday, so you can talk to Michelle and Retina."

"It's Rikai."

Biscuit salute me, and I'll return the favor.

So the next week, we were supposed to take a little trip.
