The season was in autumn.

When the hasty school festival also passed and a paragraph was made.

On the day off, watching the book over a cup of tea in the school cafeteria, several female students took her up and came under me.

"Morning, Seika. May I have a moment?"

"Hmm? Oh, good morning. To Amu, to Efa, to Mabel..."

The first thing I noticed was the usual three women.

However, there was another female student figure for today.

I make a smile and speak to the girl. [M]

"Mr. Storland, too. That's unusual, I can't believe you're with those three."

"Yes...... good morning, Mr. Lamplog"

The beautiful girl, with long, wheat-hot hair, has so modestly returned a greeting.

Saisha Storland is the maid of the Earl of Storland family.

Although it is about the same as my house, my substantial stature is higher over there for having a majority in the Imperial Council.

Finally, she was also a classmate.

Though I've barely talked about it.

I look around at them and open my mouth.

"Uh, what's wrong?

"You know, Seika..."

"No, it's okay, Mr. Eefa. I'll talk to you myself."

Saisha blocked Efa from saying something.

Then look at me and say.

"Lamprog, I need a favor from you."

"Please?"

"Yes, actually, I dropped an important ring the other day... so I was wondering if you could look for Lamplog"

"Huh... how could you do that to me?

"Lamplog, everyone says that you would be able to do more or less anything..."

"Am I being told that!?

I've certainly done a lot of things since I enrolled in school.

Still, that's a big difference compared to last year, when you had no magic falls or pussies.

"Can't you do something for me...?

"You used fortune hunting last year to win a treasure hunt, didn't you? Do it all the time. I'll help you too."

"Hey Amu, don't say that too much. It wasn't against the rules, but it was never something to be praised for... Well, fine. Okay."

Smile and nod to Saisha.

That would be good.

There is usually fortune in this world, and they don't know it when they show it using the divination technique of a previous life.

It's as cheap as finding a lost item. Do you decide to sell favors to the Countess here?

"So, where did Mr. Storland drop that ring?

"Uh, the..."

Saisha mumbles like it's hard to say.

"It was in the school that I dropped it. It's just... it's flowing down the waterway..."

"... Huh?

I just have a bad feeling about it.

Know my heart or not...... no, I'm sure you would have guessed from the look on my face, but the girl with the classy atmosphere said it out of mercy.

"I'm sure it's sinking into the bottom of the Rodney underground sewer now,"

****

In the basement of the Empire's big cities, there is more or less a vast sewer through.

The Empire, of course, is in Rodney.

He said he collects all kinds of drainage and dirt into one stream and runs them into nearby rivers.

Remembering that fact, I say.

"I can't."

"Why?"

"Why not? You know, it's weird that you say that."

I sigh and say to Amu, who frowns.

"Even you should know. The underground sewer is the territory of the Adventurer Alliance."

Some monsters also appear in the sewer.

Monster carcasses become a resource. I mean, it's the gold.

In addition, sewers often have items of value flowing through them, such as coins and metals.

In the name of Dob or so, it would be less gold if they could be recovered.

That was the reason why adventurer guilds were commissioned by city councils in many cities and were responsible for managing sewers.

It is also a place where runaway adventurers get food for life.

"Isn't that totally the realm of adventurers? I don't know what ordinary people would say if they walked into a place like that on their own. I'm sorry, Mr. Storland, but I can't help you. If you really want to find it, make a formal request to the Alliance. It's unlikely we'll find it..."

"No, I already made a request to the Alliance once. There were adventurers who ordered it."

"... so you couldn't find it? Then give it up..."

"No, that's... he didn't come home."

"... what?

I blink my eyes. [M]

"He said he didn't come home... is there an adventurer's party? It was the underground sewer that dived, wasn't it? Not dungeons or woods."

"Oh, he didn't come back from the sewer."

Amu takes it and says.

"Normally, a monster in the sewer is nothing but a rat or bat or a slime-based miscellaneous fish, but it still happens to people every once in a while. But not this one... Thanks, it looks like there are a lot of monsters out there. Later, the party we dived to search for will retrieve only some of our gear. He said there were no bones left."

"... isn't that a good idea? Underneath the city. If you come out on the ground..."

"So now it looks like the Alliance is planning a massive invasion for sweep. But I don't know when that will be, and when it does, it won't be at the ring anymore. That's why he asked us to dive into the guild while we were at it. Then, yes. I think you owe it to Mom and Dad's references."

I can't stand Amu, who says it's obvious. [M]

"Are you insane that we're the only ones diving into the sewer where there's a lot of monsters?

"Why not? We'll be fine!

Amu says it without any doubt.

"I'm defeating Demons and Black Naga, and Mabel is in the top four martial arts tournaments in Teito. Even Efa busted Rava Tiger in the summer and caught a bad summoner, right?

"Yes, but..."

"And it's you. In the underground dungeons of Rodney, the Goblins will be defeated and won in the Imperial City Games, and then you won't be able to reach the Dragons."

……

"There's nothing we can't do if we throw a party!

Amu laughed more and said.

I sigh.

Young man overconfident. I don't even doubt my potential shards.

Seriously, it was bad enough that it was accompanied by strength.

I shake my head sideways. [M]

"No, it's too dangerous. I disagree."

"Uh."

Ignore the disgruntled amu and I will tell Saisha.

"That's why I'm not going to be able to help. Sorry. You should give up the ring and buy a new one."

"... it was an engagement ring."

I unwittingly closed my mouth to those words that I was told to whisper.

Saisha keeps pounding.

"As for last year, it was given to me by my pardon daughter-in-law, and it was one in which very rare gems were used. But at the school festival crowd the other day..."

"That's... I guess I had no choice. My fiancée will understand."

"Actually, he was on the spot, and he said the same thing. But... I don't know if his house would say the same..."

"... what do you mean?

"He was a Marquis, and my relationship with him was decided from an early age. But his grandfather said he hadn't felt comfortable with this conversation the whole time that he should have had a better person. If you find out you've lost your rare engagement ring, you may be angry and compel your lord or my father to break it."

……

"As far as I'm concerned... that's something I'd like to avoid at any rate. I'm not in a position to have freedom in marriage, but now, I can't think of anyone else but him. So... please, Mr. Lamplog. Will you find my precious ring?"

"Hmmm......"

I don't know what to do, it's so hard to say no.

But I...

"Seika. Help him."

That's what I said, Mabel, who kept quiet all the time.

Unexpectedly looking at her, Efa, standing beside her, opens her mouth.

"You know, Seika-kun. I said to help Mr. Saisha the first time, Mabel."

"Huh... why?

"I want to help someone, too"

Mabel looks at me and says:

"But I can't do this alone. So I want Seika to help me too."

"Yep...... hmm"

"Please, you saved my life."

Then Amu and Efa say it orally.

"Isn't that good, Seika? You helped me, too."

"Wow, about me."

"I don't know..."

"Mr. Lamplog. I beg you again."

Sasha puts her hand on her chest.

"I'll be sure to thank you. I also ask the Earl of Lamplog to send a thank-you note from my father..."

"Huh..."

I sighed heavily. [M]

"... Okay, I get it"

"Oh really!?

Saisha flashed her face happily.

Although Yuki is silent... they're going to say it's sweet again.

"Thanks, Seika"

"Fine. Well, it's quick, but let's get started."

When I answered Mabel, I pulled the map of the city from under the books I had loaded.

It's just what I was borrowing from the library.

"Huh. What are you, anticipating this...?

"Is that why? I was looking into Rodney's history, so I just brought it here."

The timing was strange though.

Then I took a pendulum (Pendeyuram) made of cheap rings and chains from my nose and handed it to Saisha.

"Yes."

"Oh, me...?

"Yeah. Mr. Storland is the one who wants the ring the most, so you better do it yourself"

"But I have a sense of fortune…"

"I'll help you, it's okay. Drop that pendulum over the map first."

Drop the ring pendulum on top of the spread map, as Saisha was told.

"Then think of what you want to look for and remember it strongly."

"Yes, sir"

Saisha closed her eyes all the time.

"Yes, yes. Then stay put, keep your hands as shaken as possible."

As I turned to Saisha's back, I stretched out my arm from behind and grabbed the back of my hand with a pendulum.

And with a curse, I drop my eyes on the map.

"Oh, uh..."

"Let's just look at it from the school."

Slowly move Saisha's luxurious hands.

We'll explore the waterways and the bumps, but there's not one reaction right now.

"Hmm... I thought this neighborhood was dark."

"Well, Mr. Lamplog..."

"Let's look a little further downstream"

I move the pendulum further as I peek into the map over Saisha's shoulder.

Try to explore the center of the city where tributaries are supposed to rendezvous, but after all, there's no response.

"... that's crazy. Even if it flowed out of the city, there's usually got to be some reaction to the path I followed. Mr. Storland, are you concentrating properly?

"Oh, ugh..."

"Seika-kun"

When I accidentally turned to my voice, Efa looked at me with a cold eye.

"Hey, aren't you too close?

"What..."

"Where are you touching me?"

He stares at me half-eyed to Amu.

"No, I only touched my hand..."

In retrospect, I closed my mouth when I noticed the slightly reddish side of Saisha.

Stay away, pinch your desk and go around to the front.

"I'm sorry. They say they're there too, but they don't take it into account enough"

"No, it's fine..."

"It just doesn't work without touching my hands. Excuse me for a second."

"Ah, yes. Please…"

On Saisha's hand, he put it on so that he could cover his fingertips.

As I continue my divination, I reflect secretly.

... That was close indeed. He was dressed like a hug from behind.

I don't think it's a good idea, but when I talk to these kids, I treat them like children.

It was a complete remnant of it, because in the previous life I took care of my disciples for some time even after they had surrendered.

I am a child now, and I must behave accordingly. [M]

Now Cysha could also concentrate, and the pendulum began to react around the school and around the city.

And as we follow the mainstream of the sewer, the swing suddenly increases in one respect.

"... it looks like it's here"

"Really? Good for you, Mr. Saisha! Looks like it's still in town."

"Yes, good. I was also prepared that it had already been flushed..."

"But if it rains and there's more flow, I don't know. Before that happens, shall we just go!

"At least make it tomorrow. Even you guys are ready. I will also check the structure of the underground sewer…"

Amu nodded with a full grin when I was stunned.

"See you tomorrow!

... That's a wolf, the Amu one.

I guess it's been a long time since I've had an adventure.

It just seemed too floating and I was a little anxious.
