─ ─ Odette viewpoint ─

As Yuki and the others began to move to the goal...

"... that's crazy"

Odette stopped in the aisle of the dungeon.

"There are too many demons, no matter how much."

Odette was going down the street on the route written on the map.

Yet every time I bend down the aisle, I encounter demons.

To goblins, giant rabbit Large Rabbit. Earlier, Darkwolf attacked me with three heads together.

It's too hard for a trainee orientation, although he's managed to take it down.

"And... here for sure... near the second tier...?

In front of me, there was a hall with high ceilings.

I've heard of Odette before. Near the second tier of the giant dungeon "Elusion," there used to be a large hall used for some ritual, he said.

Sometimes when you use flashy magic near it, a lot of demons appear.

"You're not coming to this place in orientation. You must have gone the wrong way."

Odette turned his gaze to Teres-Michle, the countess standing behind him.

"Excuse me, Mr. Therese. Again, can you show me the map?

"Odette."

"There's no need for 'sama'. We're equal, aren't we?

"Could you please abstain from the orientation? Odette-Sray."

Ignoring Odette's words, Countess Therese said.

"Hit the armband and cast a spell, and the rescue will be here soon... you better gib it up now"

"I have more than half the time left. If you look at the map again, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Give it up...... please"

Therese told him, hiding his expression with a long forehead.

"Otherwise, you're in danger. Odette..."

"Danger?"

"... 'Magic Guild' doesn't mean it's completely neutral either. If the Duke pays, he can give you a fake map… and direct you to a dangerous hall close to the second level of" Erución "…"

"─ What are you talking about!?

Odette took a step, toward Therese-Michle.

Therese falls back, as she fears Odette.

"You are... my partner, aren't you?"

"So I'm advising you..."

"Advice?"

"The 'Sorcery Guild' is not a gathering of saint princes. Some trainees replace the map of orientation with a fake one, without exposing you to the superior nobility, and invite you into a dangerous land…"

Countess Therese lifted her forehead and looked at Odette.

I had tears.

"So understand. Where you left us, you're not free to live as a magician. Give it up and follow house policy. Odette-Sray..."

"What's the house policy... no way!?

"... the traditional Duke of Slay family cannot be overlooked by other houses. If the other family has succeeded in their political marriage, if we don't do it, I want you to remind your daughter that you don't know that."

A faint voice rang in the hall of the dungeon.

Countess Therese continues to speak distracted from Odette.

"I'm sure the Dukes will do the same until they serve their purpose. also, already, give it up. Odette."

"... Your father put pressure on other nobles? Do you mean you crossed the map and led me here?

Odette raised her voice unexpectedly.

In my head comes the text of a letter my father sent me.

My father is trying to get Odette to marry politically in order to stake out with the other Dukes.

To this end, the duration of the commitment was reduced to six months.

That father would...... turn his hand to intermediate and lower aristocracy and be as fine as obstructing Odette.

"Interfering with orientation... are you going to drop my rating? To keep me from being a C-class magician..."

"The 'Magic Guild' also has children for convenient use by senior aristocrats…"

"... that's an annoying story"

Odette looked back and began to return the way he came.

"I will return to my starting point. Don't call for rescue, do as you please."

"I can't. Odette."

Therese-Michle shook his head sideways.

"Ha, I have the right map. Instead of goals, you wouldn't even know the way back, would you? Please, abstain... Mr. Odette"

"Just follow your memories back."

Odette declared against his chest.

"To this extent...... there's nothing compared to that guy who defended the village with his life. If you give up because you're lost, he'll laugh at you."

"Cucu"

Unexpectedly, there was a voice in Odette's ear.

I didn't realize.

Soon, a little bat stuck on Odette's shoulder.

"─ What about you!?

"Cu, cu"

The bat looked at Odette with his neck clenched.

The wings are painted... something like a crest. Definitely. It's Yuki's demon.

"Maybe you came looking for me?

"Cu"

"On the way home, do you understand?

Cocksucking.

Bats nodded, as if they understood Odette's words.

"You're Mr. Dick...... No, you're Mr. Neil, aren't you? Somehow I understand."

"(Cocksucking)"

"Well, I'd like directions, please"

"Odette. Well!

Behind Odette, who was about to run out, Therese-Michle shouted.

"Give it up… The Sorcery Guild has enemies of the Duke's house!

"There are some comforting allies."

A Yuki figure floats behind Odette's brain.

He told me, I remember the previous life.

From the "Church of the Sanctuary," Yuki in his previous life apparently defended the villagers with his life.

I don't know the details.

But that must be amazing, and Odette needs to be more prepared than he can imagine.

So both Iris and Rhodelia of the 'Grail Chamber of Commerce' have pledged their allegiance to him.

Well, the person in question is floating.

"In front of that guy, I tried to be a magician. But I gave up because there was interference with my parents' house, can you say something like that?"

Odette smiled invincibly.

"I see magic as something that makes people happy. I want to use it more than I was born with that talent. Political marriage... well, I'll think about it when I'm tired of magic."

"... is that right?"

Teres-Michle's fingers painted a crest in the air.

Being attacked - I thought so - Odette unfolds the prepared 'Against the Magic Barrier'.

─ ─ But Telles-Michelle didn't aim for Odette.

"Activated…" Flash Bomb ""

From Therese's fingers, a sphere of light was fired.

It thrust through the hall… flashing at the end of the hallway and sounding a huge explosion.

"Now, the demons will gather. Odette."

"Someone named you!

"That's what I got instructions for. Sorry......"

Therese-Michle is shaking with his head in his arms.

The next moment, the footsteps sounded.

From the end of the aisle, multiple demons approach.

Lizardman, a weaponized lizard who inhabits the first tier.

A pitch-black beast hunting for prey without herds - DarkWolf.

Some ghosts, some skeletons with weapons.

"Odette will be able to defeat you...... but will you retain your strength and magic?

"... Therese-Michle"

"Please call for rescue. If you hadn't gibbed yourself up..."

"Cucu"

Suddenly, from Odette's shoulder, Neil the bat jumped up.

Straight as it was, he flew toward the end of the aisle, toward the demon, spreading his wings.

And...

Cucu... Cu.

Bosch!

From Neil's wings, a giant fireball was fired.

"" - Huh?

In front of Odette, the fireball flew up the aisle.

DOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Involved the demons and blew them up.

"'' Geaaaaaaaaaaa!!

The demons gathered in the aisle could not avoid the fireball.

All intact, swallowed up by a giant flame, burning out.

"... yes, that's..." Red Lotus Star Bullet (Burning Meteo) "used by Alek-Keels... right? You're Yuki's demon, aren't you? Why? Huh? Huh?"

"Yu, yuki-grossalia user demon!?

Bikun, and Therese-Michle glanced at him.

"The one who made me an ordinary son of the Baron family, became the escort knight of His Highness Iris-Leastia, and defeated the intermediate mage Alek-Keirth......!?

"Ah, here he is."

You must have seen the magic unleashed by the demon who used it.

From across the aisle, a yuki running with Iris on his back.

Cracks along the way - Yuki landed in front of Odette, lightly jumping over a huge ground crack that runs down to the third basement.

"I saw Neil use the Red Lotus Star Bullet (Burning Meteo), but something happened?

"... well, a lot"

Odette was unintentionally answering.

Telles-Michelle nodding on the floor doesn't even look up anymore.

I couldn't stop Odette, and I called in Yuki and Iris.

Therese's mission was a complete failure.

I'll explain what happened.

That's how Odette started explaining.

─ ─ That my father wants to marry himself politically.

─ ─ That Odette would fail in the 'Sorcery Guild' for that matter.

─ ─ On that order, Telles-Michelle switched maps, directed herself to places where there are many demons, etc.

"... in the orientation of the 'Sorcery Guild', that's what...?

Hearing about Odette, Iris looked at Therese-Michle.

She has a majestic look as a royal princess,

"Then explain it out of your mouth. Do what you did. About this plan. All"

"Forgive me! Your Highness Iris!!

Therese-Michle sat down and struck his head on the floor.

".............................. I can't give you any details. If I speak out of my own mouth... my Count's house..."

"I guess Telles-Michel couldn't resist a request from the Duke's house"

Unexpectedly, Odette was running his mouth.

There is no deflection if you put it into words. It's really ridiculous.

It's bullshit, as much as it makes me want to sympathize with Telles-Michelle when I get the request.

".................. I'm sorry Odette. His Highness Iris......"

"In the name of Iris-Leastia, I order an investigation into this matter."

Iris declared.

"It is unacceptable that this was being done in an orientation where trainees explore 'Elusion' for the first time. Besides, I can't believe I put Odette in danger..."

"... Oh, Your Highness Iris"

"Your father's name may appear on the table... you don't mind. Odette."

"As Your Highness pleases"

Odette tried to kneel in front of Iris, staying put, hands on the ground.

I couldn't help my legs.

Unexpectedly, I laugh.

I can't believe I was really scared to keep such a strong line in my mouth.

"If Yuki hadn't come, he might have been crying."

"I found Odette because of His Highness, Iris."

"His Highness's?

"... we're just talking here."

Yuki whispered,

"The princess is stressed, so don't ask me if I want to do 'Alice the Villager'. I couldn't help it, so I was moving around talking in a previous life position. But you can't let the others find you, can you? So I picked a place where people wouldn't go, and I scouted the bats."

"... eh"

"Then I was concerned about Odette, and he finally asked me to look for him. If you're in a pinch, give me instructions to use magic. So, nothing to be thankful for... hey, Odette?

"... pup. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I couldn't stand it.

Odette held her stomach and laughed off.

I can finally feel it.

The fact that Yuki's previous life was the patron saint of the village and Iris was its people is no doubt true.

I'm sure Yuki was too sweet a patron saint.

Because Iris will do everything he can to make this request come true.

"... sounds silly. Politically married, my father and I are giving everything we can for the Duke's family... it seems silly."

"Hey. Odette. Are you okay?"

"You know, Yuki"

"Oh."

"If I get a chance, will you make me your villager too?

The words were spoken naturally.

"... if one day you ever build a village like you used to."

"... don't bother with that"

"... are you in trouble?

"... because with more, it's hard to take care of"

"... how many are there already?

"... there are two confirmed. There's another one who's going to be a villager if I talk to him. If you put in half a human being, there's four of you."

"... about one more person, that's fine."

"... I'd like to see more immortality."

"... that's a village with high levels!?

"... No, I really don't have an eye for immortality."

"... Really, you too. When I come with you, I'm done."

I can't stop laughing and crying.

But it's neat.

Yuki is interested in people, but not in positions.

That's the opposite of Odette's father, who is obsessed with status and mentz... which is why it's preferable, which is why it's dangerous.

(… unless I give you my support so that this person may live in peace in this world. That's about all I have to use for my status as Duke's Lady.)

Even if it doesn't help in combat power, Odette should be above it in real life processing power.

Somehow, I feel like I've decided on a policy for the future, and I'm still laughing.

"I will take Therese-Michle with me. Let's finish the orientation. His Highness Iris."

Odette knelt at Iris' side.

"Please keep your heart open about what my father did. The House of the Duke of Slay is a royal subordinate, and I should be ashamed of the injustice he has done in this Elusion of His Highness."

"I understand. I'm going to talk to General Barnes and Dr. DeMetel... and Brother Cain, a Class B mage."

Iris nodded in the princess's face.

Teres-Michle, who is grounded on that side, doesn't even try to raise his face anymore.

Odette sighed like she was tired.

And then, looking at Yuki's face, he thought a little bit,

"Speaking of which, Odette. Do you have time after the orientation?

"You don't have plans for a while, do you?

"Well, will you accompany me on my trip?

"On a trip?

"Once this is cleared up, I'm going to the village near the border to find something. But I'm worried because I haven't been on many trips. If you don't mind, it would help."

Looking at Telles-Michel, Yuki said that.

Somehow, but okay.

(Could Yuki... for me...?

If what Odette's father did comes to light, her surroundings become noisy.

Besides, Telles-Michelle isn't the only one with my father's fingertips.

Other trainees may do something to Odette.

Then Odette should leave the 'Sorcery Guild' for a while.

I guess that's how Yuki is inviting me on a journey.

Because there is no safer place near him in Odette today.

"Okay. We can help you."

"Sorry."

"I'll pay you back the debt. I think reality processing capabilities can help, such as moving and arranging accommodation. That's about all I can beat Yuki."

"Okay. Then, please."

"Let it go."

Odette slapped his chest.

Iris was swelling his cheeks next to Yuki, he decided not to look.

So the four of them moved the dungeon...

They all made it to the goal of orientation.
