Yes, I finally did it! It's the day of the exciting Forest Survival Games!
Wake up a lot earlier than usual and take Max on a carriage to the local Farn Forest before it gets dark.
Max is used to early rising expeditions, but this is my first time as Gladys. When I was in Zachariah, I was sick and tired of taking the big escorts with me, but I still feel that it has not changed much just because it has become smaller.
I decided not to think about the followers as if they were too enthusiastic parents, and I spent the night last night in the mood of a child going on a total excursion. Besides, they're all gymnastics uniforms designated by the school this time, so it seems like they're extra.
"I'm really looking forward to it."
Max is impressed with raw warm eyes.
"Yeah, I'm going to win today, but the main thing is to have a lot of fun."
"After all, why don't you join us?
Even just before, Max checked to make sure he was worried.
"If I join you, I'll be unilaterally protected and not a game."
It's also effective as a strategy to win, but it doesn't seem interesting at all. I think a clan with a champion and a third place in the tournament is pretty malicious.
Since the starting point is separate in the first place and there is no means of communication, meeting each other becomes the first difficulty. It is up to the luck of the lottery to start from a nearby location.
Yeah, but there's Noah, and he's got a mysterious information network that lets him know where we are.
For my part, I want to focus on the crispy way forward rather than trying to meet a specific party.
"Well, it depends on the situation at that time. If we go further, we may run into each other by chance."
Don't push me.
School events are also held today, and private security guards, such as those usually attached to VIP students, are forbidden to enter. Max doesn't seem to be able to wipe out his anxiety. It's only a few days since the incident, so I can't help it.
"I don't have a personal escort, but I can't leave my colleagues, and the school is doing everything in its power to keep my students safe. Max, focus on yourself."
It's more strict than usual security.
While lying still, I arrived at the temporary parking space. The magic lights are lit up.
I'm not afraid to walk, but it's going to take a little longer until dawn.
Max, who got off earlier, took my hand and put it down on the ground, with his face still frowning.
Even if you look like you're breaking up this lifetime...
I couldn't leave him alone and hugged him so as to reassure him.
Max floats his hands in trouble.
"Is this okay?
Fine, if it's a hug.
I don't think I can do that anymore.
"So, do you want to stop?
I don't like that either.
A gentle hug returns, whilst murmuring.
"Really, don't make me worry any more."
"Fufufu, I will do good."
That's all I can say. I'm not always in trouble because I want to. Depending on the situation, I can't guarantee it because I sometimes have to, but I don't have to be honest about it.
"What the hell are you guys doing? You're flirting before a serious match!
A group of hunters just arrived and came stray.
Guy tries to drop a chop on my head, but Max naturally prevents it.
"It's just before the battle that you get to know your family. Guy's not gonna do it?
"I'm not saying I'm creepy. Can you do that in your family?"
"That's impossible!
Guy and Jade's brothers and sisters all deny it with their blatant reluctance. The rest of the group reacted almost the same way.
It's too common for a hunter family to grow up in a big family, and you don't know how grateful the family is.
From the thick sticky family at first sight, I was a lonely orphan all over the world during the Zachariah era, and I still lived a Bureau life. That's how happy it is for me to be sweetened by my family.
"Well then, let's go. Daniel, don't get hurt."
"Ugh, see you guys later."
The hunter team, which already had members, set Daniel aside and headed straight to the tent where the wizards were.
I saw a bit of Berta in the group of knights and magicians who looked so powerful. He followed me in a hurry and came to pardon me.
Oh, it's going to be tough on them. Or is it unexpectedly compatible with this child because it is thick and unexpected?
I waved my hand to see you through anyway.
"Gladys, this way!
There were several queues in front of the tent, and Yuka waved from one row. We already have Viola, Sonia, and Tilda.
"Oh, well, then, we'll go too."
"Oops, I don't think he's here yet, so I'll wait here. Be careful."
"Yeah."
I'll break up with Max and meet everyone at the party.
Now we're all gathered.
There are tents at the assembly area for the people involved and the guests, and the lighting is perfect. I can see the surroundings well.
First of all, under the Magic Master, it is an arrangement where each person can cast a defensive magic.
Many court magicians have been mobilized for the safety of the participants because of the full cooperation of the country in the school events.
Quite a line.
"It's too late! It would be troublesome if the starting point was too far away."
Tilda complains and draws me and Daniel into the line.
Looking at the tip of my row, I felt a little slow.
Troy was playing tricks on a girl student, chatting with her in a really fun way. It's very quick when a man is against him. Don't be so impressed.
I know you're good at it, but you should have put it in a different row.
"Hey Gladys! You're still doing your fateful job today. I'll be right there. Just a minute."
Troy also noticed and waved his hand. You can do it right away! Just focus on the job at hand!
"Your party is so beautiful that it's rewarding."
The order came, and she said happily, playing defensive magic one by one. Apparently, entertainment outweighs work.
"Ah, Yuka. It's a real battle opportunity, so don't hesitate to try new tricks."
In Yuka's turn, he seems to be the substantive person in charge of development, and has given advice that is also true.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it!
Yuka answers with a full answer. The results of the training seem to be going well. I'm a little jealous.
Finally, my turn comes, and Troy takes my hand.
Unexpectedly, he looks cool.
"I've been worried about that for a while, but that's only when you're a girl, right?
"I can't do it unless it's this useful! I will serve you and pay special attention to you."
"Just be normal!
In a very clear reply, I shook my hand away.
I really think that school management should take measures to keep this sexually harassing bastard away from girls. Where's the guardian? I'm sure it's a tough Knights assignment today, so are you guarding the forest? The guards are weak enough to handle him!
"You don't have to."
I didn't feel bad, but I finished the work very well. If you can do it, why don't you do it, damn it!
Good luck ~
Ignore the careless backup and move on to the next step.
Same as always.
Yuka disappeared and leaked a word.
