After that, Porch and I made a selection and decided on four magics to put in the scepter of the water dragon.

By the time I got back to the Pochizzery store, it was totally midnight. Back in the room with space transfer magic, we immediately tried to climb to the floor. But unlike Porch, who immediately laid to sleep, I couldn't sleep inside.

Porch's belly pillow feels good with sharks as usual, but I'm still curious about future policies.

Even if you move around based in Bailanaea, the amount of information is still inferior to that of the King's capital Regalia. I thought I'd be able to work with Melky, but I didn't think they'd use the magic of blocking communications.

It's intelligent to say that, but I can't help saying that. God's use said. "Drill," he said. Now that you've reached level 100, what you need to learn is your experience and knowledge in combat, and earn a good title.

If it's a battle system title, you'll be able to earn it while you're at it, so should we boil it down from there first?

The title I want you to hit is... Is it a rank S title? Well, that would give you more information, and it would make it possible to increase the funding for the Pochizzery Store. Why don't you talk to Duncan tomorrow?

I thought so. When I finally tried to surrender myself to drowsiness, I felt a wiggle of magic outside the room.

This quiet and gentle feeling............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"... Lina?

In response to a slightly audible yes, I got up and stood up. Well, I heard you were staying at college, but you said you came home after cleaning up your job.

I walked quietly to the door and slowly opened my footsteps so I wouldn't wake up.

Then, just like what had happened in one day's inn, Lina stood holding a cane and happily broke her face.

Closed the door behind her back, Lina took a step back and welcomed me. Actually, it was me who welcomed him, but somehow I felt that way.

"Um, cane, thank you"

I was surprised at the deep lowering of my head.

"No, no, you should thank Mr. Gaston, not me."

"And, of course, there's that, but without Mr. Azley, this wouldn't have happened."

"That's not true. Does that mean Lina's hard work has been appreciated?

Lina's cheeks tremble on my words. What a dazzling face it is to say it's dark in the middle of the night.

With that in mind, Lina looked at me again when she made up her mind. I see. Are you serious?

I sent Lina an eye contact and waved to talk in the dining room upstairs.

Lina nodded slowly as she walked behind me to the dining room on the ground floor.

Sitting in the chair opposite her, Lina put her hand on her chest and exhaled deeply.

"... Um, Mr. Azley, I... will be joining the Wang Du Guardian Magic Corps"

I would have been quite surprised if I hadn't heard from Gaston.

I guess Lina was anticipating when to say it. Given Lina's personality, I guess she doesn't want to talk about it in her pronouncement contact.

I was going to see when you and I could be alone and talk. It's not that I didn't intend to talk about it.

I felt relieved for some reason when I thought about it. At the same time, the body reacted, leaking nature and breath.

"... well. I believe Lina can do it. There's Fuyu over there."

"I... I'm not even under Mr. Azley's feet yet. So join the King's Capital Guardian Magic Regiment to build strength. And when the Demon King showed up, I... wanted to help Mr. Azley."

Stuck in words............

Not in Lina's new statement of determination. To Lina's sincere feelings.

I can't imagine it because God told me to use it, my own will. I could have been deluded for a reason without knowing it and renounced my will.

That's why I couldn't say a word.

This night, Lina's will... rocked mine.

My students grow up without knowing. I feel like that growth is pushing my back so hard.

"Me too... because I can't lose either"

When she finally squeezed out her reply, Lina was leaning her little neck and peeking into my face.

And at that time, Lina's cheeks were stained with cherry blossoms all at once. Is it because of the relaxation and relief?

When the clouds moved and the moonlight lit up Lina, I noticed Lina's change.

Lina's clothing has changed from her usual black robe to a brightly colored and beautiful cherry blossom color, just like her cheeks.

"... beautiful..."

"Heh!?

It was the moment when the cherry blossoms were boiled to zero words by accident.

Lina ran out of the room to escape my gaze, covering her burning face with both hands.

Lina's last voice heard over the dining room door was, "Ma, you can't lose!" in reply to my earlier words.

Then when I finished listening to the footsteps running up the stairs, I held my head to scratch down .

"……………………………………………… I did it"

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The next day I was visiting the Adventurer Guild with Porch and talking to Duncan pouring booze at the counter.

"Rank s promotion review hey...... It's not that I can recommend Pom Pom Pom because it's level 100, so it's hard right away ~? Azree can safely recommend it, because Azree doesn't digest that much of the request herself just at the level... You're right that if I simply say it, I can't recommend it because I don't have enough experience than the level. Blank's a little empty."

"I knew you were right -. I get it. It's a bit of an adventure, so let me introduce you to a high-difficulty request."

"I'm sorry the Master said I was (selfish)!

"Ugh, I get it. Oh, take this to table C."

Duncan put the poured liquor on the tray and let the young girl's waitress hold it.

That, this kid sure... lives with me in a Pochizzly store. Isn't that Itsuki? No, definitely. He laughed at me and said hello.

Duncan told me when I was chasing him hard to carry the tray with his little body.

"These days, they come to work for us instead. Ugh, I also use these kinds of good offices ~?"

"Ha, I'm surprised"

"Really! I didn't think Itsuki was here!

"The adventurer who comes to us and can be trusted is letting me introduce him to the job. Because they're kids, wages can't be that high, but the kids in Colorful Eating District are workers, so they're doing their best, right? You have a good reputation, and I'm here to help."

... Was it? The children's energy really helps. That innocent, cute smile is just.

I kind of feel like I know that every adventurer takes the initiative and uses it for work.

"Well, that was an introduction to your work. Azley is now rank A, so…………… how about this?

The requisition Duncan showed me was about the monster crusade.

A Rank B monster, the "Cerberus Worm" nest, exists southeast of Bailanaea and east of the "Giant Passage," asking me to crusade this.

Cerberus worm...... a monster with a giant mite on three necks. When you look at a Rank B monster as a Rank A request, do you mean that it is not stand-alone?

I showed Duncan my willingness to receive it and asked him to look at other high-difficulty requests near Beilanea.

Maximum of three requests. It is efficient to take everything possible and then report it.

Fortunately, I can get back to my room twice as fast as I can with space transfer magic.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"So... what other requests did you get for Cerberus Worm?

"That sounds like a rare Rank A monster these days, and I only have to ask for Rank B. I came to take it for money, but it's all a simple favor for us right now."

Porch, the demon of use, is responsible for the search for monsters.

After all, the nose of the beast is sharp. If you go to the requested location and start exploring the monster, it will be surprisingly easy to find.

That's not why the monster crusade outside the main Cerberus worm was over by the time we got near the Giant's passage.

"Hey, from here to the east, you're the enemy."

"Aww!"

More than a dozen minutes after this instruction to Porch, Porch's nose snapped.

I thought it would smell like a monster, but it looks different to see Porch's face.

"... what's up?

"People, right? Very high fighting power. I think he's a warrior."

"All right, let's stay alert and get close. If you're like a burglar, you should take them down. Ho ho ho, allup count 2 & remote control!

Overwriting physical improvement magic, we relied on Porch's nose and ears to move on.

And when Porch's nose moved again, Porch instantly became huge, informing me of the danger sooner than he spoke out.

"Master, be ready to escape at any time! Quite a few!

Porch's stripping fangs and sharp eyes informed me of the danger and made me prepare for battle.
