The Tutorial Is Too Hard

“She's right. It must have been concealed by the power of magic or artifacts. ”

... What are you talking so casually about?

He did not inform anyone that the wizard was a woman, but took care of her in the name of wanting to treat her alone.

If it was modern society, it would be a suspected sexual molester.

“… what are you looking at me for? You look very suspicious of me. Don't make that face because it's offensive. ”

The wizard was an impressive woman with curly hair coming down over her shoulder.

“By the way, aren't you a little young? I thought you said this wizard was a rider somewhere. Is it possible to be in such a position at such a young age? ”

It's not surprising that the Wizard was hiding his true nature.

I can do it because I'm a wizard.

But the original age looks too young.

He doesn't even look a little younger, and he looks younger than me.

“Looks like you're a disciple of the Maraden Martyrdom. He must have sent his disciple in disguise. ”

The knight who was approaching said.

“Disciple?”

“Yes, I don't know exactly why, but I think he's too old to be a botanist, so he sent a disciple on his behalf. Maybe it's a health problem. ”

“You didn't look that old before? ”

“It's also a makeover. I heard that the actual state of the horse tower is over a hundred years old. ”

You're a very old man.

The mercenary approaches from the sound of the horse and whistles.

“You're quite a beauty. Paladin, were you having fun by yourself? ”

The paladin looks over and wails.

“ * * * *! * * *. * * * * *! ”

What are you talking about?

“What are you saying? ”

“It's an insult. I know it's an ancient language that priests use to insult others with unparalleled circumstances. I don't know what that means. ”

Thanks to the knight's description, I was able to understand the meaning of the mysterious nonsense that the paladin uttered.

It's cursing in the language of the Ancients.

Can't I interpret knowledge skills before Babel? Maybe it's because the skill level is low.

“Oh, my God, I'm going to apologize. Don't even think about it. You're overreacting to jokes, aren't you? No matter how clergy.”

The paladin did not immediately kill Boon, and preached to the mercenaries for many years.

The sermon ended around the time the mercenaries were getting annoyed.

The knight grabs the shoulder of the paladin who finished his sermon.

“Let's not get as close to this wizard as possible from now on. The paladin stood by her for treatment, but it was too dangerous. Please do not approach the wizard individually unless everyone is watching from now on. ”

“… I see. ”

The paladin accepted the words of the knight.

That's not the kind of reaction you'd get if you'd just doubted yourself.

The article explained again whether I read the question on my face.

“It's not just because she's the only woman in the joint. Of course, it's natural for a lady to be trapped in a confined space with a bunch of men. There is a doppelganger in this cavity. Let's not forget that. ”

“I don't understand. What does Doppelgänger have to do with women? ”

”Oh, you don't know that. So what if the Doppelgänger were to overturn the human form and have a relationship with reason? ”

“… what happens? ”

“Life is conceived. Whether it's a man or a woman wearing a doppelganger. The child is certainly a human being, but is also born with the power and identity of a doppelganger. It's even more dangerous to be human if you don't have to steal someone else's image. And the Doppelgängers actively seduce reason as a means of survival and as a means of taxation. ”

... It's really dangerous.

I had a vertical rise in severity for Doppelgänger in my head

A Doppelgänger and a Human are married and a child are born, covered in human form.

Children will grow up again and marry other people and have children.

If this pattern is repeated a few times, it won't be long before a small rural village is full of doppelgangers.

If the Doppelgängers continue to be swarmed, the Doppelgänger may one day own the majority of the population.

I promised everyone that I would do as the driver said, and I started dinner in a slightly uncomfortable atmosphere.

And the next morning, the Wizard woke up.

* * *

The third day of the stage on the 16th floor of the tutorial.

When I was preparing breakfast, the wizard woke up.

As soon as the wizard wakes up, he screams and complains of pain, and the paladin steps out and heals again.

During the Magic Casting, the distraction caused the Magic Power to reverse. It was worse than I thought.

After the pain subsided, the paladin stepped forward and briefly explained what had happened.

The wizard was more embarrassed that his true self was revealed than the story of the paladin.

We said we were fine, but she was trying to use magic in the busan.

The magic failed because of the margins of internal injuries.

The wizard reacted more sensitively to the fact that his true nature was revealed.

I told the story to the wizard who would solve the curiosity because it was inconvenient.

Surprisingly, the wizard barely speaks.

He spoke only in short words, and when he spoke long sentences, he expressed them in writing in a notebook he carried in his bag.

Thanks to this, I needed patience with a long time to listen to her story.

“So, you've been living like a man since you were a kid? Why?”

She says she's been a man ever since she was a Wizard as a child.

You came to the dungeon as a replacement for the Maraden Martyrs because of your natural experience.

When the mercenary questioned that, the wizard wrote diligently in his notebook, trembling at Busan, and then the article appeared.

“Some wizards say there are quite a number of female wizards hiding their gender. There are no restrictions on gender to learn magic, but magic itself is a relic of the nobles. In the past, it was only possible for men to master magic. That climate has been diluted a lot, but conservative wizards still don't trust talented female wizards. Women wizards tend to live as men rather than endure this kind of discrimination. And in her case, she's also a talented magician who, at that young age, pretends to be a horseman without a sense of camouflage, and that's probably the case. Usually when they are just learning magic, they are told that they are hidden by magic or artifacts that can be hidden from the teachers who teach them, and they are hidden by their abilities after they grow up. in her case, with the help of a horseman. It's unfortunate to have to hide your femininity completely socially and live a lifetime, but wizards often make these choices because they don't care as much about romance or marriage or parenting or childbirth as they do about other people. ”

It is also a great explanation.

Can't we take him with us?

To a Pokémon Taunt position.

The wizard nods positively, just as the knight described it.

After hearing the explanation, I wanted to ask her to teach me magic, but the paladin held back.

The person who had been unconscious for two days said he needed more rest, so he decided to wait a little longer.

In my spare time, I created a bathroom and changing room in a common corner with others.

When men were alone, I could change clothes or do business in the corner, but I needed a partition as long as a woman was in it.

* * *

After lunch, everyone sat together in the center of the community.

Now is the time to talk about articles that have become regular post-meal events.

You take out the crackers, eat them for dessert and snacks, and listen to the Knight's Chat.

It was more like a show than just a chat.

The knight described the story with exaggerated movements like a comedian onstage.

The content was quite interesting, so everyone was immersed and heard the story of the article.

At the coronation he attended, he turned his eyes to see the paladins and wizards in a realistic portrait of the princess.

I felt a sense of camaraderie in their sitting side by side.

You look too familiar.

Just like people who knew it all along.

The wizard and paladin became friends too quickly.

Between breakfast and lunch, in less than a few hours.

Of course, it was the paladin who healed the wizard who was stunned, and I can appreciate that.

And if you're right, maybe we can get along.

But there are doppelgangers in a confined space, so is it normal to quickly get along with strangers?

I don't know the common sense or the concept of the people of this world, so I'm not sure what to say.

It seems strange.

Let me get this straight.

From the time of the first day of battle, there is something strange about the two people's loving atmosphere.

First of all, the Wizard unleashed his magic while me and the paladin were tangled.

If I hadn't spread the wings of the Tallarian to block the magic, the magic flame would have overwhelmed me and everyone.

Immediately after, the paladin healed the Wizard who was beaten and stunned by me.

The paladin healed me again after my magic reversed and fainted.

It must be complicated for a wizard.

You'll be embarrassed, you'll be sorry, you'll be thankful.

I feel sorry for him, but is he treating the Paladin of the Musketeers?

Hmm...

It's vague.

He did not continue to have doubts because he had doubts about the attitude of the paladin since yesterday.

The paladin has been acting altruistically since yesterday's battle.

I acted intentionally to create an atmosphere of warmth and relaxation.

In fact, I didn't really care because the behavior of the paladin was consistent with my goal of listening to people's stories.

But before the battle, the paladin was the one who put the Doppelgänger down before anyone else.

He pushed the atmosphere harshly and anxiously, resting, calmly thinking or talking, but insisted on finding and killing the Doppelgänger immediately.

I continue to feel disgusted by his attitude change.

There's definitely a Doppelgänger in this cavity. How can he act so altruistically?

More sensitive to doppelgangers than anyone else?

Here's my hypothesis.

If you've tried to stir up chaos and encourage division before.

After a battle, he tries to act altruistically to clear his suspicions and create a potential supporter.

Both different actions are reasonable judgments, assuming the paladin is a Doppelgänger.

If the sudden advancement of the relationship between the two of you in this situation becomes radical, it is doubtful enough.

Not only paladins but also wizards are prime suspects of doppelgangers.

It is clear that getting along with paladins who will be seen as fawns and favors at the same time will help her survive.

One last time.

No message describing the stage said there was only one Doppelgänger.

Considering the difficulty of Hell, always keep in mind the possibility of more than one Doppelgänger.

So I have to keep an eye on you two.

After clearing my mind, I suddenly remembered the reaction of the adventure god when I met the wizard on the first day.

How he reacted.

Obviously, when the Wizard and I met....

[The God of Adventure is watching you in excitement.]

I reacted like this.

What's so exciting?

[The God of Adventure cheers you on.]

I don't need it...

* * *

As soon as I finished dinner, I asked the Wizard to teach me magic.

I've waited long enough.

There were only four days left until the stage was over.

I'm just about to learn more magic, so I can't wait any longer.

“Not possible.”

[It is forbidden to teach magic to outsiders. A wizard can only teach magic to his disciples in the Tower.]

The wizard told me that he could not teach magic with his mouth or globe.

Yeah, I knew it.

If you ask nicely, you won't listen.

It is unfortunate that you have to do something other than ask nicely.
