-The villain lady wants to save money.

Ha! And I realized it was the seventh time I went to school from the air.

"I went away. I wouldn't be surprised if I came down from the sky."

And that's what I'm telling you, Dr. Bernhardt.

"It's not! I don't have any money!

"Huh?"

You're running smoothly, Dr. Bernhardt. The reaction to me is no longer with the Duke's wife. Well, if you came to school from the sky seven times, would that also be a reaction?

"There's no money, is there a Duke's Lady? Did the oddity reduce your pennies?

"No, well, there's that, too"

"Is there?"

Yes, it is. It seems that my father leaked what I was doing in the True Magic Research Department, and the Duke's wife was angry that I should not conduct strange experiments or bizarres.

I'm disappointed to call an odd experiment that might change the likelihood of the world's fighting that I'm taking seriously! I also wonder if that was too much to have broken into the archery department and caught all the arrows fired by the crew in the air!

"Well, that also has a serious impact on our department. Whatever, monkey pink. You flew great, expensive and light."

"There was a complaint from the next room that the monkey screams were loud."

How many parts were in the next room? Are you sure…… the chess department?

"But that's fine because sooner or later your father will fix his mood. I'm promising to go hunting with you again next time to get in a good mood, so I'll get you in a good mood. The problem is……"

"Problem?

Dr. Bernhardt asks if I'm interested in giving him a serious expression.

"I totally forgot my plan to save money in a third country for when our house collapsed!

"Huh?"

Second reaction, thank you very much.

"No. I don't even think the Duke of Oldenburg family will suddenly collapse. …… Are you involved in any crime?

"No. Our house is very clean. But there is a possibility in the future that they will destroy your home if they don't suspect it."

Even if I explained that, Dr. Bernhardt looked at me wondering what he was talking about.

But there is still a chance that our home will be destroyed.

I can't imagine what those landmines - Friedrich, Adolph, Silvio - would do if they became a high ministry and you came to school. Do something terrible and fear that I will be crushed at the end of it...

In preparation for this, I was thinking that saving money, depositing it in a third country that the Prussian Empire could not reach out to, so that a fresh start could be made even if your house was destroyed…

Whoa! I've enjoyed a lot of aristocratic life and even spent my pennies -!

This is so unsavory. I have to work part-time or something to save money. Right now.

"Dr. Bernhardt. Is there anything I could possibly do part-time?

"Right. If you're working as an assistant teacher at the elementary school, you should be free."

"Learn more about it!

It would be like a college TA. I am good at teaching so I can expect this.

"Right. Like you used to help me with my work, it's my job to make quizzes, to make prints for use in class, to prepare for experiments, to grade. You shouldn't be asking for anything that advanced."

"Whew! Then I'd love to take it!

It's really a part-time job for me. I have no hand in missing this.

"But it's a horribly thin salary. It's only 800 marks a day."

"Then I won't."

800 marc is...... Elsa at the bakery is still making more money.

"What part time did the teacher do when he was a student?

"Ah. You were a helping magician in the Adventurer Guild."

A help magician?

"What is a help magician?

"It's the job of non-magicians who are officially enrolled in the Adventurer Guild to join the party temporarily and literally help that party. The school prohibits the registration of adventurer guilds on the outside, so we have to do this magician thing."

I see. A school magician would be sure of his arm, and some parties would hire him. You can expect this.

"By the way, how much can you hire me for?

"When I was a student, I worked after school and on weekends, and you made roughly 50,000 markups a month. Compared to the teachers' salaries at school today, it was a small amount for students. I don't know what the market looks like right now."

"Whoa! 50,000 marks!

By and large, the average monthly income of the working class in this world is 80,000 markups. Considering that, the reward of a helpful magician is considerable.

If you cut the pennies to this as much as possible, you can save quite a bit of money. If you work as a carriage horse from now until 3 years in the High Department......!

"... you're not going to tell me you're going to be a magician, are you?

"I'll tell you! Because I need money!

I need money! Whatever! In anticipation of the fall!

"Um... An adventurer's guild. A magician is what poor students do. It's not like the Duke's Lady does it. If the Duke finds out, he'll lose his pennies."

"If the teacher will shut up, I won't know, so I'll be fine."

"Tell you what..."

"Please don't"

Stop. Don't crush my earning spot.

"Then I won't stop you forcefully, but don't push me. Even if the Duke complains, I'll look familiar."

"Hi!"

We did it! Now we've found a place to make money!

"Well, after school today, you're going fast!

"Hey, the club..."

No, sir! I'll save if this falls!

…………………

…………………

Here we are. Adventurer Guild!

It's a fantasy world of swords and magic, so there's this. It feels like this is fantasy. Though I'm not sure.

But you have a tough uncle... Some of the sisters are women, but they feel like they're doing a lot of rough work at their age.

Me, I'm completely floating.

I don't care, I don't care!

Think positive! I stand out! He said he could appeal!

I progressed to the reception of the Guild of Adventurers in grandeur.

"Um, I'd like to work for a helpful magician!

"Huh? Oh. You're a student at school. Welcome to the Adventurer Guild."

Surprisingly, the receptionist's sister reacted well. Are there a lot of these students?

"But as far as you can tell, you're a middle class student, right? Blood Magic will still only be able to use the preliminary ones. I don't think you have many parties to hire."

"It's okay. I'm self-taught, but I can generally strengthen my body, and I can use healing magic. Elemental magic is also total domination."

My sister at the reception gave me a worried expression, but I gave her back the guts pose.

"Then I will issue a warranty for the guild, so give me your name and address"

"Huh? Do you say that?

"You can't be a magician and help those who don't have a guarantee."

Shit.

Choice!

① Write your real name here honestly.

② Use a pseudonym because it is dangerous.

③ Give up.

③ is out of the question. Will you come so far and give up?

However, ① becomes aware that I am from the Duke of Oldenburg family. Even so, if you are badly suspected of using the pseudonym (2), you will not be hired...

It makes no sense to ponytail your hair so you can't bother and even wear Dada glasses......

Yes! Stay! This is ①! Write your real name!

"Go ahead!"

"Yes. Erm. What? Mr. Astrid Zophy von Oldenburg, sir? A little of that Duke of Oldenburg house?

"Oh, yes..."

I was spotted in one shot. and cheeks.

"Can you guarantee a help magician with this?

"Would you mind contacting the Duke of Oldenburg family just in case?

"Give me a break about that! I'm a man of patience!

If they contact me, I'll tell your father immediately! Even though Dr. Bernhardt will shut up because of this!

"Ha. So would you mind if I checked your student ID?

"Go ahead!"

There is no problem if the student ID is checked. There's a name, a photo of your face, and an address. I don't know what sorcery the face photo used, but it was a proper face photo. I really don't know how, this.

"Yes. I could confirm that. We will now issue a warranty.... Do you want a full name?

"No. Just a name, please."

If I could be the daughter of the Duke of Oldenburg when I needed to present this warranty, it could be rumoured. And it reaches your father's ear around, and the amount of pennies has the effect of further economic sanctions...

"Then, Master Astrid. Again, welcome to the Adventurer Alliance. Need an explanation about a helpful magician?

"Please."

It may be different from when Dr. Bernhardt was a helping magician.

"The Helping Mage is an irregular member of the Adventurer Guild. But you can join the quest by being hired as a full member of the Adventurer Guild. And you will receive a reward for consulting with the members of that party."

"Will the guild of adventurers mediate the handover of rewards?

"Yes, in order to avoid trouble, the Adventurer Guild keeps a record of the reward rate between the party and the Helping Mage, which is paid to each of them when accepting rewards for completing quests from the Adventurer Guild"

All right, all right. Just because I'm a girl and a kid doesn't seem to mean they lick me and don't give me the reward. If I can get the money for sure, I have no complaints.

The problem is that I can't do a big deal in that compensation negotiation, so I can be ketched on the reward. I want to be well paid. Because I'm going to have all that technology.

"Now, I need you to hire me to some party."

Well, I can't talk to you unless you hire me first.

I look inside the Adventurer's Guild for a moment. There are men and women in the Adventurer Guild who are very difficult to get close to. We have to find a party somewhere where there doesn't seem to be a magician.

With that in mind, there was a party just for some silly woman in the corner of the guild. There are no women my age on the boulder, but some are quite young. That would make it easier to talk to him. I don't even see a magician-like figure.

"I'm sorry! Didn't you hire a magician?

And I tried to speak to that party friendly.

"Eh? Are you a magician?

"That's it. Helping magician. I'm a student at school."

It was a short chestnut-haired woman and a small woman with a scratch on her cheek who responded to my words.

They are each wrapped in clad armor and moveable skinned armor. And on its lower back is the woman with chestnut hair lowering the short sword, and on its back is the woman with the cheek wound carrying the bow.

"You're a helping magician. That could be it."

It is a tough woman wearing plate mails who tells you that. This woman carries a big claymore on her back.

"I am Gertrude, the leader of this party. As you can see, it's avant-garde. These are the avant-garde Ernesta and the rear guard Petra."

Hmm. The woman in the bent armor in front of me is Mr. Gertrude, the woman with chestnut hair is Mr. Ernesta, and the woman with cheek wounds is Mr. Petra, and.

"So what about you?

"I'm Astrid. I'm a help mage!

Introduce yourself well and you'll give them a good impression.

"Astrid. As you can see, there are no magicians at this party. One of these days, I'm going to officially add him to my crew, but I can't find anything that fits my mind. In the first place, magicians themselves are few in the Adventurer Guild..."

"If that's the case, make sure you get me!

Is the adventurer's guild a mage a seller's market? Hehe, I heard good things.

"But from what I've seen, you're a middle school student, right? Aren't you getting a lot of Blood Magic or something? I'm not familiar with the school, but I hear it's high school students who usually help magicians."

"Don't worry. I have mastered both physical enhancement and healing techniques. Let's take a look."

When I say so, I take the knife that is lowering to my hips and put it on my own flat.

"Ma, wait! It's dangerous!"

"Don't worry!

I cut off the pain and cut my hands flat with Zakuri.

Pain blockade is a magic I've learned recently. I tear down some flat hands and monitor the movement of the nervous system at that time. And by blocking the nervous system that works when tickling, the pain is gone.

Well, this blocks my normal senses as well as my pain.

"Wow! You're cutting it so deep you're surprised!

"Whoa............. Doesn't it hurt………………"

Mr. Ernesta and Mr. Petra look at me with surprise. But it's still too early to be surprised.

"Ho! healing magic!"

I glanced at the open wound.

Then, the natural healing ability is enhanced by Blood Magic, which instantly and beautifully blocks the wound. There is little trace of the wound. All that remains is blood flowing from the wound.

"Whoa. Looks like we do have some healing skills. I was wondering if you could help us with our party and join us as a magician."

"You can also try strengthening your physical abilities, right?

"No. That's all I've learned about healing techniques. You can also expect to strengthen your physical abilities."

Mm-hmm. I'd like to show my strength in order to get a higher reward rate.

"So what kind of quest can I take?

"Mm-hmm. Our party didn't get that high difficulty quest. Because there was no magician who would heal me when I had to. We don't want to lose people, so we've avoided the risk."

Mm-hmm. You're a companion leader. He doesn't seem like a bad person.

"But it's about a comforting magician joining us here, and I'm going to try one bold quest."

"What do you mean?

I wonder what it is. Dragon extermination or something.

"Herb collection."

"Herb collection"

Huh? Isn't that a quest like doing in a tutorial?

"Oh, is that hard?

"Oh. What we're looking to collect is a Mandrake collection. The neighborhoods where the Mandrakes flock are so powerful that it is a must. Griffon, Cocatrice, Wyburn, Etosetra"

Oh, I, Griffon and Cocatrice, have defeated you!

"So it's a dangerous quest. If you want to stop it, I won't force you. What are we gonna do?

"Of course I will!

Not me or anything scared of Griffon or Cocatrice! Why don't you get that Mandrake and come back!

With that said, we've only learned a few preliminary things about pharmacology at school. I'm still studying here. There are often powerful warcraft around Mandrake. Any of this knowledge should come in handy.

"You're reliable. Well, good to see you. Shall we then decide on the reward rate?"

"Yes."

Now, the problem is the allocation of money. I also want to make money like Dr. Bernhardt.

"What about at 20% of the overall reward? This quest is challenging and rewarding. Not a bad percentage, I suppose."

That's what Mr. Gertrude said, pointing the quest purchase order at me.

Hmm. With 30 more bundles of Mandrake, the reward is 60,000 markups. I mean, I get paid 12,000 marks. Dr. Bernhardt worked after school and over the weekend and said 50,000 markups a month, so isn't this a considerable amount......?

"So please!

"That's settled. So I'm going to go through the order process."

Mr. Gertrude laughed nicely and headed towards the counter with a purchase order for the quest.

"Hmm. But speaking of school students, you're noble, aren't you? What, I thought I'd do a magician to help? Is that money to play with?

"No. Savings in preparation for the future. Because the future is at stake."

After Mr. Gertrude left, Mr. Petra turned to me and asked, but I gave him that back with a serious look.

Yes, we have to save for future ruin.

The plan is three-stage.

First of all, it means avoiding actions that are likely to have a ruin flag as much as possible. It is more convenient not to have a home demolition flag and to finish your school life peacefully and safely.

Behavior after the next ruin flag.

I will use modern weapons to vanquish the soldiers of the Imperial Army, and your father will join hands with the lords with whom I have made an affair to raise them up. Then defeat the Imperial Family and the Imperial Lords and proclaim the establishment of the New Empire.

If this fails, we will flee to a third country where we cannot reach the Prussian Empire and use the wealth we have stored there to restart. I won't be able to see Iris, but it's better than being robbed of my life.

This is the three-stage plan that Astrid conceived to avoid ruin.

I want to stop at the first stage, if possible. Even if it's bad, it's in the second stage.

The third stage is a declaration of de facto defeat. Is this what makes me lose to Friedrich or something? I will show you the will of the Duke of Oldenburg family.

"The nobles are in trouble, too. You live in a world we can't even imagine."

"Hey, I do all sorcery research every day."

That's what Mr. Ernesta told me.

"Look, students. Stay with me on the battlefield. It's dangerous when you move poorly."

"Yes, thank you."

I'm guessing Mr. Petra has experience in action. He gave me instructions quickly. Receive honestly.

"But I hope this party can somehow draw in the sorcerer, too. I don't think we're that bad in strength."

"There aren't many magicians. That's how poor a nobleman must be to be an adventurer with a graduated student from school. Non-school magicians have poor strength and are hard to scout."

Oh. Is there a shortage of magicians in the Adventurer Guild because the educational institutions of magicians are occupied by nobility?

As I've told you before, nobles learn magic in schools and civilians are taught by former court magicians and other retarded magicians. The former produces a stable magician of strength in a constant curriculum, but the latter are not strong enough to teach each in a fragmented curriculum.

"Well, now I only endure it. Stick to the big party and you'll figure it out."

"There are magicians who can help."

Mr. Gertrude came back from the counter when Mr. Ernesta and Mr. Petra were telling each other that.

Finally, the quest begins.
