noon of the day.

After the Grune Kingdom, we returned to Elstadt aboard Mr. Tronko's airship.

"You mustn't live a crappy life just because your grandfather hasn't seen it!

"I swear I will not live in self-depravity!

Mr. Tronko drops me off at the airship landing strip and heads to the Elstadt School of Magic.

The hissing Elstadt was busy.

The guys on the road are laughing with pleasure, and it's a peaceful place anyway.

"Come on, it's coming from anywhere! I'll make it a blood festival!

Nemia sets up a magic wand (Withers Rod) to say something noisy.

"Is it a festival today?

"That's not what blood festivals mean."

"It means making it spill!

"Nemia's gone crazy."

Really.

You were a sweet girl until just now, what the hell happened to you?

... possibly.

"Don't worry, there are no demons in the city."

"What, is that so?

I knew it.

For Nemia from the island country, the continent is a 'nest of bucket things'.

That's why I thought there were demons everywhere.

"Just like the Grune Kingdom, there are no demons in the city. Because there's a line between demons."

"I see you were! Then we want to fight the one who put up the line!

I solved the misunderstanding, but Nemia is willing to fight.

I'm sure you're nagging to see how far your powers work on the continent.

"If you want to fight, you have to break through the integration exam first! Then you can fight your students all you want every day!

"Yes! I will try to break through! We will try to build a bronze statue like Lord Ash by loading it with drills, getting stronger!

Nemia, who points to my naked statue and makes a statement of determination.

I mean, naked statues, I'm wearing girls' pants, right? Either way, I'm not embarrassed.

"That's Lord Ash, isn't it?

"It's Ash."

When Nemia took the confirmation, Mr. Noir responded instantly.

I totally forgot, but more than a year ago, I was honored for defeating the Rainbow Emperor (Rainbow Road) with a bronze statue.

Unlike me, who was erasing it from my memory, they haven't forgotten. Is it maintained every day, the bronze statue is perfect.

"Wow! I knew it was Lord Ash. Hey! It's amazing how bronze statues are built and dolls are made!

I'm being dolled!?

"... really. My doll is for sale."

Besides, it is a specialty store.

Besides, he's wearing pants. That's a dressing doll, isn't it? You're not gonna play like that, are you?

I don't know. Whatever the use, if the kids will enjoy it, that's fine!

"Ah! Lord Ash! Grandma's organization is buying it!

My doll, is it popular with the grandma generation?

When I was confused, the grandmothers who bought the doll found me.

I'm walking over a lot.

"You're Mr. Ash!?

"It seems like a dream to see you here!

"Can I have your autograph?

What's a signature... on a doll?

"Uh... can I have your back?

"Of course. Bye!... Oops, thank you very much."

When I wrote my autograph, my grandmothers knocked my doll to heaven.

In the sun, my doll looks divine.

"I'll make it a family heirloom!

"I'm glad you take care of it...... is that you play?

I wondered, so I shook my grandmothers in the face.

"I can't believe I'm playing. This is an exorcism."

I didn't know my doll had such a use.

Well, what do you say yourself? He's a perverted doll, and he's going to be exorcised in a way.

"I too will one day have a bronze statue built and will try to be active enough for an exorcism doll to be made! You will be strong for that too!!

I embarrassed myself early on back in Elstadt, but Nemia motivated me, and I'll take it as an O'Rei as a result.

Then we walk for a while and reach the Elstadt School of Magic of Nostalgia.

"Is this the Erstadt School of Magic! It's a splendid place!

"The interior is splendid, too. I'll call the Dean of the Academy. Wait a minute."

I'll take my phone out of my pocket and call the head of the college, Ai.

Last time it was a great performance with a yarn phone, it's my phone...

'Aina... Shh. How... were you... of?

By training in the kingdoms of Arian and Grune, he upgraded to the performance of toy transceivers and idyllic.

When I walked into the dean's office, Ai grinned.

"Mr. Ash! Looking good, more importantly."

"It's a hiccup. Ai... are you tired?

Beneath Eye's eyes, there was a loud bear.

It's the head of the college, the head of the Magic Knights, I guess I'm busy every day.

"Truth be told, I'm getting more work as head of the Magic Knights... and I envy Mr. Ash's strength"

Does the fact that I have more work as general manager mean that there have been more cases of demonic entanglement?

"If there's anything I can do, I can help."

"I'll just take your feelings. Mr. Ash will be busy with his training, and we'll fix that soon."

"Really? Please let me know if anything happens. My phone, it's upgraded!

"Ash would be very reliable to say that.... By the way, who's there?

"I'm Nemia! It's Nemia, the tronco's granddaughter!

"Maa! Uncle Tronko's!?

"You know your grandfather!

"Of course I am! Your father used to talk to me. You think he's very strong?"

"It's kind of illuminating."

Nemia flushes her cheeks.

"So, what's your relationship with Mr. Ash?

"Lord Ash is my master! I, Lord Ash, wanted to be strong and decided to take the integration exam!

"It was. We look forward to your admission."

"Yes! Good luck!

Nemia is rolling a melamera and a flame of motivation.

"By the way, I have one favor for Eye...... can I let Nemia watch the game with Mr. Cuhle?

"Of course I don't mind. I just told you, Mr. Cuhle, I want the game to be in three months."

"Is it three months later?

"Yes, correctly after the intake and promotion exams. Because when you two fight, the arena collapses."

There was no word to give it back.

It's called Elstadt and the good King's Capital, and I feel like I'm breaking it every time I stand in the arena.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to three months from now!

"Mr. Cule said the same thing. He said he's looking forward to it in three months."

"How is Mr. Cuhle doing?

"You said you'd train at the Elstania Mansion."

That's about the mansion we used at the cultural festival.

I have time, and I thought I'd go see you... but if you're in a haunted mansion, it's a long story.

I've overcome my bad taste in ghosts, but Mr. Noir remains bad.

I'm sorry to interrupt your training, and suppose you wait to see me again in the arena?

"Then you'll be back in three months!

"Yes, by the way, Mr. Nemia, we're almost done, so I'll show you the college if you like."

"What! Is that okay!?

"Yeah. I was just about to take a breath. A walk with you will make you feel better."

"If that's the case, I'd love to!

When Nemia let her voice play with joy, she stared at me and Mr. Noir with a puzzling face.

"Lord Ash! Lord Noir! Thank you so much for your help to this day! The experience I have gained on my journey with you is that, with this wooden knife, I swear I will never forget it!

Nemia......

You could have taken me to the academy... but the more time we spend together, the more we'll miss each other.

Nemia's shaking off her loneliness and trying to leave her master.

I have to leave my apprentice, too!

"I'm expecting a day when Nemia will be active!

"If I see your doll, I'll buy it."

"Yes! I, Lord Ash, will make you a celebrity!

That's how Nemia and I broke up. I left Mr. Noir and the Dean's office.

"I don't think Mr. Noir and I are hitting on each other."

"I'll talk a lot and cheer you up. What are we going to do now?

"There's still time until Grandpa Maurice's birthday, and I guess it's best to apprentice him to a near-field master candidate before then"

"Near field..."

Expand the map showing where Mr. Noir is the mighty.

"The nearest is the kingdom of Elstadt. There are five red dots in this country."

"Five?"

Me, Mr. Cule, Mr. Sharm, Mr. Milo... who's the other one?

"... really. There are five."

Me and Mr. Sharm are at the academy.

Mr. Cuhle is in the mansion.

Assuming Miró is in Nemnesia, the other one...

Is this the one who lives on the west side of Elstadt?

Last time I looked at the map, there were no red dots here, and have they grown rapidly lately?

If so, I want you to tell me what kind of training you did!

"Are you going here?

"I'll be there!

"Are we just leaving?

"I'll leave tomorrow morning. I want to buy a lot of things for my trip."

"Then I'd like to buy some food."

"Then I'll buy Mr. Noir's favorite mobile food."

"Glad to hear it."

A girl came out into the hallway as she passed in front of the staff room talking about it like that.

"Thank you!

Keep your head down in the room with the dust and close the staff room door.

"... I've seen it somewhere"

Mr. Noir looks at the side of the girl.

In fact, I knew him.

The girl who noticed us makes her face shine.

"Wow! Ash-kun! Mr. Noir! That's a hiccup!

He was my former classmate, Nina.
