He stared at me upwards, as Philia would expect.

"When it comes to midnight classes, you feel a little nasty!

"... don't say anything like Mr. Clarice"

"I'm just kidding."

Phyllia laughed softly.

Somehow, I think Clarice and Philia have places like sisters.

Without knowing it, we may be affected by each other.

Anyway, it's class time.

Though it's not a magic class.

I put a large book on my desk and tapped it to show it.

The title is "General Reference Dictionary of Imperial Sites".

"Have you read this book?

Phyllia shakes her head to the side.

I don't think so.

This is what only adventurer party executives use.

"This is it, right? It's a reference to find out about the site being attacked."

"What kind of enemies are there in this book in the ruins?

"No."

When I said it, Philia snapped her neck.

"So you think it's just like the origin of the ruins on it?

"That's different, too. This book contains very little information about the ruins themselves."

When I said that, Philia looked like she was in trouble.

I guess I can't imagine what the book is for.

I smiled.

"For example, look up a ruin called the Temple of Lenin from this book."

"Yeah."

Philia turned the book flat.

It took me so long, it looked like I was struggling.

If I wasn't used to pulling dictionaries and dictionaries, I'd think so.

And fourteen-year-old girls have nothing to do with thick books like that.

"There are ruins lined up by region of the Empire. The Temple of Lenin is located in Trollan County, but it's faster to find it based on spelling."

"How?

"There's an index by spelling on the back"

Philia turned the end of a thick book and said, "Really!," he struck his hand.

And based on that, we'll start looking into it again.

Find the Temple of Lenin in the index and find out how many pages and how many steps are on the page.

Then you can open that part of the book.

Philia found the part of the Temple of Lenin and said, "Yay!," he snapped, and began to read.

But soon he looked strange.

Over Phyllia's head, there seemed to be a lot of question marks floating around.

"Solon, what is this?

On the fingered part of Phyllia, under the letter "Temple of Lenin," "Investigated. Imperial calendar year 321".

Further underneath, even the name and numbers of the book are written.

Some of the books mentioned seem hard, such as "Mineral Veins of the Empire Central State," "Studies of the Ancient Temple," and "Primary Adventurers from Tomorrow! There are also light utility books such as How to Take a Safe First Step.

"The General Reference Dictionary of Imperial Sites that you have now examined with Dear Philia is a list of which books contain information about the sites. Something like a reference book to look up a reference book. The book" The Great Dictionary of Ancient Demonic Ecology "is on the bookshelf, so take it."

Filia nodded and stood up, reaching for the bookshelf behind her.

But I can't reach him.

"Um, it's just a little bit more"

"Oh, I'll take it. It's okay."

Now I took the "Great Dictionary of Ancient Demonic Ecology" on the top shelf.

Filia stares into her own hands with a little regret.

"I wish I had been taller"

"I'll stretch right out. Isn't Filia growing up?"

"Right. It's a growing season for everything but height! I want you to tell me you have a solon right away!

"I won't ask you in depth about anything other than height, but good luck studying for now, huh?

"Of course! But what are you going to do with a book like this, looking into it?

Philia pointed to the "Great Dictionary of Ancient Demonic Ecology".

"Before we attack the ruins, we look into these books beforehand. Without information about enemies and terrain, the level of security of a monument attack will be completely different."

"Did Solon also use these books in the Knights?

"That's right. Because it's primarily the Adventurer Party executives who look into this kind of thing and set up the operation. But I think that if other members are meant to be, we should look into this information in advance."

"Why?"

"We can't all make the right decision instantly if we leave it to our leaders. Information is the lifeline of magicians and adventurers. So Master Filia needs to get used to these tasks, too. Dear Philia, just use a few books to summarize the enemies, maps, and key resources and treasures of the ruins."

Philia, as she was told, started working, but after a while she turned up the sound.

"That, Solon. It's even plain work..."

"Adventure isn't just about glorious battles. Thousands of miles of roads are a step away."

"Right. But... maybe a little bored. Still, you have so many ruins and adventure books in the mansion.

Philia looked around the bookshelf.

Indeed, this mansion contains not only books of sorcery, but also a considerable amount of relic related books.

That was the one I bought again.

Phyllia shakes her neck.

"Solon, don't you really still want to do ruin attacks and adventures?

"Why not?

"If I hadn't, I wouldn't have left so many ruins books in the mansion."

Philia stared me in the eye worried.

What's the matter with you?

"Maybe you're my tutor, so that's not what you're putting up with, right? If Solon can't do what he really wants because of me..."

Oh, I see.

Is that what Philia is worried about?

I thought again that Phyllia was a good girl.

Imagining and worrying about how I wanted to continue being an adventurer and not being in my way was proof that Phyllia had a fine heart.

I denied Phyllia's words.

"I won't be an adventurer for a while. I've made a lot of achievements in the early Knights of St. Sophia, and I'm sure I'll never be more active than when I was in that Knights."

"But..."

"I came to Imperial City looking for a path other than adventurer, and wanted to become a tutor to Philia. So don't worry about that."

"... yeah"

"It's my hobby to have some ruins related books in this mansion, isn't it? I like to read books, but these books are interesting."

"Well, that's unusual."

"Really? Anyway, there's another reason."

"What?"

"Actually, soon, with Master Philia, I'm going to go to the ruins. That's why I have books."

"Really!?

Filia let her eyes shine again.

But Philia said she wanted to be a magic swordsman like me, and that should have included working in a ruin offense.

Unattacked ruins are often dangerous, but if they are already explored to the deepest point, they are relatively safe.

If it's a very elementary ruin, if I follow it, it's perfectly fine.

"The first site that Master Philia will go to is the Temple of Lenin. I mean, it's the ruins you're looking into right now."

Filia looked unexpected and dropped her eyes on a book written about the Temple of Lenin, staring carefully at it.

I smiled.

"Have you been willing to do a little?

"Yeah!"

Phyllia nodded momentum and took up work again.

I remember the old days as I watched it.

When I had an adventurer party, too, I was excited about this and checking out the ruins to go next.

In the beginning, only me, Cleon, Sophia, and Shea had company at the party, but they were all tied up, sharing information, and winning the fight.

No, Sophia stopped being an adventurer, Cleon separated herself from me, and Shea died.

Someday, the road was divided.

I sat next to Philia's chair, bringing her a chair.

And as I watched the work, I felt my eyelids getting heavier.

Can I just close my eyes for a little while until Phyllia finishes the work?

That's what I thought, I closed my eyes.
