Two as One Princesses

144. Available time, students and herb collection

The second school entrance exam will be done in a hurry anyway. Still, it takes six days for the results to come out, during which time the students have to spend time in the Wang capital. Although undecided, in this world, only a limited number of people can come home to their parents in about 6 days.

When we go back to our parents' house (the central mansion), it's going to be too much. Besides, if I go home, I have to leave home or something within that day.

That's why many students remain in the Wang capital.

Although no one seems to be able to make it to the acceptance announcement in time because there is a place to stay for cheap this period.

Still, I came to Wang Du because of it, so few people want to play or shop.

As a result, people gather in hunter unions.

Because it's a place where you can easily make money, so to speak.

For the people here, it is an annual event, and the process is carried out as I am accustomed to because the period is also a short period from entrance exam to acceptance announcement.

I guess there's no reason to say no, because it's where I can register from age 10 originally, and there are quite a few people who can fight to get into second school.

I feel like there was something hunter-related in the items taught at school, but I don't think there will be any major injuries unless the lowest demon exorcism or the extent of its use in the town.

Besides, at this time of year, there will be a request for advanced hunters to monitor students so that they don't have to? I guess I know the school around here too.

If a student at this school tries to become a hunter during this period, it will be a special treatment for a limited period of time.

If you want to officially be a hunter, you will be ranked after visiting again and taking the exam.

This neighborhood has nothing to do with us.

To say why I am so familiar with it, I came to the Hunter Union because I have time, and there were a lot of people my age, so I asked what was going on at the reception. It was then left in a magic bag, much appreciated when I wholesaled the lower ranked medicinal herbs.

Even if there are no major injuries, the number of injuries itself will increase?

And all the other interactions so far, considering what Ciel did, make me happy that Ciel grew up, too.

Mia was here with me today, but I never even got Mia's help. I think it's not Ciel who asks for help when he needs it, it's the receptionist.

"You're the kid who was on the entrance exam, right?

"... yes, but what is it?

Asked why the situation was all the same age, well I thought I'd take a look at it on request, and Ayle (Ciel) was called out.

Ciel didn't seem to realize she had been called out, and the reply was somewhat delayed.

If you saw who spoke, it was that boy with a lot of magic. I was taking some men and women - more women - behind me, and I had a prediction that maybe Ciel would want to add to it.

"Because of this, why don't you come with me? I've been a hunter, and I think there's a lot I can teach you.

Sometimes you don't know what to do when it's your first time. "

As far as the boys and girls in the back are concerned, I guess it's an offer in good faith.

Even though there are watchdogs, even if an amateur tries to do a request to the dark clouds, there will be failures, and even if he has the power to fight, he won't do well in the first fight.

Looking at the receptionist, he's nodding like trouble, so it doesn't seem to be a lie that he's been hunter's activity before.

But even if it is Ayrnage, the offer is only annoying. Or do you not see Mia with you?

"I'm already working as a hunter, and I have party members, so please don't"

"It is. Surely you were unloading the herbs earlier. If you like, why don't you take those people with you who don't like to fight?

I'd be happy to tell you some tips on herbicide removal and how to tell. "

"I can't because it's the best I can do because I protect myself. Bye."

Has it become a pain in the ass to play the other guy, or Ciel leaves Hunter Union behind? And like I did, Mia follows me.

Then he walked out the gate with the flow as it was.

From the time I left the gate, a presence appeared that followed me somewhat.

I could have predicted that this would be the guy who got the watch request, so I ask Mia to tell him that it's good to leave him alone.

I took a roundabout because I couldn't believe I found it on the strength of Ayle, and because I thought Mia (an adult) would probably go faster.

In fact, thanks to Mia's going, the story with the watchdogs was quickly followed.

Now that we've solved one problem, I ask Ciel, 'What shall we do?' and speak up.

Because of the magic boy, he's supposed to go outside without asking, so he hasn't decided to do it.

Ciel thought for a moment and then said, 'I'll walk in the woods as I see fit. You just came out of your spare time,' he returns.

It would also be Mia's training, and she decided to watch without disagreeing.

"Dear Ayle. What are you doing today?

"Do you want me to go into the woods appropriately and look for some medicinal herbs?

"Is that good?

"I'm busy today. It's not a bad idea to train Mia."

"Thank you"

If you are serious about finding herbs, you will be trained in witchcraft. Mia, who knows that, wants to be aggressive.

I wish I could try it alone even when I have time, but I don't think I can do it alone because my attention to my surroundings will be scattered.

When you ask me, it's hard to feel magical grasshoppers. If we can make this easy, we will know where the magic will be released from, if we are using a magic formation, where there will be a magic formation, etc.

"Speaking of which, were you sure?

"I wonder what it is?

"It's at the Hunter Union."

"Is there anything you care about?

Sees Mia as having trouble seeing Ciel seriously bothered.

Surely at that time, I would have made as much acquaintance as I did, even if I didn't have to say I was a friend if I had chosen to help.

I noticed that, too, but didn't seem particularly interested in Ciel.

You can't protect a demon if he shows up because he's the strength of Ayle, and when he starts charity because he wants to make acquaintances, he loses his temper.

There will be opportunities in the future, and I thought it would be a good day, but Mia is in trouble, so I decided to send out a help ship.

"Mia thinks that if I had helped those students with their activities, I might have gotten to know them."

'Oh, I see. But I didn't want to help them.'

'I think that's a good idea. Why don't you just keep telling Mia'?

I didn't want to help them.

"No, I'm sorry I didn't think enough"

"After all, should I have made a lot of people I know?

As Ciel casually asked, Mia silenced herself as she thought a little, then began to talk with care about one thing.

"As a nobleman, keeping connected is not a bad thing. Because not often things change because of unexpected connections.

Especially if you're the kind of person who takes school exams, there are a lot of good people out there, so I'd like to keep them face-to-face.

But if you're like Ayle, you may not have to make connections. It must be best to keep up with those who care about Ayle. "

"How about Ein?

"I think we just need to select people who aren't under Ciel's stress"

"Then I knew you wouldn't make acquaintance with the dark clouds. Something I'm going to be tired of."

"Yes, I understand"

I want you to enroll in school and make friends, but it's not uncommon for you to strain yourself where you can't and create relationships.

More than that, I want you to make a friend who can talk to just one person at ease.

Whether or not you have such a candidate for friend, though, is only luck.

While we were talking like this, we reached the woods near Wang Du.

Even when it comes to forests, it doesn't feel like a depressed, deep forest, but a bright forest full of leaky trees.

There are grasshoppers growing all over there, and there are quite a few that look like herbs.

When it comes to medicinal herbs, the amount of magic I've noticed for a long time, but have even the same kind of wild grass, can be different.

I'm not sure about the difference that it makes, but it probably makes a difference in the effectiveness of the drugs and potions you can do. Wild grass with less magic might be less effective, but I'd like to look for this one for training.

"In the meantime, do you have any idea how many swarms of fabric we had before we got here?

"Uh, about three places?"

"I've found five places, but how's Ain?

"There were 10 places, including the details."

"Sounds like 10 places. I haven't, either."

The five places Ciel couldn't find were quite a distance away, so I think it's enough.

Even at this stage, you'll know the approximate timing of the magic activation, because if it's about unintentional strikes caused by uncovered magic, I can handle it.

But Ciel's ultimate goal seems to be to recognize my genuine juncture, so given that, it may not be yet.

When it comes to connecting, I have the pride of being at the top of the world.

'Well, Ein, can I just leave it to you for a minute?

"Okay."

Ciel tells me so and I replace it without changing the color.

Because I really want to change, but I can't change now.

It was replaced to give Mia an assignment. I want you to pull the right amount of magic herbs and collect the same amount of magic herbs.

This is pretty hard... Apparently.

"Then try collecting the same as this today"

"Okay."

"Once I... or as far as Eirnage can see, please"

"I know that."

"So some of you were obsessed and brought in an orga"

"Well, then, I'll go"

When I dropped off Mia, who shyly called it a shitty one, I heard her say, 'You look like you're having fun and I envy you' and she sounded like she was having fun.

When I return my body, I say, "Shall we chat a lot now?"

'That's a good idea. But there's one thing I'm worried about, okay?

'What is it?

"Can the people who were following me from the Hunter Union leave me alone?

'Careful, would you like to help?

"No, not at all"

'Then you can leave it alone. Because some people are watching, and we have no responsibility.

It's a violation of manners at a time when you're sneaking around in the first place. '

"Hmm, what should someone do if they're protecting their manners?

'If they talk to you, I think you just have to deal with them in an unusual way.

It may be a hassle, but I don't think it will be a hassle to deal with who they are or who they are at first '

I think relationships around here are a big deal to be honest with.

At the same time, I wonder what it's like to look at it objectively. It's hard to explain around here. I have a sense of unevenness around me.

'In this case, we refused to take it properly, and it would be the self-responsibility of those who have followed us completely'

"I wonder why you followed me in the first place?

"Didn't you even look at the money you got when you wholesaled the herbs?

It's the same age, and I think we were dreaming that if we only knew what the trick was, we'd make as much money ourselves. '

"If it was easy, I wouldn't have a hard time."

'Right. If this is a level you can do, I think it would normally be more lucrative to be hunting demons'

By the time it reaches this range, I think it's about B strength when it comes to hunters.

Herb picking is less challenging in itself, so the more money you do it seriously, the safer it would be to pick herbs than chasing us.

From then on, he watched Mia struggle as he talked to Ciel about nothing.
