On that day, I was in a classroom where I was discussing cultural festival products.
It is a discussion that crushes the class for an hour.
Motivated people will propose that they want to do this, that they want to do that.
I'm just staring at the sight because I don't want to say anything.
And I was talked to by Koshikoshi and Esther from the side.
"Well, hey, you work part-time at the guild, right?
Why don't you come on a quest with me next time?
Let's get rid of the dragons, like in the middle of the continent. "
"... I don't like it."
It wasn't meant to be exterminated in the first place, it was meant to be captured.
That's why we're going to catch Ray's dragon.
"Er, why??
"Why?"
I know it's unconvincing, but I told you.
"I'm not good at rough things."
"Really?
"Is that such a surprise?
"No, I thought you said" I hate it. "
Oh, don't you hate it just because you don't like it? Really? Really? "
Esther is convinced by herself.
"No, what, the quest isn't just about killing monsters, is it?
I wonder what Esther is up to.
I said such a thing with pleasure.
So,
I can't get rid of a bounty neck.
I was sorry about what happened to my father, so I gave it back.
And the ester is a jioton,
I haven't said anything yet.
"Otherwise, the only ones left are the wanted arrangers and the bounty neck, right?
I'm sorry, but I... "
"What about ghost extermination?
Estelle said such a thing when she interrupted me.
Yes?
"So, exterminate the ghost.
I'm talking about a client you erased from your memory. "
"Eh? Wait, eh?
What are you talking about?
I'm confused. I'll show you an image of Esther on my phone.
"... do you recognize the person in this image?
When I saw the image, I forgot to breathe for a moment.
Because I was so surprised.
There was a man there who didn't want to remember.
Estelle smiles at me.
And I noticed another gaze.
Tsukasa, sitting in the hallway behind Esther, looked at us.
The clasp and my gaze crossed each other.
It was unusual and the glasses were removed.
Then Tsukasa turned her gaze back to the blackboard, which lists the proposals for the cultural festival.
Whether you realize that or not, Estelle kept looking at me.
"It's going to be so much fun right now.
And you're at the center of it.
And I was assigned the closest position to you.
I mean, I heard about the world at the coffee shop that day, and you can understand that, right?
…………
I look at the images.
This person is someone I definitely don't want to be involved with in my future life.
"Is this the mastermind?
I heard it briefly.
Esther answers.
Well then. But maybe he's the closest one there.
After all, the administrator's scenario has been hijacked and he doesn't know where he's headed.
But that's all I can say.
At least you're at the heart of what's happening in this country.
Otherwise. "
Esther continued with a serious expression.
"There is no explanation that you have been involved with a girl relative of the royal family of this country or a princess of another country and that the relationship continues as it is.
The edge must have been cut somewhere.
You know that, Tetsu.
Different positions. Everything is different.
You wouldn't have been here if your father hadn't chosen.
Then again, if I hadn't died, I'd have been a normal student.
I should have lived a normal life without even having to handle it. "
…………
"But you're still being liked.
The naughty girls continue to like me.
I don't know what's in it for me to do that.
However, because there is some benefit, the state continues.
Maybe the man in this picture knows that. "
I look at the images.
It is an image of a teacher who has spoken in scattered words during the institutional period.
You look a little older than you were then.
"... I hate this guy."
When I whispered, Esther smiled like a goddess that everyone would look back at.
And then I said this.
"You finally got the truth."
