Chapter 243 – Why?

After spending three at the mansion, the awkward time between breakfast and lunch.

At the recommendation of Doran, the dean of the academy, he sits in the dean’s office and is treated to a precious cup of tea that he barely found even on days when there are no classes.

Shiver-

Doran didn’t rattle as he brewed tea with his one arm in a skimpy suit.

“Listen.”

“Thank you.”

I pick up the warm teacup and gently put it in my mouth and pass it over.

“Isn’t that a very nice thing?”

“Hmm… I can feel that the scent is definitely different.”

Doran made a sound with a relieved face and laughed coolly.

Haha!! As expected, he has a good eye! Roland, that ignorant bastard says he needs to give it to him, and he’s looking for alcohol.”

“…That’s an easily imagined picture.”

In fact, my thoughts were not very different from Roland’s. Just be polite enough.

‘Is this such an expensive car?’

Even though I have quite a distance from the culture, I don’t know or hate cars at all.

As the three of us in the mansion enjoyed tea, I naturally enjoyed it as a treat.

This tea has a strong burning taste.

I was curious because they boasted that tea leaves were so hard to find.

The smell is good, but the taste is strange, with a weak bitter taste like chewing the bark of a tree.

As soon as you drink it, you are drawn to a drink that will clean your mouth or a refreshing, plain milk.

I was desperate for coffee or drinks made by Rike, who was perfectly aware of my taste buds.

“Soon the contract for practical training is over. As my beard turns white, I feel that time is harshly fast.”

“That’s right.”

“Was it worthwhile teaching the academy students?”

Teaching was rewarding, but the new encounters led by Rike were worthwhile.

There were many inflection points in my life.

Needless to say, I went through the biggest change when I entered the academy.

Rules and rest have arrived in a life that was full of reverse magic and mental stability where the rough and rough whims of the luster fade away.

“Of course. Teaching is, after all, training for oneself, isn’t it?”

“Heh heh! That’s right. The purpose of explaining why I joined the church was to look back on magic once again. That continued all the way, and I came to this place.”

“You are amazing.”

“It’s not a big deal, but it’s an old man who was frightened and settled down. Umm… Yes… Are there any sprouts with platinum eyes among the cadets?”

“There is.”

“Ohhh…! You’re a cadet recognized by platinum adventurers, you’re a ramp. Can you tell me who it is?”

“Haha! Wouldn’t that be burdensome for them?”

Ricke and Chloe, who came to mind first, are so overwhelming that they cannot be compared to other cadets in terms of skills and abilities, with various elixirs, skills, and belonging weapons attached to the intensive training that Eclair and I take turns watching.

If I had to think of one more person, it would be Seria, who has enough passion to cover it up even though she lacks talent to protrude from the academy?

Among the male cadets, there are buds that can easily make a name for themselves, and the heroines of the original game also have certain talents.

In the end, if someone doesn’t push them, they won’t be able to bloom and it will end there.

In the end, Ricke and Chloe.

‘Are you both concentrating on your studies?’

It hasn’t been long since I saw it in the morning, but as we talk about it, the faces of the three shimmer.

Eclairs will be moving until your feet sweat.

Ricke and Chloe must be sitting in a classroom somewhere on the property, taking lessons.

The swordsmanship department and the knights department were concentrating on their classes in their respective classrooms.

If the two faculties overlap, even Seria will sit together and the three of them will be enjoying their academy life.

“Before continuing. I didn’t bother to ask until now, but I know from Roland’s words that he dislikes the unique way of speaking of nobles.”

“Yes, because there are times when I get it wrong. There are times when it’s hard to understand honestly.”

Doran Escaro refilled the empty teacup with one of her arms and ran her slow hand through her beard.

“…So I’m going to bring it up right away. There was a major change in the past, so I thought the imperial family would check the results of the class. No matter how many times you say it, in the end, didn’t the actual combat class itself follow the royal decree?”

“I know.”

“But this time, even from the perspective of an old man who has lived his whole life on the edge of a blind eye, he can’t see an inch ahead.”

Listening to Doran’s words, even though she was so caught up in the chojang through the eclair in the imperial family.

‘I’ll believe you,’ she said, in one word, ended her verification.

“Since you gave the order, I thought I would definitely come. Are you busy and don’t even have enough manpower to send?”

From my point of view, those words seem like a wait-and-see tone, so I think there will be a more unpleasant aftertaste.

Doran had a relieved face.

“Whoops… I only heard how great Platinum’s name is. The old man who lived only in books realized it in reality. The words ‘I will believe you’ are not words left to this helpless old man.”

“…”

It wasn’t the dean who showed credit in the imperial family. Platinum adventurers taught the cadets, so he wouldn’t bother evaluating them.

In the end, it was a wrinkled raccoon-like response, keeping in mind that if he pointed it out, it could also flow in a strange direction.

Even after listening to the end of the story, he kept his mouth shut because he was vague in answering, so Doran got up from his seat and brought a piece of paper and an envelope.

“And in the end, isn’t it because of this today’s seat?”

…
…

After a conversation with Doran about the gist of this event, I suddenly thought of an object.

“This is another story. When will you receive the library basement pass you promised?”

“Of course, I haven’t forgotten about it, and I’ve put in the production request. The problem is that it’s a very complex magic tool, so there are only a handful of people who can make it, so please wait a little longer.”

“…I expected that. Even if I do, it will take a little longer.”

“I know things aren’t very pleasant. I won’t do anything stupid to waste time with this filthy attitude. I’ll bet my remaining handful of honor… And my remaining arm.”

Even if he does not continue as an instructor, of course he will provide a pass, and Doran, who has attached a decree that he will not be involved in access to the academy library, checks the time and changes the subject.

“The time is vague, so why don’t we talk about the rest of the story over lunch?”

“It’s unfortunate, but since I made an appointment with the Adventurer’s Guild, I think I’ll have to stop by. There are customers waiting.”

“Hmm… I can’t help it. I’m sorry I kept you here because you must be busy. Feel free to give me an answer.”

“I’ll give you an answer as soon as possible.”

This is the point of today, and I carried the contract I received earlier on my side.

Even after this contract ends, if you have any thoughts of wanting to teach at the academy, please let me know.

I stopped breathing before waking up, emptied the remaining half of the car at once, left the dean’s office, and left the academy.

*****

The lunchtime adventurer’s guild is all-or-nothing.

It is crowded with unemployed people who have been pushed back in the commission competition.

Fortunately, on that day, the request board was full of papers, copper and silver, and there were days when the tavern was empty.

Tung-!

As I pushed through the door of the guild, the serenity caught my eye.

As expected from the outside, today seems to be a day full of work.

After taking a simple greeting and request confirmation stamp with the receptionist who was writhing from hunger, I went down the stairs.

Squeak- squeak-

Going down, I see Alice with a Tero on her head and her stomach filled.

Alice, who was sitting at the same table with Lark’s party, jumped up while hastily wiping the area around her mouth with her sleeve.

“… Roman! Hello!”

“Welcome.”

“Both of you worked hard late at night. I checked it, so pick it up later.”

Dreuk-

I took my seat and sat down. I was thinking of making fun of Lark, whose expression was rotting in anticipation of the future where yesterday’s happening would change into a theme.

Papers stacked on one side of the table caught my eyes strangely.

And.

When I heard where the Lark party was headed for the next quest, I felt a tingling sensation close to a migraine and grabbed my forehead.

“Mist Nest… Why are you there?”

“Are you going for a request? Why does ‘why’ appear?”

In this situation, I can’t refute the words of Lark, who prides himself on being smarter than me.

‘Even if it’s not wrong…’

Even if he selected a request, it would be staggering to say it was a coincidence.

“Waporem if it’s a fog nest?”

“Where else is that?”

Fortunately, the destination didn’t seem to be the town where Morgan lived.

‘Still···.’

Morgan moved himself, but I didn’t hear the news that the 3rd knight was dead.

So, whether Morgan had a confrontation with the 3 knights, or whether he was currently preparing, or whether he died, he threw a bait to fight, but it is unknown what the situation is.

Although he is a member of a group with a propensity to indulge in devil worship without interfering with others.

As a human and a warlock, his temper and current situation are unpredictable.

Looking closely at the contents of the request, the destination is quite far from the village and the vague boundary line is even called a fog nest.

In order to make amends for the war, the Lark party might be collected at once.

“…”

Scratching the scar on his chin, he answered.

‘I need to find out how the situation is with the warlocks anyway.’

Largely, the future of the three people living together, and closely related to Rike in detail.

That alone is the reason why it is full of cars for me.

Lark party… I might have left it as it was in the past.

An adventurer is a job that faces even such misfortune. I don’t know if I turned my head knowing this thought.

“Didn’t you say you were leaving in three days?”

“Okay.”

“… Mr. Roman. Why are you like that?”

After reading her hints, Lillie looked at her and asked, but she couldn’t give a clear answer.

However, it is also the case that the leader of the adventurer’s party warns the outside adventurer not to forcibly withdraw from the choice.

There is a line between adventurers who become endlessly pitiful in the face of death.

‘…Just check Morgan.’

The time to leave the capital once again has been set. I had to go in the first place, so I wanted to remove the horns as well.

“I have to stop by anyway, so let’s go together.”

“Hmm?”

“That much doesn’t matter, does it?”

“···Do whatever you want.”

I finished with a short answer, but a complex expression that is easy to understand.

When Lark and Lilyne, trying to understand my actions, shut their mouths, the table just raised and lowered the glasses.

And the girl who was rolling her eyes alone in the middle, not knowing why, looking at the atmosphere.

After her hesitation, she gently grabbed Roman’s sleeve right next to her and drew her gaze to herself.

“… Roman.”

“Huh?”

“That, uh…! Uh…”

– Poetry!

In Alice’s head, who hesitated and couldn’t move forward after calling Tero.

She tapped the top of her head with her tail, as if trying to cheer up.

“Can I go with you too?”

When Alice brought out her unexpected remark, everyone in the seat drew attention.
