Chapter 86 Please Wait!

Ara, have you finished your talk?

When we tried to leave the mansion of Duke Ortho, Lady May appeared with a smile. In the end, we became escorts for Therese, so I have no complaints. But, it feels itchy that I feel like being tricked by this person. It seems that Nell feels the same way.

Hey, I told you, didnt I? I dont want to stand out because Im in private.

Yes, I know. Thats why I havent mentioned your names. But, I might have accidentally said that there were strong adventurers. You see, Im very soft to my daughter. You adventurers should make one soon. Children are very cute, you know?

Well, it was my fault for not saying it clearly.

Oh, Nell gave in. Or rather, she ran away. But you know what, Im still not convinced. After all, I havent received my reward from her!

Please wait. Uh, its heavy This will be the reward for escorting me to Genius. I didnt know the market price, so I filled it with my own measurement. Is this enough?

I untie the money bag that Lady May handed to me and examine its contents. Houhou, hou!

We didnt help you because of the amount of money. I would like to think that Lady Mays feelings led to this amount of money, and I would like to accept it. If you have any problems, please contact us through the guild. Here is the contact address.

Me being convinced or not is a trivial matter. I hope that we can have a good employment relationship for a long time.

Okaa-sama, have you finished your business? Im going to the Gibeon Ruins with Deris-san and the others. I will tell Otou-sama when we get there, so you dont have to worry.

I guess I dont have to worry if you go with Deris-san. Theres no school tomorrow, but dont return late, okay? Oh, by the way, have you finished your homework?

Ive finished it a long time ago desuwa! Its childs play for a prodigy like me! Ohohoho!

Good. If Therese is the next lord, the future of Genius is secure. Ohoho.

Therese was laughing a young ladys laughter and Lady May was laughing a madams laughter. This family is somehow high-leveled that Im having a cold sweat!

Haru-chan, Haru-chan. Goshujin-samas side face when hes lost in thought is cool, right? It makes my heart throbs

Thats right! Im sure hes thinking about some harsh training in the dungeon!

I-Is that so? The main will be an investigation, so I think there will be no training. Or rather, please dont.

Ahh, that face is when hes thinking something not important, you know?

Gobu!

Hey, Gobuo-kun. Whats the meaning of that powerful Gobu! word when there was a flow that felt as if dissing me?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we were on our way leaving the town of Genius, Therese was greeted by a lot of students. The method of deciding on the student council president at Adelheit Magic Academy is the same as in Japan, it is decided by candidacy and voting by the students. Apparently, her popularity as a student council president is certain. Every student was friendly talking to her. On the other hand, Haru and Chinatsu, who had made an impactful appearance by pulling a carriage, were being looked at delicately by the students who must have seen the scene. Er, Im really sorry. So Chinatsu, dont look at me like youre complaining to me.

The distance to Gibeon Ruins is close enough that you can walk from the town. If you take a short walk from Genius, you can see a stone pyramid-like building with a color between gray and black. At that time, I thought it might be someones grave, but there are no ghost, wraith, or zombie monsters. There are only low-level monsters that a rookie can deal such as goblins and bats. Its the kind of place where you can really appreciate as the first dungeon. By the way, the entrance is a staircase that goes straight to the underground, so the pyramid is just a decoration.

That is the Gibeon Ruins desuwa!

Wow, thats a magnificent building!

If the smartphone battery was left, I might have taken a picture.

The two who didnt know that were innocently making merry. Well, this place can be a sightseeing spot if an adventurer accompanies you, so they are not wrong.

I guess there are no tourists here now.

Until the safety of the dungeon is confirmed, it will be so. The loss of training grounds for students and adventurers will lead to the decline of the territory, no, even the country. It is also a tourism attraction, so if left as it is, there will be a crack in the financial affairs Deris-san, everyone! We are going to solve this problem as soon as possible desuwa!

Yes!

Gobu!

The morale of Therese is high and her charisma is enough to motivate Haru and the others. Even her usual tension is high for no reason, so it may be connected to naturally encourage others. She tends to have high self-esteem, but her ideas are noble and heading in the right direction. She is suitable as a person who stands at the top.

However, I dont understand why she is working for the selection of the graduation festival. She is popular with the students and her conduct is not particularly problematic. Then, why is she out of the selection? Shes even appointed as the student council president, right? Or is there a problem with Duke Ortho?

Well then, Ill talk to my father first. Everyone, please wait here. Dont worry, it will only take several minutes desuwa. Ohohoho!

While laughing loudly, Therese disappeared into the dungeon. I feel like things gonna be out of hand there since her voice will reverberate underground.

Now is the right time, I guess? Lets ask Nell about it.

Nell, about Therese

You are wondering why she is out of the selection, right?

Ugh, you saw through me, huh.

You were making a face like that after all. Well, I guess I can tell you now. Its not like shes hiding it either. In fact, Im sure all the students at the academy know about it

What do you mean?

You see, Therese cant use magic.

Come again?

To be specific, the job-related skill she has is only Staff Arts even though shes a magician. I dont know if she picked up the others by mistake or not, but it seems that she did it when she was little. Moreover, she has trained those unrelated skills considerably when it was discovered. Even so, her job is level 3, so shes praiseworthy.

I-I see I thought that she was unique, but her skill composition was also unique, huh No wonder that shes out of the selection of the graduation festival that mostly involves magic.

Its okay, Shish! If she keeps working hard with her Staff Arts, she will reach level 4 someday!

Haru, not everyone can grow as fast as you, you know?

The level of the skills required to become level 4 is 100 in total. In short, she needs to master her Staff Arts Skill, her only job-related skill, you know? I think I can understand now why the students want to support her.
