egularly travels with.
Even if he is a red rank, I can’t have him investigate a situation we know almost nothing about by himself.”

[Carol]: “Why don’t you go with?”

[Litzreich]: “The situation won’t change just by adding me on.
On the other hand, you all are always together.
And then two knights, a priestess, and a witch? That’s a well balanced party right there.
And most important of all, your thief.”

[Carol]: “Me?”

[Litzreich]: “Correct.
This mission is one of research above all else, and the location is that of a dungeon.
What’s the point of even going if you don’t have a thief with you?”

[Carol]: “Hmhmm? I guess Litzreich knows a good thing when she sees it after all.
Okay, we’ll take the case.”

[Toslin]: “Oi, don’t decide that on your own.”

[Carol]: “But, we’re doing it anyway right? Even Iris said she wanted to do something adventure-like.
So we’ll take the case.”

Carol’s already eager, looking up towards Toslin with bright, sparkling eyes.

[Toslin]: “Uu, that, well…….okay, but……”

[Iris]: “You remembered Carol? Thank you.”

The place is the original fortress of the evil dragon Oshunel.
The situation, a mysterious monster no one knows about has appeared.

This if an adventurer-like job.

I want to take it no matter what.

I’m a little scared, but that’s just part of being an adventurer.
I need to learn how to live with my fear because that will always be part of the job.

[Toslin]: “What does Saluena and Rose think?”

[Rose]: “I have no objections.
If dangers lurk beneath the school, we must get rid of them for the students’ sake as well.”

[Saluena]: “I would also like to accept the request.
Iris must be protected, but it’s also important for her to gain experience and become stronger.”

[Lapris]: “If Iris is going then I’m going too.
The Goddess entrusted me with babysitting her after all.”

Lapris confidently patted my cheek as she declared her intent to come with us.

Her words make me happy, but then the incident with the king flashes through my mind and I become anxious again.

[Carol]: “Speaking of babysitting, Lapris knows not to make too much noise in the dungeon right? We don’t know where the enemies might be waiting for us.”

[Lapris]: “Who are you talking about?”

[Carol]: “You!!”

Despite things starting to get a bit off track, this means that everyone is in agreement and we’ve officially taken the request.

[Litzreich]: “My thanks everyone.
Then if you could just wait 2~3 days while I finish the preparations for the dungeon.”

[Toslin]: “Three days……..? It won’t take us that long to prepare.
Or do you need to get permission for us to enter the dungeon or something?”

[Litzreich]: “It’s nothing in particular really.
I would just rather give the school some extra time to prepare in case we’re about to poke a hornet’s nest.”

Litzreich waved off Toslin’s question, but she then quickly clapped her hands as if a thought had suddenly struck her.

[Litzreich]: “Oh yes.
Everyone, Iris especially, how would you like to become students here?”

[Iris]: “Eh, student? Me?”

That came out of nowhere.
I had to clean my ears to make sure I was hearing her right.

[Litzreich]: “Indeed.
You’ll have ample free time while you’re waiting anyway right? And with our excellent staff, wouldn’t you be able to learn as much about magic as you want while you’re here? And if you ever need them, we will give you priority for any spellbooks you might wish to read or any training space you wish to use.
How about it?”

[Saluena]: “Isn’t it fine? You were just telling me how you wished to practice more of your magic which makes this a well-timed offer.”

[Litzreich]: “Right.
And I can guarantee that our facilities are all well-equipped.
So how about it?”

Certainly, there were more than a few spells I wanted to try out while I was reading the book Grandpa gave me.

And it would be most helpful if I could borrow a place where I could practice.

[Iris]: “B-But……only nobles are allowed to attend here……”

[Rose]: “His Majesty himself said Iris-san was to be treated as an esteemed guest, so I would imagine that would not be a problem.”

[Litzreich]: “Hoh, did he now? Well, even if he hadn’t, I’m still a professor here.
It’d be no sweat for me to squeeze Iris in.”

Eh………wait? Why does it feel like things are naturally flowing to me attending the academy?

[Saluena]: “So long as it’s something my master wishes then I have no issue with it.
I will watch over you regardless.”

[Rose]: “I think it’s a fine idea as well.”

Neither Saluena nor Rose-san are against me entering the academy.

[Lapris]: “Well I object.
We’re talking about a school here right? Where humans all gather around like they’re part of a bargain sale? I won’t be able to get any sleep it’ll be so noisy.”

I’ll just ignore Lapris for now…….

[Iris]: “W-Well then…….I suppose, for just a little while, I could take a quick peek?”

Thrown off by the unexpected show of support, I joined this country’s……..I enrolled in Eleonora Academy.

1.
Brave is a Japanese term that is synonymous to hero even though they’re different words.
So to keep things straight, Ashel is the brave while Iris is the hero.
