Chapter Index

    A social center that is busier and full of cheerful energy than any other place.

    The advantage of that location was that it was truly a natural surprise route for us.

    Vivian and Ranie gently broke through the floor of the clothing store with a rumbling sound and stuffed several clothes into the bag there.

    After properly restoring the floor, I saw the two of them entering the kernel worm again, and I drove the kernel worm, which was causing vibrations similar to earthquakes, as deep into the ground as possible.

    And then, thanks to the loud music and lively dancing atmosphere of the social hall, I was able to infiltrate the corner of Count Froden’s social hall without being noticed by the sound and vibration.

    – Kyuiiiing!!

    The giant kernel worm that broke through the floor of a corner warehouse where no one would come spat Vivian and Ranie out on the floor and let out a loud(?) sound. Vivian was nagging the kernel worm by hitting its head with her palm.

    “Be quiet!! Are you planning to ruin the operation?”

    – Kyuing… …

    Anyway, after wiping off the thick body fluids from the kernel worms with an appropriate cloth and putting on clothes from the bag they had prepared, they were able to enter the social gathering hall without any discomfort.

    But the real problem started here… …

    “Phew… So where should I start… … ?

    First of all, I tell you to help someone, but… … ”

    “Shouldn’t we find the target first?

    You’re the girl back then, right? The one who defeated Arachnella.”

    “That’s right. I remember it because it looked cute… …

    I did say that if you walk around, these things will react.

    For now, I have no choice but to wander around and find it… …

    And while you’re looking for it, let’s look for a medal or something.”

    Ranie nodded in response to Vivian’s words as she gently touched the lower abdomen where the spider was sitting.

    “Four!! Rain.. Helen!!”

    “Come to your senses!! Alma is older than Helen!!”

    “Uh… Then, should Helen treat me with respect? ?”

    “Ugh… Alma senior… … ”

    Vivian, who was momentarily speechless and groaned at Ranie’s question, which unexpectedly struck the core, seemed to eventually accept the current situation.

    “Yes!! What’s wrong, Helen?

    Ahaha!! Sometimes things like this are fun!!”

    “Hey… Senior Alma…

    You don’t use that tone… … Wow… ”

    “Hiik!!”

    “Enough with the jokes, let’s find the goal first… yo. this… …

    If you find it, go right here. Okay… Joe… … ?”

    The two women split up in search of their own goals.

    Although they seemed a little excited to see a civilized society for the first time in a long time, their eyes showed a passion that was rising without them knowing as they began to work hard to live up to the expectations of Enic who had entrusted them with the role.

    And there was a figure passing between them, like a blind spot, as they split into two halves.

    “I will take you this way.

    Master and his friends have a private room assigned to them.

    Of course, the place you will stay is the same, so you can visit later if you have an appointment.

    They say they are having a brief tea break there.”

    “I see… Thank you.”

    She walked with her purple hair flowing and nodded as she listened to the explanation of the count’s servant who guided her.

    In the end, what she chose was to somehow relieve this immediate feeling.

    “This may be presumptuous, but… Cheer up.

    It’s a social church prepared for you.”

    She herself knew so clearly that even servants who knew nothing would look at her and say something like that.

    With my current mood, no matter what I try to do, I can’t help but feel depressed.

    “Thank you… … ”

    Based on her one year of living away from her family, there wasn’t much that the daughter of a baron, who was in fact a nobleman in name only, could do in this wide world.

    For showing off his pride in front of the daughter of a marquess, he was bullied harshly throughout the year that he should have enjoyed the most as a new student at the academy.

    That wasn’t enough, even my family was still under the influence.

    He couldn’t tell his family, who didn’t know anything, that it was all because of him.

    What would happen if he were to be rude to the duke’s daughter this time?

    Anne had been trying to find Lucia because she felt sorry for having fun alone just a moment ago, but now she was afraid to see her face.

    I was afraid that my emotions would boil over after seeing her.

    I’m afraid that this time I’ll do something truly irreversible.

    ‘You’ll feel better once you relax.

    For sure… … It will happen… … ‘

    People who made me feel so happy when I was confused and didn’t know anything.

    If you stay with those people, you will definitely be able to overcome this miserable feeling.

    With those thoughts, Anne walked slowly and soon reached a large door.

    “Master. A guest has arrived.”

    “Uh, let me in.”

    Anne bowed her head to the servant, who smiled gentlemanly and bowed his head, and slowly entered the room, crossing the door that was wide open with a squeak.

    And what greeted her was a group of students.

    The room was filled with the sound of a group of students smiling joyfully, regardless of gender.

    “Wow!! Hello!!”

    “Who is it? Who is it?”

    “I don’t know about that, but it’s cute!!

    What is your name?”

    “Ah… ”

    Anne froze for a moment due to the sudden outpouring of reactions, but it seemed as if a rope to save her soon appeared.

    “Questions should be asked one by one!! This is Anne.

    I think this is my first time at a social club, so let’s be nice to everyone!!”

    “Bangawoaa!!”

    “Wheeik!! Whiik!!”

    “You really came? Then let’s have fun together!!”

    Lucas suddenly appeared out of thin air, seemingly out of nowhere, and stepped forward, cheering pouring in as he did so.

    And Anne, who was surprised to see Lucas, who welcomed her, putting his hand on her waist and leading her, followed him into the middle of the room and was able to sit among the other students as he made her sit down.

    “Then there was one more person!! Then what should I do!?”

    “Self-introduction~!!”

    “Then, let’s introduce ourselves!!”

    Lucas, who seems to have experience at a youth training camp, continues the proceedings in an amazing manner, and his friends respond perfectly.

    Anne seemed to shrink a little, perhaps feeling that she was somehow left out, but soon she felt someone holding her hand.

    “It’s okay! You’ll get used to it soon!

    We can just play like fools together, right?”

    “Oh!! Show me? Do you show me?”

    “Is there a big one?!”

    While Anne was dumbfounded as she looked at the girl who was talking to her with a confident expression, a face she seemed to have seen many times before, the girl stood up slightly and roughly adjusted her clothes as those around her cheered.

    In the meantime, there is even an image of someone accepting a spoon handed to them.

    “I am Carla Sterben!!

    What is my name!?”

    “Carla!!”

    “Then what is your name!!?”

    “Ah.. Anne… !! Monehen… … ”

    Anne, embarrassed by the sudden thrust of a spoon, blurted out her name. Carla, who was watching, seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and her expression brightened.

    “It’s called Monethen!! Ah, this… !!

    It’s definitely a folding greatsword, right? I’ve seen it!!

    ah!! My hometown is Warmhausen!!

    Anne was in the swordsmanship club?”

    “Wow!! Swordsmanship Club!!”

    “Only the swordsman club kids don’t come to social clubs often…

    A few kids are playing in other groups… … ”

    “Ahaha!! Actually, there are the most students in the alchemy department here.

    As you play, more and more kids from other departments are joining you, right?!

    Now it’s almost half and half?

    So don’t worry about things like department!!

    Let’s all be friendly together!!”

    “Wow!!”

    The atmosphere is really so full of fighting spirit that you might get sick of it.

    Next to Anne, who was just staring at the atmosphere that she still couldn’t get used to, another female student was blowing on her.

    “Anne. are you okay!! Give it a try!!”

    “I… I am… … ”

    She closed her eyes tightly and hesitated for a moment.

    ‘If you let go… Will it get easier… … ?’

    All the realities, worries, and everything that bothers you.

    “Monehen!! Monehen!!”

    When she opened her eyes, she suddenly saw students around her shouting out commands as if they were cheering.

    ‘Wouldn’t it be okay to just take one step?’

    Her lips moved, but then closed tightly.

    And then she closed her eyes again and took a small deep breath from her mouth.

    “I am!! Anne Monethen!!”

    A voice so powerful that it was almost stupid was coming out.

    It’s as if they really don’t think about anything else.

    “Anne!! Anne!!”

    “Wheeik!! Swish!!”

    As Carla sat down next to her again with a laugh, other students around her began to flock to Anne’s side.

    “Are you a new student in the swordsmanship club?

    Isn’t training there difficult?”

    “That… There were times when I thought it was difficult… ”

    “Waaaa!! Cool!!”

    The attitude of friends who seem really curious about you and interested in you.

    Would this feeling have been something I would have felt if I had lived a normal life?

    “I have always dreamed of joining the swordsmanship club!!”

    “You should swing the wrench first!!

    You have to know how to do something to have a dream!!”

    “Ay!! It sucks!!

    I’m the Martin Street Monkey Spanner!!”

    “Ahahaha!!”

    “I laughed!!”

    As they were laughing at each other while making fun of each other, someone noticed Anne’s smile coming out of her mouth without realizing it and shouted loudly, and the other female students also hugged Anne from both sides and started bursting into laughter. .

    It’s a look that really makes you feel ‘close’.

    Unlike his friends in the swordsmanship club who were indifferent to him and were busy bullying him, he saw these people who just wanted to have fun together.

    ‘perhaps… Maybe I can do better this time… ..’

    Anne’s expression was also gradually shedding tension and blooming brightly.

    A pair of eyes that appeared through a crack in the door were quietly watching the lively appearance of the girl who had naturally begun to blend into the new group.
