Chapter Index

    “Even his hands are very big.”

    “It’s my pride. It is thanks to these hands that I was able to reach this position.”

    “I held this with precious hands.”

    “Hehehe. I am honored that you think so.”

    After the Light Moon guys retreated, the training center leader appeared, holding hands with Hysterion and continuing a friendly conversation.

    It feels like dealing with a VIP customer.

    “By the way, why did you come all the way to this far away training center?”

    “Giggles~ I just came here to see a fortune.”

    “Lots of luck?… .”

    Hysterion expressed confusion.

    It seemed like it was because of the familiar saying “good luck.”

    However, he quickly regained his expression and responded by glancing at Ronica.

    “That is correct. You will be surprised to hear what Cadet Lonica contributed to this incident.”

    “Hoo. Is that so?”

    “This is also fate, so let’s talk about it inside. I will prepare tea.”

    The training center director requested Hysterion.

    Let’s have a chat inside.

    “Is there really a need for that?”

    “large. That’s because I have something to talk about. How could it not work?”

    “Hmm… I understand.”

    Hysterion eventually agreed to the interview at the request of the training center director, who recommended it again.

    He turned around for a moment and spoke to Ronica.

    “I would like to talk to you for a moment, is it okay?”

    “Of course! Bye. I’ll be chatting with my friends.”

    “Thank you. Then.”

    The training center director and Hysterion disappeared into the main building. So the time for a proper conversation between Ronica and Venus has arrived.

    Accordingly, Ronica led the group first.

    “Good! Everyone gather after me!~”

    Cheek!

    With that one word, everyone quickly gathered together.

    The old charisma hasn’t died down, and he is skilled at handling gang members.

    Next, Ronica held the hand of Fiona, who had been staring blankly from earlier, and helped her up.

    “Wow.”

    “Now, let me introduce you. This is Fiona. He’s my friend I made at training camp, so treat him well.”

    “Hoo~ It’s cute.”

    “Hey! I told you not to spit out such third-rate lines!!”

    “Oh, what’s wrong? I was just stating facts.”

    “… me. Cute?”

    Fiona expressed her doubts.

    It was cute that he was pointing at himself.

    Andro rushed towards him.

    “Ronika’s new friend~ Is he so cute?”

    “… me. Really cute?”

    “Oh. I’m sorry if I offended you. The blue hair and doll-like face are so pretty!”

    “Heh~ I’m cute.”

    “Hmm? You’re an unusual friend, aren’t you? I think I know why Ronika likes it.”

    As a sociable guy, Andro started the conversation by asking Fiona about various things, and during that time, Rowen approached Ronica.

    Rowen first slightly bowed his head to me and then spoke to Ronica.

    “It’s been a while.”

    “Yes. I’m so happy to see you again.”

    “I heard that a warlock attacked. You’re feeling fine, right?”

    “As you can see, he’s very cheerful!”

    Ronica clenched her fists, and Rowen responded with a grin.

    “Thank goodness. Everyone was worried.”

    “Hee hee. Rather than that… This is everyone’s first time at training camp, right? While Grandpa Hysterion is here, I’ll introduce you to what kind of place it is. Instead, you have to follow along quietly.”

    The Venus organization members who were waiting for their turn responded one after another.

    “Of course!”

    “I am very quiet!!~”

    “Are you already noisy?”

    Hustle and bustle.

    Ah, the familiar atmosphere of Venus.

    It’s not that bad after a long time.

    At that time, an instructor appeared.

    “Ronika. If it’s okay, I’d like to help introduce the training center. How about it?”

    “Instructor Tsunami! Of course you are welcome.”

    Warm atmosphere.

    But it doesn’t really interest me.

    Therefore, he conveyed his intentions to his disciple out of love.

    ‘I’ll rest somewhere else.’

    The answer came right away.

    ‘huh! ‘I’ll be waiting.’

    Approval was easily given.

    I left Ronica and Venus to untie the fish and escaped.

    I’m not really going to rest. What I’m curious about is the conversation between the training center director and Hysterion.

    What kind of conversation will the two have? .

    Ta-tat~

    I headed to the main building.

    To spy on their conversation.

    *

    Width~

    I easily climbed to the 7th floor window of the training center.

    He left the window of the training center director’s interview room slightly open and hid his presence.

    Soon, a voice came from inside.

    “The reason I called you here is because I wanted to ask about sponsorship.”

    “Oh, I didn’t sponsor it with any special intention, so don’t worry. As I wrote in the sponsorship letter, it was simply for a better training camp life.”

    “Then… Is there really no purpose?”

    “If there was, I would have said it a long time ago.”

    It’s sponsorship.

    I had predicted the training center director’s attitude toward Ronica and the training supplies when they were replaced with new ones, but it seems that Hysterion sponsored the training center as expected.

    So, he must have greeted Hysterion directly with a happy expression.

    The two continued talking.

    “But isn’t there a reason for sponsoring it?”

    “… If you ask that much… … To put it bluntly, Ronica. For him. Ronica is my benefactor who saved something more precious than my life.”

    “Was that really the case? To be honest, it was such a large amount that I couldn’t help but ask. Please forgive my rudeness.”

    “No, you don’t need to do that. In fact, I sent it after understanding the situation at the training camp.”

    “Did you know?”

    “With just a little digging, you can see that the training center is being harassed by the central nobility.”

    The conversation soon degenerated into politics.

    Hysterion had already completed an investigation into the training center and knew everything about the situation.

    I guess he was worried about Ronica deep down.

    The story got a little longer.

    Current state of the kingdom.

    Corruption at the training center.

    It continued to such a dark story.

    “You really knew everything… I don’t know what to say because I’m embarrassed.“

    “Huh. I guess you have less political sense than I thought. It may be a little rude, but the director is largely responsible for the training center changing like this.”

    “… … I know.”

    “If I had known this, I would have come to see you a long time ago.”

    Hysterion let out a weak sigh.

    He then gave advice with a sharp face.

    “Listen carefully. Are you saying that the central government arbitrarily reduced funding for training centers? In that case, I should have taken responsibility even if it meant taking some responsibility. These issues can be easily decided by the central government-”

    It’s a somewhat familiar trend.

    If you think about it, Hysterion gave Ronica advice like that when he first saw her.

    So that means… Hysterion liked the training center director.

    So much so that he gives me advice directly.

    After Hysterion, it taught us how to deal with the central nobility from a slightly broader perspective.

    All valuable advice.

    The training center director repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

    Hysterion quietly watched the training center leader’s appearance and opened his mouth again as if he had decided on something.

    “I can’t help it. Let me help you.”

    “What?… .”

    “The opponents are those who seek to wield power. If you know the purpose, it’s easy to deal with it. I will look after your back, so the director has confidence-”

    to summarize.

    Fight back.

    Don’t worry about finances.

    Sponsorship will continue in the future.

    The authority of the training center director is absolutely considerable, so don’t give up before the fight.

    If you can’t figure it out, ask yourself for help.

    therefore… .

    I will be your back.

    That is how it was declared.

    Unlike Magnus, he is a magnate named Hysterion who is rich and has great political sense.

    “That… How can I be thankful?”

    “The initiative is already in the training camp. I just need a little help. This is why I’m intervening, so don’t feel pressured and do whatever you want.”

    “Still, I didn’t know it would help you this much.”

    “Again, for Ronica’s sake.”

    “… What a blessing.”

    “Ah, of course, as my loss is great, I hope the director can help me when I am in trouble. I have heard all too well about the warden’s military power.”

    “If that’s the case, you’re welcome. It’s easier that way than this headache.”

    “Then, you can stay with me after your training camp term ends. We can treat you with respect.”

    “Are you really recruiting me?”

    “There’s nothing you can’t do.”

    “Large… If a comfortable retirement is guaranteed, I will consider it positively.”

    “It’s good. To me, the training center director seems like a genuine person, so I believe he will change this place for the right thing.”

    The unity of two giants.

    The head of the training center is Hysterion’s wealth and wisdom.

    Hysterion is the military power of the training center director.

    That’s how we formed an alliance.

    Big~

    Feel so good.

    Actually, I was planning on using Hysterion to help him at the training center.

    But why?

    It was established before I even stepped forward.

    The tail is wagging.

    Annoying things have been reduced.

    Hysterion will take care of it and give great help in reorganizing the training center.

    “I’d like to stop talking about boring things and talk about something else.”

    “What are you talking about… .”

    “What kind of cadet was Ronika here?”

    Afterwards, the two talked about Ronica.

    The training center director did not spare praise for Ronica’s performance in the incident, and Hysterion did not show it out loud, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised when he heard Ronica’s news.

    A conversation that continues for a long time.

    Now I see that they are quite suitable companions.

    Sze-

    I turned around.

    I heard everything I needed to know.

    Since the two have formed an alliance, there is no reason for me to care any more.

    The training center will be reorganized on its own.

    Hook!~

    He jumped from the window and returned to his disciple.

    *

    “Take care.”

    “Yes, training center director.”

    “You should not neglect training just because you are resting.”

    “Of course! Be careful not to let the tsunami catch you, instructor. Because I’m going to grow like crazy from now on!!”

    “It may sound ridiculous, but… If that’s really the case, I’ll be happy to congratulate you.”

    Time for farewell.

    Ronica greeted the training center director and the tsunami instructor in front of the carriage. The instructors and cadets gathered at the training site looked on quietly.

    A pretty intense dismissal ceremony.

    From this day on, the name Lonica will become quite famous at the training camp.

    It won’t spread much because the school is closed, but at least there will be fewer people who start a fight like Light Moon when they come back to the training center.

    “Fiona. I’ll cover it carefully. Don’t forget the light magic I taught you and practice it consistently.”

    “Instructor’s expectations. I will live up to it!!… Yes!”

    “Okay. I’m looking forward to it.”

    Fiona also said hello to the Chalosi instructor.

    For your information, Fiona decided to leave the hospital in a carriage with Ronica.

    He said he originally planned to walk out alone.

    Of course, this is not a Lonica that we will wait and see.

    He really persuaded me that he would save me a carriage.

    The Venus group also welcomed us greatly. This is because she is Ronica’s friend and because Andro really likes Fiona.

    So we all set off together.

    Venus leisurely left the training center, capturing the attention of many instructors and cadets.

    If it’s long, it’s long.

    If it’s short, it’s a short period of time.

    Now it’s time to return to Venus.

    *

    Hehehehe.

    The carriage shakes.

    Although it was an expensive and stable carriage, it was inevitable that it would shake because it was a mountain road.

    “It’s nice to ride the carriage together like this~”

    “Yes! It’s so tight because I’m with Andrew too!!”

    But what’s the point of shaking?

    Andrew and Ronica just chatted without any restrictions, saying things were good and good.

    For reference, there were 4 people on board each carriage.

    In other words, this place.

    Ronica.

    Andrew.

    Fiona.

    Hysterion.

    This is how it is boarded.

    Other members of the Rowen, Golden Fist, and Venus organizations shared different carriages, and the warriors and knights escorted the carriages from outside.

    It feels like I am on an upward journey.

    “How was your friend Fiona’s training camp life?”

    “… Twice as much fun as usual.”

    “Really? Is the training center that much fun?”

    “Because Ronica is there!”

    “Huh? Hahaha. You are really fun.”

    Andro asked Fiona about life at the training camp and how Ronica was.

    Ronica happily listened to Fiona’s answers or asked additional questions, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly as if Fiona didn’t like it either.

    “Kkekekekekekeul… What a fun kid. My granddaughter will definitely like it.”

    Hysterion also looked at Fiona happily.

    At first, it seemed like he was observing every detail because he was Ronica’s friend, but now he seemed like an old man just staring at something cute.

    “Oh, by the way. Grandfather Hysterion. I’d like to get a carriage for my friend Fiona. So that you can get home comfortably.”

    “Huh? A carriage?”

    “Fiona lives alone with her teacher in the mountains. It’s a distance that takes several days, but he walks alone. So I want to help.”

    “Hmm… okay. If you say so, I’ll give you at least a carriage.”

    “Thank you!! Fiona. Thank you too.”

    “… Thank you very much!! ”

    “Cluck… Me too. I don’t give in to requests like this easily, but for some reason, you want to help.”

    “… If so, thank you one more time!!! ”

    Warm atmosphere.

    The four people quickly became close friends, sharing stories they hadn’t talked about before.

    So comfortably all the way to Venus… … .

    Tiring!

    ◎︎ Malice detection reacts.

    I felt unpleasant.

    It’s bigger than the Labyrinth incident, and compared to the Arch Reach, it’s a very weak and cute intuition, but it’s definitely an annoying feeling.

    Whenever this intuition was activated, something annoying would happen.

    The feeling speaks.

    Someone is going to attack this place.

    Lunch is likely to be a bit troublesome.

    … Who will it be this time?

    This guy is annoying me.
