“To not recognize your ability will be nothing else but personally trampling my own effort? Such things as making excuses with this and that here, my pride doesn’t allow it!” (David)

“Uwaa……although he may not be a bad person, he was a somewhat irritating person……” (Tomochika)

Three people had been walking side-by-side on the street of the royal capital.

In the middle was Tomochika, who was *goro goro* dragging along a huge truck case, Yogiri was to her right, and David was to her left.

David was speaking this and that, and Tomochika was making agreeable responses. If one spoke of Yogiri, whether or not he wasn’t very interested he was feigning ignorance.

“Did you say something?” (David)

“No, please try your best and make an effort to train.” (Tomochika)

Replying halfheartedly, Tomochika looked forward. It was an elegant townscape that made you feel history.

There were numerous buildings made of stone, but it appeared that it wasn’t covered in magic like the castle walls. As it was a millenium ago when the Grand Sorcerer Igleshia had been active, this town should have been made in those days. It should have been repaired if it wore out mostly, so it wouldn’t be that the buldings of a millenium ago were left as is.

And, in front was the biggest and tallest building, which stood towering over this city.

It was the royal castle.

That place was the destination that Tomochika and others went towards, and it was the place their classmates were. It was said that they would have an audience with the king today.

The royal castle was in the heart of the royal capital, and you could see the majestic appearance from anywhere in the royal capital.

It was unlikely that it was necessary to be guided and so forth if so, but thus didn’t continue. Whether or not they weren’t thinking about town planning and the like, the town was complex.

“I have been worrying about it since some time ago, but aren’t there many people who are unusually armed?” (Tomochika)

To Tomochika, it simply couldn’t be thought that the people who were walking on the street were the general masses that enjoyed shopping.

There were many warrior-like people, who were carrying spears and bow and arrows on their backs, wearing a sword on their waist, and wearing armor, that were walking.

It was too much to be a soldier that was defending the city, and foremost, the equipment wasn’t unified.

“They are explorers. They are warriors who challenge the world of spirits. This kingdom was made for that reason originally.” (David)

“Yes?” (Tomochika)

The world of spirits. Tomochika was bewildered at not being able to feel a sense of reality in those abrupt words.

“The world of spirits?” (Yogiri)

Outside of the perplexed Tomochika, Yogiri asked.

“The world of spirits is the domain of the Devil, which is below this royal capital. Well, in any case the Devil is sealed in an underground place, and its kin are trying to come out. Exploring the world of spirits and stopping its kin are the explorers.” (David)

“Wasn’t the Devil just the canyon!? How many of them are there!” (Tomochika)

Just the other day, Yogiri just killed the Devil, but Tomochika hadn’t thought that there were others at all.

“Canyon? I don’t know that, but don’t you all, the knights of the Holy Queen, know it very well if it is regarding the kin and the devils?” (David)

Whether or not he thought it was suspicious again, David gazed at them with eyes of skepticism.

“We’ve heard that they will fight with the kin, but we don’t know as far as such things as how many there are.” (Yogiri)

Thereupon Yogiri replied nonchalantly. Not being perturbed at all in such scenes was Yogiri’s forte.

“Are you even a knight of the Holy Queen with a thing like that? Well, the devils are an internal threat, but there aren’t many things known with the exception of the parties that confront it. Rather, it is enough that it’s unusual in this town where it is public that there is a devil.” (David)

“You just go straight after if you’ve come up to here, dont you? The guidance was fine up to here.” (Yogiri)

Yogiri falsified the story. It seemed he thought that faults would appear if they spoke more than this.

“That’s right. Well, there isn’t much meaning in accompanying you until the royal castle, huh.” (David)

David said so, and left quickly.

“Even though he guided us at great pains, aren’t you a little coldhearted?” (Tomochika)

“If he was with us the whole time, it would be difficult to talk about the matters of from now on.” (Yogiri)

“From now on?” (Tomochika)

Tomochika didn’t understand well and inclined her head.

“Well. After this, we are going to meet those guys of our class, right?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri said as if amazed.

“Ah, that’s right. We’ll be asked such things as how did we come up to here, and how did we escape from the dragon. We have to think about excuses or something like that!” (Tomochika)

“There is also that, but isn’t the first thing we have to think about is whether or not Dannoura-san will forgive them?” (Yogiri)

“Ah!” (Tomochika)

Only after he said so, did Tomochika get a little angry.

Reputable that you could see the royal castle well, one room of a high class hotel. Tomochika and others were sitting on a sofa that faced the reception corner.

It was troublesome to move as is carrying large baggage, because Yogiri was talking about things about from now on.

“Such things as excuses, isn’t it pointless to just think about it if you massacre those guys of the class?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri said disinterestedly right after sitting on the sofa.

“That’s awfully dark! Aren’t you a pyschopath in that situation!?” (Tomochika)

Tomochika drew back a little at the excess remark.

She had thought it was his policy to kill only the enemies that attacked them, but it seemed that it wasn’t thus.

“We were left in a place where we’d certainly die if we were abadoned. I think we have the qualifications to take revenge. They tried to kill us, so they aren’t able to complain about being killed.” (Yogiri)

“No, that is……I have very many points that offend me with everyone in the class, but it’s still killing them. Even I have been thinking with resentment up to now……” (Tomochika)

There was no way for the greater majority to survive. There was no problem to get over it with that.

However, having lived safely this way now, she hadn’t felt that there were that many hardships so far. Tomochika didn’t happen to have an anger like she was boiling, like it deserved revenge.

“At any rate, it’s fine with that once you decide so. Putting on airs is the most troublesome. Whether or not we will kill them or we will stop, you’ll become unable to move at the time if you are worrying about this and that.” (Yogiri)

“How about Takatou-kun? Aren’t you mad?” (Tomochika)

“I’m indifferent. Because I wasn’t close with them from the start, I don’t think that I was betrayed. Even if I don’t have such requirements as I don’t have a gift or something like that, wasn’t I chosen if someone was to be sacrified?” (Yogiri)

“Well……that is……one’s normal behavior is important, right……” (Tomochika)

Tomochika said earnestly.

“So, shouldn’t we think of an excuse if the policy is like that?” (Tomochika)

“That’s right. First of all, how do we explain our abilities? It is impossible to make it into contents that can’t be real even if we are able to disguise our statuses.” (Yogiri)

?Yeah. My analysis is also progressing. It is possible to change the configuration of the concierge’s ring somehow.?(Mokomoko)

The two had a ring to disguise their statuses. They were falsifying that they didn’t have gifts by means of that.

“Takatou-kun seems to be it because he has a unique ability in reality, though.” (Tomochika)

“They won’t believe me even if I explain that I can kill anything, and even if they could believe it they’d be worried by that. But what target should I narrow it down to?” (Yogiri)

So, Yogiri’s class was insect exterminatorinsect hunter. His ability was to kill insects.

That much of a threat wasn’t given to people if it was this, and it’d end at that if he tried to kill insects somewhere even if they said to show it.

“So, what do I do? Even if it is said that it’s a unique ability, it’s to the extent of being possessed by a irritating background spirit.” (Tomochika)

?I always think it, but I want you to have the heart to respect your ancestors!?(Mokomoko)

“How about configurating it as a spirit ability user?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri suggested. Certainly, they wouldn’t be telling a lie if it was this.

?Yeah. By surrounding and annihilating my other spirits, it is possible to assert that it was exorcism, but the ways to convey that effect to people are limited.?(Mokomoko)

“That’s right. Since it can’t be seen normally.” (Tomochika)

?Yeah. But I have a good idea! It will take a little time to prepare, but it’s fine as I intend to board a large ship!?(Mokomoko)

“Eeehh! But there isn’t much time anymore?” (Tomochika)

The audience with the king may have begun already. They wouldn’t be able to be at leisure like so.

?Yeah. That’s it. Even though I seem to be doing such without a care, because I am continuing to do complex calculations by multitasking in the background, I have a feeling that I am in some way or another a little more!?(Mokomoko)

“At worst, isn’t it fine with a swordswoman that moves unexpectedly or something like that?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri said something truly ‘whatever works’. Probably without thinking about it at all.

“Isn’t that not having an ability in the end!” (Tomochika)

For the time being, even though it was expected from Mokomoko’s idea, it was Tomochika who had nothing but anxiety.
