We did it. Not only did Anna get a perfect score, but Margaret got a perfect score, and Isabella is very close to getting a perfect score.
And for some reason, Amy, who was supposed to be a smart girl, is getting worse and worse. It seems to me that the content of the test is just barely up to the level of Japanese junior high school, but how can this happen when she has memories of her previous life?
Well, I don't care. There is no real harm these days.
Amy is quiet as if she's been nailed, and the Crown Prince and his friends are in a state where they are helpless against Anna.
He doesn't mess with me at all these days because I win in both magic and sword fighting in the class by an overwhelming margin.
I don't know if I was lazy or couldn't get out, but I'm sure I didn't level up during the winter break.
Anyway, as long as they don't interfere with us, there's no need for us to do anything to them as we don't care.
I'm more concerned about succession disputes and foreign relations than that.
Conflict can only occur on the same level. And the opposite of love is indifference.
I never thought I would feel these words this way.
????
Now, today I have promised to go to the Adventurer's Guild with Anna.
Oh, before I go, I'm not talking about introducing Anna to master or anything like that. If I do that, my head will physically fly.
Eh? What if it doesn't mean that? Well, I know that but still…
Anyway, we students at the school need to do some independent research during the summer vacation.
And Anna wanted to know about the role that adventurers play in this country, so we decided to visit the guild to see if it could be a theme.
I've notified the guild in advance, so there should be no problem.
By the way, Margaret and Isabella are also planning to do independent research together, but they have their own interests, so I've asked them to do some research at the library today, and we'll get together later to decide on a theme.
Now that we had changed into civilian clothes, we headed for the guild on foot instead of using the Duke's carriage to avoid causing a scene. Anna was too conspicuous, so I asked her to wear a hooded cloak, though it would be a little hot.
We walked down the main street of the town, then around the corner to a street that was off the main street. Thereupon I saw Amy and her friends, who I thought were unimportant earlier, in an alleyway.
"Huh? Amy-sama? Also, the Crown Prince and the others? What on earth are they doing in a place like this?"
If you look closely, you can see that they seem to be surrounding a small person wearing a crude linen robe against the wall.
Umm? I'm not sure about the situation, but what is going on here?
We look at each other and nod, then quietly approached them.
That person looks very thin. A man would not be that thin, so it must be a woman who is surrounded by them.
"That's why I'm telling you that we'll get rid of the monsters. So hurry up and guide us to the village."
"We are the best in our grade. We will not abandon those who are in trouble because of being attacked by monsters."
Following Amy, Leonardo says so. However, since I am special, I'll leave it at that, but isn't the top performer of the grade already Ana, and isn't you guys that are largely isolated?
What's more, how can you be so high and mighty even if you're at the top of your class?
"Hii, That's why I told you there's no such thing as demons–"
The woman, who looked completely terrified, countered with a shiver.
"How dare you lie to me, the next king?"
"No, I'm not lying."
Umm? For the time being let's help her? I feel like I've heard that voice before.
And in contrast to them, Markus and Oscar, who are together but didn't involve. I wonder if they feel guilty about it?
However, I feel like I'm just as guilty when I don't stop it.
I glanced at Ana, and she nodded widely, so I called out to them.
"Hey. What are you guys doing out here in a place like this?"
Then Amy glared at me like an Oni.
"What! Are you going to interfere with me again? It's not like you're trying to stop me from getting my blessing, is it?"
"Um? What are you talking about?"
I have no idea what she is talking about.
But the next moment, the petite woman dashed toward me.
"A-Allen, help me!"
Then she tackled me in the stomach with tremendous force.
"Owa~tsu!? W-What the hell?"
I couldn't avoid it because Anna was behind me, so I took it in a hurry.
"Hmm? Could that voice be Sheryl Laura-san?"
"That's right! Please, some weird guy is threatening me out of nowhere! Help me! I'm sure he's going to take my money!"
When I heard that, I felt the air around Anna became cold.
Dangerous! Is she angry!
"I see. Your Highness, what are you trying to achieve by committing robbery in the middle of the city?"
"W-What kind of nonsense are you saying? We came here because Amy received a divine prophecy that there would be a person here who would seek help for their village which will get attacked by the monsters. And according to the prophecy, this woman appeared in the exact place and appearance described in the prophecy."
Hmm? Prophecy? blessing? Sheryl Laura-san will?
Ah, I see! So this is the compulsory event of the request for help from the elf village.
"Uh, Sheryl Laura-san. Did something like that happened?"
"We're not being attacked by the monsters! I'm here to request Allen for a job!"
Sheryl Laura-san, who tucked herself behind my back, said so.
"Um, that's how it is, so can you stop pestering her now?"
However, he glared at me and wouldn't follow those words.
"Your Highness? Is it really okay for Your Highness to rob in the middle of the city?"
When Anna said this to the Crown Prince with the cold glares she has shown for the first time in a while, he looked as if he had given up.
"Kuh, It's no use. Let's go home!"
"Eh? Wait a minute? Karl-sama."
Then they glared at us and walked away embarrassed.
