I’m a nobody merchant who peddles.
This time too I’d sold iron goods in town, stocked wheat and cloth, and was heading back to the capital with my companions.

It had been a decent profit, so we were chatting about having a drink when we got back, when one of us looked behind and shouted.
Goblin Lord, he said.

Ah, a legion. I don’t know the exact numbers, but I could see a terrible dust cloud and an especially huge boss.
Apparently they were after us.

I thought we were done.
A legion led by a Goblin Lord is fast on its feet.
Even if you run the horses on a wagon all-out, they’ll catch you in less than an hour. Continue reading →

A Sunny Entrance Ceremony

A clear sky, flowers in full bloom.
The day of the entrance ceremony had come at last.
Romulus Academy bustled with people.

The new students enrolling that day, and their families.

“Look at this white uniform! It’s the mark of the advanced class!!”

“I’m advanced class too! Does it suit me?”

“Lucky… I’m general class, so mine’s black…”

“A black uniform is fine, isn’t it. If you’d been lower class, it would have been a navy uniform, you know? Navy is unsightly.”

The uniforms the new students wore differed in color.

Those who had passed into the advanced class wore white blazers.
Those who had passed into the general class wore black blazers.
And the lower class Lady Ulrika had passed into wore navy blazers.

Before the ceremony, new students and families alike were in high spirits.
Among them, one new student was especially lively.

“The entrance ceremony~! I’m looking forward to it~!!”

Lady Ulrika, wildly excited.
In her navy uniform, she ran around making a racket.

“Lady Ulrika~, please wai~t”

“I can’t wait~!” Continue reading →

“So that’s why I’m going to the royal castle.”
“You’re going again?”

The moment I try to head for the castle.
Glad grabs me by the back of the collar and dangles me like a cat again.

“What. Let go.”
“You, if you barge into the royal castle with no warning you’ll get arrested.”
“Shut up. It’s fine, they know my face over there.”
“It ain’t fine. Why are you spoiling for a fight.”

Why. You’re asking that.

“…Listen. I get passed around every single time, and next it’s searching for a missing person?”
“I get how you feel, but calm down. I’ll talk to the castle. If you’re going, it’s tomorrow.”
“Tch. Fine.”

When I click my tongue, the adventurers watching from a distance jump.
What is it, honestly.

“You… that ain’t an attitude a girl your age should take.”
“Look, I just remembered, I haven’t had lunch.”
“Then Ouka, here.”

Smiling Liza shoves something into my mouth.
…Nng. Is this apple pie? Ooh, this is good.

“I thought you’d be hungry, so I got it ready.”
“Hahihahohi-hahan.”
“Everyone around is scared, so be a little more ladylike.”
“Gulp. Okaaay.”

Chapter 23: A Talk with a Hero

At the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Kuku… yo, ‘Night-Sakura Fantasy.'”
“I’ll kill you.”

The Second Glad Subjugation War, now open.
Liza, don’t stop me, I’ll put a round through that half-laughing old man.

“Don’t get so mad. I warned you.”
“Guh. But I didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t think.”

I just took a request. How did it actually come to this.

“I mean, normally you’d take it as an honor.”
“A town girl doesn’t need an epithet.”

I mean, what even is a town girl with an epithet.
I genuinely don’t get it.

“If you stopped calling yourself a town girl, that’d solve it, wouldn’t it?”
“This is a point I can’t give up.”
“That so. Well, I don’t care either way, but ‘Night-Sakura Fantasy’ has a visitor.”
“What now… what kind of mess?”
“That. That.” Continue reading →

Chapter 22: Heroes and an Epithet

◆ Viewpoint: Toono Tsukasa ◆

After she finished talking with us, Ouka greeted Gios and left.
She was a rather interesting person.
Her manner is very ordinary, the sort you could find anywhere. A bit rough, but a bright, good-natured girl.

That impression changes completely in combat.

She has no fear of fighting, and no strain.
In situations where a small mistake would mean a serious injury, she was smiling as if she were having fun.
Her technique was high, but more than that, her heart is strong.
Combat that natural isn’t something you see often.

That person will get stronger still.
I’m looking forward to sparring when she’s gotten stronger.
Part of it is that the way her heart is resembles someone I look up to.

I wonder where that person is now.
The one who defeated the Demon King. Our leader.

Kyousuke seemed to be thinking the same thing; when I looked, he was smiling wryly, which is rare for him.
I’ll ask Kanon again sometime.
I was thinking that vaguely when white mana started to swirl in front of me.
A high kiin sounded, an image gradually took shape, and a face I know appeared.

“Ah, re. Did the guest, already, go?” Continue reading →

Chapter 21: The Hero

“The Hero,” Toono Tsukasa.
Among the Ten Heroes summoned from another world, the strongest Hero in the world, holder of the blessing “God-Demon Annihilation”—a body that can stand even with the gods.
That he punched the Demon King flying with his bare hands at the final battle is a story even children know.
The picture books painted him as someone who should be called “the Hero” in the true sense: outstanding strength among the Ten Heroes, and a strong sense of justice to go with it.
At present he apparently travels the world helping people in trouble.

No fixed address, unemployed. Well, maybe that isn’t wrong.

By the way. Putting a knee to the ground and bowing your head is apparently called “dogeza.”
In the Hero’s original world, it amounts to the deepest possible bow.

The moment I heard that, I tried to do the same thing, and everyone around me stopped me with everything they had.
I went through with it anyway.

Preparing for Enrollment

“How is it? Does it suit me?”

“”Kyaa~! So cute~!!””

A few days after the pass announcement.
This day was for buying up the tools needed for academy life.

Five women had gathered in the school store building of Romulus Academy.
Lady Ulrika and Olivia, Charlotte, Natasha.
And Queen Victoria.

Incidentally, the reason Queen Victoria was there was simply to add to the bustle.
She had run into them by chance at Romulus Castle and stuck with them as they were.

And so the five of them borrowed a room in the store building and went on with preparations.
Lady Ulrika tried on a navy blazer and spun around.

“Mm. The size is a perfect fit! I like it!!”

“It’s good, Ulrika. It suits you wonderfully!”

“Ulrika-chan is adorable. It’s lovely!”

“Is it? Thank you, Lottie, Victoria!”

“”Hauu~n””

Queen and princess, both smitten with Lady Ulrika’s cuteness.
Like mother, like daughter.

Olivia and Natasha, meanwhile, stayed still in the corner of the room.
Faced with two royals, they had completely shrunk into themselves.

“Why… why is even Her Majesty with us…”

“I-I-I’m so nervous…” Continue reading →

A Hidden Vow

For now, I took a handful each from the shelves of the herbs most likely to be needed at once: those with analgesic effect, and those with antipyretic effect.
With this, I should be able to manage the minimum. Only the minimum, though.

And then… there was no examination room, as such. But the compounding room for making medicine was right by the door, and quite spacious.
This had surely doubled as the examination room.
Looking more closely, there was a chair for me, and facing it a chair a patient would sit in.
Besides that, perhaps it had doubled as a waiting room: some five chairs were lined along the wall.

I see, I thought.
It went without saying that you could not look at several dozen patients all at once.
But if you narrowed it to one plus five like this, you could probably manage.
It had likely never been this crowded in ordinary times, and if people were made to wait outside, those who could not stand and wait would have been brought in first.
That way, the minimum necessary prioritizing would have been done.

“So this is the power of experience, I suppose.” Continue reading →

I show my face at the Adventurer’s Guild first thing, and receptionist Liza is there today too.
Getting to see a beautiful woman first thing in the morning is a good thing.
The fierce-faced guildmaster Glad doesn’t seem to be in today, either.

“Liza, morniiing.”
“Oh, good morning. I thought it was about time.”
“Eh, what?”
“A named request came in. Here.”

She hands me a request form with a bright smile.
Uh, what? Request details: combat training?
Client: the Royal Knight Order.
…Combat training? Eh, named, for me?

“…Why is a request like this coming to me?”
“Your name spread after the ogre subjugation, I would think.”
“Ah… this looks like a huge pain. Can I turn it down?”
“The guild would like you to take it, but… no?”

U. Liza, that sad face is cheating.

“Muu. All right, I’ll take it.”
“Will you? Thank you.”

Ooh. So this is what a smile like a flower blooming looks like.
Beautiful people are unfair. In all sorts of ways. Continue reading →

A few days after the entrance exam.
Many young people had gathered on the schoolyard of Romulus Academy.
The examinees who had sat the exam.

“I did it! I passed!!”

“No way… my name isn’t there…”

“The advanced class! Look, the advanced class!!”

What was happening that day was the announcement of pass and fail, and class placement.
A large paper had been posted on the bulletin board, listing the names of those who had passed and their classes.

The examinees rose and fell with the results.
Then Lady Ulrika arrived too.

“Over there! I’m looking forward to this!!”

“Please wait, Lady Ulrika!”

Lady Ulrika pattered off; Olivia hurried after her.
Charlotte and Natasha followed slowly behind.

“Uuu… I’m so nervous…”

“You’ll be fine, Natasha. Have confidence.”

“Lottie! Sasha! Come quickly!!” Continue reading →
