chapter 40

“Okay, let’s talk about the test.”

When our stomachs were full, we gathered in front of the reception desk once again.

“Did Theon ask you that?”

She hums her nose when she asks Theon next to her.

“You know what? I don’t have time for this either. But today’s schedule starts from Sun’s absence, so I’ll keep you company in the meantime.”

Sun’s absence is about 3:00 PM.

When I was about to say, “You’re not busy, are you?”

The city bell rang. It was the bell that announced the sun’s absence.

“Ohhhh, I have to get back! Just remember, Tsumugi! See you later, Ouka-chan.”

Theon left in a hurry. “Go on with your business.”

Now, once again.

“There’s some increase in the number of people at……”

Me, Ouka, Mativa, and two adventurers I don’t know.

On one side is a short brown-haired boy with silver plate armour all over his body and only his helmet removed.

The other is a girl with long blonde hair, wearing a purple dress and a witch hat with a curved tip. She carries a brush-shaped long broomstick in a cherishing manner.

“These two have to take the test together.”

“Nice to meet you! My name is Sen!”

“I’m Nana. It’s nice to meet you.”

“Hi. Hi.”

“I’m slave Ouka. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Sen’s black eyes and Nana’s grey eyes sparkled.

The pressure of the first time made me return the greeting in a small voice. Ouka is in good spirits. Maybe it’s because her stomach is full.

They must have grown up in a friendly competition with each other. Their expressions are full of themselves.

And that ability. It’s something you don’t get to see very often.

In contrast, Sen’s eyes are all over Ouka. Even though she wears the hood of perception inhibition…….

“Duh, slave…..”

I could hear Sen spitting. Puberty, huh?

Immediately, Nana tugged at my cheeks, “Meh. You’re in the rear.”

“You’re going to have to take them both this time.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I’ll get you to do the same quests, but only one of them will be completed.”

The four of us nodded our heads at Mativa’s explanation.

I imagined something radical, like killing each other or something extreme, because Gilmouth says I’m going to die……

It wouldn’t be a strange quest as another two completely unrelated people would also take it.

And yet, is it pointless to think that you can only clear one of them……

Mativa gives us a quick answer.

“The quest you’ll be taking on is to find people.”
