Chapter 65

t

Rosetta was surprised to hear that .

「Eh? Is it fine for me to not take it alone?」

It was a test to judge the propriety of Rosetta .

Therefore, Rosetta was under the impression she would have to overcome the test alone .

「Aren’t you a scout?」

「Yes」

「Scout is a job that functions within a party, right?」

「That is so…」

「Umu, Arti, Tina, I have already gotten approval from your masters . Thus, I want you to participate」

If there was approval from their masters, than this test is also a part of their guidance .

They have no choice but to participate .

Regardless of that, Arti and Tina still would have cooperated .

「Understood, I will do my best!」

Tina replied in a fully motivated sense .

「Yes, please leave it to me」

Arti replied calmly but, there is a fire in her eyes .

Arti’s master, Xenovia, nodded to Arti’s response .

Regina approached me .

And of all things, she brought her face close to mine .

As she did, naturally the 「Jukooo」 sound became plainly clear to the ears .

「Will still isn’t Milt’s disciple yet but… Milt has also given his approval . So, it would be best to participate」

「…U-Understood」

I somehow restrained from laughing, and replied .

「Oh? Is Will reluctant to participate?」

「Nothing of the sort」

「Really〜」

「Pushuu」

Finally, I spurted out .

Apparently, Regina had realized I was about to laugh .

It was obvious that she was trying to make me laugh .

「What is it? Will, are you feeling unwell?」

With those words, in order to try to measure my body temperature, Regina brought her forehead to mine .

As she was wearing a full-face helmet, it was cold . There was no way she could measure the temperature through the helmet .

Regina was deliberately doing this to make me laugh .

Her tone of voice becoming cheeky is the proof .

Regina was trying to make me laugh .

In order to hold back from bursting out, I think of something quick .

「I am feeling fine, and am perfectly healthy」

「Is that true〜?」

Regina said with a cheeky tone .

It was immensely funny as the short statured Regina starts speaking in a cheeky voice .

As my cheeks began twitching, Xenovia called out .

「Regina… that should be enough」

「Umu, I’ll let it go in consideration for Xenovia」

Rosetta and Tina did not understand the meaning of the back and forth between Regina and I .

Therefore, they were staring blankly .

I could not discern whether Arti understood the meaning or not, as she was standing firmly with a lack of expression .

As Regina sat back on the couch, Rosetta asked .

「Regina-sama, what are the contents of the test?」

Hearing the question, Regina replied seriously .

「You will find out once you take the test」

「Understood」

「However, the difficulty is not low」

Then, Regina muttered in a whisper .

「Even if you became a disciple, without talent you would simply suffer unnecessarily…」

Xenovia said with a gentle tone .

「Tomorrow and the day after are off days from classes, right」

「Yes, that’s right, President-sensei」

This was the first I’m hearing about tomorrow being an off day .

However, Tina responded as though it was a given .

If I didn’t hear about it, then that must mean it was after the end of Homeroom .

Regina nodded in consent .

「Umu, that is just right . Complete your preparations from this moment forth, and head to the dungeon」

「Roger! I will do my best!」

「Rosetta… that was a fine response」

Then, Regina looked at us one by one .

「This is a test to become my disciple . Be careful」

「Yes, please leave it to me!」

「Yes」

As Arti replied softly, Xenovia said .

「Arti, this test will also be beneficial to you」

「Yes, I will do my best」

「Tina, there is a word from Dion as well」

At that instant, Tina straightened herself more than ever .

「Do what you do best . That is all」

「Yes!」

After receiving her master’s words, Tina seemed delighted .

Nevertheless, I have something important to say .

「Well, can I say something?」

「Mu? What is it, Will?」

「 I would have to entrust my sister to the nursery」

Xenovia nodded .

「I will personally request an extension from the nursery」

「Thank you, but, I ought to directly tell my sister that I will be venturing out today」

「…That is true . Will, Rosetta, Return back here after visiting the nursery」

「Thank you」

「That would be helpful」

I and Rosetta ran to the nursery .

As we reached the nursery,

「Anicha!」

「Welcome back」

Saria and Rose rushed towards us .

From behind them, RunRun slowly walked towards us .

I hugged up Saria .

「Saria, I received an important job today… I might not return until tomorrow or the day after that」

「…Understood!」

「I am sorry for letting you be lonely」

「It is alright! Anicha, do your best at work!」

I tightly embraced Saria, as she said such admirable words .
