CH 96

When I filled out and submitted the admission form in the staff room with Ursch-kun, who came back after receiving an admission notice from the head of the department, I was able to get a pass to get out of the school grounds. Once you decide on a course to enter, there will be no need to participate in the department introduction, so it seems that you can leave the premises and go back to the dormitory.

Ursch-kun and I can go from out homes, but since it’s a boarding academy, it’s a rule to enter the dormitory. Children with magical powers gather from all over the country, so a fairly large dormitory is built outside the magical academy, on the other side of the river that flows behind the magic academy and the knight’s academy. It seems you can go across the bridge to school everyday from the dormitories. Actually, I haven’t looked at the dorm room yet. Anne was supposed to bring my luggage and clean it up during the entrance ceremony.

“I’m finally entering the school. On the day I first met Ursch-kun, my father told me that we would get engaged before entering the school, and I thought I couldn’t wait that long, but somehow the time until I entered the school went by so fast.”

“In the end, we were able to get engaged in a month, so I guess it felt like no time. If the engagement had been put on hold until admission, I think it would have felt long.”

That may be true. If the engagement had really been put on until entering the school, I would have felt uncomfortable.

“That day, I thought today would be the biggest incident in my life. After that, i was surprised that the big incidents happened one after another. I’m sure meeting Isabella that day ended my boring life. Ever since then, every day has been a fun big adventure~.”

“There will still be a big adventure. Because when I graduate, I’m going on a peddling trip around the world, and I think there will be more events and more fun things.”

Yes, in three years, Ursch-kun and I will get married after graduating from the academy and go on a peddling trip around the world. Just peddling is boring, so both tourists and adventurers are also peddling. When we go around the world and find a comfortable place to live, we decided that it would be good to settle down there and do business little by little.

“It’s around the world, but I’d like to go to the Kingdom of Metalia first, is that okay?”

“It’s a country with a lot of dwarves in the south. Certainly in the country beyond the Garo Empire, there are various inventions including magic tools.”

The steam locomotive running in this country was manufactured and repaired in the Kingdom of Metalia, and the track was passed from the Kingdom of Metalia about 130 years ago to connect the surrounding seven countries, which are allies. It seems that it took 60 years to pass the railroad tracks to all seven countries. Even though there is magic, it’s amazing that it only took 60 years.

On the railroad tracks, holy wood, which is said to be avoided by monsters, is used as a floorboard, and it seems that a magic to ward off monsters is placed at equal intervals. Apparently, it is a national secret and not known where and how it is incorporated into which part. Ursch-kun seems to have some predictions.

“It seems that a large airship will be completed in the Kingdom of Metalia soon. I want to see it. I’d like to ride it someday.”

“He~. . . A large airship. That’s amazing, is it coming to this country too?”

“It seems that it will start with a regular flight with the Gorgonhas continent. The Gorgonhas continent has a lot of ores, magic stones, and magic gems. When continents are connected to each other, trade expands, so it’s highly expected.”

From what I heard, it seems that the large airship is shaped like a long balloon. I imagined something like an airplane, but it seems different. Is it a balloon-shaped airship? It’s wonderful with a steampunk image.

“I also want to see the airship fly. First of all, let’s head west to the Kingdom of Metalia!!”

“Yay! By the way, it seems that there are quite a few things to see in the Garo Empire. There is No Crystal Dungeon, the rock wall up to the fifth floor is shining, but if you shave it and take it outside, it turns into just a stone. There are no strong monsters up to the third floor, so it seems that there tours where adventurers guide tourists.”

However, it seems that the tour requires a written pledge before participating. Well, it’s a dungeon, so you’ll be in trouble if you act on your own, and there will be accidents, so a pledge is essential. Still, I guess there are tourists who want to participate.

When I was having such a conversation with Ursch-kun, we crossed the bridge and arrived at the grounds lined with dormitories.

“Well, I can’t enter the premises of the girl’s dormitory, so this is it. The site of the men’s dormitory is here, so if you have something to do, contact me with the magic items I gave you.”

“Yeah, I got it. Well, I’ll contact you again tonight.”

So I split up with Ursch-kun and proceeded to the girl’s dormitory. Probably because there are still few students who escaped from the solicitation of the departments, I couldn’t see anyone other than servants or cleaning staff.

i heard about the building and the room in advance, so I proceeded without hesitation. I’m still a duke’s daughter now, so there’s a luxurious private room in the aristocratic dormitory, and it’s okay to bring only one servant. By the way, Ursch-kun is the son of a big merchant, so he seems to be able to use a middle-class private room. It means that servants can’t be attached, so I’m worried that he might do creative activities without sleep. At least if he had someone in the same room. . .

While thinking about that, i arrived at my room, so as soon as I knocked on the door, Anne welcomed me.

“Welcome back, Ojousama. You came back very early.”

“I had already decided on a department, so I didn’t have to participate in the solicitation. After that, I’ll wait in the dormitory until next week when the class starts.”

“Is that so? By the way, before Ojousama came back, a person who said she was a friend of Ojousama came to visit.”

My friend? It would be a girl to be able to visit the girls’ dormitory. Who is it?

“Is it Alice-chan?”

“If it’s Amaryllis-sama, I know her too, but it was the first time I’ve seen this person. They were with a child.”

“With a child?”

Who is it? Only the people involved can enter the academy dormitory, so it’s probably and academy student, a servant, or an employee. . . with a child? Who is it?

“What kind of person was she?”

“She was a cute person with pink hair and green eyes. It seems that she entered the school this year. When I told her that you hadn’t returned yet, she said she would come back, and she turned around immediately, so I didn’t have time to ask her name.”

A classmate with pink hair and green eyes. . . Isn’t it Marieta? Isn’t it the heroine Marieta?

Eh? With a child? What does it mean?
