68 – Homecoming (1)

“… Heinz, even Siegfried students. This is Empsted Joe.”

After Bella’s calling, it was time to gather in groups.

As I called out earlier, Hans, Hilda, Reina, and Elaine began to gather around me as soon as Bella finished speaking.

“Please take care of me, Miss Elaine.”

“I-I am… .”

“The same group as you.”

“Huh, please take good care of me. Altein-kun.”

A combination I never thought of was born.

Two people who were originally supposed to be over there came here.

‘The only thing that’s fortunate is that Zed is still there.’

Jed and Heinz stayed with Siegfried as the original story told.

Luckily, there doesn’t seem to be a complete story twist.

Hopefully we can change this.

After all, Joe changes every time you practice.

Since it is a chapter corresponding to the beginning of the game, such a big incident does not happen even in the first practice. In a way, it’s hard to see that the story is completely twisted.

“So, who is in charge?”

“captain?”

“Concentrate. The instructor just told me to select a leader.”

Looking to the other side of Reina’s words, Siegfried was pointing at each other.

As Reina said, it seems that the leader is being decided.

As expected, Siegfried became the leader over there.

“Huh, then I’ll try it.”

“It would be better for a gongnyeo to do it than for a strange kid like you. No, that’s the best.”

“I-I also think it’s good for the princess to do it… !”

“Then, since everyone is pointing at you, you will have to promote it. Raina.”

Being a leader in group assignments is like buying and receiving stress.

Of course, this place and Hyundai are different, but I know from the game that there are many things to pay attention to.

It would be better for smart Reina to do it.

“… I know. I will do it.”

After being pointed out by everyone, Reina nodded helplessly and headed towards Bella.

“As expected, there is no one but the gongnyeo.”

Tzzle-

I was going to give you a compliment, but he instantly shoots at me.

Unknowingly, I turned my head and averted my gaze.

No, even if I praise you, it’s crazy.

“By the way, Belgrove… Altean, have you ever been there?”

“No. In the first place, the distance from our territory is on the far side.”

“Whoops… .”

“Hilda, have you ever been there?”

“A while ago… whooping… .”

“The more I look at it, the more it makes me laugh.”

Hans shook his head in disgust.

Belgrove was a place that even I didn’t know about because it was only mentioned in the game.

I couldn’t use my game knowledge from the start, so I didn’t even know what was there.

“Because we chose a place where most of you have never been before.”

“Instructor?”

“It seems that the leader has been decided between Aistin and Siegfried, respectively.”

Bella, back with Reina, looks at me and asks.

“Everyone was in agreement.”

“I guess so.”

“When are you leaving?”

“This practice is not to see how well you do in a given assignment in an unfamiliar place, but to see how you solve it. The sooner we start, the better.”

Bella raised her hand to draw the attention of the room and continued.

“The point at which the academy curriculum will resume in earnest is next week. External training will also be conducted at that time.”

“Where are you going, Instructor?”

“Like in the practical class, we will watch both groups through the sight method. If necessary, I may go there myself.”

indeed.

As in the hands-on class that revealed Hans’ cheating, if he used magic, he could watch both Empsted and Belgrove.

The further the distance, the higher the mastery of the magic, but it doesn’t seem to matter to Bella.

“Then, are you going to the local area on the same day?”

“A carriage will be ready at the carriage stop south of the city. I’ll be there too, so all you have to do is come. Oh, but make sure you bring at least some clothes to change into.”

“I know that much.”

When it happens, it feels like leaving for a field trip.

The purpose is different, but should I say that the fear of not knowing what kind of development will unfold while looking forward to leaving somewhere with classmates?

Not much time left until the day.

After a brief OT, I kicked out Elaine who was following me at the same time as the dissolution, and immediately returned to the dormitory and started packing.

Speaking of luggage, I only have clothes to change into.

It was Bella’s policy to take care of food and accommodation within the budget given to each group.

In that respect, it might be fortunate that Reina, who is smart, became the leader.

Hans and Hilda are a bit unreliable, but it’s uneasy for Elaine to do it.

Images are just images, and I hate things like that.

“This is just the beginning.”

Lying on the bed, he looked up at the ceiling and murmured.

It’s already been close to a month since I fell here.

It was a situation where I couldn’t help but cheer that I had fallen into the world of the game,

It was unexpected that it was at a point before the full-fledged story progressed.

Moreover, the person possessed was the villain in the game.

There were unexpected variables, but somehow it succeeded in getting on the main story.

In a situation where the villain named Altane has disappeared, it will be another variable at which point the story will be twisted, but it is important that he got on the story anyway.

“In the first exercise, there is nothing… The real thing starts with the second practice.”

Even in the notebook that roughly summarized the storyline, there were no special words written in the first practice part.

From my memory, only simple rice cakes came out, and I remember it as a tutorial-like part of the entire game.

‘Empstead did.’

Although it’s hard to believe that the town you’re going to is a town that doesn’t appear in the game, since it’s the beginning, there shouldn’t be any difference.

After looking around the story line roughly in the future, I threw myself back into bed.

Tomorrow, I have to return to Mene early to see the status of the children I saved before, and I plan to check the development status of the estate with my own eyes.

After all, there must be a difference between receiving a report only by letter and seeing it with your own eyes.

next day.

I immediately got into the carriage to Mene.

“master!”

As soon as we arrived at Mene, a girl in a familiar maid outfit jumped out.

The identity of the girl who would have been wagging as much as she could if she had a tail was Risha.

After coming here, the first person I met in another world and the only member of the family.

Lisha, who arrived with flowing black hair, whom I hadn’t seen in a very long time, greeted me with a bright smile.

“Long time no see. Lisa.”

Although Risha was a year younger than Elaine, the two of them acted similarly.

Both of them make you think of a puppy, not only in appearance but also in behavior.

If there is a difference, is it that Lisa is more mature?

and smarter

“Lord, Master… ?”

“Ah, sorry.”

Then, without realizing it, I stroked Risha’s hair as if I were treating Elaine.

Strangely, round hair looks good to stroke.

Lisa stuttered as if embarrassed.

“Oh, ok, it’s okay… .”

“By the way, you knew the arrival time well. I didn’t tell you otherwise.”

“Ah, Miss Nadia taught me.”

“Are you Nadia?”

It was the entrance to Mene, which now has buildings, giving it quite a village feel.

I never thought it would look so grand even though there are only a few buildings in it.

Is this why everyone manages the manor?

I feel a strange joy to see the changed appearance.

“Nadia will be at the market right now. Today is the day to distribute the elixir.”

While being guided by Risha, we headed towards the center of the village.

Contrary to how Mene looked on the outside, the changes inside were enormous.

The roads, which had been full of mud and rubble, had been cleaned up, and the crumbling shacks had been replaced with neat brick houses.

And most of all, the faces of most of the residents were lively.

Unlike the past, when everyone was dying, they laughed and got angry, giving a feeling of being alive overall.

It is a great development.

“After everyone took the elixir, they regained their health.”

Looking at the children running around in the middle, Risha said.

“yes. I am watching too.”

The village, which did not even look like a village, now feels like it has regained its meaning.

It is impossible to simply build a building.

It must have been possible because of Nadia’s elixir.

‘I can’t believe that such a good magician wasn’t even reflected in the game.’

In a way, recruiting Nadia was a godsend.

I never thought that I would be able to get something like a talent that didn’t even exist in the game from the beginning.

“Looks like you’re here.”

After passing through the bustling market streets and approaching a street vendor, I could see Nadia handing out elixirs with her bag on.

“Long time no see?”

“It’s been a month since I’ve seen you face to face.”

“yes. Come on.”

Nadia greets her with a smile, and Risha turns round and smiles.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but since it was the first place I’ve seen, I feel like I’ve come home.

In addition, since the town that used to be in ruins has started to come alive, I feel sad for some reason.

“Your face has a lot to say?”

“You’ve changed quite a bit in just one month.”

“come in. There are a lot of things I couldn’t say in the letter.”
