Mira and the 36 students, walk the treacherous mountain. The competent butler who took up 90% of the responsibility for some reason, even though they were divided into two groups. And then, the students who, one way or another, have high tension. They, who normally haven’t the chance to climb a mountain or whatnot, were, as the ill-natured Magician said, enjoying this stimulating excursion to its fullest.
“Waa, what a strange flower. How beautifulー, ufufu”
The student, Sasha=Coen, stops before a single flower and tries to touch it. A princess-type cutesy girl who secretly proudly believes herself to be the most beautiful, even though she’s saying, 『How beautifulー』, she is.
“You must not!”
Mira swiftly smacked Sasha’s hand.
“Owww! What are you doing!? You know I, have never even been hit by my parents before!”
The sheltered princess-type cutesy girl who is enraged, thinking, ‘even though I wanted to line up beside a beautiful flower, and have everybody look at the beautiful me more’.
Immediately after, Mira throws a rock on the ground at that flower.
Instantly, it transforms into the face of a ferocious insect and crunches on that rock.
“Hii……”
Sasha who makes a pale expression.
“It is a Demon Insect called Kanarate that mimicked a flower. It will not come attacking you, but please expect to lose an arm if you touch it. By the way, I will not be able to treat you if you do not have your arm”
“……”
Taken aback.
Every single student, was taken aback.
“I have notes that consolidated the dangerous Demon Insects like Kanarate and instant-death type Magic Grass, so I will be handing them out. There will be difficulties even with my Healing Magic for these lot of them, so I recommend not touching them as far as possible”
‘Like we’re ever gonna touch it’, every single one of the students brimming with determination, stares absorbedly, at the notes distributed by her.
In the middle of all that, the dissatisfaction of a student who is not keen on the searching mission in the first place gushes out.
“Aah, why do we have to search for something like a Magic Grass”
Thomas＝List was the one who muttered that. The sole son of a high-class noble, and a pampered noble who has more money than he can ever spend, he is. A wealthy person like him, has no interest in the reward or whatnot that Asch proposed.
“Thomas-sama, I recommend you search for the Pietora Grass like your life depends on it”
“But, you know, what for?”
This pampered noble is an indoor type down to his core. If possible, he wants to enjoy his secret hobby of playing with dolls.
“For the sake of going back”
“Eh?”
Not just the pampered noble, every single student turns to Mira.
“If you do not find the Pietora Grass, you will not be able to return. Forever”
“……haha, there you go joking again. We can’t tell whether it’s a joke or not since Mira-san’s expression doesn’t change, you know”
“It is not a joke”
“So-, something like that is obviously impossible, right. Neither our parents nor the school will allow something like that, right”
“That is the kind of person he is. The person called Asch-sama”
“……”
In the competent butler’s single sentence, every single student feels a terrifying amount of persuasiveness. Receiving those words, everyone desperately, starts executing the search mission.
However, just one person, there was a beautiful young girl who was muttering to herself. Lily＝Schwarz, it is.
“……what the heck. What exactly is going on”
When she woke up, the decision had already been made between the students and she didn’t have the chance to oppose. The pure resistance1 beautiful young girl who wanted to object to the ill-natured Magician variously if it was always.
“Lily-sama, please forgive me”
Sensing such dissatisfaction of such her, the competent butler lowers her head deeply.
“N-, no! Mira-san is not at fault. All the fault lies on that worst teacher”
“……no, it is the fault of me who cannot go against Asch-sama’s order. Since I am a doll”
“Mira-san……”
“Besides, the reason that Asch-sama searches for the Pietra Grass is also, because of me”
“……what do you mean?”
“That individual is trying to give me a full range of human emotions. Because I am unamusing without expression”
“…..no way! That’s just his whim, isn’t it. That fellow is just doing it on his whim”
“But……the same goes for me too. Watching Lily-sama, Cis-sama, and the other students crying, laughing, and getting angry……I ended up thinking as well. Aah, that must be nice. Hence, it is because of me”
The expressionless doll mutters indifferently.
Lily kept quiet for a bit, but before long, she placed her hands on her shoulders and stared fixedly at her with her deep green eyes.
“……Mira-san!”
“Yes”
“Number one. The incident this time around is not your fault”
“But――”
“Number two. I do not know what that worst teacher has said to you, but you are the most amazing woman. Beautiful, competent, and gentle. You, have not the slightest need, to change for the sake of a person like that”
“……”
“Number three. Although……you are an amazing woman even as you are now. If such you feel like changing, I will support you with all my strength. For no one else’s sake but yours”
“Lily-sama……”
“Now then, I’m motivated! I’ll definitely find them”
Pumping herself up as such, Lily started searching for the Pietra Grass with undivided attention.
