The dungeon is quiet. Then the sound of Adele’s footsteps on the ground echoes through the dungeon.
Following that, the dry sound of burning trees can be heard, and Adele’s cheeks involuntarily twitch at the sight of the devastation.
(It was a very loud blow.)
Now it has burned down to some extent, and only small fires are visible in places.
The red-hot knight is reduced to charcoal, and Adele has made the huge beast disappear.
So much damage. What would have happened if this had been done above ground as well as in the dungeon?
(That was strong. …… The third prince is good enough for the Astia family for that matter, and when it comes to Charlotte, she easily outshines my siblings on a regular basis.)
The standard is the faces of the knight families, probably because Adele doesn’t yet know what the world is capable of in general.
Still, he knows only that he was “strong”
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Charlotte crumpled on the ground…
“Adele kun!”
—As he was about on his way, he suddenly felt a solid sensation on his chest.
He turned his head to see what was going on and saw a beautiful girl embracing him.
“Ah, that ……, are you okay?! Are you hurt anywhere?!”
Flopping down, Luna dives into his chest and touches Adele’s body.
Of course, Adele has not yet released the spell. Even though she tried to see if there were any external injuries, she couldn’t quite tell by the touch and the black armor on the outside.
But it was crumbling and scorched in places from the battle with Charlotte.
This may have fueled Luna’s worry, and she turned pale whenever she saw such parts.
“I’m fine,”
“But ……”
Seeing Luna’s worried gaze, Adele shrugged his shoulders and released the spell.
“Look, I’m not injured anywhere, right? I’m so fine that I might as well be invited to participate in a competition”
“…………………………… Why?
“Why?”
He’s afraid she wanted him to be injured.
“No, no! That’s not what I meant! Those two were really strong, weren’t they! Charlotte-san was new to me today, but I knew that Julius-oniisama was great. ……”
“Then you also knew I was strong, and you saw that, right?”
Adele gently placed his hand on Luna’s worried head.
And then, on the contrary, he gave a kind smile that reassured her
“If that’s the case, don’t make that face. I’m happy to receive a medal for protecting the princess.”
“!?”
“You did a great job until I got here. Really, good job.”
Even though it was her fault that caused trouble.
The words that came out were “glad” and “good job”, which are far from complaints.
The eyes and expression on his face didn’t seem like he was lying.
There was something that made her feel “I’m glad” from the bottom of my heart…
(ah …… after all)
I love him
Luna had a feverish expression befitting her age.
“Hnn, What’s the matter, Luna? Your face is red. ……”
“Whaa ?I N-Nothing!”
“No, that panicky …… Ah! perhaps, you’re desperately trying to cover up your injuries…”
“Are you trying to seduce the girls again, master?”
“Whoa!?”
A voice comes from behind Adele, who is worried because he doesn’t notice that Luna is just a maiden.
Because of this, Adele showed a pathetic reaction that was the exact opposite of what he had shown earlier.
“Haa……Is this the moment you take your eyes off me? You should realize during the manufacturing process that if you mass produce it, the value will drop.”
“Umm…… what am I supposed to realize?”
Perhaps she is talking about the maiden’s mind thing.
“I mean, why is Elesia here? What happened to the test?”
“I wanted to meet up with master, so I put it off. In fact, I was going to join him a little earlier, but …… there was a similar disturbance here. Well, I suppose I don’t have to tell you the outcome.”
Suddenly, the image of athe senior student in charge of Elesia and the others’ examinations appeared in his mind.
Because of the relationship, it was understandable who she was dealing with nine times out of ten.
“Hime-san!”
On the other hand, Serena, who appeared from behind Elesia, ran up to Luna and held her hand.
“Are you all right?! You’re in shambles, did that scum get you?!”
“Umm, yes…… but I’m fine, okay? Black he—…… Adele-kun saved me…”
“Okay, I understand. I’m going to stab him in the head with a sword right now.”
“I don’t understand anything!?”
The other side seems to be in a lot of trouble as well.
Serena was about to head towards Julius, who was collapsing at the end of several empty walls, but Luna desperately held her back.
“G-Gohon! Let’s put aside what else we have to study—now that there’s no one in our way anymore, let’s clear the exam quickly!”
“Y-Yes, that’s right! You see, Serena, you have to pass the exam too! The setting will be exactly as Julius-oniisama imagined! I mean, cute girls are against murder! ”
“But as the saying goes, an eye for an eye, which is conveniently appropriate for this situation.”
“No, no! He has been beaten! I don’t want Serena to be a criminal!”
“……, I don’t have a choice, do I?”
The four of them each turn to face each other, remembering that they are in the middle of an examination.
Adele took out his watch from his pocket and checked the time and found that …… there was about enough time left.
“Ah…it looks like it’s going to be bad if we don’t hurry. Being included in a lost child notification at this age is definitely a part of dark history.”
“Don’t worry, master. I won’t go all the way to the bottom, but I can find a way down to some extent.”
“Okey, that’s just the way I like it, partner.”
“Fufu, I love your honesty, Master.”
“Muuu”
“Princess, let’s move our feet before we get too competitive. We’re at the bottom of the rankings, so it looks like we’re going to have a hard time at the moment.”
There is a little concern about leaving the examiner behind …… and so on, but there is no excuse or anything for not passing the exam.
Of course, the insurance line would be gone now that Charlotte has been defeated, but there is no sure answer now.
Therefore, Adele and his team immediately ran from the scene.
Then…
“Um, Adele kun?”
Luna, who was running beside Adele, looked into Adele’s face.
And then she gave him a big smile that made him fawn over her, as if he were a child
“Thanks for helping me out!”
A faction war, a regular exam.
A case involving all of them.
All of them have now come to an end.
