When the school is closed, I have to work.
Sophia’s house is an ordinary house that can be found anywhere.
It is not that she is extremely poor, but simply because it is safer for a commoner to work at a certain age when she is in trouble.
Besides, she is allowed to attend the school without helping her family.
Even though she was allowed to enter the academy because she had a few special powers, she longed for a place to learn. Since she is allowed to do what she loves, she has to work hard for her precious family.
That is why Sophia always works on her days off.
She fulfills the requests that come in to the school and gets paid by the client through the school.
Normally, she accepts the requests together with the son of the head of the Royal Knights, whom she befriended in her first year, but unfortunately, he was not with her today due to an unforeseen matter.
There are others who recently approached her, but they are all too afraid to go with her.
So, it was a rare occasion.
With other people of the same year, whom she met for the first time, she took a survey of a cave that would become a new mining site.
As long as she was a student, the request was basically at a level that even a student would have no problem with.
Sophia, too, has received many requests since she was a first-year student, and she has done her best to fulfill them.
Today is no different. She just accepted the request that was introduced at the school.
She just accepted it, but…
“Y-You’ve got to be kidding me!”
“This is not what I heard!”
Sophia rushes out of the cave with the other men.
However, before she had time to feel relief, a large number of demons were chasing after her from …… behind.
(W-we have to run away ……!)
But where?
Even if you try to intercept them, it is hard to believe that a mere student can win against a swarm of demons that could fill the shadows of the cave.
Why such a large number of demons when it was supposed to be just a request for investigation?
Besides, I can only heal someone in the first place…
“Y-You’re the bait!”
Boom! Sophia’s body was suddenly pushed and she involuntarily fell onto her butt.
“…Eh?”
“If you’re a commoner who can’t even fight properly, you can at least buy some time!”
……I knew this.
The academy is full of aristocratic people with money to spare, and there is certainly a sense of discrimination against them as commoner aristocrats.
For instance, the school’s staff members are very interested in the students who have been invited directly by the school.
Naturally, she knew she would not be looked upon favorably.
But she didn’t expect to be forced to take the bait…
(I’m not sitting here!)
Sophia got up and started running in a different direction from the fleeing aristocrat without brushing the dirt from her golden hair.
She was heading in a different direction. This was probably Sophia’s kindness moving her body on its own.
The will to still protect them even though she had been forced to take the bait on her own.
However, it was Sophia who ran away late, and her physical ability was no different from that of any other girl anywhere.
Who is more likely to be catched up, the other students who ran away or Sophia?
That’s obvious– the eyes of all the demons that are chasing are on Sophia’s back.
“R-Run…….”
She was about to say that, when her thoughts suddenly stopped.
Where would she go if she ran away?
Even if she asked someone for help, who would be able to fight against this amount of monsters?
(I can’t involve ordinary people. ……)
The truth is, make some money, send it home, and then have another fun school day tomorrow, even if it’s still a little uncomfortable.
It should have been an ordinary day, an ordinary vacation.
But I can’t choose to involve someone else!
(Then I’ll……!)
Tears well up in Sophia’s eyes.
I’m ready. I really don’t want to do it, but I have to …… do it.
I would rather attract demons and go to a place where no one will be involved than get someone else involved.
“A little further away ……!”
Sophia ran through the bushes in a single breath…
“Haa, ……, it’s my house up ahead, and my sister will be in danger if I miss this. ……”
–Then
A horse-drawn carriage passes through an unimproved area, and a boy emerges from it.
Then, something like a large pipe was thrust into the crowd of demons that were approaching.
“…. eh?”
Sophia stopped in her tracks and was stunned.
Why was there a horse-drawn carriage passing in such a place? Why was there a boy here?
Why are there pipes and swords floating around him?
“Y-Young master, what am I supposed to do now, ……?”
he said fearfully to the boy.
“Wait for me at the end of this forest. If you go home, you’ll be treated like a tardy delinquent from your first day at school.”
“R-Roger!! please be back soon!”
The coach starts out on an unmaintained road with only the coach
At this place, the demon …… whose head was crushed by the pipe and the sound of footsteps still rushing in.
The boy, perhaps unaware of Sophia’s presence, took a case containing a large quantity of nails from his pocket and turned his shoulder.
“Well, I didn’t expect there to be so many of them, but …… I don’t have to worry about my surroundings today, and if it’s just one of them, I can manage …… eh?”
But while the boy was muttering to himself.
Finally, he noticed Sophia standing a little out of sight, and he froze involuntarily.
And then…
“W-Why is the main character standing here ……?”
The boy looked terribly surprised.
