At the same time that Deris was teaching Therese the basics of Staff Arts, Nell was leading the three girls to the underground training ground of Duke Ortho’s mansion, which was built for the sake of his beloved daughter. The training ground is about the size of a basketball court and has a high ceiling. Normally, there would be a lot of equipment in this place, but Nell seemed to have ordered the servants to remove the equipment in advance because it was in the way.

「Hmm. The size of the room is about right, I guess. Since Deris put a barrier carefully, I’m sure it’ll be fine to do it a bit recklessly. Probably.」

Deris repeatedly asked her to not do it recklessly. However, reality can be cruel.

「Shish…. err, Adventurer-san. What kind of training are we going to do here?」

「Yeah, that’s right! I’ve been wondering the same thing! Since you were so confident, you’re going to do something astounding, aren’t you!?」

「Ahaha, Touko-chan, calm down.」

Nell raised her glasses meaningfully and then smiled meaningfully. The moment she saw that smile, Chinatsu felt a chill running down her spine. Having become a disciple of Nell, Chinatsu has become the second most understanding person after Deris. She knew that when her master, the beautiful adventurer lady with glasses, smiled like this, nothing good would happen.

「Well, it’s very simple. Today’s training is direct instruction! I will fight you directly and show you where you need to improve each time. Of course, it will be in the form of a mock battle!」

「Oof, I knew it…」

There seems to be no dissatisfaction with the fact that she is instructed in the actual battle against her master. However, Chinatsu knew. This instruction is close to the actual battle to the death and the battle is adjusted by Nell’s opinion, intuition, and mood. A painful counterattack will be added to check whether it can be avoided at the last moment. If you are not careful even a little, getting a serious injury is inevitable. If that happens, you will be given a simple treatment and bandage, and she will leave the rest to you to manage somehow. Chinatsu has only experienced this once, but that time she used up all her strength and was prepared to die.

「Hee, a mock battle against us, huh? You sure are confident. Should we do it one by one?」

「We don’t have time to do it leisurely at this hour. Come to me together. Do it with your maximum output, maximum firepower, and the best movement you can do now. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow, you know?」

「…… Fine!」

「We will be in your care!」

「P-Please go easy on us…」

The mock battle is about to begin, one person took on Nell’s provocation, one in the usual condition, and one is somewhat a bit scared. The three are in full combat gear and Nell, who is dressed casually, only holding the sword with the scabbard on. Touko is using her spare because one of her foot protectors was damaged, but her equipment is roughly the same as when she was in the ruins.

「I’m sorry for saying this when you are all smug, but we’ve known each other quite long. We can work together from the beginning, you know?」

「What are you talking about? I’m telling you to do your best while cooperating. Otherwise, you’ll be too sore to teach.」

「………」

「Touko, calm down!」

Chinatsu desperately restrains Touko, who was about to go immediately. Losing composure means death. Anyway, she has to share this fact with the others. With Nell’s permission, Chinatsu decided to gather everyone together for some strategy time.

「――You mean, this is almost the same as an actual battle?」

「Yes. I’ve known her for a while and I’ve fought with her before… It’s better to think that she’s on the same level as Deris-san. Carelessness and holding back are unnecessary. I think it’s best to give it your all from the start.」

「I agree with Chinatsu-chan’s opinion. At the moment when the mock battle begins, I will scatter poison with dark magic, so Chinatsu-chan will do the support with light magic, and Touko will immediately activate Berserk――」

The time is about three minutes. The three devise a plan in this short time while remembering the meeting in club activities. The key to this battle will be how much teamwork the three of them can demonstrate. Nell was observing the three while elegantly sipping the tea, which she received from Gobuo.

「――Well, it’s time. Are you ready?」

「We are ready!」

「I see. Then, I’ll leave the start signal to Gobuo.」

Nell handed the empty teacup back to Gobuo and instructed him to give the signal. Gobuo agreed while saying gobugobu.

「Gobbu! Gobugoobu, gobu.」

「… Hey, Haruna. What is that goblin talking about? He has been like that since he was told by that Nee-san.」

「It’s a rule confirmation such as don’t aim at vital parts. Gobuo-kun is quite diligent, and it seems that Shishō told him carefully.」

「No, even if you say it, I don’t understand goblin language…」

The translator (Haru) explained Gobuo’s rules on his behalf. Don’t destroy the training ground, he emphasized it three times. It seems that it’s a message from Deris, but Nell paid no attention to it.

「Goobu.」
