Situation in motion
***---***
On the way back from the Investigation Headquarters to Volzard, Basten showed up to report.
[ Kent-sama, there was movement in the royal capital. ]
"The First Prince faction? Or the Second Prince faction?"
[ Both. Under the pretext that the First Prince will gather the personnel first, he's departing for the Dravis Duchy. Knowing this, the Second Prince also took his younger brother, the Third Prince, to the Count Gleisner territory. Also, it seems the First Prince took the Fourth Prince with him. ]
"Even Diethelm? Maybe they found out that he's feeling better?"
[ I don't know about that, but he's heading to Rauf in Dravis Dukedom with the First Prince. ]
The First Prince finally made a decision and headed to prepare his fighting strength.
"How far is it from the royal capital?"
[ I think it will take four days for a knight, and seven days at the earliest if the royal family accompanies them. ]
"Eh, how far is it from there to Lastock?"
[ It will take 8 or 9 days if they are accompanied by the royal family on the road that goes over the Kabasa Pass through the Ujule Highway that does not return to the royal capital, and it will take 12 days if they return to the Taragowa Highway and pass through the royal capital, I think it will take 3 extra days. ]
"Yeah ... if it's taking that long, it won't be in time for the maximum outbreak."
Come to think of it, they rely on horses for transportation in this world, so naturally it takes time if the distance is far.
[ Even if the First Prince and the Second Prince actually arrive, they probably don't think that a horde of monsters will rush across the river. ]
"What about the Second Prince's faction?"
[ The Second Prince headed for the city of Bamata in the Count Gleisner territory, but it is likely that the army will be waiting at Kabasa Pass. ]
"Is there anything in that place called Kabasa Pass?"
[ No, there is nothing special, but it is more advantageous to attack from higher up as much as you can to gain momentum. Kabasa Pass is on the Ujule Highway, but it's not too far from the Taragowa Highway Branch, so the First Prince can maintain his advantage no matter which way they come from. ]
I see, even if they fight, it's useless if they don't think about the terrain.
"How far is it from Lastock to Kabasa Pass?"
[ Yes, it's about a day's ride to Kabasa Pass. ]
"Huh? I think it's a place on the east side of this place, but isn't the Second Prince going to intercept them in front of here?"
[ It's not that there's no such possibility, but since the front of the pass is a breadbasket, if it's a decisive battle in the large area, the one with the most numbers will have the upper hand. If the Second Prince faction, which is inferior in numbers, is going to have an advantage in the battle, it is highly likely that they will choose the pass. ]
That's right, in terms of military power, it's on the First Prince's side, but on financial strength, it's on the Second Prince's side.
"Okay, tell Fred to stop scouting Lastock and head over there and split up to find out what's going on."
[ Confirmed. May I borrow some Kobolds for communication? ]
"Yeah, if you consult with Reinhardt and make sure there are no gaps in the surveillance around Volzard and Lastock, the rest will be flexible and able to be used."
[ As you wish ... ]
I thought that both the First and Second Prince factions might move, but I didn't think that even the Fourth Prince, Diethelm, would be taken along.
Since I've received textbooks and writing utensils, the teachers will probably start teaching, but I don't think I have time to sit down and study.
Well ... I really want to study, but the situation is what it is, so I have to take action ...
Hey, I feel like I'm going to get booed by my classmates if I bring back the textbooks.
Especially Yagi or something, Yagi or something, Yagi or something ...
I returned to Volzard and visited the teachers at the dormitory, handed them the chargers along with the textbooks, and also threw the installation and operation to them.
I also handed letters from the families to my classmates.
I don't have much time to distribute them.
The teachers will immediately distribute the textbooks and prepare to start classes from the day after tomorrow.
No, you don't have to be in such a hurry ...
"Kokubu, you should try to attend classes as much as possible."
"Eh, me too ...?"
"Of course, you're also a student at Hikarigaoka Middle School."
Katou-sensei forced me to take her class.
"But, Sensei, I plan to stay in Volzard and live here, and it seems that things in Resenburg will become a little troublesome ..."
"Even so, if you can take classes, take them. Certainly, in Kokubu's case, Japanese Junior High School classes may not be necessary, but there may be times when knowledge of Japan will be needed in the future. It'll be too late to regret it at that time."
"Haa ... I understand. When I have nothing to do, I will try to participate as much as possible."
To be honest, I can't really imagine that happening, but I've seen adults regret it on TV.(TN:That's mostly just fake ...)
In order to prevent that from happening, it would be better to take the classes you can take.
Textbooks adn other items will be brought into the cafeteria and distributed to those who have finished eating and will receive them when they return to the dormitory.
Some people naturally booed when they heard that classes would resume, but there weren't as many as I had expected.
"Kokubu, why are you bringing textbooks?"
"It's annoying, it's annoying, because I don't have time to listen to Yagi's opinion."
"Idiot, we don't have time to take classes."
"Ah, that's right ... well, that's awkward, isn't it?"
I completely forgot about it because Klaus-san didn't claim it, but I ended the burden of living expenses for the boys who caused the disturbance.
If they were to take classes, it would be almost a full day, and Volzard's work is only from morning to evening.
It seems like there are no part-time jobs that are hired on an hourly basis.
"I understand. I'll pay for your living expenses, so take classes."
"Really? Haa ... Am I finally free from the ramparts construction? It was tough ..."
"I see, Yagi was also going to the ramparts construction."
"Kondo and the old and new duo came to wake me up in turn ... I don't know what it is, but Takayama is extremely enthusiastic ..."
"Ah ... I see, so I guess it's better not to bear the cost of living ..."
"Hey, don't get in the way of my love of learning. I'll take classes."
"Yes, yes, I understand ..."
I thought that the people who went to the ramparts construction with Yagi would be happy to take classes, but it seems that there are many who are hesitant.
"What about Kondo? You're going to class, right?"
"Honestly, I'm not sure what to do. If I can go back to Japan, I definitely need to study, but if I have to stay in Volzard, I feel like I should prioritize my work."
"But Katou-sensei says that if you take it when you can, you won't regret it ..."
"If we could use magic like Kokubu, then I think that's fine, but if we can only use average magic, won't we be left behind by people of our age in Volzard if we study?"
Certainly, people of the same age who originally lived in Volzard have already started working hard, just like Ridner and the others who used to get jostled around at the guild bulletin board every morning.
If you continue to live in Volzard, it's only natural to worry that you'll fall behind those people.
"I'm not going to class, I'm going to work on the ramparts."
"Have you decided not to go back to Japan, Takayama?"
"Ah, I wrote a letter to my family saying that I was going to live here."
"I see ... I'll cover Takayama's living expenses."
"Are you sure?"
"Well, until you get out of this dorm and become independent."
"I'm sorry ... I appreciate it."
Yeah, it feels like Takayama has lost some kind of possession.(TN:As in, he's no longer possessed by something.)
If Camilla calls over Celia's mother, should I plan to bring her to Volzard with Celia?
I have heard that not only Takayama, but also some of the girls want to prioritize work.
Among them was the committee chairman, as well as Sagara-san, who worked at a clothing store.
Most of them seem to be members who participated in the second actual battle, but it seems that there are also some girls who came to Volzard after the rescue operation.
"If I go back to Japan, I will never be able to experience working in another world, and I am quite relied on at the shop."
Personally, I'd like Sagara-san to focus more on teaching Volzard to wear revealing costumes.
Besides, it looks like I'm going to be appointed to S-rank, and it's probably not good to have just one outfit forever, so why don't I go buy some clothes at Flavia-san's shop again?
With the exception of Takayama and some girls, the resumption of classes seems to be taken for granted.
In particular, most of the boys who came to Volzard during the final rescue operation were in favor of resuming classes.
After receiving an explanation that there was no repatriation ceremony, most of the boys went to the ramparts construction and the guild the day after they registered, but it seems that there was a big gap between imagination and reality.
Needless to say, the construction of the ramparts was hard work, and many people retired in less than half a day.
Those who headed to the guild thinking they could do adventurer-like work would not be able to receive subjugation work at F-rank, nor would they have the knowledge to receive medicinal herb harvesting work, and in the first place, after the maximum outbreak, it seems that it came to a state where they couldn't even go out of the city.
The idea that it's okay to not earn money to live on may have dampened their desire to find a job that they can do.
"I don't think it's such a tough job, hey, if it's ramparts construction, it's a hundred times easier compared to Lastock's training."
"I've learned to use magic, but it's not what I imagined ... training, lectures, seriously ..."
"This will make my life in Japan easier, and if I can go home, I can't study, so it's really dangerous."
In fact, it's been more than two months since we were summoned, and we haven't had any classes during that time, so it's quite late.
To be honest, since I came here, I have spent every day in an abundant variety of ways, and I can't remember the contents of the classes from when I was in Japan.
I can't say it's good because it was us, but if the summoned people were third-year students, it would have had a huge negative impact on their exams.
In the end, even those who were against the resumption of classes calmed down by participating in classes every other day and taking supplementary classes in the evenings on days when they worked.
However, it seems that Takayama will give priority to his work and that he will have supplementary lessons every day, so I decided to join him.
"If Kento also took classes, we would be able to spend more time together ..."
If the chairman says something while looking so disappointed, I'll want to take classes every day.
"I'm sorry Yuika, Resenburg is in a lot of trouble right now, and I can't take my eyes off them."
"As for Resenburg ... other than finding out information about summoning and bringing treasure, is that something Kento should be worrying about?"
"Well, that may be true, but I will be living in Volzard forever, and even if you say that the Devil's Forest is in between, if the neighboring country is in trouble, it seems that there may be bad influences ..."
"I see ... this isn't an island country like Japan. It would be a problem if a large number of refugees were to come flooding in."
Well, we're like those refugees right now.
Since it's a good opportunity, I decided to ask the chairman what to do about Camilla.
"Hey Yuika, can we talk for a minute?"
"Yeah, that's fine ... Then, this way ..."
I was led by the hand by the chairman and moved to the corridor between the dormitories, where I was asked for a wooden box and a blanket instead of a chair.
As for me, I can enjoy the warmth, so I welcome the situation where I can be in close contact with the chairman, but I'm a little hesitant to bring up Camilla's story.
We wrapped ourselves in a blanket, and the chairman held my left arm tightly and rested her head on my shoulder.
"So, what did you want to talk about?"
"Yes, I'd like to hear Yuika's opinion on the situation in Resenburg as well."
"My opinion? I think Kento should do what he wants ..."
"Hmm ... I don't know what to say, if I keep negotiating with Resenburg, I'm worried that my thoughts will be leaning towards Resenburg."
"I see, that's why you want my opinion."
"Yeah, for now, I'll talk about what's happening in Resenburg, so could you tell me your frank impressions?"
"Yeah, I understand ..."
She used to be the chairman of the class, and the chairman has excellent grades, so she will give more accurate opinions than I would.
I talked about the current state of desertification in the western part of Resenburg, the current King, the four Princes, and Camilla, and I also talked about my plan to make Diethelm, the Fourth Prince, King.
Of course, Diethelm's pink thinking was left out.
"Wow ... I didn't think the situation was that bad. But is the Fourth Prince okay?"
"Hmm ... there seems to be no problem in terms of physical condition, and I'm not Klaus-san, but I'm thinking of having him move as it's convenient for me ..."
"I feel like it would be quicker for Kento to become king, but if that happens, a lot of girls will come to him, so that's no good."
"Ugh ... I'm not thinking about that, but I don't think I want to do it because being King seems to be troublesome."
"What are you going to do with the First, Second, and Third Princes? Are you going to kill them?"
"Hmm ... I'm worried about that too. If I talk to Klaus-san, he'll probably tell me to get rid of them without mercy, but killing people isn't easy."
I also told her what I had discussed with Klaus-san, and on top of that, I said that I had a feeling of reluctance to murder, and I told her that I didn't feel like taking the plunge.
"I think that's a normal feeling for us. Everyone said that we should kill Camilla and the knights ... But if I were to actually kill them with my own hands, I don't think I would be able to do it."
"In my case, if I ask all my genus to do it for me, it might work, but I have to bear the consequences of killing them, and when I think about it like that, I can't give orders easily."
"Yeah, I think that's fine for Kento ... or should I say, I like Kento like that ..."
"Yuika ..."
The gentle warmth that I feel when I snuggle up to the chairman makes me feel an indescribable sense of security and happiness.
"Kento ... What is Camilla going to do?"
"That's the biggest problem ... Diethelm is younger than us, so it will be difficult for him to succeed the throne right away, and if that happens, I think Camilla will be the one to steer the royal family for the time being ... But I don't think all of our classmates will agree ..."
"Me too, to be honest, I really hate Camilla. I still get angry when I remember those nasty words while looking at us from above. That's why when I heard Kento hit her, I thought he did well."
In the case of the chairman, I guess she has a lot of hatred for Camilla because she had many opportunities to meet face-to-face as a user of healing magic.
"But, she's pledged allegiance to Kento now, hasn't she?"
"Yeah, the bottom line of that is not worrying about herself, but worrying about the lives of the people, and considering the situation Camilla was in, I wonder if it can't be helped that she relied on summoning ... I also think. However, it was absolutely wrong to treat everyone as slaves, and it is unforgivable that Funayama was sent to his death and that his body was used as food for the goblins ... What should she do, how is she going to atone for her sins ..."
"First of all, why don't you take a video of Camilla apologizing and show it to everyone?"
"But, there are many people who won't be satisfied with a mere apology, right?"
"I think so, but apart from whether they agree or not, I think she shoudl start with an apology."
"Yes, that's true ..."
I was only thinking about dispositions that everyone would be satisfied with, but in order to make them satisfied, it is better to apologize first.
"But, if she apologizes poorly, she'll get even more antipathy, right?"
"That's right. Even though it's supposed to be an apology, if you show a video of Camilla saying she's not responsible, there will be a lot of booing."
"Once I shoot the apology video, I'll have Yuika watch it before showing it to everyone. I'm worried if it's just my decision."
"Okay, I'll take that role. Also ... Kento, are you planning to add Camilla to your harem?"
"Huh? N, no ... I didn't think about that at all ..."
"I hate it ... you might think I'm a narrow-minded woman, but if she does that much, and is pardoned without punishment, moreover, she gets Kento's love, I won't allow it."
The chairman's quiet but determined words resounded in my heart.
"Kento is kind, so if someone asks him to help, he will probably want to protect them, but I think it's useless if she doesn't fulfill her responsibility. For Manon, she did a really good job of helping everyone get used to Volzard. Beatrice isn't directly about herself, but she's the daughter of the Lord of the town that accepted everyone. Besides, I know that both of them are seriously thinking about Kento, so I can accept it, but not Camilla, at least not now."
"I'm sorry. I made Yuika say this because I'm faltering. I'm sorry. At least until Yuika is convinced, I promise that I won't mess with Camilla."
"You can't even look into her bath."
"Guu ... I understand ..."
Kuuu ... I was forbidden to update the outrageous video in my brain.
"When you just can't stand it ... that, me ..."
"Huh? Did you say something ...?"
"No, nothing."
After muttering something, the chairman hugged my left arm.
It's too extravagant to ask for Camilla like this.
"Is everyone ... still unfamiliar with life in Volzard? Fewer people were against the resumption of classes."
"Maybe so. I'm fulfilled every day, and some girls seem to fit in, but life in Japan is more convenient and there's plenty of entertainment."
When they heard that we were summoned to another world and could use magic, I think most people were probably in a state of MAX tension, but in a world where magic is the norm, unless you have a very high magical power or a rare attribute, after all, we are normal children.
We don't have the physical strength to do the same work as adults, and of course we don't have any work experience.
Even if they register with the guild, you won't be able to work all of a sudden. Living independently can be difficult.
I felt an animosity towards Kizawa Sumika's group that does nothing but wander around, but if they don't have a talent for magic and don't have to worry about living expenses, that might be normal.
"If I could only use magic at a normal level, maybe I would be the same as everyone else."
"Weren't some people able to become familiar with it like Sagara-san?"
"But I ... I will live in Volzard. I decided. With me ... will you stay with me forever?"
"Yeah ... we'll be together forever ..."
I untied myself from the chairman's arm and hugged her tightly.
I have a lot of things to do and things to ask about, like Camilla's apology video, the trends of the Princes, and the fortification of Lastock, but for now, I'd like to spend a little more time with just the two of us.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

"Yeah, that's fine ... Then, this way ..."
I was led by the hand by the chairman and moved to the corridor between the dormitories, where I was asked for a wooden box and a blanket instead of a chair.
As for me, I can enjoy the warmth, so I welcome the situation where I can be in close contact with the chairman, but I'm a little hesitant to bring up Camilla's story.
We wrapped ourselves in a blanket, and the chairman held my left arm tightly and rested her head on my shoulder.
"So, what did you want to talk about?"
"Yes, I'd like to hear Yuika's opinion on the situation in Resenburg as well."
"My opinion? I think Kento should do what he wants ..."
"Hmm ... I don't know what to say, if I keep negotiating with Resenburg, I'm worried that my thoughts will be leaning towards Resenburg."
"I see, that's why you want my opinion."
"Yeah, for now, I'll talk about what's happening in Resenburg, so could you tell me your frank impressions?"
"Yeah, I understand ..."
She used to be the chairman of the class, and the chairman has excellent grades, so she will give more accurate opinions than I would.
I talked about the current state of desertification in the western part of Resenburg, the current King, the four Princes, and Camilla, and I also talked about my plan to make Diethelm, the Fourth Prince, King.
Of course, Diethelm's pink thinking was left out.
"Wow ... I didn't think the situation was that bad. But is the Fourth Prince okay?"
"Hmm ... there seems to be no problem in terms of physical condition, and I'm not Klaus-san, but I'm thinking of having him move as it's convenient for me ..."
"I feel like it would be quicker for Kento to become king, but if that happens, a lot of girls will come to him, so that's no good."
"Ugh ... I'm not thinking about that, but I don't think I want to do it because being King seems to be troublesome."
"What are you going to do with the First, Second, and Third Princes? Are you going to kill them?"
"Hmm ... I'm worried about that too. If I talk to Klaus-san, he'll probably tell me to get rid of them without mercy, but killing people isn't easy."
I also told her what I had discussed with Klaus-san, and on top of that, I said that I had a feeling of reluctance to murder, and I told her that I didn't feel like taking the plunge.
"I think that's a normal feeling for us. Everyone said that we should kill Camilla and the knights ... But if I were to actually kill them with my own hands, I don't think I would be able to do it."
"In my case, if I ask all my genus to do it for me, it might work, but I have to bear the consequences of killing them, and when I think about it like that, I can't give orders easily."
"Yeah, I think that's fine for Kento ... or should I say, I like Kento like that ..."
"Yuika ..."
The gentle warmth that I feel when I snuggle up to the chairman makes me feel an indescribable sense of security and happiness.
"Kento ... What is Camilla going to do?"
"That's the biggest problem ... Diethelm is younger than us, so it will be difficult for him to succeed the throne right away, and if that happens, I think Camilla will be the one to steer the royal family for the time being ... But I don't think all of our classmates will agree ..."
"Me too, to be honest, I really hate Camilla. I still get angry when I remember those nasty words while looking at us from above. That's why when I heard Kento hit her, I thought he did well."
In the case of the chairman, I guess she has a lot of hatred for Camilla because she had many opportunities to meet face-to-face as a user of healing magic.
"But, she's pledged allegiance to Kento now, hasn't she?"
"Yeah, the bottom line of that is not worrying about herself, but worrying about the lives of the people, and considering the situation Camilla was in, I wonder if it can't be helped that she relied on summoning ... I also think. However, it was absolutely wrong to treat everyone as slaves, and it is unforgivable that Funayama was sent to his death and that his body was used as food for the goblins ... What should she do, how is she going to atone for her sins ..."
"First of all, why don't you take a video of Camilla apologizing and show it to everyone?"
"But, there are many people who won't be satisfied with a mere apology, right?"
"I think so, but apart from whether they agree or not, I think she shoudl start with an apology."
"Yes, that's true ..."
I was only thinking about dispositions that everyone would be satisfied with, but in order to make them satisfied, it is better to apologize first.
"But, if she apologizes poorly, she'll get even more antipathy, right?"
"That's right. Even though it's supposed to be an apology, if you show a video of Camilla saying she's not responsible, there will be a lot of booing."
"Once I shoot the apology video, I'll have Yuika watch it before showing it to everyone. I'm worried if it's just my decision."
"Okay, I'll take that role. Also ... Kento, are you planning to add Camilla to your harem?"
"Huh? N, no ... I didn't think about that at all ..."
"I hate it ... you might think I'm a narrow-minded woman, but if she does that much, and is pardoned without punishment, moreover, she gets Kento's love, I won't allow it."
The chairman's quiet but determined words resounded in my heart.
"Kento is kind, so if someone asks him to help, he will probably want to protect them, but I think it's useless if she doesn't fulfill her responsibility. For Manon, she did a really good job of helping everyone get used to Volzard. Beatrice isn't directly about herself, but she's the daughter of the Lord of the town that accepted everyone. Besides, I know that both of them are seriously thinking about Kento, so I can accept it, but not Camilla, at least not now."
"I'm sorry. I made Yuika say this because I'm faltering. I'm sorry. At least until Yuika is convinced, I promise that I won't mess with Camilla."
"You can't even look into her bath."
"Guu ... I understand ..."
Kuuu ... I was forbidden to update the outrageous video in my brain.
"When you just can't stand it ... that, me ..."
"Huh? Did you say something ...?"
"No, nothing."
After muttering something, the chairman hugged my left arm.
It's too extravagant to ask for Camilla like this.
"Is everyone ... still unfamiliar with life in Volzard? Fewer people were against the resumption of classes."
"Maybe so. I'm fulfilled every day, and some girls seem to fit in, but life in Japan is more convenient and there's plenty of entertainment."
When they heard that we were summoned to another world and could use magic, I think most people were probably in a state of MAX tension, but in a world where magic is the norm, unless you have a very high magical power or a rare attribute, after all, we are normal children.
We don't have the physical strength to do the same work as adults, and of course we don't have any work experience.
Even if they register with the guild, you won't be able to work all of a sudden. Living independently can be difficult.
I felt an animosity towards Kizawa Sumika's group that does nothing but wander around, but if they don't have a talent for magic and don't have to worry about living expenses, that might be normal.
"If I could only use magic at a normal level, maybe I would be the same as everyone else."
"Weren't some people able to become familiar with it like Sagara-san?"
"But I ... I will live in Volzard. I decided. With me ... will you stay with me forever?"
"Yeah ... we'll be together forever ..."
I untied myself from the chairman's arm and hugged her tightly.
I have a lot of things to do and things to ask about, like Camilla's apology video, the trends of the Princes, and the fortification of Lastock, but for now, I'd like to spend a little more time with just the two of us.
Situation in motion***---***On the way back from the Investigation Headquarters to Volzard, Basten showed up to report. Kent-sama, there was movement in the royal capital. "The First Prince faction? Or the Second Prince faction?" Both. Under the pretext that the First Prince will gather the personnel first, he's departing for the Dravis Duchy. Knowing this, the Second Prince also took his younger brother, the Third Prince, to the Count Gleisner territory. Also, it seems the First Prince took the Fourth Prince with him. "Even Diethelm? Maybe they found out that he's feeling better?" I don't know about that, but he's heading to Rauf in Dravis Dukedom with the First Prince. The First Prince finally made a decision and headed to prepare his fighting strength."How far is it from the royal capital?" I think it will take four days for a knight, and seven days at the earliest if the royal family accompanies them. "Eh, how far is it from there to Lastock?" It will take 8 or 9 days if they are accompanied by the royal family on the road that goes over the Kabasa Pass through the Ujule Highway that does not return to the royal capital, and it will take 12 days if they return to the Taragowa Highway and pass through the royal capital, I think it will take 3 extra days. "Yeah ... if it's taking that long, it won't be in time for the maximum outbreak."Come to think of it, they rely on horses for transportation in this world, so naturally it takes time if the distance is far. Even if the First Prince and the Second Prince actually arrive, they probably don't think that a horde of monsters will rush across the river. "What about the Second Prince's faction?" The Second Prince headed for the city of Bamata in the Count Gleisner territory, but it is likely that the army will be waiting at Kabasa Pass. "Is there anything in that place called Kabasa Pass?" No, there is nothing special, but it is more advantageous to attack from higher up as much as you can to gain momentum. Kabasa Pass is on the Ujule Highway, but it's not too far from the Taragowa Highway Branch, so the First Prince can maintain his advantage no matter which way they come from. I see, even if they fight, it's useless if they don't think about the terrain."How far is it from Lastock to Kabasa Pass?" Yes, it's about a day's ride to Kabasa Pass. "Huh? I think it's a place on the east side of this place, but isn't the Second Prince going to intercept them in front of here?" It's not that there's no such possibility, but since the front of the pass is a breadbasket, if it's a decisive battle in the large area, the one with the most numbers will have the upper hand. If the Second Prince faction, which is inferior in numbers, is going to have an advantage in the battle, it is highly likely that they will choose the pass. That's right, in terms of military power, it's on the First Prince's side, but on financial strength, it's on the Second Prince's side."Okay, tell Fred to stop scouting Lastock and head over there and split up to find out what's going on." Confirmed. May I borrow some Kobolds for communication? "Yeah, if you consult with Reinhardt and make sure there are no gaps in the surveillance around Volzard and Lastock, the rest will be flexible and able to be used." As you wish ... I thought that both the First and Second Prince factions might move, but I didn't think that even the Fourth Prince, Diethelm, would be taken along.Since I've received textbooks and writing utensils, the teachers will probably start teaching, but I don't think I have time to sit down and study.Well ... I really want to study, but the situation is what it is, so I have to take action ...Hey, I feel like I'm going to get booed by my classmates if I bring back the textbooks.Especially Yagi or something, Yagi or something, Yagi or something ...I returned to Volzard and visited the teachers at the dormitory, handed them the chargers along with the textbooks, and also threw the installation and operation to them.I also handed letters from the families to my classmates.I don't have much time to distribute them.The teachers will immediately distribute the textbooks and prepare to start classes from the day after tomorrow.No, you don't have to be in such a hurry ..."Kokubu, you should try to attend classes as much as possible.""Eh, me too ...?""Of course, you're also a student at Hikarigaoka Middle School."Katou-sensei forced me to take her class."But, Sensei, I plan to stay in Volzard and live here, and it seems that things in Resenburg will become a little troublesome ...""Even so, if you can take classes, take them. Certainly, in Kokubu's case, Japanese Junior High School classes may not be necessary, but there may be times when knowledge of Japan will be needed in the future. It'll be too late to regret it at that time.""Haa ... I understand. When I have nothing to do, I will try to participate as much as possible."To be honest, I can't really imagine that happening, but I've seen adults regret it on TV.TN:That's mostly just fake ...In order to prevent that from happening, it would be better to take the classes you can take.Textbooks adn other items will be brought into the cafeteria and distributed to those who have finished eating and will receive them when they return to the dormitory.Some people naturally booed when they heard that classes would resume, but there weren't as many as I had expected."Kokubu, why are you bringing textbooks?""It's annoying, it's annoying, because I don't have time to listen to Yagi's opinion.""Idiot, we don't have time to take classes.""Ah, that's right ... well, that's awkward, isn't it?"I completely forgot about it because Klaus-san didn't claim it, but I ended the burden of living expenses for the boys who caused the disturbance.If they were to take classes, it would be almost a full day, and Volzard's work is only from morning to evening.It seems like there are no part-time jobs that are hired on an hourly basis."I understand. I'll pay for your living expenses, so take classes.""Really? Haa ... Am I finally free from the ramparts construction? It was tough ...""I see, Yagi was also going to the ramparts construction.""Kondo and the old and new duo came to wake me up in turn ... I don't know what it is, but Takayama is extremely enthusiastic ...""Ah ... I see, so I guess it's better not to bear the cost of living ...""Hey, don't get in the way of my love of learning. I'll take classes.""Yes, yes, I understand ..."I thought that the people who went to the ramparts construction with Yagi would be happy to take classes, but it seems that there are many who are hesitant."What about Kondo? You're going to class, right?""Honestly, I'm not sure what to do. If I can go back to Japan, I definitely need to study, but if I have to stay in Volzard, I feel like I should prioritize my work.""But Katou-sensei says that if you take it when you can, you won't regret it ...""If we could use magic like Kokubu, then I think that's fine, but if we can only use average magic, won't we be left behind by people of our age in Volzard if we study?"Certainly, people of the same age who originally lived in Volzard have already started working hard, just like Ridner and the others who used to get jostled around at the guild bulletin board every morning.If you continue to live in Volzard, it's only natural to worry that you'll fall behind those people."I'm not going to class, I'm going to work on the ramparts.""Have you decided not to go back to Japan, Takayama?""Ah, I wrote a letter to my family saying that I was going to live here.""I see ... I'll cover Takayama's living expenses.""Are you sure?""Well, until you get out of this dorm and become independent.""I'm sorry ... I appreciate it."Yeah, it feels like Takayama has lost some kind of possession.TN:As in, he's no longer possessed by something.If Camilla calls over Celia's mother, should I plan to bring her to Volzard with Celia?I have heard that not only Takayama, but also some of the girls want to prioritize work.Among them was the committee chairman, as well as Sagara-san, who worked at a clothing store.Most of them seem to be members who participated in the second actual battle, but it seems that there are also some girls who came to Volzard after the rescue operation."If I go back to Japan, I will never be able to experience working in another world, and I am quite relied on at the shop."Personally, I'd like Sagara-san to focus more on teaching Volzard to wear revealing costumes.Besides, it looks like I'm going to be appointed to S-rank, and it's probably not good to have just one outfit forever, so why don't I go buy some clothes at Flavia-san's shop again?With the exception of Takayama and some girls, the resumption of classes seems to be taken for granted.In particular, most of the boys who came to Volzard during the final rescue operation were in favor of resuming classes.After receiving an explanation that there was no repatriation ceremony, most of the boys went to the ramparts construction and the guild the day after they registered, but it seems that there was a big gap between imagination and reality.Needless to say, the construction of the ramparts was hard work, and many people retired in less than half a day.Those who headed to the guild thinking they could do adventurer-like work would not be able to receive subjugation work at F-rank, nor would they have the knowledge to receive medicinal herb harvesting work, and in the first place, after the maximum outbreak, it seems that it came to a state where they couldn't even go out of the city.The idea that it's okay to not earn money to live on may have dampened their desire to find a job that they can do."I don't think it's such a tough job, hey, if it's ramparts construction, it's a hundred times easier compared to Lastock's training.""I've learned to use magic, but it's not what I imagined ... training, lectures, seriously ...""This will make my life in Japan easier, and if I can go home, I can't study, so it's really dangerous."In fact, it's been more than two months since we were summoned, and we haven't had any classes during that time, so it's quite late.To be honest, since I came here, I have spent every day in an abundant variety of ways, and I can't remember the contents of the classes from when I was in Japan.I can't say it's good because it was us, but if the summoned people were third-year students, it would have had a huge negative impact on their exams.In the end, even those who were against the resumption of classes calmed down by participating in classes every other day and taking supplementary classes in the evenings on days when they worked.However, it seems that Takayama will give priority to his work and that he will have supplementary lessons every day, so I decided to join him."If Kento also took classes, we would be able to spend more time together ..."If the chairman says something while looking so disappointed, I'll want to take classes every day."I'm sorry Yuika, Resenburg is in a lot of trouble right now, and I can't take my eyes off them.""As for Resenburg ... other than finding out information about summoning and bringing treasure, is that something Kento should be worrying about?""Well, that may be true, but I will be living in Volzard forever, and even if you say that the Devil's Forest is in between, if the neighboring country is in trouble, it seems that there may be bad influences ...""I see ... this isn't an island country like Japan. It would be a problem if a large number of refugees were to come flooding in."Well, we're like those refugees right now.Since it's a good opportunity, I decided to ask the chairman what to do about Camilla."Hey Yuika, can we talk for a minute?""Yeah, that's fine ... Then, this way ..."I was led by the hand by the chairman and moved to the corridor between the dormitories, where I was asked for a wooden box and a blanket instead of a chair.As for me, I can enjoy the warmth, so I welcome the situation where I can be in close contact with the chairman, but I'm a little hesitant to bring up Camilla's story.We wrapped ourselves in a blanket, and the chairman held my left arm tightly and rested her head on my shoulder."So, what did you want to talk about?""Yes, I'd like to hear Yuika's opinion on the situation in Resenburg as well.""My opinion? I think Kento should do what he wants ...""Hmm ... I don't know what to say, if I keep negotiating with Resenburg, I'm worried that my thoughts will be leaning towards Resenburg.""I see, that's why you want my opinion.""Yeah, for now, I'll talk about what's happening in Resenburg, so could you tell me your frank impressions?""Yeah, I understand ..."She used to be the chairman of the class, and the chairman has excellent grades, so she will give more accurate opinions than I would.I talked about the current state of desertification in the western part of Resenburg, the current King, the four Princes, and Camilla, and I also talked about my plan to make Diethelm, the Fourth Prince, King.Of course, Diethelm's pink thinking was left out."Wow ... I didn't think the situation was that bad. But is the Fourth Prince okay?""Hmm ... there seems to be no problem in terms of physical condition, and I'm not Klaus-san, but I'm thinking of having him move as it's convenient for me ...""I feel like it would be quicker for Kento to become king, but if that happens, a lot of girls will come to him, so that's no good.""Ugh ... I'm not thinking about that, but I don't think I want to do it because being King seems to be troublesome.""What are you going to do with the First, Second, and Third Princes? Are you going to kill them?""Hmm ... I'm worried about that too.
