[Dana point of view]

"You're in the toilet cleaning club?"

"Wow, that must suck a lot"

"I can't believe she's making me do this! My parents argue with her for over an hour and still..."

"Argue is a strong word. The way I heard it, she was just grading paperwork while your parents complained and complained to no avail."

"Urrghh... Silver lining is I'm not the only one..."

It's the day we did some outdoor curriculum activities. This is a special lesson done by the school. Since most of the students here are nobles or knights in lineage, the school thinks a curriculum where they help around the nation would be the best. Last year, a group of students helped subdue a rampaging behemoth with the help of the guild and knights, of course. I've also heard that there's time that they helped in Salin as well. Of course, the content and nature of this curriculum changes from year to year, and this year it will be

"We are in a group! Hooray! I'm sure Master Merlin must have specially chosen all of us to be in a group" [Princess Siti].

"Why... Why am I in this group too..." [Veronica]

"Don't be nervous, we are happy to have you" [Liya]

"As Liya said, I hope we can all have a great day together" [Saintess Rumia]

"But... You all are..." [Veronica]

"Let me guess, we are all big shot and you feel small? That's what your face says" [Dana]

"You never pull punches, do you?" [Kat]

This year, since Diana has managed to find a dungeon, our job is to help the Ministry map out the dungeon. It's a dangerous job, of course, and since we're all students, we're only allowed to help out on the first few floors. Of course, there are exceptions. My group, for example, is allowed to go deeper, as well as groups with exceptional talents, but they are few and far between. To help us all, the school once again called the Adventure Guild for help, and as usual, they asked one of their former students for help, and since Kat and I have a great chemistry, she will join our group.

"You're Miss Veronica, right? I'm Kat, a former student here at this school, nice to meet you" [Kat].

"So you're Kat! The teachers have nothing but praise for you. I've heard that you're climbing up the ranks quickly, and you're currently a B rank! That's no small feat! I... I...I..." [Veronica]

"Wait, now that I think about it, could it be that this character in your novel is based on..." [Dana]

"KYAAAA! NO! NO! NO! NO! DON'T SAY IT!" [Veronica]

As if possessed, she suddenly gets a hysterical amount of strength just to make sure my mouth is shut with her palm. I never thought she would be able to do that. 

"All right, everyone, gather around. Don't make me waste my energy using teleportation magic just to line you up. It's Saturday, and I could be sleeping in my bed using my youngest student as a pillow, but here I am, graciously and sincerely helping you all out" [Merlin].

"That student she mentioned, it couldn't be..." [Saintess Rumia]

"It's Diana, that's for sure..." [Liya]

"Yes, she loves to hug Diana, especially when she's tired. Sometimes I just feel sorry for Diana, especially when Master Drool... Ouch! Master Merlin!" [Princess Siti]

(This is her infamous Telekinesis Pinch...) [Veronica]

How dare she use my little sister as a pillow or bolster! No one but me is allowed to do that! However, I can understand her desire to do so. Diana's small and fluffy body, the way she smells, her long blonde hair, a little curly at the end, hugging her especially when you are sleeping is nice. I can certainly understand her, but as her sister, I will not allow anyone else to do so.

As we gathered around, the representatives from the ministry told us about today's task. Each of us will be given a special tool designed to map the dungeon. It's not the old school style where we carry around a pen and paper, no. This thing, I have seen it before. That witch Merlin, Siti, Nar, Sas, and even Diana, they're the ones who developed it. If I'm not mistaken, there's another person, someone they called an oddball from the Ministry of Magic, who also helped them, but I couldn't remember his name. 

This device here is capable of tracking all of our movements, so when several of these devices were combined, they helped map out an area of interest. Of course, it also helped if we noted any special things, such as a landmark that can be used or a dangerous place. All we had to do was say

"This is so nice! May I be the one to hold this in place. I will do my best to make a perfect note!" [Veronica]

"Someone eager, but, sure" [Dana]

"I was actually going to ask you to do it. Your attention to detail is good" [Liya]

"I won't let you all down" [Veronica].

Veronica is quickly getting the hang of it. This is an impressive device. For now, it's just called a Magic Mapping Device. Seriously, first Magic Motion Orb and now Magical Mapping Device. Someone has a bad sense of naming...

With that, it's time for us to start dungeon diving
