Yu, be honest, lying is not good for you.”

“Oh, what’s with ambush, can I put my bag down first?”

It’s Wednesday, one night after the apocalyptic war that seemed to go on forever, and somehow I ended up getting involved.

There are only four days left before the tournament, and as soon as I walked into the classroom, Taku, who had arrived at school earlier than me, caught me.

“Hmm, I’ll let you off with that, but I’m going to hear you out right now, and I’m not going to let you get away with it in homeroom like before!

“Why are you so uptight, man?”

I go through Taku, who is unnecessarily overbearing, and take a seat. Let’s see, well first thing’s first.

“Don’t bother trying to ignore me. It’s pretty important, so turn around.”

“Ew, that’s so annoying……”

I’m aware that it was deliberate, so I’ll turn my head reluctantly.

“Yu, what you said the other day is true, right?”

“About not showing you my homework?”

“I’ve done that crap already, I’m not talking about that, I’m talking about Boparu having a class change.”

“Ah, so its about that. Boparu, Mizuki, and Aigis all have class changes, I changed classes just yesterday……”

“Seriously, you’ve got four class changes in your party alone, so with me and Tsubasa you’ve got six.”

“I didn’t know Taku and the others changed classes.”

“well, I guess. Better yet Yu, come with me to fight the area boss today.”

“Huh!? Have you finally lost your mind? I don’t think I can beat an area boss with that kind of crazy strength. I already had a scare once, and by the time I realized it, I was almost done in!”

“Oh, you went to the forest? It’s pretty devilish there…well, there’s a strategy to the area boss battle. Well, it’s more like a strategy…the area bosses get weaker the more class-changed players in the party. You know that if there’s not one class-changed player in the party, the party won’t be strong enough to win, right?”

“Oh, for sure.”

Even when Boparu changed classes, it was so fast, strong and hard.

“And if Yuu levels up right away, you will be able to reduce the amount of the death penalty.”

“…what is the death penalty?”

“The death penalty is half the gold in your possession and you some experience. The amount of experience you lose is equal to all the experience you’ve gained since you last leveled up, so there’s less of an experience loss right after you level up.”

“Hohe, but you’re gonna lose half your money?”

“Why don’t you just leave your money with someone you trust?”

“…was there a way to give money?”

“Why don’t you just buy it with all the money you have, even if it’s just some rocks you picked up there?”

“I see”

I’m sure the quality of the stone will be terrible because you’re buying it at an inappropriate price, I don’t care if it’s just a rock…But I don’t want to pay all my money for a rock…

“Well, that’s why you’re coming with me after school today, right? Our goal is to take down the Stone Golem!”

“Yeah yeah”

He said he’d talk to Taku about it, so we decided to meet in front of the fountain in town, and I logged in as soon as I got back.

“Ah? Welcome back”

“””~~!”””

When I logged in, Spirit-chan and the faeries were bathing and cooling off.

The sky is already about to turn red, so if you do it too much, you’ll catch a cold. I wonder if it’s okay because it’s a game?

“I am back…is that right? I’m sorry, Spirit-chan, but I can’t get a ride back to the city of beginnings now? I’m meeting a friend.”

“Hmmm, so…you’re leaving now, I’m going to miss you.”

“””~~~”””

“What, I’ll come back and we’ll play again..but I don’t like that end-of-century magic war”

I said that to Spirit-chan with a wry smile which she returned with a smile that heals everyone. Yup. After all, she is really cute.

“Yes…I have a feeling I’ll be seeing you again!

“””~~~!!”””

Oh, I think I just heard a flag get raised.

“Now, it is time for you to return to where you come from. Stand at the edge of the spring and look to the bottom.”

“The bottom? Wonder how deep it goes.”

I stood at the very edge of the spring and stretched my neck to look into the bottom of the spring, where the water was clear and beautiful, but I couldn’t see the bottom.

“Deep! Much deeper than I expected. I can’t see the bottom of this thing…”

“Ei” [Cute sound anime girls make when putting in effort]

“What?”

When Spirit-chan pushes my back, I tried to look back and complain to Spirit-chan while I had started to fall forward into the fountain. Unable to fly or jump, I fall helplessly into the fountain…

The last thing I saw was a smile on the face of the Spirit-chan, and I thought to myself, “That’s just like a mischievous faerie master”.

“Ah, I’m drowning!!”

“Whoa, Yu, where did you come from?”

“Sister!?”

I stood up with water dripping from my head, I was in a fountain in the city of beginnings. The water’s only knee-deep, but really, where did the water on my head come from?

“Damn, you scared the hell out of me”

“No, that’s my line, sister…”

I guess so.

When you get out of the fountain and shake your body with a pull, the water flies away and your clothes get drier and drier. Yeah, that’s convenient.

“I’ve got a lot of questions, a lot of questions…let’s just go to Ria’s. We stand out here, and I want to deposit money”

“”Yes””

There is no particular reason to refuse Taku’s proposal, so I replied honestly and the three of us walk around town with Sylph and Taku. Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve walked with this group since day one, and my head starts to hurt thinking about all the questions Taku is going to ask me. Let’s run away.
