Chapter 66
And so a 9-man expedition was organized. With five heroes, us three kids, and Tricia the female doctor.
But that didnt mean wed be leaving the same day.
Maria and them aside, we kids still have class and cant just take off.
Since it was meant to cure my body, Id have loved to head out immediately but
Now, is there anyone who knows what this word means?
Me!
Meee!
Teacher, pick me!
Cortina clacked on the chalkboard where shed written a word and asked the students to answer what it was.
She had written Apple there in this case.
Even if theyre elites, these are still children under the age of 10 after all.
They need to be taught the basics of how to read and write. Of course, the ones whove had an elite education since their early years will already know how to read, but not everyone does, so these kinds of classes have to be included in the curricula.

And so, my homeroom teacher Cortina was teaching the common continental language, but that was so tedious since Id already learned it.
Despite that
Alright then, Nicole.
Aww, again?
Youre top of the class, so why dont you show us how its done?
Cortina kept calling on me for every little thing.
Thanks to my grades, I seem to be misunderstood throughout the school as an excellent new student with a frail body.
Well, theyre not wrong about the frail body but come on
I stood up from my seat, hurried to answer and sat back down quickly.
Moreover, if I try putting on spats underneath, Cortina gets upset about it.
Resistance is futile as she argued with, Trying to erect another barrier under the absolute territory is absolutely not allowed.
Why are you so happy about seeing little girls panties, you *******.
And so, with the expedition being scheduled for the weekend, I experienced three days of fainting in P.E. and managed to survive.
Once the weekend rolled around, we gathered at Maxwells house.
Maxwell is also able to freely use transfer magic, so he only has his gear, some water, and light provisions that hes carrying.
If we need somewhere to stay, we can just return to the city whenever.
He might be close to senile but his magic skill is still cheat-level.
Well, are we all here?
Eh, were just waiting on Maria and them to get here.
Cortinas expression soured while saying that.
Its been decided that Gadius would join for this expedition.
Its not like she personally hates him, they fought off death for countless years before, so theres no way they hate each other.
Are you ok?
Hrm? Sort of, its not like I hate him.
I put my hand on her back when I asked and she forced a smile at me with her reply.
Just then, a light from the transfer magic appeared and three peoples silhouettes appeared in it.
Needless to say, it was Lyell and Maria, and Gadius.
Maria ran to hug me as soon as she saw me.
Lyell, who was late to the party, was complaining helplessly behind her.
Are you doing ok, Nicole?
Mama, we just saw each other last night.
After learning Teleport, Maria has been coming back and forth from the village to see me every night.
Even though Interference Magic is supposed to be exhausting on your magic reserves, shes fine even with carrying Lyell around with her, as expected, this much is nothing to her.
In contrast to our happy little family, the air around Gadius and Cortina was tense.
Ah, umm.. Have you been well?
Eh, yeah. You look well too.
Death reminds everyone of me, sensing that, Gadius starts mumbling uncharacteristically.
An obstinate dwarfkin who is as caring as this guy is a rare sight to be seen.
Looking at Gadius, Cortina takes in a deep breath.
Its fine. You dont have to apologize for my sake. I was the one being emotional back then, Im sorry.
No, its fine. Its also my fault that you were expecting an easy investigation.
It was just a request to investigate after all, it was our fault for packing light and not being prepared.
Then lets agree that we both failed to consider the possibility.
Gadius stretches out his right hand while making a wry face with deep wrinkles.
For a dwarf, hes a bit out there, but hes not a petty guy by any means.
In fact, hes quite sensible and is often misunderstood for it, but hes a reliable guy.
Oh well. About Reid Its not like I cant forget about him anymore, but I cant leave behind my feelings.
Hmph. Seems like the new generations already here.
As he said that, Gadius looked my way.
The second generation of heroes. In other words, they want me to be their successor As the person in question I should take advantage of this.
