Standing in front of us was a man and a woman about our age.

　They had hair oiled hair and earrings in their ears, lips, or navel.
　What they were wearing was probably the original uniform of the Fourth Branch of the Adventurer's School.
　In other words, it belonged to the Sow Trading Company.
　However, modifications have been made to the jacket, either by making it excessively short or long, like a coat.

　Even the pants underneath are worn loose and loose, but some of them are worn in a tight fit so as to be absorbed into the skin.

　They stared at me for a long time, moving their mouths in some kind of a mess.

　But do these guys have pain in their faces?
　They stare at me with a strange look on their faces.
　It's so funny that it's hard to hold back a laugh.

"What..... That.........
Yeah, it's too old-fashioned.
My poochie. I didn't know you used to walk around dressed like that.

　Apparently, even the other students look funny in that outfit.
　The fashions that gather in the Sow Trading Country are all cutting edge.
　I wondered if this was the current trend, but it's not.

　The only people enjoying it are the other side.

''What?''
You can't take our clothes off the table.
AAN!
Watch your head, buddy!

　It's daring and awesome.
　What's a 'gun', by the way?
　Is it the name of a weapon from the old days or something?
　I don't remember skipping any of that stuff.

"You guys are on a school trip and you're from Chapter 5, right?

　I asked, the woman who is the red dot in the group.
　This woman's outfit is also strange.
　Her skirt is rather long and she wears a glove on her hand that looks like it was cut off in the middle of her fingers.
　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on it.

　This, too........could this be a fashion statement?

　Although he looked back at the women, he was giving them a painful look.

　Yeah.
　It's really weird, isn't it?

''What?　Branch 5?
"Winning the Kowloon Cup in a row?
What is it, then?　Do you mean these guys have been ticking off the Saw merchants?

　There's another word I don't understand.
　What's 'tickle me'?
　Can't they speak in a way that I can understand, these guys.

Well.....
So, why don't you give me your heart for a moment?

　He enters a combat stance.
　He is full of energy and begins to build up his strength.

　They seem to be eager to fight in the middle of a city like this.

　This was not my student who would remain silent after being taken to this point.

"They're coming.
We're going into battle mode.
Senior Lacelle will have to watch.
I'm not the kind of guy who can bother you.

　Yeah.
　That's exactly right.
　As far as I'm concerned, I'm the smallest of the small fry.
　If this was the case, I'd rather hide in a dungeon and play with a D-ranked monster beast.

"All right. Fine, you go.

I understand.
I'll take care of it.
"These people...

　Essentially, as an instructor, I should probably stop it.
　But it's also part of the community exchange.
　Let's let them fight to the hilt.

Let's go!

　The battle cry of both men echoed through the alleyway, which was crowded with high-rise buildings.

　I sat down on a bench that was in the area.
　I searched the area with my magic while my eyes turned to Chapter 5 vs. Chapter 4.
　There was no sign of witch-like beings in the vicinity.

　As I thought, they won't be aiming directly at me.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what to do.
　In the meantime, they may have overestimated my strength.

　The battle had begun.
　Originally, a fierce fistfight had begun.

　It is forbidden to have unbladed weapons in the Saw Trading State.
　In addition, direct attack magic was also forbidden in this area, which was the center of the royal capital.
　【Warding】 is constantly activated and restricts the actions of the enforcer.

　However, it's just enough of a 【Warding】 that I can quickly disarm it if I'm the only one.

　But if it was a normal student, the only way to fight here was to hit each other.
　The only thing left would be a wooden sword like the one Bornga has.

　I look up at the sky.
　It's still too early for the sun to set.
　I could see the glittering and burning the earth.

'If it's not me, they'll probably go after that (sic) team.

　The team has a secret weapon of my own.
　They'll protect you.

　The problem is ... a lot of things, but I think we'll be okay.

　While watching the students fight, I was lost in thought about the movements of the demons.


　◆◇◆◆◆.


Hey, where did that girl go?

　The girl was dismayed.
　She wasn't the only one.
　The entire five-member team that accompanied her was puzzled.
　They were scratching sweat on their foreheads and were constantly peering around.

''You jumped out of the blue,''
What the hell is she...
I knew he was a bad idea.
It was really.... It was so sudden, wasn't it?

Calm down, first grade...

　is a third class student.
　He wasn't particularly close to Lacelle, but he was a fierce competitor who had endured the Kowloon Cup in his first year and Lacelle's squeezing.

　He was leading a team where all of the students were first-graders except him.

　It seemed strategically unbalanced.
　But he believed that it was Lasell, and he had to have some idea of what he was doing.

　The problem at hand for him was one new student.
　Lacelle had suddenly pushed him into the middle of the day, and he was quite a problem.
　He had a rather poor memory and still couldn't even remember his own name.
　On the contrary, he even forgot what he was doing after just three steps.

　And yet his physical abilities are extremely high.
　I'm not sure if it's even comparable to my classmate Lord One - or perhaps even Lacelle.

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get away with it.

　I'd like to believe Lacelle, but as expected, it's too annoying.
　When I found him, I was going to turn him in front of the person in question.

''Senior........''
Where am I, by the way?

What?

　I look around.
　I noticed that I had come to a pretty deep part of the Sow Trading Capital.
　Unlike the beautiful main street, it was desolate.
　The rotten smell made me frown.

''You're weak. Is there anyone who can activate the [Mapping] magic?''

I can do it! I can do it!

Please.

　At a time like this, the presence of a [Searcher (Seeker)] is helpful.
　I patted my chest in relief and waited for the magic map to be opened.

　It was then.

''You guys belong to Chapter 5, right?''

Huh?

　He turned around.

　Standing there was a man and woman with pale skin.

　Immediately afterwards, I feel a fear in my skin.
　It was as if a blade chilled with ice water had been applied to my spine.

　In a moment, I realized.

"You're witches, aren't you?

　When he said that, the man and woman parted their mouths with a "nii".
