When I finished transcribing what I had looked up, the area was completely dark.
'Good work, both of you. That's enough for today, let's have dinner.
Yes, sir.
　When she finished replying, Nadia crossed her arms and stretched them upward, while Lydia plopped down on the desk.
　In total, the collection I carried with me exceeded fifty books, and the only books that came up with useful information were the ones that I was vaguely curious about.
　The information I could get was never all in one place, and everything was in small chunks, so it took a lot of time.

'It's a pain in the ass to go to the cafeteria, can we have dinner in this room?
I understand.
　It doesn't matter where you eat, it's the same, so when I suggested that, they both agreed.
I'll put all the books back where they were. I don't want you to make it difficult for me later.
I don't think I'd go that far, as expected, but I understand.
'It's so sad that people hate you unconditionally for something you didn't do.
Yeah. Well, let's just think of this as a librarian's job and do our best. I'll put honey water on my food if I do my best.
Let's get this over with.
I feel better.
　They seemed to enjoy cleaning up, so I started cleaning up too.

　I decided to keep everything that was put together on parchment here for once.
　I didn't want to make the things that the two of us went through to find out what they were, and I didn't want it to be something that someone would complain about.
　Thus, since he hadn't used his head in a while, he decided to make a hearty dinner today.

　He didn't see anyone until he got to his room, and the nighttime corridor, with its eerie footsteps, was a little creepy.
　Fortunately, the lights were on, so I didn't feel any fear.

'Are you two aware of this?'
Yes. There are three of them.
I'm already ready to unleash my magic.
　Immediately after leaving the grimoire, the magic power that should have been nearby wavered and disappeared, but it wasn't able to hide the vital signs.
　As we walked, we continued our conversation.

''It's not like I feel any ill will, so I guess I can basically ignore it. What do you two think?
'It's not a problem. I've only been training for two months and I'm surprised at how much I've gained.
That's not a problem. Maybe it's a surveillance that Mr. Orford has directed us to do.
　There was no part of me that was overawed by the two of them, and I was always ready to deal with them.
'So basically we're just going to ignore them... and don't get to your room again.
　I was about to open the room when I saw the room assigned to me in my vision.

''Oh, um. Could it be Nadia and Lydia from Viscount Buckley's house?
　One woman from the group of three approached me.
　The two behind her also seemed to be women, and they appeared to follow the woman who called out to them.
　All three appeared to be around twenty years old in appearance.

''You are Countess Mainlich, Lady Elinus, it's been a while since we've heard from you.
Lady Elinus, it's been a long time.
　Apparently they knew each other, and he tried to bow reverently, but only bailed.
　As if that didn't bother him, the sideline behind him tried to complain, but Enaris controlled it by raising his hand.
'How did you two get here?'
　They didn't even look at us and only called out to the two of us, but I'm sure this is the behavior of an aristocrat.
　But it was clear that they were too obsessed with the idea of the electorate to be thoughtful.
　From the way she talks, she must be the daughter of a nobleman from Duchy of Brange.
　If you are from Duchy Brange, you would be a nobleman with the power to get an audience with the king, but even an earl might be a head and shoulders above the rest of the family.

''I'm learning a lot under Luciel-sama, who saved us,''
'And since we've already abandoned our country, our status is adventurer. More importantly, this is the first time I've learned how rude Lady Erinus is.
　The two of them definitely seemed to be angry at the woman for ignoring me.

　They didn't expect the two of them to say something like that, and the woman and her company were completely frozen in place.
　She seemed to be a little nervous when she spoke to us, and perhaps she was in a hurry to talk to us when she was in a hurry to get some results in the Mage's Guild and saw the two of us and spoke to us?
　The woman grabbed the arms of the squires so that the two attendants wouldn't go off the rails if they were thinking that far.........
　Then she apologized as if what happened earlier was a lie.
''Please forgive me for my disrespect. I am the second daughter of Ricarus von Meinrich, the second daughter of Ricarus von Meinrich, the lord of the northeastern part of the duchy of Brange, and I am Erinus Meinrich.
　He greeted me with a graceful bow, holding the ends and edges of my skirt.
''........Very polite. My name is Luciel, and I belong to the St. Schurur Cooperative National Church Headquarters.
　This one also introduces himself and then briefly bows out, but when he does so, the other side's face seems to harden.
　And it's all three of us.
''........Are you okay?''
Are you by any chance the first Class S healer in decades, Master Luciel?
Well, yes. I'm 21 now.
　When I tell them that, even the two squires who had been holding my arm earlier got excited and asked me questions.
That healer and dragon slayer, Master Luciel?
　Just the word "that" is enough to make me mentally come to terms with it. Which street name is known in Brange, and I'm anxious but too afraid to ask it.
'Have you come to Nerdal to see someone?
''Well no, I had studied magic for the holy attribute, but I had an aptitude for the other attributes as well, so I had the opportunity to study magic in Nerdal.
　I wish I could say my street name in a smooth manner rather than that.
　But such thoughts did not pass.

''That's right!　Mr. Luciel. Would you like to join us for dinner in this dining room now?
　As if to say it was a good idea, Elinus-san offered to do so.
　But this tension was hard on me........and the others who kept reading the book.
　And it's also possible that this is a trap.
''It's an honor to be invited by the Countess of the Countess. Thank you. But I'm sorry, but I've only just arrived here today, so I have a lot of things to do. Therefore, would you mind if we could have dinner when we are all settled in?
　So I decided to say no this time.
　It was painful to see his happy face slowly sullen, but he had to demonize his heart.
'I understand. I'll be happy to see you again. Nadia, Lydia, we'll talk again another time, slowly.
　Elinus-san said that and left down the corridor.
　But looking at the fact that I can't hear footsteps, they must be using equipment or magic.

''Well, you two, let's go inside to eat.
I was nervous. Ever since he was a nobleman, Lady Elinus was called a genius.
Compared to the evil gods, I wasn't scared at all.
　Maybe it's the pressure that hangs over the genius mage. But I was curious if Lydia was comparing her to the evil god.
I'm not sure I'll be able to find a way to make it work. For that matter, Lydia, why did you compare her to an evil god?
''.......I met him once when the spiritist job manifested, but he laughed at me once and said, 'You can't activate magic unless you ask a spirit to do it,' and I don't really like it.'
Yeah. I get it. I'm sorry to remind you of something I shouldn't have.
　Then I unlocked the room and entered.

　The room was completely dark, but when I turned it on, the light fixture turned on and brightened up.
　I began to prepare the meal, impressed by the fact that there was also a switch that could be dimmed, as if I was back in a previous life.
　Well, all I had to do was serve the food and serve it up....

　As I savored my meal, I told them my plans for tomorrow.
'Let's start tomorrow by organizing the dining room first. After that, we'll practice our magic. In the afternoon, we'll continue with today by going to the magic archives again to scrutinize the information and gather useful information.
...yes.
　When they answered somewhat above, I became concerned and called out to them further.
'Are you feeling bad?　Or do you want to change your schedule?
　But the reason it was above was for a different reason.

'Master Luciel, there is something wrong with this honey water.
This does not qualify as honey water.
　Nadia and Lydia seemed to be complaining about the honey water.
''What do you mean ...?　That's the only honey water I know of?
　Then they started to pull and shake.
　I don't know of any other honey water other than this, so I can't help but be confused.
'Do you know how much this is worth?　What is this deliciousness?
'It feels like it's full of magic. This is definitely not honey water.
　They stopped moving as they looked at the cup that had been filled with empty honey water.
''Do you want a refill?''
Thank you.

　Then I was forced to hear endlessly from both of them about how precious the honey water I had provided was.

　With so many events occurring since their first day in Nerdal, it was depressing to think that they would surely be caught up in more and more of these events tomorrow.
