Bear-san Departs For The Practice Training

They all introduced themselves.
Long-hair-kun was Timor.
Short-hair-kun was Marcus.
Blond drill was Cattleya.
Eleanora-san’s daughter was Shia.
After those simple greetings, we headed to the carriage waiting for us outside.
We parted ways with the professor and Eleanora-san here.
This meant that, from the moment we left the classroom, the practice training began.
I was walking behind the group when Shia slowed down to walk next to me.

「Yuna-san, it’s been a while.」

「Yes. We haven’t seen each other since the birthday party, right?」

「My mother told me that you came to the capital a few times. She said something about bringing delicious food every time.」

「I brought those for Princess Flora, but somehow, each time I brought them, Eleanora-san popped out from nowhere, and ate with us, that’s all.」

「My mother’s information network is incredible, after all.」

More than incredible, it was such an impossible riddle that she could become one of the seven wonders of the world.

「I didn’t know that you would be our escort.」

「Eleanora-san told me you would be in the group when I accepted, though.」

「Mother knew, but kept it a secret, huh.」

She puffed her cheeks and pouted, annoyed by the fact.
It was cute when such a beautiful girl did it, huh.
Even if I did the same…… I should stop thinking about this.
After I finished talking with Shia, we exited the academy and went to the backyard.
Why did we come here? Was it possibly the thing that often happened in schools? You know, like being beaten up, threatened or robbed?
I thought that, but I seemed to be wrong.
There was a carriage there. Also, horses.
So, it was a place like that…

「I knew it, we were the last ones!」

Marcus said while looking around.

「The last ones?」

「There are more groups like ours, but they are going to different locations. Marcus is competing with the other boys on who will come back first.」

「It’s just foolish.」

Cattleya seemed annoyed by the boys’ behavior.
I agreed with her.

「What are you guys doing? We should hurry and go!」

Marcus, who was already at the carriage, shouted.
It was a roofed carriage. With this, we won’t get wet even if it rained, huh?
Two horses were harnessed to the carriage. I thought that they would be enough to pull it.
When I was passing the coach to enter the carriage, Marcus called out to me.

「I don’t know why you came with us, but at least don’t drag us down!」

「That’s right. Please don’t drop our score by dragging us down.」

Marcus and Timor said, as if making a fool out of me.
I wanted to go home. If Shia wasn’t here, I would have gone home without a doubt.

「Guys, you are being rude to Yuna-san. She is our escort, so you have to speak to her politely.」

「I can’t be polite to a bear! Also, we aren’t so weak to need protection from a girl younger than us!」

「I can’t believe she is a C rank adventurer. This must be some sort of a test for us.」

「You sure? If it is, does that mean we have to protect this girl?」

「It’s possible.」

「So troublesome. Shia, Cattleya, you should take care of this strange girl. You are all girls, right?」
