Aoi-chan and Hina-chan discussed with each other whether or not they would become adventurers, and as Alice had predicted, they ultimately decided to become adventurers.

With Luna-san's help, they prepared and submitted the documents to be submitted to the Adventurer's Guild, and completed the several-day basic course without any problems.

I was wondering what they would do regarding their family register, but Lilia-san seemed to have talked to Ryze-san about it, and the two of them soon received their certificates as citizens of Symphonia Kingdom.

I feel like Alice may have already arranged it back then, but at any rate, the preparations were complete and my two kouhais became adventurers.

Then, the day they're getting their first quest, and will be meeting with the escort arranged for them…… the disguised Alice.

Alice said that she would be preparing an appropriate quest for them, so we only made preparations and waited for the escort in front of the mansion.

I don't know if they're interested regarding this matter or not, but Lilia-san, Luna-san and Sieg-san were also here, and Lilia-san seemed to be a little uneasy about the escort that Alice had arranged.

[Even so, you two are going to become adventurers too huh. If you have any questions, please feel free to consult with me. Phantasmal King-sama is going to arrange an escort for you this time, so there shouldn't be any problem, but if need be, you can always ask me and I'll be your companion. Well, there may be some things I've forgotten now……]

[Luna is a former Peak-rank adventurer after all.]

Luna-san was a Peak-ranking adventurer who used to be known as the Black Lily Adventurer, so she naturally has a lot of experience as an adventurer. She seems to know a lot of trivia, so I think it's very reassuring for the two to have someone close by that they can talk to.

While Luna-san and Sieg-san calmly spoke to the two, Lilia-san, looking around with a slightly anxious expression on her face, muttered.

[……The scheduled meeting time is close, but I couldn't see the escort?]

[Ahh, you're right. If they're coming, I think it should be about time we saw them around the gate……]

As I responded to Lilia-san's words, the conversation turned to the said escort.

[However, I wonder who it is? I guess it would be one of the Peak-rank Adventurers huh?]

[Hmmm, I wonder? Indeed, if they're also teaching adventurers, it isn't enough for them to have a high fighting strength, and it wouldn't be surprising that the Phantasmal King-sama can arrange Peak-rank Adventurers……. but if she's going to commission for a Peak-rank Adventurer, couldn't I just escort them myself?]

[……I guess so. There must be some reason why the Phantasmal King is arranging for someone else instead of Luna.]

Sieg-san, Luna-san and Lilia-san exchanged a few words with each other, while Aoi-chan and Hina-chan looked a little nervous.

Well, the companion would be Alice herself, so as for why not Luna-san…… I guess it's a choice that is typical of the helpful Alice.

However, I also don't know what identity Alice was going to disguise into. For someone who would make Lilia-san and the others, who were thinking of leaving the two to Luna-san, consent with Alice's decision, I guess it would have to be someone famous?

[Hmmm, I also haven't heard anything from Alice myself…… I wonder who that is?]
