88 CHAPTER VI COMPLETION OF EXAMINATIONS (2/2)

I didn't get to invite them when I left because I was left behind: .......

Well, I guess I'll start tomorrow.

So, what are we going to do now to pass the time? .......

”What else does Belle want to do?

'What? Me? Um, ...... especially .......

Yeah...... what to do.......

What shall we do: ”Let's go for a walk ......?

'What? Is it safe for me to go outside?

What do you think: ......?

They didn't say no, so it's okay, right?

Well, as long as I'm home in time for dinner, I'll be fine. So why don't you get dressed and let's go outside, Belle?

'Oh, right, ......, do I get to change too?'

'Yes, it's conspicuous to walk outside in a maid's uniform, isn't it?

If a child walks around with a maid, you'll stand out .

'I don't think so ...... and do I need to be out there too? I'm staying behind and doing some housework to pass the time, okay?

What are you talking about at all: .......

”I want to take a walk with Belle. . so why not?

'Okay. ...... Give me a few minutes.'

Yeah.

All right, I'm gonna get changed.

And then a little later.

Master Leo, I'm done getting dressed.

Oh, pretty!

Your usual maid outfit is cute, but I like you in your plain clothes: .......

'Really? Thank you!

Belle smiled happily at me when I complimented her clothes.

Yeah, it's so cute!

I'm dressed like an adventurer.

Because if you dress like a nobleman, you'll stand out.

I don't know if my dormitory is okay to go out, just in case, you know?

Okay, let's go outside.

I took Bell's hand in mine and used the transference.

He took an alleyway to the Imperial City.

All right, let's take a walk around the Imperial City. Where do you want to go?

No, not really. Do you have a Leo?

'Yeah ...... Oh, yeah! Now that I'm ten years old, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild or something.

It's always been on my mind.

I always wanted to go when I was ten.

”The Adventurers' Guild? Are you going to register?

Yeah, I thought I'd play adventurer in my spare time.

”Master Leo's mind can change from one thing to the next. You became an apprentice to a magician and before you knew it you were dabbling in making money ......

That's just the ...... flow. Well, it's good to experience things while you're young. Yeah.

Besides, it's more fun to try something, right?

I see. I'll continue to support Leo-sama.

Thank you. But I'm taking Belle with me this time, okay?

'What? Me too?

Yeah. Because I don't want to leave Belle alone.

Besides, it's going to be fun to have an adventure with Belle.

'What? Are you serious? Not that I can't fight ......, but ......

Yeah. Belle has beast and non-attribute magic.

Otherwise, I wouldn't want to be adventurers with you.

”It's all right. I just do some physical exercise on my days off.

It's only for fun, right?

All right. But please don't look at me according to Leo's standards, okay? I'm a very weak girl compared to Leo-sama, you know?

I know. Besides, I promised my mom I wouldn't go into the Devil's Wood until I was older.

I'm not going to break my word at the moment, okay?

See! It's funny how the standard is the Demon Forest! Please don't take me, a civilian, to such a place!

I mean, no need to be so angry: .......

I'm sorry. I'll start out slime fighting and stuff. ......?

Right? I want to be with Bell.

You can go to ......

'Yes! Then let's go!

I'm an adventurer at last.
