66 – Preparing for the Tes (1/2)

t

My heart felt heavy to just leave Saria like that.

However, such occasions might increase from now on.

Saria, and also I must get used to this.

As I was reluctant to part with Saria, the nursery personnel came up to us,

「I have heard about the circumstances from President-sensei. Please entrust the rest to us」

「Thank you, sorry for bothering you」

「Please don’t worry, the nursery is fundamentally operational 24 hours a day」

It seems that, as we move up as upperclassman, classes and training which require staying overnight increases as well.

So, the nursery has accommodation prepared, and the personnel work in a shift-system.

「Even now, there are three other children who are staying over besides Saria-chan and Rose-chan」

「I see」

「Would you like to entrust RunRun-chan as well?」

「Yes, please」

「RunRun-chan is quite popular among the children, which is also helpful for us」

The woman smiled as she said.

RunRun drew closer to me.

I knelt down beside RunRun, and brush his head and body.

「RunRun, take care of Saria」

「woof」

「Sorry for making you babysit」

「woofwoof」

As though saying don’t worry, RunRun began licking my face.

Rosetta and I finished saying our goodbyes to Saria, Rose, and RunRun.

Saria, Rose, and RunRun are very obedient.

Small children should be a little more selfish though…

I shall spoil them a lot afterwards.

After that, we returned to the President Office.

Thereupon, miscellaneous tools were lined up on the desk in the President’s Office.

While Xenovia was still present, Regina was not. Surely, she went to make preparations.

Xenovia said.

「Will, Rosetta, you came at the right moment, you should also request the necessary tools for dungeon exploration」

「Necessary tools?」

Apparently, Tina has lined up the types of tools that she thinks is necessary for dungeon exploration on the table.

Torch, rope, emergency rations, water, and such were lined up on the table.

There was a magic bag beside Xenovia where all these came from.

「Actually, I would have preferred to hand over the money, and have you purchase the items you need at the Royal Capital but we are short on time」

We have been in the President Office since the classes ended.

And we also discussed various matters, and even went to the nursery. Dusk is almost upon us.

It’s about closing time for the shops which sells tools which are necessary for dungeon exploration.

That is why Xenovia was supplying us with the tools instead.

「If I were to hand over the tools I thought were necessary, then that would defeat the point of the test, wouldn’t it?」

Xenovia only hands over the necessary tools that we deem are necessary.
