“…So there are people going around asking questions about you and your party. There may be people out there with a grudge against you, so be careful.” “Ah…” “They ask questions like ‘when was your party created’, ‘what have he been doing’, ‘what labyrinths have he conquered’, and ‘what does he usually do’. Quite persistent, don’t you think?” “Y-yes.” “…What is that insipid reaction? I’m doing you a favor by telling you all this,…-

In the back alley behind Sea Anemone, Tianna spoke at length about the time she met her master. Sometimes she would laugh as she remembered something, and her unintentionally girlish expression soothed Nick’s heart. “My master wasn’t really like a noble… He wouldn’t rely on servants most of the time, and he would stay locked up in his office instead of going home from time to time. At some point I had to start helping him clean.” “…That’s a little different from the…-

When I started my fourth year in the academy for nobles, I was called to the teacher’s room. There I was asked what I was studying, and to choose a master based on what my career path would be. Everyone had to choose a master in order to graduate, but school policy dictated that students were free to pick their master. Many students had to choose based on circumstances outside of school, and there were also times when some subjects had too many people and others too few, so sometimes the…-

Tianna laid flat on the ground, covered in sweat. “I can’t… I’m too tired.” “You’re going to get dirty lying there. Here’s a towel. And some water.” “Leave me. Let me stay here for five minutes.” “Well I don’t mind, but…” They were in the area behind Sea Anemone. Much like when Nick was practicing Stepping, they explained their situation and borrowed this area to train. Tianna changed into more comfortable clothing to train with Nick,…-

As they worked out the details of the match, their conversation with Wilma was coming to an end. “Both parties will begin their conquest of the labyrinth a week from today, early in the morning. The party that defeats the monster at the top, Ushikawa, wins. Only people present here today can participate, no more helpers will be allowed. Use of tools and items is allowed. Fighting between parties is prohibited. Any questions?” “Isn’t it possible that another party defeats it…-

Nick sat down, trying to compose his breathing after getting worked up. Bellocchio was completely silent, and looked at Nick with a harsh expression. “…I am not just ‘someone else’. I am her master, and I have a responsibility towards her well being, and her future.” But Nick was not willing to back down here. “And I’m her friend and leader. I have my responsibilities too.” “Are you going to say the same thing about Karan too?” Suddenly, Suisen…-

Everyone quietly listened to Nick. He started feeling awkward, turned away, and continued talking, seemingly justifying himself. “No, well, sorry for getting all worked up before even confirming any of that.” “It’s fine… Suisen is too forceful, so she had it coming.” Mumbled Karan, while not looking at Nick. Both seemed awkward and fidgety. “That’s enough. Stop making the mood turn into something bitter-sweet.” Complained Tianna.…-

Karan’s older sister. Everyone was surprised, but thought it made sense. “Karan.” “…S-sis…” “I’ve heard you’ve been through a lot… Go back to the village. If you think you’re still too immature, you know that’s what you should do.” Karan frowned hard at this sudden proposition. “…That has nothing to do with you.” “What did you say?” “I don’t get why you’re showing up all of a sudden and said that. If you…-

“I said I was sorry. Cheer up already.” “I’m not mad or anything! …I guess I’m a little mad that you didn’t tell me sooner.” Tianna was still sulking after they conquered Blazing Bird Peak and returned to Fishermen. To shake off the heat and exhaustion that came with exploring Blazing Bird Peak, she created ice with magic and placed it in her mug; chugging down her drink. Nick was awkwardly trying to calm her, but to no avail. “I told you… next time, we’re…-
