“Quality and Inventory Manager Arnoy. “Recite each inventory of how many potions you have.”

“This Arnoy, who refuses to be the goddess’ errand boy and stands tall on his own, refuses to listen to anyone’s orders… !”

“I’ll give you honey candy.”

“I’m just going to quickly investigate… ! The nymph sisters can’t wait to get together… !”

The warehouse was filled with potions made from ingredients obtained by various people.

Taking stock is also work, but nymphs like Arnoy check it carefully with their small hands, so the work is completed quickly.

“There are 300 low-level recovery potions, 500 medium-level recovery potions, and 100 high-level recovery potions… ! And there are 78 potions with heat resistance properties… , Ah… ! One has just been reduced… !”

Arnoy’s eyes were looking at Ariol, who was drinking her potion.

Since the heat-resistant potion tastes quite good, it seems that the nymphs drank a few of them as they were pleased.

It wasn’t much of a problem because I had already accepted that much when I had them take inventory. The quantity is ample.

“…”

At that time, I could tell that Arnoy was trying to tell me something.

Are you asking me to let you drink a sweet potion too?

“If it’s a vitality potion, we have plenty in stock, so you can drink one.”

“Ahh… ! Is this really a good thing? !”

The guy was simply amazed.

I feel like I’m starting to get a feel for how best to treat nymphs now.

However, Arnoy did not go to take the vitality potion and hesitated in front of me.

Could it be that?

“Stocktaking. Well done.”

I placed my hand on Arnoy’s head.

When I stroked his hair with a little force, as if I was going to mess it up, he said that he liked it.

“I’m stroking more vigorously… ” !”

“It’s tricky.”

“This ariol is also being petted… !”

Immediately, I patted the nymphs and imps that had gathered around me one more time. Then, perhaps because he got tired of me stroking him, he said, “Now we’re going to have fun…” ” ” The nymphs rush out saying “!”.

“Very arbitrary.”

While I’m mumbling alone, someone laughs.

“I guess I’ve become very friendly with the nymphs now. Nymphs are secretly proud and don’t let anyone stroke their heads.”

“… ?”

When I turned my head, I saw wavy pumpkin-colored hair near the warehouse entrance.

The skin is white and the corners of the mouth are red.

Her eyes were quite languid, but she had the look of a rich man’s wife.

“You…”

“It’s called Clarisse, the nymph of the stream. “You know?”

“Was it the principal’s wife?”

“So you remembered? While I was walking, I heard the laughter of nymphs from afar, so I stopped by. “I ended up seeing something really interesting.”

I felt somewhat out of place.

I can’t believe you caught me playing with nymphs.

Of course, Madam Clarisse didn’t seem to care.

“The nymphs are following along well. These days, in many ways, there are more nymphs in Ludens than before. Really… , What should I say. It feels amazing.”

It’s even amazing.

Clarisse, the nymph of the stream, said things that were not even asked about whether the remote area was wide.

“Actually… , Things have gotten a lot better these days, but nymphs were ostracized here and there. Nymphs have many friends who are unfamiliar with various things, and they are easily taken advantage of in places where they are welcome.”

“I think I understand.”

It’s worth it.

It was a convincing story.

“Especially the nymph Arnoi of the ditch… “Except for Clarice, I was the only nymph left in Ludence, so I had a hard time in many ways.”

“Is that so?”

“Because no one wanted to take care of it. The only people who approached Arnoy were those who wanted to use the nymph’s mysterious power. “He was a child with many scars.”

Arnoy had a wound.

I had no idea because he was so lively that it seemed like there was a screw missing somewhere.

“For these reasons, nymphs do not easily trust people. I was like that too. It’s already been 10 years since I met her husband Midas, and our upcoming wedding anniversary, but hehe… It reminds me of what happened back then.”

Clarisse chatted quietly, as if she didn’t have much to do.

He said he went for a walk, so he might have been bored.

Arnoy also comes next to me and chatters when he’s bored, and Claris, a nymph from the stream, is also big, and seems to be the same as the nymphs from the small ditch.

“At that time, Midas, who came to Clarisse Village, was so embarrassed when he saw me… She said she would call her nymph sisters together for me now, but…”

“I see.”

Since she is the principal’s wife, it would be a good idea to match her style.

The principal’s wife is a powerful person in her own right.

If you display it well, you might benefit from things like budgeting?

“If only my husband and I hadn’t met in Clarice Village back then. We may not have met ditch water nymphs like Victor and Arnoy. “Isn’t it amazing what is meant by fate?”

“…”

This was quite an interesting story.

Full level Victorica didn’t know her nymph.

Perhaps, it is a world in which Midas and the stream nymph Clarice never met each other. That’s why nymphs were not admitted to Ludens.

“By the way, did you say Clarice Village?”

“Do you know? Although the village is now gone.”

If it’s Clarice Village…

Isn’t this the town where the main character Luke lived?

Concerned by the strange connection, I decided to visit the principal.

* * *

“What? How did my wife and I meet? Are you saying you want to hear a story about my first love? It’s been a while since I heard this question. Hmm. Let’s see…”

Principal Midas, with his shiny hair, began to reminisce.

If things continue like this, I might have to listen to a story about a first love that I’m not interested in for more than an hour.

It seemed like an annoying sub-quest, “Middle-aged Nostalgia” Was about to start, so I decided to just ask about the business.

“No, to be precise, I’m curious about why you went to Clarisse Village. You said you went to Clarisse Village 10 years ago. “What is the reason?”

“Reason? Of course it was because of a request. At that time, I was both an adventurer and a teacher. It was a request to find someone in Clarice Village.”

“He is a person. What kind of person was he? Who is the client?”

“Wow, this guy. I have a lot of questions. “Unlike a student like you, I’m busy, you idiot.”

“Then, I won’t have time to drink this either.”

Zech.

I held something out to the grunting principal.

The principal’s eyes light up when he sees that.

“This… , Condor White Logman. It’s a pretty expensive drink, though. Drinking even with my salary is quite a burden. Hmm.”

From noble mtl dot come

“I heard it from Clarisse. It’s your wedding anniversary soon, right? “Wine cannot be left out on a wedding anniversary.”

“…”

The principal looked at me.

He had an expression like, “Look at this guy,” But then he took the wine and hid it under the desk.

“Students are not allowed to have alcohol in their possession. I’ll keep this for you. Anyway, how much did we talk about? Was it the client? The client was Cain Arkwright.”

“Cain… ? Cain asked you to find someone?”

“Okay. Well, at the time, I was actually one of the best adventurers. The person I was looking for was…”

The principal was about to say something when he looked at me.

Then she took out a cigarette, lit it, and said lightly.

“The man I was looking for was Avon.”

“Didn’t you say that Avon died in a fight with the Sword Saint during the War of the Roses?”

“But there were rumors that he was alive. I don’t know why Senior Cain wanted to find that man. Maybe he just wanted to end the duel that ended lukewarmly.”

“So did you find it?”

“No. I stayed in the village for quite some time, but I couldn’t find it. Thanks to that, I met a wife there at that time whose name was the same as that of the village, but…”

It was quite an interesting story.

It feels like things like ‘backstory’ that I didn’t know about are being revealed.

Cain.

Did the man’s chosen action cause a big storm like the flapping of a butterfly’s wings?

So, in the pre-DLC world where max-level Victorica lived, Cain did not hire Midas to find Avon.

That’s why nymphs didn’t appear either.

“…”

As I was thinking about various options, the principal put out his cigarette in the ashtray.

And then, “That I smoked.” “Keep it a secret from her wife.”

“Okay.”

“Are you planning to find your father?”

“If it’s your father, is it Avon?”

“Okay. I thought that was the only reason he was asking about Clarisse Village. “Maybe you believe the rumor that Avon is alive somewhere nearby.”

“Well.”

If he’s still alive, I’d like to meet him once.

I’m curious about what he does.

* * *

When I returned to the club room, Enio was there.

“Is there anything you need?”

“I was wondering if there was anything Tenebris might like.”

If it’s Tenebris, is it the black nymph?

It reminds me of the fact that the nymph who was abandoned by Nyx was the one who followed Enio the best among us, so Enio decided to keep her in charge.

Enio said, “I can’t believe I take care of someone. “I’ve always been treated like a lady, but it’s amazing,” She said with a laugh. I thought he would be annoyed at having to take care of such a troublesome burden, but I am glad to see that he actually looks happy.

Is there any problem?

Is this the end of Goddess Nyx’s work?

When asked about it, Enio answered lightly.

“The Knicks’ energy has really faded now. The people inside the shadow village will also see a good time and be liberated outside of my shadow.”

“I see.”

“Also, I’d like to talk to my father again a little bit. But I guess I’m busy these days so I can’t get in touch with you. Is it because they drove the soldiers to the vicinity of Seonghwangcheong?”

“I will have no choice but to give up on that sooner or later. “If we maintain military tension, war may really break out.”

If the northern forces that had marched to the vicinity of Seonghwangcheong are withdrawn, the time will come to put pressure on Cain at Seonghwangcheong again.

In many ways, I can feel that the schedule is tight.

Pot-.

At that time, a loud noise erupted.

When I looked outside the window, a dazzling light was bursting out.

I went outside to see what was going on and found Victorica panting with her hands on the floor.

“Whoa, whoa… Even though it is the same technology, the output is so different…”

“It’s a difference in experience. There is at least half a year difference between you and me.”

The Victoricas were sparring with each other.

That sight is quite fascinating.

“Why are you wasting your potential? “Why don’t you try harder?”

Zuuung.

A halo of light began to gather behind the max-level Victorica.

Even to me, who is not good at detecting mana, the magical power that is clearly visible is quite brutal. Its shape was like the wings of a butterfly.

Butterfly wings that shine like dozens of fluorescent lights put together.

“Is it 《Fairy Light》?”

The skills and effects I know are the same.

If my prediction is correct, that would have been a ‘self-reinforcing buff’skill that Victorica could learn when she was promoted to “Bright Victorica” And would increase her overall performance for a few turns.

It was a skill that allowed Victorica, who already had strong one-hit damage, to more safely defeat her opponent with one hit.

Monsters that would never die without leaving a trace will be completely eliminated when you turn on the “Fairy Light”.

Victorica said, wearing butterfly wings made of light on her back.

“If this were me, I’d be a little disappointed. I’m too complicated. I have seen hell. You…”

The full-level Victorica pushed the small Victorica.

It seems quite pitiful to see the little one lying flat on the floor, unable to even open its eyes

“Leave it at that.”

I thought it would be a good idea to stop this sparring.

This just seemed like one-sided harassment.

I also did not forget my admiration for the brilliant Victorica.

“I never thought I could even use 《Fairy Light》. “That’s amazing.”

“It’s not that big of a deal. “This happens to everyone when they go through a lot.”

Max level Victorica spoke quite humbly.

It feels somewhat cold, but this is the original Victorica.

“Ugh, I am so overwhelming…”

It’s rather surprising that the guy on her knees over there is hot. In fact, it was my first time seeing a Victoriana like that.

“We’re the same, but why is there such a difference… ” !”

Park-.

Little Victoria pounded her fist on the floor as if she were extremely angry. Thanks to that, the ground rumbles slightly.

Is she resentful of losing to herself?

If I lose in a mirror match with the same character, I get twice as angry. Even if the other person provokes her, there is nothing she can do about it even if the top of her head her her her turns.

“Victor, I’m talking about going to the east field. If things continue like this, a lot of people will get hurt. “The river of flames and its dragons are not easy opponents.”

At that time, max level Victorica spoke to me.

The guy looked at his other self lying on the floor, and she calmly added an explanation.

“We better get rid of that guy. Anyway, since I’m here, I can replace that guy’s role. No, I can actually do better.”

“Well, well… ? Leave me out? How dare anyone do whatever they want… !”

“You are weak. The amount of magical power is low and the range of spells is not wide.”

It’s a fact.

The current Victorica’s magical power was not as large as expected, and the range of spells she could use was not as large.

Above all, I couldn’t even get close to the promotion quest.

Originally, the standard would be to kill Victor, awaken, and become ‘Victorica of Radiance.’

Little Victorica bit her lip as if she was indignant at such a factual attack.

I didn’t hesitate to tell him about the max level Victorica.

“You could end up holding yourself back for no reason. Then again, something might happen where you can’t protect the person you need to protect. A situation may arise where you have to finish it with your own hands.”

“I-I… ” .”

“Victoria Arkwright. I’m saying this for you. No, that would actually be a lie. “I’m saying this for myself.”

The face of full-level Victorica contained quite aloof sadness.

Is this the profile of the little prince who looks at the sun setting and rising every day to forget his sorrow? Little Victorica was so overwhelmed by the strange expression of loss on her face that she couldn’t say anything.

So I decided to speak for him.

“No, that’s wrong.”

“What? Victor, are you saying I’m wrong?”

“Yes.”

“You’re criticizing my words, something like this… ” .”

Was Victor in that world obedient?

No, there probably wasn’t even a conversation in the first place.

I guess it’s good.

“Although the Victorica over there has less magic power than you and a smaller range of magic. It boils over quickly and the drooling gets even worse. Even though he has a strong tendency to laugh at people’s words, he is irreplaceable on this expedition.”

“…”

Max level Victorica frowned as if she couldn’t understand.

I spoke lightly to him.

“It’s a day.”

“One day?”

“Fight again at this location a day later. Then you will see that you are wrong.”

“… Am I wrong? “Now, are you telling me that my thoughts are wrong?”

It is true that the current Victorica is weaker than the standard promoted ‘Victoria of Splendor’.

However, it is also true that I have been carefully nurturing him in many ways, knowingly or unknowingly, from last semester until now.

Now the time has come for it to bloom.

“Victoria Arkwright. “I’ll show you the potential you don’t even know about.”
