“That’s enough, isn’t it, Amanda? I’d like to start the training soon.”

Serena-san opened her mouth, without minding Amanda-san—who was obviously angry—at all.

Eeh. You’re saying that, in this kind of atmosphere now?

Eeeh?

“Meow.”

I was so surprised that I ended up hugging Noir tightly in spite of myself, thus receiving a protest.

Sorry, Noir.

“…Serena. You’re not able to read the situation as usual, huh?”

Amanda-san sighed and muttered with an inaudible small voice, “That’s what I’m envious of from nobles.”

Certainly, I felt that nobles were excellent at expressing their true feelings.

The black-bellied racoon in front of me…No, I meant Count Rainier was racoon-like, but he was really good at expressing himself without words of gesture. He was currently looking at Amanda-san and Serina-san’s exchange as if he found it fun.

“Count Rainier is a busy person. Since he’s able to teach Yuuri some Earth magic, we ought to make good use of the time.”

“Good grief, you completely don’t understand, do you?”

Amanda-san put her hand on her forehead before walking in front of me. As soon as she did that, I could no longer see Count Rainier’s figure.

This… Is she hiding me?

“Anyway, we’re going to return to our room. Yuuri-chan, let’s go.”

“Wait, Amanda!”

Amanda-san turned her back to Serina-san as she took my hand and we left the training grounds.

“Amanda-san, is this okay?”

When I asked in concern, Amanda-san smiled at me, as if telling me to not worry.

“Yeah. I’ll leave it to Leader to think about what to do next. …Eh, dear me, just when we just talked about him, here he comes.”

At the stairway during our journey to return from the training grounds, we met Leon-san and Argo-san who seemed to be in a hurry. Leon-san was as expressionless as usual, but Argo-san looked worried at first before he heaved a breath of relief.

“Amanda and Yuuri-chan, did something happen?”

As Argo-san asked, Amanda-san answered while frowning.

“Not only Count Rainier, but Krumm was also there. …Why did he have to bring him along?!”

“That is…bad.”

“Very. It’s also troubling that Serina couldn’t read the situation. Moreover, she thought that she was in the right, it’s really a bad character of her that she won’t admit her own wrongs.”

Hm? According to Amanda-san and Argo-san’s conversation, the problematic one wasn’t Count Rainier, but it was Krumm-san who was with him?

I wonder why? Isn’t Krumm-san just an ordinary attendant?

“Anyway, I’ll go to give a warning.”

Leon-san said and Amanda-san nodded.

“Please do. I was also negligent because I thought it was just Serina. I’m terribly sorry.”

“No. In this case, Serina is the one at fault, so there’s no need for you to apologize, Amanda. …Argo, go to the office with Amanda and Yuuri-chan first. I’ll go there later.”

“Understood, Leader.”

Uhm…What’s going on?

Someone, please explain it to me-!

We arrived at the office in silent and for the time being, I sat on the sofa. Noir was on my lap, and on top of Noir’s head was Purun—it was as if Purun was copying Karin-san’s slime hat.

“Hmm…Speaking about Krumm, it’s that Krumm, right?”

“Yeah, that Krumm.”

Argo-san folded his arms as Amanda-san confirmed.

I wonder what they meant by saying that Krumm. Is he that famous?

As I inclined my head in confusion, Argo-san gave an explanation.

“Krumm the dwarf is famous as an artifact researcher.”

“Artifact, is it?”

The term ‘artifact’ also existed in Elysia Online, but I wonder if those two were the same?

It is a term for weapons that are called as [the gods’ relics] that are dropped after we defeated the dungeon’s bosses, and they will always have the title of an [artifact] written in their names.

For example, the armor dropped by the Moon Goddess, it’s called as [Artifact – Lunaria]. The Ancient Imperial Emperor dropped a weapon called as [Artifact – Kaizer].

Among them, there was an artifact called as [Artifact – Duston] that was famous as a bugged weapon because there were lots of errors in it, but it was a general name for the amazing legendary-class weapons or armours.

I also have a set of the [Artifact – Lunaria] armours. The set is splendid since it has an effect of preventing confusion and charm. However, I couldn’t use it now due to the level restrictions, so it was stored deep inside the item box.

“That’s right. It’s rumored that his monocle is something developed for artifact research purposes.”

Monocle, in other words, the glasses-like thing?

Then, I wonder if Krumm-san invented glasses here?

When I asked about it, Argo-san shook his head.

Eh? It’s wrong?

“It is a kind of magic tool that replaces the appraisal eye.”

Appraisal eye…In other words, if we were to wear that monocle, we would be able to appraise using it, right?

I wonder if that means I’d be able to see my own status and everything else?

If so…Isn’t it quite bad?!
