Chapter 551: Inn and Dormitory



After the tour by Inez, our next stop was a series of three towers near the center of the academy.


The other towers were built apart from each other, but these towers were built so that their foundations were attached, and the upper floors were connected by a walkway.


It seems to be a place used as a dormitory.


「It will be tomorrow afternoon when you’ll meet the Special Battle Class. So, I’d like you to come to the Instructor’s office at that time, is that okay?」


「Nn. Okay」


「Oh, right. I’ve also been asked to take you to your dormitory and another facility, so I’ll just show you around」


Did they prepare a dormitory for her? However―.


「Dormitory? But I’m currently staying at an inn」


It was as she said. Moreover, Fran liked the Green Ancient Tree Pavilion where she was staying now.


「It’s cheaper if you stay in the dorm… And Fran-dono doesn’t have any problems with it, right?」


But, what Fran was interested in was the matter of the spirit. The gaze that Fran felt last night seemed to be the gaze of a spirit. So that inn was suitable for her to train spirit magic.


However, there were even more spirits in the Academy of Magic. So, would it be even better for her to stay here then?


「Inez, are there a lot of spirits in there?」


「Eh? The spirits, huh…? Hmm…? I know there’s some in there, but I’ve never seen one」


「Not even once?」


「Unless a spirit magic user is willing to visualize them, the figures of lower or middle-ranked spirits are invisible. However, if it’s a powerful being like the Great Spirit, even someone like me can see them」


「Is that so?」


「Well, I’ve heard it once from someone before」


Surely, the Great Spirit, that Klimut was said to have calmed down, was said to have had its appearance witnessed by many people back then.


「Well, I think the spirits in this academy are quite hidden, so it’s harder for people who can’t use spirit magic to see them, right?」


If that was the case, it wouldn’t be that good of a training method for spirit users, wouldn’t it? No, was it the better training instead? I’m sure they were there, and if she try to sense them. It might be good training for her.


「Hmmm」


「Staying at the dorm is also convenient because it is only a short walk from our workplace. They also serve meals to us too」


「They serve meals?」


「Woof?」


That was what interested you, huh? Well, that kind of thing has always made Fran and Urushi interested.


「Eh? Yes, you’ll also get a different meal every day」


Inez was puzzled by her unexpected reaction. Up to now, she’d been indifferent to anything she said, but her eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly started questioning her back. Just like that, with Fran and Urushi staring at her she told us about the menu for the past few days.


「They usually serve the same breakfast, but lunch and dinner are different every day. And the amount is quite large too」


「Is it tasty?」


「Woof?」


「Its taste? I-I’m sorry but I haven’t paid attention to that matter… But at least, it doesn’t taste bad, I guess?」


So at least it wasn’t something super tasty, huh? However, Fran and Urushi were curious about the food they served in the dining hall.


「I want to try it. I’ll decide after I eat there」


「You’ll decide based on the food?」


「Of course」


「Woof」



「Th-that’s fine then… I think we can still have lunch now, so let’s go to the cafeteria」


「Nn」


She told us that the dining hall for the students was so large that it could accommodate up to a thousand people, but the dining hall for the teachers was more comfortable. It seemed that they also served the same meals for the students and the teachers.


「This room is quite small though?」


「Well, the one for the students is ten times larger than this」


The teachers’ cafeteria was large enough to accommodate a hundred people. It was reasonably clean and the atmosphere was not bad.


「Please wait a moment」


「Nn」


Inez then rushed to the counter. There she talked to an aunt in her apron.


She then somehow pointed at us, so I guess she was talking about Fran and Urushi.


「Today’s menu is bean and ground meat soup, salad, potatoes with cheese, fish pie, and fruits. Is there anything you don’t like?」


「No」


「Very well then, please wait」


「Want a large portion」


「Understood. They also said that they’ll serve a meal for Urushi too. Do they need to serve it on a wide plate?」


「Nn」


「Woof」


Then Inez brought us our meal. The menu was just as we had been told. The soup and potatoes were almost twice as much as Inez’s could eat, probably because she asked for a large serving.


「Just ask for a refill if you want more」


It doesn’t look bad. However, when Fran and Urushi smelled the meal, their expressions were subtle.


The meal was not well-prepared, and they probably did not use that many seasonings. The portions were large, and the vegetables were plentiful and nutritious, but the taste may be mediocre.


「Thanks for the meal」


「Woof」


「Mogu mogu…」


「Momu momu…」


『How is it?』


I could imagine what it would taste like by the looks on their faces, but I asked them about it.


(It tastes normal…)


(Woof…)


It was not bad, but it was not really tasty either. The serving was large, but they didn’t seem to want to eat a lot of it. That was how it seemed to be.


After all, the most important thing for an Academy meal was to be nutritious and fulfilling. They were serving meals for thousands of people after all, so I couldn’t blame them.


「How is it?」


「Nn. I’m not going to stay in the dorm」


「Woof!」


「So you choose to commute from the inn?」


Inez was puzzled by Fran and Urushi’s decision to choose the inn.


In her mind, she was probably thinking “Just because of the meal?”. But for Fran, that was the most important thing.


「I-I understand. I’ll ask them to give you an entry pass then」


「Please do」


「Woof」
