At the same time, Ange and her party, led by Creare, had found an entrance to the basement. 

The wooden door had a lock on it, but it was rusted and battered. 

Ange holds up her rifle. 

“Back off, both of you” 

When the lock was shot, the door was opened, and the entrance to the basement was opened. 

After ejecting the rifle casing with a familiar hand, Ange picks up the lantern at her waist and raises it. 

Lanterns made of magic stone are smaller and brighter than ordinary ones. 

When the dark passageway is illuminated, Ange is unafraid to move on. 

Worried about Ange, Noel grabbed her arm and stopped her. 

“Wait a minute. Aren’t we going too fast? Let’s go a little more carefully.” Ange turned around and let out a small sigh at Noel’s attitude. 

“If we take our time, Leon and the others will find the treasure first.” 

“But, you know, there are monsters out there. We have to keep moving forward while being safe.” 

“Creare is doing a good job of scouting the surroundings, so there’s no problem.” 

When her name was called, Creare shone a light from her blue lenses, illuminating the dark passageway. 

Apparently, she had grasped the structure of the underground passageway. 

[I can’t confirm the presence of any threatening monsters. But structurally, it doesn’t look like the whole basement is connected.] 

The underground dungeon prepared under the old castle was divided into several sections. 

Ange ponders. 

“If we pull the wrong one, it’s a waste of time, but we can’t afford to look anywhere else.” 

When Ange is distracted, Noel asks her the reason. 

“Why are you in such a hurry?” 

Then Ange gave Noel a slightly squinty-eyed look. 

“You don’t understand anything. Our opponent is Leon, you know.” Noel also knows that Leon is a man who does things when he has to. 

But there was still a difference in perception with Ange. 

Ange asks Noel to evaluate Leon as an adventurer. 

“He is the man who, at the age of fifteen, single-handedly discovered a lost item at the end of a great adventure. His age is astonishing, but he is a hero who has done a great deal all by himself.” 

“I heard that. He found Luxion, didn’t he?” 

“No, you don’t understand! You have no idea how great that guy is! I’ll take this opportunity to walk you through it.” 

Moving on, Ange tells Noel about a hero named Leon as they walk. 

Noel watched this with a wry smile as she looked at Ange’s back. 


(What, it’s not like she hates him, huh? Disappointment ―― is also wrong?) 

Noel was relieved to see Ange happy to talk about Leon. 

She didn’t expect the two of them to continue to fight and break up, but she still thought there was a change in their relationship. 

But Ange had not changed. 

“To begin with, that guy is said to have miraculously pulled off a great adventure, but that’s a lie. When he was a first-year student, we had gone to the village of the elves with Leon. That’s when he found the hidden passageway in the ruins and got the treasure. “ 

“He~” 

When she replies without concern, Ange tells the rest of the story. 

She was somewhat like being proud of herself. 

“He found a sapling of the sacred tree in the Republic, didn’t he? How can a coincidence last three times? That guy is a great adventurer and a great hero.” 

“So you acknowledge Leon.” 

“Of course. He is a man who will go down in the history of the kingdom! ――That’s why I tried so hard to be worthy of him” 

Noticing Ange’s slowly becoming discouraged, Noel turned to Livia, who was hurriedly following behind them. 

Since a while ago, Livia has not spoken a word. 

“Hey, Livia-chan, say something.” 

When she whispered to her, Livia was looking at an old castle ornament she had picked up somewhere. 

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the patterns ――. 

“Noel-san, look at this! This, this pattern! This is the pattern that was used in the civilization that is said to have perished. I can’t judge the shape of it because it’s rotting away, but maybe it’s a great find” 

Seeing Livia begin to talk about a piece of something of the ancient civilizations, Noel’s cheeks were pulled back. 

“Livia-chan, aren’t you worried about Angelica-san’s condition?” Are you forgetting the purpose of this event? 

When she asked Livia with such anxiety, she received a surprising answer. “It’s fine” “Eh?” 

What’s it’s fine? Livia smiled and watched Ange’s back as she walked ahead. 

“Both Ange and Leon-san should have clashed more.” 

“Clashed more, you said” 

Would it really work? To Noel’s worried look, Livia smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it.” 

But when Ange, walking ahead, inadvertently drops and destroys an ornament placed in the passageway――. 

“Ange! Didn’t I tell you not to break the ornaments as much as possible, right?” ―― She started running and approached Ange. 

Ange is cornered by Livia against the wall. 

“Y-You’re wrong! Because I was thinking something” 

Livia asks Ange, who is flustered, with a straight face. 

“You promised not to destroy them, right? Right? You promised me that you would keep all of them because they are important relics, didn’t you?” 

“――Livia, forgive me” 

Seeing that Livia was making Ange apologize, Noel put her hand on her head. 

“I knew it, making Livia-chan angry is scary.”
