Due to the sheer size of the campus, the Academy could accommodate a total of ten thousand people, student and faculty staff combined

Thanks to that, the dors with a great distance, not to nated for various kinds of extracurricular activities

「Is that true, Elvie? You hest Rank Hunter toon the scheical device at his desk in the club room located in the most remote part of the Academy, looked behind him at his Elf friend, Iori Eisel

「It's true, I keep on telling you this over and over, Iori We went on a quest together and he told un」

「But really, the highest rank Hunter? Why would someone like that, who is usually requested by the Royal family or the richest of merchants, come to a town like Hibernia in the first place? And ould he go on a quest with you and wanted to ine all that?」

「You sure are right in so to explain those Cassia roots that I'un?」

「Ah! This is, well…… Maybe you bought the on your food expenses?」

Iori frohen he heard Elvie's response He earing a scrubs on top of his uniform, with his hands in its pockets

「I would certainly do that if I hadn't met Noct-san, but since he split the bonus for the Earthworm in half, I was able to not do that, while also replenishi+ng thematerials」

「Truly, that saved you It looks like it was rateful for that Wish our club would have a leader like that」

「You say leader, but still we are allowed to carry on with our activities even though we have less than five members」

In spite of his delicate appearance, Elvie smiled in a way that was not-in-the-least nice or delicate

「No, look, I arateful for that And for the fact that you invited me in the first place Thanks to that I can tinker with h I am an Elf」

「Aah Now that I think about, why are you even here? You should have gone with the nor like that」

「Hey, were you even listening to what I was saying just now That's so like you」

Iori rolled his eyes in an exaggerated manner

「I mean yeah, there are quite a lot of options to choose from, but you see, there are lots of dwarves in those clubs, and they are usually really hard-headed and have bad manners Even if I wanted to use those facilities they si excuses like: the weak Elves should just sing or dance!, or so like that」

「Yeah, now that youIori's explanation, but still, even if he was airowth and develop Iori to the club was still a bit of a reckless thing to do

「The roo apart, but at least I can freely do whatever I want And besides, you're the one who takes care of most of the club's expenses」

「Oi」

「Besides, I really liked the idea of that h a lot of things Iori spoke about made hi that last sentence

「Yeah, and without you and Mikoto being around, I don't think I would still be sticking with that idea」

「Really? It was your ultioal' that ain, I was surprised when you proposed 'that kid' to join in as well Why?」

Sensing the ridicule in his words, Elvie frantically dropped his head

「Aah, sorry for not asking you guys for opinion first」

「You thought there was no need since you are the Club President? Or maybe it was because you were asked by the teacher or because you sympathize with him on some level? Does he even knohat our activities are? Or ht that he would back out if he knew? What was your reason?」

「This, is……」

Elvie was at a loss for words, suddenly being pressed by Iori like that, but then the door to the club room opened

「El-senpai, Io-senpai, hello!」

「Hi there, Aru You're late」

Iori raised his hand in response to Aru greeting, a young boy wearing the unifor a tie in olive color, a symbol of the Liberal Arts course

The boy joined their club about a irly-like face with fair hair that were triht

「Yes, but I was asked to help, since people had quite a lot of trouble with understanding the material they needed for their homework, and so they wantedthat explanation That's our eleven year-old boy, who ed to score the nickname of a 'Genius Proble at the Academy

「And later, while I was on my way here I wandered into the people from martial arts club as they tried to recruit me, the culinary club, and so on and so on, so I had to lose thehed hearing Aru's serious answer, and then he turned towards the girl in black uniforical course, who happened to enter the roo that you hold in your hand?」

「…… Fried Dodo bird」

The girl held a paper bag in her hand, from which a pair of red skewers stood out Fro that wasabout her were the pair of fox ears atop of her head, a sy a half-beast

Additionally, she had a fluffy tail behind her, noaying with joy

「Mi-san helped uys to bring us a sample of one of their e fro club One of their ovens see it later to have it fixed」

「Oh, good to know in advance」

Said Iori while taking one skewer froe of money between students in the Acadeatory custom that various clubs would help each other out for set a hold of founding if their activities were useful to others, and so cooperation was easy and beneficial

Since Elvie's club was basically a 'Magic Machines Developet asked by other students and clubs to fix their various devices and o there later」

「Iori, I'll leave it to you」

Elvie took the skewer that Aru gave him in his hand and took a bite off the treat

「Mh just how many flavors the cuisine of this country has」

「You don't have things like that in your country, Mikoto?」

Iori asked, and Mikoto fell silent while looking for an answer, folding an ee student from a country far away across the ocean to the east, whose inhabitants were totally different from people across the Western continent

「No, it's certainly different」
