After school the next day. We came to the university in Tokyo to report the end of the quest to our client.

In normal quests, delivering reports and objects of interest to the guild is all that ends, but in quests involving the living and dying of these people, it was a practice to report them directly to the client at the end of the day to tighten them.

In many cases, clients who are not convinced just that they were reported inorganically by the guild are convinced if they are reported directly to the adventurer who saw the body.

"Ha-ha-ha, this is college. You're all fashionable and grown-up."

Anna, diving through the main gate, raised her admiration as she looked around her.

The place, the first university I visited, seemed to be full of liberation and sophistication, unlike that of high school.

All the college students around here wore stylish, clean clothes and hairstyles, and even though they said they were only a few years different from us, they also seemed calm.

When I saw a high school student as a junior high school student, I saw him as an adult for a long time, but the college student from the high school student looked like another adult separated from the world.

... Most likely, as I realized that the contents haven't changed that much if I try to be a high school student, I realize that I'm not that adult if I try to be a college student.

"... you know, seniors. They haven't seen us?

Our appearance in high school uniforms seems to catch the attention of our surroundings, and the curious eyes of college students have been gathering since earlier.

No, you're not. Here. The only thing that stands out is the color of Anna's hair, which is too colorful.

As we were feeling uncomfortable, a man standing by the fountain near the main entrance approached us.

"Um, are you the seventeen-night moon who might have taken the request?

It was a young man about twenty years old who seemed moderate who had spoken that way.

I guess I immediately came to the idea of who the young man was. Anna answers.

"Oh, yes! Could it be Aoki?

"Yes. It's Makoto Aoki. Thank you for taking this request."

That said, Aoki bowed his head.

"What is it here, and for now, in the room"

"Oh, yes."

Aoki will guide you to the Circle room.

The room was thoughtfully small, the central table took the place, and the walls were packed with all sorts of things, and it felt like if only five or six people were allowed in, it would be a goose.

When I spoke of the university department, I had the impression that it was more luxurious than that in high school, so it was not surprising how the poor minister looked besides my thoughts.

But even in such a room it seemed enough for Anna, and she glanced over at the room.

"Seniors, seniors! Room, room, room! Hey, it looks small and spicy, and now it feels like a small circle room!"

"Kola!

How rude of her!

In a hurry, the weave and the two of us make Anna bow her head. Your moms are embarrassed when you do stupid things!

Aoki said with a bitter smile when he saw us like that.

"Hey, I'm sorry, it's a small circle of about a few minutes. The Adventurer's Department has bigger rooms and more people."

"Oh really..."

I don't really understand the difference between the part and the circle either, and I could only give it back that way for now.

"So... you discovered Shoko's body."

"Ah, yes. This is the deed confirming the artifact."

That being said, Anna handed the deed issued by the guild.

Receive it, Mr. Aoki bows his head.

"Thank you...... After all, Shoko was dead..."

I asked Aoki, who groaned sadly, wondering if I could ask.

"... Um, what do you mean by Shoko Sato..."

"She and I were lovers"

"Was it..."

Without knowing what to say to Aoki, who loses her lover and brings tears to her eyes, Anna and I were silent.

At that time, the weave, which had been observing the surroundings in silence since entering the room, accidentally opened its mouth.

"... is this the Adventurer Circle?

"Huh?"

Aoki, who suddenly asks questions.

"Earlier...... because you said the Adventurers' Department was wider. And there's adventurer supplies on the wall."

When I said that and looked ahead the weave pointed, there was a peek at something like a body armor that just popped out of the cardboard a little bit.

He found it well...

"Yeah... Yes. We are Adventurer Circle. Unlike the Beech Adventurers Club, there are a few people who will be entertained…"

"I see... do you often go to the labyrinth with her?

"Yes, the reason I went out with her was that I became her mentor. The card she was using was also originally rented by me, so naturally..."

When I heard that, I said, "Are you serious! You had that way of making her! I guess I'll go to college too," I felt something caught in the corner of my head, even as I was shocked.

"Heh! It's amazing how much you can afford to rent a card, entrusted with mentoring juniors!

Weave says with a captivating voice like none I've ever heard before, a mesmerizing grin.

Besides, Aoki seemed less than satisfied with Anna and me elsewhere.

"No, no... Well, this is still two stars."

Hmm!? Two stars......?

I finally realized the slightest sense of discomfort I had with Aoki there.

The weave takes away the fragrant look and cuts sharply in with a suspicious look.

"Two stars...? Um, with all due respect... didn't you go looking for Shoko Sato yourself?

"Huh! Well, that's..."

Aoki stuffing words with woven words.

So I finally realized who the discomfort was, too.

Yes. If he's also an adventurer, and a two-star adventurer, it shouldn't be weird to go looking for a lover with his own hands. No, it's more natural. The very fact that we sent out a search request is unnatural.

On the field, pressing air begins to flow.

That's when the noise of a knock rang in the room.

"Uh-huh. That!? Customer?

That's what I came into the room to say, Janice handsome......

"That! Kitagawa-kun!?

"... ah! Aoki,?

The identity of the young man staring at me as surprised was Aoki, an adventurer waiting for the reverse nan in front of the station, who traded a meeting card in the labyrinth that day.

"... what's Aoki!

While surprised, compare the two Aoki.

By comparison, although there was a difference in good-looking, it seemed that the face had something in common.

Could...?

"Oh, I'll introduce you. This is my older brother, Minoru."

"Nice to meet you! Hey Kitagawa-kun, it's been a while."

"Oh, it's been a while"

That's what I say, and I shake hands with Mr. Nutsu, who offers his hand with a flamboyant grin.

Then he whispered in his ear.

"... hey, I was worried. Holla, that's what happened to the labyrinth, isn't it? When I found out, I fell down at the dungeon mart. They also asked me about the circumstances... Kitagawa-kun, right?

"Ah, yes. Well... Aoki was diving that day, too."

"Yes, yes.... Actually, are you the one who did it?

"No way!"

When I shook my surprise face, he watched this one just to observe a little, but eventually he said, "Right!" He laughed and let go of his face.

"So what kind of gathering is this?

"Oh, Hola. Shoko's search quest."

Makuya's awkward words made Shin squeeze his face softly.

"Oh... well. … thank you for this time"

"No......"

and shook his head, remembering.

That's right. Mr. Nutsu should also be an adventurer with more than three stars......

"... By the way, Mr. Nutsu is also a three-star adventurer, isn't he? Why did you request Shoko's search? If you asked your brother, you wouldn't have had to pay the commission?

"Hmm? Oh, yeah. That makes you wonder. The reason is because I stopped my brother from trying to find him myself. 'Cause it's dangerous, isn't it?

"Dangerous?"

"Oh, 'cause Shoko, who has a bent, year-long career and a well-nurtured D-rank card, is missing, huh? Well, then something's going on. Plus, there's been a lot of strange disappearances in the F-rank labyrinth lately. Then you'll stop going. Because he's my brother."

"That's... yes, but..."

…………………………………………

Makuya leans down with a sinking face to Nu, who answers openly.

... In fact, Actually, you're right. It's the right calm for three stars. In terms of crisis aversion, how clever would it be than me?

But even if I were a junior, and I wonder if I would be too thin about my own brother's crisis with her.

Besides, now I'm curious that he was in the same labyrinth as me that day.

I know it's not a good idea to suspect too much, but I'm even starting to suspect that I traded Dragonet and Lycanslope.

... But now I also know why Makuya made the request.

If my brother, who is better than me, stops me for good reason, and besides, he can't count on me, I'll have to make a request.

"Well, I didn't hear anything strange."

"No......"

When the three of us bowed our heads, Makoto-ya forgave me exactly what I thought too.

Today, do you want to go home...

"Okay, I'm sorry, but now"

"Oh...... thank you for taking the time today"

"No."

After the room in the subtle air.

Around the front gate, silent as it was, the weave accidentally shrugged.

"That circle... looks like you have a connection to Mother Stars' party"

"What, why?

Surprise, Anna looking at the weave.

"Did you notice the painting was on the wall?

... Painting? Is that what happened? It was a mess and I didn't notice at all.

but if Anna remembers looking over when I did the room.

"Ahhh, something happened. A painting of a giant bigger than a mountain...... was it? Something cheap weird."

"Oh, this painting"

That said, the weave has shown the screen of the smartphone here.

There depicted black winged people flying countless times around the area on naked beauties bigger than the mountains… things that presumably seemed like fallen angels.

Sounds like some kind of religious painting...... is it a famous painting that comes out searching soon?

"This is a rumored oil painting that the Star Mother's Party sells well. In the Star Mother's Society, that Albino Virgin seems to be a half-born between a fallen angel card and a human mother, lying or sincere. I mean, modern Nephilim."

Nephilim is a giant born between a group of fallen angels, Grigori, and man, who appear in the Old Testament.

Grigori is a group of angels that originally means' watchers' and has the sad anecdote that on earth he stepped down to teach the art of civilization, but was boned by beautiful human daughters because he was a group of only men, like the boys' school students.

Having known lust and the woman's body, the grigories were told by God that they should not teach "the secrets of the universe" … they teach all sorts of poor knowledge, producing even the phrases that spread decadence on earth, the fallen angels and the sons of man, the Nephilims.

The Nephilims had a beautiful appearance but were 1,350 metres tall, had a fierce personality, and were monsters who gradually got their hands on food, let alone even ate together, on allowances.

As a result, this similarly furious God said, 'Ah, this is all I have left to reset!' And it floods heavily, washing away everything on earth, except some humans and animals.

This is the flood of the famous Noah.

But... I didn't know that Albino Virgin was set up as a fallen angel and a human half.

Naturally, I have yet to hear of a half-born between cards and humans and animals.

I guess it's impossible to have a child between a girl card and a handsome card because there are masters all over the world who act like a jerk and that doesn't make one or more children.

In other words, the assertion of the Star Mother's Society would be a lie, but I was curious as to why I dared choose Nephilim, the fallen angel and the half of man, not the Messiah such as Christ.

"It seems that this Nephilim painting will be recommended for purchase once it arrives at the Star Mother's Club. Well, that's a common story in cult religion. A bump? They're going to pay hundreds of thousands for one of these."

"Oh, my goodness."

Disappointed. I quit being a fan of the Virgin.

"But in college adventurer circles and so on, they're gradually becoming more and more organizations belonging to this Mother Star club"

"Huh? Why sss?

"They say the answer is because they can get generous support from the Star Mother's Society in connection with the labyrinth. They do a wide range of cards, magic equipment exchanges, expensive purchases, and instruction and lectures for unfamiliar newcomers."

... I see.

A place where you can trade cards with confidence is something you want so much that you can get your hands out of your throat for an adventurer.

It's not strange to buy one or two of the paintings or a membership card instead if you're going to get that cone.

... But I didn't know Shoko Sato's circle was connected to the Star Mother's Club.

What if... what if?

If a hound user was using the Star Mother's Club, wouldn't it be easy to get a roster of adventurer circles, etc. that were attending card exchange parties and rookie courses?

Get close to Adventurer Circle disguised as a card exchange and look for affordable prey......

You can also collect Gremlin cards, a one-stone two-bird measure.

An adventurer circle full of Enjoy forces also seems low risk and affordable to be fought back.

And the Aoki brothers. There were too many doubts to say complete white.

... would you just overthink it?

Decisions are an obstacle to the investigation.

While I thought so, my distrust of cult religion left a lump of suspicion in the corner of my head about the Star Mother's club.
