Chapter 116: Homecoming

"Aaahhhh! we’re finally home!”

As expected, a long journey of two weeks is tiring.

"I'm tired.”

After another two-week long journey, we finally came back to the Kingdom of Lingalia. I'm stressed out because I haven't been able to move around much in the past two weeks.

“Then, let's head to the grounds!”

""Oh~""

The headmaster's call was met with a slightly unenthusiastic response from the members of our team. Most of us students are probably not used to going on long trips, so we probably want to go home first. However, we had to go back to the school and report the results of the competition to all the students. I'm sure everyone already knows the results, but there's a point to us reporting the results in person.

"””Congratulations on your victory ！！！！."””

"Do we still have to report the results......?"

"...I guess not."

"Nn..."

As soon as we passed through the school gate, we heard loud cheers from the whole school.

“We've won!”

"'Waaaahhh!!!'"

And when the headmaster said that with a shout, the cheers of the whole school around him also became louder.

''Huuh...''

"This is... troublesome."

”..."

We sneaked out of the carriage, but I could hear a lot of voices around me, as if they were looking for the three of us. The three of us have stealth and covert, so we've been able to avoid detection. However, the other participants who were found were being lifted up and looked like they were in trouble.

“Oh, there you are!”

“Hmm?”

“Thank you for the tournament.”

“Oh, thanks.”

There you are! When I heard that, I panicked thinking I was found but It was Claudia who found us.

“Ah, um... when you stare so much…”

"... Zero-niisama?"

“Zeros?”

“Oh, no! I’m Sorry.”

I've been away from Claudia for a long time, but I felt like I'd met her somewhere recently and couldn't help but stare at her. I'm sorry.

"Heal and refresh!"

“Whoa.”

“Nn?”

“Oh.”

“I knew you'd all be tired from your long journey, so I cast a spell to recover you from fatigue.”

“Thanks.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you...”

“No, no!”

As usual, Claudia is a good person. Huh? I'm not sure if there's any such thing as fatigue recovery in recovery magic. What kind of magic was that?

“I don’t want to hold you up too long, so I'll be going now.”

“See you later.”

“Thank you very much.”

“Bye."

Then Claudia ran off with a trot.

“Shall we go home too?”

“Yes.”

"Yes."

The headmaster was still excited, but we were told that we could disperse when we reached the grounds, so we decided to leave. 

When I returned to my home after a long absence, Mother, Brother Andre and Brother Judson were at home and they praised us for our performance in the school battle.

 Mother told me that Father was having some problems in the territory, so he couldn't come to the capital, but he praised us. I had dinner with the rest of the family, except for Sophie, for the first time in a long while, and slept well that day.

By the way, tomorrow I’ll report the result to the King. And the day after tomorrow, I’ll report to the school that I’ll only be attending school for tests. 

After that, I can finally concentrate solely on being an adventurer! For that reason, I'll do my best to report to the king tomorrow.

“I'm glad to see you've gotten the very first win of the Kingdom of Lingalia in the school tournament.”

""Thank you very much.""

The guild chief reported the results in the royal castle.

“As a reward, Jumper Carlello, Tucker, Liesel, Amy Estill, Markel Dawkins and the others will receive an item of their choice from the Third Treasure Vault.”

「「「「「 Thank you for your kindness 」」」」」

And it seems that as a reward for their first win, each participating member will receive an item of their choice from the treasure vault.

“And as a reward to Watts Colekin and Salona Venus for their participation in the representatives round, they will receive two items of their choice from the third treasure vault.”

"Thank you for your kindness."

Incidentally, though we knew we were going to get a reward. Until now, it seems they never bothered to report in the royal castle. But this is the first time we've won, so they're doing this. But of course, the next time the kingdom wins, they won't be doing this.

"As a reward, Shana Lingalia, who participated in the representative match and did not lose against the foreign students, will receive an item of her choice from the Second Treasure vault."

"Thank you for your kindness."

And the reward given is said to equal the amount of the person's success. Not all the rewards are equal.

“Solfia Adolfo and Zeros Adolfo, who participated in the representatives round and pulled everyone as deputy leader and leader without losing to foreign students, will be rewarded with two favorite items from the second treasure vault.”

"Thank you for your kindness."

In addition, the school director(headmaster) and other school officials, as well as the knights who came along as guards, will receive money.

By the way, Shana told me that in the third treasure vault, there are rare items that can be obtained only several times a year and in the second treasure vault, there are items that can be obtained once every few years, as well as the top-class rare items in this country, depending on who uses them. The first treasury is the one I'm most interested in, but Shana hasn't been told what's in it.

“I'll show you there.”

And then the king personally took us there. The reason for this is that the treasure vault is made in such a way that only the king can open it. I wondered what kind of structure it was.

"...I expecting you to pull it off."

"Eh...?"

And when the king passed by, he said something. The only thing I could hear was the last part, "I'm expecting you. What on earth is he expecting from me?
