The night had deepened to a considerable degree so we shifted from the guild room to the aristocratic dormitory.
Midway, we had Karua return to the girls dormitory. Perhaps our discussion was difficult for her as she had started dodging off. I just hope she doesn't forget the details tomorrow. She wouldn't...right?
Hannah also returned back for today. Since she was taking Karua, I didn't need to worry much.
Coming to us, Sierra, Lana, Ester and I had come to the tea room, which was often used by students for tea parties and other recreational activities.
Originally, I had wanted to use the lounge but as it was the last day of summer vacation and a lot of students had wanted to rekindle their friendship, not a single one free.
The tea room, too, had been a last moment find as only this one was available.
"Well, now would you mind explaining about this?"
"This is an indispensable item needed to push you toward the advanced princess job path!"
At present, over the table, which normally would have stylish or elegant tea-set placed over it, were placed four shields of crude appearance.
They were small, round wooden shields. Classified into the small shield category, and the name was ?Infinite Shield?.
The small shields category includes shields like my ?Firmament Shield?, meanwhile kite-shields, like the one Sierra had, come into the big shield category.
Also, my ?Brave? limits me from equipping anything other than small shields. Ability-wise, small shields were the weakest in performance while two-handed were the meta.
This was also a reason behind Sierra's current skeptical expression. Lana also harbored the same face, while Ester appeared a bit stiff.
What's the matter with everyone?
"Haa. I mean, there's no reason to doubt your words after coming so far, but... how are you even privy to all this, huh?"
Sierra said, giving me a stern glare. Woah, this definitely was 9/10 stern glare!
"Not even the royal family has hold of more than a handful of high-ranking advanced jobs conditions......"
Ester wore a distressed expression as her one hand cupped her cheek, seemingly wanting to sigh at the situation.
Fuhaha, of course, there's but one answer to that.
"Because I'm the ?Brave?!"
"Haa...... It's really been a while since we're hearing the same reply......"
"Geez, you're really hopeless Zephyr. But fine, I will take this as truth."
"............"
Sierra heaved a long sigh and Lana replied in her typical tsundere-ish manner.
Ester seemed like she wanted to ask more in detail but ultimately swallowed her words.
The three then once again turned their focus to the condition of advanced jobs.
"Hey, that's fine and all but what about me, Zephyr?"
"Your turn will come next since we're short on time, Lana."
"Bummer, then it's just Sierra today?"
"Well, yes. I know you're also eager but have patient till tomorrow. I guess you can have a look at the process for today."
"Mmm......."
"—(Lana-sama, I believe having patience here is the sign of good wife.)"
"O-Oh, really? I-If you say so, then fine. I will just wait."
Woah, Lana actually backed down without insisting like usual. Typically, it would have gone like 'a little bit of explanation wouldn't hurt though!'. Lana is growing up huh. Though it seemed like Ester whispered something in her ears, I wonder what that was?
