Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend Chapter 19

The next day, human waves ford by our fellow students, teachers, and others people greet and Mazell when we arrived at the academy.

As we try to get past those waves, I started to think about yesterday. Before we left the palace, we had a brief conversation with Princess Laura. We talked about our life in the academy and Laura listened and laughed with us. This playful Laura is the real Laura I saw in the ga.

If only Mazell didnt spill my embarrassing stories. I know that I did plenty of pranks despite being a noble but still

Anyway, Its good that we only talked about academys stuff, no talk about arranging Mazell or my marriage to the royal family.

Lets leave yesterdays matter aside, and focus on the current problem. There are only a few students that participated in the battle against the demon outbreak. Most students that surrounded us probably heard the news from their fathers.

Thats why they are here. I an, the rising star of commoners, Mazell, and the most promoted young noble, , are bound to be a hot topic. I think so of them might even be told by their parent to pry so information out of us.

We need to do this until the class start.?

Yeah. This is the first ti Im looking forward to class start.

Its still morning but Mazell and I are already tired. This is harder than speaking to Laura.

I already told Mazell to refuse all invitations to tea parties. You never know what those nobles will put on Mazells tea. Poison or even aphrodisiac. You can never let your guard down around noblewon.

No, not only noblewon. Letting your guard down around all nobles is dangerous. Most of them are educated to do anything for themselves and their families

Ah, right. Welner.

What is it?

Its not a good thing to whisper during class but if we dont do this we wont have any ti to talk.

I want you to et my acquaintance.

Your acquaintance?

Yeah. The one that helped in the demon outbreak.

Ah, thats right. the hero partys first mber. I know who hes talking about.

Sure. But why do you want to et that person?

Because I think that person can help us.

Well, that person is going to be a mber of the hero party. Mazell decision to introduce that person to , the bridge that connects Mazell to the royal family is right.

I dont have any reason to refuse.

Ok. I also have sothing to tell you.

About that?

The matter of the demon kings revival is still a secret. We both have no choice but to refer to it as that in case soone is eavesdropping.

The eting with Mazells acquaintance benefits as well since I can finish one of many jobs I have to do.

Ah, the bell rung.

Alright. Lets run.

First thing first, we need to escape the waves of students. Weve used the schoolyard before, so going there is a no. As for the library, we wont be able to escape if we got cornered there so its another no. Rooftop is definitely no. Hm The indoor sword training hall would be a good choice. The training hall is connected to the hallway so we can escape using the hallway if we need to.

After a short strategic eting, we both run. I chuckled because it remind of the ti I got scolded for running in the hallway in my past life. The montum of the classmates that chased is actually scarier than demons.

In the end, we ended up having to do this for the next few days. Maybe it would be better if I just called in sick and stayed at ho. Though, Mazell is going to have to handle the commotion himself. As expected of the academy that is said to be the miniature of nobles society.

Im Luguents. Nice to et you.

As expected, its Luguentz Lazer. According to the ga, he should have been in his mid-twenties.

Sitting in the bar, he looked exactly how an adventurer is. As for , Im not wearing a uniform, but I think I still look like a student.

Is this what they call traveling incognito? In my case, its more of I just still didnt feel like a noble rather than traveling incognito.

For now, Lets focus on Luguentz. In the ga, I rembered he was like a reliable senior to Mazell. Ah no, not Mazell, but the gas main character. he doesnt appear in many events though.

He has [Master of Weapons] skills. Thanks to it, its not on the sa level as the hero but still, his physical attacks are strong. He is what you call a warrior archetype that has no magic.

He joined the hero party from the first boss battle and remained until the ga ending. Despite not being a cute girl hes still popular. If Im not wrong, his voice actress has a raspy voice.

I am Welner. Pleased to et you.

Oh

When I bowed lightly, Luguentz seem surprised. Right. Hes this kind of character.

Not long after he laughed with an expression that seem to say Mazell is right about you.

Right?

Yeah. Just like you said, Mazell, he is noble but strangely humble.

This is why I introduce myself as just Welner, not by my full na. Showing off Im a noble in font of Luguentz isnt a good decision.

I judged that Introducing myself as Mazells friend without being too humble or too arrogant is the best way to interact with him. This personality of his is the reason why he got along with Laura. Though Laura is also a strange royal.

Actually, Ive heard about you. But eting you in person sure is different.

Youve heard about ?

My friend, Gekke, told that youre an excellent spearman.

Ah, Oliver Gekke-san. We didnt talk much, but I rember he was an excellent platoon commander. My father gave him a special reward as well.

I never expected him and Luguentz to know each other. I guess since hes a rcenary and Luguentz is an adventurer its not that strange.

Mazell said he wants to et you thats why Im here, but your intention is not only to et right?

After ordering drinks, Luguentz asked . Hes sharp.

A rcenary and an adventurer can keep secrets right?

Of course.

Luguentz responded with a tone that seem to say isnt that obvious

It seems like the demon king will be revived.

He choked on his drink. Well, thats an obvious reaction.

Isnt your joke going a bit too far?

Well, its not a joke.

Mazell answered him before . Then, Luguentz looked at with a serious expression.

If its not a joke, why are you saying it here? Luguentz asks with a low voice.

I can imagine Mazell thinking the sa thing. I think its only a matter of ti before the public finds out, so I want to make so preparation.

To a certain extent, this place can be said as a perfect place for a secret conversion. With how loud the place is, you really need to work hard to hear the conversation at other tables, otherwise, its impossible.

Its better than inviting an adventurer like Luguentz to a nobles mansion. As a mber of the hero party, I believe that Luguentz is also trustworthy enough to keep a secret.

Its not a matter that I want to announce, but its going to be revealed anyway. I want to make so preparation before the matter becos public.

Mazell is right. You dont feel like a student.

Mazell, just what sort of thing did you tell him? I looked in Mazells direction and he avoided my eyes. This guy must have told him so ridiculous thing.

So, what do you want to do?
