Two months have passed since the incident between Deacon Franz and Mary. …… And rumors are beginning to emerge among neighbors that “a ghost-like creature is nesting in the Lordless Church.

Al also overheard the gossip,…… But unlike the quest, he knows, there are two dead spirits. A male and female set.

The neighbors are whispering, ‘That must be Deacon Franz and Mary.

‘ (Did Mary also die with a grudge? She was just barely enough to be called a mage ……, but…she was also familiar with magic. She probably had a better predisposition to become a necromancer than the average person.)

Al checks the church’s desolation and the mana of the dead spirits that are dwelling inside.

It is now a distant memory of a previous life, but it is not yet as desolate as it was during the game’s quest … but he sees that the start of the main story is near.

Al was thinking of judging whether there would be an opening event when he entered the academy.

The time of admission to the academy is twice a year.

Even if this time is not the start of the main event, he intends to check the presence or absence of the event every time during his enrollment period at the institute.

Although formal admission to the academy is still some way off, the procedures themselves have begun, and the dormitories have been opened. However, students are required to pay for using the dormitory and meals for the number of days. For those who are officially enrolled in the institute, these expenses are usually covered by the government only for the regular grade. In other words, free of charge.

However, it is also customary for the great and old noble families to drop large sums of money into the academy by raising the grade according to their respective titles and family history.

On the contrary, those of royal families, depending on the person, sometimes dare to choose the same normal grade as other noble families.

Al plans to enter the dormitory in advance, even if it costs a little money, and wait for the main character while observing those enrolled at the institute. He quickly completes the procedures for admission and boarding.

In the game …… In Al’s memory of his previous life, the protagonists are supposed to appear at the institute at a time when the procedures for enrollment and dormitory entry are busy.

The viewpoint differs depending on the gender of the protagonist, but the content of the opening event itself is the same.

The main hall is crowded with those going through the procedures. The protagonist is in a quarrel with the third prince.

Since the incident with Deacon Franz, Al has been observing more and more those who would be enrolled in the institute and those who are associated with the nobility who hang around the popular areas. It was the same after he entered the dormitory.

Zaru (笊, ざる) is a draining basket made from bamboo used in the preparation and presentation of Japanese cuisine. It can be used in a similar fashion to a sieve or colander, both of which are common in western cooking. Additionally, well-designed zaru are used to present food directly, as for example zarusoba.
