It was the promised day.

After being seen off by the king and the others, we immediately made our way to the dungeon in the Tria Erial Mountains. Obviously, I fully used my array of my items to get us there in a flash. Then, I put down a magic room in front of the dungeon and started on the room allocations.

“How should we go about this? I can make individual rooms for everyone.”
“I would like to stay in the same room with you, Alim, Mika, but… will you be fine with that?” Karua, who knew what kind of relationship Mika and I had, asked, while nervously alternating gazes at us.

Even after we had told her that we were in truth 16 years old, our relationship hadn’t changed at all. That didn’t matter to us. She was likely just happy to be friends with us.

“Of course you can!” I told her.
“That’s fine~,” Mika added.
“Thank you ever so much!” Karua replied with a smile.

“I guess I’ll be taking a single room. What about you and your friends, Ruin?”
“We’ll… right. What should we do, Orgo?”

Tuhl would apparently use a single room. He did have the job of making a record, after all. He definitely didn’t stay by himself since he had a poor relationship with the others, or was somewhat shady¹.

Ruin, on the other hand, who’d been brought up in the conversation, alternated glances with Orgo.

“True, we’ll also take single… hm,” Orgo started saying before turning his head. He had apparently noticed Myuri’s strange gaze.

I wonder, what is she trying to urge him to do by looking at him so sweetly. Did they become more than childhood friends while I wasn’t looking, after all…?

“We’ll be going with double rooms, Alim.”
“That means one room for Mr. Ruin and Mr. Orgo, and one for Miss Lilo and Miss Myuri? I can add as many partitions as needed to the magic room, so you could each use single rooms, if you want.”

At my question laced with feigned innocence, Orgo, Myuri, and Lilo choked on their words. Among them, only Ruin managed a reply.

“Obviously, it will be Orgo and me. If you ask me, since the training is starting today, it will be better that way, so us swordsmen and the girls who both use magic can discuss things and reflect on what happened.”
“I see~, you do have a point,” Lilo commented.

Myuri, Lilo, and Orgo showed expressions of relief.

At this point… should I add something? Like “you guys started dating, didn’t you~?”.
No, let’s not. Mika and I have been teased about our relationship since forever, to the point where it reached weird forms. Doing the same to them would be despicable.

“Alright, then. I will prepare the rooms later. Next will be about your party. Is it alright if Tuhl and Karua are added to Seinforce?” I asked in a serious tone, ceasing to pry into their relationships.

However, Karua looked confused.

“Uhm… what about you and Mika, Alim?”

Right, I’d been waiting for that question.

“We won’t fight with you! All we’ll do is teach you the method to get strong!” I announced.

If I were to help them, things would be over in a flash. It probably wouldn’t even take a day for them to reach the level cap.

“…I was thinkin’ of askin’ that,” Orgo murmured after raising his hand. “In the end, unless we get stronger on our own, it won’t mean a thing.”

Everyone agreed with that.
That’s great, no issues at all.

“Heh-heh-heh~, I see you get it! Let’s take care of everyone’s party registration first.”

I took out a device used for adventurer registrations I had prepared in advance from my magic bag.

Incidentally, these things were apparently supreme grade. A device capable of linking the status screens of people was supreme grade, while toilet paper that never ran out was legend grade. Once more, I just didn’t get this world².

In a flash, we completed Karua’s and Tuhl’s adventurer registration and added them to Seinforce. For the time being, I made them temporary adventurer cards.

Then came the equipment.

“Now… about the weapons and armor for Mr. Tuhl and Karua; although the swords are the same Ruin and Orgo use! Here you go.”

I handed them iron swords that also contained high quality mithril. The armor was on similar level.

…Well, on the off chance that something truly dangerous happened, I added functions that would raise their defense and restorative power tremendously, so I wasn’t worried. I had also updated the equipment of the four original members of Seinforce with stuff like that yesterday.

“I am done putting the equipment on!”
“Same here.”
“We’re also ready.”

The three Mephilad siblings announced their readiness.

“Great… then let’s dive into the dungeon for the first time!”

1. Again, I’m not sure if this is meant to be sarcastic.
2. Well, one of those violates the conservation of mass while the other doesn’t. Though I guess that’s not a good metric in a world with magic.
