Chapter 227.2. The Orienteering Begins!

-Miu’s POV-

“Shall we end the camping around here?”

“Nah, we need to do wilderness training in dangerous areas, so let’s go deeper! We’ll take on any monsters we encounter head-on!”

“Oh, you’re seriously planning to do orienteering. Got it. In that case, Mii-chan will take the lead. Let’s go!”

“Yeah, let’s go!”

With one hand raised, Mii-chan let out a small hop and a rallying cry.

One by one, everyone entered the forest. Lush vegetation and towering trees stretched out, and the sunlight filtered through the branches, creating a fantastical atmosphere on the ground.

This orienteering event followed the standard template.

We formed teams and ventured into the mountains, defeating monsters along the way and setting up camps. Our seniors accompanied us as guards to provide wilderness training.

It might not be the usual training for first-year middle school students, but in the world of swords, magic, and magic academies like in the Night of Magic, it’s just the norm.

This situation is common in other isekai s too. Generally, the weak mob encounters a strong monster for some reason and finds themselves in a pinch.

Then, the protagonist comes to the rescue, as always.

Mii-chan’s team consisted of Yamiyo, Tamamo, Hoku-chan, Sei-chan, and Nan-chan, a six members team. The guard were Kohaku Suzu and several other seniors.

In reality, this is more like requesting an assassination attempt, so there are actually adventurers hired by the instructors to monitor the situation within the forest.

After all, it would be disastrous if any nobles were injured. On second thought, I can see that this training template often found in s, and such puts the instructors at risk.

When I think about it, even with a few instructors accompanying as guards, they couldn’t provide sufficient backup, so nobles getting injured by monsters are bound to happen. It could lead to liability issues, and they could even be physically beheaded.

In fact, even the antagonistic instructor trying to harass the protagonist is also risking their life. I walked on, admiring this realization with nods.

“Mii-sama, are you okay?”

The ground was covered with tree roots and tangled grass, making it difficult to walk.

Mii-chan still hasn’t chosen -Fight- yet, so her physical abilities won’t improve. Yamiyo asked with a worried expression.

“Yeah, I’m fine, but everyone’s so fast.”

“We’re training to enhance physical abilities without consuming mana, so we’re doing our best to run like ‘Tetete’.”

Tamamo walked lightly between the trees. From Mii-chan’s perspective, it seemed like she was flying. How envy-inducing.

“It’s strange. Why can’t Mii-chan activate the magic armor except during battles?”

“Hmm, maybe it’s become a habit. I only get serious in battles, like ‘I’ll only go all out in combat.’ I think it’s something like Yips.”

As Suzu, who was walking behind, caught up and asked curiously, Mii-chan casually tried to brush it off.

“Yips? Wasn’t that when something you’re bad at turns into trauma?”

“Is that so?”

“Even though it seems like just an excuse, if you take it seriously, you’ll end up in pain.”

“I think that’s just a case of rumors.”

I grinned, and stuck my tongue slightly, thinking I might have been too casual.

With a relaxed expression, Suzu transformed her mouth like a cat’s mouth, signaling she would stop digging and continue walking.

Nyan-nyan, humming and bouncing with cute little steps, the cat-girl’s presence is so soothing. Cat girls always have that effect, don’t they?

I know the original Suzu, who had short hair and was like a ruthless and tyrannical military girl. She used her strength to control the student council and ruled the academy with fear. The source of this content is _Fire

However, looking at the current Suzu, that development no longer exists.

She quickly grasped Takano County’s intentions and approached us with a proposal to form a capital alliance and joint research, taking note of Ulhara’s technological expertise. Thus, Kohaku Viscount’s Cat Kitten Company was reborn.

Therefore, the original story’s family was on the verge of decline, and the trading company was on the brink of bankruptcy. So, the girl with a stern personality trying to rebuild them is nowhere to be found here.

A relaxed and gentle Suzu is much better.

I’m glad to be friends with her and have the opportunity to break away from the original story.

“Now then, even if we’re heading deeper, where are we aiming for?”

While moving her bangle-type terminal and checking the map, Yamiyo asks.

“Where is Se-chan’s team heading?”

Sena, Nini, Shin, Tsuki, Elizabeth, and Masaoshi are in 1 team. Honestly, it’s quite an unexpected combination, especially since Sena seems to dislike Shin.

“Well, they’re moving pretty fast. It seems they’re heading for Kofu.”

“Are they also aiming for the mining dungeon?”

“What about the other teams?”

“Most of the teams seem to be moving similarly. Gold Golems are wandering in the mountains of Kofu, and although they’re weak enemies despite their high-quality magic stones, they’re an attractive target.”

“I heard rumors about something like that. Golems in the mining dungeon. They’re planning to defeat them.”

“I see. So, that’s the rumor going around. In that case, let’s head for the mining dungeon as well!”

If that’s the case, we might need to chase after them. The rumors have an unsettling feel to them.

I might have to participate if there’s a typical event like that.

Mii-chan is like air, so it wouldn’t be strange for her to join.

I’m prepared to cry if I’m left out.

Don’t worry. Mii-chan will probably get ignored anyway. Even if she joins, no one might notice.

“In that case, I’m tired, so I’ll summon something.”

If I plan to chase after them, I can’t leisurely walk anymore. I’m already tired.

So, I wave my hand, and with a “Hunsh,” taking a deep breath, I call out in a cute voice.

“Come, Guu-chan!”

As the magic activates and the magic circle appears, a flash of light shines, and a Griffon appears before us.
