「It's not like I'm going to eat you or anything, such a rude child」

「I'm, I'm sorry... Wait, I'm the older one here, right......」

「Hmm?」

「N, No, it's nothing!!」

The Hero, Sakurada Mika, was now sitting in front of me. Looking at her face closely, I could say that she might have been quite popular in her class. Is this a flag for me? I'll take it, Mika-chan.

Since I have already told her about what I would like to know, the content of her story will determine how we will act in the future. Everything will be according my mood though.

「So, there's a couple of things I would like to ask, but...... are you really OK with this?」

「Well, I'm don't know if what I know will be helpful though. There's a limit to what I can answer, still I hope I can be helpful......」

「Really, you don't have to be so formal with me, you know. I would be glad if you do so since I'm not really that great of a person. Also, is it fine if I call you Mika-chan?」

「I, I understand. Fairy-san sure is really strong」

「I said no formalities. Oh well, first question is――」

There were many things that I asked which she could answer. First was the total number of Heroes, which is 34 people. It seems like the whole classroom was transferred during their summoning. It means that, counting out the two that I crushed in Galania beside her, there are still 31 more Heroes to fight.

「Ah, you see, I'm not alone. There were five others who separated from everyone else」

「Okay, that drops it to 26. By the way, there seems to be a Ranking System among them, but what Rank is Mika-chan?」

「......Sadly, I'm at the bottom of the ranks」

I was also thinking that it might have been so. Should I apologize for asking?

Next question, what is everyone doing right now. What she answered was that there were 16 heroes dispatched to different nations including Galania and there were 2 people assigned for each country, with the same purpose as we found out before. And because of that, there are 10 heroes remaining in Hallia. It will be a bit difficult to save that country for now.

「However, what's dangerous in Hallia is Asahina, who is the leader of the heroes, I think? There was a demon that the top 5 heroes couldn't defeat, but Asahina was able to stop it on his own.」

「Have you witnessed that event too?」

「Eh? Well, you see, I belong to the reserve guards so I didn't get involved with the fight...... I only heard of it after the fight was over and the demon king was finally defeated. Also since everyone else who joined the fight said the same, I believe it to be true」

Hmmmm...... Well, let's put that aside for now. We will not get more details unless it's someone who actually witnessed the fight after all.

「Do you know if there's anyone who would be able to know about what exactly happened?」

「Probably everyone who is in Hallia, since all those who know have a higher rank than the rest」

Now that's really suspicious. For the time being, I will be cautious of their actions. Yes, yes, now onto the next topic. I wanted to know about Holy Sword's characteristics, but she didn't really have a clear answer to give.

「It's not that I don't want to tell you. It's more like I don't really know about it. Asahina-kun did warn us not to speak with anyone about the characteristics of our weapons...... The only ones I know at the moment are mine and Goutani, the one that gave a 『Curse』 to Cielo-chan......」
