If this situation had to be directly concluded, Soma and the group basically decided to go to Lumberg together with Sheila.
As they were thinking of various things, their decision was comprehensive, but the decisive factor was probably the suggestion from Sheila.
As for going to the ancient ruin together⌠No, to be precise, the most important thing was the purpose to go there.
And that wasâŚ
âHmm⌠Anyhow, it is an ancient ruin, huh?â (Soma)
Soma muttered alone while remembering that time.
What he was looking up until now wasnât at the ceiling of the guild branch.
In this town, there were few inns, and he was looking at the ceiling of the room inside one of it.
âSheila-san was saying that if you use something that is sleeping within the ancient ruin, people who canât use magic may be able to use it.â (Lina)
âWell, indeed, I often listen to the story that the magic was advanced in the past. It wonât be strange if there is such a thing as a part of the story⌠after all, I canât really deny it.â (Aina)
When he turned to the voice, there were Aina and Lina, who were sitting on the chairs available in the room.
Of course, they were staying in a different room, but in order to finalize the decision, they were gathered in Somaâs room.
In fact, they were there after leaving the guild and it was about thirty minutes had passed.
They agreed with the plan⌠In other words, they were going to Lumberg, and they accepted Sheilaâs suggestion to go the ancient ruin which seemed to be nearby.
âWell, it is certainly a suspicious story, but if it is, I think Doris would have stopped it.â (Soma)
Although they had decided, those three were discussing whether there was a proper meaning.
As time went by and by changing the place, they might be able to find problems that they had overlooked.
Of course, there were also things that they couldnât see, but it was more important to discuss it.
For the time being, Soma was the one who decide everything, but eventually, it should be their collective decisions.
At least, it was necessary to balance the extent of what they were thinking about each other.
Otherwise, there was no meaning to travel with three people.
Anyhow, Soma shrugged as he said so.
The reason why Soma accepted it was because he thought about Doris and it was better than not having any clue at all.
Even that had become a decision, they basically didnât have any other clue.
ââŚWell, for the time being, it is true that she doesnât mean to deceive us. Even though I feel suspicious in the story, I didnât feel that she was lying, and⌠In the first place, the Elves isnât suppose to lie.â (Aina)
âEh, is that so?â (Lina)
âDonât you know that? The Elves has high compatibility with magic, but that is thanks to the contract with the higher Spirits, so they canât lie⌠Well, thatâs according to the story I have heard of.â (Aina)
âHmmm⌠It is my first time to hear this, but even if that is true, it is somewhat doubtful whether it applies to Sheila.â (Soma)
âAh⌠indeed, it might be so.â (Aina)
It was true that the Elves had high compatibility with magic.
Compared to other races, what was mostly heard was they had higher ratio of magic skill holders at least at Intermediate Rank, and some of them were having Advanced Rank.
If that was the characteristic of the race, it couldnât be helped but to agree to it⌠However, if there was an intervention from the Spirits, it was certainly more convincing.
However, in that situation where a person didnât receive the blessing, a question arose whether they would be given with compensation.
Anyhow, although the Elves excelled in magic, Sheila didnât really have talent in magic. In fact, she couldnât even learn Low Rank magic skill.
That was why even if the lineage of Elves couldnât lie, Soma was saying that Sheila might be an exception.
âWell, even if I say that much, it is also unavoidable. We will also take that matter of lying into account for the time being.â (Soma)

Even so, he judged it was still better than having no clue.
However, as for Soma, he thought that she probably wouldnât lie.
âWell, I also think that she didnât lie. It felt like she was appealing from the bottom of the heart.â (Lina)
âWanting to use magic⌠I think I have heard that line somewhere, right?â (Aina)
Accordingly, Soma shrugged his shoulders. While he pitied her, he was aware that his judgment was also because of that.
Nonetheless, Aina didnât say anything directly because as she had said earlier, she didnât feel that Sheila was lying.
And Soma agreed with Aina also pitied her. (Redundant?)
At least Sheila was truly wishing for it, and for that reason, there was no doubt that they would go to the ancient ruins.
ââŚWell, even though I believe that she didnât lying. However, I have one thing that I donât really understand. Sheila-san is a better swordsman than I am, isnât that good enough for her?â (Lina)
âI feel like I understand that for a bit, but⌠Soma wants to use magic just because you want to use it, right?â (Aina)
âWell⌠you are right. I have no other reason.â (Soma)
âBut Sheila is probably not like you. It is just my imagination, but whether she is an excellent swordsman or not, that is another story. I think she wants to use magic because she is an Elf⌠or maybe because it is inconvenient.â (Aina)
âHmmâŚâ (Soma)
Although the Elves were good with magic, on the other hand, they were not good on other things.
Hence, an Elven swordsman was a very rare existence.
However, that fact itself wasnât really a problem.
Sheila wanted to use magic even if it wasnât that much.
According to a story, the Elves were dependent on magic for their living.
Assuming that they could use magic even at the lowest level which was the Low Rank skills, the infrastructure of their life was already prepared.
However, since that level was only a rumor, there was also a possibility that the real situation would be different.
To begin with, the existence of the Elves themselves was unusual. Therefore, their real situation wasnât well understood.
This was related on how small their population. In addition, the Elves were originally from the forest, and they were almost never come out.
Although there were mixed races living in this country, there was also rumor that not even one of them could be found in the capital city.
Hence, there were many things related to the Elves were not well understood.
Because of that, the Elves were often targeted.
Other than that, they were also aimed because of good looks, and it was actually normal to say that.
Rather than hiding the face only, Sheila covered the whole body may be because of that reason.
Soma wasnât sure how the information about her leaked would, but if it was Sheila, they probably had to exclude her strength if she became their comrade, but it was better if it would be less troublesome.
âAs for the detailed information, there will be times when we are going to talk about it when she stays with us. However, I am not sure how long we will be together.â (Soma)
âEventually, it depend on that ancient ruin or something⌠and we can talk about that details later.â (Aina)
âIt is dubious as expected, but⌠are we confident enough?â (Lina)
âAre you asking because you are cautious? âŚWell, that would be little by little.â (Soma)
âYeah⌠Anyhow, it will take one week to go there. There will opportunities to talk about various matters.â (Aina)
âAlthough it is important, I would like to talk to each other and make friends with herâŚâ (Lina)
âThat is up to her, of course.â (Soma)
Well, in a sense, Sheila didnât talk a lot, but these guys didnât think of it as something unpleasant.
If the situation earlier didnât happen, they wouldnât be invited to go to the ancient ruin.
Their conversation gradually became mixed at the end of it, and they wondered whether Sheila wasnât the type of shy person.
If it was so, there would be times when she could speak normally.
AnyhowâŚ
âSo, there is no objection that we are going to the ancient ruin, right?â (Soma)
âYeah⌠itâs not like we are going to any other places.â (Aina)
âI also have no objection.â (Lina)
In that way, there was no change in their decision, and the discussion on that day was over.
