After having breakfast, I met up Lara in front of the house and headed to church together.
I thought it would be dangerous for two children. But there are hardly any demons in the village, and since it’s a remote village. There are no abnormalities, and since it’s pretty peaceful itself. There seems to be no problem.
It’s also because my parents trust me.
「Fu fu fu, I’m going out with Sirius-Kun.」
Lara happily walks around while humming a tune.
pleasant
「Ah! Sirius! Have you read 『The Nekoko’s House?』 」
「I read it! Nekoko was so cute!」
「I know right, Nekoko is cute! I like Mokoko too!」
Nekoko is a cat-like demon, and Mokoko is a sheep-like demon. Both of them have almost no fighting power and are usually pets or livestock.

While we were talking about it, we arrived at the church, and the priest took us to one of the church classrooms.
There were about 20 kids in the classroom they took me to. Ages of six to ten years old were grouped. Apparently, with their desks attached based on grade level.
When we were seated on the “empty island” while waiting for other children, the seats got filled up with children who had gathered one by one.
「Well, kids, we have a new friend who will be starting church today, and I hope you’ll make friends with him, so let’s start with the new kids and introduce yourselves, starting with Mr. Luke」
「It’s Luke! My future dream is to be an adventurer, thank you!」
He is a handsome blond man.
She’s got a dazzling smile.
「I’m Grace, and I want to be an adventurer too, nice to meet you!」
The red-haired, feisty-looking girl.
I mean an adventurer is a popular profession, I guess.
「I’m Logan. I guess someday I’ll take over the family farm.」
Dark blue hair, expressionless muscles.
Maybe it’s because he’s helping out on the family ranch, but he’s pretty toned.
「Chloe. A sorcerer. Nice to meet you.」
She’s a hunchbacked girl with light purple hair.
You look really sleepy. I mean, you from the moment you sit down after the introduction.
「I’m Sirius, I haven’t thought about the future yet, but I hope to be able to help my parents hunt soon. I’m looking forward to working with you.」
Thanks to the current trend of talking about the future, I’m a little embarrassed that I wasn’t thinking about the future at all! Isn’t it a bit too good to be true that everyone at your age is thinking about the future?
「Oh, I’m Lara… well, I want to be a healer in the future! Thanks for having me!」
Lara wanted to become part of a medical team， huh… She’s a sweet girl.
Unlike magic, the Bureau of Medical has a monopoly on the art form, and learning it requires permission from the Bureau of Medical. Because it requires a great deal of study and training to get approval, apparently there aren’t enough people in demand, even though the market is fantastic!
The upperclassmen also introduced themselves briefly, and then the sisters began to talk to each other in the groups. The sisters seem to be like homeroom teachers in modern times.
The sister who came to our group was a blue-haired woman in her late teens.
「I’m Liane. Nice to meet you all. I’d like you to discuss among yourselves and decide on a class representative. The class representative will report on behalf of the class and communicate with the council. Please consult with each other before imposing the task on someone else.」
I’m more of a liaison than a committee chair.
Maybe it’s to foster a sense of responsibility and solidarity.
「Well, what do I do? Is there anyone else who wants to do it first? And sorry, Grace, can you wake up Chloe for me?」
The handsome guy begins to put together the place.
Isn’t this handsome guy the best nominee for a representative of the class?
「Hmm … I can be anyone but me …」
Chloe looked too sleepy and unmotivated.
「I’m not much of a talker, so I don’t think I’d want to do much, not that I want to impose, but I feel like Luke is good at that sort of thing.」
Well, I think I’m going to choose Sirius…
「Whaaaa? Lara, what are you talking about?」
I don’t think these things are different from what I, an adult, do.
So I turned the flow to the handsome man accordingly.
「Uh, I think Luke is suitable. He seems to be good at getting people’s opinions out and organizing them.」
「Hmmm, I don’t really care who it is either, to be honest.」
「I’m not very good at organizing people, am I? I think Sirius would be a better fit for you, don’t you?」
The handsome man grinned and said something like that.
This guy is so funny.
「……..I think it would be useful for you to organize people for when you become an adventurer and form a party in the future.」
「Indeed! When you say that, it makes me want to do it…!」
「So, I guess the representative is Mr. Luke, right, is there any objection?」
「Yeah, that’s good.」
「It’s okay.」
「I don’t mind.」
「Yeah?」
I’ll make sure Lara is aware of that.
「Huh, I think I’m good too…」
「I guess it’s settled then, so let’s just read the Bible for a bit today, and then we’ll wrap it up」
The Bible was primarily a story about the goddess Artemisia.
Artemisia gave birth to Lumiera, the Military of Light, and Ignias, the Military of Fire, which brought light to the world.
The source of magic is said to be in Artemisia, a very major myth in this world, and I read about it at the beginning of a witchcraft instruction book.
Liane read the Bible to us for about an hour, and since it was the first day, we were home before noon!
