"Ah, Hannah-sama, it's Hannah-sama!"
"Ah, she's as deadly adorable as ever."
"Sumr clothing looks so cute on Hannah-sana.:
"What an auspicious day it is to chance upon the Hannah-sama in holiday."
What the heck is all that?
I closed my eyes and ears in disbelief, squeezed my temple briefly, removed all thoughts from my head and then once again looked forward.
"Where will Hannah-san head from here?"
"It should be an alchemist room, I guess? I wonder if the facilities can be used on Saturday as well?"
"No matter how long I look, Hannah-sama in her alchemist clothes is really a feast for eyes......Hnn, I have learned sothing new. I guess I will cancel today's plan and look around here."
"I, I also want to go along."
Sothing is strange here.
The situation is the sa as before. I run my gaze around, and it's still full of girls.
Furthermore, all those girls seem to be noble ladies from sowhere. Everyone seems to have one hand on their cheeks, letting out an 'o-ho-ho' smile.
No wait, I don't know if 'ohoho' is peculiar to noble ladies.
Anyway, at the end of their gaze, the topic of their subject, a lone girl could be seen leisurely walking.
I also know her very well, she's a mber of ‹Eden›, the only one having a production job, and also my childhood friend, who looks kind of younger than other girls of the sa age. She was Hannah.
Academy uniform has gone through seasonal change as it was June. She was dressed in a sumr outfit that revealed her healthy skin here and there.
Today is saturday, the day for the appointed guild battle.
It is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. That ans we have ti until 4 p.m.
So, we decided to gather at the guild in the afternoon, allowing everyone to spend the morning as they please.
As for , I had so things I wanted to prepare, and just when I was planning to go shopping, It suddenly occurred to I could invite others as well and talked with Hannah, and that's how we decided to go shopping together.
I was a bit worried about Hannah since she is the only one in a different departnt, and this was just a perfect opportunity.
So far, so good.
The problem starts from here.
I went to pick up Hannah at the girls' dormitory.
It started when Hannah ca out from a slightly larger and kind of luxurious girls' dormitory.
By the way, the dormitories have several grades.
—Noble dormitory where the children of the noble primarily live.
—The commoners use boys' and girls' dormitories.
—And then there are the slightly wealthier rchant children and other well-off commoners who live in slightly higher-ranked, fortunate boys' and fortunate girls' dormitories (I don't know why they're called "fortunate" though).
These slightly higher-ranked fortunate boys' and fortunate girls' dormitories are completely private rooms, and the living conditions are better than the regular boys' and girls' dormitories.
The als are luxurious, the rooms are spacious, they are all single rooms, and the facilities are well-equipped.
And it was from such a place that Hannah erged.
As for how it ca to this, In fact, it was the service for Hannah from the academy for being selected as the first-year representative back on May 2nd. As a reward, she was given the privilege to use this slightly higher-ranked fortunate girls' dormitory. In other words, she moved residence.
Hannah herself said, "There's a huge personal storage space where I can put items and things. This way, I don't have to clutter my room anymore!" with an endearing look on her face.
I seriously prayed for that warehouse to not turn into a pandora box.
Well, so far, everything was up to my understanding. Hannah moved to a dormitory for slightly fortunate kids.
The problem, however, was------
"I overheard the news. Hannah-sama is going to participate in a guild battle ‹Duel Battle› today."
"What did you say! Is that true!?"
"Oh god! I must hurry up and buy my seat in the arena! I hope the ticket hasn't been sold completely yet!"
Just with Hannha's stride, the young ladies, apparently residents of the fortunate girl's dormitory in this area, have their excitent ter hit the ceiling.
What in the world has Hannah done?
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Zephyr-kun~ Good morning~"
Whether she has noticed the enthusiasm of people around or not, She called out to , wrapped in an air of nonchalant. She probably hasn't noticed them. My intuition as her childhood friend is telling so.
Anyway, I greeted her in return.
"Hmm, it’s alright, I have also just arrived. And good morning."
The gazes of all the noble girls turned to our direction within a heartbeat. I could feel myself sweating a bit.
Their gazes were as if they were evaluating a product. However------
"Ah, is that Brave-sama?"
"Really! It's Brave Zephyr-sama!"
"B, Brave-sama in person... gulp."
"Wait, so Hannah-sama has an appointnt with Brave-sama!?"
"I could only think so. Still, what a precious sight."
I felt the evaluating gaze vanishing as soon as they were casted.
I don't know what that was, but anyway, I was saved.
I really want to run away from this place.
"Then, let's go. What do you think about visiting cooking specialized guild ‹In search for balance between taste and buff› first?"
"Hmm, alright with . We will go shopping for the things I want after that."
After a light exchange, we head towards the C street, accompanied by curious glances from behind, apparently from the noble girls.
I asked Hannah as we walked along the road to C street. It was sothing on my mind for quite a while.
"Say Hannah, have you been called Hannha-sama recently?"
It attracted my attention because even the opponents in today's guild battle referred to her as "Hannah-sama."
"Eh? Ah, hmm. I think I have been called that."
When I asked her, Hannah looked a bit hesitant, but eventually talked.
"Well, you see, there was the quest seeking for ‹HIgh-Potion› and ‹Mana Stone (mid)› before. It sohow turned into buzz when I delivered them."
"Ah, there was one indeed."
It happened during Dungeon Week. Hannah had asked if she could take a quest when I was busy carrying everyone around the dungeon.
It was a delivery quest, and the items requested were sothing that was piling dust in the ‹Eden›. I vaguely rember giving her permission without much thought.
"And then, they were troubled with the amount, they apparently needed 10,000 ‹High-Potion›, and ‹Mana Stone (mid)› each."
"......Hmm?"
Strange. I was sure they would only need items up to four digit count..
"It seems like the academy had a severe shortage of potions. Was it advanced grade exploration? they were being used there, and I heard them saying they ran out of potion used by first and second year students."
Now that she says, I rember being persuaded by Hannah at that ti, saying. "They really are in a pinch, can I help them?"... wait, that is ‹Academy Relief Quest›, Hannah! Not the average quest, you know!?
The Academy Relief Quest is a quest of even higher magnitude than supply chain blockage quest, it happens randomly and due to so kind of event. In that, the market fell into shortage of certain items and materials. If left unattended, it can disrupt the purchase of other materials and even result in the closure of shops and auctions for a month.
It was a super important quest where if you completed it, you will be awarded a massive amount of fa points, to the point of bringing you closer to scout a ‹Princess Job› character."
So it was that? I didn't even realize it was that!
Furthermore, the amount is seriously colossal! Not even in the ga had I ever seen an item quest that reached five digits! The best I had seen was one where they needed 1000 quantities!
"How did I even miss it! We need to arrange them asap!"
"Huh? Err, actually it is already over."
"......Hmm?"
"E, ehehe?"
Hmm~. Hmm...?
Although I already understand what Hannah said, it still paused my thinking for a while. Let's see, it has already ended?
The delivery of 10,000 high potions and 10,000 mana stones (mid) is already completely??
"......Hmm? Wait, seriously?"
"Well... yeah. I already had magic stones, and the academy said the material for ‹High-Potion›, ‹Superior dicinal Herbs›, can be procured from them. So I used the mana stone from my possession to create 10,000 additional mana stones (mid). And well, you see, sohow everyone started to look at with a strange glint when I completed it."
Ohh...... It seems I didn't mishear her.
I instinctively rubbed my temples.
You need 8 mana stones (small) to create one mana stone (mid).
Furthermore, monsters don't so easily drop the mana stone (mid). Normally, they aren't sothing that can be gathered so easily......
Oh the sweet sumr child, Hannah. That;s what they called Invincible Producer, you know?
Could it be that all the massive fa points we were supposed to gain ended up going to Hannah?
So unknown best to , Hannah had apparently cleared ‹Academy Relief Quest›.
It's no wonder she would be called Hannah-sama!
Perhaps she herself doesn't know she has involuntarily helped many students.
For a while, I was completely at a loss for words on what to say after hearing the full details, and it took so ti to swallow it.
This was sothing I heard later, but apparently Hannah, a small yet diligent and extraordinarily talented ‹Alchemist›, not to ntion mber of ‹Eden›, and even more, higher level than , had garnered the respect of students in the production departnt building.
So, they have decided to call her Hannah-sama now.
The dormitory she is living in is also that fortunate girls dormitory, so I heard students are convinced that she is a noble girl from upper class.
Hannah is a villager though!?
There was no end to my surprise, but anyway, thank you for clearing ‹Academy Relief Quest›, Hannha. You really made a serious contribution.
With the mystery of being called 'Hannah-sama' resolved, Hannah and I finished our shopping and headed to the guild first thing in the afternoon.
