Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 43.1

On the evening of the first day.

Of course, we had dinner in the cafeteria, but for some reason, that guy Al moved the chairs all the way to where I originally sat.

Initially, I sat in order from right to left: an empty seat, the young lady, an empty seat, then Al. But now, it feels like it’s arranged from the young lady, to my right, Al, an empty seat, and another empty seat.

“Al, why are you getting so close?”

“Isn’t it lonely by yourself? It’s because Beryl moved over, right?”

“No, it’s not my fault. It’s because the young lady asked me to move.”

“Then it shouldn’t be a problem if I sit here, right?”

“Sigh… Well, whatever.”

While talking to Al, I noticed the young lady looking at me wide-eyed.

“Young lady? What’s wrong?”

“B-Beryl…? You’re talking normally with Lord Alphonse?”

“Hm? Is something strange? Al said it was okay.”

It’s not just the young lady. Even the red-haired fiancé of the somewhat eccentric young lady sitting in front of us seemed surprised.

Everyone… What’s going on? And I feel like the entire cafeteria is looking over here… Is it just my imagination?

“Beryl, listen carefully. Lord Alphonse is… the third prince of this country.”

……

……

…Let’s take a deep breath.

“…………Phew.”

And then, I looked at Al sitting next to me with a resolute attitude as if to say, “What’s the matter?”

“What’s this? You lied to me!?”

“Oh come on~ I didn’t lie! Besides, if I break noble customs, it would be a disgrace to Lady Emblam, your mistress. It’s too late to call me Lord Alphonse now.”

“Ugh!”

Aaargh! Forget it already!

As I regained my composure and looked straight ahead, the red-haired guy was clutching his stomach and trying hard not to burst out laughing.

This guy too… Always laughing!

I thought it was weird that no one was sitting directly across from me! I never thought he was a prince!

Wait, there are actual princes in this kingdom.

No, I mean, it’s a kingdom, so there must be kings and princes, right? But I’ve never met characters like that in “World of Liberty” before.

Dinner was served, and I enjoyed a delicious meal while enduring the painful stares.

After dinner, the students returned home by various means like carriages.

The residents of the dormitory returned to their rooms, some went on dates, and others headed to the training grounds.

It was the first day of enrollment, but dormitory residents were already accustomed to the facilities.

As for me, I couldn’t spend time freely while Lady Emblam and Rin were in the girls’ dormitory.

The princess knights who weren’t students seemed to spend their time in a building next to the girls’ dormitory reserved exclusively for princess knights. Apparently, each of them had their own private rooms.

They get better treatment than the students, which is enviable.

Immediately—after leaving the academy, I headed towards a certain place.

I walked down a street just outside the Royal Capital.

I felt a sense of relief in the familiar scenery of the street.

And then, I arrived at the place—the entrance to the underground passage leading to the dungeon!

…but that was supposed to be it.

Instead, what stood before me now was not the entrance to the underground passage, but a large building that seemed unnaturally constructed.

No way, why would there be such a building out here? And from its appearance, it looks like a new building.

The building was surrounded by high walls and heavily guarded inside.

Ah… I see. It feels like someone is monopolizing the dungeon. Or perhaps it has become a nest of evil.

Anyway, since I’ve come this far, I might as well confirm whether there really is a dungeon or not.
