Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 44.1

“Y-you finally found me… Hah hah…”

Standing before me, breathing heavily, is――――

“Lisa!?”

It’s Lisa, her usual pink hair fluttering, breathing heavily, and smiling.

Moreover, she’s wearing the uniform of the Royal Capital Noble Academy.

“Hm? Why is Lisa wearing the academy uniform?”

“Beryl-kun… You really don’t pay any attention to your classmates, do you?”

“…Well, I mean… I don’t really want to get involved.”

“Hehe. I’m relieved to hear that’s like you, Beryl-kun! I, Lisa Witcher, the Baron’s daughter, have enrolled as well!”

“Eh!? W-when did this happen!?”

“Hehe. I’ve been keeping quiet because I wanted to surprise you! I’ve been waiting to see when you’d find me in class…”

“…I’m sorry about that.”

“It’s okay. By the way…”

“Hm?”

Lisa’s expression changes to a slightly scary look.

“That girl was Beryl-kun’s young lady, wasn’t she?”

“Y-yeah…”

Lisa smiles.

It’s the first time I’ve seen her make this kind of expression.

“Is Lisa living in the dorms too?”

“Nope.”

“Really? Did you rent a house?”

“Yes! My grandmother used her connections to buy a house and even purchase the Baron title for me, so I could enroll!”

“Oh, so that’s the background.”

“By the way, my grandmother is here too, you know?”

“Lady Evans too!? Lisa, I’d love to go and greet her.”

“Hehe. I’ll show you around.”

“Thank you!”

I was really pleased to hear this since I thought I wouldn’t see Lady Evans for three years. I can even skip hunting for three years if it’s like this.

We walked together for a while and arrived at a mansion near the academy.

It’s in a wealthy area, with solid walls and a quite spacious interior.

The house in the center is worthy of being called a mansion. However, there is no sign of people inside the grounds.

Lisa opened the mansion’s door and cheerfully called out, “Grandmother, I brought Beryl-kun with me!” Several maids came out.

“Eh!? These aren’t ordinary maids!?”

“Yes! They are what’s called magic mechanical dolls.”

“Magic mechanical dolls… Amazing!”

Magic mechanical dolls! It’s been a while since I saw them! They’re somewhat common in the Empire, and if you invest money, they can become strong and even join you in hunting. They are commonly known as [androids].

The magic mechanical dolls took care of our coats and luggage.

They moved exactly like real maids, with no sense of incongruity. The only difference from real humans is their appearance.

In the living room, the elegant Lady Evans, sitting gracefully with her legs crossed, was reading a book.

“Welcome~”

“It’s been a while, Lady Evans. I thought I wouldn’t see you for about three years.”

“Hehe. Did you miss me?”

“Yes!”

“………”

Lady Evans squinted at me.

“Honestly… You always show such pure feelings. So, you and Lisa managed to be in the same class, huh?”

“Yes. I never imagined Lisa would be in the same class.”

“Lisa wanted to surprise you. Hehe.”

I sat on the sofa opposite Lady Evans, and Lisa sat next to me.

“By the way, Beryl-kun, why were you in such a place?”

“Oh, there’s an underground dungeon near there, and I just went to check it out.”

“Underground dungeon…?”

“You knew about the underground dungeon in the capital? It was blocked off with some strange building.”

“Yes. I don’t know who it is, but it seems they are monopolizing it.”

“I used to use it often, so I tried to get Lisa to go there too, but it seems she got ahead of me.”

“Is it someone like Lady Evans, the witch?”

“That’s not it. I asked the Magic Network, but no one seems to know.”

The Magic Network…

“Lady Evans, I’m having trouble with hunting spots. Do you have any good ideas?”

“A good idea… There is one.”

“Oh! As expected of Lady Evans!”

“Hmm, should I tell you…?”
