conversations.value:  “People are going to misunderstand!” The Imperial Academy didn’t have anything resembling a homeroom. Instead, the teachers made announcements before class if they had anything important to convey to us. Today, they did. “The pope will be visiting our academy next month. We’ll be assigning duties to everyone in preparation.”

conversations.value:  The pope led the Spiritual Church. They usually stayed at the Bauer Cathedral, but as the Spiritual Church had followers all over the world, the pope had to travel every so often to visit different locales.

conversations.value:  According to the teacher, the pope was coming to the capital for a conference with Dorothea. I hadn’t thought Dorothea particularly devout, considering how she dismissively referred to the church as a “house of worship” during our audience. I wondered what they could possibly have to discuss.

conversations.value:  “You’ll be clearing monsters from the pope’s planned route. The military will handle the more dangerous areas, while we’ll take care of the less fraught ones.”
conversations.prefix: Teacher:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  Monster extermination. Just as with Bauer’s Amour Festival, the military often lacked the personnel to tackle all the beasts alone, relying instead on support from local militias and other citizen volunteers. The Nur Empire actually had it worse than the Bauer Kingdom, being closer to demon territory. Demons sat at the peak of monster hierarchy, making monsters far stronger and more numerous in the empire’s vicinity.

conversations.prefix: Teacher:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  Class began like normal. As always, the teacher hated wasting time on things not pertaining to our studies. The same couldn’t be said for the students.

conversations.value:  I heard two voices in my head. Had to be telepathy. The first was Frieda—using her wind-attribute magic—and the second, Philine.

conversations.value:  Will it be the four of us, then?
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  Oui! The four of us are very strong, no?
conversations.prefix: Frieda:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  Sure, but are you allowed to team up with us? We’re from the Bauer Kingdom, you know?
conversations.prefix: Claire:

conversations.value:  Philine is a princess of the Nur Empire, Claire explained.

conversations.value:  Is it really all right for her to work with people who were so recently the empire’s enemies?
conversations.prefix: Claire:

conversations.value:  It was a good opportunity for us to strengthen our rapport with Philine, but we had to consider her circumstances.

conversations.prefix: Philine:

conversations.value:  Yes! A-okay!
conversations.prefix: Frieda:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  Color me unconvinced. I had a feeling the teacher would say no. But to my surprise, the teacher didn’t object in the least when we reported our group after school. Really, Nur Empire? While we were reporting to the teacher, I tried to negotiate exchanging monster extermination for a different task. I hadn’t ruled out the possibility of an assassination attempt on the Nur Empire’s part under the pretense of an incident out on the hunt.
