NOVEL NEXT chapter 35
35 – Childhood Friend Hero’s Journey (8) – Failure
Raina immediately headed to the Imperial Academy to recruit Luna.
Because of her current status as a student, she’s probably there.
And after arriving at the academy, she was able to meet her secretary.
“Hmm… What happened to the hero…?”
She introduced herself as Luna’s servant.
His name was Pinnya, Luna’s secretary from the Mage Tower.
Of course, the secretary couldn’t help but sweat when he saw Raina who came without any notice.
“I want to meet Luna.”
And to Pinnya, Raina told her purpose for coming here.
Because it was her purpose to recruit her Luna.
“Yes…? Why did the warrior take my lady?”
Pinya was curious about why he wanted to meet Luna.
“Well, I want to talk. Can you let me meet you?”
Raina intended to meet and talk with Luna in person. She
She told me to hurry up and get her Luna.
“Ummm… Yes. I’ll call you right now.”
Pinya ran to the place where Luna was at the words of such a warrior.
Regardless of the reason, I couldn’t refuse someone who was a warrior.
So Pinnya ran to Luna.
And after a while.
Raina was able to meet Luna.
“Are you Luna?”
A girl with pink hair and a skinny look.
I was impressed with her half-open eyes, as if she was still asleep, and she was a pretty cute girl.
Raina greeted the girl warmly.
“Yes…”
Luna rubbed her eyes and looked at her lianas, nodding her head.
‘Obviously… You seem quite talented.’
Looking at her Luna, Raina smiled as if she was quite satisfied.
The amount of mana I could definitely feel, the amount was truly amazing.
It was as vast as Elina, a former wizard of the warrior party.
Of course, since she hasn’t reached her age yet, it’s certain that she will fall far behind Elina in many ways.
Even with that said, it was clear that there would be no magician as good as Luna.
So, now, at this moment, I had to recruit him, and Raina was determined to do so.
“Luna. The reason I came is to recruit you.”
Raina looked at Luna and said honestly.
“Now, the warrior party and the world desperately need your help, Luna… Would you like to come with me?”
I want you to go together to defeat the demon king.
“…?”
After hearing her words, Luna tilted her head.
As if she hadn’t even thought of that at all, the reaction was as if it was a very out of the blue proposal.
“Of course, I’m not just asking you to go with me. This is a pretty good advantage for you too.”
To Luna, Rina began to appeal the strengths of her warrior party with all her might.
“If you succeed in subduing the demon lord in the warriors’ party, it’s almost certain that you will become the next demon tower owner.”
There are many good things about going to a warrior’s party.
If you are a wizard, you can go up to the Mage Tower Master, a position that any wizard dreams of.
A lot of things come into her hands then.
“Then you can win a lot of wealth, honor, and power.”
Things that only successful people have.
You can hold all of those things in your hands.
You can own the magic tower itself, so you can earn a lot of money.
You can even win the honor of being the master of the mage called the king of wizards.
You can do a lot of things at will using the mage tower.
“Isn’t it better than I thought? Would you like to save the world with your sister?”
As she explained these things, Raina persuaded Luna.
Then, Raina held out her hand to Luna.
It was an action meant to be her companion.
“Hmm…”
Luna heard that.
Luna stared blankly at Raina for a moment.
She has eyes that haven’t woken up yet.
“…?”
Contrary to her own expectations, Rina was taken aback by such an unfavorable reaction, but…
“Do you want to turn around?”
Luna slowly opened her mouth. She
She And she proposed a sudden favor to Rina.
“Look back…?”
“Yes…”
Why do you turn back on yourself?
Raina couldn’t get a sense of why Luna was asking herself like this, but she decided to turn around.
“I turned around…?”
What the hell was she trying to do by making herself turn behind her?
Raina waited for Luna’s next move.
“What…!?”
She was taken aback by the sudden touch on her back.
“Go… Suddenly back hug…?”
I was so surprised that I turned around and saw Luna hugging herself.
In this situation, Raina was naturally taken aback.
‘What is…?’
What the hell is this situation?
Why is she hugging herself?
She couldn’t understand the reason at all, but Raina soon understood the situation.
“Does that mean you’re going with me?”
Isn’t this kind of hugging a ritual to accept her as her companion?
A smile appeared on Rina’s lips as she thought about that.
She probably succeeded in recruiting Luna into her party.
But.
“… 5 Stars.”
Luna removed her arm from Raina.
And she looks very displeased.
She spat out an incomprehensible word.
“Huh…?”
5 Points…?
Suddenly, what does that mean?
I couldn’t figure out why.
“I don’t like it…”
From what she said, Luna seemed to be evaluating herself.
She seemed to mean that she was a five-pointer.
I don’t know if she’s a 5 out of a few, but from Luna’s expression, it’s clear that she’s not very high.
‘What is…?’
It was such an embarrassing situation for Raina.
She was embarrassed by the sudden evaluation of herself.
It was embarrassing that she dared to evaluate herself, her hero, for a mere wizard.
What the hell did she evaluate? She was embarrassed that she got a 5.
“What…? 5 Points?”
Still, Raina tried to solve it with words as much as possible.
A child named Luna had a personality that seemed a bit odd at first glance.
Because she was a liana, gathering party members was important now.
She suppressed her facial expression as much as possible, and asked Luna to have a conversation with her…
“Value as a bed…”
“Huh…?”
“My sister… Her back is not comfortable.”
She was able to hear really absurd answers.
Your back is not comfortable…?
Could it be that she won’t join the hero’s party because of that?
She had such doubts.
“I… I’m not going.”
Anyway, that thought seemed right.
She was Luna who wanted to turn around and leave this place without any regrets.
“What the hell…?”
Looking at Luna like that, she couldn’t help but be dazed for a moment.
Rina stayed like that for a while and then scratched her head.
“Ah.. Really. Well, there are all these guys.”
In the end, her recruitment failed.
Because Luna was quite an eccentric.
This result made Rina slightly annoyed.
“No… Well, it’s fine.”
But she still thought she was fine.
Although she couldn’t recruit Luna, she herself had already recruited two high-level party members.
“Is Laina finished?”
“Uh. What.”
“Then let’s go, warrior.”
Looking back, I saw Marc and Mer, who had updated her weapons and armor while Raina was recruiting Luna.
The party members newly selected by Rina this time.
Her former party members are Andros, Miner, Elina, and Ner Ah. They were much more reliable than these four people.
“I’ll just subdue it like this.”
As it is, the Demon King thought it wouldn’t be bad to subjugate again.
Because 2 decent party members are better than 4 useless party members.
With just this amount of party members, he, the strongest warrior, would be able to defeat the demon lord.
“Let’s go.”
Raina once again made up her mind. She
She and She set off for the Demon King’s Castle again.

It’s been 30 minutes since Luna left because of work at the Magic Tower.
It seemed that the Mage Tower’s work was getting longer.
“Hmm… What’s going on…?”
Because of this, I couldn’t help but worry.
I wondered if something big had happened at the Wizard’s Tower, so I was worried for no reason.
However, there was no need to worry about that.
“Hmm… Sir…”
I opened the classroom door and Luna trudged along.
Sleepy eyes as usual.
I opened my eyes and walked away.
“As expected, 95 points…”
And as always, he was hugged on my back.
Luna really liked my back.
Does my back feel that good?
“Luna. How are you?”
I carried Luna on my back.
I asked what happened.
“Teacher… I met a girl with a 5.”
“Huh…? Who is that?”
“A warrior.”
Luna told her what had happened to her.
She said she met a hero…
“…?”
The word brave came out of nowhere.
I was surprised to hear that.
The person Luna met is a hero?
If you’re a hero, you’re saying Raina.
‘It’s strange…?’
And that didn’t make any sense at all.
As far as I know, it was the right time for Raina to join forces with her party members in order to subdue the demon lord.
But just now, Raina came looking for Luna?
Why the hell?
“Hmm…? Raina? Why is Raina looking for you?”
I didn’t understand at all from beginning to end, so I asked Luna again.
“Hmm… They told me to join the warrior party…?”
Luna yawned and recounted what Rina had said to her.
“?…”
Somehow, it seemed that things were going strangely.
What… Could it be that the demon lord subjugation failed?
