Once they had defeated the area boss on the twentieth floor, Soma and Hildegard decided that was a good stopping point and left the dungeon for the time being.

Although it was clearly in an abnormal state, they were only two people. They couldn’t exactly keep going all night, and they didn’t have unlimited focus.

The dungeon had been filled with more hidden passages and traps than they’d anticipated, and all the monsters were ones that shouldn’t have been there, like the king goblin. Although the two of them had more than enough skill for the situation, it had frayed their nerves and drained their mental energy. Considering that things were probably even worse in the deeper levels, they’d decided to continue the next day instead of overworking themselves.

“All right, then,” Soma muttered and looked up at the sky. Night hadn’t fallen yet, but the sun was going to begin setting soon.

The students had a rough curfew; they were told to be back to their dorms by sunset. However, there was no specific time they had to be back by, so he didn’t think it would be an issue if he was a little late.

He’d get a scolding if he was too late, of course...but he had time to wrap up an errand or two first.

“Will you be going back to your room, Hildegard?”

“No, I must complete an errand beforehand. What shall you do?”

“I have something to do myself. I was just thinking of dropping by the library.”

“What a coincidence... I plan to do the very same thing.”

Remembering that he’d seen her in the library before, Soma turned a suspicious glare on Hildegard as soon as those words left her mouth.

“You must not have anything to do after all.”

“Why do you regard me thus...?! I would have you know, I do not intend to follow you! I legitimately have my own reasons to go!”

Recognizing his doubts, she’d responded adamantly, but it honestly only made him more doubtful. What would the headmaster need to do at the library?

“Well, you’re the one who will end up in trouble later, so it doesn’t matter to me.”

Soma didn’t actually think Hildegard had that much time on her hands. She’d brought so many documents to her room; she must have had enough things to do to warrant that.

But that aside, the fact that she met with Soma and did things with him so often made her look like she didn’t have much to do.

“I am telling you, I have a genuine reason to go this time!”

“The fact that you say ‘this time’ doesn’t help your case.”

They began walking toward the library as they spoke. Since they were starting from the practice area, they would have to walk all the way across the campus, but it wouldn’t be a very long journey, since they could go in a straight line. It would only take a little longer than going to the dorms.

Soma and Hildegard made small talk along the way and arrived at the library shortly.

“Hmm... The quiet
