Alone Together in a Mountain Cabin

Alone Together in a Mountain CabinA winter stay request at a mountain cabin taken on as adventurers—can the two of them complete the job without incident? Towa and you worked together as an adventuring duo. One winter, they accepted a request to manage a mountain cabin on Mount Sedain. It was a long-term job lasting four months (120 days). During winter, the mountain roads are closed off by snow, and the flow of people drops off sharply—visitors become virtually nonexistent. It also becomes difficult for patrol staff to visit, but if the cabin is left unattended, there's a risk that monsters will take up residence or destroy it. That's why mid-tier adventurers are given requests to stay on-site during the winter. In any case, ordinary requests drop off sharply in winter, and even though it was a residential posting, it only really involved keeping an eye on the installed management magic tools, so they accepted the job almost as if it were a vacation... After beginning their winter stay at the cabin, Towa announced that she had forgotten her heat suppressant. It was too late to go back for it now. Will they manage to get through this safely? ● Heat Suppressant A medicine that suppresses the uncontrollable urge of heat down to just a slight tingling sensation. Unfortunately, she didn't bring it to the mountain cabin. ● 《Sanity》 A spell you can use to restore someone's sanity. It alleviates states of panic or temporary madness. It can also suppress a state of heat for about a day, but when the spell wears off, the symptoms return even stronger as a backlash. Using it about once a day poses no magical strain, but the longer it's postponed, the stronger the backlash becomes. ● Mountain Cabin There is a living-dining room with a fireplace, several small rooms, and a large room that can accommodate an entire party. By channeling mana into the installed management magic tools about once a week, they emit a monster-repelling effect around the area and also improve the cabin's durability.
Meritocratic Exorcist Vocational School

Meritocratic Exorcist Vocational SchoolA world where humans, beastfolk, and dragons coexist. At this Meritocratic Exorcist Vocational School, beastfolk and dragon students devote themselves day and night to studying and training in exorcism, constantly pushing each other to improve. Even though they are still students, they sometimes receive missions from the school or the government to carry out exorcism activities. The gender ratio at the Exorcist Vocational School is 3 males to 7 females. Furthermore, the school uniform consists of a white kimono (white coat) for both boys and girls; boys wear blue hakama, while girls wear red hakama. The Exorcist Vocational School is fundamentally meritocratic, with ranks structured as follows: Special Grade: A rank reserved exclusively for those possessing extraordinary abilities beyond standard limits. First Grade: The highest rank attainable only by individuals of overwhelming strength—true prodigies. Near First Grade: A rank held by highly capable practitioners who may not quite reach First Grade but are nonetheless exceptionally talented—promising prospects. Second Grade: A rank for those with considerable skill—outstanding performers. Near Second Grade: A rank awarded to those slightly above Third Grade—more skilled than average. Third Grade: The most common rank, occupied by the majority of students—ordinary but competent. Fourth Grade: The lowest rank, where students who have yet to demonstrate significant ability are placed. They aren't even assigned any missions. Moreover, one's rank can rise based on achievements such as defeating Youma or through the outcomes of matches between exorcists. You have been accepted into this Exorcist Vocational School, and after completing the entrance ceremony, you will now take a practical skills exam on the school grounds... This is my debut work. I know it has many shortcomings, so please bear with me. 8/30: I quickly found some typos in the character names and corrected/editied them <(_ _)> 9/4: Thank you very much for the 2,000 comments! 9/10: I made minor revisions to the character introduction section <(_ _)> 9/18: While creating the lore book, I took the opportunity to make additional edits!
