48. Self-study week (1)

A huge clock tower located in the academy.

Inside, there are intricately entangled magic circles.

In the game, it was just a place that was treated as a phox monster flying in the air.

Seeing it this close, the majesty was no joke.

“… It’s a very strange law school.”

“It’s definitely great. I heard that it is connected to all major strongholds of the empire?”

“… … “

Each of them spit out their emotions and inspected the inside of the clock tower.

After a while, a woman who looked like a receptionist approached us.

“hello! Are you academy students?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The receptionist greeted us with a smile.

It seems that they are trying to verify their student status.

Because they could fight, it was because they wore their own combat uniforms instead of their usual school uniforms.

I donned an improved battle butler uniform, and Koyono wore a samurai outfit.

Arlott is in a wheelchair, wearing a wide-brimmed witch hat and robe,

Evan was dressed as a standard adventurer with chain mail and a long sword on his back.

Looking at it like this, it definitely feels like a warrior party.

Let me indulge in that feeling for a while.

I took out the ‘Self-Study Week Plan’ from my pocket and showed it to the receptionist.

“It’s self-study week. I will guide you to the magic circle heading to the southern base.”

A transfer magic circle that can be used for free by academy students.

It was the work of ‘Celestina’, a master of magic and the dean of Savior Academy.

Among dozens of portals, head to the one the receptionist pointed out.

“All four of you, please stand on top of the teleportation magic circle.

One after another, they climbed up the magic circle that emitted blue light.

Evan took the middle seat without saying a word, and I entered the magic circle, pulling Arlott’s wheelchair.

By the way…

“that… Can I go to the bathroom for a while?”

“…? Didn’t you come back five minutes ago?”

“Oh, or, you may leave first. I will follow you carefully on foot…”

Koyono stood at the end of the magic circle in a hesitant posture and kept drawing attention.

The receptionist just looks at me with a puzzled look.

Come to think of it, she had portal phobia.

When I first rode the portal, I remember that it was an event to ride close to the main character.

“Whoa… Come here.”

“Ah… ”

Reluctantly, I took her hand and brought her into the magic circle.

Because it was impossible to waste time here.

At first, she tried to resist, but after taking one or two steps, she came under my power.

“The portal is safe. At least it’s a mild motion sickness.”

“…”

It was a bit like letting go coldly as the frightened hand trembled gently.

Just in time, I heard an announcement saying, ‘Please hold the hand of the person next to you to unify the mana flow’.

Holding Arlott’s hand on the wheelchair, the four of them joined hands.

Soon, the magic circle began to rotate in a geometric trajectory, emitting blue light…

“Okay then let’s go!”

The light from the magic circle intensified, gradually blurring my vision, and eventually the area in front of my eyes turned completely white.

After a while, the light fades and a completely new landscape unfolds before your eyes.

It was the figure of Kurunkap, the capital of the south rising from the tropical jungle rain forest.

“Welcome to Kurunkap. Your sense of balance or motion sickness will soon improve.”

Blinking your eyes a couple of times, you have traveled hundreds of kilometers in an instant.

The transfer was over in the blink of an eye.

I look around the main table to see if there is any problem, and Arlott opens his mouth with a cold smile.

“… Koyono-san, is the transfer over now?”

The eyes are smiling, but strangely, there is anger.

What’s going on?

I looked around following Arlott’s gaze…

Koyono seemed to be clinging to me with her eyes closed and her teeth clenched.

“Koyono-san, it’s a little closer… ”

“… hot! no, this This… ”

Koyono, who seems to have come to his senses, is quickly moving away from me.

He was so embarrassed that his face was all red.

I tried to erase the warm feeling on my arm and guided the personnel.

“Keuheum, let’s move to the base first.”

“… Hmm, okay.”

“Uh, I want to go there, the southern dungeon.”

Koyono creaked in embarrassment, and Arlott gave a slightly cold gaze.

The party with the two immediately stabilized the South

headed to the dungeon.

* * *

In a densely forested jungle.

Coming out of the southern capital, we walked straight south.

There is a road, but it was a dirt road with overgrown bushes, so the fatigue was multiplied.

Plus this terrible weather.

It boasts a different level of heat and humidity from the central part where the academy is located.

I wondered if it would be like this if I went to Amazon.

‘But, I’ll just have to be patient.’

According to the map prepared in advance, the stabilization dungeon exists about an hour to the south.

If the dungeon raid is over quickly, the remaining time will be able to enjoy a leisurely trip.

In the midst of walking slowly, taking comfort in it, a small obstacle blocks our way.

“Ugh… I guess a wheelchair would be too much… ”

Branches and rocks on the side of the road kept getting caught and blocking Arlott’s wheelchair.

Arlott seems to be worried about that too.

The area is all unpaved roads, so it is unreasonable to use a wheelchair any more.

If so, there must be only one way.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

“… What!? Schmitz?”

I immediately put my hands behind Arlott’s knees and back and lifted him up.

Should I say hug the princess?

The bag on the back was said to be too big to carry, so it was best to carry it like this.

“Please ask Mr. Koyono for a wheelchair.”

“… If that happens, you will lose your hands. Wouldn’t it be hard?”

“If it’s necessary, you can drop me back in the wheelchair. Besides, Princess is light, so it doesn’t take much effort.”

“You don’t have to say that, Schmitz… ”

Arlott bowed his head to his chest, and Koyono gave a strange look while dragging an empty wheelchair.

… And Evan just watched it without saying anything.

5 minutes after that.

“Prince Schmitz, aren’t you having a hard time?”

“It’s only been five minutes. it’s okay.”

10 minutes later.

“You seem to have slowed down your steps, but you seem a little tired.”

“It’s still okay. I’ll tell you if it’s difficult.”

15 minutes later.

“Hey, you look a little tired now…!”

“…I’m fine, but are you having any problems?”

“Go, if possible, I would like to hug Arlott Sojour!”

To want to hug Arlott, what kind of wind was blowing?

Looking at her with strange eyes, he hurriedly shook his hands and began to explain why.

“I don’t envy Prince Arlot… I just envy Schmitz holding Prince Arlot. It’s hot in the south, but Arlot Sozer’s body is cool… It’s no big deal if Prince Schmitz gets tired of guiding the way! Hurry up and hand it over to me. Poetry.”

Koyono was always babbling about reasons, but everything had a point.

If I was tired, there would be no one to guide me, and Koyono, dressed in armor and other samurai clothes, looked hot to anyone.

Moreover, Arlott’s condition has weakened considerably, so even if Koyono hugged him, he would only feel cool.

“Then please.”

“No, just leave it to me!”

“… Chit, if you’re having a hard time, switch to Schmitz right away.”

Koyono hugged Arlott with full of confidence, and Arlott looked strangely dissatisfied.

It is a figure that supports Arlott with ease in a barrel with excellent muscle strength.

If there is one problem –

“… annoying.”

“Muhh… ! Ah, Lord Arlott, there… !”

Arlotte expresses his dissatisfaction with a sad face.

Doing something, Koyono’s nutrient sac was putting pressure on both of Arlott’s cheeks.

Arlott, who was heartbroken by this, began to place Koyono’s femininity on her own…

The moaning that followed was the result of that.

Well, there were some incidents, but the party was able to reach the front of the dungeon without difficulty.

Immediately in front of the party arriving at the entrance, the gatekeepers of the dungeon appear.

“Are you academy students?”

“How cute… I had a time like that too.”

Two women dressed in revealing outfits like ethnic minorities in the jungle.

The brown skin and the white tattoos on the skin also drew attention, but

What caught my eye was none other than animal ears.

“Haha, it looks like you’re concerned, our animal ears.”

“Cute. The kid in that butler’s uniform.”

It seemed to notice the gaze flowing toward the ear.

Animal ears that move prickly and look soft with fur attached to them.

Seeing it for real made me nervous.

tuk tuk-

When I felt someone touch my arm, I looked around and saw Arlotte with a puzzled expression.

Yes, no matter how good your animal ears are, you have to do what you do right.

“Here is the dungeon exploration plan.”

“Hmm, no matter how stable the dungeon is, I never thought I would choose it as my first experience activity. Do you have good guts?”

“In case of emergency, throw this on the floor and explode it. I’ll smell it and run.”

It was the gatekeeper who explained a lot of things as a senior at the academy.

I was able to enter the dungeon only after hearing all of their explanations.

‘This is my first time entering a dungeon in this world.’

A dungeon is a concept like a natural disaster in a place where mana gathers, such as a cave or a bush.

A dungeon core is created deep inside, and animals attracted to the core turn into monsters.

Among them, there were often those who dealt with monsters.

However, most monsters are hostile to humans,

Monsters ruled by the demon king become monsters and even obey the commands of the demon tribe.

‘No matter what, the things to deal with are the same.’

Whether it’s a monster or a monster, it’s a dangerous existence from the human point of view.

The only difference is that monsters are constantly regenerating in dungeons, so they become a source of income.

The saying that the dungeon was ‘stabilized’ came from this meaning.

If you clean the monsters periodically without destroying the core, you can continue to get by-products.

The gatekeepers at the entrance to the dungeon were the Empire’s manpower who managed the dungeon by continuing a series of processes.

“Now, since we entered the dungeon, we need to be alert.”

The first thing he did was put Arlot back in his wheelchair.

The inside of the dungeon was an angular stone structure like a pyramid maze, so it was judged that there would be no inconvenience in moving.

“Mr. Koyono, Ms. Evan, and Princess Arlotte, I will change the arrangement in that order.”

Tanker Koyono is at the forefront,

Evan makes up for the lack of deals in the lieutenant,

Arlot and I finish off the monsters from the rear.

It was practically the first battle with a proper battle line.

I tried to calm down the excitement this gave me and opened my mouth.

“Then, from now on, we will start exploring the dungeon.”

The faces of the party members who were excited by the torchlight began to take on a color of tension every moment.
