I was looking up at the roof.

Even so, all you can see from here is about a fence.

Other than that, I don't see anything in particular, and I don't have a shadow.

Now I started at that place. I know that.

But I don't want to go to that place.

This is not like fear.

The more I just stare, the more I see myself refusing.

Besides...

Nothing. There's nothing there.

"So, what do you do?

"Hmm? Oh......"

That's when Toa asked me where I was going next.

In the meantime, let's use this again.

"Let's go inside the school building. There might be something there."

I'm not thinking of anything in particular.

I just don't know where this is, but whether it's the dungeon or the world I was in, we need to move on.

The four of us went up a staircase about steps to the school building.

"With that said, Nem, how far up has the level gone now?

Then, for some reason, Nem looked at me with a fluff.

"What? Are you sick, too?

"It's not! Nem was waiting to see when your husband would ask about it!

I mean, you were obstinate because I wouldn't listen to you right away... what the hell.

"So? What happened to the level?

"That's awesome!

Then Nem jumped, happily.

He wanted to say it so quickly.

"Nem's level, which was 13, is already 24!

"Hmm? 24? That's not much...... that's all you got, no experience?

Then Nem's expression turned to sadness.

Did something bad happen to you?

And then Toa...

"You went up 11 at a time, didn't you? That's good enough."

"Really?

Nem didn't crusade directly.

I just hit some magic to lightly scorch it.

That raised the level, so maybe it's enough.

I looked at Nem again and started over.

"Well done, Nem! At this rate, here's what's next!

"... is that it?

"Hmm?"

"Is it true?

Nem looked up at my face and peered in.

"Book hit? ……

"Is Nem... for your husband?

Nem said that with a sad look as he looked me in the eye with his upper hand.

As I've thought before, why is Nem holding me?

Sure, if I hadn't helped then, I'd have had terrible eyes by now.

But you saved me, so I could do whatever I wanted.

"Oh, of course! I may have caught things too far on my own level. You're doing great! And that magic was amazing."

Then Nem smiled slowly as she peered at me.

"Yes it is! I worked hard, I practiced!

I stroked Nem's head.

Hard work... is that for me too?

Then you should praise him.

If Nem can grow with it.

"Masamune, what's that?

Toa pointed inside the school building visible from here.

It's a dumpster.

That was the first dumpster in a long time, lined up regularly.

"Hmm?... what?

Then from a distance, but the shade of the dumpster seemed to move for a moment.

I stared into the shadow.

"Hey? That..."

Then there, something of one appeared.

Something drooling came out of the entrance to the school building.

"What is that?

Suphilia stared at me, too, looking at the same thing as me.

"Sufilia? You know what that is?

"No, I don't know"

I finally caught a glimpse of Toa and Nem.

But all three of them apparently don't know.

"Nem, why don't you try shooting that drool with the magic you just did?

I told Nem to give it a shot.

"Yes, it is. - [Fire (Shreim)]!"

Then three spheres of fire appeared around Nem.

Same fire as earlier.

The sphere of fire echoed the sound of burning and cutting the wind, flying simultaneously towards the drool.

And strike straight at the drool.

"I did it!

After a direct hit, the dust gently subsided.

I glanced and waited for the smoke to clear.

Then...

"Whoa, whoa, you're lying, right?!

Smoke cleared.

Then there were countless extra drools.

And I realized even more.

Inside the school building, beyond the dumpster.

- There, you should see the stairs leading upstairs, but you can't see anything in the dark.

And that “dark" is subtly moving around the corn.

Yes - the same drool filled the space.

I can handle it all......

You're a pain in the ass.

"What are we going to do?

When I saw them, the three of them were waiting for my instructions.

Toa asks me.

"It's a hassle, let's go in through another entrance"

This is not the only entrance to the school building.

Whatever it is, you can get it in through the window on the ground floor.

The four of us left the scene and headed from the gym to the school building to the crossing.

- The crossing.

It's a long outdoor corridor that connects the gym to the school building.

Although the roof is mounted, it is otherwise blown out.

The hallway lasts for a long time, passing directly next to the school building and leading to multiple entrances.

It also faces the staff building as well as the school building.

You can also go directly to the classroom building, but you can also enter the classroom building from the second floor of the staff building.

But that makes me go far.

Honestly, I probably should have come this way from the beginning, but I also have the desire to go through that dumpster for the first time in a long time.

Because there are so many things and I already felt like I was a student long ago......

Plus there was a reason why the four of us wanted to go through the front of the dumpster.

For me, in front of that unimportant dumpster, it felt like 'school gate' somewhere, and back then, I put on my shoes every day without any significance, just passing by.

What if you're a regular high school student?

For example, I occasionally come across a friend who has attended school at the same time and lightly exchanges "good morning" with no other love.

If you're a regular high school student, that's routine, and it doesn't make sense.

It's just plausible.

But not for me.

It was even a dream for me.

That's why I wanted to go through with the four of us.

That's just it.

We were walking down the crossing.

"And that's something unusual, isn't it?

That's what Toa said again.

"It's obsolete, isn't it?

Well, public schools are like this everywhere.

"Mm-hmm... I don't know, it feels like a camp"

"The camp?

You say that too much to a boulder.

"It's a place to keep bad guys locked up. I've seen it in pictures before."

"Huh. But I've been encouraging people to study here every day..."

When I said that, Toa was impressed for some reason.

Rude one.

"By the way, where does this road lead?

"Well, that's a lot. For now. Why don't you go to class?

"What classroom... Masamune's?

"Oh."

There's no particular reason.

I don't have to go.

But my leg was already pointing there.

As we proceeded down the crossing, we saw the entrance to the classroom building on our right hand side and the entrance to the staff building on our left.

There is a glass door at the entrance, with a good view inside.

It's called the entrance room to this school.

And across there, there's an entrance and exit that leads to the outside.

Beyond the entrance and exit is the road.

But I can't see any cars that are supposed to be running, and any pedestrians that are supposed to be walking.

Instead, the blood marks and the blood, the bodies of those who seem to be challengers, are rolling.

"Let's go......"

Toa saw a rolling body or tried to leave the scene immediately.

We went upstairs from the staff building to the classroom building where each classroom was located.

These two buildings are connected on the ground and second floors.

As soon as I entered the classroom building, I saw the classroom on my right hand side.

The chair desk is lined up and there is a blackboard.

But there are no students.

"After all, maybe this place is in the dungeon?

That's what I thought again.

Honestly, I've been wondering which one it is.

"Really? ……

"Oh, it doesn't matter what you think about the lack of people so far. There must be someone in the evening."

But no one but us.

This is crazy for a boulder, isn't it?

- It's a ghost school.

"Sure. Speaking of which, what about the lack of people?

"Oh, there are only corpses."

When I said that, Toa looked disgusted for a moment.

"No more... don't remind me too much. I'm trying not to think about it."

"Huh... that was pretty gross, huh? Speaking of dungeons, you said before that monsters disappear into particles, right?

"Huh? Really?

"Yeah, it sure did in the dungeon we were in before, but the minotaur just now didn't disappear, did it?

"Speaking of which, yes..."

Toa once told me that the dungeon monsters disappeared after the crusade.

I hear you've read that description in a book.

"Well, I don't care"

Disappear or not, but either of those things is fine.

Except if it involves the secrets of this dungeon...

Passing some classrooms, we go down the hallway.

Then...

"Masamune -"

"Oh, I know"

- There was a monster.

"That's..."

We hid behind the pillars.

And that, and that and walking blood crawling on my feet alone, I saw the monster.

Keep your eyes peeled.

"Undead species, walkers."

That's what Sufilia said in a whisper.

Well, in a nutshell, it's a zombie.

I don't care where you're from, you just look like a zombie.

That connects the first to fourth floors of this building, only one walking in front of the stairs.

"Is a walker a common name?

"Yes, from the looks of it, I thought you were definitely a walker."

"What kind of undead species is that?

"It's one of the classifications of monsters. The undead are basically supposedly born accidentally mediating corpses. As you can see, it's a rotten body and this awful smell."

Sufilia said so, covering her mouth and nose with her hands.

"I'll do that on my own. You two aren't willing to do it anyway, are you?

Like Sufilia, Toa covered her mouth and nose.

"Nem... I don't even have to ask."

Nem had a bright blue look and fluttered.

"Dear Nito?

"Hmm?"

Sufilia called me when I advanced my legs to get closer to the zombies.

"Holy attributes are valid for undead species. But the sacred attribute is the inherent magic of Priest..."

"I see... then I have a good one"

I took The Wrath of the Virgin out of storage.

"What's that? ……

Toa asked.

"It's the wand I found in the dungeon before. With this, even I, the healer, can use attribute magic."

"Huh. That's unusual, isn't it?

Speaking of which, Sieg said that, too.

"We're not gonna do this, are we?

I don't need anything else.

Laughing lightly at Toa and showing him, he rode himself out of the pillar and proceeded again with his legs.

And five steps forward, I looked back.

Because I felt somewhat uncomfortable.

You don't have any other footsteps than me.

I felt like there was nobody behind me.

- Then I saw three people who never tried to move, keeping themselves hidden in the shadow of the pillars.

"Hey! You guys come too, it's not just the three of you, is it?

I called for three people with the lowest possible voice so the zombies wouldn't notice me.

Then Nem fluttered up to me first.

Following that, the two behind me also walk slowly.

"What are you doing?

"'Cause I don't want to get too close."

"I told you not to leave. He said he'd get used to it."

Toa picked her nose a little exaggerated and showed me the smell.

I accidentally got a nigga.

And I pointed my wand at the "first" zombie first.

I just got here and noticed that there's a bathroom right next to the stairs.

Kasumi, you can't see inside with the glass door, but you can see the shadow there.

"[Anger of the Virgin (Saint Shine)]!"

A yellow-emitting sphere emitted from the tip of the wand.

It hit the zombie's head and his head burst.

- "" The Walker (LV: 450) crusade activated [the protection of the Goddess]. Choose your loot '"

"Skills first... 'bulimia'"

- "" I have mastered skills [bulimia] ""

- "" Experience gained has leveled Lv: 812 to Lv: 909.

Bounced flying pieces of flesh created a further stench.

"Speaking of which, it's definitely a skill..."

I opened my status and fished for some skills.

"What's the matter......? Dear Nito, Undead... Is the exorcism over?

Sufilia managed to ask me, whimpering.

"No, there must still be a few in the bathroom... there were"

I used my skills' wash 'and washed my surroundings.

I totally forgot that I also had these skills.

"What do you say? That would've been a little better, wouldn't it?

Then Nem pulled his hand out of his mouth as he noticed hah

"... it's okay! It doesn't stink anymore!

Then following Nem, they both took their hands off their mouths.

"Really! It doesn't smell!

Apparently, the two of you would be fine with this.

Fearless Skills!

"How did you do it?!

Toa asked me in surprise.

"I used 'wash'."

"Washing, you mean skills?

"Oh, I forgot I had it. In the meantime, while I'm on this floor, I'll always use this, so that's gonna be a lot better, right?

Then the three took a deep breath with a clear look.

"It's a big deal."

"It's not a big deal! It smelled terrible!

Rarely did Nem get stuck.

"Well, Nem has a sharp sense of smell."

Nem has no choice.

But the two of us need to remember something a little more about patience.

Sufilia grew up in a greenhouse.

Feeling like I heard it, Toa would be something similar.

"Then let's go, to exorcise the rest of the zombies. Even so, it's a LV: 450 zombie."

"Nem does it too!

"Wow... should I leave it to the three of us?

The look on Toa's face when she heard the level was as strong as ever.

"Dear Nito, I'm still fine. Let me think again when something a little more affordable shows up."

That's what Sufilia said.

Let me think again, equals, I won't do it.

"Fair enough, but I don't think there's anything“ affordable ”about it, is there? This is a dungeon."

Even if I say so, I only laugh bitterly, Sufilia.

I don't think I'm going to fight anymore.

Though I'd like you to level up a little for future adventures, if possible.

Well, there's a possibility of fatal injuries even to the extent of a scratch, and if it's level, it doesn't have to be a dungeon to raise it.

"Well, that's fine, then, don't go away, okay?

I didn't pursue it much because I was nervous at first, but apparently I can't even break the tension.

"So, Nem? I'm gonna open that door now, and then you're gonna have to shoot me with all your magic."

"Yes it is!

Raise your arms and answer in a low voice, Nem.

"By the way, Nem. Holy Attributes Can you use magic?

"I can't use it..."

Then Nem said so with a sad face.

"Hey do it! I don't care! Then just fire attribute magic is fine!

"... I get it!

Nem nodded.

You look sad as soon as you have something.

Well, that's all you want me to do.

But why?

I feel like I'm being manipulated to be good by Nem...

"Then I know you're trying to live up to all my expectations, but Nem's done enough, more than he expected. Take some more shoulder strength and relax. Otherwise, you're in the way of something. Well, I'll protect you."

"I get it...... I'm going to try!

Nem's voice becomes even smaller as he approaches the door where he can see the shadow of the human form.

I guess I feel signs of the guys in here.

And I kept Nem waiting behind me and approached the door.

And hands on the door.

"So, let's go?

I checked with Nem with my eyes.

"Just the first one. I'll stop, so if you shoot me once, get away from me immediately."

Yes, it is.

And I opened the door.

"Now!

"[Shreim]!"

The moment I open it, Nem unleashes magic.

That's the zombie lurking inside, hitting him.

"All right! I'll do it!

On my signal, Nem retreated, and the two left reflexively pulling their faces apart.

... you'll be fine now.

"[Erosion Wave" Disparaise Aura "]!

I stepped behind the door (in the bathroom) as I unfolded the magic of erosion.
