Free Life ~Record of the Struggle of a Different World General Merchant~

My gaze pierces my back...... who are you staring at me for?

Not the students. Those guys don't do that. The students' interest is in the kind of helpful skills I'm writing on the blackboard right now, and never myself.

By way of exception, François seems interested in me too... but I'm in class now. That's right. That guy, he sees me alone, he's not doing anything.

I'm not even Dr. Leon. That guy looks at the whole classroom, not one specific place, when visiting a class. Watch the class as if it overlooks the content of the class, the reactions of the students, the work of the teachers, etc.

Dr. Leon is a good man. Vaguely, I'm just watching, I don't do anything. To that evidence, that guy's class rating is more accurate than anyone else's. Dr. Leon's class rating, which summarizes only the rational points, is very easy for me to understand.

In that sense, I don't hate that teacher. I like it a lot more than getting around and talking long stories. In fact, I was quite pleased to hear that Dr. Leon was in charge of the 2nd S. I'm glad you're not a so-called "great Easwind-sounding" teacher -... and now that doesn't matter.

Now I'm talking about who's looking at me with a stabbing gaze.

Damn, who... no, well, yeah. The truth is, I know. But I didn't want to look directly at reality, and I was thinking about a few other possibilities.

Yeah, I know. I mean, who's staring at me? Because it's so obvious...

"Um, Dorothea, dear? What...?

"Doctor, you may have to wear 'Dear'. Here, I'm a student. And you're a teacher."

"Oh, really...... So, Dorothea,? Anything you want to say to me...?

"No."

Look at me scattered cancer, you won't have "no"...... but shut up because putting such a scratch in is going to make it easier.

Dorothea Isabel...... managed to bartolore. She says it's that third princess of Bartoloa, a beautiful girl with silver hair and blue eyes. The long, rusty hair goes hand in hand with a balanced body, which is beautiful when done.

But for the most beautiful part, I would be scared if I did a face with a crease between my eyebrows. It was true that when a beauty gets angry, she gets scared... but it's my first time with Mr. Dorothea, isn't it? Why are they looking at you like you're a parent's vendetta?

Me, you did something wrong......... oh, I was. Three years ago, I snuck into the fortress castle, the underground treasure trove, in King Bartoloa's capital, and let him fish all kinds of things.

But that's looking for a way to get back to the original world, and I didn't steal anything. I'm not hurting anyone, and I'm not breaking anything.

In the first place, the only people who saw my face were the knights of security and the little princess. Arrangements looked vicious. Deformation was past, and only people who could tell were sketching, and in the first place, I was supposed to be dead in the Devil's Mountain.

The Iron Kaufman hunted me down and stepped into the Devil's Mountain, but there's no way I can cross the demon where the Chaos Dragon lives. By now, it would have disappeared from the world without leaving any dust.

As adventurers, I sneaked around, and the Bartoloan knights kept their mouths shut and said: He even referred to us as "assholes who snuck into the castle, but were cornered and self-destructed on their own".

... Well, that's good. If you think you're dead, it won't be too much trouble. In fact, the arrangement had been removed a long time ago, and the investigation six months later showed the perception that "ahhh, some idiots were like that".

So why are Dorothea and I even caged in sight like hostility and looking at me? Yusuke tried to turn Negrije. Princess Lori didn't have to, and you and I don't have any contact.

... from that princess Lori, were you listening? No, no, there's no way I can have a clear image just talking about it. No matter how many words you overlap, you can't paint a real person in the back of your brain.

Then why? Why is he staring at me? If you were going to snag me as a bad guy, you'd already be calling for an escort knight... ahhh, I don't know! I have no idea!

For what I don't know, I feel horrible and uncomfortable.

As if sitting rather on a needle, morning sitting time passed......

"Yes, today, in the school labyrinth basement, on the fifth floor, in the Great Hall, we will do a practical form of combining hands."

In the end, we entered the afternoon internship hours without knowing anything.

I mean, until lunch time, I didn't, uh, stay stared at by Dorothea. No matter how many times I ask you if you need me, I can truncate the bastard saying "no"... already, translated wakame.

But I can't help but worry about Dorothea forever. It's an internship, an internship! Now it's time for internship! The extra thing is, shut it out! Though there are safety devices in the labyrinth, it's training to sift a real sword. We need to concentrate.

... But the school labyrinth has also become useless only by the way students work together with each other...

All the guys in this class have finished knocking down to the lowest level of BOSS, and are on a level enough to knock down the miscellaneous fish with a gorish push. This school labyrinth had a wide variety of enemies, but I don't know what to do when I learn patterns and what to do...

In fact, the students who were so troubled and suffering during the offense now say, "That's an easy win. Hmm," or "I can't believe I was stuck in a labyrinth of this magnitude".

Pathetic, the first school director to painstakingly create a school labyrinth for the growth of young people......

But, well, I can't help it. This is also the result of the "growth of young people". For the first director of the school, in a sense, it would be the main expectation. You might be happy with the way the students are today, who affirm that they can "afford" the school labyrinth.

I don't know if I'll ever care about that. Let's move to the fifth basement.

"..................... is that it?

Weird. The portal gate for moving to each floor does not start. Touching the demonic stone provided for start-up does not even produce a start-up sound, whereas the gate appears.

"Is that it?

No matter how many times you try it, the results are the same. The demon stone does not respond and the gate does not appear. Whether you slap it in the palm of your hand, try to rock the pedestal, yeah, it's not like it's gonna come along.

"Doctor? Is there a problem?

"Oh, oh, François. The portal gate won't start."

"Well...... is it a fault?

"Uh-huh, maybe..."

"Doctor, is something wrong?

You noticed the anomaly, and the other students stopped by. Tell them that the portal gate is unlikely to work, apparently not going to fix it any time soon.

Then, skinning Valerie in the second seat, the students said this.

"Oh, my God, if you're on the fifth basement, you'll be right there."

"Right. Similar things, whether you're there or not, such as demons in the upper echelons. There won't be any problem if you go ahead with the kick"

"Rather, it'll be just the right warm-up!

I see, indeed. These guys right now would be able to get to the fifth basement right away. Originally, it was necessary to warm up. The hassle is gone, maybe just fine.

I thought so, "Well, do you want to run and go to the fifth basement floor," I just tried to tell the students...

Out of nowhere, I heard a laugh.

'........................................................................'

"Huh!? So, who is it?

indescribable, suspicious laughter...... it sounds creepy as it sounds from the entire hall of the entrance to the school labyrinth.

... No, it's not. The source of laughter has been concentrating on one point. From the wall by the stairs that leads downstairs, it is becoming audible. And from there...

"............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... easy win? Can you afford it? Something similar, like an upper level demon, whether you're there or not?

"Oh, you...!?

A bald-headed middle-aged man appeared, wrapped in tuxedos, as if seeping out of the walls.

Students breathe and marvel at the way it appears like a ghost. In front of them, the slightly obese shaped man rocks his saggy chin and laughs even more.

'I had no idea the students would say that..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Oh, you are, the first school director......!?

Next to me, François is surprised to see his hands on his mouth. Well understood...... no, there's a fine bronze statue standing in the courtyard, and I decorate the school building with portraits, so no, but do you notice?

Yes, this is the first director of the Royal Gran Feria School. The man who built this school labyrinth and transferred consciousness to the lowest level BOSS, Alter Ego.

That's what I heard before when I showed up from inside the Alter Ego. I remember wrapping my tongue around wondering if I would go that far for education.

... but why would someone like that show up now? Are you here to fix a faulty portal gate or something? That guy, for once, is the janitor here... but things are weird. I'm laughing, but my eyes aren't laughing.

What the...?

"That's the first director of the school, right? How the hell...?

'Yes, I'm the first school director. The one who left his consciousness in this labyrinth for a backward education.'

An old man smiles calmly at François's inquiry... after all, his eyes aren't laughing, are they?

But the students are so excited to raise their voices that they don't realize it because of so much surprise.

Leaving my concerns behind, the dialogue between the first school director and the students continues...

Gentlemen, what do you say? What about this school labyrinth? Let me hear your opinion without abomination. "

"Yes! I think it's a great place to work out!

'Oh, you don't have to be nervous. You can answer me whatever you want, okay? For example... Mr. Valerie. Wouldn't it be possible for you to tread alone?

"Yes! The first school director! Enough, I think it's possible!

'Right, can you? Great growth. So, isn't this labyrinth toothless for you? Honestly, answer me. Look, don't hesitate, honestly, okay? Come on, answer me.'

"Yes… just a little bit, not enough, I think"

'Well, well... how about the others? This is like a survey. Frank opinions make me happy'

"Right...... to be honest, I thought it was too monotonous. There's been a pattern of traps and demons."

"I thought there was a lack of coping with the nature of the trial, which would diminish in value if we got over it. I have the impression that change is scarce."

"I felt like there were few vicious demons in the school labyrinth like I would learn in class. Honestly, it was just not enough as our opponent"

Once we cut the weir, we'll get out. We'll get out, just an opinion that's not abominable, popping out of the students.

With that in mind, the first director of the school nodded with a grin, "Yes, yes..." and...

'It's thoughtful too, you kids!!

And I opened my blood-running eyes and drank them all.

'I know! That you are insulting this labyrinth!! I built this labyrinth!! These garbage worms!!

... I can't even call a student a garbage bug... First school director, you're pretty good.

"Easy win or extra time? Not enough? I don't even know what this labyrinth is worth. Pumpkin heads are soaking up too much!!

The first director of the school who turns his face bright red and angry...... well, I know how you feel. If the students think of the labyrinth that I've worked so hard to build, and the students at the time insult me to "super spare (laughs)," I'll be pretty, too.

But I'm an educator, too! You can't hold hands without doing anything before an incompetent student!

The first school director spreads his hands wide with a bah and looks around the students in a daunting gesture.

'So I remodeled the school labyrinth! A wide variety of powerful enemies! Labyrinth with increased complexity! And I put a limit on forcing your level up to 100!

"Become...!?

Oh, the students are in a hurry. The floor effect of the level limit certainly wasn't in the school labyrinth. It's an unknown experience.

'Come on, if you can get over this, let me get over it! Phew, phew...!

The first school director who disappeared, just saying what he wanted to say. Old man, you can't grow up......

"Doh, what do we do...?

"What to do... In order to quell the anger of the first school director, you have to do as I say..."

Goddamn students...... I can't help it. That's all, because that old man was so powerful. But...

"This is such a monstrous plot, can you hold on! Report to the teachers first. I'll let you go!

As the students were bewildered, one of the boys, Abel, was about to leave the school labyrinth first.

Yes, there's nothing disciplined about it. The first director of the school is upset, and I don't know what kind of livestock labyrinth is up. You don't have to bother trying such a tedious labyrinth.

That's what I was thinking......

"Huh!? Ahhhh................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

At the foot of Abel, who laid his hand on the exit door of the labyrinth, a huge hole slipped, and he fell there. Huh? What's this development?

"Heh heh heh... let it go. Nobody gets away with it. If you want to get out of this labyrinth, there's no other way out than to tread. What if he falls off or tries to escape... this is what happens'

I can hear the first school director from nowhere. And at the same time, some footage is shown on the wall. There......

"Abel!?

Earlier, Abel, who was bossed into the pit, was seen restrained with some tentacle.

"No, stop it! What are you gonna do with me! With that tentacle, what are you going to do!? Ya, stop...! Stop, stop, whoa, haha, stop, stop!!

Abel is tickled all over her body by her fine tentacles. Especially under the armpits and behind the legs, they do it with care. The relentless tickle caused Abel to sprinkle tears, sweat, and whoever she was, and keep laughing.

"Terrible...!

To such a tragic sight, one of the female students groaned with a trembling voice. Sure, terrible. Terrible in a double sense. It's not like torture. It's terrible to tickle, but it's too much to be able to show off the half-naked look of a bastard who was tickled until he turned ahead-faced. It's also a punitive game for the watching side.

What do you say? Now you can be serious too... Come on, I'm waiting for you guys among the top BOSS! If you don't want to be, you're gonna make it this far! haha....................................................................................................... '

As well as the inaudible laughter of the first school director, Abel's footage was interrupted.

As soon as possible, stirring students...... well, I can't even do it. No one wants to be. Some female students have imagined a tragic future or even tear-eyed ones.

Uh-huh, it'll take a little while to calm it down, this is...

That's what I thought, arrow tip, my cool voice sounded like I was going to pierce my temper.

"What's the problem? You're just gonna have to step over the top, aren't you?

It was nobody at the Granferia School who said anything reliable. It's Dorothea, an international student. She looks around at the students who are taken lightly and goes on.

"If you're not sure, wait here. Because I will defeat that madman and set you free."

That's what I said, Dorothea, who doesn't even wait for a response, turns her back on the students and starts walking.

But there was a man who threw words on his back. Yes, again, it was François who raised her defeat.

"Wait. Nobody says they're unsure. There's no way I'm gonna be in a two-S."

To François's voice, Dorothea looks back. But I doubt where that eye is. Take that for yourself...... No, Francois gets more pneumonia when you receive it as a challenge to the Granferia students.

"A challenge from the first school director? Fine, I'll be happy to take it. Glad to see the sudden emergence of a wall, a student of the Grand Feria. Isn't that right, folks?

"Oooh!

"That's right! There's nothing to be cowered about!

After all, that blonde twirling lol lady has leadership. By showing confidence, he put the rattled students back on their feet once and for all.

"Yes. Then let's go. It's a waste of time to be here forever."

"Yeah, even if you don't tell me. Come on, guys, let's go."

"Ohhhh!!

Dorothea, for some reason, stared at me once.

Francois took the lead.

The students, following the two, went down to the upper basement floor of the school labyrinth.

... Am I left alone? Though temporary, I'm a teacher......

Well, at times like this, "Doctor! What do I do!? Are you saying that you are thorough with relentless doctrine to avoid being swarmed?

But I can't even look at it at all, I miss you...... should I be happy with my students growing up?

"Ma, no. I'm me. Take it easy."

I'm familiar with the first school director, and in the first place, I'm not making any insulting remarks about the school labyrinth. You're not gonna let me be evil like that...!?

"You're lying!? It's 100 to my level!! hey, why......!?

'That's right. You're guilty of the same crime. "

"Become, what no!?

If you noticed, there was a first school director standing behind me. He laughs invincibly and continues his words.

"Your skills teaching methods and knowledge of the labyrinth are very good. To the evidence, the students learned new skills as they looked around and stepped through the school labyrinth with the momentum of dashed bamboo. However, the students have thus grown and forgotten the importance of the foundation… '

"What!? Is that my fault? It's easy to stay in shape because of your country..."

"None! Absolutely not! Come on, you too, carve something of the foundation into it!!

Suddenly, idiot! And make a noise, and the floor at my feet cracks in two. Underneath, naturally, is the floor below.

"Whoa, whoa!? And, hey, yeah, yeah!!

A satisfied first school director's smile slides up. No, you're not. I'm falling down.

"Whoa, whoa!

Stretched hands, too, just grabbing the sky. No, no, no, no, no! The most important thing to avoid in a level limit dungeon is jumping into a place you haven't been able to confirm! Pitfalls are the kind of thing you shouldn't get caught up in!

What if we're surrounded by monsters? What if the room itself was a trap? Oh, the more I think about it, the more I can only float a nasty future!

But in a level 100 body that is less powerful than usual, you can't even resist. In the end, I fall to the bottom floor with nothing to do.

You mean you just have to be... something like this has happened before.

Whether I was hungry or objectified, with a strangely chilling mind, I fell into the upper realm of the demon-modified school labyrinth.
