Mob, if I were a high school student, could I be an adventurer, too, Leah?

"Hey, Ono."

Master, onii-san...

The next morning, when I saw Ono at the school entrance, I said hello by patting Pong and his shoulder.

"For example, it's okay."

Humma!?

I'll also tell them that the matter of entering the department has passed.

Then Ono's face glowed puffily and his chest softened.

"Thank you. It's really hard to believe... I may not be able to rely on my country this time."

"It's just..."

Just?

"It's almost time... Anna told me that the official entrance will be after the government announces the prophecy."

Hmm?

When I told Anna's story, Ono showed her a little thoughtfulness.

"Oh... I see, that's what you're saying." Okay, tell the manager that you understand. "

"... do you know what that means?"

Well, I guess so.

What do you mean?

When I asked him that, Ono replied, hiding his voice while showing a slight gesture of concern for his surroundings.

”Hmm, maybe... I think the director is going to let me take on the role of summarizing the hopes of joining the club that will surge after the announcement of the prophecy”

"After the announcement of the prophecy, the hope of joining the clan may come... I can understand that, but why should I let you do the tie-up role?" Besides, you can do it now. "

"Well, that's where the delicate control of the people's minds comes in."...... but the masters don't want to warn you about Angormor before the government announces it, do they? "

"Ahh... if the price goes up now, I'll be in trouble, and above all, the guild is stopping me." I don't want to be bewitched by guilds and nations. "

Sometimes the prophecies we witnessed were not fully scrutinized, and the guild told us not to cause any additional confusion.

Of course, there would be no penalties to warn family and friends and encourage them to be prepared, but there was no doubt that guild warnings would come if they were imitated to warn an unspecified number of people.

Worst-case scenarios included suspension of licenses.

It would be fatal if we lost access to the labyrinth in this situation.

That was all that had to be avoided.

"... so, when the prophecy is announced, the school will ask the masters if they knew about the prophecy?"

"... oh, I see. That's what I'm talking about..."

I finally understood what was going on, and I nodded.

But that's just a matter of cutting the white (shira), right?

"However, a hint of mistrust remains." I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't know about one or two stars, but the masters are a professional team with four stars. It's not strange to have some kind of information. There is an image of... In fact, we can't just get hold of the information in advance. By that time, the price of the card will be even higher than it is now, and the sharp one will definitely have suspicions. "

Because I was the only one like that, Ono's words were persuasive.

"Surely... is that possible?" But why would that delay Ono's entry? "

"... there's a habit of not thinking deeply when you can get answers from people." When I have to think on my own, I think quite deeply... "

"Ugh..."

When Ono poked me in the pain, I groaned unexpectedly.

Certainly, I had a habit of listening to people right away without thinking about it when they gave me answers.

"It's better to fix it because it could be induced by a smart guy." Especially from now on. "

"I-I got it... I'll be careful"

“For now, think lightly on your own.”

Encouraged by Ono, I try to think for myself.

............ I see. I think I've figured it out somehow.

"... when a new crew member comes in, it's possible that we'll know that we've been prepared in advance due to the storage status of supplies, etc." Therefore, by letting Ono put together the new members, the purpose is to separate the existing members from the group and prevent them from grasping our intel.

The reason why we don't let existing members lead new recruits is that they may already be distrustful. Therefore, on the sidelines are the same new employees, and in fact, I will let Ono, who had decided to join the team from before, do it. "

"Correct.... I don't really know if it's true, but at least I thought so."

Anna, did you think that far in that instant...? "

No, I don't think so. Originally, we were expecting a desire to enter the club after the prophecy was announced, and we were planning to find a hand that would be convenient for us.

A token named Ono just rolled over from there, so I decided to use it as it was.

But then, is Director Angormore going to use this school as a base?

Haa...!?

I unexpectedly looked back at Ono with a stunned expression.

"To see that face, apparently like that"

Looking at my face, Ono laughs.

"Why would that happen? No, wait... okay." I see, I see. Does that mean accepting new recruits? "

"I don't know what to say." If you don't want to turn a person who wants to join the club into a force, you need to get them into the club. Then there is no risk of revealing that the information was gathered and prepared in advance. Taking that risk and letting it enter the department is evidence of the desire to control the adventurers on campus. I mean.... "

The goal is to militate against the group itself called "school." When Angormor begins, the adventurers on campus will inevitably have more say. If you hug the majority of them in advance, you can control a large number of other students. "

"Of course, if something happens during the day when the students are on campus." Still, don't waste your time preparing ahead of time. Anyway, with or without the acceptance of the Adventurer's Department, the number of adventurers on campus will increase if the prophecy is announced. Well, if it's enough to create another force in the campus, I'll take it in from the beginning. "

... hey, forget about the faction building stuff. You're doing what you can to do that.

Seeing Anna's intentions, I accidentally laughed.

Some people are fooled! I may be angry, but I was reliant on this strength.

In retrospect, it seems that yesterday's meeting was a conclusion based on the school from the beginning.

However, if the members wanted to act with as few elites as possible, they would have given up on the militarization of the school, but I've been paying attention to the conditions of the members from day to day... Anna. They must have grasped our character and made this plan.

Well, as long as it doesn't violate the safety first policy, you can aim for two or three bird eyes as you please.

It's more appropriate as a leader.

”... well, if that's the case, I'll prepare now”

"What are you going to do about getting ready?"

"Well, a lot of things. I'm a little too close to the Adventurer's Department as I am." We need to make a model for the two armies within the present time, right?

The two armies... a group of new recruits.

"I don't know what to do..."

"Don't imitate the Adventurer's Department to find out that you've started preparing in advance."... Anna is a scarier woman than you think. "

"Wow!" Well, I'll take care of the two armies! "

Ono patted her chest confidently and laughed.

After school, we quickly entered the labyrinth.

Looking at us as we head to the rooftop dungeon mart in body armor, we wonder if there are still students on campus.

"Hey, look, man." "You look awesome. Look at the army." "That red-haired girl is so cute, isn't she?"

"Ah, Kanazuki-senpai." After all, it looks like a cool model. "" I wonder if Senpai Kanazuki is the leader? "I'm a professional." "No, that red-haired girl is the department director." "Eh ~? Why?" I don't know. It looks like a very rich daughter, right? "Sponsors?" "Song-taek?"

"Well, I wonder if you'll be able to conquer the labyrinth that we've built in school." "The labyrinth of our school is rank C, right? Does that mean they're all professionals? Wasn't Kanazuki the only professional?" Hmm, if you have one professional with you, you'll be able to enter the C-rank. Isn't that what it's like? "-Maybe so. I've heard of a professional team of one or two four stars or more, and almost three stars."

"Did you hear that? I told Fujiwara-san from group C, Kanazuki-senpai, but she was frightened." "I heard that!" Senpai Kanazuki can't do it at the level of Fujiwara-san, who has a beautiful atmosphere. "

"Ehhh ~. It's too spicy." Well, that's for sure. Even if you can't hang out with that red-haired girl class, it's going to crumble in the complex. "" At that level, it's a bit... standing next to you. "I feel satisfied just looking at it from a distance." "Hey, keep your eyes up ~"

"Ahhh, I wonder if I could join the Adventurer's Department." I want money ~ "" I can't. How do you get in there even though you're not an adventurer? "" If you're a pro, you probably have an extra D-rank card. Ask me to lend you just one piece. "

"You're not that sweet, are you?" It seems that when someone who thought like you talked about creating an adventurer's section, they came and rushed in, but it seemed like they had all the tribes. "" Oh, I see. I heard that you also provide such services in college circles, but I thought it was a one-chan. "

"Well, it seems that the adventurer has been dropped, so it's a high hurdle." "Ah, it's at a level where professionals are enrolled. Kitagawa is also on TV, so it's a big deal." "... Kitagawa, I wonder if this guy is really big."

"...... I just noticed, but it's kind of a mixed-up of people." Everyone else is beauty. "" That person seems pretty amazing as an adventurer, too. I've won the tournament many times, and I think I caught the culprit in the case. "

"Isn't that what Kanazuki-senpai said?" "No, that guy... I mean, the Adventurer's Department caught him." That's why it doesn't seem like anyone is talking about it. "

"Hee, I'm familiar with it." Could it be a fan? ""... yeah, well, a little bit, a little bit. "" Huh...? Seriously..... "

I know that several students are talking about us at the same time because they are thinking, but I don't know what it is.

I only hear it locally once in a while when my name comes up in the cocktail party effect.

Nevertheless, I could feel that the overall atmosphere was not a bad thing with my skin.

The ratio is 40% curiosity, 30% envy and jealousy, 20% indifference over favoritism, and the rest... I just said it is a blend of various evil emotions such as irresponsible rumors and devils.

Thinking like that, he went through the dungeon mart and entered the gate room.

In the gated room, there was a sturdy coin locker that had not been installed a week earlier.

...... Perhaps it was set up in a piercing construction at the time of the renovation of the main building. While passing through Anna with an unintentional face, everyone deposits electronic devices such as licenses and smartphones and passes through the gate.

As soon as we entered the labyrinth, we began to summon each card.

... now it's time to reveal a new Lotus.

"Huh?... What's Lotus like?"

The first person to notice the change in Lotus was the master.

”Ahh... I finally ranked it up to Auspiciousness”

I replied to the master with a smile that made me look as proud as possible.

"That's... Congratulations, but how did you do it?"

The master asked for a moment and immediately.

Well, of course it bothers me.

When it was a B-rank card, I dropped it in a labyrinth around here, and it didn't work.

It's only natural that I don't have to be a master to know how I got it.

At Athena, there was a lot of money in it just before, and it was a face that could be seen as an ant product at a glance, so it was not pursued deeply, but it was not the case with Auspicious Weather.

Because the masters know very well that I can't use an ant product to rank up Lotus.

Of course, I've prepared an excuse.

Initially, I had planned to show off Lotus' abilities, so I didn't think of any particular excuse, but yesterday I decided to tell only Anna a secret for the time being, so we met lightly and thought of a reasonable excuse.

It was a trade between Zubari, Kimaris and Auspicious.

In the upcoming school labyrinth strategy, the Kimaris that can search for carbuncles is an essential card.

When Anna learns that Kimaris is talking about trade, she buys Kimaris herself as collateral for her father's collection, Auspicious, and trades it with Kimaris...

Anna's dad seems to be opposed to her daughter taking different actions when Angormore, so it is a subtly painful excuse, but I wonder if she wants to take the reins of her daughter who tends to run wild by using Kimaris as collateral... "Anna herself managed to strengthen the persuasion by explaining.

Instead, Kimaris, who would be treated as collateral, would not be able to participate in the battle and would only be treated as Garnet's exploration personnel, which would be unavoidable.

By the way, even if you subtract the fact that Kimaris and Auspicious Weather are girls' cards, Kimaris is a little expensive --- rather than a B-rank card, it doesn't triple in value because it's a girls' card --- Moreover, the value of the vassal summon will gradually increase in the future, so for a while, Anna's garnet allocation was turned to me.

Of course, we just have to face it face-to-face, and the allocation will remain as it is.

"Oh, that's..."

"--And is it a drop in the race?"

……

Unexpectedly, looking at me who was looking towards her as a giggle, the Weaving Department nodded in relief.

Is that so after all?

"... why did you think that?"

I asked Ikebu honestly, "If this happens, I won't be able to deceive you."

If I hadn't noticed it and it was on camera, it would have been a disaster.

"No, the other day... when I went to the movies, I somehow felt that way based on your attitude."

"... Seriously?"

Anna and the good, the weave and the good... the girls in my club are too insightful.

Or am I specially easy to understand...?

Holding my head inside, I nodded.

"... oh, actually, I got the auspicious weather during the race."

"There are a lot of things I'm curious about... why did you hide it until now?"

The master asks. Again, it was a natural question.

But there was no need to make excuses for this. All you have to do is explain it normally.

"I don't know if I was hiding it... I didn't have to tell you." Because there is spiritual recursion, it was cheaper to use it as it was when it was lost than to rank it up. "

"Oh... sure."

And the master nodded convincingly... "

"But then, why did you rank up at this timing?" As Maro said, I think ranking up is more risky. "

"Is it a pure question, or do you have any doubts..." The master pursued me strangely and persistently.

"There are many reasons for this, but the most important reason is... I wanted to know if Lotus has any Zero Skills left."

This is also true.

"There is a chance that an A-Rank monster will appear in Angormore this time, right?" At that time, I thought it would be nice if there was a card that could become an A-rank even if it was temporary. "

"I feel like a lot of gambling... but what's the result?"

I didn't answer that question, I just laughed.

"No way... are you still here!?"

It was Anna who looked at my smile and raised her voice in amazement as she watched the process unfold in silence.

She was the one who heard about the fate operation from me yesterday, but she couldn't hide her surprise at the new news.

"Ki, what's the key item?" Even the spirit regurgitation!? "

"No, not yet... but the other day, I ranked it up, and above all, the key items to the A rank are higher than the poor B rank..."

”That's right...”

When Anna heard my response, did she realize she was out of line, or did she tone it down a little?

Do you have a clue where the Spirit Formula Recursion is?

Well, for now. If you're rank B, you'll have fewer places to rank up.

There are few cases of ranking up from B rank to A rank, and since there are no recursive cases of auspiciousness, it becomes a guess. However, if you follow the basic rules of ranking up to now, God who has many things in common with the origin and power of auspiciousness should be the ranking destination.

For example, Ishtar and Eleshkigal, the same two-phase goddesses with a lot in common in power.

"Ishtar... hmm, I can't think of any key items."... what, I'm not familiar with Sumerian mythology. "

Anna was bothered as she muttered.

"Well, I can't help thinking about it right now." If you're lucky, you'll make it all the way to Angormore, and if you're not lucky, you won't be able to make it all the way to Angormore... that's what this class of key items is for. "

"...... That's right. I can only hope you get the [lucky] one."

For a moment, Anna stared out of sight.

"So, today... what's your plan for today?"

"I don't know what to say, but... well, I'm going to try to conquer it normally." Well, I'll try my best to make it as efficient as possible. ”

Specifically?

"For now, we will all go together to the skill seal hierarchy." Ride the Riders and dodge all battles. When you get to the skill seal hierarchy, you go back to the hierarchy and collect the garnet. The other crew members are mappers of a route that is free of teleport traps. This is a repetitive lesson up to the C-rank hierarchy. From there on, it was as if we were going to act in groups. The goal is to go round and round in a month... but if it seems harsh, I might use about one piece of distress in the C-rank hierarchy. Anyway, I want to increase the number of turns to recover garnet. "

Hmmm... I tried to simulate it in my head, but I couldn't find any particular roughness.

It's more sophisticated than the first summer vacation.

This time, we'll use the distress card from the C-rank hierarchy.

"That's because you're more efficient." Last time, I didn't know how long it would take for the D-rank hierarchy, and I wanted to experience the C-rank hierarchy as much as possible, so I used distress in the D-rank hierarchy, but this time I would rather skip the C-rank hierarchy if possible. "

Of course, if I didn't meet the deadline with the principal, I was planning to use the shipwreck in preparation for the deficit... "Anna nodded even more.

Is it the difference between a summer vacation with the main focus on earning experience points as an adventurer and a strategy that focuses on earnings in the future?

There seems to be no objection, so it's time to get started.

Roger that.

― ― ― After that, I broke through the hierarchy smoothly without any particular trouble, reaching the seven levels with skill seals, and sometimes I was around 9: 00 at night, so the game of the day began.

The next day, we break up with the members of the Adventurer's Club who are controlling the skill seal hierarchy, and retrieve one Carbuncle Garnet.

In the process, Lotus' fighting power also rose to 3400, the limit of growth. Carbuncle's experience was one of the reclaimer's intimate privileges.

"The next day, the next day..."

After school, we dive into the labyrinth of tricks until 10 o'clock in the evening every day, stay overnight on holidays, and advance the strategy all at once...

And soon a month passed.
