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

The next day, I was on Anna's way to visit her house.

The Seventeen Nights House is one of the richest houses in Japan today. "How magnificent is the house..."

I wore the uniform I rushed to clean last night (I decided it was easier than wearing bad brand clothes), and I was nervous when I turned to it.

"It's unexpected, it's normal..."

Contrary to my expectation, in front of a small ordinary house, I accidentally pounded out and mumbled.

In a nutshell, is the exterior of the 17th Night Moon House white tofu?

A simple design with two floors, longer horizontally than vertically, and no decorative decorations at all... did I say simple and modern?

The feature is that there are no windows at all on the first floor, and instead, the second floor is covered with a glass surface. Does the glass have a special treatment? There are no curtains, but it can't be seen from the outside.

Although it was about twice as big as the Kitagawa family, it didn't feel like a grand mansion.

The seventeenth night president watched on TV was a flashy impression, but is it a silence in his private life? and leaning his neck... "

Surprised, huh? Well, you can tell by going inside.

Encouraged by Anna laughing deeply, she opened a strangely sturdy door and entered.

"...... I'll take care of it."

Welcome ~

The entrance part was as beautiful as a model room, and there was no sense of life.

Normally, when you enter another house, something drifts like the smell of life in that house, and you think, "Oh, you've come to another house..."

As I thought about it, I went deeper.

……………………

... it's still weird.

Anyway, there is no sense of life in other rooms or even in the living room.

This is really a model room.

Besides, it's strange that Anna is passing through the living room without showing me.

And where are Anna's parents?

Even if a man doesn't like it, I think he'll be there to greet you.

While I was doing so, I went deeper and deeper, and as I began to descend the stairs to the basement, I finally couldn't stand it.

"... hey, where are you headed?"

Of course, I'll give it to my parents.

... I have a bad feeling about this.

In a horror movie, you can show Anna's parents in a corpse or something, this is the pattern.

"When I think of such a stupid thing..."

"Hey, why did you open the same steel door as the Dungeon Mart..."

At the end of the stairs was a familiar steel door.

”No way... is there a labyrinth ahead?”

"No, it's not." This is simply sturdy, so I'm just installing it. "

While I was wondering what she was doing to protect me... Anna was doing strangely rigorous checks such as fingerprint authentication and retina authentication.

The door opens with the sound of a puzzle as if it was a spy movie.

Beyond that... "

"... gate?"

A heavy gate, three meters high and two meters wide, stood at the center of the room.

This is... no way!

Could it be a transfer gate!?

Clarification

Transfer gate.

It was a set of two magic items that allowed them to move between the places where they had been installed.

It is not disposable, but a rare transfer tool that can be used many times, and above all, it can be used outside the labyrinth, so the country bought it from one end, and it was a magic tool that was never put on the market.

This is something that can be owned by an individual... "

"It seems that I bought it from a professional adventurer who is sponsored by me."

"I see..."

Well then, can I ask you to put your hands together?

Huh?

When she saw Anna's face unexpectedly, she seemed a little embarrassed...

"No, I can't use this unless I'm the one who registered in advance." If there's anyone you want to take with you, you need to get in touch with them. ”

"Oh, I see... I see"

I nodded back and held Anna's hand.

... wow, my hands are so soft.

Unwittingly, I suppressed the impulse to gnaw and touched the gate with Anna.

Then the next moment, the scenery warps...

"... glare!"

I narrowed my eyes to the strong light that punctured my eyes and looked around me, it was a strange meadow.

Grass and trees sway, and a pleasant breeze strokes your cheeks.

I smelled the scent of the tide in it and looked back, and there was a beautiful blue sea.

"This is..."

"This is an uninhabited island owned by the Seventeenth Moon House. The house you just came through, it's like a dummy."

"Deserted island... dummy..."

"I can't keep up with too many things beyond my imagination..."

"It's not that special." There's a shelter in your house, isn't there? In our case, it's just this deserted island. "

It's not the same scale at all.

"This is why the rich..."

But if you're senpai now, you can buy one or two deserted islands, right?

"I can do that...... I can do that......"

If you sell one or two of those B-rank cards, you can probably buy them on a small island.

Because the labyrinth is prone to occurring in large populations, there are basically no labyrinths on uninhabited islands.

If you think about the difference between buying a B-rank card or buying a safe land where there is no labyrinth in the first place..., you don't even know what the 17th Night Moon family thinks.

"Well, it's time to head home." It was a bit far on foot, so I had to use my magic tool to get around. It's true that senpai also had a flying type magic tool, right? "

Yeah.

I take out a flying carpet, and Anna takes out a sci-fi ticking motorcycle that she thinks is an artificial magic tool and rides it.

I know it. It's a flying bike that was developed by a domestic bike manufacturer and Emerald Tablet.

That's right, that's right!

Right? Well, I can't use it in the school labyrinth.

When I was flying while talking about such a thing, I saw the real Seventeenth Night Moon House.

It was the mansion I had originally imagined.

A house like a white palace where ten ordinary houses seemed to fit well. There is a fountain in the square in front of the front door and a huge swimming pool with water slider in the garden. There was a small waterfall in the back and a creek running through it.

"Wow, wow... looks like a Hollywood star's house"

"It's just a big lecture for nothing."

Anna looks down at the house in a coolness, while I glisten at a mansion that she rarely sees.

Unexpectedly, it may be inconvenient to live in such a large house.

Land in front of the fountain.

When I walked to the front door, Anna opened the door and welcomed me in.

Please, senpai, welcome this time.

Thank you, I'll take care of it.

The entrance hall was still as wide as expected.

But I wasn't as surprised as I was when I saw the exterior.

In terms of the interior, is it because Mayohiga is as luxurious as it is unbeatable?

Welcome! I brought you here!

As Anna screamed, two men and women came as soon as she made a rattling sound.

One is a beautiful young redheaded beauty who thinks she's Anna's sister. With a clear and gentle smile, he rushed towards us, shaking the symbol of his rich motherhood....... it's a big thing to think of like this, but it's pretty big. I turned my gaze away from the other one so I didn't look too much.

Unlike the woman, the man's face walking slowly looked familiar to me. I've seen it on TV many times, President Tsukiichi Seventeenth Night... that's who.

The face that seemed to be quite exquisite when I was young, it was quite rounded, and the area around my stomach was very puckered. Even so, it is probably due to its vibrant face that I don't get the bad impression of being obese or metabolizing. The actual age should have been close to fifty, but the ten-year-old feels energy enough to look young.

This is the president of a large company that represents Japan. As a result, the identity of the woman who was only visible to Anna's sister standing next to her became limited.

In other words, these two were Anna's parents.

"Dad, Mom, this is Kitagawa-senpai."

"It's Kitagawa. I'm always looking out for your daughter." Thank you for inviting me today. ”

Anna lightly introduced me, so I bow my head and say hello.

It was a line close to a saved sentence, but it was supposed to be a wording that didn't have any particular problems.

... but...

"Huh? How are you?"

Anna's dad muttered deeply.

"Specifically, how are you taking care of me... I'd love to hear it, eh?"

That's why I put my hand on my shoulder and put my face together.

Wow, I just got here.

"When I'm twitching my face without saying anything..."

"--Nahh!" I'm kidding, I'm kidding! "

After a while, Anna's dad smiled and invited me in with a hug on my shoulder.

"No, I just wanted to say this once!" Welcome, and thank you for coming. Get up, get up! "

"Ah, yes..."

"I told you to stop saying that!"

Anna protested, her eyes black and white, and instead of me, her shoulders angry.

"I'm sorry, I can't stand it." Hora, in any case, it's a situation of admiration for a father who has a daughter in a certain way, right? "

"... well, I don't know how it feels, but..."

That's where you show your understanding, Anna. After all, it looks like a parent and child.

“My dad and Anna are bringing their boyfriends home for the first time, and they're up in tension. Forgive him. I'm sorry, Kitagawa-san."

"Oh, no, no, I'll do it."

"I wanted to see you guys once." Hey, Dad? "

"Oh, thank you so much for coming. You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Let's have dinner and chat over a meal.”

“Thank you very much.”

I bowed my head, relieved by the seemingly welcoming atmosphere.

― ― ― ― The dinner at the Moon House in the 17th Night was a real pleasure.

The meal prepared by the dedicated chef Matsumoto, who was hired semi-occupied, was no less than that of the Samtu Star Restaurant. However, I had never eaten at the Samtu Star Restaurant, so I just drank the introduction of Anna's dad. I had to be careful not to devour it.

Even though it's a delicious meal, if the atmosphere on the spot is terrible, the taste will be like chewing sand. However, Anna's dad was a good listener and naturally raised the conversation without distracting the visitor.

By the time the meal was over, I had completely forgiven Anna for my dad, and somehow even had a sense of closeness.

Is this charisma?

The president of a large company was a terrifying mastery of the human mind.

“How was my dinner table?”

"It was a very pleasant and delicious dinner. Thank you very much."

“That's good. I'm sure Matsumoto will be delighted."

- After eating.

I was accompanied by my dad, Anna, who wanted to talk to me.

The Seventeenth Night Moon Mansion was luxurious in appearance and its contents, including a playroom with billiards and darts, a theater room like a small cinema, a training room like a little gym, and even a bar counter thought to entertain visitors in an indoor heated swimming pool, making it feel like a resort hotel.

"This island has magic tools embedded in it." The island itself is covered by a barrier of signals and transparency. I also operate the current a little, and I make sure that the garbage does not flow to drifters, of course. We have to go through the transfer gate to get to this island. ”

”Heh...... Is that the Angormore measure after all?”

"Of course. We've built some sturdy buildings, but high ranking monsters have their limitations." What you can't find is the best defense. ”

"I see..."

"There is also a magic stone generator for large commercial facilities in the basement, and the facilities of the mansion are all electrified, so there is no need to worry about electricity. Rest assured, the magic stone stockpile is underground for two hundred years."

"... yes?"

I felt Anna's dad get caught, but for now, I nodded.

"With regard to cleaning, this mansion itself is an artificial magic tool, so it automatically cleans dirt and dust." So there is no need to clean it in particular. There is a magic tool that makes raw garbage fertilizer, so just stick it in properly. There is a magic tool in the basement that turns other garbage into power after it is magically activated, so you can deal with it. "

……………………

"It's still weird..."

At first, I thought I was just proud of the facilities in the Mansion, but this mouthpiece sounds like...

"Well, you can ask Anna about the rest of the details." It's a thoughtful house, so I'd be glad if you would take care of it. ”

"That's... What do you mean?"

When I suddenly stopped and asked, Anna dad looked back and saw my face.

"I'm telling you, this house and this island is for you."

That face was so true that it was not a joking face.

Well, I can't say it's free of charge.

"... I can't afford to buy such a magnificent mansion island by island."

"Oh, don't worry about the money." Just a few requests, that's all. "

"Please...?"

"That's right. When you have to, you have to take Anna alone and escape to this island... that's the condition of giving up your home to this island."

After all, that's what I'm talking about... "

You need a place to escape if you fail, such as the school base you're working on right now, right?

"... I will answer you from the conclusion."

When I said that, Anna's dad smiled.

The smile resembled that of her daughter, Anna.

"Yeah, that's good. It's quick."

"I'm going to tell you this story." If you have to, I promise you that you will escape with your daughter to this island. ”

“Great, I'm relieved.”

Having said that, Anna's dad stroked her chest, but she seemed to be relieved.

"There's just one... no, two things I'd like to ask you."

"Why didn't you force me to take Anna with me?" I wonder why it's you...? "

"... yes"

That's Anna's dad. You know, I have a lot of questions.

“I'm sure Anna has already told us that we're going to take refuge in a special shelter. In terms of design, it is a shelter that can withstand the attacks of B-rank monsters, and high-ranking government officials can escape, but it is doubtful how safe it will be....."

"Why? It sounds safe to me."

"Even if it is safe to attack from the [outside], I don't know what the [inside] side is." Think about it, a lot of people with high rank cards are going to run into closed spaces? ”

"Ahh..."

I was deeply convinced.

I see... that could be more dangerous than outside in some ways.

The fact that there are people with B-rank cards is no different from the fact that there are B-rank monsters in a sense.

A large number of high rank cards seems to be safe at first glance, but if you turn around, that's all the bombs in one place.

Moreover, most of them are people who have only ever stood on top of people.

Just imagining it would have been tough, but it would have unfolded a complicated and monstrous human pattern.

... In the Warring States Period, there were many cases where they dared to separate houses and join both factions, so that no matter which side they won, the houses would continue.

It's a bad idea not to take Anna to the shelter forcibly, but in a way, it's insurance.

By the looks of it, Anna and Mom were still young. If it was a child, I could make it in the shelter.

"So... why did you kill yourself?" I should have given it directly to Anna... my daughter. "

When I asked another question, Anna's dad shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm sure my daughter won't take this house or the island." He was fortunate enough to look like his wife, but the contents were just like mine. Resistance toward parents... no, I should say that my aspiration is strong. I can't stand being under my parents' protection forever. Now that you have acquired the strength to be independent, I'm sorry that it's good to receive a charity from me. "

"Hmm... it seems like I've been using the power of the house for quite a while now..."

"That's right, I'll use anything I can when I'm immature." I did, too. It's just a far cry when you're self-conscious. Rather, if I hadn't used my connector before and had done it on my own, I would definitely have taken it to the shelter. I'm just gonna die in vain. "

I see... I'm convinced. It's true that Anna is like her father.

"There were places where I didn't need it until I was a junior high school student." It looks like you lost the tournament in a good way. [M] When I started high school, I felt reliant on my parents. ”

Hmm... sure enough, I had the impression that Anna didn't like being seen as her father's seven lights when we first met.

However, when we met again in high school, we were rather able to make the most of our home connections.

I was wondering how my mood changed, but apparently, it was my opponent who inspired me.

But I'm not sure how the battle with me worked.

"However, even if you decide to become independent, if you rely on your parents, it will hinder your growth." I will not cooperate in the future either.... but my daughter is cute, too. One last thing... I wanted to give you a gift. "

Is that the house and the island?

"If you take this kind of thing, you won't leave Anna soon, will you?" When I saw it, I saw it as a type that cherished people once and for all, such as in-laws and people. Even in a black company, you can't leave as long as you have seniors and bosses. "

Is this a compliment? I don't think you've been praised...?

Anna's dad laughed when she saw my face, perhaps with a complicated expression on his face.

"Of course I'm complimenting you." There's no one more reassuring than my daughter. "

"I-I see..."

You're not the president of a black company, are you? I couldn't ask.

"In-laws are strong and talented as adventurers." I have my luck, too. Above all, a woman is not so much a man of color as a crowd. As a partner of my daughter, well, it's very close, but with your p * ssy, but... I just said it's a point. "

There were some points that caught my attention, but nothing would be more highly regarded by my father, who loved my daughter.

Apparently, I was recognized by Anna's dad.

"I asked for my daughter, Kitagawa-san"

Yes.

I gripped Anna's dad's hand hard.

"Didn't my father do anything strange?"

”Nh... nothing happened”

On the way back, Anna, who had come to see me off, asked me as soon as I was alone.

”Hmm... that's fine, but...”

Having said that, Anna is looking at my whole body.

Anna, Dad, I don't trust my daughter.

and smiling bitterly... "

By the way, did you get this house and the island safely?

"Huh!?"

I unexpectedly saw Anna as a jerk.

Anna laughs when she sees my face like that.

Ah, that's what you said after all.

"You, listen... no, did you put your finger on it?"

"I mean, my father would have..."

This guy... he saw everything.

Anna, did you invite me to your home today because you thought your dad would give me this house and this island?

I mean... "

"You... if you know that, take it honestly." I even took the trouble to give it to me because you didn't take it.... "

Anna smiled meaningfully when she was dazzled by the fact that she was a patron unfaithful person.

”Fufu... my father wanted to give it to me, senpai.”

“How's it going?

I was dumbfounded, and Anna opened her hands wide to point out the whole island.

"My father wedged this island... and by entrusting the love of his parents to his seniors, he prevented them from leaving us. A loyal subordinate who will protect my daughter on behalf of those I can't protect anymore. That's what my father really wants today.”

……………………

"I see, I see..."

I finally understood the sequence of events today, and I was deeply convinced.

Anna, did your dad invite me here today... to bequeath to my daughter a loyal and trustworthy war effort?

Moreover, the cost of doing so is only a day's worth of land and a day's worth of land in this house that we no longer use.

I was able to make a professional adventurer one of my daughters' subordinates by practically abandoning them.

What a cost performance. This is the president of a big company...... and it makes me smile unintentionally.

Above all, the hardest part of being forced to smile is that I will protect Anna as I intended.

It had to be said that the person's eyes on the seventeenth night of the president were correct.

"But..."

If you say that to me, you'll ruin my strategy, won't you?

What were you going to do if I rebelled that I would definitely get on with Anna's dad's intentions?

"My sincerity." Senpai trusted me and told me the most important secrets. I don't want to put that person through my father's schemes. "

"I see..."

"That's why, please don't hesitate to take this island without making a promise to my father." It's too cheap for your abilities, but this is the kind of thing I can give you from the House of the Moon on the Seventeenth Night. "

"When I say that, you don't think I'm going to run away, do you?"

When I asked a little meanly, Anna lets out her cute tongue.

"Ah, did you find out?" That's right, considering your personality, I thought you might be able to escape with your friends and family. Well, it's important to me whether it's due to a promise made to my father, or whether it's due to the will of senpai himself. In the heart of a maiden. "

The maiden's heart... bitterly smiles.

Since when was the existence of this island part of the plan?

"Hmm, let's start from the beginning." The base of the school has always existed on this island. ”

"I guess," he nodded.

Given Anna's thorough preparation, it's unnatural not to have a sub-base outside of school.

Even if I can't rely on the Moon House in the 17th Night, I thought it would be odd if everyone bought a house in the country and made it a sub-base.

Well, I thought that if the school was attacked, it would wander without a specific base, so I didn't even wonder...

"However, it was only a matter of whether that would be passed on to senpai or not." After my father told me to call you home, maybe? So, when you revealed your secret, we decided to give this base to you. Even if my father doesn't give it to senpai,

"I see... what if I didn't tell you my secret by the way?"

When I said that, Anna laughed.

At that time, there was no such spoiler.

In other words, Anna had become Anna's pawn, as my dad had thought.

No, well, it doesn't change the outcome.

But this is a perfect escape, isn't it?

"Right.... it belongs to senpai. What can I say about my brother-in-law? But it would be helpful if you didn't say anything else about this place for the time being."

"I know, I know."

... if we had to, we would definitely buy jealousy and disgust by having a place to escape.

Besides, this island is truly our last escape. I can't help but use it if possible.

For this reason, I wanted to make sure that the school, which is the base of "Table", was fully established.

A magic tool or card that can produce food and more while having an alien world class alien space type skill. I still want cards with production capabilities such as dwarves, and I don't have to have many gear-up skills or vassal summoning skills. I have as many cards and magic tools as I want.

If there is an announcement of Kudan's prophecy, the price will also rise, and there is really no time... "

And when I thought about it, I suddenly noticed it.

"Speaking of which, it's too late for the government to announce..."

"... yes. I was scrutinizing the prophecy... but it's not strange that the excuse for the world to go through it hasn't been around for a month or so, so it's time to announce it."

Maybe you're not going to hide it until the end?

"That's true... I'd like to think there's no such thing." If so, it would be quite a mess. "

The absence of a government announcement means that the government is not concerned with public criticism... that is, it is giving up the Angolan convergence itself.

In that case, it was not only possible to launch the worst militia, but also to strengthen the protection around them.

It may be said that you have seen too many movies and comics, but it is also possible to concentrate your forces in some cities (or in otherworldly-class cards) to create a safe zone...

I don't think the militia will follow orders to abandon people and protect those in power, because most of them will come from the common people, but there may be a certain number of followers if they are told to let their families live in that city.

Well, isn't it time to announce?

That's what I want to wish for, isn't it?

― ― However, a week has passed, and two weeks have passed.

... even though the month of October was coming to an end, there was no announcement from the government.
