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

"This is..."

The next morning, when I went to school, I frowned with discomfort.

It has been a long time since the school had a distinctly different atmosphere than before.

First of all, even though it is school time, the number of students is obviously small.

It feels about two-thirds to half better than a memorable sight.

In addition, I felt that the gaze from the students towards me had changed a lot.

Previously, curiosity and envy accounted for more than half, and there were bad feelings such as jealousy and deviation, but they were not so strong, and many students were indifferent.

However, in the first three weeks of school, the indifferent students disappeared. About 80% of the students had strong respect and envy, and the remaining 20% had strong jealousy and hatred.

Some of the former students lowered their heads by the end of the hallway when I passed them, while the latter students deliberately hit their shoulders and could hear their tongues.

There is no positive or negative difference in emotions, and both are obviously not a response to students attending the same school.

I even felt close to the relationship between the top and bottom of the defense, such as the response of the former.

As if I had become a foreign object, Yonomiya-san greeted me with the same smile as before as I arrived in my own class while I felt uncomfortable not being able to wipe it off.

Besides, I feel relieved inside, and I take a seat.

"Ooh, Malo. It's been a long time.

"Good morning, Yonomiya-san.... where's everyone else?"

While exchanging greetings, Yonomiya smiled vaguely as she asked if she could not see the other karst-top groups.

"Ahh... maybe everyone isn't coming today either?"

"What? What do you mean?"

"No, we're all diving into the labyrinth and not coming to school lately."

Huh? You mean I wasn't the only one who was out of school and diving in the labyrinth?... I don't think so.

I asked in horror, looking over the classroom, where nearly half of the seats were vacant.

"...... Could it be that these vacant seats were used to conquer the labyrinth?"

"Not all of them, but I guess that's pretty much it." Now, about two-thirds of the class are adventurers. "

"Seriously..."

Isn't that the Adventurer's Club's fault...? Ordinary classmates can't buy D-rank cards so easily, and I can only think of them as being rented by the Adventurer's Department.

"Is that just this class?" No way... it's not about the whole school, is it? "

"Hmm, I think we have a lot of classes, but about half of the school is already in the adventurer's section..."

……………………

I was exhausted.

We have more than 600 students in our school year.

Half of them... they're not part of it anymore.

”That means about half of the school is diving into the labyrinth without even going to class?”

In that case, it's not the level of class collapse.

"As expected..." It looks like it's rotating, so I think it's about half of it. "

So it's like a third in my class and a quarter in the rest of the class.

"I'm still resting a lot..."

Doesn't that mean anything to you, Sensei?

"Hmm, that sounds like a lot of disagreement among the teachers." The teachers also feel like they are in the middle of the Adventurer's and Anti-Adventurer's Sect, right? "

"Wow, it's spreading to the teachers..."

"Hyoli-chan is the head of the adventurer's club, but she's always diving into the labyrinth to lead the students." The classes are all self-study... other adventurer faction teachers are similar, and on the other hand, the anti-adventurer faction teachers are even here to watch them... "

"That's right, the teacher is disqualified already..."

Even in high schools called anti-social training schools, teachers are more enthusiastic.

That's right, you can be an anti-adventurer. I have colleagues who are pushing themselves into the labyrinth. You're not frustrated, are you?

I understood my gaze on me until I got here. In other words, the students are divided into Adventurer's and Anti-Adventurer's Sects.

The former pays respect to me as an adventurer, and the latter hates the Adventurer's Department, which has collapsed the education system halfway. Some of the latter wanted to enter the Adventurer's Department, but they were also dropped in the interview.

... well, no. Let's just ask Anna directly.

"... about one-third of the class is going to the labyrinth, but I feel that the vacant seats are more prominent than that?"

"Those are the children who are resting due to their family situation." It seems that going to school itself is dangerous, and there are quite a few houses where the whole family has moved to prefectures and islands with few labyrinths. "

Ah, I see.

Certainly, it's time for such a family to emerge.

Although the school itself is safe thanks to the Adventurer's Department, many students do not know it, and attending school in the first place is a risk. There are statistics that the number of labyrinths is proportional to the population, and I can understand the option of moving to an unoccupied land.

... especially now that some teachers aren't even in class. From the point of view of the average student, there is no reason to come seriously.

On the other hand, why is Yonomiya-san at school?

"... why is Yonomiya-san at school?" No, it's not a bad idea. "

"Ahh, I'm, uh, you know..."

Yotsunomiya-san dyed her cheeks slightly and looked down.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...

No, wait. Don't get me wrong. Remember the black history of middle school (lesson).

I thought there was a pulse in the woman in the next seat, so what happened when I tried to talk to her every day?

Remember the words "I talk a lot every day, every day..." and the disgusted look on your face.

... yeah.... I'm calm.

Hmm, I almost couldn't talk to a girl for another year or so.

Misunderstandings, no, absolutely not.

Well, Hora, I don't have a shelter because I'm in an apartment, and it's safer in school.

I see.

Hora? There's a good reason for that.

Here, "Maybe you want to see me...?" If I misunderstood, I would have died instantly. Dangerous. Dangerous.

There's no labyrinth, there's no dangerous trap in everyday life.

... I feel sorry for you, songwriter.

Shut up, Lotus.

If you sympathize, give me a cannojo...!

What, you haven't given up making her yet?

Don't give up.

... no, if I had a lover right now, I'd be in trouble.

Shit, the frame I really want to protect is full of family and friends, and I can't hold it anymore... yes.

"Oh, yes, I'll give it to you."

I handed her what I was going to give to Yonomiya-san.

"This...!"

Yonomiya-san, who received six D-rank cards, opened his eyes and looked at us.

As expected, I can't accept it.

Yonomiya-san looked around and said.

"Just take it."

"But..."

"I'm not giving it to you, I'm just keeping it."

"Hmm, I'm still sorry... but I'm scared." How much will you pay for this? Shit, my hands are trembling... "

"Yeah, well, I thought it was a substitute for amulets." If Angormore happens during school or holidays, I feel like I can safely evacuate. That's why I'm sorry, but I hope you don't do any adventurer activities. "

"Either way, the labyrinth is scary and I won't let it in anymore."... amulet? "

"Also, this is for Mr. Niu Kura."...... I know Shinto has become an adventurer, but is it also Mr. Beef Kurashi? "

"Ah, there's also a silent song. I think Shizuka is out of school. Because she's a landlord, and she has a nice shelter."

I see. Well, just give it to me.

"Hmm, I'll do it myself... no, no, I get it. Thanks, I'll keep it.... but is it really okay?"

“Yeah, I'm going to give it to all my other close friends.”

Ono and Io-san will receive a C-rank card one at a time. Six D-rank cards will be distributed to everyone in the karst top group, including the East-West Combination and Yonomiya.

I've collected enough cards for my family in this four-star promotion test, so it's time to spin some cards with my friends.

Sometimes it's just for the safety of my friends... but trustworthy people after Angormor will be more valuable than cards.

But is it okay to distribute that much?

"I'm fine. I'm fine."

I dared to respond with a light attitude, like buying lunch bread.

It may feel a bit like gold and bad, but it would be better if I didn't feel sorry for the other person.

However, half the students in the school are in the Adventurer's Department...

When one of my classmates turned out to be an adventurer, I seemed to be making a fuss.

"I can see that this will happen if Angormor approaches soon..."

I looked across the classroom where the vacant seats stood out.

... I'm just a little sorry that I can't taste the school routine anymore.

Celebrate your practical breakthrough, Kamperi!

Together with Anna's voice, we rang a cup of juice.

After school. I had all the early members of the Adventurer's Department have their usual family celebration party.

"No, I'm sorry, I'm putting Malo in a lot of trouble..."

As soon as I had a toast, my master lowered his head.

"No, no, it was a good experience."

"However, to complete a practical skill with a single shot..." Malo is already in full professional class. "

Until now, the public has said that it is completely a professional class, but I got a certification from a real professional master, and I became quite proud in my heart.

"The written exam and various conditions have been simplified, so why don't Malo become a four-star at this momentum?"

"Hmmm..."

"Well, well, that's a good story for now, isn't it?" We've all gathered, let's talk more fun! "

Anna interrupted, wondering what I said.

Did you get some interesting cards or magic tools?

Anna's eyes, which she said from an angle that was not visible from the master or the weave, told her not to say anything extra.

Hmm... I can't say that I can't drop the B-rank card, but if it's hard to say what I gave to my family, the rest...

"That's right. Arachne, Goddess, Mole... I wonder if this is the place?" There was nothing particularly interesting about magic tools. The cold iron came out, so I sold it for money. "

Oh, it's certainly interesting, isn't it?

“Arachnas. I thought we had the production system, but it was biased towards the ingredients, and it was plainly missing the elements.”

“Hmm. It would be great if we could make our own clothes.”

In the name of Arakne, the women's team...... the tension of the weaving section, which is particularly dedicated to fashion, rises.

After all, I'm worried about things around here.

"As for me, I think the mourning deity is also interesting."...... I'd like to see if I can revere the school itself when Angormore starts. "

In response to the Master's words, we looked at each other with three faces.

Mourning the school itself? "I didn't have that idea..."

"... it's definitely worth a try."

If you can capture the internal artificial magic tool and make it into a sacrifice, it may not be destroyed by machine destruction, or it may be cured by healing magic

If it's possible, the value of the miracle will jump up.

"There should already have been data on the mourning of artificial magic tools." I'm sure that the machine destruction is no longer effective. "

“Do you know what happens to objects that were just placed inside the base?”

"Until then... I don't even know how much bigger things I can make into gods in the first place." I'm probably working on it in some lab, though. "

"... yes, I'll look into it myself."

Anna wrote something on her phone so she wouldn't forget, and then took the list out of her bag and gave it to me.

"So, I'll share the cards and magic tools we got." Do you want something? It's going to be a buy-in. "

"Nnhhh"

I just rushed through the C-rank card and rare drops.

Magic card of transfer (2)

"Hmmm... there's not much drops compared to the number of garnets."

"This time, I can't go back to earth easily, so I decided to run through the labyrinth and break the policy all at once."

Anyway, I dodged the battle itself by prioritizing moving forward, so there were fewer drops, but instead, I felt like I was right in front of the second lap. However, when it comes to cold ironing, it's soaring, so I'm aiming for drops as a matter of priority. The selling costs were used to purchase cross-spatial skills such as Mayohiga. ”

I see... Cold ironing is a better source of funding than garnets.

"Oh, Vivil dropped it..."

"Yes.... would you like to buy it?" Sure enough, the Dragonet was reacting to the Vivir Diamond, wasn't it? "

... sure enough, my Myla was reacting to the Vivi Diamond.

When he first defeated Veeville, he didn't hesitate to say it because of the gathering of humans (a form in which the devilish public worked negatively), but he said that there was actually something that attracted him to diamonds.

In other words, Myra now has five kinds of spiritual form recursion.

Veeville Diamonds have a unique role to play in eliminating causal distortions rather than using them on key items, but the story is different when Veeville's cards are dropped.

I thought about it a little bit and nodded.

"I see. May I buy it?" And this beard cut, too. "

"Is beard cutting a problem?" There's no one else who wants it, so it's okay, but if you want to use it without buying it out, you can use it by senpai. "

"No, I'll buy it. I have a few thoughts." How much is it in total? "

“That's right, I'll check the price and contact you later.”

Well, I guess it actually came out of the garnet funds.

"...... I've been overheard, but what do you mean by this school?"

Haha, when I asked, Anna looked up at Achar and the heavens.

Have you noticed it after all?

"I'll notice that."

Are you stupid?

"Anna, it's time for you to pay your tribute." I'm going to dredge it up for you, senpai. "

"That's right, you should be a little angry with Malo." I've done too much of anything. "

Anna scratched her cheeks with a wicked look at the weaving section and the master, who were constantly turning against the enemy.

”Y-you know, I didn't do anything in particular, but... I didn't say anything about diving into the labyrinth until after school, and the number of members depends on the flow”

Is that so?

"Yes.... the new recruits who saw me and my seniors diving into the labyrinth until after class, they copied it out on their own."

"Ahh..."

Well, if we take the initiative and skip classes, then some students will come out to imitate us.

"So, why is it that half the students in the whole school become adventurers?"

"Hmm... First of all, the new recruits wanted to dive into the labyrinth of the school." For them, the image of a labyrinth = school was strong, and the idea that they would feel safe if they had a professional.... but I can't take you with me, can I? "

"Well, that's right..."

Just a new American adventurer with a D-rank card can't keep up with the harshness of that labyrinth.

I don't even think I can break through the first level of desert.

"But I can't say that straightforwardly, and I was wondering what happened when the new clerk pulled me over, and Ono-san came over."

Ono-san?

Yeah, I didn't mean to take you to the C-rank labyrinth, so at least give the new recruits a chance to repay their D-rank cards......

"Hmm... that means you're taking me to the D-rank labyrinth?" Instead, lend me some C-rank cards. "

When I said that, Master looked a little surprised.

"Maro, you know what I mean."

"No... it seems like he's thinking about it."

I felt somehow uncomfortable about being able to understand Ono's thoughts.

At the end of the day, the new recruits' desire to enter the labyrinth of the school is likely to be a guide for Ono, and his performance is likely to be his specialty.

"I decided to drink the proposal, and took Ono-san and Kaori-jo-san, who were the only two stars among women, as the leaders of both men and women, and rented both of them a C-rank card. In addition, since I went to the labyrinth outside the school without a professional lead, I decided to ask Tachibana-sensei, who had been a candidate, to deposit a Mayohiga and lead it as an advisor.”

I see... That's what the rentals of Jeanne-D 'Arc and Maggius are for.

Also, by letting the teacher have Mayohiga, even the new recruits who are all new to the club will be able to stay over and play strategy without stress.

This is how the new joiners can get D-rank cards on their own... but there's been a problem here.

Problem?

"Yes.... the member who got the card started renting the card to a friend."

"Ahh... I see"

Well, of course that's what happens.

It is no surprise that there is someone who rents D-rank cards to close friends, just as I handed out D-rank cards to Yonomiya-san and the East-West combination.

Of course, some people rent cards to the opposite sex in bad faith. You ask for a body in return.

“When Ono-san reported it to me, I decided that there were many problems and asked the student who started renting the card to return the card I had rented. Of course, the student who confiscated the card asked his friend to return the card he had lent to him.

Now that we have largely returned to the original shape, we have decided that the same thing will happen again. We have decided to ask the newly obtained D-rank card to return the card rented from us.

As a result, we decided to lend the collected cards more actively to students who have no personality problems. If there are to be more adventurers on campus indiscriminately, it is better to control them at least from the Adventurer's Department.

The new members of the club got the D-rank card and came to return it, and we rented it to more people who wanted to join the club..... "

That's why the number of adventurers on campus is increasing in the cycle.

I see.

I nodded deeply as I discovered that more than half of the students on campus had become adventurers.

Sure enough, how to increase the number of adventurers?

It's a good model case for mass-production of one-star adventurers if there is even one three-star adventurer.

No one has taken the same approach so far, probably because there is no benefit on the side of lending the card.

At the risk of taking away or losing your card, the return is only a full month's rent and the money you owe.

If Angormor weren't so close, and I needed a little help, no one would.

However, in this way, Ono and the others who are actually looking after Anna will have more influence on the new recruits than they do... well, she will understand that well, and she won't have any problems.

"Right? You didn't do anything particularly bad, did you?" That's right, I admit that I increased it all at once, but everyone was anxious that I didn't have the power to fight, and there were no dead people, not to mention those who were seriously injured. Everyone was happy. Senpai, don't you think you can bow your head in the hallway? "

... hmm.

Well, surely you didn't do anything wrong, did you?

When I heard that more than half of the campus was taken in, I thought that it was too reflexive, but there are parts that can't be helped if I listen to the story, and above all, the increase in the number of adventurers leads to more students who can protect themselves as they are.

If more than half of the students in the school hold cards, there will be fewer violent opponents, and the number of students who stop them will also increase.

As a result, it will lead to security and stability on campus throughout Angola.

The school collapsed beyond the collapse of the class in the middle of the year, causing trouble for the decent teachers of the head teacher, but studying at the school is useless in Angormore...

"I can't help it..."

And that's when I convinced myself.

"----But I took away the other students' lives."

A sharp word cleared the field.

Ha, look at the master.

The master stared at Anna from the front with a steep expression.

“It was a peaceful and precious last day for ordinary students.”

".................. hehe"

* giggle *...... my expression disappeared from Anna's face.

Rapidly, the air in the yard cools down...

"...... If it's such an important day, why didn't everyone take it more seriously?"

"What...?"

Anna said with a faint sneer to the master, who frowned.

"I mean, isn't that right? Isn't it obvious that this routine won't last forever? Even on TV, great scholars have repeatedly warned us of the end of the labyrinth theory. But most people in the world, turning away from such reality, have been delusional that the same tomorrow as today will always continue. I'm not prepared for a crisis, and I don't enjoy everyday life as much as I can. I've been wasting my time lazily. No, I keep wasting it. without realizing that this peaceful time is a hobby...."

……………………

"I've taken care of you." While preparing for Angormore, I went to the same high school as my best friend, and I created club activities with seniors who deserve respect, and in the summer, we had fireworks together and stayed at the school... We have tried to do more than just prepare for the crisis, we have tried to make the most of our precious everyday life. ”

It was Anna who had a warm smile to make her feel good this year, but she turned around and switched her expression to an explicit mockery.

And I told him to throw up.

"Have you taken away the daily lives of the other students?" Huh, you know that. After all, they're like pocket tissues that are distributed all over the city, and they've been spending their days out without making a fool of themselves. You're taking care of your little daily life now, aren't you? "

Anna stared at her master.

As if to spit out the anger that was inside him, he struck off his teeth and said,

"---- The mobs who have been lazy so far, please comfort yourself with the daily routine you've been wasting in the coming winter days...!"

A heavy silence falls on the spot. Anna's strange sense of intimidation prevented anyone from saying a word.

Eventually, the master told me to squeeze it out.

”...... That's what you really mean”

Anna responded with a nicking smile... but a cold smile that was distinctly different from the usual.

What if it is?

"Helping everyone in the school and the neighbors... is that a lie?"

"No way! I'll help you, and I promise you a much safer and more comfortable treatment than any shelter there."...... It's a cute, cute candidate for the future (worker ant)! "

The air was unusually heavy.

Me and Woven Section were sweating coldly on their cheeks, shoulder to shoulder, hiding their breath in one corner of the field.

Why is this happening...? I was supposed to have a party to congratulate you on my practical test breakthrough.

".................. Phew"

The master was silent with a hard face, but eventually he sighed heavily.

"... if you are willing to help the neighbors and the students in general, you will have nothing to say from me."... no matter what you think in your stomach. "

When she heard it, Anna deliberately stroked her chest and struck her hands with her bread.

"Ah, good! It's ridiculous to fight over such 'nonsense'." Let's get along, we're friends. "

"That's nonsense..."

The master muttered.

———— After that, it was no longer a very continuous air of eating, and it was disbanded.

I walk to my home alone and think.

"I didn't know Anna had such poison inside..."

You're taking care of your little daily life now, aren't you?

"This hurts my ears..."

Maybe Anna didn't mean to tell me, and she said that because she didn't think of me, but this was exactly the word that pierced me.

Because I'm one of those Killigiris who didn't take care of Anna's everyday life.

I noticed the importance of everyday life recently, and now I am spending the last few moments of my life.

Besides, if Lotus hadn't advised me, I'd have wasted it. It was a serious idiot.

I know how Anna feels when she gets angry.

As far as I know, no one has cared as much for every day as Anna the Seventeenth Night.

She was one of the few people in the world who recognized that peaceful everyday life was a precious commodity.

From her point of view, the people who lazily spend every day seemed to be making a terrible waste.

But... on the other hand, I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing.

The reason is that "everyday life" that I have spent without realizing the importance of everyday life is never meaningless.

Relaxed, calm hours and innocent smiles exist only in daily life.

... Anna is being chased by time.

It's like a guest packing a favorite into his belly with a Viking time limit... it's like thinking of slowing down as a sin.

Master, there's a place where you can relax and have a nice nap in your spare time... so you can say the opposite.

In any case, this time, there was definitely a groove between Master and Anna.

Since both of them are realists, personal feelings will not interfere with the Adventurer's Department's behavior, but it is clear that there is too much difference in the thoughts.

"Hah ~..."

I sighed unexpectedly.

It really hurt to have a groove between Anna and the Master when Angormor was approaching.

Even now, a peaceful ditch has been created.

What will happen when Angormor begins to make even tougher decisions... "

... no, no! I don't know what's going to happen!

How long will it take for someone else to do this? If a ditch has arisen between you two, I'll stand in between them. It's not just me, it's the Weaving Department.

It is not uncommon to be able to make grooves in relationships and trivialities.

It's important to know how to get around at such times.

In that case, how long will it take to repair their relationship before Angormor begins?

Please, I hope there won't be any more incidents that will widen the gap between the two of you...

I offered a modest prayer for the night sky.

———— It was that night that we received a public offer for the A-rank labyrinth strategy for all adventurers.
