Mob, if I were a high school student, could I be an adventurer, too, Leah?
Episode 14: Total Damage 1206 Million Yen Nari
- - There was a voice talking to me in my sleep.
"... to catch that dog bastard?
A well-eared, but busy voice. And I said, "Of course I am."
'I'm telling you, that dog son of a bitch is going to ruin himself one day, even if you don't do something about it. From what Atashi has seen, there is no future for him to escape. No, should I say I'm not willing to run...'
It doesn't matter. This was a matter of will. I abandoned Lianhua and pawned her and ran away. If I end up like that, it means I'll stay on the run forever. That would distort my path a little.
If you say it in Lianhua style, you'll have escape habits.
If I'm going to get a raider, I'd rather not. On the contrary, it might be possible to relate to the end of it.
"Kukukuku...... I see, are you mean. Then I have no choice. Well good luck, how far you can go...... I'll look you through those eyes (...) '
Signs of something approaching and touching. So I woke up.
In the morning, it's depressing for everyone.
As long as you don't like school or work as much, it's a billion-dollar thing to endure drowsiness and be ready to go out.
The tension really drops.
Especially... all the more so if I had done some disgusting news in the morning.
'- As for the extinction of the labyrinth, it has not yet been found out why in detail. The national research team is on site, but the labyrinth that was definitely there seems to be extinguishing. Attention has been drawn around the world to the possibility of controlling the number of labyrinths if the causes of their extinction can be explored.
Next news. Around 2 p.m. the other day, a first-grade boy, who was coming to camp in the river with his family, drowned in the river and died. The flow of the river is generally mild, but the centre is deep and the flow is steep - '
That's all I saw, I cut my gaze off from the TV.
... It's been three days since I was attacked in the labyrinth.
On TV, the labyrinth was cut off in the extinct news. It is only natural that the labyrinth has vanished for the first time in the world.
Initially it was me who was alert to media coverage because I was in an extinct labyrinth, but so far there was no sign of them coming. Perhaps the police and guilds are protecting my personal information. I don't know what they ask, so I can't answer them.
On the other hand, it was light but touched on the multiple cases of missing persons in the labyrinth.
Most of all, it's not about serial killers raiding adventurers… "As the number of non-returnees in low-ranking labyrinths is increasing, adventurers are careful. Especially to avoid the onslaught alone" to such an extent.
It seemed to me that my testimony alone could not affirm that the other missing persons were the work of the assailants, and that I was wary of being dived underground by the assailants by affirming that it was the work of them.
More than I knew anything, it's natural for the country to assume that the raiders hold the key to the labyrinth annihilation, and I can nod to be cautious to make sure we catch the killer.
However, it did not mean that, as an guild or police force, we would not alert ourselves to anything more than there were already a large number of victims of disappearance, and it seemed that the result was only this form of caution.
As for who was actually attacked, I don't think we should dig deeper and draw attention to it... but I couldn't say anything about all this because the future of humanity depends on it.
In the end, I guess it's more than self-responsibility as an adventurer's principle.
If we don't dive into the labyrinth, we can avoid the danger.
My mother spoke to me on the pretend as I stuck to my breakfast toast with that in mind.
"... you, are you okay going to school? I just got discharged yesterday."
I answered that mother's worrying glance with a feeling of itching and a little guilt.
"It's all right, thanks to the drip and the rest, I'm in good shape."
"But you went too far into the labyrinth and fell overworked, didn't you?
"Ahhh, that... I just got a little tired of running into a monster house after I didn't sleep well with the onslaught of staying"
"Well then... refrain from the labyrinth for a while"
"I know."
When I gave it back briefly, I cheeked the ham egg wide enough to deceive.
… For this series of incidents, I only explained to my family that "after finishing the labyrinth attack, I fell overworked and was transported to the hospital".
That's not because the police are stopping me from talking about the case... but because they would surely tell me to quit the adventurer if I told the truth.
Our parents are not relentless enough to not stop our son from hearing that he was just about to be killed by criminals in the labyrinth.
When I was admitted, I didn't feel like the police might have given me details, but I don't know why, but the police didn't tell me anything in particular, so I was fortunate enough to have the facts twisted for convenience.
I had some guilt in lying, but only on this matter did I really want to put Keri on my own hands.
... Though, I wasn't going to try a revenge match right away either.
Now that the main members are devastated, it is no longer just stupid to go through recklessness to challenge that raider below his former power.
The immediate goal was to earn the cost of reviving the Lianhuas while first exploring the killer's information on the ground.
"... but at least a hundred million, huh? Huh..."
I sighed unexpectedly.
In the current market, Empusa starts at six million at the lowest price, with seated children starting at 40 million and women vampires starting at 80 million.
At the very least, 126 million yen. It is an amount that just looks dizzy.
Besides, this is only if you can buy it for the cheapest price. Prices rise and fall due to demand and possession skills in the market. Honestly, if I could buy it at this price, I'd be lucky.
In particular, it was plain painful that the overall market for sitting children was rising because of Lianhua's activity.
By the way, my current immediate cash assets are about 35 million yen. The breakdown is as follows:
-Moncolo and other income: about 12 million yen.
· Uncashed tread reward demon stone: about 17 million yen.
-Dropped item Demon Stone: about 6 million yen.
There are two Lycanthrope cards and a hundred or so D-rank cards for all sorts of other sorts of magic items you have acquired in previous Labyrinth attacks, which will be my entire property.
It also sounds like a fortune when you hear a hundred dozen D-rank cards, but it's actually just cheap cards like Lilapse and Oak, and all the stuff that sells to the guild doesn't make it a big deal of money to get bought off.
How you can find someone to buy exorbitant magic items and cards will be the key to the resurrection of the Lotus Huats.
"Well, then it's time to go"
"Be careful, you're still sick."
Leaving the house with the sound of your bag dropping off on your back.
It's about the next Moncolo game that bothers my head as I head to school.
I can't even get into the game just as I am now, more than the cards I can use are limited to people-shaped girl cards. For now Yuki and Suzuka needed one more girl card as a confirmation.
The quickest thing to do is revive Meir first...... I was anxious about the power of war in the CxDxD combination.
And I just want to increase the number of games in order to earn more revival funds than this has happened... how long can I hide Lotus Hua and Eliza's loss by fulfilling it?
The TV station hiring me for Moncolo is often the master of a starry card called Lianhua.
If you find out that it's lost, then naturally the ratings from TV stations will go down, even though how much can it be revived......
"Oh, Master Yan. Good morning, how are you feeling now?
When I came near school worried like that, a familiar voice was called from behind me.
"Ono... good morning. I'm fine with my health."
"Phew...? A dark look for it."
"Oh......"
I tried to mislead him for a moment and immediately changed my mind.
To him too...... should I say it for once.
"Ono, give me some ears"
"Eh, that's creepy, what the hell"
"Fine. Actually, that's why I was in the hospital..."
I whispered to Ono and told him that someone attacked me in the labyrinth and managed to escape.
Ono, who was a nigger face at first, also quickly gets a strong face.
"... are you serious? The injury... doesn't look like it. What about the cards? How much damage did they do?
"Huh? Oh... Three pieces: Lianhua, Eliza and Meir.... What happened to Kansai Valve?
"You don't care about that! That would wipe out the main C-rank cards! What about the other humans?
"No, besides you, it's just my junior Anna"
"So that means you haven't notified everyone in your class yet, huh?
When I nodded, Ono exhaled a deep relief.
"Ha-ha-ha... is that critical safe then? Kitakawa... not Master. I'd rather not talk about it anymore. Yeah. He's in my class, especially in Lion Hall."
"Lion Hall? Why?"
When I questioned him like that, Ono gave him a blatant look.
"... Master, I've been distracted too much by the school lately. What can I do? Well, I know it's a small world compared to adventurers... but where do you buy people's grudges? I don't know why the most horrible bachemont in the world is human."
…………………………
I stuck my words in that Ono thing.
Anyway, I just realized the other day the horror of a monster called a human being.
The most natural enemy to man is man. That's the same story in and out of the labyrinth.
Sure, Ono's right. Strong adventurers are limited in the labyrinth. In the outside world, it's no different than a very normal human being. The power to say things there is the power of numbers. The power of public opinion.
No matter how many adventurers there was another world, there was no way to neglect the world of schools.
But... resentment of people, huh?
In my brain, Nanshan's face only passed for a moment.
No way, no way......
Just past paranoia, I admonished myself.
"... I'm sorry. I remember the liver. So, what happened to Lion Hall?
"You just know the Lion Hall guy's been after Karst Top for a long time, don't you?
"Don't be a fool. That's how much I know."
There won't be any guys in our class who haven't noticed. About that time, Lion Hall's thought at the bottom was obvious.
"Then of course you realize that it is Master Lion Hall who is particularly hostile, right?
"Also, of course...?
I got acquainted while pulling my face off.
...... eh? Lion Hall took me? Why? Wasn't it Shinto he was hostile to!?
"Ha ha, you know what I mean?"
Ono sighs deeply when he sees my face like that.
"Well, to be precise, it feels more like an attack than hostility."
"... Isn't that the same thing?
"A little different. Hostility is dominated by personal feelings, but the target of the attack is profit. Yeah? Explain it from scratch. Right now, there are five of us in our class with curst-top qualities. Shinosomiya, Shinto, Ichigo, Lion Hall, and the Master."
"Hmm? What about Mr. Taurus or you?
Our class karst top group should have been me and Shinosomiya, Taurakura, Shinto, and Ono.
In response to my question, Ono shook his head quietly.
"No, we just belong to the Karst Top group and we're going to karst top. I don't know what to say, but Mr. Tauruo belongs to Mr. Shinoshimiya, and I'm a master's prick."
"Really?
Me with my neck.
It was not a good story to learn about Ono and Niurukura, who had been karst tops since a year.
"Um, speaking of which, you know what I mean? Master and Shinomiya were definitely karst tops in another class. But it is possible that Mr. Taurakura and I would not have been Karst Top if we had done a different class than our master and Shinosomiya."
So, I'm convinced, too. I see, is that what you're saying?
Indeed, if Mr. Taurakura was in a different class than Mr. Shinosomiya, I don't have the image of him at the Karst Top. Because the appearance is worthy of a karst top, but not the personality to come forward. The fact that she is in the Karst Top group now is a strong aspect of being pulled by Mr. Shinosomiya.
In the case of Ono, the opposite is true of Mr. Taurakura. I'm willing to aim for the karst top, but I only have a weapon that depends on my surroundings: my ability to communicate.
If any of your classmates had comparable communal power to Ono, or other karst top members hated you, it would be hard to get into a group.
There is also a rare two-star adventurer on campus, but it is significant that he was able to appeal to the weapon with the title of my apprentice, who is also a three-star adventurer in Moncolo.
But Shinosomiya, who is a reader model and charismatic, Shinto, who is handsome and has a track record in tennis, adventurer and on TV, I would naturally be in the karst top of any class.
"It is in this class that I and Mr. Taurukura are the karst top yards, but one and Mr. Lion Hall are different. I would have done karst top in any class other than this one. All I can say is that Shinomiya and Shinto were unlucky in this class.
Ichigo and Shinosomiya were the same reader model, and Shinosomiya only became the karst top because Shinosomiya had more support for the women in her class.
The lion's hall on the other hand is above Shinto if handsome with Yankee balls on campus. Shinto became the karst top at the national level with tennis... and because of his master. "
Me?
"Actually Shinto and Lion Hall are different types of good-looking guys to put in the karst top group at the same time...... blah blah blah blah blah Master is such a DQN guy, don't you like it?
"Oh yeah...... honestly"
I don't like the Oraola system like Lion Hall when it comes to the sad habits of Yin Ca.
There's nothing else to freak out about because I usually deal with something so scarier than a human being, but it was only painful to be with a race that was constantly intimidating my surroundings.
"I guess I read the feeling of such a master. Shinto and Lion Hall's loathsome refreshing sportsman type took the form of pulling himself away from him. But I didn't give up until Karst Top."
I see...... did it have that background that Lion Hall temporarily gave Karst Top away?
"I think I've figured it out so far, but the truth is, there's no five to two karst top fights, three to two. I can bring it to the same number just by beating one down. Moreover, as a matter of fact, those three are not obsessed with the class karst by concentrating on the model, club and adventurer industries, so if you can bring even the number to the same number, you're likely to be able to flip it. And they were after me..."
"You mean me."
"Yes! Unlike Shinoshimiya and Shinto, the master, who only possesses the weapon of adventurer, sees a gap in his appearance."
... I'm a mob face anyway. If I lose my card, I'm just a person.
"I think I've tried to get a lot of bad reviews out of all the creepy geeks I collect all the girl monsters and all the creepy misguided misguided guys as soon as I became an adventurer, but I don't know how it went with you. I started out in Moncolo, and when I started doing adventurers, I said something about changing the atmosphere, and the popularity from women came out there..."
"Huh? There, Tokoro. Learn more"
It was me who devoured the popularity from the girls, but Ono laughed with his nose and put this through.
"Well, that's why I haven't been very successful in trying to smash my master down before, Lion Hall, but what if I heard that the C-rank card was destroyed at that time or something...... you know what I'd do?
"... oh well. I mean, I didn't wipe out all my C-rank cards. I've got three more."
... Two of them are for redemption, and one was ranked up at some point.
Knowing no such insides, Ono looked like Pocan and Dove had eaten a bean cannon.
"Ha? Three more C-ranks!? Tell me about it! I'm worried, I lost it!
That's what I'm saying. Ono and I are going to slap him on the shoulder pretty seriously.
"But, well, still, I'd rather not say the main members were devastated. Yeah. There's a lot of guys out there who say it in the shadows... and it wouldn't be fun for a master to hear that right now, would it?
"Well... na"
I can't help but be ridiculed for losing my card because it's my fault. But if they even made fun of Lianhua's struggle... I wasn't sure I could stay calm.
I was getting to class sometime while we were talking about that.
Is it because it's still early time? Students attending school are also rare.
In the Karst Top group, you can only see about Mr. Shinosomiya.
She was waving her smartphone in her own seat while she slept, but eventually she started waving her hands at us.
"Oh, Maroo... and Ono"
"Morning."
"I'm an asshole."
Mr. Shinosomiya looked suspicious compared to our faces when he glamorously slipped through Ono's penetration.
"It's rare for Malo and Ono to come to school together."
"Meet me at school by chance.... Where's Mr. Taurokura?
When I said that as I looked around, it was unusual for my girlfriends, usually with me, to fall apart on something... Shinosomiya gave me a slight look.
"Maroochi is still a zocon to the still song. Shizuka is the morning practice for those who play music. Hola, it's near the sports festival."
"That's not true. But yeah, it's May, sports festival."
I answered while losing some tension.
Physical Education Festival. It wasn't a very welcoming event, especially for those who don't like exercise, like me.
Ono teases me when he sees me like that.
"Does the master think this year's sports festival can be quite active? You've worked out quite a bit since you became an adventurer, haven't you?
"Well, I'm a little muscled up about running and stuff, but blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm not a muscle for sports."
"You mean marathons, schematics and plain events, even if you can be active? Well, we don't need to be active until the festival."
Shinosomiya asked me about our conversation with her hand on her chin and thinking about something.
"... hey, do adventurers need a lot of physical strength or something after all? Knowledge of cards and maybe."
I answered only a few questions about their unusual attitude, which I don't usually ask very deeply about adventurer business.
"... No, if it's about the F-rank labyrinth, I'll make the minimum health as I dive, and I don't even need that much knowledge.... suddenly why?
In this inquiry, Shinosomiya began to talk as she lurked her voice to avoid leaking to her surrounding classmates.
"Yah, actually, during this time, I got a story about whether or not to be an exclusive model..."
"Ooh! Finally!
"Stop doing it! Congratulations!"
Ono and I, cheer small.
Blah, blah, blah. I'm oblivious to the fashion world. I knew Mr. Shinosomiya was doing a reader model, but I didn't even know how much she existed as a reader model.
But since it's about the exclusive model story, I guess I can't fly one head compared to the other reader models, even the amateur me guessed.
But Mr. Shinosomiya was in some kind of trouble.
"Ya... that wasn't just about being an exclusive model, it was about being an adventurer model..."
"Adventurer model......? He's like a model version of Adventurer Idol? Like REIKA?
- REIKA. It is now the top idol of immense popularity, mainly among young people.
It's called Adventurer Idol because it's an idol but a powerful adventurer with a four-star license.
Originally a professional adventurer in the form of a professor, she had been active since the amateur era in editing and posting online to make it easier to see how labyrinth attacks were going.
Videos of idol-class beautiful girls adventuring the labyrinth, sometimes funny and sometimes life-threatening, sometimes had a sense of video editing, which increased the number of views accelerating.
The video posting site, My Tube, overflowed with videos mimicking her videos, and only when did people dive into the labyrinth for video posting purposes become known as Dungeon Tubers.
There was no way the media would let her go like that, and when I thought I was gradually going to be on TV, I sang out songs and stuff, and at some point I was idle.
The genre Dungeon Tuber is now spread throughout the world using Japan as a source, and overseas it was no exaggeration to say that REIKA is more famous than the Prime Minister.
Seeing its popularity, the entertainment industry is apparently taking a leap to create a second and third REIKA, but so far no talent has emerged enough to follow REIKA.
I guess the story of coming to Shinosomiya this time is one of the projects in that hand.
But unlike REIKA, Shinosomiya wasn't originally an adventurer.
That is.
"... you're also asking me to make my adventurer debut for a catch copy called Adventurer Model?
"Soyuko and"
I searched among the dungeon tubers for a REIKA class beauty but couldn't find it, so on the contrary, I made the beauty an adventurer, he said. I guess that's what this is about.
... I see now I know why Shinosomiya is looking different than usual.
"Is it going to be critical to force adventurers on the talent you belong to?
Ono says as he frowns.
Under current Japanese law, "whoever it is must not be prevented from willingness to become an adventurer, but whoever it is must not be forced to become an adventurer".
The profession of adventurer is supposed to be entirely free will.
This was said to be influenced by the intention of the United States, the biological parent of the profession of adventurer.
"It's a problem if the office makes talent an adventurer, but it's not a problem if you've been an adventurer since before you walked into the office. I mean, that's the thing."
"I see...... but how much money do you have to be an adventurer?
"The registration fee passes the first job gala forward. Cards are let to rent by the office. No compensation if you lose your card while working in the office. However, if I lost it while I was in private, I felt like I was paying..."
"Ugh......"
Ono and I, roar.
Honestly, the conditions for being an adventurer are pretty good. Because it's practically free to be an adventurer. But that's a story in the case of someone who originally wanted to be an adventurer, who would just feel risky, especially for those who aren't interested in adventurers.
"... what do you think of it as Shinosomiya himself?
"I... honestly, I find it fascinating, but I also find it scary. After all, the reader model and the profession change in terms of rewards, and Scout tells me that if I get this story, it will color the rewards for what the adventurer is doing, and it will be easier to get a job.... but when you look at Malo and Ono, the adventurer looks gorgeous and it must be really pretty scary and dangerous,"
"I see..."
If that's the case, there's one answer I can give you.
I have heard rumors several times since I was a year that Mr. Shinosomiya's house is not very wealthy.
You think I lost my father in an accident when I was in elementary school, and I'm taking care of my brother and doing my chores instead of my mother who goes out and works?
Apparently, starting a reader model is just as helpful to the household at all.
I had never heard from her personally what the truth was, but I could also understand how she would eat into an attractive reward if the rumors were true.
"In conclusion, the story is, you should definitely say no now"
I told him I was so clear. Ono nods silently next door as well.
"Seriously? Why...?
Shinosomiya-san asks with an anxiously shaped frown.
Well, what a persuasion. After I got a little lost, I subtly fainted and decided to tell her about the incident.
"... I hope this isn't too much to say around, but they've actually had guys doing things like rookie hunting in the labyrinth lately"
"Seriously!?
Shinosomiya's face blues.
"I've never seen news like that...?
"I don't know if you've seen the news that there's a lot of missing persons in low-ranking labyrinths. It was a way of saying it felt unexplained, but that seems to be the crime committed by human hands. I would never recommend being an adventurer right now, even if it's a labyrinth anomaly by conceding a hundred steps"
... If you still don't seem to give up on this, I'll have to tell you that I was attacked.
Even though the captain is stopping me, I can't replace Mr. Shinosomiya's life.
When I'm secretly solidifying my resolve...
"I can't help it, do I have to give up? Ahhh, it was an attractive condition because of it."
Mr. Shinosomiya looks up and sighs. Good, have you given up? I glance at Ono and stroke down my ho chest.
"Well, everything is a species of life..."
I said that in retrospect of this failure, which trapped me in the immediate interests and devastated the main members.
You've learned something about me like that, Mr. Shinosomiya, a strange look.
That's when she opened her mouth.
"Hey, guys."
"Oh, good morning!
Mr. Taurukura and Shinto came after morning practice.
Looking around, at some point most of the seats were filled and the morning HR was one minute away.
"Whoa, is this already such a time? Then don't hesitate to tell me if you need to talk to me again, Shinomiya."
"Oh, yeah. Thank you. And Ono."
"Are you kidding me again?"
Break up with the Shinosomiya and get to your seats.
So I casually saw the smartphone and I noticed Anna was sending me a message.
"Meet me at the Adventurers' Club after school! The place is in the usual family. From Anna '
