chapter 19
When the higher up points, the lower one rolls – 1
Tanian’s stigma of a curse pretending to be a four-year-old was thickly stamped. There’s a chance I’ll be wrong, and I wasn’t a good seller anyway, so I just tried to get over it lightly. However, in a corner of his head, the brand of curse showed off his sexy presence and was not forgotten. The saint candidate is a curse, the last days.
In the end, I couldn’t sleep properly because of the anxiety that wriggled all night. It was the first time since seeing Kagan and Kesik’s horse charge head on that my heart trembled like this. Is Tanian retaliated as I advised Erich? Hopefully not.
Anyway, thanks to Tanian’s performance, we had no choice but to share a good-bye kiss with a comfortable sleep, and the aftermath continued into the morning.
“I’ll be thrilled.”
Wandering around the club room, I hit the desk leg with my shin. The legs of the desk were wobbly from the impact. This didn’t happen normally, but it was all because of Tanian. How dare you put a debuff on an advisor.
Fortunately, though, it wasn’t a desk that I used often, and if it was shaken by shock, I thought I’d be able to put it back together, so I tinkered with it. And I realized again that it is not a matter of recklessly looking at other people’s job areas.
‘This doesn’t work.’
The four-legged desk has degenerated into a three-legged desk. Zhuge Liang said that the shape supported by three legs is important, but in fact, isn’t this the most beautiful figure?
While staring at the three-legged desk standing in a daze like that, I saw a sympathy passing by through the window on the hallway, and then I heard a knock on the door. What’s going on in the morning I don’t think that’s a particularly good reason.
“Yes, please come in.”
When I put down the desk leg (that was) I was holding in one hand and told him to come in, the vice-principal carefully opened the door and came in. Those tiny trembling eyes. Sounds like you know, bad news. At that moment, the stigma of Tanian resurfaced in his mind, but he managed to calm it down.
“I didn’t expect guests to arrive from the morning. If I did, I’d prepare tea in advance.”
It’s a guest who came with an ominous feeling, but a guest anyway. He greeted him with a smile, but the vice principal still couldn’t control his trembling eyes and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. All you have to do is answer my greetings. Then, as if he had calmed down, he cautiously opened his mouth.
“Inspector General. That… The plan you submitted the other day.”
“The plan? Any problems with that?”
At club time the day before yesterday, Louise suggested that we all go outside the academy and have a picnic, so I wrote and submitted a suitable plan. Even outside the academy, it was about a small hill beyond the castle wall, and that was enough distance to go back and forth.
Since I’m going to lead the way anyway, it was received without any problems at the time of submission, but if you dare to see that the vice-principal arrived in the morning, it seems that something has happened.
The vice-principal sighed a little at my question and finally continued.
“A dungeon has been created near the picnic area.”
“Yes?”

No sh*t, why did that happen?
An artifact inside the academy detected the creation of a dungeon. Well, it’s called a dungeon, but it’s not a dungeon where you enter through a grandiose gate and defeat the monsters inside to get treasure.
When I first learned that dungeons existed after being possessed, I shouted at the status window alone in the corner thinking that the original work was a hybrid of a romance hunter. Of course it didn’t come out. It’s a shameful history of black history, but it’s a thing of the past.
Anyway, it is an established theory in the academic world that dungeons in this world are ‘created when mana in the air is bound to a certain place and changes the surrounding environment’. Every year, they say that there are other causes in their papers, and they say that there are other causes, but anyway, the basic goal is the mana problem.
I also looked it up because I was curious about the existence of dungeons in the romance world, but after that I turned off my interest. Since I haven’t seen the original, can I know why the writer put it like that? However, hearing the word dungeon at this timing, I have a clue.
‘This is the role of creating a crisis.’
It’s safe compared to dungeons in other neighborhoods, but dungeons in this world are also a burdensome burden with harmful tides that are far from adjacent ecosystems. There is not even a fence separating the dungeons, so you can walk and enter the harmful bird’s habitat.
And a dungeon was created near the place where the confectionery club decided to go on a picnic. That huge trap that was hard to tell with the naked eye whether it was a dungeon or not.
‘f*ck.’
A torturer leading a group of high-ranking people on a picnic near a dungeon? Even if he’s crazy, he’s not an ordinary crazy bastard. First of all, I’m on the verge of becoming that normal non-crazy bastard.
“Aren’t dungeons periodically managed by local officials? If only the accumulated mana is released, there will be no dungeons.”
Dungeons are basically caused by accumulations of mana, so provincial governors and lords in various parts of the empire periodically go around their jurisdictions with the duty to prevent dungeons. If you swing the artifact made in the magic tower, the accumulated mana will be scattered, so it’s not difficult.
To my words containing such a question, the sympathizer answered as if it were difficult.
“The local governor who manages the academy’s neighborhood was recently sent to Jedo. A successor has not yet arrived, but it was created in the blink of an eye.”
“Ah.”
It was only then that a small memory stuck in a corner of my head came to mind.
“The bastard who played with the road budget, rob it and deal with it.”
On the day I arrived at the academy, I roughly gave such instructions to the deputy director. That’s it, the successor hasn’t come yet. I didn’t know that the little ball I shot would come back like this.
“Then I’ll take care of it myself. Thanks for letting me know.”
It wasn’t my intention, but since I shot the ball, I have to deal with it.
Fortunately, there is still plenty of time before the picnic, and if it’s a dungeon that’s just been created, the risk is low, so it’s less burdensome. You can’t cancel the picnic, so you should stir it properly. The dungeon itself is not dangerous as long as the harmful assistants in the dungeon are dealt with.
“If you do, we would appreciate it. Please take good care of us.”
The vice-principal lowered his head with a small smile as if he was relieved to hear that I would take care of it myself. You probably know that the provincial governor was taken to the system by the Inspection Department, but I’m just grateful that he didn’t look at me with a stinging gaze. I’m sorry for taking sympathy for disrespect.
I don’t know if I know that feeling, but the sympathy’s gaze was looking behind me, so when I turned around, the three-legged desk caught my eye. Oh, that…
“Something was broken. I’ll replace it with something better.”
I didn’t bother to say that I smashed it.
Because it is uneasy to leave your seat during club time, we decided to deal with it while the members are caught in the classroom in the name of class. It would be rare for an advisor to suffer like this for his members. Will they know about my efforts?
At times like this, it’s really fortunate that there are classes. Sometimes, like before possessing, if I introduce self-study from 0 class to nighttime self-learning, I think I won’t have to suffer like this. In return, you might see a blue-blooded Maninso.
‘It’s really right next door.’
When I moved to the place the vice-principal told me, I saw a dungeon located in a forest quite adjacent to the place we had chosen as our picnic spot. I knew it was a dungeon and noticed it, otherwise I would have thought it was an ordinary forest. It gives me goosebumps to think that he would have wandered around here without knowing anything.
When I saw it with my own eyes, a deep sigh rises from the danjeon. Unless you’re really unlucky, there’s no way there will be a dungeon. However, while I was staying at the academy, a dungeon appeared, and I came to deal with the dungeon myself.
Even because it is a dungeon created in the territory of the empire, which is clearly outside the academy, in the name of the safety of key personnel in the three kingdoms, it is not possible to deal with the power of the three kingdoms. It is even worse for the academy security personnel who already have a lot of work to do.
“What is this in my spare time?”
I mumble in frustration, but no one even listens. With the rank of manager, it is rare for him to command the field, but he goes directly to the dungeon and runs with his own feet. Even if you look through the history of the empire, I would be the first. If it’s not the first, that’s more of a problem.
I wouldn’t have been so tired if I had at least one attendant that I could handle properly. At times like these, I wish there were at least two chiefs.
…No, thinking about it again, it’s not the second section. I was crazy for a while Even if the sky falls, he is not.
‘Proud of our bastard.’
I moved to the dungeon, remembering the face of Section 2, who made me promise to stand alone.
The inside of the dungeon didn’t look too special, perhaps because it was made not too long ago. To the extent that the trees have become a little thicker and the animals roaming around have gotten a little bigger? First of all, it was impressive to see a rabbit eating a squirrel.
Of course, the moment I bite even one of the 6 with those teeth, it would leave a deep scratch on my life as a civil servant, so I dealt with it right away. In your next life, be born in a normal ecosystem, not in a dungeon.
But I don’t see anything more threatening than I thought. No matter how freshly created a dungeon is, there are beasts that can threaten at least one village. The rabbits I just dealt with probably aren’t full-level rabbits, but there are probably at least bears and lions.
Then, as if in response to my thoughts, something with black fur appeared from among the bushes.
─ Chump chump chump!
Oh.
Yeah, something like that.
A black bear suddenly appeared and rushed at me in an instant, stood on its feet and swung his large right hand at my head.
This bastard is a bright guy. I like it.
