I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

118.Office Workers Do Not Have Summer Vacation (2)

[I’m not a dog…]

“Hehe, let’s go for a walk together~”

With her skillful hands, Millia put a leash on Lue and tied her tightly. She soon realizes that she has to go for a walk, and Lue runs amok, but it’s just a helpless tentacle that can’t even use her magic. Lue lifted up her body, tied to her rope, with her eyes as if she had given up on everything.

“Don’t go too far!”

“Yes~!”

“Is it okay to treat all the grimoires like that? ?”

“What can’t be done?”

As for me, I like Milia, so there is no reason to stop her. Even though she says that, it seems like she doesn’t really dislike her.

“Oh, I’m sure John is the only one who treats grimoires like that… “

“Is this the first time?”

There is no word that resonates so deeply in a gamer’s heart. Since this isn’t a game, there won’t be any achievements or anything like that. I arranged the dishes neatly and turned my head completely to look at Elisa who was fidgeting with her hands.

“Maybe…Too?”

“So, what brings you here? “I have to go out soon because I have some work to do.”

“Uh, that’s… “

In response to my question, Elisa twisted his body and began to glance at me. What are you trying to say? I waited for her answer with slightly nervous eyes. It was almost three minutes later that Elisha, timidly the best at Yeomyeonggwan, answered me.

“Well, a black market will open in a few days… Ho, maybe together…”

“Are you asking us to go to the black market together? Why?”

“Well, that is…”

Elisa stuttered her words and began a long-winded explanation. Her frustratingly slow and complicated explanation was actually simple when summarized.

“I want to go to the black market because there’s something I want to buy, but I’m afraid to go alone, so you’re asking me to go with you?”

“Yes, yes…”

“I get it. “I was planning on going anyway, so let’s go together.”

I was already planning on going to check if there were any useful magic tools or materials.

“Really?”

Elisa looked up at me with her eyes wide open, as if she was surprised when I readily accepted. I answered again, agreed, and stood up. There was a lot to do today, so I had to move without even blinking.

“Then we’ll have dinner three days later and then leave right away.”

“Yes, yes! Thank you!”

“John.”

I turn my head and look at Karina when I hear a beautiful voice suddenly calling me.

She asked me, looking a little worried.

“Isn’t the black market dangerous?”

“You just have to stay away from me.”

“Just in case, why not take Lennie with you?”

“Lenny has to protect you. I know she’s worried, but it’s also a bad habit for her to be overprotective. “I don’t plan on going just the two of us, so don’t worry too much.”

“…Still, do I have to be careful?”

It was cute to see him worried, so I smiled and answered.

“I am the one with safety hypersensitivity. “I don’t know anything else, but I’m confident that it’s safe, so rest assured.”

“…Yes.”

“Two, weren’t we going together? ?”

I turned my attention back to Elisa when I heard a very disappointed voice coming from the village. Elisa glanced at me with her melancholy face and wiggled her hands faster. Did you really want to go together like that?

“Because I have company.”

“Is that so…I understand…”

Elisa left her restaurant with her shoulders slumped. I looked at that for a moment, then said hello to Karina and left the restaurant.

————————-

“Woah, it’s hot…Here, give me some orange juice!”

Sif sat down with a refreshing order and placed a thick pile of documents in front of me. I smiled and opened my mouth at the gesture that seemed to appeal to me as if I had worked hard.

“Quite a lot.”

“I had a really hard time scraping it all together. I spent a lot of money…”

At the same time, Sif looked up at me with a subtle look. Just looking at him, his eyes she said, ‘I worked hard, so pay me for my trouble.’So I obediently took out five gold coins from my pocket and handed them to him.

“Oh, thank you for giving me 5 gold coins!”

“If you are thankful, you will have to be busier.”

“Are you paying more for your trouble?”

“Depending on the results.”

“What, did you get a new water supply?”

“Yes.”

Sif’s eyes sparkled at my answer. It seemed like he was mistaking the new water supply for his her her her her her. It wasn’t exactly wrong to say that since Sif was in the position of a subcontractor.

“Oh, he must be a rich person?”

“I don’t know about that.”

I don’t know how much Principal Merlin’s personal wealth is. Given his age, he must have accumulated a lot of assets, but it wouldn’t be to the point where he would rip me off. You must have made a lot of money through various things, but you must have spent some money on your own research.

“Well, it must be a lot to call it watering… Ugh, I’m tired.”

When I looked under her eyes after hearing her words her, I could faintly see dark circles. Now that I think about it, I have a bit more makeup on today than usual. The neck and face colors are completely different. Now that you’ve earned some money, does that mean you can take care of your appearance? Since I have some spare time, should I buy one for my kids? I don’t know how to look at cosmetics at all, so I’ll have to get Ciph’s help.

…Let’s get the job done first.

If it leaks sideways, there is no bottom or end.

On the table, I lined up the papers containing information about dungeons from all over the continent that Sif had collected. Information about about 30 dungeons. In order to make the most of the summer vacation, all the information I had gathered from Sif was all about unexplored dungeons.

There is no need to go to a dungeon where the reward has already been confirmed.

In the first place, most of the dungeons I found here were places I had cleared at least once while playing the game. Even though I can’t remember it well, whenever I see the name, a familiar thought comes to mind. And most of those places had poor compensation.

If you want to find the item that will lift Karina’s curse, it would be better to go through dungeon areas that are hidden or discovered but unexplored in various ways. Being able to monopolize the rewards was also a big advantage. Furthermore…

[New Mission]

-Clear the unexplored dungeon 5 times.

Reward: Attribute Point 3

…As if they had discovered my plan, a mission was created.

There was no reason not to do it since it would add attribute points.

“John, speaking of the dungeon, are we going there together?”

“I’m thinking about finding a few people to go.”

“How many people?”

“Do you remember the students who escaped from the crack together at that time?”

“They? I guess he’s strong for his age, but why?”

Sif drank the orange juice filled with a large cup through a straw with a sour expression.

It’s surprisingly big. What kind of beer glass are you filling with orange juice?

Should I order one too?

I called the clerk, ordered orange juice, and continued the conversation.

“They are useful guys. “I will be able to put it to quite good use when I graduate later.”

Of course it was an excuse. The only goal was to develop the protagonist and heroine couple to the point where they could fight against future events. Even if the number of people you can fight increases, the range of tactics expands.

There was also a reason why I didn’t want to suffer alone. Because the guy in front of me right now wasn’t very useful in battle. He said It’s just a porter, proxy purchasing, and information gathering… No, it’s not trivial. In any case, he is a true worker who faithfully handles auxiliary tasks.

If you treat someone poorly, you could end up getting stabbed in the back, so you have to treat them well.

“Hmm, I’m going to nurture talented people and use them, so that’s it?”

“That is the correct answer.”

“Then will my job disappear later?”

A faint look of anxiety appeared on Sif’s face. Is he thinking that he might get fired one day? I spoke to her to dispel her concerns.

“Don’t worry too much. “Your abilities are highly regarded.”

“Hmm, isn’t it easy to find a talent like me?”

It’s cute how their ears straighten up from a single compliment. It wasn’t something I could say out loud, so I happily drank the orange juice the clerk had put down for me through a straw. It was refreshing to feel the strong, acidic sweetness flowing down my tongue and down my throat. It tastes a little sticky, but it’s not bad.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring Elisa with you when you go to the black market. Since I always have a gloomy face, I need to do at least one thing to straighten my face. Should I buy some for the kids?

…The more people you get involved with, the more people you have to take care of.

If you think about it, only the number of people already connected exceeds double digits.

Carina, Leni, Millia, Elisa, Sif, Louis and Shuri, Laperine, Luet, and Principal Merlin.

I will be connected to more people in the future.

In order to see the true ending whose identity you don’t know, you will eventually have no choice but to expand your network.

My goal was to build a network of people who could respond to any situation.

“John, why are you suddenly bruised?”

“…I have a lot to think about.”

“Do you feel dizzy looking at the contents of the dungeon?”

“…Well, let’s say so.”

I can’t tell anyone about my worries.

Because no one will understand that this world was a game.

I picked out a few sheets of paper and pushed the rest to the side.

“Sif. Please check additional information about these dungeons. “I will give you one gold coin for one piece of good information.”

“Really?!”

At my words, Sif hit the table and stood up. I chuckled as I saw Sif, who seemed to be moved by my unconventional suggestion, and she turned to face me with her tail and ears raised.

It’s simple.

“Okay. “Save as much as you can until the next black market starts.”

“Okay! Look forward to it! “I will gather all the information I don’t have and give it to you!”

I sucked down half of the remaining orange juice and drank it while listening to Sif’s confident declaration of her.
