chapter 20
When the higher up points, the lower one rolls – 2
I couldn’t help but be moved by the greeting of a black bear who suddenly appeared and gave a high-five to the head. Better than most people on the subject of beasts. I’m going to die because I’m happy to say hello with a grateful heart. Lying on the ground right away and rolling around, this guy must have been moved by my response.
Poor guy, it seems he missed affection because he couldn’t grow up receiving love. It’s to the point where you can see your stomach right away with just one touch.
‘It’s surprisingly strong.’
Well, not joking, I slapped him in the stomach with the intention of killing him. However, it’s been a while since he used his fists, so he must have misregulated his strength, and the result is that figure of him rolling around unable to die. Maybe it’s because he’s in a dungeon, but he’s stronger than a normal bear.
It hurts my pride a little, but I’m glad. If this guy popped out in the presence of the members, an unexpected situation might have occurred. Now it’s down like that, but if it’s evil and rushes to the members, it’s very difficult.
‘He’s quite big too.’
I looked back and forth between the fist I had thrust into the bear’s belly and the bear trying to get up. It’s a bit wide to keep walking in the dungeon, and it’s just that it’s big enough for a person to ride. Okay, this is also related.
When I walked towards the bear, it freaked me out, so I showed him his fist and it calmed me down. It’s strong, but it’s also smart. Is this the mystery of the dungeon? He touched the bear’s nose, which had learned to stay still with the power of decent intelligence, and opened his mouth.
“Let’s work together with you.”
Lend me your back.
As expected, people need a vehicle to feel comfortable. I was able to quickly navigate the dungeons, which were annoying to walk on my own two feet, and even the harmful assistants that I had to deal with were found by Woong like a ghost by smell, so I didn’t have to suffer.
Woong is the name given to the black bear he is riding. It’s helpful like this, but I need to give it a name. I was going to roughly call it a bear, but I thought it was too much, so I turned it on.
“You like Woong, too?”
─Chumpw…
“Good Bear.”
It seems to mean good. I felt my body tremble as I stroked her head in satisfaction.
The dungeon’s noxious assistants are stronger than other beasts, but I’ve never heard of them being intelligent. Is this guy an unusual case? Well, how is it? I’m not a scholar who studies the dungeon ecosystem.
I rode Woongi and looked around the dungeon for about an hour. I can’t guarantee what kind of disaster will happen on the day of the picnic if I miss something. It was luck that he knew in advance that the dungeon had actually formed. In fact, if you’re really lucky, it wouldn’t have happened in the first place.
‘Terrain really looks like a dog.’
I’m moving forward, destroying all the trees in my way, but I get goosebumps thinking that I would have walked this forest road with the six of us. If even one person is injured, it is a terrible escort mission that shakes the continent beyond the academy, but even the terrain is not good, is it hell?
Of course, that hellish future has now been destroyed with my own hands. As Woong sighed and got off his back, Woong also looked at me with relieved eyes. Now you must have noticed that I was about to leave. This isn’t really normal bear intelligence.
“Woong. Are there any more left?”
There was no answer, but I could tell by the look in my eyes. There is no more, so please turn off your eyes. I smiled at his eyes and stroked his head.
“There really isn’t one? There must be one.”
─Chumpw?
Woong, who had been crying out that he really didn’t know, grew more and more anxious in his eyes. As if what you think is right now, please hope it isn’t.
“You stayed.”
With those words, he hit Ungi on the head. Fortunately, this time, unlike when I hit the abdomen, I properly controlled my strength and finished it all at once. Since he had a bond with him while wandering around the dungeon together, he paid special attention to let go so that he would not get sick. If you die without getting sick, you’re a good man.
When I looked down at Woong-i (who was) collapsing after losing his blown head, I felt bitter for nothing. His intelligence is good and he’s kind of mild, so I even briefly thought that maybe it was a story where Louise came into the dungeon and made her a pet. It’s a bit big for a pet, though.
If this guy is guilty, it’s that he was born in a dungeon. If we leave them alive for no reason and then pop out for a surprise party during a picnic, we both feel embarrassed.
‘In your next life, be born as a pet for a noble family.’
I wished Gomi a brief rest and turned my back. Now we have to get out of this damn dungeon.
Ah, was it Woong, not Gom? Well, it doesn’t matter. It’s a name no one calls you anymore anyway.
I came back after temporarily cleaning the dungeon, but fortunately it was before club time started. It’s shameful that the vice-principal delivered the news from the morning, otherwise there would have been a disaster where only six people gathered in the club room without me. It’s a little scary to imagine. Gathering 6 people out of my eyes…
‘It’s terrible.’
My heart is nervous even during the regular class time when 6 people are scattered, but the club time when everyone is gathered? I am confident that I will not be surprised if one of the five suddenly goes crazy and asks for a duel. I wouldn’t be surprised, but it would be disastrous, damn it. If someone flirts with me about a duel, I’ll be the opponent’s champion. Sincerely a fan.
With that in mind, I went into the club room and sat down where I always sat, and I felt something unfamiliar in the club room. Something cleaner, subtly luxurious.
As soon as I turned to take a closer look, I saw a letter on the nearest desk. It was a letter from the vice principal.
‘What is it?’
Does the person you saw in the morning bother to leave a letter? I sent it, so I’ll have to see.
[ I replaced the entire desk while replacing the broken desk. In case the inspector would be uncomfortable with the noise, I took care of it while the inspector was away for a while. I hope you will be satisfied with the newly renovated club room. ]
“Ah.”
True sympathy…!
I read the letter without much thought and couldn’t help but be moved. I admired the artistic behavior of the sympathy that perfectly handled up to 10 while doing 1. This is it, this is a real person. He is a talented person who is not lacking enough to rise to the position of Vice Principal of the Empire’s highest educational institution, the Academy!
If even one of the 1, 2, 3 bastards had only half as much sympathy, my job satisfaction would have been a piece of cake. I have the confidence to carry it on my back and commute. When I retire, I would have cherished it to the extent that I seriously considered it as a candidate for the next general manager along with the deputy general manager.
Of course, this is a useless assumption. Like a dog
“Huh? Older brother, did you change the desk?”
This is what Louise said as soon as she entered the club room. As expected, she is the most serious about confectionery, so she immediately notices what has changed. The other five seemed to notice after hearing Louise’s words. This is normal for you, so you don’t have to blame your intelligence.
“It was broken, so I replaced it. In the meantime, everything else.”
“Alone? Join us.”
“Sympathy, not me. Say thank you when you pass by.”
“Yes!”
Louisé, whose eyes were as blue as the sky, looked around the club room excitedly. You want to make sure that everything has changed. In fact, I didn’t even know how to look at it. The subtlety that seems to have changed subtly, but I don’t know what has changed.
Louise, who was looking around the club room with the five of us, looked at me as if she remembered something.
“Come to think of it, older brother. Where did you go in the morning? What happened?”
“Huh?”
What, how did you know?
As I looked at myself, my eyes were full of doubts, so Louise awkwardly twisted his hair and continued.
“I saw my older brother going outside the school gate in the morning.”
“That’s how you say you don’t pay attention in class.”
Considering the location of the building where Louise was taking classes at the time I was out, he was really determined and just stared out the window.
When I looked at Louise with a disapproving look at Louise, who was wasting the classes she wanted to take but didn’t take, he smiled and looked away, probably embarrassed himself. Yes, look What are you doing mad at me…
“So where did you go? Is there anywhere to go?”
Luteis intervened, whether it was to check the conversation with Louise alone, or simply because she was curious about the story behind it. Louise’s eyes, which awkwardly looked away from Lutis’ words, were fixed on mine again.
“I went to a picnic place to do a field trip.”
“I’m going on a picnic for a while, but why do you even do field trips? Some kind of problem pops up during the picnic.”
While saying that, I carefully looked at the neck of Ryutis, who was smiling.
I want to hit the wool pole, the wool pole, just once. If it doesn’t escalate into a diplomatic issue, there’s really only one… Is that what you’re talking about in front of the advisor who came to solve the problem right before it exploded?
At the same time, 99% certainty rose to 100% certainty as soon as I heard Ryutis’ words. If I went without knowing this, I would definitely enter the dungeon during the picnic. I’m sure it sounds like that flag. That devil’s snout is real. I’ve already solved this, but I’m just pissed off.
“There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
Suppressing the urge to neck slice, he gave an appropriate answer and looked away. The moment impulse overcomes reason, the Foreign Ministry will turn its eyes and come to catch me.
“They say the cherry blossoms on that hill are so pretty!”
When I looked away from Lutis, Louise caught my eye. Cherry blossoms are the perfect flower for Louise. But it’s pretty, la. It seems that someone made a fuss over Louise and went on a picnic there. Which dog did dog sh*t to bother me…?
“Oh, that’s what Irina said last time? That’s it.”
The true identity was immediately known from Erich’s words. Ah, Irina… That’s her. The one who was next to Louise when I first saw him.
Because of the unexpected identity, I quietly kept my mouth shut and listened to Louise’s words full of anticipation. If Irina was the cause, I couldn’t bear to resent it.
Irina. Louise’s best friend of the same sex. Less than the five contestants in the Louise Contender Race, but still one of the people I keep an eye on. That’s why I sneakily grasp the current situation whenever I have time.
And her full name is Irina Jorun. Before being dispatched to the academy, she was the daughter of that family who was struck by lightning in the dry sky due to a mistaken shot by the inspection department.
f*ck, 3 manager. Your sh*t was still here.
The living witness of work-related manslaughter that I saw in an unexpected place was an existence that stimulated my sense of guilt.
