We entered the guild master’s office, sat down on the sofa, and took out the snacks we brought from the marquisate.
“Where did you get those…?”
“From the place we just visited for the request.”
You have to take care of yourself.
If you wait for someone else to take care of you, you’ll starve to death first.
“Come to think of it… wasn’t the place you visited the Rodion Marquisate?”
“Don’t know, lol.”
“Don’t try to brush it off. All requests have to go through me.”
Oh, I see, he does work.
Usually, it’s the standard to leave it all to the subordinates and just play around, why is he working so hard?
“I’m asking just in case, but do you know anything about the Marquis’s demonization? It happened while you were there.”
“Hmm~ Not really?”
“Is that so… That’s too bad.”
“What I know is that the marquis lured us in and tried to kill us by joining hands with demons, but I countered and killed him instead? It’s not a big deal, right?”
“…”
Argo rubbed his face as if he heard something he shouldn’t have.
Why is he making that kind of reaction when he asked the question himself?
“Hoo… Do you know that the imperial family is looking for the person who stopped the incident?”
“Of course~ That’s why we left early in the morning.”
“Then why? The reward from the imperial family would be enough to play around for months.”
“Because it’s annoying. I already took the marquis’s vault, so I don’t need to go to the imperial family for the reward.”
“You took his vault…?”
“Ah, was I not supposed to say that?”
Luna and Yui were avoiding my gaze.
“What if I tell them?”
What would I do if he told the imperial family?
It’s obvious, isn’t it?
“I’ll kill the Emperor too, then we’ll all die together.”
Try it if you can~
If I die, I can just live another life, right?
If things go wrong, becoming the World Tree and going to another world is also a great method.
“Do you even realize what you’re saying…?”
“Do you think I have dementia?”
Did I already forget what I just said?
“You’re the only one in the empire who can say that with a straight face.”
“That means I’m great, right?”
Everyone else is saying ‘you must not utter that name!’, but I’ve called Voldemort hundreds of times.
That’s me, Luke, member of Super Junior, or not.
“Even so, the empire is going to investigate this case.”
“Do as you please.”
This isn’t technologically advanced earth, what are they going to find through an investigation?
Are they going to collect fingerprints from the crime scene?
Good luck finding some in this era.
The only thing you can do in a fantasy world is check for traces of magic.
Yeah~ No matter how hard you search, you won’t find any~ because I don’t have any magic~
“You… you don’t seem to know this about yourself, but you’re kind of famous.”
“How so?”
“Should I sugarcoat it or just say it?”
“What would you say if you sugarcoat it and what would you say if you just say it?”
“Sugarcoated, you’re a genius with amazing abilities at a young age. Bluntly, you’re a two-timing bastard with two beautiful women.”
Argo looked back and forth between Luna and Yui.
“As expected, talented people always get attention.”
“You’re not even offended?”
“Why? They’re just pathetic. Their whole life consists of being jealous, so let them talk.”
Talented and handsome people are always the target of jealousy.
This is just happening earlier than I thought.
As an alpha male, you have to be able to see the emotions of those beneath you.
“Haa… If it wasn’t for you, Luke, we would have been in big trouble.”
“If you’re grateful, give me a house.”
“…”
“Just kidding~”
No, seriously, you think the empire would still exist if it weren’t for me?
The fate of mankind rests on my shoulders?
Arthur would have died in his first event if it weren’t for me?
Demons and monsters would be attacking the academy right now. I’m the one who stopped it, and all the people here are living longer than they should have because of me.
Isn’t a house just pocket change compared to their lives?
“There’s hardly any adventurers who want to go to the academy. I thought our adventurer’s guild would lose its face.”
Oh, right. We came here because of the support request.
I’ve been talking too much about unnecessary things, but now it’s time to hear what it’s all about.
“You didn’t need to abuse your power like that. If there’s no one to go, we just don’t go.”
“It’s not that easy. If we don’t go, we’d be called cowards and freeloaders who live off of taxes.”
“People will say stuff about us either way.”
“That’s true…”
So they’ll complain no matter what I do?
Just like little kids.
“Should I make an example of a few people there?”
“…Please don’t. The academy and the guild are in a symbiotic relationship.”
“Symbiotic? Not enemies?”
“The academy’s headmaster is a former S-rank adventurer, Lucia. We help each other out.”
So that’s what it was.
They’ve been helping each other all along? Then why was there no support before?
“So, what’s the request?”
“Support for an artificial dungeon training made by the professors.”
That episode already?
Time flies fast.
But from what I know, there was no adventurer support in that episode?
“What do the professors do?”
“I heard they worked hard on it. It’s supposed to be more difficult than usual. Because of that, the adventurer’s support is more like an insurance just in case.”
Ah.
Why did they do that? They should have slacked off. Passion pay is useless.
“Tch. So when do we have to go?”
“Now.”
“Huh?”
“Now.”
What the fuck!
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
At the same time, at the academy.
A man was sitting at a desk, resting his chin on one hand and holding a magic sphere in the other.
It was the most basic yet effective method of training to expand mana circuits and improve mana control.
The man’s name was Arthur.
He was severely injured recently, but he had removed all his bandages.
‘It’s a good thing I received healing magic… Otherwise, my schedule would have gone wrong.’
It might not have been as good as what a Saint could do, but the academy’s healing magic was still decent.
Of course, all of his bones were shattered and he was bruised all over. For a normal person, even if they received healing magic, they’d still need to rest for a month.
The fact that he could fully recover in just a few days must have been because of plot armor.
‘Hmm… What should I do today?’
A single day was an eternity for a main character.
It was more than enough time for a dramatic change.
He had spent it lying on the bed, so there was so much to do.
‘Okay. First, I’ll raise Riche’s favorability. Then I’ll train for the rest of the day.’
Riche’s favorability was strangely low.
He should have been past the beginning and moving onto the middle of the story, but while the other girls were showing interest in him, Riche’s favorability felt like it was going in the opposite direction.
‘Have I been neglecting her?’
No way.
She was his favorite character.
Even though he had met with the other girls in order to raise their favorability, he was confident that he had given Riche the most attention.
But strangely, he felt like she was avoiding him and starting to hate him.
“Haa…”
It’s okay. I still have time.
I just need to work harder.
He had already considered the changes in the storyline, he would work hard.
‘Hehehe… and later on, like in the original story, Riche and I…’
While he was having sweet dreams, the situation he was in came to his mind.
He had already obtained most of the plot armor at this point.
Thanks to it, he was able to go from E-class to C-class in a short time, but he felt something lacking.
‘Even if this is a growth-focused story, I’ve been separated from the heroines for too long.’
The heroines were all in Class A.
As strong and beautiful as they were, they stayed in Class A, so Arthur had been separated from them since he had started at E-class.
‘Originally, I should be having fun with the heroines in class like I am now.’
To even be in the same classroom with unknown extras during regular classes, it was impossible.
‘Sigh… I wish I had been reincarnated into a romance-focused story instead.’
Then there would not have been classes separated based on ability, and he could’ve had fun with beautiful heroines in his harem every day.
It’s so much trouble, leaving comments in the final chapter.
“No. Still, it’s a great deal being a protagonist. That other guy reincarnated into an extra.”
Arthur thought about Luke.
A reincarnator like himself.
But he was an extra… no, he wasn’t even worth being called an extra.
He may have gotten the better of me before, but the main character of this world is me.
Because it’s a rule that could never be changed, the gap between him and Luke will continue to grow.
*Creak.*
The classroom door opened and the homeroom teacher of Class C walked in.
Since Arthur was bedridden earlier, this was his first time seeing the teacher.
She was an ordinary female teacher.
“Hello. There’s a new student in Class C today, so let me introduce myself first. I’m Liana Lindsay. Pleased to meet you.”
She bowed.
Her manner of speaking was different from the instructors of Class E and Class D.
Those arrogant and condescending people spoke informally from the start, while she felt more respectful towards her students.
“Now, let me tell you about today’s schedule. Today, we’ll be doing a practice dungeon run in a dungeon the professors worked hard to make.”
Dungeon.
In this world, dungeons didn’t really exist.
As she said, the only dungeon here is what the teachers made for students’ training.
‘Ah. It’s already that episode?’
Naturally, in this kind of world, the word “dungeon” itself sounds ominous.
And as far as I know, this is also an event.
Necromancer.
An important event where a demon will appear in the dungeon, fostering camaraderie and cooperation between the heroines and the protagonist.
‘Okay. I’ll drastically raise Riche’s favorability this time!’
Usually, such important practice sessions were held together, regardless of class.
Arthur didn’t doubt that he’d be in the same group as the heroines.
Not yet knowing about the events that will happen soon.
