026 – You can make a lot of friends when school starts! # 2

“I’m bored.”

I was sitting alone in Brigitte’s lab.

Brigitte, who works as a professor at the academy, goes to work.

Enkidus went somewhere to find Mara or something.

It was hard to see Garot’s face, whether or not he was the type to stay in one place.

Naruto also entered the school.

“Narunaru.”

Isn’t this the first time that Naru hasn’t been by my side for such a long time?

Not to mention the last time I was kidnapped.

“that’s interesting.”

I only met Naru for about two weeks.

But before I knew it, my daily life was next to Naruga, “Oh, shh…” ! Naru likes to talk alone… !”

“Honestly, I was embarrassed because it was a child born out of nowhere.”

It wouldn’t be bothersome, it wouldn’t be bothersome—I’d honestly be lying if I said.

Imagine having a 6-year-old daughter show up to a 25-year-old man who has never held a woman’s hand properly.

Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to be honest?

I did, but without knowing it, I accepted the daily life with Naru well.

“Well, I’m not good at adapting.”

If it hadn’t been good at adapting, it would have been dinosaur food when it landed on this strange continent of Pangea.

With that feeling, I walked around the lab.

“Is it only 10 o’clock yet? Is Naru already in first period?”

I’m bored.

Soon I saw a strange lock in my eyes.

It was the lock that Brigitte had hung on her closet.

“Isn’t there something like this in the first place?”

Who puts a lock on their underwear drawer?

Isn’t it cumbersome to open or close?

It seemed that he had put a padlock on it because he was afraid that someone would steal his underwear.

I wonder if underwear thieves are in vogue in this freesia?

He must be so perverted that a good person like me can’t even imagine.

Because of those guys, even a good thief like me is caught and cursed at, so it’s really unfair to die.

“In that sense, shall we try unlocking the lock after a long time?”

It is a thief’s instinct to want to pick a lock.

I wouldn’t have been interested if there wasn’t a lock, but since it’s locked, I’d rather open it.

“Let’s see—”

Sussuk-.

I rummaged through my pockets.

What I was looking for was a thin, pointed iron rod.

It would be better to describe it as a ‘lock pick’.

Like a dagger that is good to hide in a sleeve, it was a thief’s essential tool.

“… … .”

However, there was not a single lockpick that could be caught in the pocket.

It looks like it’s all written.

“You didn’t replenish it the last time you used the lock pick. When was the last time? I think it was before I met Naru. It was time to dig through Princess Ordor’s drawers… .”

I can’t remember when it was empty.

I haven’t had a chance to use a lockpick lately.

“I was just bored. Shall we go for a lock pick or supplement?”

I already had a rough idea of where to buy it.

With that feeling, I got out of Brigitte’s lab and headed for the underground aqueduct.

Yes.

it is groundwater

The underground where the evil Alubaba bandits were active.

Of course, it was a little different from the basement they were making their base of.

Drurr-.

“Mom, he opened the drain lid.”

“Shh, don’t look at me.”

I quickly went into the sewer.

The musty musty smell and the smell of filthy water permeate my body.

“It’s sweet. The underpass feels like this in any city.”

And in any city, there are ‘shadows’ deep underground.

Even in a bright city like Phrygia, that was the case.

smart-.

I knocked with my hand on the wall of the Phrygian underground aqueduct.

dot dot-.

Then, I found one area that made a sound unlike the other parts.

Hit that part with a certain beat.

Dot, dot, dot. dot. Dot da-dot. Dot dot dot.

Kind of like a Morse signal.

A beacon that causes a spray of signals.

drooling-.

Then, along with the sound of bricks dragging the floor, I felt someone’s presence through the wall.

-What is darker than night?

indeed.

As I expected, subtle questions emerge.

This is the same for any city.

It’s not a title I like very much, but I’m called the king of thieves in my own way.

I knew the answer to this question, of course.

darker than the night.

There is only one.

“My bank account balance.”

-Wrong. you can’t pass

“… … .”

can’t do it

In the first place, the purpose was to know that there is a human presence beyond this wall.

Biggie Barbara -.

“Crossing the serpent fence”.

Sssssssssssssssssss-.

I moved lightly.

A wall about 20 cm thick was a technique that could pass through like a ghost.

The principle was simple.

I think my body has become a gas-like gas, so I can permeate through the bricks.

Isn’t it easy and simple?

That’s the C-class skill “Crossing the Serpent Wall”.

It was a skill that became like a skill in the game because I jumped over the wall a lot.

“Aww! Rice, a person breaking through a wall… ! A scary-looking ghost!?”

When I crossed the wall, I saw the face of a man holding a torch.

He was terribly shocked to see me.

His beard was also shaggy and rugged.

“Hyung, no matter where I look, it’s a ghost. Look, there are bones and flesh that ghosts don’t have. If in doubt, try touching it yourself.”

I held out my hand and showed it.

Then, the man who carefully touched my palm with his index finger exclaimed greatly.

“Crossing the wall without a physical collision without being a ghost. The only ones that can do that kind of skill are gold grade “Master Class” or higher? Among them, only one has black hair. Are you—”

“Shh. Don’t make too much fuss. Your name is Jack Siff?”

Short-.

I looked at the man’s dog tag in my hand and figured out his name.

Then a man named Jack rummaged through his pockets and was startled.

“In the meantime, he rummaged through my pockets… ? Maybe it was time to show the palm… !? Unbelievable… ! This skill, such a wonderful “attracting attention” skill—. Oh my gosh… . It’s an honor to meet you! really!”

“Sure.”

“Anyone who walks between walls and shadows is not someone I would like to meet at least once! Are you here to meet the guild masters? After all, because of the Arubaba bandits?”

“No, I came to buy a lock pick. Do you know where lockpicks are sold?”

“Rock Pick! That plain lockpick? No, that can’t be! Is it some kind of passphrase that can only be used for master classes and above? indeed! How great!”

No, I came here to buy a real rock pick.

However, I was able to acquire enough information through a conversation with this man named Jack.

It seems that there is a guild in Freesia, and the ‘masters’ who manage it are located underground.

It’s probably not in very good condition, seeing as the Arubaba bandits are running around in the canal.

“Mister Jack, please guide me to the guild while we met.”

* * *

Tak-tak, Tak-tak-.

“When the world was turbid with all kinds of Demiurges. The followers formed forces and waged war among those who served the same master. The ‘guild’ was born here.”

The writing was written on the blackboard.

The beautiful teacher’s voice calmly wet the students’ ears.

“By the way, the Demiurges mentioned here are people who transcend the world and are commonly worshiped as gods. Memorize the names and powers of each Demiurge as they will appear in the test.”

At first glance, it was an ordinary class.

However, upon closer inspection, it was a tragedy for one student.

Naru rubbed her sleepy eyes and thought.

‘Didn’t Brigitte say she won’t have class because it’s the first day?’

Classes from the first period on the first day of admission?

However, the atmosphere was solemn, and Naru felt like her spirit was aching.

“Okay, here’s the problem. Can anyone tell me what kind of guilds there are in the world?”

Salome teacher asked.

When the children notice each other, someone raises their hand.

“Miss Tywin?”

Seruk-.

The student named Tywin rose from his seat.

She was like a gray princess.

the child said calmly.

“First of all, there is a magic tower that serves Efar, the Queen of Dawn. It’s a wizard’s guild with a long history. And the church that serves Yahbach, the father of the day, can also be seen as a guild in a large sense.”

It was a clear vocabulary, unlike a six-year-old.

Looking at it, other small children gossip.

“It’s really Tywin. You said you came in first place this time?”

“Tch, no luck.”

“Don’t be jealous of being pushed by Tywin, Elizabeth. 2nd place was also good. It’s great that your father is the vice-president.”

“what? wait and see Sooner or later I will flatten that arrogant nose.”

Tak Tak Tak -.

“quiet. Turn off local TV.”

As the children’s gossip grew louder and louder, Miss Salome cautioned them by slapping the palm of her hand on the podium. When the classroom became quiet again, she looked around with benevolent eyes and said.

“Miss Tywin, you answered well. The Mage Tower and Church can also be called guilds in a large sense. Also, the ‘Sanghoe’, an association of merchants who serve Azuzkas of Salt, and the ‘Brotherhood’ who serve the Balag of Destruction.”

Tywin was praised.

Soon, the children’s admiration burst out.

Someone raises their hand as if they couldn’t stand this spectacle.

“teacher!”

“Why is that, attendance number 2, Miss Elizabeth?”

The teacher called a girl with red hair like a bun.

Inside everyone, she looks like a princess——the girl Elizabeth said while admiring.

“The Devil and Pandemonium are also guilds in a big sense, right? It was a group to make Nocturne’s great warrior, the demon king Sabrnak, a transcendent.”

“Yes, Miss Elizabeth is quite smart, isn’t she? You know a lot.”

Elizabeth smirked and looked at Tywin.

Of course, the gray genius Tywin didn’t even pretend to see it.

thru-.

Now, teacher Salome’s blue eyes were directed to the girl sitting in the middle of the classroom.

Naru’s eyes wide open.

The teacher asked Naru.

“Naru-san, could you tell me about the guilds you know about, Naru-san? Miss Naru must have a guild she knows. There are as many guilds as there are Demiurges in the world, so tell me anything.”

Guild.

Naru tilted her head at the unfamiliar name.

‘What is a guild? What else is Demiurge?’

It was a difficult word.

So it was time to tilt my head.

The teacher, who was smiling benignly, spoke softly with only his lips moving.

“You say you’re the princess of the back alley, but you don’t even know the guild? Are you really the daughter of Judas? Is the real daughter right? Actually, where did you steal it from?”

“Huh… I don’t know the Naru Guild… . I am extremely sorry… .”

“But it’s okay. Today is the first day. Therefore, I will explain about the ‘Shadow Council’, an alliance of thieves. The Council of Shadows is an organization formed by the apostles of Snix, the lord of the night, united with the Black Brotherhood who serve Nocturne, the father of darkness—.”

Snix. Nocturne. Shadow Council. Guild.

Naru’s eyes spun in the morning as unfamiliar words swayed.

‘Studying is difficult… !’

He looked around, wondering if the other kids were similar to him.

However, most of the children were seen diligently taking notes with pens and notebooks.

‘School is difficult… !’

Ding dong dang dong -.

Classes are over and it’s lunch time.

Naru sighed and fell face down on the desk.

“Tywin, let’s go eat!”

“Tywin is going with me? lol-. Tywin, you said you couldn’t get your allowance because your mom scolded you? Shall I buy you ice cream?”

“Heh, it’s rice, it doesn’t matter who you eat it with. And I don’t even need ice cream.”

“Ezebet, are you not going to eat?”

“You guys go first. I stayed in class and did a bit of review… .”

“Wow, review from the first day? Awesome.”

All the children gather in twos and threes and go to eat.

Everyone seemed to have friends already.

Naru also wanted to play with the children, but for some reason they looked at Naru with caution.

“I heard from my mother that that boy named Naru fought robbers in the underground water canal?”

“Can a 6-year-old like me really do that?”

“Um, I’m scared… .”

“No, according to my cousin who was rescued this time, he survived because of that. I don’t think he’s a bad kid… .”

In many ways, the confused whispers are well heard by Naru’s sensitive ears.

It was possible because Naru developed ‘ears’ to become a good thief and open safes.

Shuk-.

Then someone reached out to Naru.

It was Cecily.

“Naruya, don’t worry about those kids and let’s go eat!”

“Yes!”

Naru and Cecily headed to the restaurant.

Today’s lunch is pork cutlet.

It was Naru’s favorite food.

“Ow, shack! Naru, lunch is good! But Cecily doesn’t eat beans?”

“I hate beans. I hate broccoli too. Originally, noble ladies like me are picky eaters. My dad also had a bad diet until he was little.”

Cecily picked vegetables from the plate.

The situation of the vegetables gathered in one corner of the plate looked quite pitiful.

“Then Naru will eat it! Give me the beans and broccoli!”

“yes? yes!”

Naru brought beans, broccoli, and mushrooms to her plate, which Cecily didn’t like to eat. Seeing this, the other children trembled.

“… Chi, you’re stealing your friend’s side dishes.”

“What if my pork cutlet is taken away?”

It was a moment when misunderstandings piled up in many ways.

With that feeling, lunchtime is over and it’s already 1:00.

It was when the classroom, which had been empty by lunchtime, was once again full of children.

“Oh, my wallet is missing.”

“Oh, my wallet… ! The money my mother gave me to buy supplies… !”

The children started making embarrassing noises in the classroom.
