Chapter 21 – In Times Like That, You Should Have Locked the Door Properly (02)

The first mission was successfully completed by returning to the academy’s carriage.

On Saturday evening, at the time of settlement, Professor Ander, who oversees majors and minors for third-year students, came by and evaluated each party’s major. Most of class E received average evaluations, and most of class F were dissatisfied with the concept. Received an evaluation.

‘Well, this result is predetermined…’

“Aren Party. It is an evaluation that the request was successfully completed for this mission. The client paid additional compensation.”

Our combat evaluation is SSS. It was a natural result since the leader wolf in the forest was blown away and the entire wolf pack was also wiped out.

Jinglang.

The academy’s own currency pocket, called points, is placed in your hand.

Above the money bag were the words [Wolf extermination mission reward].

I don’t know how big it is, but it was so heavy that I could hold it tightly in both hands, and when I fixed my gaze, I saw the number that appeared and realized that it was 1,500 points, which was the 1,000 point request fee and 500 points as a bonus.

‘In the first round, I performed this mission and received exactly 300 points…’

A herb that restores 15 vitality costs 30 points. A regular potion that replenishes vitality by 50 costs about 100 points.

Also, if you give up the favorability task and work part-time, you will receive about 200 points per week.

Of course, if you work part-time to earn points, it will be difficult to progress in the game later because you will not be able to manage your favorability, so it is better to just work on your favorability even if you are short on points.

“Aren Party. It is an evaluation that the request was successfully completed for this mission. The client paid additional compensation.”

Jinglang.

Immediately after, the same line was repeated and a reward was given, but this time it said [Bandit Suppression Mission Reward].

Instead, the points were higher than those for subjugating wolves, so it included 2,000 points plus a bonus of 500, making it about 2,500.

‘What… Do they give the same reward even if they are enslaved as if they were subjugated?’

Depending on the scenario, if you hire William, it will be treated as a mission failure and you will lose the reward, but instead, the reward was given at the level of completing the subjugation.

‘The adult mode is really a scam…’

In an instant, both hands became heavy, and the point bag alone totaled 4,000 points.

Previously, I shared 300 with Ofelia, but 1,000 points per person was a solid amount in itself.

‘But this has to be shared between the four of us…’

Actually, since I am responsible for the distribution here, I could have done a little trick.

If you give more than the set amount, likeability increases, and if you give more than the set amount, likeability decreases vertically.

Since giving a lot does not significantly increase the favorability rating, it was more efficient to just pay the settlement evenly at 1/nth of the amount and use that money to buy gifts to increase the favorability rating.

Oh, don’t think about stealing points and making up for it with gifts.

The less you give, the lower the level of favorability becomes to the point where it is difficult to cover it with any gift.

‘Still, 1000 points is enough’

The cost for the first dormitory emergency repair is 500 points.

Later, it went up a lot and cost 500,000 points each, but it was still repairable at a low price.

“Good job Aren!”

Since we had previously held a strategy meeting individually, Ophelia approached me first and said thank you for your hard work, and I divided the point bags and gave 1000 points to Ofelia.

“Huh… It’s pretty thick. Even though it’s like this, they give me a lot of points?”

In the first round, 150 points were divided into each group and people complained that ‘the remuneration is too low for a famous academy,’ but this time, the reward was several times that, so they were responding positively.

‘Well… I’m doing two missions at once due to a bug, so that’s it.’

“Then I’ll go in first. Rest well, Aren, and see you tomorrow.”

“Thank you for your hard work, master.”

When Inori, who was waiting hidden among the other students, suddenly appeared, I gave her 1000 points.

“If you need it, you can use my share.”

“Oh…”

Normally, if you don’t give out points, Inori’s favorability drops to the bottom, but Inori… Wow!

However, even though Inori protected Alice and went through a lot of trouble, it was on her conscience that she did not give her anything.

“Still, accept it.”

Jinglang.

A thousand points may not seem like a big deal to Inori, but she carefully kept the point bag I gave her in her arms.

‘I’m very concerned that the inventory is between the cleavage’

I thought to myself, “How can she put such things in her breasts when they aren’t that big?”, But she didn’t say it out loud.

“Inori, get some rest too. You must have been tired today.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Inori must have been tired, so she went back to the dormitory without saying anything today.

“Then there’s only one person’s worth left…”

Since I messed up Alice’s favorability task anyway, I could have ignored it and taken 1000 points, but I had one last thing to check.

‘On days like today when practice ends, a small party will be held in the dormitory, so Alice, who hates noise, will move out of the women’s dormitory…’

Then there was only one place for her to go.

Jinglang.

Holding in one hand the bag of 1,000 points I had previously distributed, I headed to the roof of the Class F building.

Originally, I often missed it because I couldn’t enter the classroom after classes ended at Celestial Academy. Although I couldn’t enter the classroom, I was able to enter the building.

I thought there was no interaction, so I just went back, but I was able to visit the rooftop if I asked for information or happened to hear a rumor going around.

‘That rumor was also leaked by Alice… That’s also the reason why I leave the lock here instead of carrying it around.’

I like being alone, but deep down, I’m lonely, so I’m waiting for a romantic partner to come after hearing the rumors, but everyone treats me like a rumor and doesn’t come.

When I arrived at the door to the rooftop, I found it locked, so I slightly lifted the window and found the key.

“…Nothing?”

Honestly, I was embarrassed.

Originally, there should have been a key left by Alice in this place, but it is not there now.

‘Could it be that my favorability has entered the fear stage and they have blocked me from approaching to prevent them from using tricks?’

If Alice carried her key, there was no way to recruit her anymore because it meant that she was not looking for someone to open and share her heart with her.

I still had some affection left, so I tried to improve my likeability, but I never thought it would end up like this…

‘Is Alice…?’

The status window can be seen blurry beyond the wall.

I made up my mind as I looked at the slightly shaking status window and the fluttering heart gauge, which was more than half filled with the second heart.

“Whoa…”

After confirming that there was no one around, I took out a wooden sword.

Quick!

When I lightly hit the lock with my wooden sword, I watched as I couldn’t hold on and fell to the floor, putting the wooden sword back on my waist and entering the rooftop.

‘I found it’

It seemed that Alice was currently inside the tent.

I couldn’t properly check the situation inside, but it seems that her [Star Wizard] Characteristic is shaking, so I don’t know if she’s dancing or playing around. The outer packaging of the astronomical telescope that she uses to look at the stars in the sky every night is also there. When seen in its unpeeled state, it seemed as if astronomical observations were not being made.

She seemed to be so absorbed in something that she even put aside her favorite hobby, her fundamentals of dealing with her star magic.

‘If it’s wrong…’

To be honest, she is worried.

Inside her school, she was contemplating whether to beat her on the head with her wooden sword to subdue her and give her an enslavement pill because her her ideal friends her her she were given immortality modifiers rather than a special event.

She even grew up, probably because of the star magic she used today, and seeing that she was already at level 15, it seemed like she wouldn’t have any more chances after tomorrow.

But if you think about it, there was no reason for her to covet Alice that much.

She was able to see the ending just by raising Marian well, and Deitz later became a freezing wizard who deals with the weather, and although she is not as good as Alice, she uses a useful wide-area attack.

‘I’ll make a decision later, but for now… Let’s see what they’re playing with.’

I silence the sound of my footsteps and begin to approach the tent.

Since it is a tent where alarm magic is spread out, approach carefully, take off one shoe, and push it little by little to the edge of the magic circle.

‘Just a little bit so that the alarm magic doesn’t recognize it…’

In this way, one line of the magic circle is completely covered.

Originally, it was neutralized by blocking part of the magic circle that was supposed to form the alarm magic by receiving starlight and charging mana.

In normal conditions, it should emit a soft light, but now it is dull and dead, so it must be in an inactive state.

Meanwhile, the trait of [Star Wizard] Was still fluttering.

As I approached the tent, my senses began to become more sensitive due to the adult mode, and a slightly sour sweat-like scent came out. It was not unpleasant, but rather pleasant as it irritated my nose.

‘Is it Alice’s unique body odor?’

I approached the tent, smelling a slightly intoxicating, sweet smell.

“Okay… “

As I listened to the sound coming from inside the tent, as if I was holding my breath, I felt something strange.

It was because my body was reacting every time I heard Alice’s body odor gradually becoming stronger and this voice that kept holding my breath.

In addition, the second [?] Was shining along with the exciting title of [Star Wizard], The tendency to apply to adult mode below it, and [Illusionist]…

‘What does that mean…?’

It means that the current situation is satisfying that tendency.

“…”

I understood the situation in an instant and tried to get out of here, but at that moment, I ended up crashing into Alice’s astronomical telescope.

“Uh oh!”

If these breaks, Alice will get very angry, so I was able to quickly grab the astronomical telescope, but instead, the wooden sword that was roughly hanging on my waist fell and hit one of the support pins that were holding the tent in place.

Pow!

In an instant, the holding pin burst and the entrance to the tent, which had been fixed stably, was blown away, and the entrance opened with the wind blowing at that moment.

Pearl-luck.

There she was seen, with her breasts half exposed, her underwear draped over her thighs, her right hand draped across her crotch.

The moment a mole stands out under her her bulging her right breast her her her, and my gaze follows her her hand her her her down into her skirt her her her …

Tiring-

Alice’s second tendency was being revealed.

[Outdoor Preference]
