Episode 13
Three Man Expedition
Rand’s jaw falls open.
“From the school office?! If we get caught we’ll be expelled!”
“But if it keeps going like this we’ll be expelled anyway.”
“That’s right..”
Rand closes his jaw.
“Okay, fine. But, why separate from the rest of the group?”
“If we sneak into the school room and get caught, we will definitely be expelled. The school rules, the ones in the fine print on our student ID card, clearly state that anyone who enters the faculty rooms without permission will be expelled. “
“So?”
“If I propose this in front of the whole class, about half of the people will disagree. I think some of the less honorable people will try to stop us for fear of the risk of collective responsibility. ” ‘There must be a better way than taking such a dangerous way.’ The fools would say this and then we would have to contend with the opposition, never getting anything accomplished.”
“I see.”
“I thought that you would agree with me, so I’m asking you. It takes 30 minutes from here to the faculty offices.There is only one hour and thirty minutes remaining. Hurry.”
The condition for clearing this is to find our building.
It is not necessary for everyone to go to the class school building. We win regardless if all or one of us is there.
“What if there is no class building in a place that can be reached within an hour and a half?”
“We lose.”
“Ick.”
Should we have done something else before?
No, it would have been a foolish idea to move before the puzzle map was completed. That could have been the correct answer. There is no point in regretting it.
“I wonder if we can do it alone. “
“Hmph.”
Himari appeared behind Rand.
“I heard everything. We’re heading to the faculty offices. Follow me.
Himari’s hair swishes and she turns on foot in direction of the faculty building, where the teachers offices are.
“… I don’t like that woman.”
“…”
-I agree.
However, it was good to have the cooperation of Himari. Rand alone was barely any help.
◆
In front of the faculty building, we come to a halt behind a small shack.
The faculty building is a long, rectangular and well worn building. Around the building, there are creepy creatures with only bat wings, a round, orange sized body with eyes the size of quarters,
“What’s that?”
Hiding behind the shack, Himari begins to explain.
“They are the familiar Aogel. It’s kinda like a moving video recorder. It’s peculiar to see so many in one place, though.”
“Should we kill them?”
Rand seems ready to fight.
“You’re stupid. If you do that, the familiar master will come.”
I agree with Himari.
“Then what are you doing, Princess Himari?!”
“Using invisibility, moron.”
Himari casts a spell.
“[Covert]”
When Himari chanted, a magic circle wrapped around us.
Himari swings her wand toward me, Rand, and herself. A ball of light appeared and made our bodies become transparent.
“Uh! My body has disappeared!”
“Now, we’re invisible to those creatures..”
“It’s amazing that you can use this kind of magic, Himari! I thought you were just a sarcastic jerk.”
“It’s natural that I’m amazing, right? You don’t have to say it again.”
Ugh.
“How long is the effect time of [Covert]?”
When I heard it, the voice seemingly came out of nowhere.
“5 minutes.”
“… Hey, isn’t it hard with that much time?”
“If the effect is about to run out, we will call it again.”
“… I’m downgraded from a servant to a monkey …”
“I don’t have time to chat. Look at the top of the stairs outside. There is an emergency door. I’ll break in from there.”
Follow Himari’s guidance, we begin our journey up the stairs.. Slowly, we don’t make sound.
Until the end of the game, 1 hour 50 minutes left.
The fate of the White Tiger group is on the shoulders of us three.
