Chapter 41 School Trip (4)
therefore.
I fluttered my hands on the playground as I left all the buses. Corrado was doing the same thing next to him.
“… … All gone.”
“Yes.”
I was relieved that Cora was comfortable talking.
At first, when I was with you, I trembled as I used an unfamiliar honorific. I was not used to respectful words, so I made a mistake while doing it, and then I trembled even more.
I didn’t really try to convince Cora, and I just let it go.
After all, the fear of me will disappear after all. I myself don’t know why.
At this rate, it seems like it won’t be long before we can see Cora chattering like before.
… … Is that good?
“I wanted to go, Cropol.”
“Let’s go next time. You can go by yourself.”
I stroked Cora’s hair.
There is no bus to pick me up. Because we don’t go to Kropol.
It travels to the vicinity, but it also does not go by bus. Another vehicle is ready.
Boo-woong-
Just then, a small car came and stopped in front of me.
The car window went down, and inside was the teacher Isamaya.
“get on.”
“Yes.”
I sat in the passenger seat, and Cora sat in the back seat. The car left without delay.
As I walked, Isamaya glanced at me briefly.
“it’s okay?”
Isamaya asked.
“What?”
“Educational Travel. It’s a rare event from my precious school days.”
“ha ha ha.”
I laughed out loud. Isamaya is like a teacher at times like this. obviously.
“it’s okay.”
As he spoke, he smiled naturally. I can feel the heat in my body.
“It’s going to be more fun than that.”
[Main Quest: Indus Extermination Operation]
•Description: The Indus plan has been revealed. Stop the plan and take down the Indus members.
•Goal: Defeat Indus members and leaders.
•Compensation: Differentially paid according to the number of suppressed people.
•Possibility of entering ‘anarchy’ in case of failure.
Indus sweep operation.
It is an event that must be held at some point in the game.
An event that runs in a straight line towards game over in case of failure.
From the player’s point of view, it might be comforting to say that the emperor will only change, but it is not.
“Frondie. You said the purpose of the Indus is to destroy the class.”
“Yes.”
“What would the world be like if it really succeeded? Will the Indus do what it wants?”
Isamaya still seemed to have doubts about the Indus plans.
After all, these guys are trying to do big things.
And Isamaya’s intuition was right.
“No, the Indus will fail. Even going into anarchy is a problem.”
“What if there is anarchy? why?”
Isamaya tilted her head. She must have found it difficult to enter anarchy in the first place. Of course that’s right. It is only possible that the Indus will overthrow the throne. The quest is suggesting that too.
But even if it succeeds, the Indus collapses.
The Indus overlooked one thing in their ‘revolution’.
It is the existence of ‘Mangot’.
“Teacher, do you know about Mangot?”
“… … It’s even more surprising that it came out of your mouth.”
I guess I know.
Mangots do not disguise their identities like the Indus.
Those who know about Mangot, everyone knows exactly what Mangot is.
I said.
“The Indus will not be able to extinguish the fires of Mangot. The state of anarchy is a situation in which the empire has weakened to the point where there is no more. Of course, we can’t leave Mangot alone.”
“You mean the Indus didn’t expect Mangot to attack?”
“no. We are just underestimating Mangot.”
Like the Indus, it is impossible to measure the size of Mangot.
But it is clear that the two hate each other. Just look at the insults Selena and Kraken threw at each other.
And there is a clear ‘ignorance’ underlying that hate. That is the result of strangling the Indus.
“You mean Mangot and Indus are fighting each other for control of the empire?”
“It will not. Because Mangot has no interest in the government.”
“then?”
“What Mangot wants is just revenge.”
At my answer, Isamaya tilted her head.
“Then there is no reason for Mangot to attack the Indus, is there? You destroyed the empire.”
“To Mango, the Indus are also members of the Empire. Indus wants to seize power, but Mangot wants the empire to be destroyed.”
In that sense, class revolution in the true sense is closer to Mangot.
The fire that they devour the entire empire does not discriminate between nobles and commoners.
Of course, it’s game over.
“… … Well, it would be best to stop the Indus for now. I will worry about Mangot later.”
“That is wise. If you block the Indus, Mangot won’t move.”

Not yet.I looked out the window for a moment.
We are now heading to the public railway. An aerial railroad connecting two distant cliffs in the air.
It’s to make sure the students are safe while passing the train in case Indus really goes crazy.
During my iteration of the game, the Indus had never blown up a train, but the teachers’ anxiety is understandable. The reality may be different.
And our operation will start there.
But before that.
“Sir Isamaya.”
“why?”
“I have something to tell you.”
“What? If it’s about the operation, tell the headmaster. I’m driving right now.”
“no. This is a story I will only tell the teacher.”
“Only me?”
Isamaya wrinkled her nose and glanced at me.
There are no other teachers now, and no one is listening except for Cora.
You can’t miss this opportunity.
“I-“
* * *
As students enter the train one after another, Malia examines her ‘sense sharing’.
‘It seems that the president has already arrived, and Mrs. Jane is in the rear car.’
Even if they responded to the Indus, the school trip had to go without any problems, so the teachers at Constell were divided into two teams.
The group that leads the students and the team that will take action and respond to the Indus.
Malia grasps the situation with the students and the entire trip, and reports it to the Chancellor Osfried. In other words, he is the de facto commander of the lead team. What makes this possible is, of course, her ability ‘sense sharing’.
‘After all, I should have shared the senses with Frontier.’
Malia’s sensory sharing is competent, but there is a limit to the number of people it can hang at the same time. After all the key personnel were given sensory sharing, it became impossible to identify the Frontier.
Osprit said that Frontier would carry out his mission in an extremely safe place, which was fortunate, but he had no choice but to worry.
“Hey, sir.”
As I was putting the students on the train, Aten approached Malia.
“Mr. Frontier, is the train the next one?”
“Oh, right. It’s convenient to think that Frontier has a completely different schedule.”
“… … okay.”
Aten struggled to hide his disappointment and entered the train.
And after a while, this time Cybel came and asked.
“Sir, which one is the class 5 vehicle? Can I move?”
“Oh, we’re moving, you can tell the teacher in charge.”
“okay. Thank you~”
Cybel who responds politely, yet with aggression. Malia said after looking behind him for a moment.
“Just in case, there is no Frontier.”
“Eh?”
“He’s doing volunteer work. You will go in a different vehicle than us.”
Cybel looked back at Malia in surprise and rolled her eyes, then came to her senses and said.
“Ah, ha ha! child, teacher. I’m not going because of Frontier. Why would I? I just want to talk to the 5th graders.”
Malia also smiled kindly at him.
“I see. Be nice to each other.”
“Yes, yes.”
And Cybel entered.
After that, Aster, Selena, Lunia, and even Robald came in turn and asked about Frontier. Malia sent the students away with an almost identical answer.
‘Why is my son so popular?’
Reputation and reality are very different. Even now, I occasionally hear about Frontier, but it’s not much different from before. To most students, Frontier was still a human sloth.
But still, does anyone know?
“Hey, sir.”
Then another student approached Malia.
This time it was Elodie.
Malia responded like an automatic reflex without realizing it.
“The Frontier is the next car.”
“… … uh? yes?”
“Oh, um, sorry. Wasn’t that what you meant to ask?”
Elodie tried to understand Malia’s words, but her face turned red in an instant.
“Why, why did you think I would ask that?”
“… … just?”
Everyone who knows Frontier has come to ask about it, just.
But at Malia’s answer, Elodie’s face turned even redder.
“Why, why, even the teacher, are you saying that… … .”
Elodie remembered the conversation he had with Aster a while ago.
Aster also said, ‘Yeah, why did you do that?’ I answered something like that, even Malia?
what? Why is everyone talking about Frontier to me?
“Ugh, I’m sorry. So what were you trying to ask?”
Of course, Malia didn’t know what Elodie was thinking, so she asked again.
“Ah, that, that, that. Where is the bathroom?”
“… … You were instructed to wait for the toilet once before boarding the train.”
“ah! Yes! thank you!”
Elodie nodded and walked quickly. No toilet, just boarding the train.
It was almost like running away.
“Aren’t you going to the bathroom? Well, there wasn’t much time left.”
Some students feel diuretic for nothing because they are nervous. I made the students go to the bathroom once while waiting, so Elodie will probably be fine too.
[I will tell you. Soon the train to Kropol departs. All passengers, please get on the train.]
A voice guidance was heard inside the station, and Malia got on the train.
After the instructors checked the number of people in each class on the train, they made an OK sign in front of them with their fingers. Malia confirmed it with sensory sharing. nothing strange.
Cheokkong-
There was the sound of heavy metal dropping. It was the sound of a train leaving.
At the same time, a color of tension appeared on the faces of the teachers. From now on, you can’t go back.
This train will head for the public railway. Frontier said nothing would happen, but from the teacher’s point of view, that’s just a wish.
‘Then the president… … .’
Malia sat down and checked Osfrit’s vision through sensory sharing.
‘… … yes?’
However, the scenery was a bit strange. The trees were too low and there was no road in sight. It was difficult to know where Osfried was standing now.
Malia, who had been checking Osprit’s vision for a while, realized immediately.
‘… … you’re floating in the sky Far above the public railroad.’
Apparently, Osprey was also fully prepared to welcome the guest’s visit.
