183 – Messy (3)
“This, profit…”
“…Hey.”
Until Rumia opened the door of her store with a confident expression on her face and entered her warehouse, I really thought she had some brilliant solution.
“eeek…”
“…….”
However, when she entered her storage room, headed towards the corner of her room and started slamming into it with all her might, those thoughts were quickly forgotten.
“What are you doing now?”
“Ah, senior. You too, come here quickly and hit us.”
“…What?”
“If you keep rubbing here, you can break through the wall. It’s true.”
What kind of bullsh*t is he talking about now?
“Lumia, this is reality…”
“…And there are all kinds of mysteries and special abilities.”
“That’s true, but you can’t break through a wall by rubbing yourself against the corner…”
“It’s because you don’t know this well yet.”
She tried to stop her by holding her head, but Lumia was stubborn.
“Ah, did you say you have to jump here too?”
“I don’t know what that action means, but no matter how I look at it, it seems hopeless.”

“Profit, benefit… This doesn’t work out well in the first place. I have to do it 100 times to see if it will work or not, but instead, I can save a lot of time…”
“…In that case, wouldn’t it be better to walk to avoid the eyes of the androids?”
“They secretly have high performance. It’s close to impossible to just get through them.”
“…I heard you have some luck left? Shouldn’t you take advantage of it?”
Now I can no longer watch that figure, sweating and running so hard on her edge, that I sigh and ask, and Lumia, who pauses for a moment to wipe the sweat from her forehead, answers my question.
“I still have some luck left, but it only applies to harm that comes to ‘this body’.”
“What exactly does that mean?”
“Even if I try to do something with intention, luck does not apply, but if someone tries to stab me, luck is activated. It would be easier to think of it as a conditional passive rather than an active.”
“Umm…”
“So, we can’t break through those androids. We won’t die from them, but if they force us to evacuate to a safe area without harming them, there’s no answer.”
“…Then it would be better for me to step forward.”
“Once they attack, the guys buried in the basement of the academy will attack all at once. If that happens, the mission’s success rate will be extremely low.”
After hearing her words, I think I can roughly understand why she chose the detour.
“So… Profit. Just wait a moment… If you do a little more, it will definitely be… Profit…”
However, the problem with that detour is that the jump show is held in a corner.
“…Over there.”
“It’s strange. It definitely felt like this…”
“Lumia.”
Thanks to that, I looked pitifully at Rumia, who was rubbing her body in the corner for a while longer. Then, I sighed and grabbed her shoulder, which was about to jump for an unknown number of times, and turned her towards me.
“Stop it now.”
“But…”
“…The bandages are all messed up.”
The bandage she had wrapped around her body was already on the verge of falling off. It seemed like her body was constantly being shocked and fell apart.
– Sigh…
“Ah…”
For this reason, I was quietly holding her shoulder with my hand and re-wrapping her bandage with my other hand, and Rumia was looking at me with a slightly dazed expression.
“…I can do it alone.”
She then quietly lowers her head, mutters in a low voice, and her face blushes.
“”…….””
And then the silence began.
“…Let’s go now.”
“But…”
“This is reality, Lumia.”
I quietly opened my mouth in that silence and said this as I re-tightened her bandages.
“It’s good to work hard, but isn’t that too much?”
“Oh, no… It should be clear…”
“You have to distinguish between virtuality and reality, right?”
“But you are right in front of me.”
But after her continued words, I was speechless for a moment and was left speechless.
“…Anyway, let’s not do anything useless and find a detour.”
After saying that, he held her hand again.
“I spent a lot of money at the store… To get the key to this place…”
“…….”
“I even liked the cafeteria lady who wasn’t interested… My money… My time…”
Soon, while listening to Lumia’s sullen lament, I quietly headed towards the exit.
“…Huh?”
As soon as I grabbed the doorknob and turned it, I couldn’t help but widen my eyes.
“What the f*ck.”
“…What’s wrong, senior?”
“The door won’t open.”
“Yes?”
For some reason, the doorknob creaked and did not open.
“Why is this like this?”
“…Wait a minute.”
As I continued to turn the doorknob with a slightly embarrassed expression, I heard Lumia’s low voice coming from behind me.
“So you and me are locked in this room now?”
“…….”
“Maybe I won’t be able to go out forever.”
Was it my mistake that her voice was shaking with excitement?
“Hey, senior. Have you ever heard of it? It’s a room you can’t leave if you don’t…”
“…Kkeuk. Destroy it.”
“Oh, wait a minute…”
– Kwasik…!
I realized from what she said next that it was not an illusion, so I urgently called Kkyeoreuk and broke down the door of the cafeteria with the doorknob.
– Kkrrr…!
“…Tsk. There wasn’t much chance left.”
Then, Lumia glared at Kyauri, who was licking my hand, with slightly cold eyes, and then grunted and muttered.
“No, it would be better for you not to do it with this body…”
“…Let’s go out.”
I tried to ignore her mutterings and opened the torn door slightly by force.
“Wait a minute.”
“Why again?”
I stopped for the second time and opened my eyes.
“This… Isn’t the first basement floor?”
“…Yes?”
“It’s an annex, right?”
When I opened the door, the sight that came before my eyes was not the basement of the academy where the store was located, but the annex of the academy that was located a long way away.
“What on earth is this…?”
“It’s a real annex.”
Then, Lumia, who was looking around with a fierce expression like me, muttered in a low voice.
“It was the place where I first met that unlucky returner while clearing out the demonic beasts in the early Academy attack incident…”
Then, she soon began to quietly notice me.
“…Ta-da.”
Then, Lumia soon calmed down her expression, spread her arms wide, and smiled.
“Success. Huh, Glitz? Was that it?”
“…Glitch.”
“Yes, that’s it. hahahaha…”
Apart from the fact that it looked truly absurd and different from the previous image, what kind of situation is this now?
The only thing that can do this is Hero Transfer.
But she transfers people or objects to another space, and now we have moved to another place in space.
‘…What the hell is going on?’
No matter how I looked at the phenomenon that had just occurred, it did not seem to have been caused by the ridiculous behavior that Lumia had claimed, so I wanted to investigate the room right away.
However, given the current situation, there was no time for that.
“Follow me.”
“…Oh.”
“You probably haven’t been to the dormitory much.”
Because of this, I grabbed Rumia’s arm, who was smiling awkwardly, and quickly made her walk.
“It would be impossible from the front gate, but if it is an annex, there is a way to get to the dormitory without being detected.”
“…How do you know that?”
“You don’t know anything.”
As she continued to walk, ignoring the words of Rumia, who suddenly began to make a sinister expression, the route that had become familiar to her body began to appear in her eyes.
Now that I think about it, it’s been a long time since I’ve been here. For some reason, memories of the past come to mind. Now is the time to think about it…
“…Is this where you came with Justia?”
“…….”
I was trying to swallow the memories that came to mind and avoid the eyes of the androids moving outside, but I stopped for a moment when I heard Lumia’s words from behind me.
“It somehow seemed like that…”
“……..”
“Hey, but I have a question. Did you like Justia? Or…”
“…Hey.”
After standing still and listening to her laughing voice for a while, I soon interrupted Rumia and whispered in a cold voice.
“Don’t cross the line.”
When she said that, Rumia silently kept her mouth shut.
“…I understand.”
Then, after looking at her sullenly as she lowered her head again for a moment, I added to her words in a low voice and started to walk again.
“He’s already dead.”
“……”
“…It doesn’t matter anyway.”
But contrary to what he said, my heart suddenly became the most depressed it had been in a while.

– What a surprise…!
“Kyaaa!?”
Meanwhile, at that time. First-year female dormitory.
“hehehe! There are a lot of green girls!”
Diamond crouched down and smashed his body against the wall, breaking through, shouting loudly at the terrified female students and pulling out a photo from his arms.
“But guys, have you ever seen the child in this photo?”
In that photo, even though she was young, she looked a lot like Minamoto Himari.
“”……..””
But, aside from being frightened by the unidentified old man who was dressed suspiciously, the female students were just trembling in silence because there was no one they knew who was similar to him.
“…If you don’t have one, you can only compare them one by one!”
“”……..!””
Diamond, who was looking at them, crushed the torn-off head of the android she was holding in one hand and shouted in a loud voice again, and their faces began to turn pale.
