20 – 020 – Boss: The Declaration #1
020 – Boss: The Prophet #1
An evening where Nike and Victoria decide to sleep together.
I sat near the campfire and listened quietly.
Sukdeok Sukdeok.
“… … .”
I know the two women are talking about something.
I can’t even hear what you’re saying at all.
Nike’s hut – no, a hut.
Soundproofing is better than I thought for something made by roughly weaving grass and twigs together.
However, he does not do anything inelegant, such as eavesdropping on conversations with his ears.
It was as if I could picture in my head what was going on inside the cabin even if I wasn’t listening.
Since when did you start dating Viktor?
It might be stamped on by the Arkwright family, but can you afford it?
Recall Victoria’s personality as portrayed in D&A.
“I will try to convince you.”
Victoria who captured the boss of Act 1, Enrique the Declaration. She tried to placate Enrique, who caused a local terror in Ludens.
– Even now, if I tell you the truth, I can take it into consideration. Breaking the protective barrier and attacking the students? I don’t think simple expelled people would have done this.
Such is Victoria’s personality.
A character that shows mercy even to enemies.
At the same time, there is also a ruthless coolness.
-Are there other people involved besides you? If you don’t tell me, I’ll just judge you according to the student council law.
Probably because of that personality, there is a high probability that Nike is roasting and boiling here and there.
“… … .”
I might get caught tonight.
Nike is not a person who is good at lying even if he pretends to be.
But.
It was assumed in its own way that Nike would be caught lying to Victoria.
If you have to, you have no choice but to use that method.
But is it really okay? I ask myself.
“It is not difficult to give an answer.”
time is gold. Of course, the worry is short-lived.
“I don’t care what the method is as long as I can get away from the Arcwright family.”
paying off debt.
And to heal like never before.
These are my two biggest goals.
If only these two things can be achieved, the method is good.

Jingle.
I checked my pockets full of Renee to organize my thoughts.
5 million Renae as a tier 1 hunting quest reward and 2.5 million Renae from yesterday’s sales.
Even if he stocked up on this and that, he earned about 6 million René in the past week.
Even if he cuts half of Nike’s share, he earns 3 million Renées in a week.
Twelve million, four weeks a month.
Are you making 12 million a month?
In one year, it is about 130 million René.
Excluding interest, it was a number that seemed to be slightly short of my goal of repaying 200 million René within a year.
Even so, it can be seen as a compliant achievement for starting with nothing.

Just going like this will be enough.
If there are no variables, that is.
“You should always think about variables.”
I decided to check the stories that could be my variables while arranging future plans.
First of all, did the school opening ceremony in Act 1 end safely?
From about the second week after school starts, the organization “Pimblebert” will start to move.
The plot of Act 1 is that Luke, the main character, solves the accident caused by the guys and builds his reputation.
Is there anything I care about in that story?
I don’t think so.
The only enemies that will appear sequentially in the future are those that Luke can deal with. At the end, it felt like Enrique, the executive, appeared with the feeling of ‘I’ll have to step in myself!’
Enrique is quite tough for an early boss, but he is no match for Luke, who has grown step by step.
Anyway, I’m the main character.
“You’ll be fine with that one.”
my nose is stone

Passeuk.
There was the sound of something stepping on a dry branch.
Awakened by the shaking of the bonfire, I looked around.
rabbit?
No, it weighs quite a bit more than that.
The only creatures larger than rabbits in this forest are students looking for “spice grass”.
But most of the time after midnight, I’m probably asleep.
Above all, it was strange to make so many footsteps.
what’s going on
“Who are you?”
Thanks to Viktor’s insensitivity, I was able to ask into the dark night air. Then, taking advantage of the dark bush, several dark shadows appeared.
They were beings wearing black masks.
A mixed group of men and women.
Is it a midnight raid event?
I thought it was about time to happen.
If you have a negative reputation, you will experience it at least once.
“What are you?”
“We are winter.”
“We are revelations!”
It was a familiar line that seemed to have been heard somewhere.
It’s a little different from the raid event.
However, something came out of the hut faster than I thought.
“Victor! We must respond to the ambush!”
She was Victorica, holding a glowing ivory staff. When Victoria slammed her wand on the floor, a very dazzling light emanated from it.
“Get up! Flash flower!”
I never thought the day would come when I could see Victoria’s basic skill, Flash.
It was a simple and powerful skill that stuns and blinds the opponent for 2 turns.
“Ouch, snow!”
“Ew!”
“Gagh!”
Isn’t the effect too good?
It’s not a flash grenade, it’s an incandescent grenade.
“… this. The power of my flash?”
Surprisingly, Victoria herself seemed to be the same.
Victoria looked at the black mask lying on the floor and at the [Arclight staff] she was holding, then asked me.
“Victor, being attacked! What the hell is going on?”
“I do not know.”
ugh
My stomach hurt.
Because I just lied.
No, in fact, strictly speaking, ‘I don’t know’ wasn’t a lie.
I know, I know.
Ambiguous feeling.
“Ugh, it’s suddenly very noisy. what the hell… .”
Nike, perhaps awakened by the loud noise, rubbed his eyes as well. Then Nike shouted as he saw the black shadows lying on the floor.
“Look at the debtors! He noticed that I was making money lately and came to collect money!”
No, I don’t know, but I don’t think so.
“Gee, run away!”
“You’re stronger than I heard!”
“I’ve never heard you’re this strong!”
The black masks must have regained their energy from «The Flash» before they knew it, and began to help their comrades get out.
“at there!”
Victoria follows after him.
“Victor, let’s go! Those guys must have come looking for my gap! This is a challenge to the student council!”
I said it so naturally, but I also had to say something.
“Victoria, I am no longer on the Executive Committee.”
“That… .”
To my point, Victoria seemed to have grasped the situation.
Viktor, who is not a member of the executive committee, has no obligation to pursue those gangsters.
I don’t know if those guys steal my stuff.
Perhaps realizing that, Victoria immediately said curtly, “Then you were sucking your fingers here!” and then chased after them and disappeared.
* * *
the next morning.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Nike and I brushed our teeth and washed our faces at the park sink near the forest.
No conversation was necessary during this process.
It must have been the last few days.
However, today’s Nike was a little different.
“What was it about last night? I thought they were debt collectors. I guess it wasn’t.”
“Nike, from my point of view, he was not a debtor.”
“is it… ?”
“Rather than that, it’s about last night.”
I wanted to ask Nike what she and Victoria talked about last night. I didn’t think Viktor would have a sophisticated way of speaking, so I asked straight-forward.
“You weren’t caught lying to Victoria, right?”
“That, that… .”
“You got caught.”
“Yeah, but you’re telling me I have to take responsibility! Viktor I’m sorry! I was trying to hide it somehow!”
It was just as expected, so it was rather surprising.
me.
Now that I see it, it turns out that he was a deceased person of a greater level than he thought.
However, today’s Victorica probably doesn’t have enough time to worry about breaking up with me.
“Things are going weird.”
“It’s my fault! I promised! I am stupid!”
Nike prostrated himself in front of me and was busy apologizing. Did you think things were going wrong because of you?
I thought it was faster to show Nike than to explain it in words.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the incident was not too far away.
It is 8 p.m., before the first period begins.
A strange incident made all the students of Ludens noisy.
It was like some kind of performance art.
“Who would do such a terrible thing… !”
“That guy is dead… !?”
“Ugh… not dead… . drop me off quickly… .”
A student hanging tied to the frame of a cross.
It looked painful as if it had rolled over a cliff.
“It’s terrible… !”
“Who would do that… !”
“no… , Don’t just watch, ask me to take it down… .”
but.
What caught people’s attention was neither the painful student nor the strange frame of the cross, but the sign hanging above it.
“A crown is a lie.”
“Is the crown a lie? What do you mean?”
“I don’t know. Rather, someone drop him off!”
“You bad guys… , you guys are worse… .”
Everyone was perplexed and puzzled.
I also had a curious side.
Installations and signs that attract everyone’s attention.
Isn’t this the work of the declaring man-Enrique?
It must have been a few more weeks before Enrique’s own event could happen?
Why, there are villainous executives who say, ‘Useless bastards, I have to step in myself!’ That guy is Enrique.
Why are there already boss events that should only appear after there is an episode in which the bad guys step forward and fail again and again?
what.
go bugeun
But on the other hand, I thought it might be a good opportunity.
When Luke defeats Enrique, Act 1 ends and Act 2, the real story, begins.
Act 2 is the episode where the ‘underground market’ is activated for the first time.
underground market.
It’s a name that smells like money just by looking at it, right?
There are many other ingredients that can only be obtained in the underground market.
It was a time when I was organizing my head with that feeling.
“Um, are you Viktor senior?”
someone called me
“I heard that you are looking for a senior at the student meeting?”
“The first period starts soon? no time.”
“They know how to say that and they say they will issue a public judgment. They say that lunch is provided as a boxed lunch.”
“On second thought, I have some time left.”
It’s not like I’m trying to solidify my lunch money with a lunch box.
“Nike, I’m leaving, so take care of lunch today.”
“… uh? yes! Then I’ll prepare the ingredients!”
I think you can listen to what the student council is calling me about.
A lunch box at the public meeting that is good even if you legally skip class. At least it’s not a bottom-line business.
The head of the student meeting that I visited like that.
There were several students sitting there with serious expressions on their faces.
The faces of guys who are only in their mid-teens now, embracing all kinds of agony.
But most of them are familiar faces.
The main character ‘special transfer student’ Luke, ‘vice president’ Victoriaka, and ‘prospect’ Dearmid.
And this short blond tanned man… .
“I am Gawen, the club leader of the 3rd year swordsmanship club. Are you Viktor?”
After all, it’s ‘Sun’ Gawen.
It was an attacker used when forming a strange party with the 《Golden Sun》 skill, which became stronger during the time when the sun was rising.
It is a great member entry in its own way.
You can go into the dungeon like this.
So, why did these precious people call me?
At that time, Gawen, a blonde and tanned man, asked me a question.
“Victor, do you know anything about these guys called [Pimblebert]?”
