022 – Boss: The Declaration #3
“Nike, are you hurt anywhere?”
“Yeah, except for the sprained ankle, I’m fine. Viktor, yes, blood from your head… !”
Nike seemed fine.
However, Nike was crying as if her beloved cat had died.
“Victor! your face… .”
“what’s the matter? Do I look that serious?”
“Here, a hand mirror!”
Nike held out a fragmented hand mirror to me.
「Splintered hand mirror 1/4: Before it broke, it seems to have been quite a high-end product. A mark of something is drawn on the back. If you put the rest of the pieces together, you might be able to figure it out… ?”
“Nike, this mirror… .”
“yes? Why?”
“No, no.”
When I looked at my face on the shiny glass surface, I could see blood dripping from my forehead. However, unlike the loud appearance, it didn’t hurt that much.
It’s just that the surface of the skin is cut and blood is flowing.
No bones or muscles were hurt at all from such a beating.
Could it be because of the quirk ＜Steel＞?
Damage below a certain attack power is halved or completely ignored.
It’s a surprisingly strong body.
Of course, Nike, who had no way of knowing that, started to weep.
“Victor, because of me! I couldn’t keep a promise!”
“Don’t make a fuss about it too much. We are partners.”
Nike was a guy who couldn’t even keep his promise to me because he couldn’t lie.
Still, he is an important partner in my business.
If Nike retires from these first-act punks, who will pull out my new herbs in the future?
“partner… .”
Nike muttered over and over again as if he really liked the word partner I mentioned. Then, as if he had made up his mind to do something, he wiped away his tears and spoke.
“Then, I’ll put some medicine on you! I’ve gathered a lot of herbs!”
“yes.”
Even if it’s a skinned wound, if germs get into it, it’ll be a big deal.
So me and Nike returned to the place where the hut had been built.
Upon seeing that miserable appearance, Nike exclaimed, “Oh, it’s all broken… .” he mumbled.
There was only one thing I could say to Nike.
“If the house is destroyed, we can rebuild it.”
“is it?”
“But this time, I’d rather build it like a real cabin.”
“Ugh… .”
It seemed like he was trying to refute something, but it was Nike who kept his mouth shut.
Soon, we picked up a few useful-looking “Low Grade Herbs” near the ruins of the house.
“The mortar and pestle is all broken. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to grind herbs like this.”
“You don’t have to apply drugs or anything like that.”
“I can’t! Victor, wait!”
Nike stuffed the medicinal herb into her mouth.
And then he wanted to chew it well.
“oh! I accidentally swallowed it!”
“What are you trying to do?”
“wait!”
Nike chews the bitter herb again, then spits it out and sticks it to my forehead.
“… … .”
“That’s how my dad taught me! In fact, the effect is better!”
What folk remedy is this?
* * *
“Did you hear? Tramps wearing black masks in the park… .”
“The organization of winter, you say? “Pimblebert”… .”
“Didn’t they all fall apart two years ago?”
“Looks like the student council subjugation team is chasing the ‘proclaimer’ right now.”
When I left the forest, people were already whispering in many places.
It is a national rule in the game that passing NPCs give hints about current events. It’s kind of fun because I’m experiencing it myself.
“Was there a fight in the park?”
In D&A, battles rarely take place inside the academy grounds.
Were you able to fight only during a duel event or a raid event?
Other than that, you cannot take weapons out of town.
However, in the second half of Act 1.
Boss Declaration – When Enrique comes to the fore.
There were cases in which assailants appeared here and there inside the academy, and the academy itself became a mess.
At that time, monsters and robbers will randomly appear in the market or hallway of the academy, and you can experience the battle.
That’s exactly how things are now.
“To think the first act is already coming to an end.”
Even if I intervened, isn’t the middle process too omitted?
Of course, it was good.
“If you finish the battle with Enrique well, the underground market will open. It makes a lot of money.”
rather good
They quickly cancel the first act, which is difficult to earn money, and quickly push through the underground market in the second act and the sailing content in the third act.
What do you know about episodes?
Paying off my debt comes first.
So Luke, please take care of me.
Act 1 boss Enrique’s pattern of summoning lots of henchmen is just annoying.
Also, moving around and running around in Phase 2 is annoying, but not difficult.
When I heard the students’ story earlier, they should have said that the student council’s subjugation team was chasing the ‘Declarant’. Chasing means that Enrique is running away.
It means that you have successfully completed the most cumbersome phase 1 by summoning a lot of henchmen and reached the 2nd phase where Enrique runs away to buy time.
At this time, there are a total of four places where Enrique can appear.
One is in front of the statues of the gods in the square.
One is the fountain in Central Student Park.
One is behind the old school teacher.
One is the main building of the student council.
Although it’s annoying to walk around the whole lot because I don’t know where it might appear. Thanks to that, players know every nook and cranny of the shortcuts to the academy grounds.
In other words, it is the boss who tells the production team, ‘Try using this shortcut.’
“I can easily beat Enrique in Phase 2.”
“Victor, what have you been muttering to yourself since earlier? Didn’t you hit the wrong head too? Aren’t you supposed to go to the therapist?”
“… … .”
In the future, I should talk less to myself.
“Then Nike. Since the afternoon class starts soon, I will go. You must also listen without skipping classes. That way you can aim for a scholarship.”
“Take a class in the current situation… ?”
With that feeling, I headed to the classroom.
Even if you receive the public notice in the morning, you don’t have to take classes in the afternoon.
Also, if you are Nike, you don’t have to be like this as long as you know that even if the little guys from Act 1 attack again, you can deal with them alone.
When I went to class A-1, the classroom was empty.
“… … .”
what.
Did the word “Today’s afternoon class is an outdoor class” circulate without my knowledge?
Has no one told me
Is there a group chat without me?
However, the curious thing was that the A-2 class and the B-1 class, which were right next to each other, were also empty. I had no choice but to grab hold of a student wandering around and ask.
“You there. stop it.”
“Oh, Victor. Is my outfit all right?”
“I’m not talking about clothes. It’s class time, but I can’t even see the teachers, let alone the students. How the hell did this happen?”
“What, didn’t you hear? All classes are canceled today! Some strange organization invaded Ludens, and the student council decided that!”
What is it?
I thought I was being bullied.
anyway.
It was a break, so time suddenly jumped up.
Originally, it would have been better to trim the ingredients to be cooked. There is nothing to do in a situation where Nike’s hut, which was storing materials, was blown up in the air.
No, since I thought of it, shall we go and look for a place?
In the future, it would be nice to find a place where you can store things like materials and luggage, and where you can sleep, in your spare time like now.

Just then, in my arms, there was a key I had received from Enio not long ago.
I haven’t been told where this key can be used, but you can ask Enio directly.
So I went to see Enio.
Finding Enio wasn’t difficult.
Enio is a delegate.
He’s a great guy who has his own dedicated office in the student union.
“What is it, Victor? Are they all looking for me in such a complicated situation?”
“It’s nothing. I’m going to ask about this key. Do you have some time now?”
“what… . I was a bit busy until now. It’s okay now.”
In the corner of the office where Enio’s eyes were directed, there were vagrant students tied up with ropes. These guys also came to Enio.
“You guys dare to harm Enio-sama. Do we look good? ok? Alecto, tie these guys tighter!”
“… yes, fine.”
It’s quite strange to see twin sisters who look just like the two of them having a conversation.
Enio said.
“Victor-kun, I know you ran all the way here because you were worried about me. As you can see, I have great friends. But I will be grateful from my heart.”
… No, I wasn’t worried about you.
Because he knows how difficult the opponents are to the Megaira, Alecto, and Tisiphone twins who protect Enio.
I’m rather worried about the henchmen in Act 1 who attack Enio.
“Rather than that, this is the key. Where can I use this key?”
Enio smiles and laughs.
“I get it. You’re trying to evacuate to a safer place than this well-known place, right? Certainly, the warehouse is a quiet and safe place. Viktor-kun, you have a good sense.”
I didn’t know what Enio was talking about, but it was annoying to explain this and that, so I decided to just nod.
“It is as you say.”
“Okay, then let’s go there. It’s not too far from here.”
* * *
We left the student union building, which was rather cluttered and noisy.
It must have been when I walked for about 5 minutes past several teachers with a lot of club rooms.
“Here.”
The place where Enio’s steps stopped was a place quite familiar to me.
“The warehouse of the old school has been empty for a long time. You know Viktor-kun, who was on the executive committee, well, right?”
Old teacher.
It was a place I visited a lot for the side quest ‘Ludens 7 Wonders’.
“They say it belonged to a senior who was older than us. It must have been abandoned and neglected since about two years ago.”
A warehouse located behind the old school building.
I also had a pretty good relationship with this place.
This is where the main character Luke later puts in furniture, decorates ornaments, and puts in an item storage box as a housing system.
“… … .”
Can I write here?
“Is there anything else besides here?”
“I don’t have it right now. Originally, this place was also intended to be sold to the student council. We are adjusting.”
The original story is that this warehouse sold to the student council is handed over to Luke, the main character who cleared the 4th episode, and decorates this and that.
do i get that?
good.
Luke will take care of it.
Now is not the time for me to take care of him.
“Then let’s go in.”
Crackle, crackle.
When I opened the tightly locked lock, I saw a warehouse with a rather familiar feel.
The site is quite large.
About 20 sqm.
Big enough to put furniture and stuff.
“It would be perfect for a club club.”
If you put a bed over there, you can sleep here.
It’s a little dusty and there’s a lot of cobwebs, but that’s it, just hold me for a day and clean it.
“Are these from the previous owner?”
I picked up a picture frame lying nearby.
「Broken Frame: For the eternal friendship of the club ‘Autumn Leaves’ on the photo- is written.」
autumn leaves.
Where did you hear that name?
There were a total of four pictures of many people laughing together.
One is in front of the statues of the gods in the square.
One is the fountain in Central Student Park.
One is behind the old school teacher.
One is the main building of the student council.
“… … .”
These places, I remember something.
“Enio, here. You said it was abandoned two years ago, right?”
“Yeah, isn’t it very old? A little cleaning… .”
“No, that’s not what I want to ask. Do you know anything about the student who was the former owner of this warehouse?”
“yes? Not many. I think he said he was expelled. Intertwined with some kind of reactionary thing. Oh, come to think of it, it’s similar to what’s happening now.”
Not similar.
same.
Accident?
The places in the picture here are the same places where Enrique, the boss in Act 1, runs away from here and there when he reaches Phase 2.
“To these guys, it must have been a place of memories.”
Wasn’t it simply four random locations?
It was then.
“Damn it, those bastards… . Whoa, whoa… .”
Someone came into the warehouse breathing heavily.
He is about 173 cm tall. Dressed like a rider in an old leather jacket.
The red hair is strangely bad, and the eyes and ears are full of piercings.
But what caught my eye the most was his instrument.
The guy had a long trumpet.
I know his name
“Enrique.”
