5 – 005 – Whose Hand Does the Goddess of Victory Hold # 1
005 – Whose hand does the goddess of victory hold # 1
After being kicked out of the student council dormitory, I decided to solve the housing problem.
Food, clothing and shelter.
Everything is important, but finding a place to stay was the most important thing in Ludens at night.
Fortunately, Ludens, created by the benevolent gods, had plenty of dormitory facilities for students.
I may not be an ordinary resident of Ludens Island, but since I am a student, I have the right to stay in a relatively better and cheaper dormitory.
“dormitory? Viktor, are you asking me if I have a room in the regular student dorm?”
“yes.”
“Puff.”
Puhahahahaha – and laughter erupted from here and there.
The students in the management office of the regular student dormitory must have found it very funny that I appeared in front of them and asked for a room.
“Did you all hear? Viktor, who was as stiff as an iron stick, is bowing his head in front of us.”
“Correct it. I never bowed my head.”
The fat student who had just laughed at me was taken aback when I stared at him bluntly.
“No, that’s what it says. words. Unfortunately, we don’t have a room for you, Victor. None of us will give you a room, Viktor.”
what? The dormitory talks back?
I have no choice but to ask why.
“Why?”
“That’s right, no one wants to share a room with you. Unlike the dormitory dedicated to the noble student council, we are in a 4-person room. Do you know? So go.”
Is it a 4-person dorm?
It reminded me of scenes where the main character, Luke, lived in a dormitory during the semester. Did your dorm roommate change every playthrough?
However, once a roommate is selected, it lasts for more than four years until graduation.
Because of that, some guys reset the game until they’ve collected roommates they like. It’s called Roomie Run.
It’s similar to gathering the neighbors you want in 「Gather, Animal House」 or something. I also tried the roommate run a few times, but it wasn’t very fun.
Anyway, the important thing now is not this, but the story of the main character, Luke.
The main character, Luke, is a transfer student and from the first day he came to enter the dormitory, he bumped into Viktor, a member of the executive committee, and received a lot of penalty points for fighting.
What comes out of that is the student council law.
“A person who lives in Ludens. Everyone enjoys freedom of residence. The dormitory was built as a building for the convenience and residence of students, and no one can deny or forbid it.”
“What, what are you talking about now?”
“This is the content of Article 3, Paragraph 22 of the Student Council Act. read it.”
I could see the student, whose face was greasy because he had gained weight, was very embarrassed. Shall we say a little more?
“The reasons you speak are extremely personal. There’s no reason why you can’t let me into the dorm. I was demoted but a student here. You have the right to enter the dormitory.”
“Big… !”
“If you refuse, the executive committee members of the student council will come. If that happens, there may be a few new dormitory management positions. You guys will be kicked out of good posts, so your face will lose weight too.”
In response to my assertion, the dormitory management students started to notice each other.
“What? Is Viktor right? Is there such a clause?”
“do not know. More than that, Viktor, why are you so picky when you’re not a member of the executive committee anymore? I thought you would be down, but it’s no different from before.”
“No, it’s worse than before. You were a little more reticent before. I think it was better then!”
“… But don’t you look a little handsome? What is the ring on your left hand? I heard you broke up with Miss Arclight. Rumor has it that he has another woman… .”
“I can hear everything.”
When I alerted them, they cleared their throats.
Soon, the guy who opened and read the extremely thick student council law book said, “It really is. Article 3, clause 22.” and the atmosphere was largely settled.
“Okay, give me a room. It’s not like I’m really scared of you, uhm, I’m just following the rules, so don’t get me wrong? Then, pay the dormitory fee in advance.”
“Prepayment?”
“Two million Renée in six months.”
Where is that money with me now?
It seemed that this well-to-do administrative student noticed it too.
“What, do you have no money right now? These are dorm rules. There are also official terms and conditions. If it were the other guys, they would have been flexible and accepted it later. If you follow the rules, you wouldn’t tolerate such an expedient, would you?”
hot.
It was a straight line.
“Does not matter. Let me do that too.” I wanted to say, but I couldn’t open my mouth because my stomach hurt so badly and I started to break out in a cold sweat.
“… … .”
To think that Viktor, who was used to outwitting others to follow the rules, would rather have to follow the rules.
Write, it’s a double-edged sword.
Only then can you use any shortcuts to earn money.
* * *
Late at night, around ten o’clock in the afternoon.
Going out to the streets, I can feel how cold the night is even in the season that is slowly becoming spring.
It will be colder in the morning.
“I hope this key will help.”
I try jingling the key I got from Enio.
I thought it would be nice if it was something like the key to the shelter that Enio had prepared.
For me, who doesn’t know where it is, even if it’s true, it’s useless right now.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have asked more strongly what the key was.
“I’m tired.”
My stomach hurts because I said something rude.
It was as if Viktor was blaming me, saying, ‘Such words are against his rules’, but I liked it.
Victor This baby, even if you were a little flexible, you don’t have to be homeless today.
You have too many rules of your own, so it’s a ride, man.
Fortunately, I, Ha Seung-ri, had some experience of homelessness.
It may not be a story to brag about to someone, but I had experience in sleeping and lying down anywhere.

Just in time, this is Ludens Academy.
I know of a few quiet, deserted places in the academy.
First of all, the old barn near the dormitory.
This is the place where you can get miscellaneous ‘straw’.
When I opened the door and entered, several students were already seated.
Were there people here before?
No, it wasn’t in the game.
This was originally a quiet place without a single NPC.
“What you looking at? Won’t you go away? This place is already full!”
“Right.”
It was too ugly an impression to be a student.
Are there many guys like me who can’t even enter the dormitory and are homeless?
Even in reality, there were cases where people who were homeless had an unspoken seat, and Ludens seems to be the same here.
I’ve changed places several times since then, but most of them are the same as before.
“Why are there so many homeless people?”
Ludens, an island with a population of 100,000.
Among them, there are about 30,000 students, so it is not strange that there are students who are homeless. That number was more than I thought.
Why are there so many poor people?
It wasn’t even like this in the original story.
“Can’t you?”
I decided to get out of the densely populated area with dormitories and buildings.
The destination is the outskirts.
It would have been okay to just sleep in an empty lot, but I decided to stop because there were too many eyes on me. This Viktor guy’s reputation is around -30, so there’s a high chance of a raid event.
It is best to go to places where there are as few people as possible.

Just in time, I knew of one such place. The life content type field “Forest of Sacred Trees” that opens after the ending is exactly that.
sleeping in the woods
I didn’t want to do that if possible.
Why, there are many mosquitoes in the forest. Lots of bugs too.
However, it was not the time to argue about this and that, so I moved on to the place I remembered.
“Come again next time.”

Jingle.
First of all, I bought a bottle of water with a cloth rene from a 24-hour canteen club nearby. All I have is a bottle of water. It was kind of funny, but there were times when I did more than this.
“This looks good enough.”
“Miscellaneous pot: It’s a pot. If I clean it, I think I can use it.”
I also picked up a pot that had been abandoned in the junkyard. It was good in many ways because I consumed a little water and wiped it clean.
“A pot can be used in many places.”
It can be a cooking tool, or a weapon or a warming tool to block blades during an attack when in a hurry. If you put water in a pot and boil it, the area around it will become quite warm.
Are there any more useful items?
As I walked around looking for this and that, I saw a forest on the outskirts far away from the student residence.
Was it one of the places that no one wanted to enter because there were rumors of ghosts in the main story?
Because of that, it was a place that was counted as one of the 7 wonders of Ludens, but in fact there are no ghosts, just rabbits and squirrels.
In fact, there was no pretending to be popular at all. There are not even footprints.
“This is the same as the setting again.”
Entering the forest, I found a bug-repelling grass at the beginning. It looked like a maple leaf, and it was the same shape as the game, so it was easy to distinguish.
“Is the performance the same?”
It might be quite helpful if the same things as the gathering items in the game were born and growing in this forest.
Taking good care of the herbs, I entered the forest a little bit and settled down on a place that looked fairly flat.
“I’ll have to light a fire first.”
There is no such thing as a lighter, of course.
But Viktor has steel-like stamina.
If you rub dry twigs on the bush, you will be able to make a fire.
From previous experience, it’s very rubbing.
You have to rub it a lot.
In the game, if you hit the button repeatedly, a fire will be lit, and if it is repeated several times, a skill is created according to the probability.
Swish squeak squeak squeak.
Fire-.
「Skill: Acquire ＜＜Bonfire＞＞.”
this is real
I also got a skill.
“You’re lucky to learn it right away.”
I thought the skill acquisition method was the same as in the game, so it felt good even though it was in this situation. Maybe you can learn all the other skills in this way?
So, is it really fast to pay off the debt?
Roar, roar.
As the fire burned, warmth enveloped her body.
I feel quite at ease when I see sparks in the darkness that I couldn’t even see.
I didn’t forget the insect repelling grass and threw it into the bonfire.
Morak Morak.
The smell was quite strong and spicy, but tolerable.
“Good. Even though it is a situation like this, I feel like I have been on a trip.”
It was a pretty good place if you think you’re staying for a day.
I’ve never been on a trip because I couldn’t afford to pay off my debt. Now that I am in this place, I felt like I was on a trip, so I was quite excited.
Why.
This is a game, not a cold station floor.
Even if you are equally homeless, is there much more hope than my original life?
“Even the stamina is good.”
With this guy’s stamina, it’s okay if he doesn’t sleep for a day or so. Having a healthy body is a really good asset. You can do anything.
It was a time when I was organizing my schedule for the future with that feeling.
Passeuk.
The bush shakes.
“… .”
I pay attention to see if there is even a rabbit coming out. Can rabbits be eaten? First of all, I know the recipe for roast rabbit in the game.
Isn’t it possible to acquire a cooking skill just like a campfire skill?
Passeuk, Passeuk.
Looking at the bushes shaking even more, I picked up a stone in the vicinity just in case. And that was when I grabbed it and threw it with all my might.
Shuk, just-!
“Hiyah!”
A stone that flew into the bush was hit by something. However, the screams heard were too strange to be the cries of a rabbit.
Grabbing a burning twig, he hurriedly ran through the bushes and found something strange lying on the ground. dressed in rags… .
“Who the hell are you. Why are you in this forest?”
“… my, that’s what i’m saying! Suddenly throwing stones! uh, it hurts… . I guess I… .”
It was a person who was rubbing the top of his head with the palm of his hand, as if he had a headache.
His face was not visible because he was wearing a rag hood. Judging by the soft voice, is it a woman?
I don’t know who it is, but thinking that a person got hit by a stone I threw makes me very sorry.
“sorry. I thought it was a rabbit I never thought there would be people in this forest.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen people enter this forest… , oh… ! More than that, you are Victor!”
“Do you know me?”
I don’t know such a scruffy girl.
It wasn’t even in the story.
When I felt a doubt, the unfamiliar female student exclaimed, “You don’t know me even after doing that!?” He soon took off the hood that was covering his head.
Then I saw pink hair that had been grown very randomly. Maybe my bangs weren’t tidy, but I feel embarrassed to cover my entire face.
Rather pink hair.
How can people’s hair be pink?
If I saw a hair like this in game, there’s no way I’d ever forget it.
Then, suddenly, one came to mind.
DLCs.
I bought D&A’s remastered game along with the DLC that was released at the same time.
DLC should have included additional stories, characters, and other content.
The DLC signboard was a heroine with pink pigtails.
“You, maybe… .”
“yes!”
The female student raised her hand. In the wind, between the pink hair that was growing messy, I could see sparkling emerald eyes.
Same as the illustration.
A heroine that even I, a deceased person of 24,000 hours, have never seen before.
It’s the first time even I’m experiencing it.
“I am Nike Mokey Mokey of Rash Guard Forest!”
Its name was Nike Mokey Mokey!
What the f#cking name is that?! Hahaha
