Chapter 41.1. Cleaning Up Afterward

Miu feels shocked, but she doesn’t feel guilty at all, so she gets back on her feet without too much shock.

It’s no use thinking about it. It’s just the way this body works. Well, as long as the bad guys don’t fight me, that’s all that matters. Yeah, I’m perfectly armed. I’m going to think so.

But first, I need to check the drop items.

“Artificial emerald, artificial onyx, magic iron, magic steel, broken parts, magic stone style battery. …It’s so bad”

It’s Miu, who is a bit sad. Well, it’s a common sub-event. The objective was to get this dungeon.

I think I can get something out of the corpse, but what should I do? Sylph Type 22 seems to be usable. The other two are second-hand. The rest turned to ash.

But if I sell this magic armor, it will be traced back to me. I’d better not.

Feeling like a bandit, I decided to check with Odin.

“Grandpa, how many MP do you have left?”

“14. I’ve only got enough for one [Teleport].”

“You left me enough for [Teleport]. Thanks.”

I smiled back at him, and he shrugged his shoulders. Smiling at a beautiful girl is expensive, you know.

[Teleport] is magic learned by grand mages. It allows you to move between locations such as bases and dungeons. Normally, in a game like this, it’s hard to learn magic from the beginning, but in The Night of Magic, people won’t learn it until the Grand Mage.

It was a modern fantasy game, the game have various transportation systems, so they wanted to let players use them. It was a real pain in the ass.

I made Odin my first companion because he has [Teleport]. He only learns powerful magic, so his fuel consumption is super low, and he runs out of MP very quickly. But this makes him very convenient. It’s a great way to save money on cab fare.

It is no longer possible to explore the dungeon. I think I’ll go home now, and just as I collect the magic armor from the corpse, I hear a small voice. Hm? What is it?

“Oh, um, thank you.”

The kids came up behind me and timidly thanked me. Yeah, it was good. Everyone is safe. The instant-kill magic only affects those Grandpa has identified as enemies, so it doesn’t affect the children. I was relieved.

“From now on, you guys are free. Good for you!”

I smile and reassure the children. There’s no more scum to kill you. You’re free to go on living.

I manage to peel the Sylph Formula 22 off the corpse and stop myself from putting it in the item box. For some reason, the kids are staring at me. I got your thanks, didn’t I? Do you still have something for me?

“Oh, um, what are we going to do now?”

I stop moving at the sound of their trembling voices. Oh, I see. In a game, they would smile, say “thank you”, and go away, but this is real life. They don’t want to be left here.

“Ummm …… what should we do?”

Since I’m in public, Miu switches to good girl mode. I crossed my arms and was in trouble. What should I do?

Hmmm? I mean, aren’t other children being held captive?

“Hey, do you have any other friends who are trapped?”

“Umm, yes. Yes, I do! Can you help me?”

The kids’ eyes light up with enthusiasm, but we’re at our wits’ end. I wonder if the rest of the party wonders if the boss is not coming back.

I look at my phone and check the time: 23:00. No choice. I’ll have to be a late-night Miu.

“Grandpa, do you know where the kids are?”

“We’ll have to rely on Munin’s [Analyze].”

I guess that’s impossible. Grandpa’ll ask Munin to analyze it for me. I could find anything, but I can’t go that far.

[Analyze]

Caw-kun [Analyze] the molten metal. The information on the lump gets displayed on a translucent board in front of me.

Name, level, attributes, rare drop items, drop items, flavor text. Hmmm, rare drop items? That’s right. They didn’t drop it, did they? I can’t load it, so I give up on the rare drop and read the flavor text.

Age, weight, three sizes for girls, hobbies, likes, dislikes, and character profiles. My address. Recent awards and punishments, a resume. The rest is a brief description. Rewards and punishments are nothing but bad things. What’s a torture killer?

“My address, huh?”

“I don’t know if this’s their base or not.”

Grandpa said, looking at the results of the analysis as well. The children can’t see the board, so they look at me curiously, wondering what I’m doing, but I recommend going through it. It’s a maiden’s secret.

“Right.”

But 3 of the 4 bosses have the same address. There is a high possibility that this’s their home base. Well, let’s go there.

“Okay, I’ll sleep for 3 hours and go to this base!”

“Well, the rest of them won’t have much strength left.”

So Odin and I decided to sleep in the corner of the warehouse. The kids are surprised that I sleep here, but after 3 hours, half my MP is restored. I made sure of it as I sneaked past them, dozing off. Good night~.

I left the watch to Geri and Freki.
