Volume 4 Chapter 32 Why Let The Robber Go？
"Brother."
"What is it?"
"A robber came in, right? Don't you think it's strange to just let him go?"
"..."
Horace's workshop was in an empty classroom at Sevenstar Academy. He was squirming inside a sleeping bag, his mind clearly racing, but he started with the topic of the robber.
"...Nousa. How do you know about the robber?"
Right. Horace had just woken up. The robber had entered from the rooftop, tried to steal something, failed, and left after hurling a parting insult. There shouldn't have been any chaos after that.
Therefore, only Horace should know about the robber.
"No, the people with skills in this school probably noticed. They thought someone suspicious entered your room. Some might even have noticed someone strange on the rooftop."
"..."
"Look. I know the people in this country are weird, right? Last night, Princess Lucia was running around the palace wearing Ms. Ellie's bra."
What on earth was she doing?
"But don't you think it's dangerous to be poisoned?"
"I will be careful."
He says he'll be careful, but when Horace enters his "bad mood mode," he truly becomes useless. In short, he's always been like this. If you ask Ivan, his former partner, you might hear some stories related to this.
"...But, Nousa. Can I ask you something?"
"? "
"Before anyone entered my room, there was someone who knew, right?"
"Of course."
"What about you, Nousa?"
"I knew too."
"With your skills, you could've rushed up to the rooftop, right?"
"Of course."
"Then why didn't you come check?"
"..."
Right, this whole situation wasn't just about the robber and Horace. If they wanted to, many people could have charged in and made the situation even harder to handle.
However, in the end, no one came, and the robber was not caught. Horace noticed: Why did no one come?
"Ms. Ulrika stopped them."
"Ulrika?"
"Yes, she said, 'It's about the master, so there must be a scheme,' with a comb stuck in her head."
"In the morning... she's weak. I just learned that."
Based on the information, Ulrika's thinking ability seems like puzzle-solving power. With the pride of the hero community's top ability and high magician strength, she's a flat-chested loli with many attributes. However, she seems really weak in the morning.
"So, what are you thinking about, big brother?"
"I wasn't thinking, but I set up a scheme. I put a magic transmitter on. Now I'm thinking about what to do in the Seraphgold Empire embassy basement. It's all a waste."
"How sad."
Even with special magic, she can't take on an opponent alone. Ideally, the person giving orders has accurate enemy and ally information and can make the right decisions.
Moreover, for the robbers, this mission is hopeless. Frontal attacks are strong, surprise attacks don't work, and sneaking in while sleeping yields nothing to steal.
Not even a cursed game with a filthy difficulty curve is like this.
"So, big brother, what will you do now? If you don't cook the scheme properly, it will go to waste, right?"
"I'm not the type to hate waste, but... yeah. Let's send a fake for now."
"A fake, huh... What kind of object?"
"Something that feels like gravity quintupled when you use it, even though it looks real with appraisal magic."
"That robber guy. He's about 70 kilos, right? If it quintuples, he'll be 350 kilos. Won't he get crushed if it suddenly happens?"
"Hmmm... maybe I'll give him a 50 percent discount."
"But why do that?"
"No, after actually using it, people might misunderstand and think, 'If you can endure this weight, you can unleash powerful abilities.' I showed them dungeon exploration videos, so they should understand a certain level of strength. I don't think they believe you can use such a powerful armor at a low cost and make it light."
"They might think that way, though."
"I don't know."
Either way, it will take time for the acquired armor to reach the Seraphgold Empire.
"At least, it should take time to reach our country. In the meantime, should we go dungeon exploring again?"
"We haven't reached the deepest part yet. Should we broadcast that far?"
"Yeah, even though it's a dungeon not used much, it's not a loss to have that information. Besides, I only want the fan-shaped parts. The rest doesn't matter."
The 4 major dungeons in the Chaos Stone Dragonstone Kingdom, excluding the Great Mine of Gold World (Kinsekai), have fan-shaped parts in their deepest areas. Gathering three of these parts forms a circular item, which allows access to the God of Sealing Shildress in the depths of the major ore vein.
"For now, that's the goal, so we don't need other items or magic stones."
"...Should we bring someone along for the next dungeon exploration broadcast?"
After muttering such things, Horace fell asleep again. It is currently 4 in the morning.
