Please stop persecuting your students!

"Well, that's it - don't ask me anything. In order to maintain the last bit of mystery, I won't say a word until we reach our destination. And don't tell me not to go. If you say you don't want to go after I've already bought everything, I'll be at a big loss."

Nia couldn't help but be stunned. Or rather, after she realized the key point between the lines, she has been like this ever since, staring blankly at Saki, with countless question marks floating in her bright eyes.

This person has already said everything, what else can she say?

Finally, he could only nod his head blankly and hum in the face of that unimpressive gaze. Seeing this, the young man in front of him also smiled brightly.

"So, do you still want to eat these?"

"Want to eat!"

......

Three days, not too long, not too short, was the last period of time that Saki left for himself to train. If possible, he also hoped to extend this time infinitely, and it would be best if he could reach the level of the legendary Sword Master of Shilipo before leaving this slightly subtle Novice Village.

After all... I might meet a bunch of boss-level characters in that world during my next journey! Although, four of them will not be able to show their true strength for various reasons, and the second most dangerous one is still a cripple.

But that also depends on the person. A lame tiger is still no match for a small herbivore and is still a dangerous predator - unless the prey herbivore can pry open its jaw to make the sound of Unit-01.

Besides...time waits for no one. Nia wants to get Baihu out of his suffering as soon as possible, so doesn't he also want a result as soon as possible?

Thus, in the remaining three days, Sakumi stayed on the second floor of the gymnasium. The translation work of the Book of Shadows was not neglected and everything was progressing steadily.

Although Nia was extremely anxious, she didn't know how to start the conversation. She just stayed in the training space for a while, venting her emotions with those imaginary things, which doubled Saki's pressure.

For him, the training doll that required a large amount of explosives to destroy was just a matter of two sword strikes in front of Nia. In Nia's words, this was the state she should be in when Baihu was by her side.

Someone looked at the guns and ammunition in his hand, thought about the cost of these things, and then compared Binia's force...

How about I return all these things and exchange them for medical kits to act as a nurse? But, Nia's main job is a nurse, right?

So...what can I do?

Suddenly, Saki stretched out a transparent green arm and picked up the wooden stake in the distance, with a look of realization in his eyes.

So...I'm a crane?

Hang the monster up and control it so that the nurse can output?

I miss the turtle version_(:3」∠)_

Volume 20: Young Man, Young Girl and Precious First Time: Chapter Chapter Target - Netherworld

"It's impossible for me to be a crane operator, and I won't be a riot soldier either. I won't be one in this lifetime. I can only survive by throwing grenades."

Nia: “?”

What did this guy suddenly say?

"Talk to yourself. Are you ready?"

"..."

Nia, who was carrying a small backpack on her back, looked behind Saki, at the huge army green mountaineering bag, plus the large and small dangerous goods hanging on his body. Her eyelids drooped and her face looked strange.

As for...

Although she admitted that it was not easy to deal with those guys...but that's it!

How much stuff did you buy?!

Can you do whatever you want if you have money? ! !

“I haven’t forgotten the most important thing~”

Saki pulled out a stack of golden letters from his inner pocket that looked very familiar to Nia. The girl raised her eyebrows and said in surprise:

"Application for admission?"

"Actually, I think it's more like an acceptance letter, that's it."

"That is to say——"

Nia and Saki looked at each other. After her guess was confirmed, she instantly understood what it meant and her brows were immediately filled with joy.

We can enroll students now! This school can be preserved!

At this moment, what Saki held in his hand was not just a stack of papers, but real hope! It was the future!

It's no wonder Nia is so happy. Accepting one's fate is accepting one's fate, but no one wants to die if they can avoid it. This way, they won't have to part after rescuing Baihu...

Or how about just tying the white tiger to this pirate ship first? The so-called pyramid scheme starts with the people themselves... Bah! What the hell is a pyramid scheme!

"Anyway, here you go."

Saki pulled out the unremarkable rope from his pocket. Even though he had been carrying it with him for three days, the copper bell hanging on the rope still made no sound.

Today is the seventh day since he came into this world. It is also the fourth day since Nia came into this world, or should it be the fifth day?

A week passed, and the campus had not changed much. The second or even third student who was expected to come did not show up, and the plan went on as usual. This was probably their only and last hope.

On this side, Nia suppressed her inner excitement and did not take the rope, but stared straight at Saki.

“This is it?”

"Ah, it's said that it can only be used with strong faith. I don't understand the details, but it should be used with the intention of returning to your own world. Like me, it didn't work after I used it, so I can only let you use it."

Nia opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself. The excitement in her heart was extinguished by a bucket of cold water. But she still took the rope obediently and turned her eyes to the big tree in front of her.

"I've always been taken care of one-sidedly..."

If given a choice, who wouldn’t want to return to their own world, their hometown, and see their relatives and friends?

And this person... would rather make up a lie and give her this opportunity. In comparison, she didn't even have the courage to refuse, let alone say a polite word to shirk it.

Absolutely...incomparable!

Someone whose own world has exploded: "?"

What is this catwoman thinking about?

Someone began to consider whether he should find an opportunity to make things clear. He didn't lack a little sympathy, and the favor he gained by relying on this kind of "lie" was not safe.

After making up his mind, Saki put the stack of letters back into his pocket and said:

"Let's do it."

"Ok!"

Nia nodded and held the rope tightly.

A strong belief... She didn't know if she had it, but as long as she succeeded, she would be able to return to that world, to the underworld, a place she had wanted to escape from several times, and face those guys again, face Arcadia...

...That's Arcadia!

"It's impossible to persuade you not to go now..."

"How can there be no teacher to lead the spring outing? Please at least understand my desire to see the beautiful scenery of other worlds."

"Maybe...I'll die."

"It's even more impossible to let my student go to such a place alone... But he will die, so that's a bit troublesome."

Saki turned his head away, smiling, and said meaningfully:

"Then I'll just have to find someone to protect me, a weak, pitiful and helpless person~right, Nia-san."

"——Ah, leave it to Lady Nia!"

At this point, Nia no longer hesitated and showed a pair of cute little fangs. It was the first time she smiled brightly and confidently since she came here.

"Let Lady Nia show you the amazing scenery of the Netherworld that you can never see in other worlds!"

As Nia spoke the lines that seemed to symbolize the shift of the protagonist, she shook the rope in her hand violently. Unlike the dead silence in Saki's hand, which seemed to have rusted, as Nia swung the rope, the small copper bell suddenly made a crisp sound, and the old elm tree in front of her trembled. With a buzzing sound, a glowing wormhole with a diameter of more than three meters suddenly opened on the trunk of the tree. The whole thing was dark green, and countless emerald green photons formed a huge vortex in the wormhole, like a glowing vortex in front of him. The green photons rotated steadily in the subtle buzzing sound.

'Is this technology or magic?'

Saki, who just a moment ago was still holding on to the malicious thought that "If it doesn't work, then it's a masterpiece", looked at the wormhole in front of him, casually opened the product manual, and looked at the pictures on it.

A circle, a rather sloppy vortex - well, it was the kind of pattern that was often drawn on the eyes in animations to indicate fainting.

“Isn’t this too abstract?”

"The opposite side is... the Netherworld?"

"Probably. It can only last for forty-five seconds. Let's go."

"Ok!"

Without much hesitation, knowing that the maintenance time of the 'wormhole' was limited, the two of them took steps one after another and stepped into it. After a while, as the maintenance time reached the upper limit, the wormhole that continued to buzz quickly converged and disappeared. The old elm tree is still the old elm tree, and the elementary school is still the elementary school, but what is different from the past is that after the last two people who lived in the campus left, this huge floating island fell into silence again.

Or is this the way it should be?

The leaves that were about to fall were frozen in the air. On the roadside trees in front of the dormitory building, the sparrows that were about to fly folded their wings, and their dark eyes brought the solidified campus into view.

To be precise, it was on a flyer printed on coated paper and posted on the wall at the entrance of the dormitory building.

"First time~"

Volume 21 Young Men, Young Women and Precious First Times: Chapter Chapter Look what we found? A high-speed buck!

Youjie

A world built on a vast sea of ​​clouds. Different from the conventional concept of sea of ​​clouds, the sea of ​​clouds in this world... is a real sea. Although it looks like clouds on the surface, it is actually some kind of liquid, containing a large amount of elements that cannot be absorbed by the human body.

There are no conventional land or islands. Instead, there are huge creatures that feed on the elements of the sea of ​​clouds and aether - Arus (giant beasts). They vary in size, the smallest is the same size as an elephant, and the largest is big enough to rival some islands.

As their names suggest, they are all beasts with different shapes, some are like whales that contain everything, some are like turtles that lurk under the sea of ​​clouds for years, and there are even giants and flying dragons that walk in the sea of ​​clouds. Various ecological environments have evolved from their huge bodies. Humans and other creatures rely on these friendly beings, mainly the seven largest existing Arus (giant beasts), to survive and reproduce in this wonderful world.

The story begins with Gura, one of the seven largest Arus (giant beasts), which is famous for its fertile land and rich resources. It was also fought over by the two kingdoms in the early years, which once triggered several large-scale wars.

To be exact, it is the Spebia Empire - Gula Territory. Even in this beautiful, fairy-like world, what humans do is the same as always, with little change... But the point is not this

And now, in the dense forest below Gula, accompanied by a subtle humming sound, a dark green circular wormhole quietly appeared in the bushes, the vortex formed by the green light band reversed, and two figures, one big and one small, carrying large and small bags, walked out of it one after another.

“Is this Gula?”

Butterflies fluttered among the trees, and birds sang overhead. But no skull suddenly jumped out to judge him. It was just a quiet and peaceful forest.

The humidity was a bit heavy, or rather, very heavy. Coming from the dry and slightly warm Tenjin Elementary School to this damp and cold forest, Saki's arms and thighs were instantly covered with goose bumps.

This first impression is not very good.

However, as a newcomer, Saki did not focus all his attention on the surrounding scenery. He stepped back a few steps and stood with Nia. After putting on the goggles hanging around his neck, he placed one hand on the hilt of the knife hanging on his waist, and with the other hand he took out the Uzi, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

The creatures in this world are not so friendly, at least that's the impression he has - of course, there must be a playfulness in this, otherwise the lumberyards and the like that were located in the middle of the so-called "monster pile" would not be able to survive. However, it is always better to be vigilant.

Compared to him, although Nia was a little furious when she landed, she calmed down after confirming that there were no people around. She looked around carefully, then turned around and looked at the scene behind her that was completely inconsistent with the dense forest.

The dense forest disappeared, disappearing abruptly in the direction she was facing, leaving only the blue sky and the rolling sea of ​​clouds under the cliff.

"A forgotten land..."

"The forgotten land?"

"I heard that this was the first place where the pioneers who first came to Gula landed, but it was not developed any further afterwards... I read about it in that book."

"Huh? What's the reason?"

"Well, there are all kinds of reasons, right?"

Nia looked at the familiar sea of ​​clouds in front of her, her tone somewhat erratic.

"It's inconvenient to develop. We found better resource points, and there's war and we can't take care of this place... Oh, and the sea of ​​clouds will flood this place when the tide rises, which is also a problem."
