High School Hack and Slash Chapter 105x Part 1
Mission: Investigate Asagi-sou!
Among the organizations affiliated with Toyoashihara Academy, there existed a number of auxiliary organizations that were formed by alumni of the academy.
These included local organizations that monitored『natural dungeons』 in Japan.
Dungeon activities without safety devices (undead system) such as Rashomon were harsh, and the high casualty rate made them a place of employment everyone shied away from.
For this reason, they were guaranteed status as national public servants and were entitled to a considerable salary and privileges.
They were overseen by a government agency that was taken over from the Jingishou (Ministry of Divinities), which was established in the 4th year of Meiji era (1871).
It was also the successor to an organization called the Uranotsukasa (Bureau of Onmyo), which had existed since ancient Japan.
They were also said to be the guardians of the『defense of our country』 that by no means ever appeared in public, but there was no reason for such an elite ideology to be fostered among the graduates of the academy.
The most popular career path after graduation was as a part-time instructor at Toyoashihara Academy.
There was no danger to their lives such as having to subjugate monsters in natural dungeons, they would only have to do simple miscellaneous jobs, and the remainder of their life wouldn’t be shaven off from living in the present realm (above ground) where the miasma was withering.
For the academy side, they also needed a reserve force in preparations for the Advent of a raid domain or monsters that sprung up on the above ground due to the disturbance of the dragon veins.
There were those who sought a purpose in life and treaded on to a completely new path, but they could be said to be in the minority.
Among such part-time instructors affiliated to the academy, those boasting considerable abilities but no motivations, the so-called happy go lucky members were occupying the majority.
◇ ◇ ◇
「No abnormality, there. Yawn… So sleepy.」
Without any shred of nervousness, the man who had a huge yawn put a mark on the check sheet.
The job of periodically checking the miasma concentration in the academy grounds.
This was done late at night when the figures of students were nonexistent on the premises.
If the concentration exceeded a certain level, monsters would appear even on the above ground, but it wasn’t something that happened very often.
In most cases, what appeared were monstrosities called Null Mobs, which were harmless and would naturally die on their own.
Even if it did turn into a fight, they wouldn’t amount to even a small fry for these fourth-step class changers.
「What a pain. Can’t we just write it down as we see fit?」
For checking the miasma concentration, they were using a measurement device that was specially created by the academy’s research department using Lost Magialogy.
Even though they had such a tool that combined technology and the occult, everything was up to the person who used it.
「At least do this kind of job seriously. After all, you don’t have anything else to do, do you?」
「Even if I don’t have anything else to do, something a pain is still a pain, duh.」
Patrols were usually conducted in pairs.
It was meant to double check as well as to provide mutual surveillance, but if both sides were doing it sloppily, there was no point.
In fact, most of the patrolling patrol members filled out the check sheets half-mindedly, without taking measurements, and then shuffled off to the nighttime stores scattered on the alley of the student street.
「Well, whatever. Let’s have a quick shot and go for a drink?」
「Huh? What are you even talking about? Rather, go die.」
Even though they were wearing security uniforms with the same design, one had pants while the other had a tight skirt.
While ratio-wise the majority of part-time instructors were male, female members were by no means nonexistent.
The higher ranked the class, the less difference there was between men and women with their boosted physical abilities.
Having his hand that was outstretched toward her buttocks flicked away, the man smacked his lips.
「You’re also backed up, aren’t you? Here I am offering myself to play with you.」
Part-time instructors were, on the surface, forbidden to have contact with the active students.
There were a lot of those who secretly had sexual relationships with the students behind everyone’s back, but if they were to be exposed, they would be expelled from the academy.
That was the penalty they feared more than anything else.
「Don’t lump me together with you. I have no business with a man who can’t even do a single simple job.」
「Hah, putting up the good girl act, you’re so desperate to earn points, huh. Nobody is looking at such a thing, duh.」
Tossing the binder in his hand to the woman, he turned on his heel.
「Hey.」
「Good luck with that. I’m going out for a drink.」
Waving his hand, he disappeared into the night.
She let out a sigh at that irresponsibility act of his.
She was used to the sloppiness of her colleagues who were at the height of depravity.
While the female members were still better than the male, there was by no means that much of a difference.
It was just that compared to the men, the will where they couldn’t afford to get thrown out of the academy at this point was stronger on the women’s side.
The right to dive into the academy’s dungeons outside of Rashomon hours, which were open to students, was especially significant.
If they could obtain the『Five Wonder Medicines (Magna Medica)』 from the treasure chest in the deep stratum, they would be free from the prison known as the academy.
「… Geez, I wish I had aimed for the teaching qualifications too.」
Only teachers were allowed to have open contact with students.
Having spent her adolescence with an abnormal sex life, her body had been so developed that it couldn’t get any more developed than that.
Even now, her crotch was wet just from having her buttocks rubbed.
However, it was obvious that if she carelessly showed any openings to her male colleagues, she would be treated as free for all.
If she ended up being enslaved, she wouldn’t be able to bear it.
Though, when it came to inexperienced male students, leading them around by the nose was easy.
She recalled a friend of hers, a comrade during her school days, who had ended up falling into the special SSR class, of all things.
If she had a compelling reason like she did, she would likely have studied harder, but to begin with, she was not a very bright-type of a person.
Thinking that she must be enjoying a teacher life where she indulged herself in inexperienced sex with energetic and lively boys, it was the point that she felt a little envious of her.
She had an earnest personality, but she was quite the closet pervert, so there should be no mistaking it.
「Huh? Are you just by yourself, Senpai?」
As she was laboriously measuring the miasma concentration at the checkpoint, she bumped into her junior colleague, a fellow female member.
Women who could reach the fourth step class were few in number, and many with whom she interacted closely.
「Yeah. The same as usual, I should say.」
「Ahnhaha. You’re an earnest one, after all, Senpai. It doesn’t matter even if you just skip out, though.」
「Speaking of which, what are you doing here? You are not part of the patrol group today, are you?」
The junior, dressed in a jersey as opposed to a security costume, impishly tilted her head and smiled cheek to cheek.
「Ahaha. You’re asking me that? I’m here for a bit of rendezvous. It’s a cute child, but I got this mail saying they terribly want to do it.」
「Sigh… I’ll let you off the hook, but keep it in moderation, okay.」
「Thankee. Ahn, then in exchange, I’ll lend you a hand too, Senpai.」
How nice, this girl, I wish she would introduce me to a cute, tight-lipped boy too, rather, introduce me to one already, harboring such a thought, she continued to patrol with her company.
Nevertheless, there was only one checkpoint left.
The outskirts of the academy grounds, a remote area that no one but the dorm residents would go near.
The entry-level girls’ dormitory, 『Asagi-sou』, this site only.
By nature, topographical-wise, it was a point where miasma was easy to stagnate, but it was also far away from the other checkpoints.
If one were to conduct a cutting corners investigation, this would be the point they skipped and falsified before anything else.
The dormitory road, where outdoor light was sparse, was dimly lit, and it was brimming with the vibe that something would jump out.
「You really are an earnest person, aren’t you, Senpai? Only you would come and check all the way to such a place.」
「Well. If you haven’t come, I think I might have randomly marked it too, though.」
