High School Hack and Slash Chapter 64 Part 1

Interception Base

「Wow. What’s this, what’s this! It’s like a castle in an amusement park!」

Doggy-senpai whose tension seems to have broken through the heaven is rushing over.

Even though she’s just returned from the dungeon, she’s so full of spirits.

「… Err. E, eeeerrr?」

「Wha? What, is this, amazing …」

「When we come back from the dungeon, a castle has been built-degozaru.」

The members of the Black Honey, looking somewhat worn out and literally sooty, are looking up at the interception base with dumbfounded faces.

The surrounding area is considerably flat, so even if it’s just a three story tower, it’s standing out.

Two golem-kun that have finished transporting the materials are on standby on the roof as sentinels.

In addition, there are four golem-kun on standby at each of the four corners of the castle walls serving as sentinels.

It seems that in case the『Armed Golem』 is utilized as a stand-alone unit, it can only carry out simple commands, but if it’s just to send a signal to the person in question when it discovers an enemy, there’s no problem.

The fact that there’s no problem even when the person in question is asleep has been proven during the interception life at Zakurosan.

「Welcome back. Good work with the dungeon attack. The tea is ready, would you like a cup?」

「What about the tea cakes?」

Doggy-senpai, who has promptly switched to exploration mode, swiftly turns her head around.

Rinko-senpai, who greets them, is also smiling wryly.

「… Tea, this place is inside a dungeon, though.」

Guiding the members of Black Honey who have not yet grasped the current situation, she opens the gate of the main building and leads them to the living slash dining room.

We’ve prepared a table and chairs so it’s possible for all us of both the Adept Orders as well as Black Honey to sit together.

I guess it’s about the size of a classroom.

The windows are small and it’s dark outside, so there are several lanterns hanging from the ceiling, burning Moby Dick oil.

The room being dyed in a faint orange color has a stylish feeling to it.

Incidentally, these lanterns are plainly turning into cheat magic items that perhaps would keep on lighting up perpetually, it seems.

「Rather than warm, it’s cold, I think. Fresh herbal tea.」

「Ah, yes…..」

Meiron-senpai is distributing teapots around the desk.

The cups and saucers that are lined up for twenty people are woodworks carved from pomegranate trees.

Such household items were already produced in large quantities during the raid on Zakurosan.

「I baked some cookies to see the condition of the kiln, but would you like some?」

「Yes!」

Doggy-senpai energetically jumps at Kurumi-senpai, who is holding a basket full of cookies in her hands.

「Yummy! They’re crispy, hot and yummy!」

「You mustn’t keep them all to yourself.」

「I get it.」

「… To think that Prez would compromise on food.」

They seem somewhat surprised.

I wonder how gluttonous she has been up until now.

「It has a cool and refreshing scent. It was so hot in the dungeon, so it’s very delicious.」

「Huh, it has ice in it? How is that possible inside the dungeon?」

「It’s delicious-woof. I want a refill-woof.」

As expected, it seems that the environment in the dungeon is very harsh.

As everyone has another refill and the pots are passed around, it appears that they are gaining enough composure to shift their attention around the comfort space.

「I don’t know how I should put it, but were you guys the one who built this building? It’s much more impressive than the frontline base set up by the academy, though.」

「Yes. It’s an interception base built by our Senpai sirs.」

I’m making an appeal for their greatness on behalf of the shy Senpai sirs.

「Besides, even if they did, it hasn’t even been half a day, though….」

The one who moved it was me, but there’s no mistaking it that the ones actually built it were Mikan-senpai and the others.

Incidentally, the reason I am taking on the unfamiliar role of host is to ensure the safety of Rinko-senpai and the others.

I do think Doggy-senpai and Lady Guy-senpai are worthy of trust, but when it comes to the other members of Black Honey, they are unknown to us.

「So the Craftsman class could even do something like this, huh.」

「… Honestly, my opinions have changed.」

「It’s no wonder Prez said she didn’t want to go onto the raid unless it was together with you guys.」

Based on what I’ve heard, it sounds like it’s going to be alright.

They look like upright Senpai sirs that I have never seen before in the academy.

I wonder if this is also the virtue of the club president, Doggy-san.

「Well then, I’m sure you’re all sweating, so how about taking a bath? I’m sure the hot water is also about to accumulate enough, after all.」

The tension seems to have risen at once at Rinko-senpai’s words.

「Th, there’s a bath too? And you mean, we can also use it?」

「Bath in the dungeon…」

「To be able to take a bath in a raid quest, it’s like a dream.」

Maybe it’s because the number of female members is great, but they are so zealous that it’s a little scary.

On Zakurosan, we took bath in cold water at the water well, but I’ve heard that in raid quests like this one where water is precious, all you can do is wipe yourself with a wet towel.

「As expected, we didn’t build a shower, but I believe it would be enough to wash off the sweat.」

Rinko-senpai is exercising modesty.

Even if Doggy-senpai is like that, Black Honey is an A-rank club.

If we don’t make a considerable impact from the get go, there is a possibility that we will be looked down upon and be treated as gofers.

Well, I do get the feeling that they seemed to be overwhelmed by the time they saw this interception base, though.

「Also, before that…. We’ve also done arranging the lodging for the members of the Black Honey, but it’d be better if you take a look first, I suppose? Of course, you don’t have to use it if you don’t like it….」

「Wait a minute. No, wait, please. That’s not it, it’s strange in a lot of way right, these!」

Tsundere-senpai, who has been silent until now, stands up.

The blurriness of his way of speaking suggests that he had gone through tough experience in the dungeon.

「To build such a building, in such a short time, no matter how you think about it, it’s weird! We’re being deceived somehow, aren’t we?!」

「Hey, hey, Tetsuro-kun. Isn’t that rude?」

「Tetsu-kun’s delusion has started again….」

「That’s why I told you that we were going too easy on him earlier.」

That’s a very sharp insight, but he receives merciless retorts from his fellow club members.

Doggy-senpai also tilts her head, seemingly not understanding what is going on.

「Geez, what’s wrong, Tetsu-kun?」

「No, I mean, Prez. No matter how you think about it, such a thing is ridiculous. I mean, lowly craftsmen… gah!」

DOM! A sound that should not very much be heard from a human body echoes.

「I’m sorry. Tetsuro-kun said something he shouldn’t have said-woof.」

Senpai-san, wearing a strangely cute dog-eared hood, swiftly bows her head.

I wonder if her tacked-on end of sentence is her own fad.

I guess she’s most likely of the Fighter class.

The backhanded blow that she throws into Tetsuro-senpai’s stomach has the force that seems to be capable of shattering even a rock.

Plopping down on the desk, twitching and convulsing, he seems to have ended up getting his consciousness reaped in one blow.

「Ah, I don’t mind it that much, I suppose. Since becoming craftsmen, we’re often told as such, after all.」

I think Hood-san, who delivers an iron fist on the spot, is a capable person.

In order to deal with a verbal gaffe without leaving a grudge, prompt execution is the best timing.

「For the time being, let me guide you starting from the lodging, I suppose.」

「Yes.」

「Prez, don’t wrap the cookies in the furoshiki~.」

「What should we do with Tetsuro-kun?」

「To tell him the meaning of reflection, I suppose we should just leave him outside….」

How should I put it, they don’t seem like bad people, but their personalities are too strong.
