Estero Academy is huge.

It is not only wide horizontally but also vertically.

Even for the smallest student cafeteria, the word ‘large’ is not enough if the kitchen is included. 

Of course, the dormitory, the academic building, and the main building all boast high floors.

In addition, there is a separate underground space in the splendidly exploded main building.

“Hey, get up.”

The basement warehouse of the main building, where boxes are piled everywhere and dust rolls in lumps even though the fan is running.

I tapped Zeist on the cheek after dragging him to an area I wouldn’t normally enter. 

I took his wand and used a rope to tie up the guy, who could barely open his eyes after getting hit in the face several more times.

“Here, is…” 

Zeist rolled his eyes here and there, probably trying to understand the situation.

However, no matter how much he stares at the underground warehouse, which has few proper light sources, all he can see is darkness. 

“It doesn’t matter.”

I sat down with my knees bent in front of Zeist, who was rolling his eyes hard.

I have no intention of going this far and doing anything bothersome.

But, as always, I have no choice but to do it.

“Where are the artifacts from the safe?” 

Originally, it was an artifact that Zeist should have already stolen.

But I had no choice but to block the attempt, so it shouldn’t have been stolen.

However, in reality, the artifacts disappeared along with the explosion that was not in the story—.

Things kept getting twisted. 

I don’t know what will happen if I leave it like this, so I have no choice but to find out the whereabouts of the artifact.

Of course, Zeist twisted his lips and just glared at me.

No matter how hard it is, there’s no way he can honestly tell me where he stole it.

The villains in Broken World are characterized by babbling even when no one questions their motives or plans and closing their mouths at such times.

It will take a lot of work to make him speak for himself. 

Still, it’s better to deal with it now than bother it later.

“Do you think he will just admit it like that?” 

Suddenly, someone tapped my shoulder lightly with a high-pitched voice.

When I turned around, security guard Jin was yawning loudly next to me.

“Look at his fierce eyes, it reminds me of the old days.”

“…What are you doing here?”

“Can’t you see this? I’m a security guard. Security. If an accident happens, you have to come even if you don’t want to.” 

“This is not the explosion site.”

Exactly, this is a basement.

When asked, Jin scratched the back of his head and pointed at Zeist with his thumb. 

“I saw someone drag that kid, so I followed it. Is there a problem?”

Even if you ask confidently, there is nothing but a problem—.

In that case, I’m the one who’s the biggest problem.

Because on the outside, Zeist is an intermediate-level wizard.

The risk is considerable at the point of being caught arresting such a person and dragging him to the basement.

“This…” 

“Oh, you don’t have to explain it because it’s troublesome. Just looking at it, isn’t this punk doing something like an executioner?” 

Without a chance to explain the situation, Jin spoke the truth casually.

While I was still looking at Jin, he vigorously pulled the corner of his mouth.

“Who do you think I am? I’m a security guard. Security guard. If I don’t notice this much, I can’t be a security guard.”

“Well, that’s great.”

“Never mind, if this guy stole the artifacts, you should go easily and conveniently. Why are you bothering him by asking?” 

Jin’s fist relaxed in line with the word “easy and convenient.” 

I can see clearly what kind of scene will unfold after that, but—.

I didn’t want to see it myself, so I grabbed Jin’s shoulder to stop him.

“Please give me a moment.”

“Why?” 

“There is an easier and simpler way.”

“Is that so? Then do it.”

Jin obediently released his fist.

Anyway, this person just hates being bothered.

If there is an easy way to solve it, it’s only natural that he leans on it.

A strange sense of similarity arises, but let’s put it aside.

I dropped my eyes on Zeist again.

It’s still hard to read what he’s thinking, but it’s not unreadable.

“Valero’s fruit shop in District 4.”

The moment I said those words, Zeist’s eyes shook slightly.

Faint agitation, forcibly regaining composure, fragments of those emotions pass before my eyes. 

“A drug warehouse in a slum located on the border of District 4 and 5. The material warehouse of Milan Trading Company. in the 5th district. Or is the six-prong bitlock 213A?” 

One, one more.

Every time the name was mentioned, Zeist’s expression changed slightly.

What I recited is the hideout of the pioneers located in Esset.

Among them, I pointed out the place where the reaction was the greatest.

“The material warehouse of Milan Trading Company, it seems it was taken secretly to here.” 

Zeist didn’t answer.

However, his response was undeniably positive.

The artifact is located in the material warehouse of the Milan Trading Company located in the 5th District. 

I rose up and straightened my knee as soon as I received confirmation.

I found the location.

As expected, because it was one of the hideouts, it wasn’t difficult to attack and take it back.

After I finished my calculations, Jin gave me a sharp look.

“It’s amazing how you can find out where the artifact was stolen just by saying it a few times.”

It was a wild animal-like suspicion.

Well, it wouldn’t be strange if you doubted it.

Just now, it would look like I just talked to him one-sidedly and came to a conclusion on my own.

Actually, it was simply observing Zeist’s reaction.

Even if a person is used to hiding their facial expressions, they can’t hide their physical reactions completely unless they are a machine. 

Even more so if they’re in a situation that puts them under more pressure.

Because people have no choice but to react to any kind of external interference, such as making their pupils bigger, making small movements at the ends of their bodies, and fluctuations in breathing.

If you read the reaction, you can easily determine the degree of authenticity without speaking.

Well, it sounds good, but it’s just a way to protect myself that I’ve learned after living alone for a long time.

In short, to put it simply, it sounds like a sense.

Because I’ve lived by noticing other people’s eyes in ways other than language, only this kind of sense has improved. 

But there’s no way to explain this, so I moderately avoided it.

“It’s just that I’ve always been good at observing others. It’s not that amazing.”

“Is that so? Well, then I’ll go to the warehouse in District 5. you go back.”

“No, I will go.”

Jin, who was about to take the cigarette pack out of his pocket, stared at me. 

“Alone? Come on, you have to distinguish between what you can and can’t do.”

“Of course I am not going alone. I’ll take two more. They are good at classifying things, and since they were hired for an event at the royal palace, the bachelor’s side can’t move easily either.”

This was the easiest reason Leon had to solve all kinds of problems in Broken World.

The bachelor can’t move right now, or they’ll come late, so we have to move by ourselves.

So, when I turned it the right way, Jin scratched the back of his head again and pointed to Zeist. 

“So you guys will go to the warehouse, so I’ll just take care of the site here, is this it?” 

“That’s how it works. This is the least troublesome and reasonable way.”

“It’s strangely annoying because it’s true….” 

He doesn’t deny it.

Then, the conclusion has already been reached.

“Don’t say I let you go.”

“Of course.” 

I parted ways with Jin and left the warehouse.

As I came up to the ground, Ethan, who was waiting at the entrance, came up.

“How is it? Suddenly, a security guard entered!” 

“Thanks to it, I found out where he stole the artifact. But I heard that the bachelor’s side can’t move right now.”

I started the rhyme casually.

Immediately, Leon responded as if he had waited.

“We should go. Unless there is someone other than us who can move.” 

Even if you don’t have to step out, you have to go in person to be the main character.

Therefore, we started running toward District 5.

The warehouse of Milan Trading Company was literally a warehouse drawn in a picture. 

A building with a simple rectangular structure that is large, wide, and tall. 

In front of it, Ethan touched his shield and asked. 

“If the artifact were stolen here, is Milan Trading Company also part of them?” 

“I don’t think so. This warehouse belongs to the Milan Trading Company, but it’s leased.”

“Aha, did they rent a warehouse and camouflage it? What a well-thought-out plan!” 

As expected for the son of a wealthy business owner, he can communicate well with the flow.

Anyway, this is a boss fight again. 

Especially in the warehouse of Milan Trading Company, he must be there. 

“Let’s do as we say on the way.”

“Yes!”

“Okay.” 

Ethan and Leon nodded. 

In that short period of time, Leon has replenished his practice sword, so fighting is no problem. 

However, the guy in this warehouse is pretty difficult to deal with right now.

Still, I couldn’t back down, so I quietly opened the warehouse.

Crrrk…

The huge door opened with a creak.

The inside of the warehouse was brighter than expected, perhaps because the lights were turned on.

Numerous boxes were placed in an orderly manner on the shelves.

“Oh my, did you come alone?”

A bouncy voice was heard on a nearby box.

She looked like a shadow, with her black hair hanging down on the white bridge and wearing a black leather jacket over her suit, which was also dyed black.

The lips are especially red, so the shadow feels like it’s speaking directly.

Luena Monium. 

She is a villain who has become a bishop in the inner structure of the pioneers, which consists of cardinals, bishops, and priests.

Uniquely, she fights with her bare hands, her muscle strength goes beyond common sense, she is excellent in martial arts, and she is even half-human and half-demon, so she can transform during battle—therefore, I simply can’t deal with it right now. 

So I made a plan. 

As a gamer, there are things that you can do and you can’t do. 

Broken World, in particular, was a game that I couldn’t possibly play with just such stereotypical common sense.

“You are alone too.”

So, all I need is time.

 You can win if you take enough time.

“It doesn’t matter if I’m alone. I am strong.”

 “Amazing. Should I have brought the Knights?”

“Even so, nothing would have changed. But I’ll tell you our plan based on the courage to come alone. If you die without knowing that, it’s unfair, right?”

It came out. She explained it when no one asked.

Normally, I wouldn’t want to listen to it because it was boring, but now I just like it.

Luena wiggled a small dagger on top of a box.

It wasn’t her weapon.

Because that dagger was the artifact that was stolen this time.

“This artifact has ancient runes engraved on it. It’s not that great. It’s for absorbing and storing energy. It’s something that can be easily made even now, but…what’s great about this artifact is that the total amount it can store goes beyond common sense.”

The dagger is spinning. 

At most, the complex runes engraved on the surface of a dagger the size of her palm glistened with the light of the warehouse. 

“I can light up the capital for a month with this single dagger. Then, what if the artifact with this rune becomes bigger? What if it can supply and produce energy on its own? How much energy can you collect and what do you think you can do with that energy?”

“I don’t know.”

I know the answer, but I pretended not to know it on purpose.

Then, Luena whispered with a satisfied expression.

“It might be possible to resurrect God.”

The resurrection of God. 

That is the goal set by the pioneers.

I already knew it, but I listened in moderation.

“We will resurrect God. Don’t feel unfair because you’re the victim of a great plan.”

“That’s enough. You’re done talking, right?”

“Yes, I said everything I had to say. I have to clean it up now.”

Luena came down from the box.

Then a pair of black horns sprout from her forehead.

A demon’s wings with a black covering spread from the back.

The moment Luena slowly transforms to engage in battle.

I was waiting for this time and shouted.

“Now!”

At the voice. 

Ethan and Leon, who broke in the left and right windows of the warehouse, swung their weapons at Luena.
