Chapter 38
38 – Instant Dungeon
“Harem.”
Ellie said that in a voice that Sierra couldn’t hear.
Her eyes narrowed like a mischievous person right before presenting an elaborate prank. There is literally a goblin in the expression of a smile that shows teeth.
“It’s a man’s dream~! If Yohan looks like that…. Of course you have that kind of ambition, don’t you?”
In the Legend Route world, monogamy or polygamy is allowed. That’s not too surprising. Even same-s*x marriage is allowed so that it does not fit in with the fantasy world. It can’t be helped, most of the playable characters in the legend route are female.
If you think about the characters with harem endings, they were all female. It was a bright lily flower ending that made my eyes hurt.
“Harem…. Well, every man dreams like that.”
“So, Yohan-kun, are you interested? Hmm~! It looks like I’m interested~?”
As Sierra goes to the other room to clean, Ellie sneaks up on me.
Actually, it was time to acquire a new “Character”. There was only one characteristic that I copied.
It is a disappointing achievement to copy a single trait with such a fraudulent trait. In fact, she was also sowing favorability for it.
“If you are interested, what would you do? Are you thinking of running for office?”
If it were me before I became possessed, I wouldn’t have even thought of saying this to a woman, but it’s different now. When the wakkoo changes, the eyes to see the world change.
“Oh oh oh! You’re bold, Yohan-kun~!”
Ellie clapped her hands, squealing at what was so enjoyable. There is no such thing as very poor. Sierra will do her sword dance if she notices.
“I don’t hate men like Yohan.”
Ellie stretches out her hand toward me.
He lightly touches my cheek with a careless hand. It’s very, very, very light skinship, but the atmosphere it exudes is no joke.
If she hadn’t had any information about Ellie, she would have suspected that she was just as stupid as Professor Flora. However, that is not the case. Ellie’s actions were obviously thoroughly calculated.
Ellie Janet.
She looks like a bit of a goofy and erratic girl, but that’s just the shell she’s wearing. In fact, she has hair befitting the title of the daughter of the grand corps. Her appearance, as light as a balloon, is camouflage to hide her true nature.
Ellie approaching me like this.
It’s definitely her needs. In other words, she judged me to be quite ‘useful’.
It is clear that the title of the top student in the academy and the ability shown in exchange matches were the targets of consideration. In other words, it was approached with a purpose other than love.
What is Ellie’s affinity for me?
I can’t calculate it perfectly, but if I were to estimate it with my intuition, it would be around the early 20’s. It’s definitely not a low number, but it’s definitely not high enough to cause a confession event or a kiss event.
“John. When is the time, do you want to go out together? Just the two of us without Miss Sierra.”
“Isn’t Sierra scary?”
“Of course Sierra needs Yohan-kun to calm her down. You said you were making a harem. How can you make a harem when there’s only two women causing mayhem?”
Ellie tapped the back of her nose and turned her body around with her back on her back. The enchanting atmosphere changes in an instant. The appearance of returning to the usual ‘Ellie’.
“John! I’ve finished tidying up my room. It looks like there is laundry overdue, so I’ll wash it now.”
Ellie opened her mouth in a lively voice at the sound of Sierra’s voice coming from her room.
“Whoops! By the way, this dorm is really nice~! If you stay here, you will naturally spring up in your heart to study! Our dorm wasn’t bad either.”
The curfew was approaching when Ellie, who had returned to normal, and Sierra, who had become a snail, returned to the dormitory. Even after Ellie passed away, her words remained meaningful in her ears.

-How can you create a harem when only two women cause mayhem?
That is the correct answer. Wasn’t polygamy legal in this world in the first place?
There is absolutely no reason to hesitate about moving forward, bound by the common sense of the previous life. I’m a bit afraid of Yanmod Sierra, but controlling it is also my ability.
“Then who should be our next target?”
There are many candidates. The ones that immediately come to mind are Sarah Leoris, Arsha Swordhorn, Flora Chepeshu, Izumi Reina, etc.
Ah, let’s think about this tomorrow.
I’m tired today, so I need to sleep.
By the way, it seems that one piece of underwear is missing. Is it an illusion?
—
After the entrance ceremony, the department selection period passed by in a whirlwind. Students initially entered the department of their choice and took full-fledged classes. Finally, the feeling of a real new semester permeated the academy campus.
Most of the students are not yet relaxed. Academy life is not so easy. In particular, for aristocratic students, the academy is a huge place for socializing, so there are many things to pay attention to besides classes.
How to socialize with someone from a family, or how to reject someone from a family.
Establishing these relationships was very important in order to exert influence in this academy, which is a microcosm of royal society. Also, this network management is useful even after graduating from the academy.
Didn’t it be said that school ties are as strong as blood ties and regional ties?
When the academia sees what’s going on, no one in the kingdom can deny that fact.
Arsha Sword Horn.
After entering the academy with excellent grades, she felt bored.
Department classes were honestly boring. At best it was her solid foundation lectures, at worst it was a rehash of her lessons she had finished her old evening. From Arsha’s point of view, there is nothing more to hear.
The academy has a large gender gap. In particular, in this generation called the golden generation, the gap was even greater. Sarah Leoris, who has already been evaluated as more than a graduate, cannot be put on the same level as a student who entered the academy with a pull-up.
It was the same with Arsha. Within her academy, she has a handful of opponents who can compete with her for supremacy. Even her modest upperclassmen did not rise to the level that Arsha had reached.
It would be nice to provide differentiated lectures according to the level of students, but for various practical reasons, such a system has not yet been implemented at the academy. That was the main reason for the boredom that Arsha felt right now.
‘This guy and that guy are full of thoughts about networking.’
What was as boring as class was human relations. The academy students were full of thoughts of how to use this person better, or how to isolate this bastard. Arsha was a figure not to be missed by those who generously utilized the knowledge she had learned from her parents in the name of the art of living.
“Miss Sword Horn. The weather is really nice today. I, Vilando Mason, want to escort Miss Swordhorn today….”
“I know a very good restaurant. It’s run by a chef my father knows well. .”
“Oh my God! Where did you get this luxurious necklace? There is a party in the girls’ dormitory tonight, if you have time….”
This guy and that guy, it’s just a boring story. It was quite hard work to give each of them an answer that was not against the etiquette.
“Today’s class ends here.”
Class is over. Mixed in with the procession of students returning to the dormitory, Arsha also moved towards the dormitory. The dormitory given as the privilege of second-ranking was located a little far from the group dormitory used by ordinary students.
‘Huh? That guy… ?’
A man came into Arsha’s eyes as she returned to the dormitory. He is a man with a gorgeous appearance that is instantly recognizable no matter how far you look.
‘It’s John Baker.’
John Baker.
He is the top student at the academy and the subject of a lot of talk among academy students these days.
-Did you hear about that? The thief department and the spearmanship department had an exchange battle, but the thief department won!
-Didn’t you say that the chief entered the thief department? By the way, where is the rogue department?
-I heard that spearmanship classes are often held at the training ground. Shall we take a look when we have time?
– Great! I’m thinking of confessing to him this time. He’s a commoner, but if he looks like that, wouldn’t it be okay to take him as his son-in-law?
The image of Yohan shown in the duel at the entrance ceremony was strongly imprinted in the minds of the academy students. By the way, he seems to have exchanged battles with the spearmanship department even after that. The result is said to be a victory for the thief department.
‘Is this the first time since visiting Leoris Mansion? Where are you going?’
John is walking on foot somewhere.
Arsha’s curiosity was stimulated by that appearance.
It seems that the Curiosity Institute, tired of boring daily life and boring classes, has been stretched. Arsha secretly followed John.
‘To think I was stepping on a man without dignity…. He must have been quite bored lately.’
You can just ask where you are going without stepping on your back. No, on the contrary, it was more suitable for aristocrats.
However, it was strangely embarrassing to do so. Come to think of it, when she and John were invited to a party at Leoris’ mansion, she had only seen them once, and had no relationship whatsoever. Asking in a friendly way, “Hey, where are you going?” Just because you mixed up a few words seemed like being too close.
If she had capybara-level affinity like Eli Janet, she would have easily asked such a question, but Arsha was not that kind of human.
John’s footsteps led to a small garden forest inside the academy. Although it is a forest with a simple walking course, few people visit it on weekdays as it is located on the outskirts of the academy. On weekends, people gather quite a bit.
‘What are you doing here? Are you here for a picnic?’
I don’t even have a picnic basket in my hand to say that. Besides, a man alone on a picnic.
“One.”
John stopped abruptly on a stepping stone on the promenade. Surprised to see if she had been followed, Arsha hid herself behind her bush, covering her mouth with her hands.
“Two.”
Fortunately, I don’t think I was caught. John counted alone and moved his steps slowly. I don’t know what you’re doing.
“Three.”
John rotated his body 90 degrees at the point of three steps.
He looked like a pirate looking for treasure buried on a map.
“Four here.”
John moves his steps while counting the numbers like that.
His steps continued exactly nine steps.
“Is this here?”
John stopped in front of an ordinary tree. As he reached for the tree, something surprising happened. A blue light emanated from the knothole in the tree. The emitted light created a circular passage.
‘Dungeon!?’
This is the entrance to the dungeon. It was like the entrance to an instant dungeon, not a normal dungeon.
There is an instant dungeon hidden in the academy garden forest.
It was a surprising fact.
‘How did you know that?’
John entered the passage of the dungeon. At his action without the slightest hesitation, Arsha stuck out his head.
John Baker.
The more I look at it, the more unknown it is to me.
Arsha is starting to get confused. She doesn’t know what feelings she should have for that man.
But one thing is certain. That that man has a strange magical power that can dissolve his boring daily life.
Arsha jumped up from her seat. Fortunately, she was on her way home from class, so she brought her weapon. She moved her steps towards the entrance of the instant dungeon.
