Even while searching for Rikudou, Vandalieu was still attending the Adventurers School. Naturally, there was a certain individual who was displeased with this, and she finally decided to directly voice her displeasure.

Do you not have any intention of graduating right now? Meorilith asked.

Have you lost your mind, Princ.i.p.al Meorilith? Vandalieu asked in response.

I never thought I would be having my sanity questioned by you, of all people, Meorilith sighed.

Vandalieu froze for a few seconds, but began moving again soon afterwards. I do think it was a little rude of me to say that to my princ.i.p.al, whom I have great respect for, but

I think you do doubt me in terms of trust and things like that. And you dont actually respect me that much, do you?

I do respect you.

Princ.i.p.al Meorilith had been tolerant enough to accept Vandalieu and Pauvina, who were complete outsiders, and although the teachers did have their own problems, Meorilith had been capable and well-respected enough to gather outstanding teaching staff at this school. She also handled n.o.bles very skillfully.

Vandalieu held a certain degree of respect for Meorilith for having all of these qualities as a princ.i.p.al to the point where he imagined that if he had her leaders.h.i.+p skills, her management knowledge, and political power, he might have been able to make some progress in protesting the construction of the Great Church, and even in protesting the construction of the enormous statue of himself, a matter in which he had been overwhelmingly crushed by public opinion.

But I dont have enough credits to graduate yet, Vandalieu said. I shouldnt be able to earn the necessary credits to graduate until this September at the earliest.

This matter was entirely separate from Vandalieus respect for Meorilith. Adventurers Schools had a credit-based curriculum, and students could not graduate until they earned the necessary number of credits. The Hero Preparatory School was no exception to this.

I mean, that is true, but this is an emergency, said Meorilith. If I pull some strings

That wont do, Princ.i.p.al, Vandalieu interrupted. Its important to uphold the system and follow the correct procedures.

I never thought I would be having the importance of the system and correct procedures explained to me by you, of all people.

Princ.i.p.al, I dont make light of systems and procedures. I use them to my advantage and poke holes in them, but these are things that I can do only because the systems, procedures, and rules exist in the first place.

Vandalieu had done what he wanted by taking advantage of the rules of the Tamers Guild, the Adventurers Guild, and the Hero Preparatory School, as well as several of the laws of the Orbaume Kingdom. But if those rules and laws didnt exist, he wouldnt have been able to take advantage of them. He had made the people of the city accept Eisen, Silkie, and the others the rules hadnt forbidden them, so they must be allowed. This wouldnt have been possible if he hadnt been able to take advantage of the rules and laws.

A lawless society wasnt more convenient than a society with law and order.

Thats why you dont need to go and set a bad precedent for no reason, Vandalieu said.

But I mean, theres someone called Rikudou Hijiri whos plotting something using the fragments of the Demon King, isnt there? Ive experienced fighting against and sealing away a rampaging Demon King fragment before, but Rikudou Hijiri has gathered more than ten of them, hasnt he? said Meorilith. If this isnt an emergency, then what is?

It is indeed an emergency, but its an emergency that can be dealt with without going to extreme lengths, said Vandalieu.

So, its an emergency after all. Then personally, I would like you to deal with it without worrying about school how about putting you on temporary leave from school? Meorilith suggested.

Its alright. Whether Im attending school or not, my measures to deal with the emergency wont change, said Vandalieu.

Thats what you say, but

Meorilith, give it up. This kid seems to have no intention of graduating, said the third person in the princ.i.p.als office Randolf the True.

He had interrupted, knowing that this conversation was going in circles.

Meorilith sighed, seeming to give up. I went into this a.s.suming that it wouldnt work, but it really didnt.

If he intended to graduate, he would have said so, after all, Randolf said. But are you sure about this? he asked Vandalieu with a stern look in his eyes.

Of course, Vandalieu said, nodding. It might not be flawless, but whether Im at school or not, I can deal with the emergency with the same level of thoroughness. Even now

Vandalieu produced a small Demon King Familiar, right before Meorilith and Randolfs eyes. They let out gasps of astonishment as they watched.

The back of his right hand swelled unnaturally, forming a lump. The skin on its surface transformed into solid bone, and compound eyes appeared as if being pushed out from within. The top of the lump split open, allowing dragonfly-like wings to emerge, and then it took flight, separating itself from Vandalieu.

Split ent.i.ties of me like this one, which are similar to familiars, are accompanying my companions while they work in my absence, the newly-created Demon King Familiar said.

If Im attending lectures or practical training sessions, it wont change anything, said Vandalieu.

Meorilith and Randolfs faces had turned pale, but they accepted this explanation.

I see. Youre controlling parts of your body that have split off from you using the Long-distance Control and Parallel Thought Processing Skills, said Randolf.

You can tell? asked Vandalieu, surprised.

Yes. Ive seen monsters that can do similar things. I never expected that a person would be able to do it, however.

In truth, the Skills Vandalieu was using were Group Control and Group Thought Processing, the awakened versions of the Skills that Randolf had mentioned, but Vandalieu decided to move on without correcting him for the purpose of making this conversation proceed smoothly rather than deliberately misleading Meorilith and Randolf, he told himself.

But its not flawless, then? Randolf asked.

I cant say for sure that there wont be any deaths or injuries, after all. I cant guarantee that there wont be any damage to the buildings, either, said Vandalieu.

n.o.body is asking that much of you. I dont know who or what you are, but at the very least, its certain that youre not in a position where youre responsible for the Orbaume Kingdoms public order or the lives of its people, said Randolf. Well, if were going to talk about the system, youre the son of a n.o.ble of the Alcrem Duchy, but

The one behind this conspiracy is Prime Minister Tercatanis. It would be unreasonable to hold the son of an honorary countess responsible for everything, Meorilith agreed.

Vandalieu and Darcia had turned to Meorilith and Randolf for help, giving just enough of an explanation for them to understand the situation regarding Rikudou Hijiri, as well as Prime Minister Tercatanis, who had become his servant and was acting on his behalf. Meorilith and Randolf had promised to help him without any hesitation.

Meorilith had previously learned that Prime Minister Tercatanis had proposed to provide the army with weapons made from fragments of the Demon King, and both she and Randolf knew that Vandalieu was no ordinary child. And because Vandalieu had brought letters from Duke Alcrem and Duke Jahan with him when requesting their help, they could not doubt that he was telling them the truth.

With that being the case, Meorilith and Randolf had accepted that Orbaume would be devastated. No matter how much was done to prevent damage, the royal castle would be destroyed at the very least. Damage to important nearby facilities and the upper-cla.s.s n.o.bles district would be impossible to avoid as well. That was the a.s.sumption they had been working with.

That was how much of an impact the news of this conspiracy one plotted by a dangerous person using fragments of the Demon King had on them.

If it was just a single rampaging fragment of the Demon King, Randolf alone would certainly be able to deal with it. Even if a single fragment rampaged in multiple different places simultaneously, there were others in Orbaume with strength equivalent to an A-cla.s.s adventurer or greater, such as Meorilith. There would be some casualties, but the entire city would not be at risk of destruction.

However, multiple fragments of the Demon King rampaging while fused together Randolf had previously defeated people infested by two or three fragments and sealed the fragments away. But the number of fragments in this case was unknown, and certainly well above ten.

It would be wise to think of this as an enemy that was more powerful than the average resurrected evil G.o.d.

Princ.i.p.al Meorilith, Dandolip-sensei, I would like to thank you again for your cooperation. Within the next few days, preparations will be complete for finding where Rikudou is hiding, so something might happen then. Ill make sure to contact you in advance, said Vandalieu, putting the Demon King Familiar he had just created into his pocket so that he could absorb it without Meorilith and Randolf seeing it.

I should stop making them in front of people who arent used to seeing it,

Vandalieu decided as he left Meoriliths office.

Randolf, Meorilith said.

I know, said Randolf. The familiar that Vandalieu made and showed us was made of fragments of the Demon King.

He had realized that the Demon King Familiar that Vandalieu had created was made of fragments of the Demon King. Ordinary familiars were pseudo-organisms created by mages using Mana or a catalyst, or living creatures that mages could share their senses with and give orders. But the Demon King Familiar had been far different from that.

But it was completely different from the rampaging fragments that weve seen in the past, Randolf continued. Rampaging fragments of the Demon King are like lost children. Theyre panicking, screaming and running around as they look for their parents other fragments. And yet, the fragments of the Demon King that Vandalieu showed us werent rampaging. They were calm, and they werent looking for anything.

That was Randolfs thoughts on the Demon King Familiar created by Vandalieu, compared to the rampaging state of the Demon King fragments he had seen in the past.

Of course, this is just my personal observation, so there is no definitive proof, Randolf added. For all I know, he could be using a piece of Demon King equipment that I dont know about.

No, Randolf, thats not what I wanted to mention, said Meorilith. I wanted to ask, when do you intend to reveal to Vandalieu that youre Randolf the True, and not a teacher named Dandolip?

Still disguised as Dandolip, Randolf remained silent and avoided her eyes. Vandalieu, who had just left the office, and his companions, still knew him as Dandolip-sensei.

I am simply waiting for my students to see through my disguise themselves. Revealing my true ident.i.ty to them will do them no good, Randolf said.

Randolf, its rather shameful for you to give a reason like that as if its just an afterthought, said Meorilith.

Randolf fell silent for a few moments. Keeping quiet about my real ident.i.ty wont cause any problems. Im sure Duke Takkard Alcrem and Duke Hadros Jahan havent mentioned me to Vandalieu either because its not necessary.

Randolf was acquainted with both dukes with whom Vandalieu had formed unofficial alliances He had even met Duke Alcrem about a year ago; it was almost certain that Duke Alcrem would recognize who Dandolip-sensei was if they were to meet face to face.

No, its not about whether it will cause problems or whether its necessary. Im sure the dukes simply dont know that youre here, or theyre just avoiding talking about you. Theyre being considerate of you, said Meorilith.

What Randolf had said was unlikely to be true. Both dukes did indeed know Randolfs face and how to contact him.

But it was unclear as to whether they knew where he was now. If they didnt even know the name and face of Dandolip, the teacher who was being temporarily employed at the Hero Preparatory School, whether they would be able to tell that he was Randolf or not was irrelevant.

Of course, if they were interested in investigating who Dandolip was, they could. Duke Jahan had investigated Vandalieu previously, so it was possible that he already knew.

But even if they were aware of who Dandolip was, the dukes knew that Randolf disliked news about him being spread, so it was possible that they had not explicitly told Vandalieu about him for that reason.

Even if they

are

keeping quiet about my ident.i.ty out of consideration for me, Im sure they would have told him if they thought it was necessary. Its a situation that will determine the fate of Orbaume, you know, Randolf said.

I dont know about that, said Meorilith. Youll have to ask them yourselves. But maybe theyve hinted at it. Maybe they told Vandalieu, Try asking the teachers at the school youre attending for help. How about your homeroom teacher, Dandolip-sensei?

If they did that, then Im sure he would have realized my true ident.i.ty Could it be that hes realized, but is waiting for me to tell him myself?

I didnt sense anything that suggested he might be doing that, but even if he really hasnt realized your true ident.i.ty, I think you should tell him. Though Im sure thats complicated for you, given the long years youve spent doing your best to avoid getting involved with Churches.

Randolf had become secretive after retiring from adventuring, even more than that, he had become an atheist a man who believed that people should not get involved with any G.o.d or Church regardless of whether the G.o.d was Alda, the G.o.d of Law and Fate, Peria, the mother of the Elf race, or Vida, the G.o.ddess of Life and Love.

That was why Vandalieu, who preached Vida fundamentalism, was someone he would normally want to keep his distance from.

I dont resent or hate people who pray to G.o.ds. Forcing others to wors.h.i.+p your G.o.d or follow your doctrines is unacceptable, but I know that Vandalieu and his lot arent like that. Im just hesitant because I know things will become troublesome later on, Randolf said.

Even if the people knew that Randolf had stepped forth to act when the city was in danger, nothing would happen right away. But once the situation was brought back under control, there would be people saying things that were troublesome to him people with influence and money.

They would say that Randolf the True had joined Vandalieu, who preached Vida fundamentalism in other words, the house of Honorary Countess Zakkart. They would use those rumors to make political moves.

One might wonder how Randolf could be thinking about such things when Orbaume, a city with a huge population of people, and the entire kingdom, were at risk. However the more Vandalieu managed to minimize the damage, the more his worries would become reality.

I know how troublesome politics are. But if you keep your ident.i.ty a secret, and it becomes revealed at an unexpected moment, it might get out of control. It would be wiser to reveal your ident.i.ty to a few in advance, and have them cooperate to keep it a secret, said Meorilith.

Randolf sighed. Its just as you say. But before I reveal my ident.i.ty to Vandalieu, I want to make things right. I need to apologize to Sensei for receiving instruction from her while deceiving her.

Ah, that one, the Kanako-sensei you mentioned. The one whos scheduled to perform at the opening event of the new theater being built by the Jahan house, the Alcrem house, and the Tamers Guild. Randolf, could it be that youve fallen for this Kanako-sensei?

No way. If I had a daughter, Kanako-sensei would be even younger than her.

Randolf and Meorilith were Elves, and Kanako was a Dark Elf (as far as people knew). It was difficult to tell their ages based on their appearances. However, Elves and Dark Elves were able to vaguely discern each others ages.

Randolf felt that Kanako was far younger than himself, and although he respected her, he was unable to see her as a member of the opposite s.e.x and in reality, they were about as far apart in age as a grandfather and his granddaughter.

I see. Sorry for asking such a strange question, Meorilith apologized.

No, I am aware that I am rather obsessed with her. Sorry for making you misunderstand. Now then I need to go to give my next lecture, so I will excuse myself, he said, turning to leave the office.

As he turned his back to Meorilith, she said one last thing to him.

Its possible that the Dark Elf named Kanako is a Guider. If she is, then I can understand why youre so obsessed with her.

A musical Guider, huh. If she is, then maybe I wouldnt mind lending her all my strength, said Randolf.

Meanwhile, the Kanako-sensei that Meorilith and Randolf were discussing was currently in the theater that had been built beneath a warehouse owned by the Tamers Guild in an urban area of the city.

He did say that he built the foundation this morning, but it really is nothing more than a foundation, she remarked, her voice echoing in the enormous but empty s.p.a.ce. Well, it

is

impressive that he even built the foundation. It looks like it will be much faster than digging up all the dirt from scratch, too. But I need to get the interior design sorted out, so the opening event will probably be around the time Van and Pauvina-chan graduate.

Are you really going to perform here? asked Orlock, the Guild Master of the Tamers Guild, sounding surprised.

Even his familiar, a Crystal Elder Bear a white bear with shard-like crystals growing on its body gave a surprised twitch.

I thought that making this s.p.a.ce a theater was just a pretext to build a place where people can evacuate when needed Orlock murmured.

Like Randolf and Meorilith, he had been told about Rikudou Hijiri. He had promised his help with creating a shelter where people could evacuate in the event that the fragments of the Demon King gathered by Rikudou Hijiri went on a rampage and caused large-scale damage.

At this point in time, it was a mystery as to whether Prime Minister Tercatanis would have any further contact with Rikudou, but it would be inconvenient if the prime minister were to find out about this place. That was why Orlock had a.s.sumed it was being announced as a theater to hide its true purpose as an evacuation shelter.

In the past, many had suggested a theater or circus for familiars to perform so that people could gain a deeper understanding of familiars.

Such suggestions had never materialized due a lack of budget, failed negotiations with government officials, opposition from people who believed that familiars were companions and companions shouldnt be used to put on shows for people to gawk at, and Orlocks own opinions, as he doubted that a theaters operations could be sustained even if it was built. Tamers were few in number, and if the objective was to deepen peoples understanding of familiars, then familiars that were monsters would be needed rather than ordinary dogs, monkeys, or birds. And a theater or circus wouldnt be a business run by one person; there werent any tamers with the knowledge and skills needed to keep such a business running.

Thus, Orlock didnt have any intention of actually running this place as a theater.

Of course Im going to perform here. It would be a waste if I didnt, said Kanako.

Are you mad?! This is a Dungeon! Orlock exclaimed.

Indeed, this place was a Dungeon that Vandalieu had created. It wasnt an underground facility that he had dug into the ground using Golem Creation; it was a labyrinth he had created with Labyrinth Creation whose entrance he had placed at one corner of the warehouse.

Using ordinary construction methods to create this shelter would have taken too much time. And the danger that would cause people to have to evacuate was not a natural disaster, but Rikudou Hijiri. If Rikudou were to unleash a shockwave of death as he had done in Origin, no building would be able to block it, no matter how st.u.r.dy it was.

But Vandalieu could temporarily create a Dungeon. This would need a wide s.p.a.ce, but if he made it low-difficulty, manipulated the monster sp.a.w.n rates and locations, and ordered them not to attack people, he could create Dungeon floors that were safe.

It would also be isolated from whatever happened outside it. Even if an explosion enormous enough to change the landscape occurred, or slas.h.i.+ng attacks that could split mountains were exchanged, or hundred-meter-tall Colossi and Elder Dragons brawled, it would be entirely unaffected.

If Rikudou Hijiri was somehow capable of wielding the fragments of the Demon King, it was possible that he would be able to affect the Dungeon in some way. But even so, it would be safer than any place on the surface.

That was why Vandalieu had created a theater-shaped Dungeon.

After things were over, it would need constant management so that monster stampedes didnt occur, but its difficulty was E-cla.s.s, so that wouldnt be too hard. Orlock and the other tamers that belonged to the Guild could clear it in turns to keep the monster numbers down.

Of course, if its existence was discovered, people would see it as a problem, but Orlock believed that if this occurred, he could take responsibility by resigning as Guild Master.

But hed never thought that it would really be run as a theater.

Of course Im not mad. Ah, but we still havent written up a contract with all the legal stuff, so negotiation is still possible, Kanako said.

No, that is not what I am trying to say said Orlock.

Youre right, its definitely inconvenient to have just one entrance. Guests will have to use the same entrance as the stagehands, and the stage equipment will have to be carried through the same entrance. Not having a back entrance is tough.

No, no, I am not trying to point out problems with its function as a theater.

Ah, if youre wanting to complain about its safety, its too late. If there was a problem with that, we wouldnt be able to use it as a shelter, would we?

That is indeed true, but using it temporarily during an emergency is different from continuously using it as a theater, is it not?! And if we do continue to use it as a theater, people will find out that its a Dungeon!

Youre seeing the safety for yourself, arent you? And as for people finding out that its a Dungeon I dont think you need to be so worried about that.

When Vandalieu proposed using a Dungeon as a shelter he had found it difficult to believe that Vandalieu had the ability to create Dungeons in the first place, but he had also only agreed to it on one condition. That condition was that he could confirm its safety for himself, as he was doing now.

That was why he had come here with Kanako. Just in case, he had brought his familiar that was most proficient in battle his Rank 6 Crystal Elder Bear.

Mmm, indeed, Orlock said, calming down as he realized that Kanako was right. I am convinced that it is safe, but what do you mean when you say that I dont need to worry about people finding out that its a Dungeon?

We havent decided how were going to conclude this incident, but no matter how it ends, Prime Minister Tercatanis will be ousted from his position, said Kanako. The prime minister has thick connections to the Church of Alda, so

I see. The prime minister and the other n.o.bles of the royal realm, as well as the Church of Alda, will lose influence. Meanwhile, Duke Alcrem and Duke Jahan, the ones to respond to the situation the quickest, and the Church of Vida, will gain influence.

If that happened, it would be easy to silence the voices that would criticize the creation and use of a Dungeon in the middle of the city.

I thought that this incident would be a good opportunity for me to retire, but it seems that I must hold my position for a while longer, Orlock remarked.

Leaving aside the true purpose of the theater, it would be far too irresponsible to declare the opening of a theater and then retire immediately afterwards, before the theaters opening event, despite not having any health-related problems.

Do you need some more V Cream? Kanako asked.

That hair growth medicine? I am not bald, but I suppose it would not hurt to receive some more, said Orlock.

Several days later, preparations were complete.

A map of the castle, including every hidden chamber and concealed pa.s.sage, had been made. Enough spirits, Demon King Familiars, and Imp Mice had been gathered. Vandalieu even had the Staff of Five Sins.

And he had contacted the people he needed to.

And with that, Vandalieus Job change was complete as well.

Due to his treatment of Amelia and the other former patients of the Hospital of Psychotherapy, as well as some of the members of the a.s.sa.s.sins organization that had been absorbed into his forces, he had reached the maximum Level for the Spirit Therapist Job. The Jobs he had chosen after that, Magic Staff Creator and Artisan: Transformation Equipment, had quickly followed after he completed the transformation equipment for the Moon Giant Deeana, which had taken a considerable amount of time, and the transformation equipment for Elizabeth, Macht-senpai, and the others.

Now then, since Ive finished changing Jobs Its time to begin the plan to find Rikudou, Vandalieu said as he emerged after his Job change.

The spirits and Imp Mice gathered before him formed a swarm that rushed into the royal castle.

Job explanation:

Spirit Therapist

A Job that allows the adjustment (reshaping) of a targets spirit form. It allows the user to change the shape of the targets spirit form with their own spirit form, and grants the target the ability to manipulate their own spirit form.

This has a high chance of allowing the target to use their spirit form to inhabit artificial limbs made of inorganic matter to control them like they were a part of their own bodies, and make the spirit form protrude from their physical body to act as a third arm or leg.

It would be difficult for anyone other than Vandalieu to acquire this Job, but if those who received the above treatments from Vandalieu were to improve their ability to control their own spirit form even further, it is possible that they could apply the same treatment to others and acquire this Job themselves.

Job explanation:

Magic Staff Creator

A Job for craftsmen who create magic staves in other words, transformation equipment.

Job explanation:

Artisan: Transformation Equipment

A Job for craftsmen whose skill in creating transformation equipment reaches that of an artisan. Such artisans are capable of creating transformation equipment for those whose bodies are vastly different from ordinary humans a hundred-meter-tall Colossus, for instance.
