667.

“At least we can sleep comfortably, so that’s fortunate!”

Cal entered the tent with a cheerful laugh.

The craftsmen of Ivaldi had rebuilt the ruined fortress, but only the main facilities.

As a result, the residents of Ivaldi lived in tents like this.

“There are no residents around us.”

“That’s inevitable. We’re outsiders after all. It seems we’ve cleared the suspicion of being spies, but… that doesn’t mean we’re completely free from being objects of caution.”

At Luke’s words, Cal took off his shoes and organized them to one side before speaking.

Currently, the Arhee party’s tent was set up not far from the fortress’s city wall.

It was at a distance from the residential area of Ivaldi’s residents and in a place convenient for those guarding the city wall to monitor.

Havedon let out a small sigh.

“Being under suspicion isn’t very pleasant.”

“It can’t be helped. This was an era when traitors ran rampant.”

“…”

At those words, Luke and Havedon fell silent.

Even now, 5,000 years after the Age of Calamity ended, traitors who betray the world still exist.

How much worse must it have been during the Age of Calamity?

Duran opened his mouth.

“There must be a reason why the Hero of the Beginning became the first Shadow.”

The story of Kail burying countless traitors in darkness was already too famous.

“Suspicion can be cleared. And we didn’t come here to play around. Rather, being close to the city wall is a good thing.”

Clenching and unclenching his fists, Duran curled up the corners of his mouth.

“Because we can be deployed into combat at any time.”

“That’s certainly true.”

“It seems we need to maintain perfect condition.”

Havedon stroked his chin, and Luke, clenching both hands tightly, showed firm determination.

“Ugh. I want to rest comfortably.”

“Excuse me!”

At that moment, the tent flap opened and Iliana entered with a sleeping bag tucked under her arm.

Seeing this, Cal stood in front of a sleeping bag in one corner of the tent.

“I have no intention of switching, so go back.”

“What do you take me for! I don’t have such thoughts!”

“Then why did you come to our tent carrying a sleeping bag?”

“Um… to sleep here?”

“You’re being ridiculous.”

“Tch!”

Iliana clicked her tongue.

“Don’t be so petty and switch with me! There’s a huge hole in it! Wind keeps coming through!”

Seeing this, Luke smiled.

“Shall I switch with you?”

“No, Luke. She’ll develop bad habits.”

When Cal spoke coldly, Iliana placed her hands on her hips with a snap.

“I’m not just asking you to switch! Let’s decide with rock-paper-scissors!”

“I can see you already lost.”

“Yeah.”

“I refuse. Don’t drag our tent into your tent’s problems.”

“Ah! Duran! You’re being petty!”

When Iliana made a sulky expression, Luke said,

“Then I’ll mend it for you. I’m good at that sort of thing.”

Luke skillfully took out thread and needle from his chest.

“You have good life skills, don’t you?”

At Cal’s words, Luke scratched his head.

“It’s nothing special. When I was young, I even made dolls for the village children.”

Luke smiled brightly as he mended Iliana’s sleeping bag.

“Cal, can I come in?”

At that moment, Chelsea’s voice was heard from outside the tent.

“Come in.”

At Cal’s words, the tent flap opened and the female students entered.

“What? You were here?”

“A loser.”

Chelsea made an incredulous expression, and Ar covered her mouth and gloated.

“Who are you calling a loser!”

“You.”

When Eliza sneered, Iliana shouted.

“One more round! Let’s have one more round betting dinner!”

“Senior, please calm down.”

Aina calmed the excited Iliana.

“You did lose, after all. You should know how to accept defeat…”

“Uwaaaaah!”

Iliana became even more excited.

“Aina, what are you doing provoking her instead?”

At Cal’s words, Aina made a flustered expression.

“What? Me?”

“Don’t you realize it?”

“Pathetic.”

Chelsea shook her head.

“Chelsea, you seem the most like an upperclassman.”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“Even though you’re the smallest.”

“Huh? Do you want your arm broken?”

“Now, stop chattering! First, let’s organize the situation until Professor, Leo, and Driana arrive.”

Cal hastily changed the atmosphere.

Currently, Leo, Artion, and Driana had gone to see the outsiders who had arrived here before the group.

It was necessary to confirm whether those who had fallen unconscious in the infirmary were the advance reconnaissance team that came before Leo’s group.

“First, the current time period. Well, this shouldn’t be too difficult since Leo confirmed it through Dweno.”

“Before Dweno joined the Great Hero’s party.”

At Chelsea’s words, Iliana crossed her arms and made a troubled expression.

“This has become troublesome.”

“Why is it troublesome?”

When Luke asked with a puzzled face, Aina answered for him.

“There are no hints for the strategy.”

“Ah!”

Conquering the Heroes’ World is basically conducted based on the past deeds of heroes.

The reason heroic studies, which research the deeds of heroes, emerged as the most important discipline for heroes, is also for this reason.

And the heroes most studied in heroic studies are precisely the Great Heroes.

Any hero academy student knows all the stories about the Great Heroes.

Even if there are differences from actual history, they have the ability to piece things together and find strategy hints to some degree.

The problem is that there are no records left of Dweno’s deeds before joining Risinass’s party.

And unfortunately, they had now encountered Dweno from that very era.

“It’s not just Dweno. We don’t know anything about this place called Ivaldi either. Literally, except for knowing this is Dweno’s world, we have no strategy clues.”

‘Well, if it’s Leo, he’ll probably know, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.’

At Cal’s words, Havedon spoke.

“Even so, we can’t just sit around doing nothing. Let’s methodically search for clues to clear this.”

“Right. First, let’s try to deduce the clearing objective. If this is Dweno’s world…”

As Cal trailed off, Arga crossed his arms.

“There’s a high probability it’s an objective related to Gias the Giant King.”

“Hmm… That’s likely. Seeing that it’s a fortress, do we need to fend off the Giant King’s offensive like last time?”

The Arhee party put their heads together and focused on understanding the current situation.

The fortress’s defensive capacity.

Even the condition of the people inside the fortress they had briefly observed.

They were discussing what they had directly seen and felt when.

“But you know, is this world really the Heroes’ World?”

Luke cautiously spoke up.

“If it’s not the Heroes’ World, then what?”

“Well… for instance, the Legion’s World…”

At those words, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

“Right, that’s definitely a possibility!”

Leo was certain it was the Legion’s World when he saw that Dweno didn’t remember him, but the other party members weren’t.

“Then you’re saying the Legion’s World went berserk? Leo oppa said that the Legion’s Record was an unstable item, so it probably wouldn’t go berserk.”

“No, it’s not like Leo knows everything. Especially since the Legion’s Record was something Leo never expected at all, right?”

“Hmm!”

“Cal’s right. Even the Black Rabbit isn’t omniscient.”

Aina, who had been thinking while listening to that conversation, spoke up.

“There were two methods to clear a berserk Hero Dungeon, right?”

At Aina’s words, Duran spoke.

“The first clearing method is to achieve a valid clearing objective. The second is.”

“To destroy the Hero Record fragment that is the core of the world.”

Eliza continued Duran’s words while trimming her nails.

“If this is the Legion’s World, couldn’t we just clear it using the second method?”

The second method was a situation they had completely ruled out.

No matter how much the Heroes’ World had gone berserk, it was none other than Dweno’s Hero Record fragment.

As such, they had to prioritize recovery above all else.

But if this was the Legion’s World, the story was different.

At Eliza’s words, Chelsea nodded.

“Right. We just need to find the dungeon entrance, dive into the Legion’s World, and find the Record fragment, so it’s the easiest method.”

They continued discussing clearing methods after that.

“I think talking up to this point is the best we can do. We’ll need the Black Rabbit to come before we can determine the direction for the rest.”

At Ar’s words, the party nodded as if agreeing.

“Alright, let’s rest now. Go back to your tents.”

“I haven’t finished repairing my sleeping bag yet.”

“There’s nothing to do even if we go anyway. Cal, don’t you have snacks?”

“Did you entrust me with your snacks?”

“Yeah. I did. That snack delivery service you started at the Department of Magic dormitory. I’m a VIP.”

“Ah, that’s right.”

Cal pulled out a bag of cookies from his extradimensional space.

“You carry stuff like that in your extradimensional space?”

When Arga made an incredulous expression, Cal laughed smugly.

“This Cal’s extradimensional space that runs a general store has everything except what it doesn’t have.”

Watching Cal make a smug expression, Eliza looked exasperated.

“Hmph, what’s so proud about cleaning up after others.”

“Aw~ there you go again.”

Cal laughed good-naturedly.

[System Error: An unauthorized entity has invaded the world.]

“Huh?!”

Cal was startled.

It wasn’t just Cal.

The entire party’s expressions changed at the message that appeared before their eyes.

But the message wasn’t just one.

Two more messages remained.

[Clearing Objective: Repeat the glorious history of victory. Massacre all residents of Ivaldi.]

***

Leo was heading to the infirmary following Ennitha.

“Are the outsiders who came here before us in very serious condition?”

When Artion asked worriedly, Ennitha smiled bitterly.

“Yeah. It’s amazing they’re still alive.”

At Ennitha’s words, Driana clenched her fist.

It wasn’t confirmed yet that they were the advance reconnaissance team, but judging by the timing, it was almost certain.

Noren, who led the advance reconnaissance team, was also a professor at Demian.

And Driana was also a student taking Noren’s classes.

[System Error: An unauthorized entity has invaded the world.]

[Clearing Objective: Repeat the glorious history of victory. Massacre all residents of Ivaldi.]

Three messages suddenly appeared before the three people.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

Ennitha looked at the three with a confused face.

“Oh, it’s nothing…”

“We were just suddenly startled, teacher.”

Artion and Driana smiled awkwardly, trying to act as naturally as possible.

But Leo just stared intently at the last message.

“Student Leo?”

Artion cautiously called out to Leo.

‘What kind of bullshit is this?’

Killing intent flickered in Leo’s red eyes.

[Clearing Objective (Hidden): Capture the ugly Dweno who survived alone.]
