Episode 64
There’s a saying that anything is better when done together with others rather than alone.
After all, there’s even a proverb that even a sheet of paper is lighter when lifted together.
Nana was someone who followed that saying quite faithfully.
“So here’s what I’m thinking.”
She crossed her arms and lifted her head.
“I’m planning to go destroy the Farm. If anyone wants to back out, please raise your hand now.”
Silence. No one raised their hand.
Lucas and Ishanka weren’t the type to do so.
Especially not Ishanka.
“I cannot turn away from witnessing something unjust!”
Lucas said with gleaming eyes.
“Even if my life is in danger, I will join you!”
“Good.”
Nana rested her elbow on the edge of the table and interlaced her fingers.
“The goal is simple. Destroy the Farm and return safely. We can’t give them a chance to recover by half-heartedly occupying it, so we’ll finish it in one go.”
“For that, we need to know the internal structure.”
Ishanka quietly continued.
“And we need to rescue the civilians inside too!”
Lucas added energetically.
“Ah, about information on the Farm’s interior…”
Before Nana could finish her sentence, the door burst open with a bang and Sam entered.
“How did you know to come here?”
“Brody told me and I came. But how could you leave me out? You traitors!”
Nana looked at Sam with a blank expression before speaking.
“Do you remember what you’ve been like all this time?”
Sam slyly averted his eyes and turned his head away.
A few days ago, Sam seemed to have received quite a shock after facing the true nature of the Nobility at Royal Imperial Ground. Since that day, he had holed up in his room without saying a word, and Nana hadn’t bothered to disturb him.
Sometimes, she knew there were moments when someone needed time alone rather than having others talk to them.
“Do you know how nice I was to leave you alone? Even when you were holed up in your room like a shut-in, I didn’t nag you even once! And what? Traitors?”
“That’s not what I meant…”
“And do you know why I didn’t call you?”
Nana frowned slightly and spoke firmly.
“In your current state, I didn’t think you’d be helpful to our fighting strength. Honestly, I thought you’d fall into even more shock rather than recovering from it.”
“…”
It seemed she had hit the mark.
Nana continued in a slightly softer tone.
“I need someone who can face things head-on, not someone who just stands by. If that’s difficult for you, it’s okay to sit this one out.”
Sam, who had been listening silently, raised his head. His expression was still awkward, but his eyes had definitely changed.
“…I won’t run away. I’ll face it properly.”
Nana narrowed her eyes for a moment, then nodded slightly.
“Good. But if you start whining, you’re immediately kicked out.”
“Kicked out? What’s that?”
“It’s a thing.”
Nana turned her gaze to look at Ishanka and Lucas.
“To continue what we were talking about earlier, getting information about the Farm’s interior shouldn’t be too difficult.”
“Do you mean asking the Children?”
Ishanka asked cautiously. Nana shook her head.
“No. I won’t talk to the Children about the Farm. They’re just starting to smile again, and I don’t want to reopen those wounds. And.”
She smiled meaningfully.
“There are guys who have more accurate information than the Children, aren’t there?”
* * *
A dark alley.
The man walked slowly, his feet heavily hitting the ground.
He was a Manager at the Farm.
Here, being a Manager was a position that everyone feared, and he enjoyed people’s looks of terror.
Fear and submission – that was his authority.
But recently, that pride had been shattered to pieces.
The cause was just one thing.
It was because of that incident that happened while trying to catch escaping young livestock.
At first, it was just a light chase.
He thought it would end once he cornered them. He had been prowling back alleys even before the disaster. Just one kid. But the problem came after that.
In the end, the little rat escaped and he and his colleagues were left with all their pants stripped off.
What kind of pervert would do such a thing-!
The fact that his underwear got caught on a nail and ripped completely while looking for his pants was a secret.
Since that day, he had been thinking with gritted teeth.
He would never suffer such humiliation again.
Never!
The belt around his waist was unusually tight today. There would be no more incidents of having his pants stripped off.
He was consoling himself with that thought when it happened.
“Excuse me.”
“Who… gack!”
The moment the man turned around, someone’s hand grabbed his throat and slammed him against the wall.
His breath was cut off and his eyes snapped open. A familiar face came into his view.
That bastard…!
It was the very person who had beaten them up on that day when he was knocked out and lying on the Train Station floor wearing only underwear.
“I thought your face looked familiar – you’re the guy who lost his pants at the Train Station last time, right?”
The incident of losing his pants at the Train Station was something only he and his colleagues knew about.
The fact that this person knew about it meant.
“You, you did that… gaaack!”
“You only answer what I ask.”
Ishanka put strength into his arm. The man’s toes left the ground.
“Since we’ve met like this by fate, shall we have a sincere conversation?”
The man cried inwardly.
Why has my life come to this…
* * *
That night.
As a result of catching a Manager and having a ‘conversation’ with him, Nana was able to extract more information than expected.
The Farm was built on the Outskirts of the Capital, Old Factory District and was currently operating divided into three sections.
First, the section that purified and managed contaminated water.
Second, the section that cultivated and processed food.
And third, the Mine that extracted life stones.
“Among those, the place I least want to go is the Mine. It’s dark, damp, and the livestock keep dying and falling over, so cleaning up the corpses is such a hassle.”
Nana felt anger beyond bewilderment at the Manager who grumbled as if it was just somewhat unpleasant like a rainy day.
Ishanka noticed this and silently began physical dialogue. Of course, there was no need to listen to the other party’s story.
And this time, she stripped off even his underwear completely. The naked Manager screamed in agony, but Nana couldn’t care less about that.
“Let’s attack tomorrow right away.”
“Do you have a plan?”
“No? I’m just going to smash through and go in.”
“….”
“After hearing that guy’s story, the managers are just thugs and the farm isn’t systematically operated either, it’s just a complete mess. In times like this, a frontal assault is the best. Just charge right in.”
“Still, that place will probably be larger in scale than expected. Going in recklessly….”
“Actually, it’s not really reckless. God is providing some support.”
Along with those words, a ding! sound rang out and a system window appeared before her eyes.

Tacky fonts and text arrangements that were impossible to know where to start criticizing spread out hopelessly.
…Wow, how cheap. It would be hard to make it this way on purpose.
But unlike its flyer advertisement-like appearance, the shop interior was lined with far more diverse items than last time.
Nana first closed the shop window and walked toward the Administrator-like Figure who was pacing around in the distance.
“Since we’re already out, let’s shake down a few more before we go.”
Cross-verification was a very important procedure. It absolutely wasn’t because she got angry just looking at those people’s faces.
* * *
As soon as she set foot in the clubhouse, Nana immediately dropped a bombshell.
“We’re going to destroy the farm tomorrow.”
Whether the group made dumbfounded expressions at the sudden unilateral announcement or not, she didn’t care.
“Then I have important preparations to make, so I’ll go in first!”
Nana didn’t even listen for an answer and hurriedly dashed to her room. As soon as she closed the door, she threw her body onto the bed with a plop. The soft mattress bounced.
Actually, there was a real reason why she had entered her room as if fleeing like this.
It was to flex with the item shop!
When she mentally called up the item shop, a familiar system popup window sparkled and spread out before her eyes.
Good. Shall I try throwing some money around?

The item shop that opened after a long time had become incomparably more vicious in pricing compared to when treating Sam.
Just how many times did they mark it up?
It wasn’t an unmanageable amount.
Even at this very moment, the diligent farmhands… no, zombies of Farm Branch 1 were selling harvested crops, filling her wallet in real-time.
On top of that, she had plenty of emergency funds saved up from clearing quests, so buying dozens of items wouldn’t be too burdensome.
It was just annoying that the inflation was blatantly running wild.
Though she grumbled with her mouth, her hands were honest. Except for the price tags, they were all useful items, so Nana mercilessly swept items into her shopping cart.
【 Would you like to proceed with payment? (Y/N) 】
Nana quickly skimmed through the scroll and pressed the payment button without hesitation.
Preparations were complete.
Next was the real thing.
