Chapter 292
From the thirty-seventh floor, the succeeding floors were icebound cold floors.
The enemies had become considerably high-ranked, so we couldnt advance easily as before and were only able to advance up to the forty-fourth floor in the two days of the weekend.
As for the level of the three of us, mine went up from 5052, Elenas from 4246, Hildas from 3542.
Aya was frustrated as her level has been completely surpassed by Hilda.
She was frustrated.
And, the best news was Hildas Fire magic reached level 5.
Hilda acquires a new magic that causes a huge explosion,
I had her use it once,
a group of strong enemies was annihilated by the explosion
and with a *zun*, the shockwave had affected us, too.
We named that magic,Hildas zun.
And, on the way back, I dropped by at Masamunes place and left the White Belt Sword.
It seems that the further strengthening of the White Belt Sword can be completed in three days.
As usual, hes a fast worker.

On Monday of the next week,
When I went to Nancys place in the morning,
Megumi-chan was there.
Megumi-chan, what happened for you to be here in the morning?
What about your school?
Maruyama, too, is quite stupid, huh.
High schools are already in summer vacation.
She has a sharp tongue as ever.
Well, its cute when compared to Ayas.
Uuuuuuuu!!
When we were having such a conversation, from the inner part of the room,
a loud siren sound could be heard.
Maruyama, what is it?
Ahh, its alright.
I smiled pleasantly to calm Megumi-chan down
and slowly went inside the inner part of the room.
-
Hiyama Ai-san, what are you doing?
It was the panickedHiyama Aiwho was in the inner part of the room.
Well, since I was looking at the beacons video,
I knew what she was doing in this room, though.
Seiji, what is it?
Nancy came rushing in, too.
N-Nancy-san, Im not doing anything
I grabbed the right hand of the tremblingHiyama Ai
and took away the USB memory she was holding.
Ai-san, what is this USB memory?
T-, That is
Err
Since theres a useful app, I was installing it in this PC
Its no good, Ai-san.
Since this PC contains the costumers information,
by the effect of the Personal Information Protection Law, its prohibited to insert a USB memory and also to install an application.
Havent you heard it from Nancy?
I-, Im sorry,
I forgot
As I suspected, its certainly clear that Ai-san is intending to steal various information.
What will you do, Nancy?
Well, anyone can make a mistake,
be careful from now on.
Y-, Yes
She forgives her, huh!
Well, shes playing innocent withI didnt mean any harm, so it cant be helped for now.
That reminds me, what about the other people who took the interview?
It has been decided that all four people are going to work,
but since it turned out that Hiyama Ai are the only one who can work on the same day, I have her come earlier.
I see~.
SuchAi-sanseems to be sorry.
But her eyes are full of anger.
Ah, scary, scary.
-
Im sorry for what happened just now.
Here you go, its a tea.
Ai-sanserved tea just to redeem herself.
Ah, since Im not thirsty,
can you drink it instead, Ai-san.
Eh!?B-, But
Since its a waste of tea which you served with much effort,
please drink it in one go without reserve.
W-, Well then
I-, Itadakimasu
ough.
Ough?
N-, Nothing, itsdelicious.
Aaah, she drank a tea containing a dust-cloth extract.
Engacho~.[1]
Well, because I was looking at the beacon,
I saw that she squeezed the juice of the dust cloth into the tea.
Excuse me for a moment.
Ai-sanleft while carrying the half-drunk teacup.
Uge!
I absolutely wont forgive that fellow!!
While vomiting in the restroom,
Ai-sanpoured the tea with dust-cloth extract into the washbasin
and revealed her anger towards me.
I wonder if Im somewhat cruel?
But, it cant be helped since its the other party who set it all up, right?
In the end, that day,
I stayed at Nancys place all day long in order to look out forAi-san.
***
Pardon me for leaving first.
Ai-sanwent home, so I can finally go home, too.
Although you said that, youre going to perform an ambush outside, isnt that right,Ai-san?
Megumi-chan went home earlier, who are you aiming for?
It was me.
When I left the shop,Ai-sanfollowed me secretly.
Well then, since I have insufficient exercise recently, lets go home while running a marathon~.
I murmured a forced monologue and began to run.
Ai-sanfollowed for a while,
when I gradually picked up speed,
while saying whaa whaa, on the way, her pumps came off and she grazed her knees.
Damn it!! What is that fellow!!?
Ai-sanwent back home in frustration while stomping her foot on the ground.
