He helps prepare food in the kitchen of a bar that is not open.
That said, it's just simple things like keeping an eye on the pot or cutting ingredients.
Even if I tried my best, I don't think I could ever keep up with Nimi's cooking.
"Reid-san, a student has arrived."
"Thanks, I'll be off."
I take turns watching the pot with Nimi-san, who came to call me, and go outside.
Miss Erika is standing with the butler, wearing a distinctive white shirt and skirt.
"Miss Erika, you accept advice immediately, I'm proud of you as an instructor."
"...I'm not sure if that's the right thing to say first, but good morning."
"good morning"
Miss Erika was wearing a pale pink cardigan.
Well, it's better than yesterday, but... why does it look sexy?
Well, it's fine as long as it hides the view of others.
I started walking with Miss Erika, who looked shocked.
"...Wait a minute, why did you join the adventurer's guild?...Yes? Register?"私I
"No, why is the registered name only Erika? Personal? Wait..."
"The bank? Why the bank? My account?"
"The account is with the Deus family... eh, Erica personally? No, wait a minute..."
"I don't understand!"
"I just opened a bank account for Miss Erica."
"That's not the point, I'm talking about the fact that I was able to open an account as an individual! And I don't even understand why I was forced to open one!"
Miss Erika stood next to me with her arms crossed and her voice raised.
...Is it standard to have your chest resting on your arms?
I gave a wry smile and explained.
"First, how to get a bank account is surprisingly easy. All you need is some form of identification."
For nobles, it would be family crests and documents, and for commoners, it would be state documents.
Of course, adventurers are treated as commoners, so they need national documents.
Documents that have earned the trust of the country are more evidential and trustworthy than anything else.
That is, if the bank were run by the government.
In fact, banks are not run by the government.
Because of its large scale, it is easy to think so, but in fact it is not.
Simply put, they are a large money lender. However, they cannot do anything strange because they also make use of the nobility.
While some things are done well for this purpose, others are not.
I explained this to Miss Erika and asked her a question.
"Where does the money in the account go if the person who deposited it dies?"
"It's documented in the documents, and will be passed on to your family as an inheritance."
"So what happens if the adventurer you created with your guild card dies?"
"...I see. I see, it's beneficial for the bank."
She exhales lightly as if she understands, then looks at me in amazement.
That's right, if you make it with a guild card, there is no document that lists the person who will inherit it.
Therefore, once the person's death is confirmed, the money deposited becomes the bank's property.
"Have you noticed? Miss Erica now has a personal account."
Miss Erika's expression changed from one of shock to one of surprise.
Then she turns her face away and mutters.
"How nosy..."
"Because I'm an instructor."
"...Even if I heard what you just said, I'll just ignore it."
I smile wryly at Miss Erika's words.
Sorry, I don't like insensitive people. And don't expect me to be so considerate in the first place.
I'll pick up anything I can.
Miss Erika sighed and spoke.
"More importantly, why are you walking down Second Avenue?"
"There's a place I want to stop by over here."
This royal capital has 12 main streets centered around the castle.
The numbers on the clock are the street numbers, and they look like the hands of a clock.
And the meaning of Miss Erika's question is probably because the Dwaf Company building is on this street.
But the next day the story started.
I wanted to come to 2nd Street.
No, I had to come.
For the sake of the students, no, for my own sake... and if I may say so myself, for the sake of everyone who plays this game.
"Gyahaha"
As I passed by the Dwaf Trading Company, I heard a vulgar voice coming from the back alley.
I make eye contact with Miss Erika's butler.
She really is a capable person, and as if she understood what I wanted to say, Miss Erika stepped back.
I just walk normally and enter the back alley.
In a dimly lit corridor, there was a young man and a woman who was crying in frustration as she opened her clothes and exposed her breasts.
The man seemed to notice me and called out to me.
"What? Hey, that's great for the audience...ugh!?"
"Don't talk."
I didn't want to hear his voice for even a minute, so I quickly approached him and punched him in the stomach.
...This guy, the idiot son of the Dwaf Trading Company...was it you?
A purple crystal that I had often seen during the war rolled to my feet, probably belonging to my foolish son.
Out of disgust and irritation, I stomp it with my foot.
He takes off his jacket and places it over the woman's chest, who has probably regained her freedom.
"Ah, thank you... thank you."
"I was just doing the obvious thing, don't worry about it."
"Instructor Reid, are you okay?... Instructor Felica?!"
Miss Erika comes closer and checks on Felica.
She ran past me and put on her cardigan.
Looking at Felica's clothes, they were in tatters.
There are also some light scratches, like a slash, but they're not deep.
I guess it's for cutting clothes.
A dignified woman with shiny purple hair cut in a bob.
An instructor from a grade higher than the one I'm in charge of.
Roy's older sister, a woman with the rare Calamity swordsmanship skill.
Above all, she is the first woman to die in the game.
In the game, she is found raped two days later and hanged three days later.
Although no such direct statements were made, the words "he was found in a dilapidated state" and "he had apparently hanged himself in his room" said it all.
The research team and players have tried many times to save this brave girl... but all attempts have been unsuccessful.
The final answer the research team came up with was the time when there is a talk event at school on a holiday.
I think she was abducted or kidnapped at that time.
Then, based on what the NPCs said, I figured out the location: No. 2 Street, a side street.
Between 12 and 13 o'clock.
Yes, now is the time.
I check the clock and see that it's 12:30.
I clench my fists as I watch Miss Erica comforting Felica while giving instructions to the butler.
Yes, I did it.
They weren't wrong, everyone on the analysis team was right!
Players, you helped!
I know it's selfish, but I've decided to fulfill everyone's wishes!!
