I also received a gift that wasn’t a gift from Cheonma.

I also looted all the snacks from the unmanned guild.

So I figured there wouldn’t be any more hassle.

But there is no way the Academy will be free of troubles.

Because this is a crazy place with no human babies.

And then, out of nowhere, a bothersome thing would come to me.

It’s like a mosquito that came in without me knowing and irritated my ear.

“Have you eaten everything?”

“…So why are you suddenly buying me something like this?”

“I have a favor to ask of you all.”

A quiet weekend.

Suddenly, Hyeji, Jeong Ayeon, and Elsia all gathered at the restaurant early in the morning.

The one who called us together was none other than the president’s secretary, the lizard Suin.

As soon as we were told to order as much food as we wanted, we went about like unbridled calves, ordering the entire restaurant menu from start to finish.

When we were almost done eating, the lizard man opened his mouth.

“Would you like to see this photo?”

The lizard man said this and handed us a photo.

What you see in the photo is something gruesome.

A chin folded several times. A face shiny with oil.

Hair stuck to the scalp due to oil.

Skin more seriously damaged than the surface of the moon.

If you really want to be specific, there was a pig in the photo that looked like a person.

“Shinwoo, have you ever seen an animal like this? It’s my first time seeing one.”

“This is my first time seeing a creature like this. Is it a new type of monster?”

“Isn’t it a subspecies rather than a new monster?”

“Honey! I’ll order that food again! Honey, do you need anything?”

Elsia asks me for an answer.

After gesturing to Elsia to wait a moment, I looked at the lizard man and spoke seriously.

Because I was quite worried.

The lizard’s money, that is.

“If Elsia decides to eat it, she won’t be able to afford it with her own money.”

“I knew it, so I swiped the president’s card.”

Then there’s no need to worry.

He immediately gave orders to Elsia.

“Elsia! Order some more meat dishes!”

“Then we’ll order as much as you ordered us to!”

“I would also like to order just one more bowl of rice.”

“Hey, you punk! I want beef!”

“…….I didn’t mean to say to do it indefinitely.”

“I’d like beef too.”

The lizard man’s eyes began to flutter and tremble slowly.

Meanwhile, Elsia’s escort elf sneaks in to satisfy her selfish desires.

As everyone started eating again, Peace, who had failed to transfer, spoke to me.

[……Is that the amount the heroine can eat? If she keeps doing that, she’ll have to go to the bathroom-]

‘It’s dangerous!’

Suddenly, a butterfly that Elsia had created with her magic quickly flew past her left temple.

A thin stream of blood began to flow down the side of my face, perhaps lightly brushing my temple.

“……Why me all of a sudden?”

“Oh my! Strangely enough, I feel like I should fly now!”

“Kamp, you too? Sometimes I feel like I should point a gun at Shinwoo too.”

“Don’t just hit me when you feel something, you crazy bitches.”

[……I’m sorry, I didn’t know you would do that all of a sudden.]

‘The more I think about it, these kids are going beyond the normal range.’

Elsia was very talented, with her left hand outstretched to fling a butterfly, while her right hand continued to pick up food.

The more I looked at it, the more I thought it was a really big appetite.

Perhaps thinking that this couldn’t go on, the lizard man spoke first.

“I hope you can find what’s in the picture.”

“If you’re looking for a monster, wouldn’t it be better to ask the professor for help rather than us?”

We’re more of a monster slaughterer than a monster searcher.

But the lizard man’s words that followed.

“I’m sorry, but you’re a person, not a monster.”

“……Huh?”

It was so shocking.

We questioned the unbelievable statement.

Even Elsia stopped picking up the food.

Feeling everyone’s attention focused on him, the lizard man opened his mouth once again.

And what came out of his mouth was even more shocking than what I had just heard.

“I would like you to help me find the president’s son.”

We never made any promises, but when we heard those words, our mouths fell open.

Because of that, food started falling out of our mouths.

The appearance was similar to the reaction shown upon hearing the words, ‘Yena… Seonjeong is my daughter.’

In the midst of all this, Elsia alone came to her senses and began to eat the falling food with her hands.

‘That’s the real beast, pink single-celled bird-.’

[It’s dangerous!]

Another butterfly flew by.

This time, the right temple.

“……Why this time again.”

“Two strikes.”

Elsia was smiling brightly, but her eyes weren’t smiling at all.

At that moment, the lizard man asked me.

“Do you have any idea where the president’s son went?”

I looked at the photo and thought carefully.

Looking at it again, it certainly looks like a face with many similarities to the president.

Two eye holes. Two breathing holes. And a snout.

A face that is as swollen as it can be, as if yeast had been added.

And the broth flowing down next to it.

After some thought, I came to a conclusion.

“Could it be that he got caught in the pig slaughter machine?”

“Shinwoo, it may have already been processed and put into the ham making machine.”

“When I saw it, it had no commercial value.”

“Sir! This can’t even be made with bacon!”

“……I’ll take that to mean you’ve been involved in a bad incident.”

It was a lizard-like creature that tried to interpret it in the best possible way.

This time I raised another possibility.

“Have you checked out the mountain villa?”

“……Yes, it wasn’t ‘there’ either.”

The lizard man, who recognized my gaze, took a moment to speak cautiously.

I made sure I didn’t get stabbed by a monster.

This time, I present the most classic approach.

“Have you checked the CCTV or the people with surveillance capabilities on campus?”

“…Amazing.”

“Why?”

“I can’t believe such normal words came out of student Shinwoo’s mouth.”

“Fuck, seriously.”

After asking for the lizard’s understanding, he left for a moment.

Unfortunately, the president’s card was left behind.

We were starting another dinner party.

***

“When I checked, the last location I found was going towards the mountain behind the restaurant.”

“I guess you didn’t check the inside of the mountain?”

“It seems that it is a bit difficult to check the inside of the mountain.”

The lizard man who returned saw the remains of the food we had destroyed and said with his eyes trembling even more than before.

But when I heard that the person I had to find was the president’s son, my motivation dropped significantly.

“Do we really need to do it? There won’t be many people who will do it.”

“In the case of student Shinwoo, I am leaving it to you because he has shown outstanding performance so far.”

“Really?”

“……Actually, I don’t know anyone.”

He was a lizard man who confessed to having extremely narrow human relationships.

At that moment, the sharp incoming criticism of Peace.

[Aren’t you in a position to talk about others?]

‘Do you ignore our beast friends? They are your friends too.’

[So if I ask you to list your five closest friends, can you list them all?]

‘It’s chewy.’

“I will pay you sufficient compensation.”

“No matter how much money I give, I don’t have a good relationship with the president, so it’s kind of like that.”

“It’s cash.”

“Let’s go!”

Cash is a different story.

In this situation, even the bank account is frozen.

Each and every bit of cash is very valuable.

He quickly changed his position and tried to lead everyone towards the mountain.

But before we set off, the lizard man called out to us briefly.

“Are you trying to make me do extra work?”

“No, that’s not it. I just wanted to point out something to watch out for.”

“What is it?”

The lizard man suddenly took out a note from inside his bosom.

A lizard man who suddenly started to look intelligent with just one note.

“There have been some strange movements in the Academy recently.”

“Why? Who else got pregnant? You jealous kids.”

“Yes….No! That’s not it!”

The lizard man, embarrassed, put on his glasses, an item that made him look smart, and lifted them slightly.

Thanks to this, the lizardman’s intelligence seems to have doubled.

“Recently, there has been a large number of students who are in a coma or are not conscious.”

“It looks like you sucked a lot.”

“……Please don’t jump to conclusions because this kind of situation can happen to anyone, regardless of gender.”

“It looks like it sucked a lot regardless of gender.”

“That’s not it! You little shit!!”

The lizard-man, unable to bear it any longer, spat out harsh words.

Then he coughs and regains his original tension.

“Anyway, this means to be careful just in case.”

“First of all, I’ll take note of it. Thank you.”

Again we started walking towards the mountain.

Meanwhile, the escort elf, contrary to its name, disappeared as soon as we moved.

‘He really came here just to eat.’

[After Elsia, I ate the most.]

Before leaving the restaurant, I left my cell phone behind and came back to get it.

As I was about to grab my phone and go out, this is what I saw.

It was a lizard-like creature holding a receipt and shaking its hands.

***

While climbing up the mountain.

I took a short break and asked Peace.

‘But you said you were going to change jobs. I guess you failed.’

[…..These days, it seems like each constellation must have at least one or two outstanding abilities.]

‘Do you know how hard it is to just put one line in your resume?’

[Be careful. He says he’ll change jobs as soon as he gets the chance.]

There’s no such thing, Peace.

The career change you dream of.

The comfortable constellation role you’ve been longing for.

That will never happen.

[You fucking kid.]

‘As long as it’s not me!’

At that moment, Hyeji asked me a question.

“But Shinwoo, how are you going to find it in this vast mountain?”

“I agree, Confucius. How hard it is to find a single person in the mountains.”

“This is when you use subcontracting.”

I cleared my throat for a moment and shouted so loudly that the mountains shook.

So that everyone can hear.

“Assembly guys!!! Gather!!!”

As soon as I finished speaking, they began to rustle around here and there, appearing one by one.

Yes, that’s right.

It’s time for our beast friends to get active.
