​

​

The next morning. I was saying a quick goodbye to Janey.

​

“Have a nice trip.”

​

“… Yes.”

​

I said, looking at Janey with a troubled face as she hugged my waist and wouldn’t let go.

​

-joy… Looks like you had a lot of fun?

​

Maria looked a little sulky as she was watching the empty forest while I was having sex with Janey.

​

She had never really complained about the orders I gave her, but now she was muttering as if she was dissatisfied.

​

‘Privacy must be respected. I don’t mind, but Janey doesn’t.’

​

-I know.

​

Unlike me, who doesn’t mind exposing my private life to Maria, Janey is in a position where I have to take care of her.

​

Maria seemed to know this as well, and after grumbling briefly, she seemed to agree.

​

After holding on to Janey for a while, I grabbed her shoulder and asked her to do it.

​

“The avatar will remain and protect you even while I am gone. If you need anything, just ask Android. Don’t wander too far.”

​

“I understand. I’ll be waiting near the car.”

​

“Okay.”

​

Sukㅡ Sukㅡ

​

I patted Janey’s head a few times as she made strange noises.

​

Aside from the avatar, I planned to leave behind Awaken members armed with battle suits and various weapons for her.

​

Then, even if a sizable force attacks, we will be able to survive for less than a day.

​

“I’ll be back.”

​

I waved at Janey, called up the menu, and returned to reality.

​

​

​

[I leave the world of ‘Academy of Ruin.’]

​

[It is separated from the avatar.]

​

[Settlement of travel compensation.]

​

[This is a world where the travel provided by the Dimensional Travel Express Ticket has ended.]

​

[The kill of one unique mutant has been confirmed.]

​

[Special reward: 1000 mileage]

​

​

​

My peripheral vision became blurry, then became clear again, and I could see the view of my house in reality.

​

The android I left here looked neatly cleaned, as if it had all been cleaned up while I was in the ruined world.

​

I nodded as I saw the not-so-much luggage being placed in its proper place.

​

And when I checked the notification, I saw something unexpected.

​

‘There is a reward for catching a giant mutant.’

​

Other than going back to Fallen Kingdom and meeting Janey again, I didn’t do anything else, so other than that, there was nothing else that could be called a harvest.

​

The common mutants, which were widespread, dealt with quite a number of them and did not give them even a single mileage.

​

‘If this is the case, the cost-effectiveness of earning mileage is not good.’

​

There were not that many special mutants. It was unprofitable to track them down and kill them one by one to earn 1,000 mileage.

​

As I said, the more time you spend there, the more time in reality passes.

​

I decided to be satisfied with having figured out a way to earn mileage in a world where I saw the ending.

​

“Maria.”

​

-yes.

​

“You know I’m looking for a way to bring Janey back, right?”

​

-sure. Because I heard it too.

​

“Would you please find a work where I can learn such skills? I’m thinking of looking into it too, but I think Maria would be good at this sort of thing.”

​

-Hehe… It’s been a while since I’ve been active!

​

Maria smiled with joy, as if she had been waiting for a moment when she could stand out.

​

But despite the laughter, finding candidates for travel destinations was not that easy.

​

Maria floated a list of hundreds of works in my field of vision and flicked through them to select candidates.

​

-[I became a foreign media contractor], how about here? They say there is a book that contains the contract law that summons beings from another world.

​

“Umm… The background here is so gloomy. And if you touch that book incorrectly, it feels like tentacles will sprout from your body.”

​

-[Lionheart Chronicles], what about here? It’s a traditional fantasy, but the way the magic is described here makes me think it’s like summoning beasts.

​

“I think it will be difficult to learn skills there. And maybe because it’s a traditional fantasy, the expressions about magic are too vague.”

​

-Aren’t the conditions too strict?

​

“Hmm… Is that enough?”

​

-Profit… !

​

Magic words that make even artificial intelligence angry. I stopped playing with Maria and thought deeply.

​

You may say that you can just go into traditional fantasy and learn magic, but… Just looking at the magic in those works, it wasn’t something I could learn quickly even if I tried.

​

It was easy to get into martial arts, but as it remained at the peak level for several months, it was probably not difficult to register magic in the souvenir list, but it was impossible to estimate the time it would take to summon Janey to another world.

​

Of course, my abilities have increased a lot now, and I may be more talented at magic than I thought, but in any case, learning the skills step by step from the beginning was put on hold.

​

“I don’t know if there is no specific method, but things that take too much time are classified as second priority.”

​

-Then, excluding most works that require training…

​

The real Maria has pushed most of the works on the list into a corner.

​

Finding a candidate was not as easy as expected.

​

But even for a moment.

​

Before I could even look at one piece, Maria called me again.

​

-Master, how about this?

​

Maria floated a work of art into my field of vision.

​

“[A Transitioner’s Guide to Climbing the Tower]? This isn’t the kind of work we’re looking for.”

​

The work Maria brought was what is commonly called a tower climbing piece.

​

A genre in which an unspecified number of people are transferred to a different world called a tower, and roll and roll to conquer the top. The main content was to pass various types of tests designed for each layer, usually organized by an unknown higher civilization or god-like being.

​

I know that there are cases where a tower suddenly appears in a location in physical reality, and there are also cases where another world with separate classes is called a tower…

​

After reading the introduction roughly, it seemed like the work Maria brought was the latter case.

​

-no. This is what I said.

​

Maria highlighted some sentences in the work and displayed them in front of my eyes. I read that part out loud.

​

“’… In contrast, the job called Summoner was close to trash. Being able to summon contracted creatures by imprinting them into their souls was clearly what differentiated them from other jobs… ‘. Wait, imprinted on your soul?”

​

-yes! how is it? This way, you can bring her back, right?

​

“likelihood… Yes!”

​

It imprints its existence directly into the soul. I don’t know how this was accomplished, but it was definitely a possibility.

​

This travel destination called ‘The Transitioner’s Guide to Climbing Towers’ has a status window system that is separate from my ticket. And corresponding job and skill systems also exist.

​

So, if you can change your job to a Summoner, you can immediately sign a contract with Janey without having to train separately.

​

Based on my experience so far, it was almost certain that I would be able to register it as a souvenir, whether it was a skill or a summoner job.

​

However, there was a catch.

​

-Master, but I don’t think this job as a Summoner is very good…

​

“Well, definitely… If it is directly described as trash… ”

​

This means that it received the official setting of being trash in the original work.

​

We were curious as to why the Summoner was treated like that, so we looked into the content in more detail. And I soon found out why.

​

-It’s definitely ambiguous.

​

“Hmm… ”

​

The Summoner’s combat power depends on which summoner he makes a contract with. However, starting with this summons contract was not easy.

​

Basically, a summoning contract is made with a beast or monster, but of course there is no way that they will readily agree to the contract, so preliminary work such as subduing them with force or providing food is necessary.

​

The problem was that it was not easy for a Summoner without a summon. Only with the help of another person could he obtain a summon that could fight, but the fact is that the combat power of a summon that could be subdued alive like that was at an ambiguous level.

​

It is said that even if a summon that is too strong is suppressed, a contract is impossible if the Summoner’s soul cannot accept it.

In short, it was a job close to that of a squire.

​

“… It doesn’t matter though. The goal was to get Janey out anyway, and I wasn’t looking for a way to become stronger.”

​

-That’s right.

​

“And what if the job is no good? Even without that, I’m strong.”

​

-that’s right!

​

Rather, after reading about Summoner’s shortcomings, I was worried about something else.

​

‘Can my soul bear Janey?’

At first glance, it seemed unprecedented to use a human as a minor enemy. Maybe it’s because they can’t accept the soul of a fellow human being.

​

Honestly, I don’t know how much capacity my soul has. I’m not even sure if the abilities I raised also affect the soul.

​

‘But in the current situation, this is the best option.’

​

If my soul became narrower than I thought and couldn’t accommodate even one Janey, then all I had to do was find another travel destination and try a different method.

​

I decided to go to the destination without wasting time.
