Dungeon Stampede 2.0 Evidence

[（Bwoooo…Gwoooooo…）]

Three days later, the Self-Defense Forces finally arrived.

"Finally, they're here…"

"Heh, we've been waiting so long."

From the top of the tower, I look down with Serai-san at the Self-Defense Forces vehicles making their way toward Shark's High School. Hehe, when both of us are up high, we’re at that age where we want to show off our strength.

Two armored vehicles lead the way. They’re armored cars with no visible windows. Behind them follow canvas-covered jeeps and trucks. Oh, there’s a truck towing something too. Could that be a mobile cooking unit like a rice cooker?

"Well, in any case, they arrived faster than I thought."

"From our perspective, yes. But look, from the perspective of the evacuees, it seems they were waiting with their necks stretched like giraffes."

Hmm, as I glance down at Serai-san’s words, I see that the evacuees, noticing the vehicles, are starting to migrate toward the main gate, wondering, 'Could it be the Self-Defense Forces?!'

We exchange smiles while watching this scene. Finally, our job is done.

During this time, we were surprisingly acting as combat instructors for the female students while protecting the school.

(Environment changes people… huh?)

Though brief, I can't help but reflect on our life at the school this way.

The male teachers A and B, who made minor mistakes, probably spent their peaceful days as beloved teachers if things were normal. Well, I tend to view things with suspicion when a young man is teaching at an all-girls school.

Even the food disaster lady probably wouldn’t have eaten the lilies growing at the school.

Ah, speaking of the food disaster lady, she ended up cooking the giant clam strip that was beyond Manane-sensei’s ability. Though there were also rice-cooking volunteers besides Manane-sensei, they were hesitant at the idea of unknown monster meat. When I asked the food disaster lady, who happily ate the giant clam strip like 'Sea urchin, sea urchin!', she agreed to cook it.

As a result, the giant clam strip was cooked like a simmered squid.

I tasted it too, and it was quite delicious. Though we call it 'giant clam strip' for convenience, it’s not the slimy type like regular clam strips but more like a mass of muscle fibers. Well, it’s better to imagine an incredibly long clam muscle. Hence, although it was originally a mussel-like monster, the tentacle part also somewhat resembles a scallop’s adductor muscle.

Well, it’s only a resemblance, and strictly speaking, it’s different, but it was incredibly tasty, even when simmered with just soy sauce and mirin.

"Well, shall we head out soon?"

"Yes. Then… Pixies, assemble! Withdraw! Alright, everyone, let’s go home～～!"

I'm sending out magical signals to the Pixies from the top of the tower. Yes, this is why we were on top of the tower.

When dungeon monsters are cardified and become tamed monsters, the magic power of the summoner from the card is the main feast. Orders and other directions are given by providing magic power.

"""“Pipipipii~~!”"""

Sensing my magic power, the Pixies scattered throughout the school gather, scattering particles of glowing light. It’s such a beautiful and touching sight. This will surely be a good memory for the female students too, right?

.....

"I see, you’re leaving already, aren’t you?"

Before leaving, I went to greet the principal’s office, and the round vice principal responded. The principal, apparently having a weak heart, seems to have collapsed due to the commotion.

"Well, if you could wait a bit longer and speak to the police and fire department, I think you could receive a letter of appreciation?"

"No, that’s quite alright. Please give such things to those who protected the school with heavy machinery."

"Oh, I see…"

I’m not too interested in receiving letters of appreciation. I’m strong-willed, but I don’t crave recognition that much.

Does having one of those help with job prospects? But if someone mentioned that during an interview, a Japanese person with the mindset of 'good deeds shouldn’t be bragged about' might think, 'This person is annoying.'

Oops, I digress.

Besides, the information that 'someone can control monsters' shouldn’t be circulating. While the Self-Defense Forces might know, if it were the general public using such power, it’d be a different story.

Monsters coming out of dungeons are attacking people everywhere.

If there were someone controlling monsters, imagine how it would be perceived. Even though I’m using Pixies, if I saw someone else controlling monsters, I’d be extremely cautious.

So, leaving before the Self-Defense Forces arrive. It’s clear that while a dungeon ability user might be overlooked, a monster summoner wouldn’t be.

"Please don’t mention the Pixies. I only came to greet and make that request."

"Understood. But since it’s been seen by many, it’s hard to completely…"

"Ah, well, we can call it a phenomenon like collective panic. If the teachers stay calm and collected, rumors like 'fairies protected the all-girls school' will soon be dismissed as 'just rumors,' right?"

"Well, but the students took quite a few photos with the fairies…"

Hmm? I see, the downside of an information society shows up here as well.

Well, there’s no helping it. I can’t go around asking people to delete pixie photos now.
