Evil Avalon

Chapter 76-Pig's Tail Pavilion

(TL:By Rafael)

When I returned to the meeting place on the second floor, I found Amama waving at me, saying, 'This way!

I wondered where she had been. Oh, maybe you were doing some secret training or something?

　I thought I came back in a hurry, but it seems I made the lady wait. But she was happy to see me and said she didn't care about that.

"It's almost time to go, but I don't see the ......D class members."

The reason  for the wait of Sera-sama is it D class?

The reason everyone is going together is because everyone agreed to do so. If they don't come, then only those who are present will go.

　The B class is also talking about the fact that the D class has not arrived. But they don't seem to be worried by the way their faces are contorted in frustration.

"Where did they go, leaving our luggage behind?"

"What about our luggage?"

"The men who have come are not mercenaries, but all officers in the service of their father. I don't like the idea of letting them carry our luggage."

　It seems that they are proud of the fact that they are nobles and do not carry baggage, and up to this point, they have had their baggage carried by D class. The D class abandoned that mission on their own. They are angry and D class will be punished severely later. I am having a bad feeling about this.

　The baggage handler disappeared and was replaced by me.

" We entrust you with our luggage. You must fulfill your duty at the risk of your life."

　A nobleman, who looked like a court nobleman, was saying something like this with a big air of arrogance. He pointed to five backpacks. They must have weighed between 20 and 30 kilograms. The full-plate mail, which was silently listening to the conversation next to him, intervened in his irrational argument.

"You should at least carry your own luggage,"  Besides, you have helpers behind you, so there's no need to make Narumi carry it for you."

"Don't compare them to your black-robed men. They are not my servants, but my future vassals."

"Even Black Butler is a vassal of the Amama family."

　Amama-san puts her hands on his metal hips and says with a pout. If you turn around and look behind you, you will see a number of strange groups of people a short distance away. There is  Sera's miko costume group that looks like a saint agency, and  Amama's black butler group. The equipment and atmosphere are so different from those of the adventurers on the second floor that they stand out.

　A pair of adventurers, a man and a woman, who had just come to hunt goblins, were being stared at by the heavy knights, and they looked frightened. I wish they would pull themselves together a little more, though, since it was a school exam.

　Anyway, I should at least carry their baggage since they would probably make it difficult for me if I refused. This much weight is no trouble for me right now.

"I'm fine. I can at least carry your luggage."

"If you say so, that's fine. But if it's too much trouble, you can just toss it out there. Just drop it."

　Amama said while making a motion to toss the baggage carelessly. I appreciate her concern, but I don't want to do that because it would cause a big war with the helpers who are waiting behind me.

　(TL: Amama-san is the new favourite)

　*...*...*...*...

　

　--4th floor entrance plaza. In front of "Pig's Tail Pavilion."

"We have made reservations for everyone, so let's have lunch here."

　We continued walking with a few short breaks in between, and arrived at the 4th floor a little after noon. It seemed that  Sera-san had made reservations in advance at the restaurant in the "Pig's Tail Pavilion," and invited us all to have lunch there.

　This lodging facility, built into the ceiling and walls of the dungeon, is eight stories high. The observation area and restaurant at the top is a special place for the upper class and requires an ID card to enter. However, we were given a free pass and the waiter took us in.

　Once inside, we found a pure white marble interior with a huge sparkling chandelier. In the center of the room was a table covered with tablecloths, and expensive-looking tableware was neatly arranged. If we ate at a place like this, a week's worth of the Narumi family's food budget would fly away with just one meal, but this time it was all on Sera-san's tab.

"Please have a seat."

"Hm, then I'll take it without reservation."

　As Suo sat down on a suitable chair, the people around him began to sit down one after another and relax. Sera-san seems to be interested in Monobe-san of the C class and talks to her frequently, while Monobe-san is a little puzzled but smiles in response.It's so picturesque when two pretty girls are talking to each other, isn't it? I'll be over there--

"Shall we eat together then?"

　Amama-san pulls me by the hand and takes me to the seat across from her. By the way, I wondered how she will eat while wearing the helm, and was told not to worry as the bottom of its jaws seem to open up and she eats from there.

　After everyone is seated, light music starts playing and a well-dressed waiter pours fragrant tea for us. For the average person, who can enjoy the luxury of a family restaurant in the neighborhood, this is a rather uncomfortable place to be.

The first place for reaching the designated points seems to have been decided. It looks like our class got ......1.

　While the food was being served, Amama, who was gathering information on her terminal, informed us of the A class trend. I also looked at the E class bulletin board and saw that we were in 5th place, in other words, the last place.

　The "designated point arrival" is an event in which destinations are determined at random and contestants compete for the order in which they arrive. Since today was only the first day, the destination was set on the first or second floor, and the leader was Mr. Akagi. The leader was Mr. Akagi, and yet he was starting at the bottom of the list, so it seemed to be a very tough race.

　On the other hand, Class A is in first place in other events as well, despite the fact that the main players are unevenly distributed in terms of depth of reach. This may be due to the difference in depth.

　However, the starting point of this event is also free, so there is a strong element of luck involved. Also, the destinations are limited to shallow levels for the next few days, so it is difficult to see the difference in level, and there is a good chance for the E class as well. I hope they will not be discouraged and will continue to do their best in the second round.

There are many other reasons for this, including luck and the thickness of the tiers.

　She said she couldn't tell us those reasons because they are confidential, but we can guess some of them. For example, . Sera-san has a cheat skill called "Angel's Blessing" that greatly increases the buff effect and buff effect time, and it is possible that she had applied a movement speed increase to all A-class members before entering the dungeon.

　The other reason is the existence of the "saints' institution. The priestesses belonging to this organization are all specialists with the same level of support capabilities as a strategy clan. They must be stationed here and there to support Ms. Sera's class, the successor to the [saint].

　However, it is as if parents are participating in their children's field day with a clique. This is one of the few opportunities for them to test their abilities, and I hope that they will not be so lenient in lending a hand.

"The "designated monster defeat" was to take down 20 goblins or a goblin chief. This level of effort should make no difference, right?"

　As the name implies, the "designated monster defeat" is an event in which players must defeat designated monsters, and the elite team led by Mashima-kun from Class E is expected to participate. The first designated monster, a goblin, was defeated with ease by all classes.

(Leading the D class is ...... Mazushima.)

　According to the bulletin board, it seems that it is that Kariya who leads the D class in defeating the designated monsters. Is it a coincidence, or is it that our strategy has been leaked and they are aiming to crush the elite of the E class? Either way, it is inevitable that the battle will be a tough one.

"I have no information about the total amount of magic stones yet. It seems that our class will advance to about the 10th floor without defeating most of the others."

The total amount of magic stones in Class A is apparently not concerned with the magic stones of monsters on the lower floors, and the strategy seems to be to aim directly for the 10th floor. and the others were probably hunting on the third floor to get used to the new environment and to earn magic stones for lunch. So far, there have been no reports of trouble, and everything seems to be going well.

　While all of my classmates are working hard to compete with the top students and collecting magic stones for their living expenses, I'm having lunch at a fancy restaurant. I have to be careful not to let my classmates know when I leave the restaurant.

　Soon after, a piece of meat about the size of a baby pig is brought to me. It looked like chicken, but it was much bigger than that.

"It's the meat of Mamou. How did you get it?"

"Mamou? The meat of that man-eating lizard?"　

　I think that's the name of the giant man-eating lizard that pops up in the marshy area after the 21st floor. I heard that it is in high demand among the rich and is traded at prices starting at tens of thousands of yen per 100 grams. How about the fact that it is a man-eating monster and is being eaten by man?

(TL: It was a pun)

　The waiter cut it into pieces on the spot, and I tried it right away - it was indeed delicious. The meat was moderately tender and the fat was of high quality. But it still tasted like chicken.

"I was told that STR has the effect of increasing stamina. It seems that we will be going up to the 10th floor later today, so you should eat a lot, too."

"No, I'm planning to retire after about the 8th floor."

'Well, then, as a thank you for telling me about your diet, I'll take you there.'

　Amama ate the lizard steak as if she was inhaling it right in front of me and even asked for a third helping. I wonder how effective any diet would be if you eat that much.

"By the way, how many floors do you plan to go up?"

"I'm planning to go up to the 15th floor, but it depends on the other classes. But maybe they will go up to the 20th floor, since the B class seems to have a lot of companions with them."

　The average level of the A class depth group is between 15 and 18. Considering that, going up to the 20th floor seems like a risky proposition, but with excellent helpers behind them, it's not impossible, he said.

　But if they went that far, they would have to turn back at the 8th floor to get the participation prize. Going up to the 10th floor by myself would also be a bit of a corner, so it would be better to have  Tenma-san take me there.

"Then it's decided. Which dessert should I have?"

　Amama-san is still looking at the large menu list and is absorbed in choosing the desserts for after dinner.

　The large window behind me overlooks the entrance plaza, and I can see several groups of students who seem to be in the same grade. Everyone of them is living frugally for the week ahead, but this space seems otherworldly.

　As I gazed down at the plaza from the window, I thought I saw  her,  her who was not supposed to be here.

TL Note- So we conducted a poll on our discord sever if they like Kaworu or not and there was 7:3  result of them not liking Kaworu.  What are your thoughts on the poll and Kaworu as a character, Please comment your thoughts.
