*****In Zhang Youji’s room on the 3rd floor of Shuxinting Hotel in the civilian area of Lianhai City****
The time came around 6:20 in the morning that day. With the departure of the Creation Goddess, Zhang Youji woke up from his dream. He opened his eyes and got out of the bed that became somewhat familiar. He slowly rubbed his eyes and felt the slight pain. When he sat up with a headache, he found that the originally neat room was now in a mess.
There were all kinds of used and unwashed tableware scattered all over the floor, as well as several hills like various documents. It was almost full of piles in the whole room, even on the bed where Zhang Youji was. , there are some things piled up, and the only thing that has not changed is the lazy little girl who is still next to Zhang Youji, completely tucked into the bed, not caring about anything, and has been sleeping.
However, Mo Ni, who usually always waits in this room and takes care of her indifferent young daughter, is nowhere to be seen at this moment. On the contrary, she has not been seen for a while. She is exuding an unusually severe sense of fatigue and is in some kind of burning state. Deguna, who was completely exhausted and in a snow-white state, was convulsing for some unknown reason from time to time, and collapsed miserably on the ground, half buried alive by a pile of documents and a mountain of scattered tableware.
[What’s going on in this sense, it’s a hellish scene? ······, Hmm, it seems that there is no one who can answer. Alas, let’s find a place to stay first and go out and ask? 】
He just sat up from the bed and couldn't help but cover his head and muttered to himself because he saw the chaotic situation in the room and Deguna who was wearing a purple three-point swimsuit lying on the ground. After thinking about it for a while, , wanted to find the answer to the tragic situation in the house, and when he sighed and started to take action, Zhang Youji suddenly noticed that he was holding something in his right hand.
【···Is this the light bulb given by that good-for-nothing goddess? Well, if you look at it carefully again, it is indeed very beautiful, and it has a very warm feeling. It is really an incredible thing. 】
【Ahhhhhh——? ! ? ! ? ! 】
【Wow? ! 】
Just when Zhang Youji looked at the [Rebirth Soul Jade] in his hand, which emitted rainbow-colored light, was about the same size as a light bulb, and had an overall oval shape. While playing with it and observing it, he inadvertently lifted it into the room. In a sense, When Deguna, who was severely tired and turned white, came over, Deguna, who was half buried, immediately let out a scream that sounded like she was dying. When Zhang Youji shouted in surprise, he instantly grasped the situation. , desperately pushed down the table in the room, and hid behind the table that blocked the colored light of the [Rebirth Soul Jade].
【Summon the Lord! What are you doing! Do you want to take advantage of the situation when people are exhausted, to make up for the last blow and make people become Buddhas? ! ! Even if you want to wake people up from their deep sleep, this is really too much! Or what to say! Is this a bad joke by the Summoning Lord? ! Even though I have a good temper now, I am almost starting to get angry, right? ! Hurry up and put that glowing bead away! 】
【Why? Ah, you didn't mean it, sorry? Uh, can I cover it with a quilt? 】
【As long as you don't let its light come through, you can use any method! 】
After watching Deguna's reaction and listening to her anxious and angry words shouted out in a very fierce tone, Zhang Youji, who was half stunned by Deguna's sudden and strong preaching protest, He asked the question in a daze, and after Deguna's extremely serious shout, Zhang Youji hurriedly stuffed the [Rebirth Soul Jade] in his hand into the bed with the indifferent young girl.
[That’s enough, ah, no, the slutty young girl is also in there, um, it feels like she’s fine. 】
[It’s strange that something would happen to her! The effect of the light just now is a special attack that ignores the defense of the undead. It is not harmful to races other than the undead. Summon the Lord! What on earth is that? ! It must be an artifact-level item, or a unique secret treasure, right? ! Where did you get it from? ! After being illuminated for only a short time, my HP was reduced by about 1/10? ! 】
[It is a reward from the goddess of creation, and its name is a light bulb. Is it wrong? It is called the Rebirth Soul Jade? 】
Zhang Youji noticed something afterward. After confirming the appearance of the indifferent young girl, Deguna, who was hiding behind the fallen table and covered in smoke as if she was being burned, came to Zhang Youji instantly. In front of Zhang Youji, she grabbed his shoulders with her hands, her eyes glowed with blood-red light, and she asked angrily and excitedly. Then, after Zhang Youji answered unconsciously, Deguna looked at him from his expression and brief words. In the answer, he guessed the general story of what happened, and he covered his head with anger and headache, thinking about something to himself.
[...Whew, that goddess's head must be abnormal. Regarding the commission, I did hear Mo Ni's explanation, but I didn't expect that she would give such an exaggerated secret treasure for that reason. , I don’t know what to say anymore. 】
[Uh, let’s put that aside for now. Are you okay? You were covered in smoke just now. 】
【Of course something happened! Summoning Lord, it was really painful just now! Never point that thing at anyone again! I just want to take this opportunity to explain to you, let alone the hostile undead, never take that thing out in front of the undead you know. After all, the meaning of bathing in that light is equivalent to taking it out for us undead. It's like humans being thrown into lava. 】
[Ah, well, you'll die if you do that. I'm really sorry. Anyway, I remember this. But then again, what's going on with this miserable situation in the house? Also, regarding what happened last night, I don’t know why I can’t remember it at all. To be more precise, I don’t want to think about it. 】
【Oops! Last night's work is not completely finished yet! 】
After Deguna sighed to herself, Zhang Youji, who saw her suddenly withering away in a sense, asked about her physical condition with some worry, and heard her rare serious words. Zhang Youji looked a little ashamed when he gave answers and advice. While apologizing honestly, he asked Deguna some things he cared about, which made Deguna suddenly think of something. He looked panicked, shouting and looking for something in the messy house.
【Where have you gone? ! I remember they were piled up near here, there they are! As long as, as long as these remaining, final piles of documents are sorted out, people can finally say goodbye to these troublesome tasks! Wait for me, the sea! I can finally be liberated from these non-stop boring tasks! 】
[Is it an illusion? I always feel like I’m seeing the shadow of the goddess of creation who is completely overworked? 】
[By the way, Summoning Lord, what was it you wanted to ask just now? Because I want to resolve these matters quickly and go to the beach, so please tell me the matter quickly, and then go back to the maze to work quickly without getting into trouble. 】
[Hey, that forced smile that’s about to collapse is scary, isn’t it? What I just asked was about last night. By the way, why did you go back to the maze to work? ! 】
[Yes, because the summoner completely passed out last night, I don’t know anything. 】
【···, why do you look at me with hateful eyes that make you feel like you have been screwed? 】
Looking at Deguna's workaholic attitude, she couldn't help but think of the very miserable Zhang Youji, the goddess of creation before, so she couldn't help but mutter to herself, asking Deguna, who was about to do some work, After reacting to his voice instead of the content of his words, Zhang Youji couldn't help but timidly voiced his answers and doubts about Deguna's behavior of not caring about anything and just wanting to end the work as soon as possible, and then Deguna put on a subtle expression mixed with some kind of hatred and was ready to explain something.
After about 15 minutes, Deguna explained to him the events from last night to this morning in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. If she summarized them in order, they could be divided into three events.
First of all, the first thing is that Deguna told Zhang Youji what happened last night that he subconsciously wanted to forget. It reminded Zhang Youji of the horror at that time. At the same time, she also told Zhang Youji what he had done in great detail. He, for example, the tragic damage to the venue and so on.
As for Zhang Youji after listening to those words, especially from the situation of the people who were killed afterwards, thousands of people were slightly injured and dozens of people were seriously injured. Among them, the closer to Zhang Youji, the greater the injuries, especially on the award stage at that time. People are already in critical condition.
However, because of Moni's rescue, at least there were no deaths. Everyone received treatment in time, and they felt a strong sense of guilt. Although there was a muscular man inside, It didn't matter that he still didn't need any rescue, he recovered by his own efforts, and looked like everything was fine.
The second thing is what happened in the maze. Zhang Youji was moved back to the hotel last night. After some time, the head maid suddenly appeared on the teleporter set up on the third floor of the hotel leading to the maze. , came to report to Moni here about some of the new [guests] in the maze.
Deguna also happened to return here at this time, and then Moni left all the troublesome matters such as taking care of the indifferent young girl and Zhang Youji in a coma to Deguna, who also had to do other work. Moni and the head maid used the teleporter to return to the maze.
The third thing is that Deguna, who has been secretly doing the aftermath work recently for Zhang Youji who has caused problems everywhere, met the envoy of the Theocracy while doing those hard work and asked about this. It was something like a reservation, but since it wasn’t a big deal, Deguna responded appropriately and without any problems.
After that, Deguna, who was completely overworked, felt like she was about to burst into tears. She kept telling Zhang Youji how she felt about being severely overworked, or strongly protesting, asking him not to cause trouble again, without saying a word. It stimulated his guilt mercilessly and almost caused him to enter a trance state early in the morning.
[······, I’m really sorry for all this time. I didn’t know that a bullied funny character could be so scary on the verge of collapse. I’ll just go back to work in the maze, so don’t stimulate my guilt anymore. , if this continues, I feel like I will open something equivalent to a new world in my heart. 】
[Who is the funny character who is bullied? ! Call the Lord, believe it or not, they will go on strike immediately and run straight to the seaside without caring about anything! Ah, this might not be a bad idea. Hehehe, no one knows about my hard work anyway. Even the summoner who is the culprit has no conscience and is still complaining. He just goes to the beach to do whatever he wants and drags everyone into a work hell. Not bad. 】
【sorry! sorry! sorry! It is my fault! I'll go back to work in the maze right now! Also, it’s not me who took the initiative to cause those troubles! I definitely don’t want to encounter something like being stuck by muscles again! 】
Seeing Deguna's very rare attitude of suppressing anger and preaching seriously, Zhang Youji realized that Deguna was really angry this time, so he thought about all the various things last night. Regarding the matter, and the sudden appearance of complicated emotions, Yi Xin Er replied with a complaint. When the mental state of Deguna, who was very miserable, gradually entered a blackening state of collapse, Zhang Youji, who realized that something was not good, He stopped all thinking for an instant, knelt down and kowtowed to apologize to her, and then rushed out of the room and started his new day in the chaotic morning.
