Chapter 71 – Representative’s workload

side: Labiris

(Labiris)「…… Haa」

I leaked a sigh.

I wasn’t tired.

Just a bit lonely.

Recently, Yuki has less time to hold me.

Yes, it decreased.

For me, it’s a life and death problem.

After the large-scale defense of the Dungeon, new refugees from Ritea arrived every week. That was very chaotic.

Because of that, everyday was busy.

The only time when I could be together with Yuki was when all my work was done.

Due to the nature of their jobs, Seraria-sama and Yuki were often together, but that was impossible for me.

Since I was the head of the Dungeon.

Good grief, I had to finish today’s work on time!!

「Hey, jou-chan1). I’m in trouble now, so give me money. 」

Somehow, a foolish man came out.

「Hey!!　Listen to me!!　How can a brat like you be a representative!!」

Guys like him, many had flown from Ritea.

Perhaps they were trying to take the leftovers from the rescue policy.

(Labiris)「… Sigh. If you have any complaints, you can do it at the next election of representatives. I’m busy so move. 」

Saying that, I left that idiot.

I had no time to talk with such a fool.

I’d be healed if I can reach Yuki even one second earlier.

That was the problem when I went out alone.

Every time, I had to make a speech to the new immigrants, so all of them already knew my face.

But whether they listened to the end is another story.

「I said to wait!!　Listen, give me money!!　Since you are a representative, you probably have some!!」

(Labiris)「… Now I won’t listen to your words. So quickly move somewhere else. 」

「Oh yes!?　I despise kids!!」

The men raised his fist over his head, and swung down at me.

But I didn’t particularly do anything to resist.

「What!?」

Since I was under Guardian Appointment, I could receive no harm.

Yuki had already anticipated that the representatives would be the target of violence because of our roles, gender, and appearances.

Therefore, that matter was settled.

So once I received an attack, I offered advice.

(Labiris)「Don’t you understand?　That’s extortion. Because we’ll go to a police patrol, follow me. 」

「Don’t be silly!!」

For the second time, I offered him to surrender.

Well, more likely… He fled.

(Labiris)「Yes, yes. who was trying to pick a fight? And doesn’t he understand his own place?」

That said, I caught up with the fleeing man in a matter of seconds.

「What!?」

(Labiris)「Always the same reaction, it’s boring. 」

That’s why, I didn’t take my sword out of its sheath when I hit.

「Gyah!?」

The man who couldn’t avoid my attack, took it straight and rolled on the ground.

(Labiris)「Now, listen to me until the end. You’ll be put into forced labor. And after this, you’ll be bounded by a slave contract that will forbid you to invade the Dungeon. Because of our notice, every country would hereafter recognize you to have sinned in the Dungeon. 」

「Wa-wait hey!!」

(Labiris)「Hey, patrol. Arrest this guy quickly. He got caught in flagrante delicto2). 」

「「Ha!!」」

「「「Ooooo!!!」」」

Recently, I watched those events in series like they were a play.

I’m delighted when I defeat a resident.

… But it’s tiring.

Well, it seemed that I wasn’t the only representative targeted. The others were regularly intercepted and blamed too.

(Vilia)「Labiris nee-chan!!」

(Hiro)「… Onee-chan. Are you okay?」

When I waved to the crowd of people, Vilia and Hiro asked me.

(Labiris)「Oh, you two. Is the school today… a day off?」

(Hiro)「Un」

(Vilia)「How is everyone doing?　You are always strangely assaulted… 」

Vilia anxiously looked at me.

They were together at school while I was at work. We only met at lunch.

I was on good term with those two.

And they seemed to get along well with Aslin and Philia.

…… Particularly this Vilia. My intuition is whispering it to me. A woman’s intuition.

Surely, she will become a good ally.

(Labiris)「… I am okay but. With the increase of people, it’s not a rare sight to witness such event. Did you two undergo such event?　I mean, did anyone in the school?」

(Vilia)「Yes, the diligent Yuki-sensei has been cautious. Especially when we move around with money, one of the leaders always accompany us. 」

(Labiris)「Which reminds me, the number of students increased and so did the number of sensei’s. 　How are they?」

(Vilia)「They are good people. The diligent Yuki-sensei and Seraria-sama selected them. So they made a tight consideration. 」

(Hiro)「…… All good people. 」

Hiro said, laughing.

This girl, she looked a bit similar to me.
