Chapter 971
<971 – Experience Points Doubling (8)>
Oknodie gifted tickets to board the Jigoku Pirate Ship to the very few second-year students managing events with all the third-years through Sadi Chocolate.
Of course, there was no memory of consulting Jigoku during that process.
“Hey! No matter how much you think you’re the captain, how can you just let people board the ship without prior notice or discussion during vacation?”
“I’m sorry! It was decided in just a day!”
“I can’t go, I’m going to take Ppyoi and the kids to the Bikini Armor Contest.”
“Can’t you just go after coming back?”
“The schedule is in between!”
“Then I’ll make a phone call!”
Oknodie wondered just where she would call.
No matter how much of a networking king Oknodie was, influencing such a rare event like the Bikini Armor Contest wouldn’t be easy.
This was essentially an event organized by the Bikini Armor Group, gathering pirates from around the world for a contest of the best female pirates.
Of course, Jigoku had no intention of revealing such secrets.
If the event got ruined due to external interference, who knows how the international event that pirates had waited four years for could be ruined?
Even if he hadn’t seen the contest for the world’s number one monster cuisine, it was something that could be inferred as common sense.
Events involving Oknodie happening smoothly were almost nonexistent, except for lectures within the academy.
“The Three Great Evils also can get smashed on the way, crashed into the gates of the Capital of the Empire with a non-fair flight, depose the Seonhwang Papa, dunk the Emperor, open the Underworld, and smash the Foundation…”
A pure god of destruction had nothing on her.
The saintesses and popes who suffered because of Oknodie feared to even count them on their fingers.
“Hello?”
Finally, Oknodie picked up the receiver.
Show me your connections, let’s see how powerful the secret festival of pirates is, and demonstrate that even the heir of the Foundation has her limits!
Jigoku eagerly listened in.
And then she envisioned that familiar, unforgettable, infuriatingly characteristic voice with a rising intonation.
“Pathetic♡ A phone call in less than a week, too many check-up calls♡ Oknodie, are you my mom~?”
“Then I’m the Emperor’s mom, so I must be the empire’s matriarch? I’ll do it, I’ll do it! Masugaki will be my lil’ goo 2 starting today!”
The growth phase was over for Masugaki.
The forever 145cm Emperor of the Holy Central Empire.
No, it seemed that the Empress of the Empire, recently renamed to the Holy Dark Central Empire, which evil gods would surely love, was on the line.
Jigoku’s heart raced as if witnessing a mega senior who had dropped out of Class 981 but achieved the highest career.
Not because of the expectation of reward, but because if it turned out that the fact they were raiding the imperial ships was exposed, she might experience the 220mm Dark Magic Disposal used by the imperial fleets nowadays.
“Tickle tickle. Ambitious plans are nice, but wake up♡ Oknodie was adopted by Seonhwang Papa into the imperial family, so we should be sisters, you can’t just be my mama♡”
“Too bad, what a waste!”
“So what did the principal do this time~?”
“The principal is enjoying the event to the fullest, I called out of curiosity! Have you heard of the Bikini Armor Contest?”
“No idea. Such a trivial contest.”
With a nonchalant reply, Masugaki suddenly thought of a wicked plan and started to laugh maliciously.
“Oknodie~? Aren’t you a bit too puny to compete?”
“What!? You’re not even growing up!”
“But I’m still taller, right?”
“I’ve got bigger boobs!”
“Hmph. As the Empress who thinks of the empire’s people, my chest is way bigger, you know?”
“My effort to save everyone in the weekly event is bigger!”
Jigoku contemplated escaping during the sudden elementary school fight but realized she would only get caught up in the mess she didn’t even understand, so she gave up.
“Oknodie, did you call me to show off playing games with the Empire’s Empress?”
“Oh snap.”
Gathering herself, Oknodie finally got to the point.
“Anyway, just postpone the Bikini Armor Contest until five days before summer vacation ends!”
“I don’t know where the contest is held, but I got it for now. Since the empire has benefitted quite a bit, as the ‘sister,’ I’ll try my best to repay the debt.”
“Lil’ goo Oknodie. Give me pocket money!”
“If you come visit the palace, maybe I will~♡”
Click.
With the last sound of giggling, the call ended.
Oknodie proudly proclaimed, “Since the Empire’s Empress is changing the date, it will definitely change. You can feel reassured, right?”
“Well, that’s not quite…”
“Do you think Masugaki’s abilities are not enough? Where’s this contest happening?”
“…It should work somehow. For now, I’ll believe the date will change. But if it doesn’t change and we miss the festival, you’ll be responsible for giving our members good summer vacation memories!”
Jigoku earnestly pressed her to ensure those poor folks who were always beaten throughout the semester would get their fun.
Unbeknownst to Oknodie, who was cluelessly caught up in the dream of securing a mansion, she would soon be in unexpected trouble.
“Sadi. Sing. Does our house seem tacky…? Is it that boring no one’s getting off the ship to visit?”
Sure enough, Oknodie’s housewarming event was eclipsed by Jigoku’s cruise!
“Yeah, kinda tacky.”
“Before tackiness, there’s a huge danger, but if you view it from outside, wouldn’t you not know? The path here was peaceful.”
The three monstrous students, who already represented the elite level in the academy, were utterly clueless of the turmoil outside their mansion.
Since they arrived via teleportation, even opening the window wouldn’t let them see their friends.
If they didn’t want to become the lost souls of the vacuum of space, they wouldn’t even open the windows.
“Honestly, how well did they manage to build in this dimensional crack?”
“Papa knows about many sub-dimensions because of the World Tree!”
Sing, recalling that the elves’ Great Forest was only invaded a year ago, decided not to brood on it as it wasn’t a pressing matter.
What was bothering him now was whether to wear the revealing side-slit china dress he acquired from [Becoming a Master at Social Events – Women’s Edition], which had low defense rating, or the more protective formal trousers.
Sadi, having sneakily observed Sing’s elegant dilemma, chuckled as she accidentally spilled her cup.
Water splashed onto Sing’s formal pants.
“Sorry. I ‘mistakenly’ did that.”
“…It’s fine, I’m glad I have a change of clothes.”
Sing beamed.
Now he could legally wear that side-slit china dress without worrying about looking too pervy.
But even Sadi’s thoughtful assistance was rendered moot when Oknodie’s finger waved away the water on the formal pants.
The effect of her low-level cleaning magic was at play.
Sing, visibly disappointed, said, “…Thank you, Oknodie. But do conserve your mana. You never know when something will happen in the Director’s Mansion.”
“Mana’s in surplus, so it’s fine. But what if my friends don’t come out of the cruise…?”
“If they don’t come, just call for them.”
“My pride is wounded! I went all out inviting them to my family’s house for the first time and got a no-show. It feels like I’ve become Titosso, who got her thesis swapped for an answer sheet and ended up with full marks just to impress the professor!”
“That’s deep. I’m not close to her.”
Life lived in focus on vengeance for the sword and deceased younger sister.
With her newfound awareness of the colorful joys of life as a woman, Sing had far too many interests to worry about the rumors surrounding her.
“Why not change your perspective?”
“Hmph. How are you suggesting I do that?”
The Heart Exchange agent, Sadi Chocolate, made a tempting offer to the sulking Oknodie.
“Normally, a host will come out to ‘greet’ guests living in far and remote places. In this case, Oknodie, as the host, can help your guests with the generosity of an adult.”
“Go out to greet…? Indeed, that’s an approach!”
Sometimes, even this monstrous child looked just like a regular kid.
Sadi felt a warmth radiating.
“Sending the biological weapons in the mansion outside to conquer the cruise will force them to come back to the mansion for survival!”
“…Did you hear me? You heard me, right? I clearly said ‘greet’? Okay?”
The warmness that students hoped for during their summer vacation was already long extinct among the flames of hell.
