Chapter 2 - The Accomplice
As expected, there was no one walking in the hallway of the boys' dormitory at this time of night.
The lights were turned off, and I used the night vision spells that Letty had taught me beforehand.
「――Owl's eyes, cat's eyes, bat's eyes, tapetum tapetum, night-eye-night-eye, Night-Vision!」
The world has changed from darkness to a monotone yellow-green, but I can still grasp the space in the corridor by its shadowy condition.
My vision is good and bright.
I walked down the stairs and around to the back door, once outside the boys' dormitory.
It's pitch black outside, and the weather is cloudy, so there are no stars or moon.
Perfect.
I bent down and moved quickly, heading for the girls' dormitory on the next property.
I can see where I'm going even with my eyes closed because of the auto-mapping.
I climbed up the outer wall of the girl's dormitory using [Stick to Wall] and entered the premises.
It was a piece of cake.
I can handle it.
I guess I can make a living as a thief now.
I'm going to change my job to be a thief who goes around the world.
But ......, from here on out, if you get caught, it's really game over.
Nene would be very worried if the leader of her group was involved in a scandal, and there is a chance that her classmates would be cold towards her.
Well, Marilyn would probably get along with her, but she's also joined the Black Cat of the Wind.
This is the magic academy that Nene wanted to join.
If I were to expelled because of my perverted behavior, ...... I'm sure my friends would be desperate to condemn me, and Nene must be disappointed.
After all, this is Alec, whom Nene respects.
So, as a leader, I have a lot of responsibility here.
With a sense of urgency, I moved around the outer wall and crept through the window, trying not to make a sound.
I entered the hallway of the girls' dormitory.
The men's dormitory was cobblestone, but the women's dormitory had red carpeting, making it a bit more luxurious.
......... Okay, there's no one here, and no one's noticed.
Well, they're just students, innocent girls with no real combat experience.
I was the lone wolf that came into the dormitory while the girls were asleep.
The rest, of course, is just instinct and desire――.
「That's far enough!」
「Damn it...!」
I thought my heart was going to stop when I suddenly heard a voice behind me.
「Fuh, you're doing a pretty good job of blocking out the signs, but I'm seeing the important figures, Alec.」
I sighed and looked back at the voice. There she was, Kaede. She's wearing hot pants and a light, easy-to-move thief-type outfit.
I think wearing a robe would be less likely to be spotted here. ......
「It's you, huh. Don't scare me. I thought I'd suddenly failed the mission.」
「I'm glad you're with me. But, Alec, don't underestimate this girls' dormitory. After the lights go out, the intrusion detection spell is automatically triggered and the alarm is set to go into alert mode, and It's not just one or two alarms, it's multiple alarms, in multiple places.」
「What? Then......」
Already failed?
「Don't worry. I've deactivated all the alarms. You're lucky I'm a reliable partner. First, praise me. Then sing a praise」
「Aahh, you're amazing, you're really amazing Kaede. In general, Kaede, you're the one in the girl's dormitory, it's no wonder you know about such things.」
I point out.
Kaede has always been in the girls' dormitory. She's a comrade, but she's not an intruder.
「All I was told was 『You don't get permission to go out in the middle of the night』. Thanks to this, the alarm went off on my first day and I was humiiated. I'm on the radar of the security staff.」
「You're a NEET, but you've been active since day one. You've been overly motivated.」
「I'm not a NEET now. I've been very serious since my reincarnation, you know?」
「Reincarnation, huh? In other words, you were born from the inside of a baby, not from a magician summoning a hero?」
I check with Kaede.
「Yes, but it seems that's not the case. I talked to Serina yesterday.」
Kaede says.
「 ...... Reincarnation and summoning?」
What is the difference between these two methods?
Reincarnation seems to be more advantageous to her than us in many ways, as she knows the customs of this world better.
But since she was born into the Craig family and had parents and siblings, she must have had many of the restrictions of that relationship in her life.
I don't need an annoying brother.
By the way, I've already told Serina not to leak any information about the heroes! But.....since Kaede has officially joined the Black Cat of the Wind, so she's already OK to release information.
Serina asked me if she could talk to Kaede, and I gave her permission.
「I see. Let's go, Kaede.」
「Alright, so elementary, middle, and high school, which one should we start with?」
「Let's start with the middle school.」
「The middle first, huh? Kuku, you're good. As expected, Alec」
No, there's only one of those three. What's the difference if it's in the middle?
「By the way, what would Kaede have thought if I had said I was going to the elementary school?」
「Whoa, elementary scholl! That's the main dish! Yes!」
Kaede is making clenched fists and posing in an unintelligible manner, so I guess I should avoid the topic of loli for a bit.
「You're making too much noise.」
「Oops, sorry. It's been a while since I've been in a girl's dormitory.」
「It's been a while? You've broken into a girl's dorm before?」
「Yeah, when I was in Japan, at my alma mater's junior high school.」
「How old were you when you did it?」
「When I was a college student. I was there for teaching practice.」
She's really bad. They can't let their guard down just because they're the same sex.
I'm a lolicon too, but I don't think that's something I should do.
That's a hell of a way to go!
「Hmm? Then you're not a NEET.」
「No, I skipped high school and got into the university. In the end, I decided I couldn't be a teacher because of that incident, and I've been a NEET ever since.」
Kaede shrugged lightly and said.
「Hmph. That's the point. So you had a little bit of conscience there.」
「Yeah, well, let's leave it that way.」
It's probably not a very interesting story for Kaede, and she's been seriously reformed.
It would be better to leave the past in the past and leave her alone.
「Let's go, Kaede.」
「Okay, here we go!」
The two of us break into the girls' dormitory of the middle school.
This is an adventure, isn't it?
Kaede and I proceeded down the corridor of the girls' dormitory, both of us with an adventurer's attitude.
「Alec, at the end of the hallway there. The picture there is "The Watcher," so go with invisibility or something.」
As the two of us crept down the corridor, Kaede warned me from behind in a small voice.
There seems to be all sorts of little security tricks.
「Invicible, huh..................Can you go with [Optical Camouflage] and [Distraction]?」
「If you have that, no problem. However, it has good hearing, so footsteps and voices are no good.」
It seems to be a pretty good watcher.
As I disappeared down the corridor, I found an almost life-size portrait. In a gorgeous gold frame, it depicted the upper half of a Victorian-looking noblewoman. ......
I thought it was just a painting because it didn't move, but as I observed it more closely, I noticed that it was blinking.
It's a living picture.
I use [levitation] to muffle the sound of my footsteps, and slowly walk past the painting, looking right in front of it.
I also held my breath, just in case.
After turning the corner of the corridor, Kaede finally spoke up.
「Okay, that's enough, Alec. But still, [Levitation] is a good skill. I've also trained my [Ninja Foot] to the highest level, but pressure sensitive (touch) alarms and tiger scissors are tricky. Teach me later.」
「Well, one of these days.」
I'll answer appropriately.
I'm sorry, but I can't give dangerous skills to a dangerous lolicon.
I have to protect the innocent girls of this world from the hands of evil.
Forgive me, Kaede.
