Chapter 505 – Episode 55. Post-War Processing and Purges.
Daigo Terue’s sudden return to the academy was something that even teachers were shaken by. It was known that he was suspended for a month and a half, but it was natural to be confused as Daigo Toyotaaka died in a car accident and the majestic Kosuke Ishidera suddenly disappeared and Daigo Terue returned.
In particular, the teachers who had decided to join the Toyotaka faction after being deceived by Kosuke Ishidera’s coaxing were worried that they would lose their jobs.
Kasaoka Yuzuki’s husband, Kasaoka Koki, was also embarrassed. He had no idea that this would happen just a few days after he joined the Toyota car faction and received a significant salary increase. Koki Kasaoka called his wife, Yuzuki Kasaoka, aside to discuss the matter.
Kasaoka Koki’s anxiety grew even more because Yuzuki Kasaoka had been summoned to her academy’s principal’s office and left. I was curious about what Yuzuki Kasaoka heard and said to Daigo Terue.
“Uh, what happened?”
“Of course I called because of this incident. So I answered honestly. Kosuke Ishidera said that Toyota first brought you into the faction, and I received your recommendation.”
“Well, what should I do if I talk to the academy director like that?”
Koki Kasaoka was very embarrassed and screamed, but Yuzuki Kasaoka was smiling inexplicably while looking at Koki Kasaoka.
“We’re getting divorced.”
Yuzuki Kasaoka’s sudden words. Koki Kasaoka kept looking at Yuzuki Kasaoka with her eyes wide open, wondering if she had heard wrong.
“What do you mean?”
“The academy director said that if I divorce you, I don’t have to be fired. Since you stepped forward and recruited for the Toyotaka faction, you have no choice but to be fired.”
“That… !”
Koki Kasaoka left her speechless. Although she had nothing to say since her faction had fallen, she couldn’t help but feel aggrieved.
“Well, then you’re only getting divorced in name, right?”
“No. I’m really getting divorced. I’m tired of watching you have sex with your student, so after you get divorced, you can move on with that student. Since I was cheating like you, I will take three-quarters of the money I paid for the house.”
“You… ! What are you talking about?!”
Koki Casaoka was unfamiliar with his wife. It was as if an emotionless doll was talking. Of course, she thought that it was inevitable that her affair was caught because she was not careful, but she found out that her wife, who she thought would never change in her life, was also cheating on her… Even though she had also cheated, Casa Oka Koki was furious.
“Isn’t this enough for you? Since I will no longer be a teacher soon, I can confidently meet with students I am currently in a relationship with, and I will also take on more of the debt. Three quarters is 75%, so I am taking on most of the debt. “Our mansion must be quite expensive to maintain for an unemployed person.”
What would you do if you took most of the debt? Koki Kasaoka is scheduled to be fired soon and will have no work… But Koki Kasaoka soon changed his mind.
If things go well with the girl from St. Francis Girls’ Academy I’m currently dating, money won’t be a problem. Since that girl kept divorcing Yuzuki Kasaoka and asked her to marry him, she might as well take this opportunity to divorce herself…
“Divorce is good. But I have to own the house.”
“Then take 75 percent of the debt.”
Kasaoka Yuzuki frowned at Kasaoka Koki’s words. Half of her debt was due to fraud, but the other half was money she used to buy a house. Yuzuki Kasaoka wanted to stay somewhere cheaper, even if it was a little further away, but her vanity, Koki Kasaoka, insisted on her, so she chose an expensive mansion close to St. Francis Girls’ Academy.
Ryuta Yamashiro said he would take on as much as 75 percent of the debt if he would settle it, but Koki Kasaoka continued to claim ownership of the house.
From what I heard from the academy director, it was clear that Koki Kasaoka would be fired. Then, even though she had no need for the mansion near St. Francis Girls’ Academy, she was so greedy that it felt like the slightest affection she had as a wife, which had already faded away, was disappearing.
“Well, that’s too much! Because you were the one who got scammed in the first place! Why should I take on the debt?”
Kasaoka Yuzuki felt saddened by Kasaoka Koki’s cry. Although it was Yuzuki Kasaoka who was defrauded, all investment decisions were made in consultation with the couple. All Kasaoka Yuzuki did on his own was to sign the contract. Even with that, Yuzuki Kasaoka felt a sense of responsibility and started working part-time at Deli Health.
“Great. I’ll give in. Let’s do it 5 to 5.”
“Big… !”
It was certainly an acceptable condition, favorable to Koki Kasaoka, but in fact, Koki Kasaoka owed more. This is because he used private loans to give unreasonable luxury gifts to a student he was currently dating.
Even if the debt was 5 to 5, it was a difficult debt to handle if you counted your own debt as well. Koki Kasaoka thought deeply for a moment and smiled wickedly.
“If you 8 and I 2 do not accept these conditions, I will not divorce you. If you don’t get a divorce, you too will be fired, so think carefully.”
In the end, the only way to get a divorce quickly was through mutual agreement. Otherwise, you would have to file a lawsuit, which would take quite some time. It was unclear whether Daigo Terue would wait until the lawsuit was filed.
Koki Kasaoka used that to threaten Yuzuki Kasaoka to collect his debt. Yuzuki Kasaoka was very disappointed in Koki Kasaoka’s actions, but she nodded her head as if she understood.
“All right. Let’s do that. Instead, I also need to find a house, so I will be staying in the mansion until this year. “You probably won’t be fired until this year.”
Since there are classes for students, they probably won’t be kicked out tomorrow. There was a high possibility that it would not be cut at least until this year.
“Good. “Let’s use our lunch break to file a divorce right now.”
Koki Kasaoka smiled excitedly that everything went as she thought. Even though she was his wife and he had been living with her for several years now, she had no qualms about divorcing him in one day. Seeing that Yuzuki Kasaoka also had no regrets about her, he realized that the Kasaoka couple had only maintained the form of a married couple.
###
Kirie Kurayamada left St. Francis Girls’ Academy before her lunchtime. After having lunch alone with Jurie Kijimoto for the first time in a while (so far, the three of us, including Kirie Kurayama), went to the small room used as a counseling room next to the clubroom on the second floor of the special class building to have a meeting at Urabe Konoka’s request. .
Urabe Konokara… After all, in this case, you are probably paying tribute to the Daughter of the Abyss, right? Since you offered the dead avatar of the foreign god as a tribute, you will definitely receive a considerable reward.
“Ah! “Teacher, you’re already here!”
Konoka Urabe, wearing a red ribbon, entered her consultation room and greeted her. Urabe Konoka smiled, and she sat down across from me.
“You asked to see me because of the daughter of the abyss, right?”
“Yes~! The Daughter of the Abyss was very surprised to receive the offering. She was wondering what on earth she was doing.”
He seemed surprised to suddenly receive such a huge gift as an offering. Even from the perspective of the Daughter of the Abyss, this is an unexpected tribute. What is she doing? You might think:
“Wait… !”
Urabe Konoka spoke to me and closed her eyes for a moment. And when she opened her eyes again, her usual brown eyes had changed into the purple abyss color of the daughter of the abyss.
“
Pet.
”
Although she looked like Urabe Konoka, she was no longer Urabe Konoka. The daughter of the abyss has descended as Konoka Urabe.
“Daughter of the Abyss…”
“
She was very surprised to receive this tribute. Offering the remains of the avatar of the sunken one… What on earth did she do?
”
“Oh, that’s it…”
I told the Daughter of the Abyss what happened this time. The daughter of the abyss, who had been listening to my story with interest, nodded her head as if she understood.
“
Right… We will give you a choice regarding compensation for the tribute given by your pet. The avatar’s remains contain considerable divinity, so if I absorb them, I will become stronger than I am now and be able to give greater rewards. Instead, it will take a considerable amount of time to absorb the divinity in the Avatar’s remains. Because it has to go through a refining process. If you don’t have much time, you can choose to receive the reward right away.
”
So, you had to choose whether to receive compensation right away or wait a little and receive enhanced compensation. Since I wasn’t in a hurry right now, I decided to wait.
“I’ll wait. Because it’s more important for you to become stronger.”
If you use the power to gift it to me, even if you absorb the avatar’s remains this time, it won’t become much stronger than you think. I thought it would be better to wait, so I could get a good reward and the Daughter of the Abyss could become stronger. When I said I would wait, the Daughter of the Abyss smiled with the face of Konoka Urabe.
“
As expected, I saw one guy well. Has he not by any chance obtained the seed of an earthquake? It’s a bit hard to call it compensation, but the root of the earthquake is a vicious object that will become the avatar of the one who was forcibly sunk if not purified, so I will purify it.
”
I was planning to hire an alchemist or corporate chemist to refine the Earthquake Seed, but it would be nice if the Daughter of the Abyss could do it. I took out the Seed of Earthquake. I brought it today just in case, but I didn’t know if I could purify it right away like this. As soon as I took out the Earthquake Seed, a translucent window appeared and once again provided me with information.
◆Seed of Earthquake [Legendary + Elixir/Materials/Consumables/Seed]
A seed that can create an avatar of the sunken-root king who dwells underground. If refined well, it becomes an ingredient for an elixir.
As he handed the fist-sized gem, blinking with red light, to the Daughter of the Abyss, the Daughter of the Abyss held the Earthquake Seed in both her hands and closed her eyes. Instant Pot! And the light burst out and soon disappeared.
“
You can do this as much as you want because it doesn’t require much strength.
”
Before, it was a rough jewel the size of a fist, but the one that the Daughter of the Abyss returned to me was a pink jewel the size of half a fist.
◆Essence of the Earth [Legendary + Elixir/Materials/Consumables]
The essence of the energy of the earth, coveted by everyone in the earth. It’s good to just consume it, but if you make an elixir using alchemy, the effect becomes even stronger.
When consumed, physical stats permanently increase by 1, and additionally, strength, stamina, resistance, and recovery stats increase by 2. The limits of all physical stats also increase by 1.
The name has changed. Perhaps the sunken one transformed the essence of the earth with his power and turned it into an earthquake seed or an earthquake root. It was highly likely that when the Daughter of the Abyss removed only the power of the Drowned One, her original form was revealed. It was indeed an option that could be considered legendary plus level. Moreover, the effect becomes stronger when made into an elixir, so I was curious how much better it would be here.
