Although after the lobby it is a spacious bar, 'that place' actually has a lot more to it.

You can tell from the seemingly infinite corridor that extends from it that if you were to go in, it would involve those disgusting preferences that the nobles don't want anyone to know about, right?

...

I have absolutely no interest in knowing or interfering.

Although we, who have no need to worry about our lives, can go and correct the behavior of those nobles, our actions are meaningless.

The people of this world, rather than lacking something, are completely different from our world.

Our worldviews, moral perspectives, and outlook on life have all been accumulated based on our world, while the worldview of this world is generated in their environment.

Forcing one's own justice onto others is the most boring behavior.

I only want to quietly level up and protect my companions; I have no interest in changing the world.

Conquering the world is not something that interests me at all.

Leaving 'that place' and not forgetting to greet the gatekeeper on my way out.

"Leaving so soon? Were you just here to gather information?"

"Why would you think that?"

Hearing the other person's words, I looked at him with interest.

"Because there are only two things people come here for: entertainment and exchanging information. In such a short time... I can't think of any entertainment that could be done."

"Alright, even if you guessed right, there's no reward."

"Well, that's true. Lord Fir, I hope you visit us again next time."

"..."

Bad, this place is actually affiliated with an organization called the 'Snake Eye.' Did I just walk around in someone else's nest?

And the other party let me leave directly, it seems like I was completely underestimated...

No, it's not about being underestimated. The other party... probably knows that I am not from this world and is very clear about my abilities, so they don't intend to confront me directly. It wouldn't be wise to fight against someone who won't completely die.

Moreover, from Miss Nightmare's and the gatekeeper's names and titles, it can be seen that these two have to some extent hidden their titles and names. Otherwise, I wouldn't have only been able to see so little...

Who is the other party? Could it be that they have hacked the entire system?

"Please give my regards to your boss, Mr. Martin."

"Of course."

Pushing open the door of 'that place,' the railroad tracks that lead here came into view immediately.

The entrance of 'that place' actually looks like a huge treehouse, and after closing the door, it looks almost indistinguishable from the surrounding trees.

And this tree is actually alive, although it has been modified to make it difficult to survive, the inside of this treehouse is embedded with quite a few wood element magic crystals, keeping the tree alive.

But I don't intend to take the train back, after all, it is not the optimal choice at the moment.

"Hold on tight."

Holding the hands of Pure White and Oyado, I activated the teleportation skill.

In the next second, we appeared in the library of the academy. Quickly removing our disguises, we left the library and headed towards the headquarters of the Neet Tea Party.

"Big Brother! Wait a minute!"

Shortly after leaving the library, Oyado suddenly grabbed my clothes.

"The school looks very strange! Big Brother didn't notice?"

"Strange..."

I had been thinking about sharing the information with others, but I didn't notice what was right in front of me.

After Oyado reminded me, I quickly surveyed the surroundings of the academy. The moment I looked, I felt a shiver creep up my spine.

"Oh my, what happened here..."

Just a few hours ago, the academy had been covered in a faint gray color, like a dream.

But that's not the scariest part. The scariest part is that several people dressed in academy attire were standing on the open space like statues, their poses extremely eerie.

Some poses looked like they were trying to run, others looked like they were trying to dodge an attack, and some were lying on the ground.

Oh my, what on earth happened here?

Illusion?

Impossible. Even if it were an illusion, it wouldn't turn people into this state. This is not just mental control, but also physical control. How... how is this possible!?

I felt my mouth twitching.

What kind of enemy am I facing?

Perhaps people in this world would be able to find a solution with some time and effort. But someone who understands our abilities, and even more than we do, how are we supposed to fight against that?

And they have already found our base... this...

Right! The communication terminal!

I quickly opened the communication section on the terminal. At a time like this, it's crucial to confirm the status of my teammates.

But...

"Are you kidding me?"

There was not a single person on the communication terminal!

Not that it couldn't connect, but there was not a single name on it!

Could it be that I'm under an illusion?

Just as I thought that, I suddenly heard a very eerie sound!

It was... the sound a snake makes when it hisses!

"Watch out!"

Pure White suddenly pushed the two of us away! Then, a yellow light shone from the side, enveloping Pure White!

Immediately after, Pure White's body turned gray in an instant, turning into a statue!

And looking at where the light was coming from, there was a monster with a human body and a snake tail, coiled on the roof, staring at us!

Medusa?
