Reincarnated in a different world, the main job is the villager, the side job is the devil king

Chapter 219 Campus Legend: Mannequin in the Office

After the preliminary round of the Campus Idol Competition, the elimination round follows.

As the four girls ranked in the top 15 on the popularity list, they have the right to have byes in the first few knockout rounds and have enough time to prepare for subsequent events.

Xia Mi was free for a short while.

He continued to work on the Demon King's City. As the Demon King who was already somewhat powerful, building his own Demon King's City was his main mission.

It's just that the magical girl's battle to defend the saint pulled him into a side mission in San Carno City.

Now, back to the main mission.

Xia Mi sat in the office, took out the Demon King's Castle Core from the Demon King's Ring, and studied it carefully.

By switching between the macro perspective and the micro perspective, and switching between the external and internal perspectives of the Demon King's Castle, Xia Mi manipulated the small core of the Demon King's Castle in front of him with his hands.

The morning time passed quickly.

Xia Mi left the office and took a walk on the school road to collect inspiration for the renovation of Demon King's Castle.

At this time, he heard the comments from the new students around him.

"Do you know the seven incredible events in this school?"

"Eh?"

"There are strange phenomena happening in every school, just like urban legends. Our school also has seven incredible stories, which have been confirmed by the senior brothers and sisters."

A group of freshmen formed a circle and started a discussion in a low voice on the lawn nearby.

Xia Mi moved his ears, showing a gossipy look.

"What incredible events are there?"

"For example, the extra stairs. In the old teaching building at the end of the school, there is a staircase. When counting during the day, there are only 12 steps, but at night it becomes 13 steps."

"It feels like these are common incredible events on Japanese campuses, without any innovation..."

"There is one more, one more, do you know the three-way mirror on the top floor of the old teaching building? A girl once came to the washbasin there at 0:0:0 in the morning. When she stood on the three-way mirror, When I was in the middle of the mirror, I saw my future self..."

"Even this one is exactly the same... It would be better if we first investigate the girl who still misses the right time to go to the top floor of the old teaching building so late..."

"This incredible incident also happened in the old teaching building. And it happened recently. Someone saw an alien secretly building a secret base inside at night."

"Is that old teaching building a gathering place for evil spirits? Then demolish it quickly! By the way, it has already reached the fourth category!"

"Listen to me, this is the most exciting news. It happened in the teaching building. A senior brother saw a mannequin running out of the dean's office in the evening!"

"Actually, I still want to say [Mannequin of the Seven Mysterious Creatures Room], it's just a different place, so there's nothing new."

Everyone looked at the person who said this with disdain.

"Ah, this might be true."

At this time, the voice that had been making noises came from behind again.

"I said, you are the one who has been complaining and ruining the atmosphere! - Who are you? I don't know you at all!"

Everyone turned around and looked at the black-haired boy behind them who was also sitting on the lawn and automatically joined the group chat.

Xia Mi blinked quietly, put his hands behind his back, and left pretending that nothing happened.

If you hold a ghost story session on a public lawn in broad daylight, you will definitely be criticized.

-

Dusk was approaching, and Xia Mi, who had no classes all day, put his feet on his desk. Slime jelly sat on his shoulders and turned into a shape similar to a liquid, covering almost all of his shoulders. The liquid body moved rhythmically. Pressing Xia Mi's shoulders.

Master Slime is giving the devil a massage.

"Okay, the hard day is over, it's time for us to go back."

Xia Mi patted the slime on the shoulder.

Jelly jumped down and automatically entered the pet box.

At this time, there was a knock at the door, which was very rapid. Under normal circumstances, the door of the office was not locked. Before Xia Mi could reply, the door was opened.

Xia Mi quickly put his feet down from the desk, maintained his appearance, frowned and looked at the door.

"I'm sorry, Xia Mi-sama, because I feel that many people will look at me when I walk outside, so I can only run over here, and I can't wait for you to open the door."

The door was closed, and a human skeleton stood against the door and looked at Xia Mi.

"Here it comes, here comes the strange story that was talked about by the students this morning."

After Xia Mi saw clearly who was coming, he laughed as usual.

"Skeleton, what are you doing here?"

Xia Mi looked at the fair-skinned figure who slowly walked towards him and sat down on the guest chair in front of the desk.

It can be seen from the brightness of the bones of the skeleton that this guy has lived a very nourishing life.

"Isn't there any tea? Everyone here is a guest, so tea must be prepared no matter what."

The skeleton sighed slightly dissatisfied.

"You will only make my floor dirty after drinking it! Where did you learn this from Director Rooney? It seems that you have also learned a lot about the world, you guy!"

Xia Mi made no move to prepare tea.

The skeleton was not discouraged, she didn't like drinking tea anyway.

"By the way, the weird rumors about campus mannequins that are going viral among students are probably based on you. Why don't you just stay in the office? Why are you running around the campus?"

"Because I need to keep fit, Sir Xia Mi. Do you know the dangers of sitting for long periods of time without exercising? It's equivalent to smoking secondhand smoke, which will damage your body. Sir Xia Mi, just sit for long periods of time. Be careful not to befriend Lulea in the future. It’s your fault, Miss.”

"Ah, I was taught a lesson by a person without a body. I understand, thank you for the skeleton."

Xia Mi has been a demon king for so long, and the biggest lesson learned is to listen to criticism and corrections from his subordinates.

He accepted the friendly reminders from his subordinates with dignity.

"Why did you come to my place? Don't you just want to make fun of me?"

"I came here with important information."

The skeleton looked at Xia Mi seriously, and Xia Mi became interested.

Although the current emotional state of the skeleton cannot be seen from the two empty eyes, after all, they are guys who have been wandering in the outside world for a while, and they must have collected some important information.

"tell me the story."

The skeleton suddenly sat up straight, with his arms drawn inward, and his hands shyly inserted into the middle of his thighs, which were all bones. There was a gentle collision between the bones.

"If you want to get information from others, you have to act like you're asking for help. Such a straightforward request won't do."

"Ah ha, I understand, jelly, come on, give the skeleton a massage."

"Not this one."

The skeleton slowly raised his bony feet to the table. The exposed teeth on his skull bit the bony fingers of his right hand.

"Before we get the information, let's make everyone feel comfortable. How does Sir Xia Mi usually play with Lulea and the others? Just use the same method with me~ Sir Xia Mi's eyes are dilated. Are you really fascinated? This is the result of my practice during this period. I can enchant the devil without stockings. If you want stockings, I’m sorry~ I’ve become an office mannequin and can’t hide them~” Xia Mi moved his bones in silence. The right leg of the rack was taken off.

"Little one, be careful, Xia Mi-sama! The weak spot is on the toes!"

Skeleton yelled.

Seeing that the skeleton still looked like this after being out for so long, Xia Mi knew that it was for nothing to let it travel around the mainland in the first place.

"What have you practiced?"

The skeleton looked at the time and began to tell important information.

"If you are interested in someone else's story, just invite them to the rooftop on a full moon night to chat. Isn't it time for Natsuya-sama to build the Demon King's Castle?"

"Huh? We are indeed advancing this aspect. But, how do you know?"

Xia Mi was quite curious.

The skeleton is placed with both hands under the chin.

"Don't forget my identity, Master Xia Mi. I once served as the skeleton of the mannequin in Luwaka's biology room. Of course I know some relevant things."

"The construction of the Demon King's City is a big deal. Sir Xia Mi needs to hire professionals to design an indestructible Demon King's City."

"When Luwaka first designed the Demon King's Castle, he had no experience at all. He designed the Demon King's Castle as a huge footbath castle. Although he later joined forces with the Succubus and made a lot of money, he later found that there was no resistance to the adventure group. The offensive capabilities can only be dismantled and rebuilt at great cost, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.”

"The goblins are a race that is very good at forging and building. When the demon king Luwaka was rebuilding the Demon King's City, he captured the goblins' best masters in construction and asked them to help them stay up for more than half a year to design and build the Demon King's City."

Xia Mi listened carefully, and his goal suddenly became clear.

"Then where are the goblins now?"

"Stand on the front line against the demons."

"..."

"However, Mr. Xia Mi, there is also a person in San Carno School who has a lot of say in architecture. - The new student dean has a very thick beard, short body, looks very honest, likes Tea drinkers.”

"Ah, I know, it's just Rooney, there's no need to add so many adjectives."

"Rooney is actually the descendant of goblins and humans, with half goblin blood flowing through his body."

Xia Mi was slightly surprised.

No wonder Rooney always feels that his body and appearance are a bit out of the human category.

The last person to feel this way, and feel it strongly, was Theo.

"Rooney only serves as the dean of freshmen students. But the subject he really teaches in school is architecture. Rooney is one of the top architectural masters on the mainland. He has been invited to build castles and royal palaces in many kingdoms. Let’s design it. If Sir Xia Mi asks Rooney for some advice on the construction of the Demon King’s City, you might gain something unexpected.”

The skeleton continued quietly.

-

Xia Mi became happy and reinstalled the right foot he was playing with on the skeleton. He came to the skeleton and touched its skull with full humanity and affinity.

This is already the limit of Xia Mi's rewards. Although he is a foreigner, he has not yet reached the level of a skeleton.

"Not bad, Skeleton. Did you get such important information? I didn't expect that your lurking in San Carno School was a premeditated action. I recognize you again. The devil's continental adventure against an ordinary skeleton clan actually happened. I’m getting interested.”

The skeleton touched his forehead.

In fact, that was not the case. When I first arrived in the city of San Carno, I was thrown in front of the trash can under the street lamp as garbage by others. Later, I came to San Carno School by chance.

[Clouds and mist float, a soft BGM similar to that played on a gramophone sounds, and memories begin]

This journey is really difficult...

Walking on the path away from the neon lights, the skeleton continued to move forward dejectedly.

It is very tired and overworked, and its non-existent brain is thinking about where to go next.

But the result is that it doesn't know what to do.

Sure enough, it is still too difficult for a skeleton to pursue his dream.

After looking at the only [Portal] scroll in his hand that could be teleported back to Xia Mi, the skeleton hesitated, thinking about crushing it.

But if you go back like this, you will be looked down upon by Xia Mi!Why did the heroic words when he left turn into silence at the end?
In the end, the skeleton resisted the idea.

Gradually we came to a place without people, and we were chased by wild dogs just now.

Those guys, haven't you ever licked your bones? They chased them from the east to the west of the city.

His whole body was exhausted, and his skeleton directly found a place to sit down.

This is in front of a garbage dump, surrounded by several trash cans full of garbage, and behind him is a street lamp with a faint yellow light. Flies are flying around, but the skeleton has no strength to stand up.

Although I love to be clean, my bones are no longer allowed to be clean. Too clean bones will make people think that a bad murder occurred. The victim was shaved off by the perverted murderer, leaving only a fresh skeleton. .

The skeleton picked up his legs and slowly put the black stockings on his legs, so that he would be 50% invisible at night.

Soon, Rooney, who had just come out from the izakaya after drinking, saw the skeleton sitting in front of the garbage dump. The skeleton looked at the man and couldn't stand the messy environment around him. He accidentally tried to say hello and see. Can I get a place to stay?

"Let me stay one night and I will be your mannequin..."

Unexpectedly, although he could not understand the skeleton language, Rooney, who was half human and half goblin, seemed to hear the subtle sound and looked at the skeleton in surprise.

"Did you make the sound just now?"

The skeleton was quickly disguised and did not dare to move.

After waiting for half a minute, although he didn't get an answer, Rooney still picked up the skeleton and returned to the office.

That’s right, this is the skeleton version of [drinking, then picking up a black silk mannequin]

[The clouds and mist drift away, the BGM disappears, and the memory ends. 】

Looking at the skeleton that seemed to be stuck in memories, Xia Mi frowned deeply.

"It always feels like you're recalling something I don't want to know."

"Not at all. My adventures are like a history book, Natsuya-sama!"

The skeleton quickly clarified.

"Sir Xia Mi, if you are interested, I will talk to you later."

"Ah, let's talk about it later." Xia Mi said perfunctorily.

"To sum up, this is what I came to see Mr. Xia Mi."

"Yes, Skeleton, you have received a [Free Unlimited Soap Coupon] issued by the Demon King himself."

The skeleton looked at the time and chose to stay in Xia Mi's office.

"Master Xia Mi, I'll stay here until night before going out. It's still too dangerous to go out now. Many people saw me and came to you just now."

"You didn't tell me earlier! What trouble are you causing?"

Xia Mi quickly checked the situation and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was nothing unusual outside.
