90 – How to fight and win against monsters (18) – Dyers’ Diary
“Finally… I’m finally halfway through…”
The girl who was gathering up a huge amount of documents finally sighed.
Today, she fought and lost the battle called ‘work’ and got dark circles as a prize.
Ignoring her flowing white blonde hair, the girl lightly gave a quick look. Even though her complexion was cold and almost like that of a corpse, her appearance did not lose its shine. That’s because she didn’t have the looks to be undervalued by that factor.
The girl was a Silly Latina, a collateral branch of the great Silly family, one of the hottest potatoes in the Academy, who overthrew the ‘big evil’ Dyers and took over as the first executive officer.
“How on earth did that person repeat this every day? As expected, that person is insane in many ways… He is out of his mind…”
She stared at the huge pile of documents with trembling and worn-out eyes. Recently, the number of incidents has calmed down, but the amount of incidents is such that it makes me respect the people who have held the position of first executive officer, the pinnacle of power.
“…Well, this time it’s because of that person’s virtue as well.”
At least, the workload was reduced by about 20% due to Latina forcing Dyers back. I looked at the documents I paid for just in case, and found that most of them were reasonable decisions. Her former executor, Dyers, was a person who was more crazy about ‘rationality’ than she was. She is a criminal who committed a crime because her own personality was dirty. She was like that only when it came to handling things.
She sometimes went out of her way to put her stamp on content that seemed dangerous, but her choice of Dyers was firm. After all, I am a human being who doesn’t care as much about what other people say as a fingernail eaten by a rat.
In the end, Latina’s choice was to respect the choice of her former executor, and Dyers rewarded him with a worthy performance.
I glance at the documents he posted out of the corner of my eye. For some reason, he felt strange as he was in the position of examining the documents of someone who was in a higher position than him. In fact, it was torn apart.
What made Latina feel better was the contents of the document.
“Lapra Chica flower variety was successfully improved and cultivated… Lapra Chica?! Crazy… Wow, how on earth was this planted…?”
‘Flower of Laprasica’ is a plant that is the main ingredient in medicine used in the highest quality recovery and curse elixir. The price is extremely expensive, so if you succeed in cultivating it, you can make a lot of money. Of course, it is difficult to grow and is sensitive, so there was no place where cultivation was successful except for the Empire and the Magic Tower.
Even the student council, which boasts of being the pinnacle of Beatus Academy, and the shameless delegates, who claim to be on the same level even though they are far behind, did everything they could to try to raise Laprasica, but failed.
The district in charge of it was Student Council District 1, and the executive officer who promoted the project was Dyers. At that time, Dyers pushed the La Fra Chica improvement project to a degree that was strange even for a Latina trainee.
‘Don’t think about failure. I will put my honor on the line and make it an unconditional success. It’s natural to be afraid of failure. Only those who have the courage to move forward even when afraid are worthy of victory.’
‘…But Senior Dyers’ budget is severely lacking. If things continue like this, the student council may go bankrupt. The chairman also tried to dissuade me…’
‘All responsibility lies with you and me, Latina. ‘You don’t have to worry about those guys.’
‘Huh??!’
Despite numerous criticisms that it was a waste of budget, Dyers even saved his own food expenses, and this remained the worst failure in the history of the student council.
Starting from that incident, his reputation gradually fell, and he kept his word by eventually being kicked out.
Dyers, who finally returned, succeeded in improving the breed.
“…..I never imagined that I would be held responsible in this way.”
The Latina let out a sigh of relief. If this is the case, won’t his standing in the student council only increase?
“Really, really, damn it, ah… That’s crazy obsession. Doesn’t this person actually know the future?! hahahahaha.”
At the same time, I admire his passion. Latina smiled innocently at the absurd assumption, even to herself.
He saw that the man he had kicked out had come back and was helping him without any hesitation.
It’s a thought I keep coming back to these days, but it felt good to have him back.
The manpower that had been in emergency mode was back on track to some extent, and various civil complaints were handled much more efficiently in a way he had never heard of before, so there was nothing more to be done. The evaluations of those around him were all positive.
On the other hand, what about himself?
Although he took up the position with great enthusiasm, he failed to completely take control of District 1. In terms of work progress, it was at a lower level than during the Dyer’s lame duck days.
Most of her other executors did not recognize her as her first executor. The trainees, who had not been able to properly learn the job due to a lack of manpower, were very intimidated.
If he came back and made Student Council District 1 normal in the midst of such chaos, what would others think?
“…No, no, don’t think such useless things. Why are you still concerned about what other people think? It’s still not good enough, but you just have to work harder. If you focus more, people will definitely look at you differently again….Ha.”
The Latina held her head as the stress engulfed her.
It is okay to be ignored or despised by other executives. Because it was something I had to deal with anyway.
However, it was difficult to bear the useless looks from her fellow executors.
Every time I saw it, my body started shaking. She felt like she wanted to dig out all those eyes.
“If I had known it was such a heavy and scary position, I would have thought more about it.”
Even though she thought about it herself, she said something pathetic and carefully handled the documents he had uploaded.
How can it be that the font hasn’t changed since then? When I was a trainee, reading this was all work.
I may now be able to read his handwriting better than Dyers. Because he often confused his own handwriting.
I unconsciously let out a sigh as I felt the texture of the paper.
“…I’d rather not kick you out.”
Latina immediately regretted those words.
Tuk.
3:30 In the morning. A time when even the sunlight cannot overcome the moon.

The Latina suddenly remembered his luggage.
This is because Dyers’ diary fell out between the luggage bags stored in the drawer.
Free, she picked up his diary and opened it slightly.
‘I was uncomfortable last time because of the suicidal implications, but looking at your recent actions, it seems like you’ve changed your mind again, so I guess it’ll be okay.’
Except for that content, all other content was sealed with mana. No matter how important privacy is, it was a bit excessive.
She smiled and flipped through the open diary. You won’t be able to see the content anyway.
“…Uh, huh?”
Her pupils, which were almost closed, widened significantly.
Ten pages, almost half of the diary, were unsealed.
The Latina seemed to be possessed and she began devouring the private life of the man she had kicked out.
Her handwriting is messy, but she can read it. Because she knew him best.
‘…I can’t read anything.’
It’s definitely his handwriting.
However, several sentences are mixed together in such a bizarre way that it is impossible to read. There was even an atmosphere of fear.
Nevertheless, after trying desperately, Latina was able to interpret a few sentences.
Lapra Chica – Curse special potion.
-You may not know.
-Vivian has gone missing. Because of me.
-The name of the new junior who joined today is Latina. I can’t work, but I’m sincere.
-Still unable to work.
“This human…!”
The indignant Latina paused when she saw the next sentence.
-It hurts.
-If you ever see this diary, you will know. There is no need to worry about ‘me’. Because no matter what world it is, the fact that I exist as myself doesn’t change. Take steps to prevent others from seeing it.
-The research on how to absorb curses was successful.
Latina’s face became increasingly puzzled by sentences that were difficult to understand at a glance. What does this all mean?
In particular, I did not understand the last sentence at all.
“Hasn’t there been some kind of mental problem since you were kicked out of the family?”
Her face turned pale. The content was much more serious than I thought.
.
Dyers, wearing a mask, got closer and closer to Dandelian. Luna had already fainted from her poison.
Dan Delian smiled and held out his hand towards him.
“Hello. Are you the masked man who’s been rumored these days? They say you go around destroying all criminal groups, but you’re shorter than me. I guess the growing pains weren’t enough!”
You’re noisy, man. Right now I’m wearing a mask so I just look smaller.
“……”
“Kids these days are all rude. If an adult says hello, you should accept it.”
Dandelian smiled again and held out his hand. At the same time, flames rise from behind Dyers.
A huge flame loses its shape with one swing of the staff.
“Hey. It’s definitely not a small fry. Then, do you want to avoid this too?”
Fire, water, and wind spirits concentrated their attack on one point at the same time.
The masked man walked towards him, swinging his staff and deflecting the magic.
“He said, ‘Give me that kid.’”
“If it were you, would you give it to me? What if I don’t give it to you?”
Even with childish provocations, he maintained his composure.
At the same time, the surrounding air changes little by little.
As if spirits were gathering.
However, it is a little different from a spirit. This…
“You die.”
Dan Delian smiled and opened his mouth.
“Okay. Let’s try the black market today.”
