**Day 28 Morning Inn White Weirdo**
Everyone gathered for breakfast, same as always—Haruka-kun completely surrounded.
How incredibly happy it is that we can all be together like this.
Everyone must be feeling the warmth and joy of this morning meal.
But today, breakfast is the usual: Haruka-kun encircled. Full siege formation.
During breakfast, everyone's subtly probing him.
We already know he's the culprit before he even commits the crime, but we'll at least let him talk.
Let's hear what he's planning to do, what he's about to mess up, before he does something irreversible and everything goes to hell.
Apparently he was trying to head to the dungeon yesterday.
"Hey hey, Haruka-kun, are you going into the dungeon?"
"Yeah, prep's done? Want treasure chests? Or like… going to the treasure chests? Kinda?"
Going to the treasure chests? Meaning heading straight for them, probably? Kinda?
"You're really going alone? It's dangerous, you know? Probably?"
We're trying to stop him, but that last part… probably…
"I need something that's probably in the dungeon… like that?"
He needs something? What more could he possibly be planning?
"Need something? Like an item that's in the dungeon?"
Right—why is he saying he has to search for it in the dungeon instead of just buying it?
"Dungeon drop? Dungeon exclusive? Like… dungeon-limited prize? Apparently?"
Dungeon-limited prizes? Exclusive dungeon merch on limited sale? Is there a line? Overnight campers at the dungeon entrance?
"But even if you find weapons or gear, you can't use them, right? Your level's not high enough…"
Yeah, Haruka-kun's level isn't even 20 yet. Any weapons or equipment he finds should be useless… unless… a ring? …That one?
"Apparently dungeon items are surprisingly usable? Pretty much?"
We got mad at him for wasting money before, but those shady accessories are the only reason he survived. If he didn't have them… he wouldn't have made it. Without them he'd have died before reaching town… But… we don't need those, right? We don't need…
Because… why… why is he trying to raise… opposite-sex… opposite-sex favorability!!
"So? Haruka-kun? What exactly are you looking for? You're not gonna say something like… pheromone ring… right?!"
Haruka-kun is shaking his head with the suspicious aura of a ventriloquist dummy.
"N-n-n-n-n-no w-w-w-way Yo?! Eh? What's that? What I'm looking for is the Fe-Fe-Fe-Solomon Ring Yo?! N-no, really Yo! For real Yo! It lets you t-t-talk to animals Yo?! Maybe even gobs Yo?! Yeah Yo? Definitely Yo! So-So-So-Solomon, Solomon, Solomon get da ze?! Kinda? Like? Sorta? Apparently? Yo?"
Is he a rapper now? That's beyond stuttering—his tongue's fine! The "Yo" isn't even getting autocorrected anymore! Misconversion?
So yeah… that thing's apparently in the dungeon… Should we just destroy the dungeon?
What even is it? Opposite-sex favorability? What is it really?
More importantly—what exactly are you planning to have a deep, heartfelt all-night conversation about with the kobolds?!
You massacred them before they could even open their mouths, right?
Every kobold you "knew" is dead, right?
You didn't give them a single chance to talk, right?
You clearly have zero intention of chatting, right?
No doubt about it! Emergency meeting required!!
Emergency assembly!
We have to destroy the dungeon fast!?
Emergency countermeasure meeting.
Emergency demolition order!!
