The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 401

Chapter 401: Escapists

Well, to be fair, for certain individuals, it did feel like doomsday had suddenly arrived.

Only this time, doomsday had horns, hooves, and a shocking love for expensive herbs.

Because standing right in the middle of the newly established spiritual herb garden was the goat.

The "demonic" goat.

It was another horrific moment as the goat bleated as if to mock the redhead as he chewed on another medical shrub that would probably cost enough to sponsor a small civilization.

Jax, frozen in place, stared in pure horror.

"That’s a medicinal-grade recovery bloom!"

CHOMP.

Another leaf disappeared into the goat’s mouth with a crunch that sounded personal.

Left with no choice, Jax called on D-29 to inform Luca about this terrible scenario of an escape artist managing to bypass the security of the cow’s barn where the goat was temporarily staying.

Elder Pao Xi ended up apologizing since he figured it must have been his mistake, only for Luca to start wondering how a goat could escape such an automated facility.

Wait.

"Jax, did you actually continue installing security cameras in the barn?" asked Luca, who suddenly remembered when Jax asked if he could install surveillance so they could regularly check on Lulu and her friends.

It was then that Jax remembered to check his terminal to see if it had caught something, and what do you know?

There it was.

D-64.

The uncanny assistant who was caught red-handed.

The tiny round system body had slowly, very carefully, rolled toward the door. Then waited. Then physically wedged itself in the frame so Elder Pao Xi couldn’t shut it all the way.

And the moment the elder turned his back, the goat slipped out like a fuzzy shadow.

The room fell silent.

Everyone could not believe how that had been possible. The baby system had always been following D-29 or Sid around, save for when Luca needed D-29 as a system instead of a mecha.

So no one knew what to say as they all watched footage of the baby system rolling forward with glee and headbutting the goat like it was congratulating it on winning its freedom.

Surely, this couldn’t be happening to them, right?

But it was, and while it was right to discipline D-64 for this, just how were they going to do that?

Also, it didn’t feel right to scold the baby system, especially after it rushed to surround and play with the goat the moment it was called to "explain" itself.

They ran in small circles. The goat chased it. It beeped happily. They both flopped down near the brush pile like they hadn’t just committed grand herbicide.

"..."

"..."

"So, is this some sort of mutiny? A coup?" Kyle looked at what would normally look like a touching scene before him, but couldn’t help but worry since their last experience with a goat wasn’t exactly the most peaceful one.

"Uhm, I don’t think so...But if I remember correctly, it may be because goats are normally herd animals and would need companions or they would get...lonely"

Well, lonely was lonely, but D-29 was unimpressed. "That was a bad thing. A very bad thing. Worse, you even got caught!"

D-64 drooped immediately.

It beeped twice, then slowly rolled toward Luca with little side flaps lowered like it was pouting.

It paused by his leg, then lightly nudged his ankle in a clear attempt at a silent apology.

Luca crouched. "You’re sorry?"

Another beep.

Soft. Ashamed. Adorably guilty, and all learned from the shows that it has been watching with D-29.

Luca sighed. "...Okay. But no more letting out goats."

D-64 spun once in agreement, then hurried back to its goat friend.

Considering this situation, Luca stared at the goats before turning to Elder Pao Xi to ask whether it would be best to get one or two more goats.

Elder Pao Xi chuckled. "Well, that’s because your current goat is a buck. These are does." _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}
