「Risk level 23, huh… Although, it’s a little hard for me to understand what that number actually means.」

“The previous administration should’ve transferred all their data to you, though, Kumagawa-kun…”

「Oh, that? I burned all that up,」 said Kumagawa-kun casually.

It was so casual that it almost sounded like a joke, but I was able to understand that it wasn’t.

Although we hadn’t known each other for very long, I knew that Kumagawa-kun wouldn’t make a joke like that⁠—no, perhaps I should say that I knew that, to him, reality itself was a joke.

「It’s what they call, the ‘burning of books and burying of scholars’, right?」

“Um, no, I think that’s something completely different…”

「Well, I just hate things like that, that are like strategy guides. Monster lists or item lists⁠—I just hate them all. Not knowing what sort of enemy will appear is what makes life boring, right?」

“Yep, that’s true…. Wait, huh?”

Weren’t you usually supposed to end those sentences with, “…that’s what makes life interesting, right?”, was what I’d thought, but perhaps for Kumagawa-kun, boring things were actually what were more interesting.
