《Hunting for jade beauties~ A trash novel》13. The curious case of exploding toilet
Advertisement
Today I go to Santa’s Asshole.
[Quest: print the photo sent by Grimm]
To that end, I will utilize the public printer in school’s library. Yes, even correctional institutions for troubled youth are equipped with such high-tech devices, though most of the time they are unused and gather dust.
Making my way to the library, I can’t help but notice that the premises of the bathroom are warded off with yellow tape, and there are orange cones all around.
[Quest: investigate the case]
“What happened here?”
“Didn’t you hear? Someone threw a firecracker in the toilet and blew it up”
“Debil, it couldn’t have been a firecracker! It must have been something stronger!”
“I think it was a baseball bat!”
“Nah, the cameras would have registered that…”
This is true. This school has a so-called ‘monitoring’ on the corridors, but not in the bathrooms. If students are being beaten up or have their things stolen, no one sees a thing.
But if school property is destroyed, it’s a big deal, and the janny whose office oversees the monitoring system would certainly notice it and report it.
In other words, someone had to use some method that allowed them to go in and out without arousing suspicion, and even meticulous study of nearby cameras wasn’t enough to pinpoint the culprit.
“, perhaps?”
Ahahaha.wav
“You’re a mooooooooron”
Ignoring the high-pitched voice screaming at me, I continue my speculation.
Alternative explanations exist.
For example, what if janny was bribed and deleted or replaced the incriminating recording? Or perhaps the janny is the culprit, I wouldn’t put it past the fatass to do it for the lulz, he did pull a gun on me the other day…
I shrug. Well, I don’t care.
[Quest aborted]
I make my way to the library. In the library, there are countless books, but none of them interest me.

After all, this is a school, and parents and taxpayers alike would be outraged if they learned that school libraries, paid for with THEIR rubles, provide any sort of entertainment to the students.
(this is also why we don’t have school hobby clubs like americans or japanese apparently do)
And thus, the only books available are boring and overly scientific titles such as:
‘Hebrew origin of Serbs’
or
‘The criminal roman catholic project of artifical croatian nation’
...none of which interest me, as history was never my forte.
As I put the paper in and log into my email to find the photo Grimm sent me, I thank god I live in a post-socialist country such as this one and thus don’t have to pay for printing paper like people in aggressively capitalist West do.
[Quest: ‘print the photo send by Grimm’ successful! +10 exp]
Now the search for dope begins for real!

Shade: A Story of the Legacy
Save those you can. Avenge those you can't. In a world where friends are a liability, Night Riders like Shade have none. Riding alone keeps him alive and lets him help those who have no one else. But when a man who was once his friend—and knows the identity he cannot share with the world—chances upon him, Shade makes the mistake of making the smallest personal connection. But friendship can be a double-edged sword, and darkness haunts Shade's steps. Both are outlaws, hunted by those who conquered their nation. Capture means a slow and painful death; living means fighting a guerilla war against overwhelming odds. Shade has never believed in no-win situations, but even the most dangerous man in Evendar can only fight so many battles. Will this be his last? Set in the world of the Legacy, SHADE is a prequel to NIGHT RIDER, available on Kindle Vella.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
