I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160
Estelle Hadassa El Ras (2)
The feeling of bare skin touching bare skin is not that familiar.
The soft skin you’re born with is maintained throughout your life, and becomes pleasantly smooth. The more you touch it, the more you want to adhere to it.
As I stroke my soft pelvis and move up, I want to hug my lumbar spine and pull it towards me.
“Are you awake?”
When I think about it, she liked looking at my sleeping face.
“Hmm…”
When I open my eyes, a sleeping woman comes into view.
Lovely pink hair and exposed shoulders. Below that…
“…Oh my gosh.”
The bare skin we touched all night was warm and muggy. My last memory was of falling into a sewer, which appears to have been an emergency measure to prevent hypothermia.
The soft and warm feeling was so pleasant that I wanted to stay like this for a while.
‘Still, it’s warmer than I thought.’
It’s bitterly cold outside. The Iron Islands bordering North Kingdom have winter all year round, regardless of the season.
Even if you find a place to avoid the cold wind, it’s warmer than you think.
“…….”
The magic power is draining away. It was all in a lump…
It must have been a full night, but rather than recovering, did it come off? Is this the curse of Finbenaha that Master spoke of?
────!!
Light is flowing from the horn of a unicorn left nearby. Yes, the unicorn’s horn has the ability to purify curse poison. At least it’s safe to say that the curse on my body has been lifted…
Then why on earth is my magic power… Ah.
“Uuuh……”
Estelle opens her wet eyes. I met emerald green eyes.
“Good morning.”
“…….”
Estelle’s cheeks felt hot as if they were on fire as she greeted her awkwardly.
“This will be a high price to pay.”
“…Cancer.”
No matter how I think about it, I benefit. cancer. Anyway.
“wake up.”
“yep.”
While Estelle was putting on the uniform she was covering, I turned my gaze towards the bonfire and saw my shirt being rolled up.
“I owe you yesterday.”
“Well… I’m the one who came to save you, so of course. Are you okay, junior?”
At those words, I traced the wound that had been pierced by Skyes. Some of the clothing was torn and traces of bleeding were visible, like a bandage. It didn’t really matter because of the regenerative ability, but I still appreciated the sincerity.
“There is no problem at all with my activities.”
“Really? Then let’s get out of this island quickly.”
“It’s going to be difficult right now.”
“Yes?”
At my words, Estelle’s voice momentarily weakened.
“The security has probably been heightened because of our incursion. The ports are obviously blocked, and due to the nature of the Iron Islands, the number of beasts that can fly is limited.”
This is why the kingdom’s army cannot mobilize Wyverns in droves. Most wyverns freeze in the cold, so for proper air transportation, the number of passengers is required.
“So there’s no way to escape at all?”
I shook my head at Estelle’s words.
“There are about two things.”
It’s not the right method, but it’s probably the best in this situation.
“The first is to be trapped here for a long time. About 20 days? We will hold out until the kingdom’s army lands in earnest and destroys the magic tower.”
“I don’t think the Magic Tower would be so stupid that it wouldn’t find us for 20 days.”
yes. It is a choice that is largely left to chance. There is a way to get food, but I don’t want to reveal the location just yet.
“The second is to go north from here.”
“Um… isn’t this the northern part of the island?”
“…….”
“No way.”
Estelle frowned and bit her lower lip. Even though I guessed it, I looked to check it again.
“Cross the Channel. To be exact, to the Dingle Peninsula in the North Kingdom beyond the Iron Islands.”
“Are you crazy? You said it yourself.”
“It’s frozen all year round. If you find the right point to cross, you can surprisingly cross.”
The problem is that you will inevitably encounter the ‘Giant Excavation Team’ along the way.
If you’re lucky, you might be able to discover it before the wizards, as the subjugation of the magic tower began earlier than the history of the nuclear power plant.
Above all, it is difficult to hope for additional structure. It’s a problem even if you come in the first place. How will we find ourselves in this iron island, and how will we escape?
It is more likely that a small number of people will be able to resist the pursuit.
“Haa~”
Estelle sighed lightly and slowly shook her head.
“Should we find some food first before that?”
“You adapt quickly to situations.”
“Because stamping your feet won’t give you the answer. I can’t make a living here with my junior.”
I felt it from the previous episode, but the princesses have very wild personalities.
Mir is probably like that because she goes around stomping on wolves, and Estelle is probably because she protects demons or interrogates heretics.
Both sisters are bound to be accustomed to difficult situations.
“I agree that we should find food first. After we fill our bellies, we will leave at night.”
“why?”
“I’m going to look at the constellations and head north.”
“Can you see the stars?”
“Because I don’t have any talent, I learned a lot of things.”
In the previous episode, I learned all sorts of things to survive.
“Well, saintess, please rest here. Let’s go out and get something to eat.”
“Uh, junior? With that body?”
“I’m all better.”
“No, but… Are you really healed? Oh, really?”
As Estelle takes off the clothes that served as bandages, her voice leaks as if she is amazed at the exposed body. Then he picked up a red spear and hurriedly chased after me.
“What’s wrong? It’s inside. It’s cold.”
“It’s okay because it’s a uniform with a cold spell on it.”
Seeing that he’s giggling, he seems to be doing really well.
Even though it is summer, Estelle is wearing only a thin suit of clothing in this cold land and the steel islands that are as strong as winter.
It may not be a good combination, but it is not the time to worry about others.
“Ah, why are my palms so cold? I’ll have to cast the spell again later.”
Who would think that this person, who melts his cold palms into his armpits, is a saint?
* * * *
“Gasp…!”
Pure white snow field. As if it were a protective coloring, a rabbit stuck in the snow was nuzzling cutely at the grass in the snowball.
“It’s so cute! It’s so cute! It’s so cute!”
Estelle tried to capture the cute creature in her emerald eyes.
The rabbit in her eyes, blessed with naturally good eyesight, is as innocent as a child playing in heaven. What about big, erect ears?
I almost want to invite that angel to my garden──
-Quick!
Squeak! The residents of the snowy field who are crying out loud and crying tears of blood.
A red spear pulled out indifferently. The eyes of the rabbit lifted into the air, holding its pricked ears, met Estel’s.
-I will curse you. I curse you humans…!
They were bloody tears that seemed to be pouring out a bitter curse.
“You’re lucky. I wonder if there are other rabbits around here.”
“Devil…”
“What do you mean?”
“Do you really have to eat rabbits? They’re cute…”
“Once they enter the stomach, they are all digested the same way.”
After that, Corin caught one more rabbit.
“Hey… I’m sorry, rabbit. I’m sorry, my squirrel friend too…”
“Saint, try holding on to your legs.”
“Huh? Now wait a minute!”
Although Estelle was shocked, Corin calmly gave the following instructions.
“Spread the rabbit’s legs wide and secure them. That way, it will be easy to take it off.”
“Huh? Take it off? What?”
Corin put her fingers into the leg bones of the sheep that had already been cut and pulled them out. Estelle almost fell forward from the force of the moment, but was able to hold on because she had prepared in advance.
-Boo!
“uh?”
The leather peeled off in an instant. The exposed raw flesh had no trace of its previous innocent cuteness.
“I’m not eating this.”
“Oh, it’s not that I’m a picky eater. This squirrel is so frozen that I can’t even clean it well.”
Unlike rabbits, Corin cuts off the fur of squirrels that freeze quickly with a spear blade, like peeling fruit.
By scraping and cleaning the frozen intestines, I was able to prepare the meat to put on wooden skewers.
“It may be bland because there is no salt, but the fat has risen well, so it will be edible.”
“Ah, you’re not eating? I want to eat the raspberries I picked up…!”
While Corin was hunting, Estelle proudly brought out the fruits and raspberries she had picked.
But how can something like fruit compare to meat?
Estelle’s boat horn sent out signals one after another as the smell of rabbit and squirrel skewers were cooking.
-Growl!
“Why don’t you just eat it?”
“…Would you like to just have a bite?”
……
…
“Hehehe! Rabbit, I’m sorry…! I’m so sorry…!”
* * * *
Estelle realized that not being able to manifest her sexual power was more inconvenient than she could imagine.
If you cannot use the power of prayer, you are like a burden. Estelle knew this well, so she found out what to do on her own.
Estelle was often involved in front-line work, such as interrogating heresy or rescuing persecuted demons, so she was used to somewhat rough work.
‘It was only for a moment, but my strength came back.’
Estelle’s power lies in making her wishes come true through prayer.
However, this does not mean that you have to pray to activate it. If there is something she needs, such as the environment, instincts, reflexes, etc., her sexual power is applied to herself according to the environment.
When the rain and wind were rough, the water kept my skin dry, and when I was rescuing survivors from a burning house, the fire did not harm a single hair of my head.
However, after the sacred power was sealed, this heavenly protection did not work. Except last night.
To prevent Corinne from dying of hypothermia, I took off my clothes and touched her skin to skin, warming her up with my own body heat.
Your body temperature should naturally go down, but strangely, it actually went up.
Like a warm glow that surrounds you when you pray.
It is as if the Lord, whose existence we have not yet confirmed, is right in front of us.
‘that’s interesting. Is it because my junior has the Holy Relic of the Sun?’
I know he has one of the four sacred treasures of the cult.
From the time we investigated that the undead city of Nazrea, which had long been a scourge of mankind, was purified in an instant.
That may be why my brother is obsessed with Corin Locke.
Symbolism.
What we are seeing from Estelle, her younger brother, and Corinne must be such symbolism. The owner of the sacred item bestowed by the Lord, the hero of the church.
Both Estelle and Miriam realized that they would have to take this political symbolism to their side at some point.
“Here you go. There’s squirrel meat and fruit in it, so chew it every now and then. That way you won’t get hungry.”
Skilled. Unlike Estelle, whose homelessness was talked about by those around her, he was carrying out the necessary actions correctly.
“But if other people see it, it looks a bit funny.”
Corrin’s appearance was quite comical.
They wrap themselves in rabbit and squirrel skins to protect themselves from the cold. Estelle, on the other hand, was wearing the same clothes that exposed her armpits and thighs.
Wouldn’t someone look at them and think, “What a bunch of crazy bitches.”
“I’m Lady First, but I’m freezing to death at this rate. Please take this spear instead.”
Corin handed Estelle the red spear of the two spears. The red spear is Derg. It is a javelin for hunting animals.
“If you see an animal, throw this with all your might. To some extent, the spear will fly to hunt beasts on its own.”
“Wow, is it a magic spear?”
“It’s similar.” It’s
a shame that she doesn’t have her favorite mace, but it’s still nice to have at least one spear. Estelle is willing to take Corin’s red spear. I accepted it…
“Oh my!”
I was startled by the cold red spear that was colder than expected and missed it.
-Boo!
The red spear that I missed cut Estelle’s shoulder. It was a light touch that was enough to tear her clothes. But… …..
-Paang!
“Huh?”
A sudden chill rushes in. Swishing through my bare feet, thighs, and armpits! A rushing cold wind hits Estelle.
“Hugh…! It’s so cold!”
“…….”
Corin remained silent for a while as he looked at Estelle, who was jumping up and down and shaking like an aspen tree. The
difficulty of this journey has just jumped significantly.
………. ..
………
……
They are making fun of themselves.
Estelle deeply regretted saying this. No
way did she know that the red spear that Corin used to hunt animals had the power of perm. How could anyone know?
Estelle, whose clothes had been cut by a red spear, had lost the cold protection spell on them, and was exposed to the harshness of Mother Nature without any protection. “Wait. Don’t go
near the bonfire.”
The rabbit I was wearing. Wow, Toshido, Corin, who gave up to Estelle and left, did not come back even after several hours.
“Junior? “I’m junior… I’m scared…”
Estelle gradually began to get scared as she was left alone in the cave. A
strong wind blowing from outside made the cave rumble, and the bonfire shook violently, and it was hard for her to do anything. All I can do is warm myself in front of the bonfire as much as possible.
“Ugh… Lord. Please make sure that our junior… no, junior Corin Locke, comes back safely.” ”
And if you can do something about this cold, I’ll go back and begin the thousand-billionth sacrifice!” ”
Are you really not going to listen? Normally, I hope you will listen even if I do it roughly!”
Even if God heard it, it was a prayer that would have been scolded for being clueless, but the universe seemed to have responded to my earnest heart when I heard a shout from the entrance.
“Corin… Junior?” I spoke
cautiously, wondering if he might be the pursuer of the Tower of Magic. Estelle said. But something large he dropped made her almost scream.
“Is this… a sheep?
What Corin caught was a sheep that stuck out its tongue and died instantly.
“I’m going to cut up this guy’s skin and use it as a coat and sleeping bag, so please bear with the stomachache.”
“Ugh, I’ll help you with the grooming.”
I thought I must have caught a sheep outside, but I felt sorry when I thought that I had been walking around for hours in this cold weather to catch an animal that could be harvested for its skin.
The two people obtained sheep leather with plenty of blood left in it.
“……”
“……It’s small.”
“……I know.”
The sheepskin, carefully and frugally cut from the neck to the ends of the legs, is large enough for one person to use, but difficult for two people to cut and use.
“I can’t help it. I’ll cover it with rabbit and squirrel skins, so the saintess…”
“You can’t do that!”
“Saint?”
“Let’s come up with an idea! There’s bound to be a way for the two of us to use it!”
It was too late to go out hunting again. Considering the pursuit of the Magic Tower, we must leave immediately.
Estelle didn’t want to waste any more time that had already been lost because of me, and an idea immediately flashed in her mind.
“Okay! I thought of it! A way for the two of us to use it!”
