I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 257
Side Story Familiar (1)
The long winter is over and late spring has arrived.
However, the traces of winter did not disappear without a trace.
The snow piled high on the roof has not yet melted, and monsters that have awakened from their long winter sleep are belatedly awakening.
The great war is over, but the world is still in chaos.
In this situation, knights and wizards are valuable human resources, as they are called everywhere. Even if it is an academy student.
With great power comes great responsibility. I promised myself that I would willingly burn this body for the suffering citizens.
“So… you’re saying you couldn’t come to a conclusion and jumped out?”
“This chewy bush.”
Lark and Jaeger. Two people on the wagon staring at me with sad eyes.
“Ugh, these are absurd things. Open your eyes kindly, you guys!”
“You really don’t understand, you bastard.”
Anyway, I have very few ‘male’ friends and I am the only one who is longing for them to meet.
“Huh… Should I consult with the other kids?”
“Do you have any significant friends other than us? Like Doron or Cranel?”
Lark asks, tilting his head. No, even though it looks like this, I have quite a lot of friends.
“There’s Professor Dana and Professor Lalara. There’s junior Marie Melina, senior Jenna, and Miss Juri. Senior Liel and senior Erza, who graduated this year, are also good counseling partners. Hmm… If it’s a love issue, would Mielle or Claria be more suitable? … There’s also Mrs. Macmillan, who helped me with a cat problem in the past. Anna, that kid is strangely precocious for his age. Still, it’s a bit much to give dating advice to a child under the age of ten.”
“…new names are being added more and more.”
“This is what you call a bastard?”
Two people looking at me with criticism. There seems to be some misunderstanding.
“It’s not like that, you guys! They’re real friends!”
These guys always say things like that. There can be no friendship between a man and a woman.
But that’s not the case. I am a living witness right now.
I got along with Younghee, Hanbyul, Seyoung, and Misha Fujiwara like close friends. How close everyone was to me!
-Rat!
The wagon stopped. We arrived at a village not far from the academy.
“Oh, Guardians! You’re here!”
The village chief welcomes us. This is someone I have seen coming and going several times.
“Huh?!”
The village chief looked at me and bowed down.
“O Taeyang…!”
It’s not just the village chief. The residents who had flocked to the visit from outsiders also fell flat on their faces when they saw me.
“”Sun…!””
Jaeger twitched as he looked at the residents falling down all at once.
“So, Savior?”
“Oh my…”
I was saddened by those people.
In fact, Estelle’s advance work was largely responsible for this happening.
In the process of agitating with false prophecies to reject the Catholic eschatology, Estelle arbitrarily added a story about me.
A new sun will descend.
If only this had been the case, it would have been interpreted as a hero who would simply save the times, but Estelle seemed intent on turning me into a god, so she eagerly preached a prophecy that hinted at me.
Above all, most importantly──
“Well, if you saw that, you wouldn’t look like a person.”
“Honestly… I still don’t think you’re human.”
Even Jaeger and Lark reacted this way. The reason is the sun that I sent down to bring light to the world and melt the winter.
The descent of the sun, which warmed the whole world, was witnessed even across continents.
Should humans who are capable of such things really be considered human? I know that there is a lot of discussion about this issue even in the royal capital right now.
“Nothing changes. It’s just that I am a much better person.”
“Oh, you’re unlucky.”
“This part of me is still human.”
The two people started to provide support to the public while murmuring. Well, even if it is to support the public, it means clearing away accumulated snow and dealing with any monsters or spirits that may appear.
Well, it’s close to a kind of volunteer work. The money is only for travel expenses.
“Anyway, is it okay for you to come out like this?”
Jaeger asked me as he scooped out the snow. The answer was given by Lark.
“It’s just buying time. I couldn’t give an answer, so I just ran away. The public support is just an excuse.”
“Tsk…!”
Lark pointed out exactly how I felt.
“But is it really that difficult? Just five… or how many?”
“Senior Marie, Arisha Hwaran Runia, Princess Estelle Miriam… Including Chairman Erin, right? There are seven of us right now.”
Right now? Lark what do you mean by that?!
“There are many. But shouldn’t there be two Dutch ones?”
“Well, in that case, you can’t just choose one person.”
“Then isn’t it a good thing for the Hwaran?”
Polygamy is inevitable…! Jaeger is spouting nonsense. Lark shook his head.
“Actually, if that’s the case, shouldn’t the Aden sisters and princesses be grouped together as one set?”
Lark mentions the two people who are looking for plunder and the princess sisters who are the king’s official ‘take them all!’
“Hey, you can’t miss Marie either. How much wealth does she have? There are dozens of mines and 2 million hectares of farmland.”
“It really feels like reality is gone.”
“And your breasts are huge!”
“…I am so happy that you are my future boss.”
Lark Bergman, who is scheduled to join the new magic tower Dunaref Tower Parachute.
“Still, it’s a waste of time for Alisha. I feel like she could be a model of a wise mother and good wife. She also has a good personality.”
“He’s gentle, but he’s also a little shy, so he’s cute.”
“More than anything, I think I’ll accept you as my concubine since it’s nice to have a nice breeze.”
“……Admit it. Corin is the best wife.”
“What about Hwaran? Look how petty Ran is. I heard she actually caught a person.”
“He’s blunt when he’s angry, but he’s actually cute when he talks to me.”
“Above all, it’s one of the best! Two flavors at the same time!”
“……Anyway, I came up with the idea.”
I looked at the two people talking nonsense with pitiful eyes.
“Hey then, who do you like best?”
“…….”
“In the end, aren’t you going to have to choose someone? Are you going to blame me?”
“That can’t be possible.”
Clearly a choice must be made. You have to make a choice… but the problem is…
『I
do not sit idly by at the misfortune of good people.』
[Practice the precepts.]
From Marie to Master… to everyone except Miriam. System message that appeared.
Yes… the precept I engraved, ‘I do not sit idly by and watch the misfortune of good people.’ This was a precept that also applied to love affairs.
If I choose one, the others become unhappy. The precepts do not allow that!
The reason Miriam was excluded… is probably because, by my standards, Miram is a person who is far from good.
However, it cannot be ruled out as an option. Anyway, you are one of the people who love me.
“The problem lies in the aftermath… If you choose one person, the rest…”
It is against the precepts. I have never experienced a penalty of this magnitude before. That’s because I’ve never broken it before!
Even difficulty level S? I can’t imagine how big the penalty would be for failure.
‘If you think about it by Tates’ standards, it would be at the level of a decrease in strength…’
If you compare it by recalling the information from the original work, it is like that. But in my case it was very different.
As many as six people fall into misfortune. And the difficulty level is S6!
“Well… I don’t think the rest will agree if you pick just one person.”
The two people who don’t know my insides seem to have taken it differently.
“No, what… could there possibly be something?”
I thought about what if. If I choose one person and become my lover, what will other people do?
“…Everyone is nice, so I don’t think there will be any problems?”
“…….”
“……..”
“What is it… what is that look?”
“……no.”
“If you think so, then so be it.”
anyway. To buy time, I postponed my answer and applied for public support.
I signed up for a long-term mission a few days ago, and with this one shot, I’m planning to fill up all of my volunteer work hours this year, so I’ll be able to gain quite a bit of time.
“Is this a one-week public assistance… Well, I can see your intention, but I will allow it.”
Mrs. Josephine also shook her head as if she had read my intention.
‘If I get through this well… I’ll have time to think for a while.’
Marie is now a senior, and Hwaran and Estelle will also be busy with church work. There is nothing to say about Miriam.
Everyone is busy. So, if you don’t see me for a while, you will have more time to think.
‘But is this a problem that can be solved with a lot of time?’
No matter what happens, everyone but one inevitably ends up unhappy, right? Can you solve this?
Damn it… can’t I erase the precepts even now? I never thought that the precepts that had supported me until now would turn on me only after they were all over!
These issues must be discussed with the teacher, and even the teacher is the subject of this precept.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!”
“He’s doing that again. He must be crazy.”
“Leave it alone. The little boy is having such happy worries.”
“I thought it would be like that someday.”
Friends are no help. Everyone just looks at me with criticism, saying I’m a swallow that’s just thinking about happy things.
“Ugh…”
What can I do if I worry about it? I walked towards the village chief, wanting to do whatever I had come to do to help the people and then go back.
“Chief.”
“Oh my goodness, the sun.”
“It’s a burden. Please take it easy.”
“Is that possible? He is the warrior of the sun, as announced by the saint.”
“…….”
What is this sister really working on?
“Anyway, how can I help you first? Should I help you melt the snow first?”
The sun cannot be used.
This is because the sun was overused to melt the world’s winter.
For the time being, I had to focus on recovering my spiritual strength, but I was still able to carve the sun rune and melt the snow that had accumulated in the village.
“Rather than that… yes. There is a wizard who arrived a few days ago.”
“A wizard? That’s strange. There were no guardians dispatched here.”
Now I am the president of the Guardian Association. Well, it was a position that would soon be passed on to someone else, but upon investigation, there were no guardians scheduled to be dispatched to this village.
“She’s a mercenary girl. She happened to be in the village for a while while passing by, and she said she could take care of monsters for a cheap price.”
“is it so?”
The cost of hiring a wizard, even a low-level wizard, is considerable. If this is an amount that a remote village like this can hire… it must be considered either a very low-level wizard or a significant favor.
“You said you were going to find a monster’s nest, but you haven’t come back for two days. You brought camping equipment, but… I’m a little worried because you’re a young woman.”
It wasn’t a situation to be too worried about. If the monster’s nest is a bit big, you need to set aside some work to make sure you don’t miss anything, let alone deal with it.
In particular, unlike knights who can just enter and destroy and kill everyone, wizards may need some preparation work.
“Which way did it go? I’ll go help.”
“Oh, if you’re Taeyang, you can handle it easily. I wonder if we are daring to treat someone so precious.”
“Treat comfortably.”
I left the village chief behind and approached Jaeger and Lark, who were preparing to shovel snow.
“I’ll go to the mountain behind the village.”
“Huh? What? I need runes to clear the snow.”
“Ask Lark. It looks like there’s a monster’s nest. “I’ll handle it lightly.”
“Okay, leave the village to us and you go quickly. Please bring emergency rations?”
“I have mine.”
I left the two of them behind and headed to the place where the wizard girl had disappeared.
The mountain was rough, perhaps because it was an undeveloped area, but it wasn’t difficult to find the monster’s nest.
‘It’s a wild boar-type monster’s nest.’ ‘
They are good at climbing mountains and work in groups. At most, they are level 4 monsters, but they are large in number, so they have to be dealt with right away.
Or, you have to set up a trap and work to prevent them from leaking out to other places.
‘The reason why the wizard didn’t come back soon . ‘There it is.’
There are concerns about forest fires or destruction of nature when controlled with conversational magic. Normally, when subduing small nests like this, ordinary people are more useful than one powerful person. ‘I need to find a
wizard first.’
They must have been working on it for two days, so they must have something ready. I may not have anything to help with, surprisingly.
I was soon able to find the wizard.
“Who are you…!”
The wizard noticed my presence and turned around. I He immediately raised his hand and expressed his intention:
“Wow. Calm down. “I came here because I heard about the village chief.”
“…….”
The wizard girl was pointing at me with a stick and keeping a watchful eye. She was quite… no, quite beautiful. A
brown-haired beauty with a healthy S-line body and a cool coolness. . A strangely familiar face? No, it was an atmosphere.
“I’ve been looking at the monster’s nest for two days, and my nerves have gotten a little tense. Mr. Corin Locke.”
“Do you know me?”
The other person smiled somewhat freshly at those words. She answered as if she was asking something obvious.
“Won’t you recognize the sun?”
“The scale of the rumor is a bit big, right?”
I said . He approached me and offered to shake my hand.
“This is Corinne Locke. I’m a third year at the academy.”
“I think I missed a lot of introductions.”
“I have a lot of titles. Collecting business cards is my hobby.”
First-class magistrate, leader of the Guardians, baron of the kingdom, president of the Guardian Association, etc… I should have been a little busy. “I
haven’t heard of a wizard being dispatched here, but are you a mercenary?”
“I’m new. “I haven’t registered with the association yet.”
“I thought so. If such a beauty had registered, there’s no way I wouldn’t have known.”
“…Can you say it again?”
“Um… I’m sorry if you offended me.”
“No, no, that’s not it. “I just didn’t hear about it.”
Really? If you’re a wizard, you’d have better physical abilities than an ordinary person, right?
Well, anyway, I’ll say it again because I didn’t hear about it.
“I said there’s no way I wouldn’t have known if a beauty like this had registered.”
“Really?”
Although she has a cold expression on her face. Judging by the slightly twisted corners of her mouth and the light pink heat blooming, she seems to be in a good mood. I
think I knew someone who felt that way…who was it?
“That’s right, I didn’t tell you my name.”
The wizard girl held my hand to shake. Somehow, he held on with some strength and said,
“My name is Park Sirin.”
You were from the East, right?
