I Became a Villain who Receives Obsession

31 – Practical lessons (3)

“hehehe… hehehe… uh… ”

“ruler.”

“Go, thank you… ”

Elaine took the water bottle I gave her and drank it all at once.

After taking a few deep breaths to even out her breathing, she handed the empty water bottle back to me.

I stared pitifully at Elaine, who was panting with her hands on her knees.

“I didn’t know you’d have this much stamina.”

“Bae, the Count is amazing… How can you go without a break for two hours… .”

Elaine and I had arrived in a forest outside the capital where a practical class was taking place.

It was located in the middle of a fairly steep mountain, so it required a certain amount of physical strength to climb up, but thanks to the monster-like body of Altein, I wasn’t too tired.

“Huh… Ugh.”

Except for one person, of course.

He followed me without saying anything, so I thought it was okay, and I ran all the way to the middle at once, and I was in that state.

If you’re having a hard time, at least talk. Didn’t you want me to worry because you were unnecessarily considerate?

“So, shouldn’t you have said to take a break on the way?”

“how… it can be… there is. Whoa… .”

“In a situation like this, we have an obligation to properly check each other’s condition. If even one person is not in the right condition, it will be difficult to accomplish the task.”

“… yes.”

Elaine answered while lying on a nearby rock and looking up at the sky.

Between the uniforms she had unraveled, the part of the shirt near her chest that rose thickly rose and fell quickly.

Lying on a rock like an octopus caught in a fishing net, her hands and feet swaying, she was the exact opposite of the saintess who would catch a demon in the future.

“Well, take a break for a while. It doesn’t seem necessary to go into the woods.”

“Nue… ?”

Ignoring Elaine, who answered with a weak voice and nodded, I stared at the entrance to the forest in front of me.

Freesia Academy Practice Place

Because it is located in the middle of the mountain, I almost got lost.

In the game, I thought it was close because it teleported, but most of them were about to fall out on the way.

Compared to that, I have to admit Elaine’s evil spirit.

Practical lessons include going from the academy gym to the practice area.

Teams arriving early were more likely to find their badges quickly, so this was also part of the evaluation.

Originally, you could go in now and go to the place where the badge is, but… .

‘Where is it?’

The problem is I don’t know.

In the first place, when Siegfried was in the forest, the person he found came out.

Therefore, going in now is of no use.

Elaine won’t be able to move yet either.

That doesn’t mean I want to give up.

Anyway, in order to raise Elaine in the F class, I need points.

And even if you don’t know where the badge is, the guy looking for it knows.

This is an easy way to find badges without using magic.

‘What a joke of fate this is.’

Laughter leaked out without me knowing.

If you wait here, it will probably come out.

This is an opportunity to blow your nose without touching it.

It is also an opportunity for revenge.

I sat at Elaine’s bedside and waited for him to arrive.

Elaine fell asleep right after exhausting all her energy in climbing up.

I felt a bit sorry for coming up at my own pace, so I decided to leave it to sleep.

From the beads of sweat on her forehead and wet bangs, you could tell how much she had overworked herself.

I brushed her bangs over so that she could cool off a little faster, and continued to watch down the mountain.

Do you feel like 10 minutes have passed?

Heinz and Siegfried’s group arrived in a row.

“Whoa! is everyone okay? After taking a little break here… Uh, there was Altein-kun too?”

Wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, Siegfried approached me with a smile.

He looked at Elaine lying behind me and asked me.

“What’s behind… Surely it was Miss Elaine?”

“You know that. Have you ever had a conversation?”

“yes? Ahh… what is it Come to think of it, it’s the first time I’ve talked to Altane-kun. Oh, should I call you Count?”

“no. There is no need for that.”

“Ahahahaha. okay.”

Siegfried casually sits on the opposite bench and talks to me. Next to him sits a girl who looks a bit tired.

I was holding on to the pelvis area as if my back was uncomfortable.

‘You haven’t talked to Heinz yet… .’

Originally, we would have talked a few times as we climbed the mountain.

The fact that they came up together was close to the love affair, but there was a subtle difference.

Perhaps, if it hadn’t been for me, he might have been talking to Heinz here.

Looking at the overlapping traffic lines, the two will know one day.

It doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a big deal since it seems to be going as it should.

Just like in the original work, they call me Altane.

Heinz, who doesn’t sweat a drop, and a slender man with a tortoiseshell figure following him.

They went straight to the practice area.

Seeing this, Siegfried murmured.

“Was it Mr. Heinz? That’s a little scary.”

“is it?”

“Eh. it’s not like that? It’s big, but it’s a bit impressive… .”

but.

It’s hard to believe that that face is 20 years old.

Usually you have one or two fast-growing friends around you, but Heinz went beyond that.

It’s hard to adapt easily to the rugged body shape and scarred face that anyone can see.

Even I was dumbfounded when I saw Heinz’s profile.

“Ahahahaha! I mean I thought so too. Didn’t Altane-kun do the same?”

“Well, usually those guys are gentle on the inside, so Heinz isn’t such a bad guy either.”

“Like Altain-kun?”

“what?”

“No, it seems that Altane-kun is also different from the rumors.”

Perhaps because of his mood, Siegfried’s green eyes, who were staring at me with his chin resting on his chin, seemed to deepen.

As if looking into the inside, the feeling is profound yet unknown.

The appearance was somewhat different from the innocent appearance of the game.

‘Is it like this?’

I didn’t have many opportunities to see myself in the game, so I didn’t know much about Siegfried.

Still, one thing is certain: the main character, Siegfried, is like a country boy.

Can’t stand injustice, puts 100 percent effort into trifles,

I’m not giving up!-

Somehow, it sounds like this is a character that would suit this kind of dialogue.

It’s a typical royal road protagonist.

“Well. You don’t know that.”

“no. i can tell That Altean-kun is ‘different’.”

“… ?”

Siegfried leans back on the bench with an eerie smile.

He put his hand on the shoulder of the girl next to him and continued.

“Doesn’t everyone live with a secret in their heart? Me too, Altane-kun too.”

“… There is no one without it.”

“Depending on the light and shade of that secret, you can, even vaguely, judge that person’s good or evil, right?”

“What do you want to say?”

I don’t know what a fortuneteller is talking about.

Like the atmosphere and the way he spoke, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of déjà vu.

“Ooh… .”

Elaine, who had been sprawled out, shrank like a shrimp and grabbed my jacket.

Seeing him sleeping comfortably with his forehead uncovered made me think, “Should I hit him for the night?”

If I see you like this for no reason, I want to bully you.

“hahahaha. Miss Elaine seems to follow Altane-kun well.”

“I just stretched out because I was tired.”

“Still, isn’t it because Altane-kun is so trustworthy that he sleeps on a mountain like this?”

“Okay.”

I shrugged and let out Siegfried’s words.

Certainly, Elaine approached me without hesitation, whatever my gossip.

Among many, many people, why me?

‘Because of the entrance ceremony?’

It was said that it was a dangerous situation, but could you follow it like this with just that? Moreover, although it is consequential, even if I hadn’t stepped forward, Raina or Bella would have helped.

And with her personality, she should be able to get along with anyone in Class A.

There is no reason for you to come to me simply to repay the favor.

As I was thinking about this, I felt that the surroundings were gradually becoming noisy.

I didn’t hear back from Siegfried about what I said earlier… More and more kids are arriving, so let’s ask if there’s a chance later.

Then this unknown feeling of déjà vu will disappear.

Siegfried stood up from his seat, as if he had heard the sound of a nearby commotion.

“Oops. We’ll go soon too. Altean-kun yet?”

“… As you can see.”

“If you come too late, they will find all your badges?”

I only have that one badge.

Waving my hand, I gave Siegfried a quick glance as he headed toward the forest, then lifted Elaine’s hair, who was sleeping behind me as if it were my own bedroom.

Elaine’s gray hair, as soft as silk, was addictive to the touch.

I hope you spend time twisting and tying knots and playing with your hands for a long time.

“Believe me. Because there is a way.”

“Yeah, but… .”

“Hey. Just follow me quietly.”

A portrait of two people seen from a distance.

A brown-haired man with a parted hair and a black-haired man almost being dragged by him.

I saw Hans, his little boy, and Alt.

‘It’s finally here.’
