chapter 31
31 – Sherry von Patrick (2)
Roaring Earth.
As if it were reminiscent of hell, all the trees and grass around it turned to ashes.
Sherry looked at the man in front of her eyes standing in the center of it.
Clean-looking black hair.
Even though he wore a black eyepatch that covered his eyes, he had distinct features.
Finally, to the perfect proportions.
Probably most of the women would be stunned for a while looking at him.
Because a blind man right in front of him is nothing short of perfect.
-I’ll save you right now. Miss Sherry.
The blind man in front of him looks at himself and says so.
As if to free her brainwashing somehow, he showed a strong will.
At those words, her heart started beating like crazy.
-Thumping.
That time when she was immersed in the afterglow of his words.
– Woo woo woo woo!!
An alarm vibrated in my ear.
Sherry lifted her upper body with her hair that had become a mess.
Then, turning off the alarm crystal ball next to her, she thought for a moment.
-I’ll save you right now. Miss Sherry.
The next moment, Baran’s soft voice resonated in her head.
After that day, every time I dream, a wish comes out.
Despite the fact that it is a dream I have often.
“Ugh…! Why do you think of Baran so much?”
Every morning I woke up with a sense of shame.
Sherry pounded her fist on her pillow for a moment as she recalled her own dark history.
***
After the main episode ended, a week passed.
The performance evaluation was stopped that day.
Most of the monsters on the island died because of Jack.
In a way, it is only natural that the performance evaluation will be stopped because of that.
In that way, the performance evaluation was replaced with just theory.
“Ha ha.”
Sherry let out a deep sigh.
She asks Lisa, who is alone with her, in a voice full of her worries.
“Has the bachelor changed the discipline?”
Actually, Lisa knew Sherry was finished with her probation.
Because she hadn’t heard of it because she had already become close with Sherry before that.
However, the reason she is sighing so much right now is because of her punishment.
So, she had no choice but to ask again.
Sherry shook her head at her question.
“Huh? It’s not like that. It was just her probation.”
“Then why are you sighing so suddenly?”
Lisa tilted her head at Sherry, lost in her thoughts.
Sherry drinks black tea.
Within, she says in her serious voice.
“Yes. This is my friend’s story.”
“A friend?”
“Yes! Friend!”
Her eyes twinkle as if to emphasize that she is her friend.
At first glance, it sounds like your story, but it’s polite to pretend you don’t know about these things.
She listened and answered.
“Yes, so why is that friend?”
“That’s what my friend said he thinks of a guy every day.”
“?!”
At those words, Lisa’s eyes widened.
Soon, she asked a question.
“So what?”
“Ah, yes. And every time I see her, her heart beats and I feel warm. And she says something can’t make eye contact with her.”
Lisa’s eyes instantly became a predator that found its prey.
If you listen to that now, wouldn’t it be that Sherry fell in love!
‘Sherry’s unrequited love!’
Who is she?
Aren’t you the daughter of one of the four great families on the Manchester continent?
On the cliff, called a flower, men passing by look at her every time.
She is now telling her own story with her womanly face.
Curious, Lisa asked with her eyes shining.
“Yes, yes! So!”
“And they say that they dream of him every time.”
How much do you love the man you have a crush on in your dreams every day?
Unable to contain her curiosity, she directly asked a question.
“So, who is the man you have a crush on?”
“Uh, hmm. I didn’t hear it because it was a friend’s story, but he said he had bad eyesight. And they say they use bows too.”
“········.”
The next moment, a man comes to mind in Lisa’s mind.
A man using a bow while covering his eyes with a black eyepatch.
I noticed at once that the man Sherry was talking about was Baran just by looking at it.
“What should I do?”
Then, Sherry wiggled her hand and asked, blushing.
Lisa had no idea how to answer that question.
Because in Baran’s case, he couldn’t see.
‘No. How should I answer?’
Normally, she would have mentioned her appearance normally.
However, no matter how much she decorates, how will Baran see Sherry’s appearance?
To be honest, even if you only wear underwear, there is nothing that Baran will notice.
“First of all, when did your friend say the last time you had a conversation with him?”
“Uh, as far as I remember, a week ago was the last time…”
A week ago, it was the day of the performance evaluation.
In other words, since that day, Sherry is saying that she hasn’t spoken to Baran even once!
“That, you can’t do that!”
“Uh, huh?”
“You said you liked it, but it was a week ago that we had a conversation!”
Sherry is embarrassed by Lisa’s sudden anger.
Sherry, not expecting to be so angry, rolled her eyes.
“Let it go now!”
“Yes, yes!”
To Lisa’s pressure, Sherry straightened her back and answered.
However, she wondered why Lisa thought she was herself, but she ran towards the training ground where she was supposed to be.
“Before that, do the math before you go!”
She didn’t even pay for the cafe drink.
***
A week has passed since the main episode.
I quietly watched the status window in front of me.

The talent you possess.

After the main episode, he became strong enough to be on a different level than before.
First of all, the abilities and levels are beyond words.
With just one quest, I got 5 upgrades instead of 1.
Now it is possible to possess without doping.
Because of doping. It reminds me.’
On the day of the performance evaluation, I thought I was going to die from the side effects after the incident was over.
She knew the pain would be severe, but she never thought it would be a twisting pain.
‘I wonder if Kanya is still suffering from aftereffects.’
It’s only because I leveled up that I can move properly now.
If I hadn’t leveled up, I would have been still struggling just like Kanya.
– It’s been a long time since I’ve come out. The stuffiness disappears.
At that moment, Miroel breathes in the outside air and smiles at the world with a comfortable smile.
Due to her possession, she was imprisoned in the Palace of the Beginning for a week.
I don’t know what’s going on inside, but looking at the reactions, it doesn’t seem like a good place.
-Anyway, I got stronger in a week. Disciple?
“Is that so?”
-Yes. That’s enough to be able to use Type 2 without possession.
At those words, I quietly nodded.
Actually, I tried it once yesterday to warm up my body.
As a result, type 2 space arrows were actually used.
Of course.
-Compared to when he was possessed, his power will be infinitely weak. The street won’t be that wide either.
“Yes, it is. How much can I possess right now?”
– Mmm. I see 15 seconds is the limit.
Miroel asserts that he can only use it for 15 seconds.
This is also a story when it is in full condition.
If you use it during a fight, it should take about 10 seconds at most.
‘It must be difficult to use in practice.’
Even if you use it, I wonder if it should be used as a secret weapon.
‘Then let’s think about a plan.’
There is something I realized after the last main episode.
No matter how passively I act, the butterfly effect will eventually happen.
If you’re going to do this, I think it’s better to just act proactively.
If you acted like that, wouldn’t there have been better results? Growth would have been better.
‘What was the episode after that?’
A field trip episode that will happen soon.
In a case like this, the route will be different depending on who the main character chooses.
If it were me before, even if I die, I wouldn’t be involved with the supporting and main characters.
However, there are people who have thought of this.
None other than Lilia, who is called the daughter of the El Dorado Company.
You have to help her this time.
‘That way, the El Dorado episode will be easy.’
So, this time you have to pair up with Lillia.
‘And let’s see.’
I slowly recalled an episode during the first semester.
Student Council commissioned.
Sacred Federation School trip.
Final exam episode.
There are about three main episodes like this.
In particular, the last final exam is a big episode just like the performance evaluation.
So, before that, you should actively prepare.
‘After all, the episodes over there are all for preparing for final exams.’
That time when I was thinking for a while and making plans.
-Come to think of it, can’t you see that woman?
Miro El looks around her.
The woman she spoke of was none other than Sherry.
Originally, she would be training hard by now, but lately she’s been avoiding me.
‘No. Why are you avoiding it?’
As I pondered such a question, Miro El, who was next to her, let out a pleasant snort.
-Huh. It’s been a long time since I’ve been alone with my disciple.
“If you go into the room anyway, the two of you are alone every day.”-
That, that’s it. But there were very few cases where the two of us were alone outside like this.
She retorts, waddling her arms.
It seems that he was quite lonely, probably because he was confined to the palace of the beginning.
-Chit!
Then, Miroelle suddenly starts kicking her tongue.
Knowing her mind, I turned her head toward the cause of her tongue.
The next moment, Sherry, hiding behind her post and sticking out her face, was reflected in her field of vision.
‘No, why is he hiding there?’
She was the one who avoided me until yesterday.
However, she suddenly hides behind her post and stares at me.
What the hell is she doing? She used high-speed movement.
“Ugh, how do I speak naturally? Where did you go…”
“Miss Sherry?”
“Kyaaa?!”
At my call, she screams as if she has seen a ghost.
How the hell is she so surprised that she even jumps.
I was embarrassed for nothing and scratched my cheek.
Soon, I asked a question.
“Are you okay?”
“Uh, uh! Are you okay! Hello Baran! What a nice day!”
No, this is indoors. What are you talking about?
There are no windows, so you can’t even see the weather outside. What the hell is that talking about?
She was a little taken aback by her gibberish, and gave it a go.
“The weather is nice.”
“That, isn’t it?”
“Yes, more than that, do you have any business with me?”
“Uh, uh, that’s…”
Her eyes go round and round.
I thought it was because I had something to do, but seeing that he was so flustered, he didn’t have anything to say.
‘Really, why did you come?’
That was the time when I had such a question.
-Ugh!
Suddenly, a vibration sounded from Sherry’s subspace pouch.
She came to her senses and took out her crystal ball from her space bag.
The next moment.
– Flinch!
Her face suddenly hardened.
Let’s look quietly to see who the hell contacted us.
‘Hmm?’
The person who contacted her was Sherry’s father, Gray, who was the head of the Patrick family.
