chapter 24
24 – 24. For Mars
“Don’t fall too easily?”
“…Help me”
“hahahaha! It looks weak anyway, but I’m going to hit it moderately, so don’t be too scared!”
“………..”
My first impression was that it was a shabby anchovy.
“Where to run away!”
“Hey! Hey!”
The fighting spirit like Papa
I didn’t even feel like Mama.
Just an infinitely weak scoundrel
“Got it!”
“Hee, hee hee hee!!!”
It was just such an image.
aaa!!
“What…?!”
“f*ck?!”
But do you have this?
Even after being assigned a dormitory, that scene came to mind every time.
“…What’s wrong?”
I lost to that other bastard?
I can’t admit it. No i don’t admit it
On the day we meet again, let’s break that bastard’s head.
I made a promise to the greatsword locked in both hands.
[Bondage Rank──1 (New)]
[Condition: Win 1:1 Dalian]
…
..
.
“For weapon skills, for physical training…”
“Oh”
After entering the school, I had a hunch that I was lucky.
How can he be in the same class as that bastard?
This was a signal for Ares-sama to step on the nose of that bastard who mistook himself for defeating him.
“I want to die…”
“If you want to die like that, fight with me first and then die.”
“…..Mars?”
I went right away and said
“Let’s practice. Today after school at 6 o’clock, there is a 2nd fitness room? There is a separate training room there, so come there.”
You probably won’t be able to refuse.
I received an application for Dalian among so many people, but I turned it down?
Despicable little bastards and poor little bastards can do that, but isn’t he the one who defeated me once?
Even with common sense, it was clear that sparring was accepted here.
“No”
“Yes, of course if you’re a warrior… You don’t like it?”
“Yes”
“…………”
But what is this bastard?
“Why. Why don’t you want to fight?”
“Because I hate it…”
“No, tell me why!”
“Uh.E.E.E.E”
I don’t understand.
I didn’t understand.
What the hell is this bastard doing?
“Dalian, are you going to do it?”
“…Crazy couplet”
“Wow…”
Such primary criticism
I felt like I was watching the people of Ares Guild.
You’re a strangely likable bastard. Except for the lack of skill.
[Bondage Rank ─ 2 (Up)]
[Condition: Refute against Mars during the story event]
“Ha, that’s all right. If you take a class anyway, you will definitely do sparring, but you can do it then.”
“…………..”
I decided to commit to a later date.
Why don’t you say sparring during class?
“Distance combat lecture, Chrono.
“Hey!!!”
But you cover this up by avoiding class?
What the hell are you doing?
What is it? Say you’ll just avoid me and change your major?
‘…Where do you look like you’re getting points?’
At that moment, it really goes into a life-and-death situation.
…
..
.
“…So, this bastard got the highest score?”
“Yes. It is the only S rank in terms of power, and the only A rank at this point.”
“…………”
Chrono went to take a ranged combat class.
The score is A, and the destructive power is S grade. In other words, what you do best is ranged combat, not close combat.
And I lost to this bastard in close combat——you mean?
“…..Ha”
At this point, nothing but admiration comes out.
What the hell are you doing with this?
[Bond Rank ─ 3 (Up)]
[Condition: Exceed Mars’ abilities in a specific field.]
Even this bastard’s eccentricity does not end here.
“God, I am a weakling”
‘…That’s quite it’
Praying to the main god is what you do right after fainting
He was much better than most of his peers.
So, so, so much
“You, be my colleague”
“…….?”
“Of course I refuse to refuse”
“No”
I’m interested in this kid.
I felt like I wanted to be a friend, a colleague.
[Bondage Rank Rewards]
[You can join the party]
…
..
.
I was literally satisfied with the dungeon experience.
“Let’s share this one by one”
I couldn’t feel anything was lacking in the process of getting the loot box or fighting.
I wanted to take him to the Ares Guild right away as I was scratching the itch, as if it was not a facade that he received an A rank in long-distance combat.
Well, it’s going to be a bit difficult since Papa is there, but that part aside
“The potion…Take it for yourself”
“Huh?”
“You stand in the vanguard”
“………”
Do not be greedy.
I readily admit it.
Me, my strength. My worth was recognized.
[Bond Rank ─ 4 (Up)]
“Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill—”
“──Hey you f*cking bastard!!!”
When your reason is shaken by the madness of battle
Awakened my spirit again.
[Bondage Rank ─ 5 (Up)]
A victory obtained by enduring and enduring until both arms are dead
After being taken to the health room, we talked about this and that.
Name: Chrono (Class B)
Ranking: —
Strength: 14
Stamina: 17
AGI: 20
INT: 35
Divinity: 20
“Is this…Yes, the status…?”
“Isn’t it miserable? I told you before. I’m very weak.”
Information obtained by chance
Chrono Status
Name: Mars (Class B)
Ranking: —
Strength: 66
Stamina: 48
Agility: 32
INT: 18
Divinity: 57
‘Totally…That’s a dog sh*t’
Right now, the highest stat was similar to the lowest stat, ‘Agility’ for me.
Let’s not focus on intelligence… What intelligence does it take to cut?
Anyway, the fact that he entered the academy was such a terrible status that I couldn’t understand it.
“With a stat like this… Even just brushing against it can cause a fatal wound.”
“Yes”
It’s miserable
“Even if it’s just me, I can kill you with one punch”
“I know you well”
Weak and unattractive.
Before considering the possibility of development, the most important ‘talent’ itself was not shown.
“But you… How could you stand in front of me, the champion?”
“…Are you mistaken?”
“Answer me straight”
“…….Stop”
Nevertheless, he says.
“It’s better to do something first if you can’t do anything.”
“…….I see”
Do not bend.
No, bend. There is a degree of bending.
But I felt something deep inside, something that could never be broken.
[Bondage Rank ─ 6 (Up)]
[Condition: Share your weaknesses]
[Bondage Rank Rewards]
[You can become a ‘lover’ when you ‘confess’ to Mars]
‘…As expected’
I want to be with you all the time, and I want to be by your side.
Looking at this, Papa said one day.
“Hmm! You’re my friend too! I made that decision!”
“No, why”
A colleague. True friend
I want to have that kind of relationship with Chrono.
“This is…A rabbit”
“If you don’t like it, tell the staff outside and sell it. They’ll probably exchange it for money.”
“What? Why am I selling this!”
“I’m glad you like it”
“…Not really, I didn’t like it”
After that, I went to karaoke with Chrono, played, and received gifts.
[Master song clear reward]
[Bondage Rank ─ 7 (Up)]
“Haa…That was fun”
This is ‘friend’.
This is a ‘colleague’.
Mars felt his heart slowly fill with warmth.
[Bondage Rank Rewards]
[Down the probability of sanity evaporation when ‘Berrage’ is activated]
…
..
.
In the relocation test
“…………..”
It was really hard.
It’s hard enough to die
I want to give up right now
──But I hate giving up, more than dying.
“Mars cadet, eliminated”
“Turn it off”
“………”
“I’m still in trouble, so go away.”
He burned his fighting spirit. I grinded and polished my life.
By boiling up what he learned from Papa and Mama, he sharpened his mind.
That’s how I reached the end——something familiar, warm, and involuntarily drawn to me.
“Chrono…No…?”
“Huh?”
Familiar face
Familiar look
“Chrono… That’s it.”
“…Mars?”
I don’t know why.
I don’t know why…
“Thank God, it is…”
“……Huh huh?”
I just feel relieved
I just fell down.
The next thing I remember——
“…Nothing will benefit you, anywhere.”
“Why is there nothing to gain?”
When you suddenly wake up
In the scorching heat and hazy mind
“Here, a friend remains”
“…Do as you please”
The way he protects me in front of the teacher
[Bondage Rank─8 (Up)]
“…I don’t know”
“Ughhhhh…”
Prescribing medicine, porridge for me who can’t eat, and taking care of me until the end
“Clear again with this. I’ll be happy if you show it to Ur-sister later.”
“…………..”
Pleasant and calming music sound

[When in the same party as Chrono, the berserk penalty is nullified]
[Unlock H event]
And
And oh…
“Mars, do you still have things to settle with us?”
“…Yes. There’s a lot left.”
I repaid the favor with my enemy
I should have woken up right away when I came to my senses.
I should have jumped out immediately instead of sitting down in the warmth and comfort.
‘Sorry… I, stop because of me…!’
Yuno’s hand had been shaken off.
But why couldn’t he shake Chrono’s hand?
I blamed myself for being dumbfounded, and I stood in front of Chrono and gnashed my teeth at my ‘enemy’.
“Leave the child alone”
“…..You…”
What if I say no?
‘At that time…’
Save it.
I can save it somehow.
As much as this bastard, I can’t let the bastard who went through this hardship die to save me.
I was determined to save as much as Chrono, and I raised my fighting spirit all over my body.
‘Woo-wook…!’
A body that is still poisoned and fatigued
Thanks to Chrono’s constant buffs, it got better than before, but it wasn’t completely back to normal.
It’s probably impossible to defeat them all.
Still… I can at least make a person run away.
So
“…What are you doing? Don’t run away”
“What are you saying?”
Don’t come
Why are you coming?
Are you dying? Do you really die?
Did you die because of me?
“Are you… Stupid? Hogu? Even an asshole won’t do anything like this!”
I screamed at Chrono, who had approached me.
Show as much hostility as possible. So that those bastards don’t antagonize Chrono
I refused as much as I could, narrowing my eyes.
Reject
Resisted
Even if you feel it yourself, it must be a pair that is second to none in the world——
“I was prepared from the time I started treating you”
“What…?”
“I was chased away with scars all over my body. Wouldn’t it be unexpected then?”
“…Chrono, you…!”
Chrono didn’t care.
Rather, stand by my side and prepare to fight.
For me
Only for me
I raised my sword and stood up in front of that many cadets.
“This…hehehehe…!!”
Stupid bastard
Hogu cub
Irreplaceable, really, really, really, really…!
My heart is pounding
My eyes are trembling.
Calm down. Why are you doing this all of a sudden
It seemed as if something bigger than the fighting spirit was spreading through his heart.
I feel like I’m not myself
And at the end——Chrono spoke.
“Mars, don’t you know how to kiss?”
“…Why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden?”
“No. Just”
To teach you how to do it
“Eup…..?!”
Kiss
Kiss
The tongue is in the mouth
“Chud…Huh?!”
Hot, hot
My whole body burns like steam gushing out
And and and and…
“You… You, you, you, you!!”
Why do the corners of the mouth go up?
Why are you trying to fool around?
Why are you feeling so good, happy, and happy?
Are you in danger of going after you right now? Heart, why are you calling me again…!
“Because this is a ‘trigger’, I had no choice but to do it”
“….. Huh…?”
Continued Confusion
At the end, something swelled up inside
[Encore Kiss]
“…..This is…”
Your condition is back.
No. Beyond the level I returned to——a feeling that more than doubled
Your whole body is energized and you feel omnipotent, as if the world exists beneath you.
“How are you? Are you okay now?”
“……Chrono”
Looking at the grinning Chrono
[Both Mars and Chrono are idiots!]
Only then did I understand.
‘I…Was such a fool’
Burning heat all over the body
[Bondage Rank 10─(Max)]
[Bondage Rank Rewards]
[Awakening skill unlock]
“You know Mars, right?”
“…Yes.”
Not the madness of war
It feels good, warms the whole body, this is definitely—
“Escape——”
“Let’s fight these guys!”
“──Hey, what the hell?!”
─It must be undeniable, true ‘love’.
