chapter 13
13 – 3. Test (7)-end.
Dyers stared at Fur.
His body was emaciated, and his eyes were sunken and bloodshot.
His hair is frizzy, and his little fingers are shaking a little.
I didn’t think it was in a normal state.
Of course, Dyers’ body suffered and lost some weight, but it was nothing compared to Pur’s body.
She wasn’t protecting her. The mana powder used by Purr was clearly a banned item, and it could have caused many casualties, including himself.
However, Purr confirmed that there were no students around her, and Dyus was also far away, so she used her weakest basic magic.
I didn’t mean to harm anyone.
I’m just afraid, as if I’m being chased by something.
Dyers was convinced. The guy in front of me right now is not the final boss of Chapter 4, ‘Odium’, but just a timid and ordinary student.
More than anything else, he tried to confess his crimes several times in a situation where expulsion was confirmed, which put Dyers in trouble.
It wasn’t the slayer ‘Odium’, it was just Purr. Not yet.
To think that a little boy who is smaller than the Aranya in front of you is going to annihilate a territory.
It was crazy because they had the same ‘eyes’. I almost didn’t know. Audium’s past wasn’t resolved.
That’s right. The pattern was also messy.
I suddenly remembered, but the pattern of the odium was f*cking awful.
He had a lot of blood, but there were 3 phases, and if he stopped hitting for more than 7 seconds, he would get blood in 10% increments, and even if he died instantly, there were 3 steps: stepping stone, curse, and breakthrough.
No matter which route you choose, Odium appeared, so it was one of the most annoying bosses in my newbie days. Not as much as that child.
Conversely, no matter what number you choose, blue will always be an odium.
It was a game, so even if I was mad, I retweeted and won, but this place was real.
Then there was no need to create a risk factor.
I don’t know the details of how Purr got corrupted, but I must stop her from becoming Odium.
Not out of trivial sympathy, but simply for my own benefit.
If I get hit directly by the odium wide area, my current life will come to an end.
To be honest, even Zena and the student council president with less pain will go to the goal. I’m not weak.
At least Richet and Latina will endure.
Anyway, the important thing is that Odium is a Belbung-class boss.
After thinking about her for a moment, I looked at her again.
She wanted to hide it, but her body was shaking.
But she didn’t sit still this time.
“…What are you doing?”
She mustered up her courage. She mustered up the courage to ask me.
“Don’t worry. I won’t say anything out of my mouth.”
“… Huh?”
Perhaps this was an unexpected remark, and Pur was dumbfounded. I was able to make such a silly face.
“Why, or do you want to be expelled?”
“No!! No! Buy, save me!!”
Purr turned her head at a speed that she couldn’t even see.
And she got down to her knees.
“I’m sorry… I know very well that you’re shameless… I, but… I don’t want to be kicked out of here… Black.”
A little water formed in her eyes.
“Everyone, everyone lives by believing only in me… I live… I don’t know what will happen if I get kicked out of here… My dad collapses, my mom… My younger siblings…”
The life in her eyes is fading away. This is a bit dangerous.
Anyway, her condition may be much more serious than I thought.
“I’ll take the mana measurement test twice. Time is running out, so I’ll record it as nullified today.”
At my words, Puru nodded her head as if she was relieved.
I couldn’t measure the important thing either.
“So you can take the test again in a week. Stop crying.”
As I said that, I handed over a handkerchief. A man might ask what kind of handkerchief it is, but Dyers carries it.
Anyway, he’s a very peculiar guy.
“Uhhhhh!”
Pur took the handkerchief and blew his nose with excitement. The problem was that it bounced off my arm.
It was at this moment that Pur’s face changed from relief to fear.
“Why, why is it there…?”
“No big deal.”
She still seemed afraid of me. I roughly brushed it off with my hand. Her eyes widened again.
If a woman was as beautiful as blue, a man would be happy even if water other than his runny nose splattered.
Tears. Tears.
“To get to the point,”
When I said that, I heard a growl.
It’s amazing. It was the first time I heard this sound, which can only be seen in cartoons, movies, web novels, and gag scenes. Wasn’t that all exaggerated by the media? Now this sound was a sound that would come out after a week of eating and drinking.
Of course, the owner of that sound was Pur.
“……”
“……”
“……”
“…Huh..!”
Pur stole another tear. Unfortunately, no she didn’t. Fortunately, she didn’t fry this time.
“Come with me after class.”
First of all, I need to feed him some rice.
.
Fortunately, neither Purr nor Dyers had any other classes.
Dyers gave the log to Aranya and beckoned Pur to follow him.
Pur, who was guilty of the crime, followed without saying anything.
Away from Beatus Academy, we went deeper and deeper beyond the ‘Free Market’ with a lot of floating population and the ‘Street of Minerva’ full of things to see.
Then we arrived at a shabby inn.
As expected, Puru did not say anything and followed slowly.
“This is the inn I’m staying in. Come in. I signed a contract right in the morning.”
At this point, the naive Puru couldn’t help but be suspicious.
If you think about it, Dyers was the only one who had Furu’s weakness. He said he had destroyed all the evidence, but he didn’t know if he still had it.
The fortress has improved a lot, but I heard that some nobles still see commoners as tools rather than humans.
And an inn? Using his weakness as an excuse, isn’t it possible to ask for his mother and body? !!
Is this how you become a nobleman’s plaything?
Pur’s nerves were on edge in an instant.
He didn’t want to doubt him for saving him, but there was no other way to explain why he saved him.
Unless Dyers suddenly switched souls with someone else, wouldn’t he have no reason to help him?
A person with no contact.
“What are you doing when you don’t come in?”
“……”
She shut her mouth shut.
Let’s go in.
Dyers was his benefactor. He couldn’t easily reject his words.
“Sorry.”
Doubt is just doubt.
She had a stronger desire to believe in Dyers.
The interior was more shabby than expected. It can’t compare to the dormitory where Fur is staying, and Fur’s family also lives in a better house than this.
It was a rude idea, but I couldn’t believe that a noble could live in a house like this.
“Don’t look at it with those eyes. You have to save on living expenses. There are many houses that are worse than this one.”
“But…”
Whether he knew what she was thinking or not, Dyers said, ‘Wait a minute.’ After saying that, she returned right away.
With something full in the bag.
Soon, an even more amazing sight unfolded.
“What are you doing?”
“You will know when you see it.”
No matter how you look at it, this must be ‘cooking’. Purr thought that she might be dreaming of her.
That Dyers cooks…? Aren’t nobles not supposed to cook?
‘What??’
Even while Pur’s brain was temporarily out of order, he focused on cooking.
As if he already knew the recipe, he put in something presumed to be the ingredients, as well as dried meat and milk, which Purr likes.
Looking at the bag, it was butter, soft flour, and potatoes.
What was surprising was that Dyers’ actions were very skillful. It was a skill he had made at least a hundred times.
The smell spread with the sound of bubbling and boiling.
Pur swallowed involuntarily.
It was all things he liked.
Come to think of it, it seemed like he had not eaten for almost a week.
Until now, I hadn’t felt that I was hungry because I was so mentally concentrated, but it was a different story when I saw the food right in front of me.
“Eat slowly. Eating quickly on an empty stomach will make you sick.”
Saying that, Dyers first filled the soup and handed it to Pur.
But Pur couldn’t take it.
It wasn’t because I doubted Dyers.
He couldn’t shamelessly accept food.
“That’s right. No one will eat the food I made. I’m sorry for forcing you. This is the way to throw it away…”
“I’ll eat!”
Pur quickly received the bowl. It shouldn’t be.
Don’t throw away food.
You can feel the smell of the mild soup as the thin meat floats around.
Purr felt Dyers’ gaze and quickly put the spoon in his mouth.
Aww.
“……”
It’s delicious.
It’s warm.
The umami of the meat, the liver of the soup, and the soft cream. Suitable temperature.
Pur shed tears while eating the soup.
I put the soup into my body mindlessly.
My starving body wanted food and warmth.
It was embarrassing to show tears in front of someone. Because Puru was taught that way, he never cried in front of others.
But the tears now were not of Puru’s will.
Even ice that was left cold would melt and turn into water when warm.
I decided to think of those tears.
Pur continued to eat the soup while crying.
Dyers watched without saying anything.
.
Latina headed into the Eden Forest.
And she was able to find out.
It was a rope.
