chapter 5
5. Whoa!!!
Eris Betelgeuse.
According to the game setting, he is a 17-year-old, 150cm tall kid with a cliff face and golden hair.
However, unlike her diminutive appearance, she couldn’t ignore her magic skills.
As she is one of the three main heroines, it’s because her specs are great.
‘Even in the beginning of episode 3, he is on the stronger side than the main character.
Eris Betelgeuse is a pioneer who communicates with few constellations even within the worldview of ‘Apocalypse’.
She was a wizard who had awakened the holy power of Orion, and at the same time was a disciple of the great wizard.
The only one among the three heroines who can be immediately put into full force.
Until the 100th episode of her bad ending, I used to use her to break through her early episodes.
‘It took the longest to awaken, so I didn’t use it later, but looking at it now, it’s great.’
There were doubts about whether she was beautiful enough to attract her admirers, but there was no doubt that she was an excellent wizard.
Yes, at the age of 17, this is a very good level.
As she is such an outstanding wizard, did she feel uncomfortable with the incident that just happened?
“…… You just…… What?”
Eris Betelgeuse tilted her head, her face frowning.
She thought she might have noticed what was going on, but she doesn’t seem very sure.
She didn’t see my movements with her naked eyes, but she must have felt a sense of incongruity with the vague movement of energy.
She was confused enough.
‘Time slowed down for an instant, how can I explain that?’
Individual time originally has no backbone.
When you’re doing something boring, you crawl like a slug, but when you’re doing something you like, you run faster than the Shinkansen.
If you close your eyes and count to ten minutes, few people will get it right.
Somehow, when I turn my head, time seems to flow slowly. It seems that the distance between the guy on the other side of the hallway has suddenly shortened.
A sense that would normally be considered an illusion.
In fact, there were many such cases.
However, the blonde child in front of her was the most suspicious of the curious wizards, and she immediately opened her eyes and glared at me.
“What did you just do?”
Oops, it’s not good to be questioned like this when you’ve obviously done a good deed to save people.
Should I say sad?
I shrugged my shoulders and answered with resentment welling up to the point of feeling stuffy.
“No, what should I do? Did you think something really big was going to happen and you were frightened?”
“…… You don’t look surprised at all. Hurry up and be honest, are you a person from our side…… “
“Aww.”
The blonde sorceress Eris was questioning me when she heard a sudden noise and stopped her words.
As the tension eased slightly, the female student gripped her ankle and groaned as if the pain had finally arrived.
Looking at the bright yellow back of his head, he went down the stairs, and it looked like it had been twisted properly.
The thugs must have known her from the beginning, but she made a fuss about her when she saw the female student moaning.
“Oh, Sawako. Are you okay?”
“Sawako-san, are you very sick?”
“Eww, I’m not good enough…… Shouldn’t I go to the health room and put on a patch?”
“…… No it’s okay.”
I wonder if it wasn’t a big injury though.
The female student held on to the frame of her stairs with her eyes closed, barely balancing herself.
Then she immediately bowed her head to me.
“Thank you. Because I was lost for a while… But thanks to that, I was able to finish it to the point where I sprained my leg like this. Thank you.”
Oh my God, is there such a true wife?
She made up her mind to call her ‘Sawako’ from now on, instead of calling her a b*tch.
I talked while shaking her hand.
“Ah, why did you say that! Wouldn’t it be natural for classmates to help each other?”
“But… ….”
“If you really care, please greet me the next time we see each other.”
“Ah.”
Hearing that, the female student smiled brightly as to where the pain had gone.
I also brushed away the resentment in her heart and painted a smile on her face.
When the atmosphere is warm like this, it becomes difficult to interrogate people.
“…… Mmm.”
Eris, the blond mage and the boss of the thugs, who had been watching for a while, coughed heavily and then quietly lowered her head to me.
“…… Thank you for saving our Sawako.”
“Ahahahaha, no words.”
Now the law is being established.
I nodded my head in satisfaction and accepted the greeting with a generous heart.
‘Fortunately, it went well.’
Even if it’s not the case, for some reason, the pink-haired yandere is sticking to it.
For the time being, even paying attention to Sento Sawamura was daunting, but it was difficult to suspect Eris as well.
Still, thanks to Sawako’s timely assist, the dangerous moment was over.
‘The only one who has no doubts is Hotaru.’
In that case, at least the Fire Miko, Hotaru Ichinose. I made up my mind again that I would not let her know any of the smallest secrets.
After the lunch break, I went back to the classroom and took classes alongside Sento, and during breaks, I chatted with Kenichi and Hotaru, who were sitting right in front of me.
Sawamura Sento, who was in the mood to do anything, took the class surprisingly well.
“Oh, sorry. That’s where her eraser fell… Could you pick it up for me?”
“Ahahahaha, my partner asked for help, so of course I have to pick it up!”
“Ah, the ballpoint pen that rolled beside it.”
“hahahaha, my partner is good at dropping things!”
“Oh, another mistake.”
Perhaps he wanted to talk to me, he kept throwing the material street to the ground, but fortunately nothing happened other than that.
‘I was worried that something might happen, but I’m glad I did.’
Ancient weapon, Sawamura Sento.
Her abilities aren’t made purely by her own will, but rather dangerous because she has too many unspecified variables.
It’s like a nuclear bomb that doesn’t know when or where it will explode.
As the fuse was ignited without my knowledge, there was a need to keep an eye on it.
‘After the main character’s awakening, it doesn’t help much with the progress of the episode for a while… ….’
It would be better to be one step ahead and be vigilant rather than just trusting the main character (laughs) who doesn’t know when the bad ending will happen.
“Oops, I dropped it again.”
Sento Sawamura, an abandoned criminal specializing in school supplies. There is a need to keep an eye on it.
“Still, this is the most important thing.”
Have you become quite close today?
After school, I went home with Kenichi and Hotaru in the front row.
In the end, the paths diverged later……
“Shiki! See you again tomorrow!”
“Ichimaru-kun! See you at school tomorrow!”
The main character, Kitagawa Kenichi, and the fire priestess, Ichinose Hotaru.
Shaded by the setting sun, they greeted me with bright smiles and waved goodbye.
I also waved my hand over my head with a wry smile.
“Okay, see you tomorrow! Everyone!”
No matter how mediocre they are, they are the main characters of the original game and their childhood friends.
People of very high importance in a world that is about to perish.
I thought about it in my head all the time, but I was worried because it was a dog sh*t manga game with no rehearsals.
“I’m so glad you did.”
There might be a limit to building intimacy with someone you’ve never met today, but wouldn’t that be enough to be successful?
If we ate together and went home from school, we would be friends.
Yes, it is an achievement worthy of self-congratulations.
“Shall we buy you a cake as a way of praising me for all my hard work?”
I immediately felt better and headed to the bakery on the way back to my home or hideout.
I have plenty of money in my savings, so it would be okay to explode this much.
“Whipped cream… No, do you like chocolate cake? Or cheesecake?”
In the midst of such happy thoughts, a sharp sense suddenly caught the sign of an unpleasant birth.
“Hmm.”
When I raised my head, I saw the sunset of the sun disappearing on the other side and the sky gradually getting darker.
Evening and night are times when ghosts and monsters run amok.
At least in this world.
“Oops, something happened.”
When something like a missing person happens in my neighborhood, I feel uncomfortable and can’t sleep.
Reluctantly, I went into the alley to resolve my selfish discomfort.
I can’t even get the sunset light properly, so I’m in the dark shadow.
The more I went through the darkness, the more I could feel the murderous intent.
If a single citizen felt this pressure, he would not be able to breathe properly, but no one noticed.
“Is it really the realm of consciousness?”
Ghosts and ghosts are real in the world of ‘End of Love’, but ordinary people do not feel them.
Only people with innate psychic powers or ‘related people’ who have awakened to mysticism recognized the monster.
Well, if everyone passing by the street saw it, it wouldn’t be special at all, and it would be difficult to progress through the game.
As a gamer, I think it’s a comfortable setting.
“Well, thanks to that, it’s also easier for me to handle my work.”
Did you say this is a win-win?
To put it bluntly, it’s a situation where I’m unilaterally entrusted with saving the world, but it’s okay.
Honestly, each and every dangerous moment like this has been fun these days.
“Still, the landlord will be worried if you come in late, so let’s deal with it quickly.”
I took out a small sword from my chest and approached the monster in the alley.
There are many restaurants specializing in gyukatsu (grilled beef) nearby. Could it be that the vengeful souls have come together?
A monster with a cow head—well, I should call it a Minotaur.
He spotted me and immediately shouted.
─Uwoaaa!!!!
He shouted.
