109 – 109. Charlotte Ashrelt (3)
A man with jet-black hair like the night sky flying around, and a body full of scars, who had just applied medicine, was standing in front of him.
That was the first sight Charlotte saw as she closed her eyes tightly.
Junon, who was about to say something, took a deep breath and put up with one of her questions.
“Oh, yes. I could have misunderstood, so I’ll just ask you one question. What did he do to you guys?”
“What have you done? Tsk tsk, the news is quite late.”
One person comes forward and answers questions with sarcasm.
Charlotte couldn’t say anything while she confidently recited the news that she had a friend who was diagnosed with 16 weeks pre-existence due to me causing the mana runaway.
“…Is that all?”
“So, is there anything else I need to say? That b*tch has left my friend unable to walk!”
“As expected, I’m a commoner, so I don’t have anything in my head. Even in the environment of the academy, there’s a reason why I’m at the bottom.”
“Besides that. It’s a natural thing to break the power of a b*tch who doesn’t know when she’ll go berserk again and turn into a monster.”
Unlike before, words that have been heard often resonate in this space.
A lot of other people pointing fingers and booing. And those who heard it in front of their eyes would surely send a look of contempt.
However, a completely different sight came to Charlotte, who once again closed her eyes tight and was ready to listen to the accusation.
“f*ck that bullsh*t you bastards!!!!”
He straightened his veins towards those who booed him from the other side, then shouted a word and rushed at them.
In an instant, the place became a mess, and the girl’s small hands that had covered her ears went down.
Then, with just one word carved into her head, she did a lot of consulting.
Why? Why are you going this far?
I might cause a mana runaway right now and slash your back while you are dealing with them.
Like that person, one of his limbs might be broken, and in the worst case, he might become crippled.
How can you make such a judgment?
I can’t even tell the difference between a demon and a human… Yes, a monster.
The monster that caused the demonization might be aiming for your life. Are you going to help yourself?
I couldn’t understand. It was impossible to understand.
Charlotte couldn’t possibly guess Junon’s intentions.
While Charlotte was so confused, Junon, who couldn’t stand her multiple powers, started to attack her with his bare body.
“Hey hey hey…! Here we go again! I’ll go and ask any professor…”
“No, that’s it. Don’t call me.”
“Yes…?”
“About two people, this number is enough to deal with. Why are you fussing so much?”
“Yeah… That’s true…”
“One of those electrometers that can do nothing but block without weapons at best. Calling the professor like this is tantamount to our backing off. You know what I mean?”
They’re going to take care of the two strangers here.
As always, by force.
***
In the end, Junon was pushed out. Even if you try to solve it with hand-to-hand combat, you will push one person away. It is not difficult for the majority of them.
No matter how solid the barrier is, if the arm that builds the barrier falls off, the barrier’s strength will run out.
A shield made of magical power is also the same. As soon as Junon’s magical energy runs out, magic strikes him and the people behind him.
Considering this, what we need right now is another force.
“How long are you going to sit down like that? Get up!”
Junon shouts in frustration. The reason why she raised his voice that much is because of her foolishly sitting there, not responding properly to her opponent’s attacks.
A bit of time has passed since then, but I haven’t forgotten how to condone those who tried to cross the line with skill.
But why the hell are you doing that? It was frustrating for Junon, who had clearly noticed Charlotte’s skills during the early semester evaluation.
“Do you want to stay still after hearing such a noise?! You just have to get up quickly and give me a good shot with the freezing magic I used then!”
“…I can’t do that anymore.”
“What?”
“I can’t do it. I don’t know when I’ll run out of control…”
If I use magic to deal with them, I might lose my consciousness like that time again.

And then, it will spew out muddy demonic energy again to harm people, and it might turn into a humanoid monster.
I can clearly see the future that may run rampant again. Use magic?
It was a crowd.
I didn’t want to feel again with my own hands the unpleasant sensation I had once committed.
Junon came to the fore to Charlotte. It’s also very deep.
“Why did you hear that you’re a monster? If you use magic and go berserk, do you think you’ll go on a rampage again?”
When she picks up what she fears and says that, Charlotte screams out in her rage.
“Yes, I’m afraid I can’t use it! I feel like I’m going to lose myself completely if I use magic like this!”
Does he know the fearful feeling of losing oneself and becoming a monster?
How about that feeling of not knowing what you’ve done, even though you’re slowly losing consciousness?
The shock when I was notified that when everything was over, that I had really run amok like a monster, the shock was indescribable pain.
“It doesn’t matter if you hear that you’re a monster. It’s just words. But… What if you mess with magic and really become a monster? Then there’s no turning back!!!”
“…So. Are you going to just sit back and be beaten by them?”
“It’s better than that! I… I no longer…”
What more do you need? Isn’t that enough?
If you can choose the lesser evil before the worst happens, where nothing worse happens, wouldn’t that be enough?
However, for those who always longed to rise from the bottom, maintaining the situation was like poison.
“Then I’ll live my whole life listening to the word monster? Why don’t you think about changing yourself?”
“That’s…”
“If you really didn’t mind hearing the sound of a monster, you wouldn’t have put your hand up to your ear!! If that’s the case, you wouldn’t have been as resentful and angry as you are right now, but you would have trampled on those guys without a single expression!! Isn’t it?! “
Just as Junon said, Charlotte’s face was covered with her tears and overflowing with indescribable emotions.
She can’t understand all of her feelings and know her pain. However, she was able to notice Charlotte’s condition because she had been frustrated several times.
She didn’t go through the same thing. But she was living a life full of solitude as much as she was.
“I mean. Unlike you, I’m not a noble, but a commoner, and I’m a guy who can’t use a single spell that can inflict scratches on a beast?”
I didn’t receive any expectations from the people of the world, and I was only pointed at by her many times.
Those who did not even have any talent were familiar with setbacks, and despair widened day by day.
Nevertheless, he stood up.
“But, I know one thing. If I don’t do anything like this, I won’t change myself. If you don’t want to hear bullsh*t like that from you in the future, you have to wake up right now.”
The word “Unchanging” Is deeply embedded.
Without knowing that he might become a monster, he has to be pointed at by people while trembling with anxiety.
Criticism and criticism, not jealousy or envy. The gossip and gossip that classmates secretly talk about. A gaze full of distrust and anxiety.
“Are you going to just watch something like that from here for the rest of your life?”
…Just watching from here? That kind of thing…
“No… Uh…”
I don’t like it. Being pointed at as a woman wearing a monster’s skin. The gossip that someday I will become a witch. This terrible solitude, where you can’t talk normally with anyone.
“I don’t like that…!!”
I wanted to throw them all away.
This is the moment when Charlotte’s sincerity is revealed, who has been swallowing her inner thoughts, saying that she will become more mature.
The pus and ooze that hadn’t been discharged while it was piled up were seizing the opportunity to come out.
“Then let’s start from the beginning. There must be some good onlookers, so we can prove them by example.”
“Proof…?”
“Yes. Prove yourself that your magic won’t run out of control! I won’t run out of mana against you guys!”
The girl’s determination begins with the fishy smell of blood coming out of her lips.
The boy slowly pushes her back as she tries to take her first step and shake off her fear.
“Soon their magic will stop. It will take time to unfold, so then run amok to your heart’s content. I will block anything that comes your way.”
To the path of victory called change.
So, what was the whole story of the commotion that occurred on a promenade?
A girl was scolded, and pointedly responded to her remarks that were tantamount to insults. That is a fact that will be known later.
However, it is also clear that Charlotte used quite a lot of magic to deal with that many numbers with just two people.
“Ugh…!”
As a sign that she is on the brink of runaway, Charlotte’s muddy magical power creeps up, and her Charlotte is slowly dissolving, and her consciousness is about to be cut off.
But she doesn’t go berserk.
“Let’s sigh for now.”
“Dang, god…”
“Don’t worry because there’s nothing to do or run over. I guarantee it.”
The reason why my eyes closed this time was because of sleep, not runaway.
***
Although it didn’t take long for her closed eyes to reopen, the girl had a dream.
It was such a sweet dream. In that dream, she was back to her normal routine, and she never wanted to wake up.
But she had to come back to reality.
All the figures who appeared in the dream shook their heads, and their eyes were moist as they slowly moved away.
I think the first thing that touched the girl who started coming back to reality was quite a few senses.
Cozy as if you are leaning on it somewhere. Shallow vibrations that are felt throughout the body periodically at the same time. A mysterious touch and warm warmth that tickled the face.
These were things she had never felt before.
As she flinched at this strange sensation and opened her eyes, the man’s voice came to her.
“Oh, are you awake?”
She finally realized that she was being carried on her back by the black-haired man who answered as if she had waited.
The first time in my life, I feel a shame, and a disheveled reaction pops out. The precociousness and maturity that I usually tried to keep strictly were nowhere to be found.
“What, what happened…! Explain quickly!!”
“Uh, hey Charlotte! It’s dangerous if you move, so stay still! That, first of all, you didn’t run out of control because of the magical sedatives, huh? Use the sleeping pills appropriately… Ayayya!!”
“Okay, that’s it! I’ve explained it, so please take it down quickly. Now!”
“Ouch! Okay, can you let go of my head?!”
