86 – Sports Competition, Beginning (6)
“…… “Is there a next time?”
I laughed out loud as I looked at Eve, who was so quick that she was already out of sight.
No, you can’t say that I sucked blood once but twice.
Rather, now that you’ve had a taste of my special blood(?), It won’t be easy to shake off the desire.
Well, it would be nice if she could suppress her vampiric impulses in this way.
I stared blankly in the direction where Eve had disappeared for a moment, then immediately turned around. Because I couldn’t stay like this in the alley forever.
Except for a slight tingling sensation on the back of my neck, there is no major problem.
“Anyway, what happens now?”
There was nothing else that I just needed to think about. I guess it’s more about sports competitions than about blood sucking.

2Nd grade students: 3

First of all, sub-quests are also quests, and for this quest in particular, the amount of CP you can gain can vary dramatically depending on how you do it.
If I could get as much as possible, I would like to get it as much as possible…….
“Because I was eliminated, I.”
I was distracted by Eve for one reason or another, but I lost the sparring match with her. He was eliminated from the amateur tournament.
There was no event more certain than that in the upperclassman hunt.
It was a pity.
‘Well, if I had beaten Eve, it would have been just as uproar.’
Still, I think it’s inevitable and I’ll just move on.
No matter how special a student is, a first-year student can defeat a second-year student, Top, and Eve. How could it not be a hot topic?
If I had tried to win in that situation, I could definitely have won, but it could be said that it would not have been possible anyway. Because I don’t want that kind of commotion.
“Hmm.”
Anyway, so that is that and this is this.
Now that the tournament is over, I have to go through another route.
Within the sports competition, it is an event that can officially defeat upperclassmen. What is it?
“Huh?”
It was when I was walking around the campus with such concerns.
Suddenly, there was a familiar hair color that caught my eye.
“Rice?”
From noble mtl dot com
Gymnasium right next to the main academy building. I knew that the place where the previous half-match was held was used for many other purposes during sports competitions.
From inside, none other than an ivory ponytail came into view.
Beatrice’s unique shiny hair was a rare color other than silver within the academy.
As I was looking at him to see what he was doing, I noticed that he was wandering around with an uncharacteristically relaxed expression.
He’s not the kind of kid who smiles like that.
“Hmm.”
I tried to guess the reason for a moment, but then I wondered if there was any other reason for me to be worried like this, so I just walked on. I entered directly into the gym.
“Yeo.”
“Ugh.”
When I got closer and tapped her on the back, Beatrice made a stupid voice as if she didn’t notice me.
She turns her head, then sees me and opens her eyes wide.
“I was wondering what you were doing walking around these days. “Were you interested in this too?”
“Here?”
I tilted my head at her unexpected words. I’m sure I’ve been a lot busy lately with tournaments and committee work, but this was my first time stopping by the gym.
When I tried to look around to see if something interesting was going on here, Beatrice blinked a couple of times.
“No?”
“I came to see you.”
“…… “Eh.”
Beatrice was briefly silent in response to my answer. And after rolling her eyes for a moment, she cleared her throat and gestured to her surroundings.
“…… I don’t know if you know, but this is a pretty hot place. “It is a game that not only students but also visitors can participate in.”
“Oh?”
Hearing her words, I also turned my head and took a good look at my surroundings.
Now that I think about it, it certainly seems like the proportion of visitors other than current students is large.
I then wondered what kind of game it was and whether visitors could participate in it.
“…… Aha.”
And, as soon as I confirmed the identity of the ‘game’, I was able to understand the reason. I’m sure it could be enjoyed lightly.
‘It’s a board game.’
The thing that many students and visitors are enjoying together is not a single sport.
To be precise, it feels like several games have been combined into one genre.
There are games that are probably popular in this world, such as chess and playing cards, as well as war games that are played with the board spread out, and light games like Othello and checkers were seen here and there.
It appears that this gym is an arcade dedicated to board games.
If I think about it, I think there was a mention of this in the game at least once. It was only a passing sentence, but for now.
I think this is probably a series that doesn’t really affect the scores of both teams.
But what happened in that arcade dedicated to board games that made Beatrice laugh so heartily?
Since her fundamental question was not resolved, I turned my gaze towards her again.
“…… ? Why do you look at me like that?”
Sensing her doubts, Beatrice furrows her eyebrows and glances at me. And from that expression, the smiley expression she had just before had been completely erased.
“…… No, really, why do you look at me like that?”
As she was looking down with a displeased expression because she was so displeased with that, Beatrice took half a step back, as if she was dumbfounded.
I decided to throw a fastball.
“I was laughing alone here earlier.”
“Yes?”
“Did something interesting happen?”
Beatrice, who was stunned for a moment when she asked the question, seemed to cover her mouth a beat later.
I guess he was aware that my smile seemed a little brittle.
“…… Write, why are you peeking at that? “Are you a pervert?”
“How great is that? What else to do but peep? “I just happened to see it.”
“Hey, Mr.”
She clicked her tongue briefly, then scratched her cheek as if embarrassed and pointed in one direction with her finger.
I followed her gesture and turned her head -.
“…… “What is he doing over there?”
Soon, I could see Aria curled up in her corner, looking downcast and lowering her head.
No, what is he really doing over there?
“hehehe.”
In response to the absurd question, Beatrice shrugged her shoulders as if she had asked a good question. He seemed somewhat smug.
What happened?
“Actually,”
The full story of the incident was revealed in Beatrice’s story that immediately followed.
“…… So, you beat Aria at her chess game and she was in a good mood, but you treated her like that and her spirits were completely broken?”
“That’s right!”
“… ….”
At the sight of Beatrice bragging as if she was boasting about a great achievement, I remained silent for a while, unable to say anything.
…… On my own, it seemed like he was really happy, so it was a bit like pouring cold water on him.
Is it true that being treated like a dog by Aria during the battle against each other left such a bitter impression? Unfortunately.
“…… “Yeah, I see.”
I can’t bear to criticize this with facts.
The parties concerned are happy, so what is it?
Of course, I don’t think that Beatrice herself doesn’t know that there is a world of difference between being defeated by force in a battle against two opponents and competing with chess.
Anyway, I guess that’s not the case.
“… ….”
I guess not?
For some reason, I started to lose faith.
“Well, what is it? “Those eyes.”
“No, nothing.”
Still, he seemed to have read something in my gaze and shook his head at Beatrice, who asked awkwardly. Let’s not break the pain.
I patted Beatrice’s shoulder a couple of times, as if I was looking at a very pitiful person.
“No, what is it…” … ?”
At that point, Beatrice frowned with an uncomfortable expression, as if she had noticed something strange. And like a thief shaking his feet, he immediately tried to come up with something to justify himself with a slightly red face.
“…… ?”
In an instant, the emotion on her face changed completely.
From a bit of shame to a question mixed with sincerity.
It also stops you from saying something. She just looked at me blankly.
“…… Riche?”
I was also taken aback because the change was so sudden.
Why is he like this all of a sudden?
It was like a cat that opens its eyes immediately after discovering a strange object.
That gaze staring at me without saying a word was quite refreshing.
First of all, I must say that it is not like Beatrice. This is the first time I’ve seen him like this.
“…… Hey.”
Still, the silence did not last long. Soon Beatrice opened her mouth in a low voice, and although I felt doubtful, I waited for her next words.
So, it was too late to notice.
“What is that?”
Beatrice’s gaze was clearly directed at me.
To be more precise, the fact that I was only focusing on one part of my body.
‘Oops.’
She silently extended her hand and pointed to the nape of my neck.
So, not anywhere else, but the part where Eve bit down on it.
Was there a mark left? I couldn’t take that into consideration, so I hurriedly tried to cover the area with my hand.
If you think about it, it was actually a handshake.
“… ….”
Anything that could be called an expression disappeared from Beatrice’s face. Clean, expressionless expression.
But even more so, I had to feel creepy.
“What is it…?” ….”
“Yes, Riche.”
“I wonder if they are covering it up in such a hurry. “Wow, something is a bit strange, isn’t it?”
“Riche?”
“It was also a bit funny to see him so uncharacteristically embarrassed.”
Beatrice sighed and laughed, then approached me without leaving a space with a beautiful smile in her eyes.
In an instant, she approached right in front of me, stretched out her hand and grabbed my wrist.
“Ah.”
To be honest, she was so nervous for a moment that she couldn’t resist the pressure of Beatrice, who pushed my hand away.
To be more honest, it was also because Beatrice’s grip on my wrist was too strong.
“…… Kiss mark? Right?”
“No.”
Still, the mouth reacted quickly. As soon as Beatrice put ‘that word’ into her mouth, I found myself answering in the negative.
Of course, that didn’t make Beatrice’s suspicious expression disappear any time soon.
“Why are you so nervous? “That’s strange.”
“… ….”
“Did I look like I was angry?”
Then isn’t it?
“Oh, no. There’s no way I could be angry about something like this. hahahaha.”
Beatrice smiled calmly, but I did not let down my guard. I don’t know, but she seemed quite uncomfortable right now.
“It’s simple, Dante. Just answer the truth. “It’s not difficult, right?”
Beatrice smiled brightly and let go of my hand.
But they don’t seem to widen the distance again.
With her eyes still fixed on the nape of my neck, she continued her words again.
“The weather is really hot these days, isn’t it?”
This is an unexpected change of topic. I felt doubtful for a moment, but those doubts were quickly resolved by Beatrice’s next words.
“This is the season when it is not strange to be bitten by bugs here and there. If you say it like that now, well. “I will apologize for being mistaken.”
“… ….”
“But.”
Cutting her off briefly, Beatrice put an unusually cold smile on her lips.
“If that were a lie again, I would be very disappointed. If you have a lover, just say so. “Wouldn’t it be more upsetting to lie and hide things between us?”
She was smiling as if the choice was up to me, and her expression showed that she valued me more than any time I had ever seen her.
…… Although he is definitely smiling.
Naturally, I realized. I don’t think anything good will come of telling a lie now.
Maybe something bad will happen.
I don’t know why, but I had that intuition.
“…… “I didn’t find a lover.”
So, I answered like that. Because it’s true. Because she didn’t have a lover.
And at my answer, Beatrice’s expression seemed to relax.
“But it wasn’t a bug bite… ….”
With my additional comments, things returned to their original state once again.
“…… ?”
Beatrice frowned deeply as if it was absurd.
It was as if he was asking what kind of bullsh*t that was.
I remained silent, and it seemed that Beatrice’s patience was reaching its limit at that point.
“Dante.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll give you 3 seconds. I tell the truth, as it is. 3, 2, 1… ….”
“I was bitten by a passing vampire.”
I closed my eyes tightly and answered like that.
Lol jealous girlfriend lmaooo
