John conceded.
this is kinda fresh
‘God dwells inside me.’
Such a declaration of herself was able to work because it was Adrine, a [seeker of the truth].
The [Simulation] correctly inferred the story Adrine was going to say, and he had experienced the aspects of the conversation beforehand before engaging in the conversation.
However, this [simulation] is based on the understanding of the character to the end.
And unfortunately, Johan didn’t understand the character of Arienne as well as Adrine. In the version of the game he made, Arien was an extra that would disappear in the beginning.
She said while looking at John with a somewhat resentful look.
“Do you know why I was sold to the circus?”
“… … .”
“Dad, he donated all his property to the church.”
Her warrior he never made.
Arien said in a voice that was still full of tears.
“My dad was a believer that my mom died because of a curse from the gods. I don’t know if that statement is true or not. Well, maybe all life and death in the world is God’s work after all. But I don’t know if it’s true that the living suffer because of someone’s death.”
Johan briefly summarized the pain she revealed, excluding empathy. ‘My father is a fanatic’. Then, he looked around his room.
Clothes that were soiled in the swordsmanship test were strewn across the clothesline between the walls. And hot steam was leaking out of the half-open bathtub with the sound of running water.
It was probably something prepared by the girl who returned earlier while he was on patrol with Adrine. So that you can wash up and go to sleep right after you return from patrol.
And the temptation to actually lie down in bed was clear to John as well. My head was pounding due to the aftereffects of using [Goblin Illusion]. This is similar to the headache when wielding [Mulcan’s Sword], which has now become [Arms of Justice]. The sword was originally a goblin’s toy.
“Once you understand, go back to Bastia’s mansion.”
“I was going to do that 10 minutes ago. not now but.”
“Then, turn your mind back 10 minutes.”
“I do not like it.”
In the true ending route of ‘Savior from Another World’, the basic standard for dealing with female characters is to hit an iron wall. However, this character is tricky in that it looks into the other person’s emotions.
After thinking for a while, John found the right words.
“Arien.”
“yes.”
“I have someone I like.”
In the next moment, Arien’s chest swelled greatly. Then he said in a voice that he couldn’t believe that he had just cried.
“Who is it?!”
Johann was a little taken aback by Arien’s sharp tone. But I soon found out. The last words are not the words you said to yourself.
At the same time, Yohan learned what Arien meant by ’10 minutes’. The clothesline across the dorm room was swinging.
the wind is blowing And he doesn’t leave the window open at this time.
Arien ran out the window.
The woman who had just opened the window and entered had a little misunderstood the identity of the attacker.
“maid?”
And when a girl who appeared to be a maid pounced on him, the intruder looked down on him a little. It was because she was a woman, and because they looked the same age. So when Arien’s fist extended, she let it go lightly and tried to step aside.
But Arien was aware of her movements first.
by sound.
Recognized as a formal magician, she was aware of all the subtle sounds made by the human body. Not only the sound of blood and heart moving inside the body, but also the subtle friction of bones and muscles.
The sounds predict the opponent’s actions. By combining which joints made which sounds in which order, Arien was able to draw out the actions of the opponent.
And there is no such thing as a defensive posture that can receive all attacks.
puck-
Arien’s fist evaded the intruder’s guard and plunged into her chest.
The intruder let out a mortal cry.
“Mook!”
The intruder who was pushed back almost died. If she hadn’t grabbed the window frame in haste, she would have fallen out of the window.
After checking her face, John hurriedly shouted.
“Arien! stop! Someone you know!”
“under? Someone you know sneaks in through the window at this hour? Climbing a wall for 10 minutes? When I climbed up to the 8th floor, I couldn’t believe it. Are you coming into our room?”
The identity of the intruder was Miri.
she said with a big breath.
“It can’t be helped. I mean it was closed.”
“It is convincing. Climb the wall to the twelfth floor because the door is locked?”
Miri looked straight at John to avoid small talk.
“You asked me to tell you if there was anything I could help with before, right?”
As John waited in amazement at his appearance, Miri continued.
“Please help me stay here for a while.”
John said without showing his thumping chest.
“why?”
“Don’t ask why.”
“how?”
“What if I broke my ankle first? for therapeutic purposes.”
John calmed his heart first and then thought of the circus performers. Even at a rough estimate, there were more than 20 people.
“You’re making all the circus members stay because of you?”
“no. only me.”
John studied Miri’s expression.
She wasn’t joking.
“I haven’t seen you for a long time, but here, dean, you didn’t seem like a cold person. When I kicked the young boy… What if I told you I broke my ankle?”
It was an absurd story for Arien.
‘This girl kicked John?’
Miri continued.
“I just need to stay for a few days.”
I didn’t want to hear any more.
Arien said coldly.
“excuse me.”
“uh?”
“You’re not saying you’re going to sleep with John, are you?”
“What matter? I caressed you on this side, but why do you do your excitement on that side?”
The circus is hard work. The language of the circus members was harsh, and Arien also came from a circus troupe. She said, suppressing the language habits of the past that were about to jump out.
“Did I ask first?”
“Hoo. Aren’t the maids in that mansion just taking care of the laundry?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Bocchan, do you take care of the lower part as well?”
“… I am full of spirits.”
Arien put the back of her hand on her slightly reddened cheek and looked at Miri. Her performance dress was hollow at the chest.
“Do the people in that mansion do tricks with their vulgar dresses and snouts?”
“Oh?”
“Did you tell me that you broke your ankle? I know a better way.”
There was hostility in Arien’s voice that even if you weren’t a “sound wizard,” you could tell. Miri laughed at the hostility and asked again.
“Why, would you draw me a bruise?”
“Just for real break that ankle. Then you don’t have to lie.”
“Are you needlessly honest?”
“I’m honest with rude people.”
“Hey, you two. Let’s talk-”
John’s words were cut off by Arien before he could finish.
“What? Shall I break it now?”
“Then I must show you something.”
“I’m not curious.”
As John tried to step out, the two women held out their palms at the same time.
“under. I get tangled up with the whole year.”
“I’m going to break your ankle and report you a thief. Then you won’t care about your broken ankle.”
“Ha, that’s ridiculous. So if I win-”
“yes. There is no such thing.”
fault.
Arien moved first.
In this world, what is called taijutsu is mainly learned by those who cannot wield weapons. The Empire is a hierarchical society, and the use of weapons by the lower classes is strictly prohibited.
And in the Empire, there are several groups made up of such lowly people. The circus is just that. And both of them were women who had been in the circus for a long time.
Arien rushed and pulled her shoulders back, and Miri quickly twisted her waist. Soon after, Arien’s fist and Miri’s foot flew towards each other.
“shit.”
John jumped out of bed and got up. to intervene between the two.
And at that moment, a heavy headache scattered his judgment. The hands and feet of the two women were thrust into John’s chin and cheek.

“Why is the face of a student on probation like that? Even overnight.”
“I rolled down the stairs.”
“No matter what kind of stairs it is, only the parts that are often hit during fights have left bruises.”
Anyway, Yohan is a student on probation because of a fight. The dean couldn’t imagine that he would fight with someone again. The bruises on the eyes and chin were probably the work of Bastia.
“okay. why did you come to me from the early hours.”
“I want to correct my mistake.”
The dean was silent for a moment. Then he shook his head slightly.
“What has already happened cannot be corrected. What is needed to mend the jackal’s shoulder is not your reflection, but rest and healing. I don’t think you can provide that.”
“I-that’s… It’s someone else’s business.”
“Others?”
“Yesterday, I was called here… Circus girl, remember?”
I couldn’t remember
It just happened last night.
“I remember. I said beforehand And I definitely said that I dismissed your claim about an apology.”
“I’m not asking for an apology. After thinking it through, I went to her and apologized in person.”
“Apologize… Did you?”
“yes.”
The dean gave a sober assessment of John’s actions. It is rare for aristocrats to apologize to the common people.
The dean nodded slowly.
“You must have done a hard job. Wrong start, but a good move.”
“What did I do, what?”
John studied the dean’s face before continuing.
“By the way, that child named Miri… I must have broken my ankle yesterday when you stopped me.”
“Ankle?”
The dean raised his eyes for a moment and then said.
“… Weren’t you fine then?”
“Looks like you’ve been paying attention. The child’s ankle… It was bruised and swollen.”
“okay? How do you know that?”
“I brought her to my room yesterday to treat her.”
The dean’s eyebrows slanted. The academy forbids both sexes. This is also the reason why there is a division between male and female buildings. Of course, I do not believe that the prohibition will be followed well among children who have entered puberty.
But to say so confidently in front of oneself is another matter.
The dean, who had been silently listening to John, slightly misunderstood his words.
“… So, are you going to keep him sleeping in your room? Did you come to me early to say that?”
It actually came early. He knew that the dean had to go to the dean’s office before 7:00 in the morning.
Yohan recalled the chaos of this early morning.
It was 6:30 when she was kicked by Miri and punched by Arien. It is also the reason why mornings feel a little long.
When he woke up, unfortunately, Miri had already left her dorm room. Only Arien was kneeling in front of him in the form of a criminal. What John said to her was, ‘Don’t come back until I call.’
“Answer me.”
John paused for a moment.
It was a moment to focus.
