Eventually, Escomin let out a clunk as if his task was done, and shut himself off.
I groaned involuntarily.
“her… .”
Just like the last time, the hint I received from Escomin this time was also a hint that made my mind go blank for a moment.
Looking at Escomin floating in front of my eyes, I spit out the words I had read.
“Because I am a literature teacher… .”
I was embarrassed and thought about the meaning of ‘literature class’ here at the academy.
The most important meaning of literature class is that there is an event that strengthens the relationship with the main characters. Depending on the homework to be submitted to the literature class, Johann Esperts can prepare a performance with the support of the bachelor. Accordingly, members necessary for the performance can be configured with their own hands.
And the moment I thought of the second meaning, I clapped very naturally.
“That was it… .”
The tension was relieved, and a faint smile appeared. If what he recalled was the hint that Escomin had induced, it was not difficult to meet the conditions.
Because it was prepared beforehand.
After calming down, I took out a notebook and pen from my inventory. It was because the things to be done became clear.

Evangeles had been flustered since last night. Because of that, his morning routine also changed.
Instead of going to John’s room for the first time, he went to the student cafeteria alone. It was for breakfast.
‘What can I do if I go there?’
Evangeles has been receiving food alone. The sight of the children eating in pairs made him even more miserable.
“It’s fucking right.”
Since I came to this academy anyway, I haven’t shared a meal with John a few times. Every time I visited, his room was empty.
Evangeles, who was about to make soup, frowned. It was because the memory of breaking into John’s room with Ida in the past came to mind.
‘Could it be that it was embarrassing to have my taste exposed in the past?’
Evangeles shook his head at the thought he had thought of with a ray of hope. I don’t think so. What’s more, he could confide in John about anything worse than that.
“Well… what?”
Evangeles laughed at himself trying to make soup with a fork. The more I thought about it, the more pathetic I felt.
While living here, I had a vague thought. It seems that John has some kind of trouble. So he’s been waiting Because I thought that one day, when the troubles were sorted out, I would confide in myself.
It was an illusion.
His relationship with John was already estranged.
Evangeles had to go through every detail of the story to see if he had made any mistakes. But it soon became depressed.
15 years of growing up with John.
Because I thought that the concentration of that friendship was ripe enough that I didn’t have to worry about trivial things.
Because he had always thought of friendship as a relationship in which you can share something really important, rather than a relationship where you share trivial details.
And that relationship collapsed yesterday.

No, it should have been said that it had collapsed before then.
From the time I told a guy I hadn’t met in less than a year about my relationship with my younger sister, which I hadn’t even told myself.
Kwajik-
Evangeles, who chewed the spoon hard while eating the soup, burst into tears.
“Keugh… Sheesh… .”
can not understand.
It’s not that he made a big mistake, and even if he did, I don’t think that mistake was something that exceeded the time we spent together.

No matter how you think about it, it seemed that John had become a completely different person from the John he knew.
why?
Evangeles said in a crooked tone.
“Breakfast menu, what a beggar.”
He had loved raisins since childhood. Evangeles admitted that he was depressed as he dipped the soup in the raisin bread from the school lunch. After scooping a few more spoons, he threw the spoon away and looked out the window at the rain falling.
“The weather is crazy.”
It was probably a bad feeling in terms of the weather.

same time.
Johann had other thoughts as he ate the same bread Evangeles ate in the hospital cafeteria. The rain was pretty heavy, and the rain starting at this point in the scenario could be a sign.
A high difficulty event ahead of the [Witch Hunt].
A sign that the event name [Chief Kirov] is about to begin.
The rain that started at dawn started to get thicker, and the barracks of the academy, which is holding a chuck with the witch Carnes, are sensitive to the weather.
And John knew. About one misunderstanding in the Wizard’s Tower, which is blocking Carnes’ interference by manipulating the weather.
Unlike snow and wind, or drought or earthquake, there is a third party involved in rain, not Carnes.
That’s Kirov.
She manipulates water through magic and expands her magical influence unbeknownst to anyone. By storing water all over the basement and expanding the secret space.
As such, the underground waterway was the fortress of the wizard Kirov, with a complex structure that was incomparable to most dungeons.

No matter how many problems there are, the way to solve them is the first step for everyone. Johann, who made up his mind again to solve the problem one by one slowly, tilted his head slightly as he finished the soup.
‘What was today’s class?’
When John emptied the soup, just in time a student came to him. It was the person I saw yesterday. It was a jackal wearing a green raincoat.
It is quite a distance from the dormitory to the hospital here. Johann said to him, who came to him still wearing a cast, without saying hello.
“Did you come here to see me since morning?”
“It’s a combination of seeing Pilbo’s status as well. I will support you on the way.”
“Well. I appreciate the words, but I don’t need support. Even if it’s not, I’m just writing a discharge notice.”
“okay? It looks stronger than it looks.”
Taking the raincoat the jackal had brought, Yohan recalled Mubar Trigger and said,
“How is your bodyguard?”
“I was forced to go to the hospital because I was going to be discharged. They said it would take some time for the neck bones to attach.”
“okay? Too bad… But that. Can I have a look too?”
“Well? … this? … have it I have seen them all.”
What John pointed out was the academic newspaper in Jackal’s hand. The jackal obediently handed the newspaper to John, and John quickly skimmed through the titles of the school newspaper.
[The world is beautiful – anonymous contributor]
[Urgent Contribution – A bunch of rats pouring down the dorm drain. Hygiene of students, is it okay as it is?]
[Now, the product sales items in the concession stand are expanded.]
At first, John listened with a good heart. All three articles were things that John knew.
“You couldn’t hear it because you were in the hospital. Because of the rain, our first class of the day, the morning, was pulled. Originally, there was a schedule to worship at the graves of the warriors, but the event was canceled due to rain.”
John was startled inwardly. Last night, Escomin’s answer was ‘literature teacher’. Johan, who was nervous as he returned the tray, put on the raincoat the jackal gave him and said,
“Then, let’s go down.”
“Aren’t you trying to read the newspaper?”
“You can read it as you go.”
“Hmm. It would be uncomfortable to watch in the rain.”
“I do not care.”
Arriving at the exit from the hospital, Yohan looked at the scenery under the hill for a while before walking out. The bachelor of the academy with many bushes and trees looks fresher especially on a rainy day.
Jackal clicked his tongue and left the hospital together. The jackal clearly seemed eager to talk to John, but it would be rude to talk to someone reading something. There was such a thing in John’s intention to read the newspaper while walking in the rain.
Three articles floating in the newspaper.
The first article, ‘The World is Beautiful’, says that the author is an ‘anonymous contributor’. And in fact, it is an article written by Ida Hermes, who became the school principal. The logically messed up article that starts with a love story and ends with ‘The world is beautiful’ is an article that was created when Ida took the dating route with ‘the person with the authority of the school year president’ in the original work.
According to the setting, this article will be published by the academic newspaper department under pressure from Ida. And, due to the poor quality of this manuscript, the editorial department of the newspaper was also involved in the writing.
But even so, it is a writing that has no characteristics other than the freshness of an adolescent girl. And this is also an article that will be talked about in the future by the academic newspaper for a long time due to the absence of its logic and topic.
The second article, ‘Swarms of rats coming out of the dormitory drain.’
The fact that this article was contributed means that the event name, [Chief Kirov], has begun.
All of the academy’s drainage systems are connected to the academy’s underground aqueduct, which is a space that the sorcerer Kirov can actually control.
And the fact that a group of rats came out through it means that Kirov is conducting a final experiment before launching a full-scale terror attack on the academy.
Of course, John knew the purpose of the terror.
Wizard Kirov is trying to induce an all-out war between the academy and the witch Carnes.
According to the story, she is an obstruction that blocks the main character’s path, but at the same time, she is a character that triggers the game scenario in earnest.
‘Now, it begins.’
John had the feeling that what was to come had come. At the same time, it was an article that allowed Kirov’s second aptitude to be deduced into two.
The third article, ‘The product sales items at the canteen are now expanded.’ is literally an article about the arrival of new items in the academy canteen. And Yohan was able to organize in his head the items he needed to buy right away.
And there is one of the most important of those items. Right now, Johann Esperz’s biggest Achilles’ heel is the weapon, the bow.
‘I have to buy a bow.’
There is a reason why I, who has [Arms of Justice] that can be transformed into any weapon, have to prepare a bow in advance. This is because the identity of the [Arms of Justice] cannot be fully revealed yet.
I recalled the shape of the bow I made with the [Equipment of Justice].
Just as it has the name [Mulkan’s Sword] when it is in the form of a sword, it also has a name when it is in the form of a bow.
[Obelon Dropper].
The so-called Fairy King’s Bow.
A bow that sent the molars of the dragon soldier, Hidesolau, in one shot.
Unlike [Mulkan’s Sword], which seems to be a general famous sword, it is impossible to disguise the appearance of sniping something with this [Obelon Dropper] as just using a bow. It projects the user’s qi, which is clearly distinct from normal arrows. If this fact is revealed to people at this point, they will be involved in the damage to Mulcan’s statue.
Coincidentally, [Jailer Kirov] is an event where you have to form a party with the main characters to capture it.
As such, it is impossible to hide the sight of shooting an arrow whenever a sniping is needed, as in the [Assassination of the Princess] event.
So, you must buy a bow unconditionally. And I’ve already decided which bow I need to get at this point.
