96. Forgetting
This incident is,
It was also a test of the ability to be jealous.
Stole that skill from Carlson’s lover,
When I cast it on Paula and intuited that it worked perfectly regardless of skill level.
To be honest, I was excited.
I wondered if there was such a crazy technology in the world.
One touch copy.
Just by touching the body, a skill of at least level A is copied without asking.
If I could really fire this ‘without any restrictions’, I thought there was nothing in the world I couldn’t do.
Without having to go anywhere,
If you make copies with only instructor Miho by your side…
Who can stop this?
The cult leader is with me.
It is also true that with such happy imagination, the tension increased more than necessary.
And now I am.
I locked the door to my private room from the inside and sat at my desk, mumbling constantly.
“Scarlet Rain, Scarlet Rain, Scarlet Rain, Scarlet Rain…”
This is serious.
It doesn’t stick in my mouth.
So, just a little while ago.
The very moment when I was watching Scarlett eat cookies and was about to chat with her.
I couldn’t remember her name,
That was impossible.
Regardless of whether my memory is extraordinary or not,
You should forget what you need to forget.
This is impossible based on common sense.
I left the place unnaturally, like a crazy person.
Now that I think about it, I just had to be discerning and look at her profile, but
There was no such situation.
That’s the name I got after frantically searching through the student profiles in the teacher’s office.
Scarlet Rain.
I saw the name,
I memorized it again.
I didn’t remember it.
“…….”
It’s not something I salvaged from somewhere in my head.
I typed a name in my head that I had never seen before.
The difference between the two is very big.
“Scarlett, Rain…”
The feeling I had when I first turned on her game and read her name at the event where I first met her.
Exactly the same feeling.
So, it’s not that my memories came and went because I couldn’t get over my travels in the back alleys.
This is a kind of side effect.
And there was only one candidate to create this division.
Jealousy. The ability I used for the first time.
For some reason, it didn’t cost any mana.
Just as he was unable to use the blood system he obtained through greed because of the enormous mana consumption.
This was also a skill that came with a price,
The price was more fatal than blood.
“…It’s even random.”
The risk of randomly erasing memories.
If the memory I forgot was about Carlson’s lover, the target of the copy, or Paula, the target of the cast, I would have been able to guess the existence of a regularity.
A third party that has nothing to do with this matter.
Scarlet’s name has been erased.
Oh, this doesn’t stick in my mouth.
Anyway, randomness is a really annoying variable.
The lesson I learned this time is…
“If I just use it, it’ll be a big problem…?”
Once when it’s really, really important.
Is it just a skill that needs to be treated with that kind of mindset?
To be blunt, this time it ended with the name.
Because I don’t know what will be erased next.
Go back in.
I don’t think it’s time yet.
“This… You can’t learn the rules just by writing them down like in the blood world.”
I was able to use the blood system whenever it was full of mana and dig into it one by one,
This will lead to real youth dementia.
If you steal a good ability, does the recoil come back that much, or is it simply random?
Is it only affected by the number of times?
From Noble mtl dot com
I don’t know anything.
Because it was a skill that could not be used in games.
So, you should approach it as conservatively as possible.
If you do it wrong, you could turn into a real idiot who doesn’t even know who the heroine is.
If I take away my intelligence from Ivan,
Really… Because there are only so-so instructors left.
“First, let’s start with certain things.”
The only information about jealousy.
Rules obtained by paying expensive tuition.
Memories are erased when ‘stolen abilities are consumed.’
Until then, it will not be affected.
If it weren’t for that, I would have forgotten Scarlett’s name from the moment I touched Carlson’s lover.
Then, what I have to do now is…
“You can’t leave a slot empty.”
The strongest ability.
Preparing the last bastion.
I stood up.
And, quite coincidentally.
Crash, clank-
As soon as I woke up,
The sound of someone trying to force open a locked door was also heard.
“Hey, instructor! Are you in there? Answer me!”
I walked over and opened the door.
There is no longer any reason to avoid it.
Squeak-
“What’s going on?”
Scarlet Rain.
With a frown on her face, she sharply wiped away the question I asked and returned it.
“What’s going on? What’s going on with you?”
“……”
“What on earth happened that made you hurriedly lock yourself in here with an expression on your face like you lost everything in the world?”
This is a gross exaggeration.
It may seem like a bit of gibberish, but
I don’t remember making such a fuss.
Because I remembered everything except the name.
Actually, it’s not a big deal.
“It’s no big deal.”
“Are you asking me to believe that?”
“Scarlett.”
As much as she trusts me,
I also want to be as honest with her as possible.
How do you say this?
Are you saying, ‘I have a chronic illness, so my memory will be erased in the short term, but it’s not a big deal.’
The most important thing is trust.
And, the side effects I am facing now threaten to destroy that.
Even if you’re like me, you don’t want to leave your back to an instructor who forgets his name.
Even though I may gloss over it like this later, when I use this skill again someday.
It is a hundred times better than having trust broken.
“I haven’t rested properly since I came back from the back alley. I just felt dizzy for a moment.”
“……”
“Are you done now?”
She let go of her hand that was holding me.
I’m not sure if that’s an expression of understanding or just giving up on asking.
“I understand.”
Now, I am grateful just for that answer.
I turned my back after greeting her.
“…Hey, instructor.”
A voice from behind my back.
“Whatever it is, don’t keep it shut.”
“…”
When I glanced back at the place,
Inside the private room, I opened the door slightly and found Scarlett looking at me hesitantly.
After choosing the words again and again, She spits out one word and slams the door shut.
“…Because I’m worried.”
Clap!
“…”
Yes. I’m worried too.
It’s so unfair that I can’t go anywhere and complain.
—
Knock knock-
Miho’s private room.
He spoke at the same time as knocking.
“I’m going in. I’m going in.”
“Wait a minute.”
Surprisingly, the call to come in did not return.
After standing and waiting for a moment, she opened the door herself.
Squeak-
“Ivan, what’s going on?”
“Can I come in first?”
“…Of course.”
I was successful in getting in.
Although she wasn’t very welcome, she didn’t really refuse.
Actually, just a moment ago, it was Miho who helped me fly up while holding on to Carlson’s lover.
Now she could be said to be Ivan’s partner.
But, what I will do from now on.
The slight problem is that it will look a little strange to be her colleague.
It is inconvenient to have empty slots,
I came here just to get the ‘strongest skill’.
The condition was very ambiguous in that my hand had to touch her skin.
Body touch. For what reason are you touching me?
It would be strange to suddenly ask to shake hands.
But I succeeded in preparing a great excuse by walking all the way here.
Naturally, I grabbed the glass bottle on the desk.
“Do you remember the common sense I told you about last time?”
“…Is the scent still strong?”
“No. It’s moderately subtle. But-“
After opening the lid,
I dropped a couple of drops on my hand.
“I’m here to tell you something additional.”
“What kind of common sense is this?”
“It’s not common sense, but it’s new knowledge that I’ve been researching.”
A reason to touch in a very natural way.
He said, pointing to her tail.
“If you know how to apply it to the tail, you won’t be laughed at later, right?”
“…Okay, okay?”
“That’s right. Although it is said that you are the only person in the empire with a tail, you will shine even more if you manage yourself thoroughly.”
Actually, this is nonsense.
How do you know how to put perfume on your tail?
There are no beastmen on Earth, and I am not a lunatic who puts perfume on my pets.
But, just pretending to know is enough.
In any case, cross-verification is impossible given that she is the only prisoner in the empire.
“You should ask for understanding in advance.”
“…”
“Can I touch that tail for a moment?”
Please nod.
I’m not sure what the tail means to a beastman, but there’s no need to be that expensive.
And, her answer.
“…Are you okay?”
It was a rebuttal.
I keep getting questions every day.
“Yes?”
“Well… I told you last time. Touching my tail was necessary.”
What I said last time… Ah.
“It was very unpleasant.”
Damn. It was like that.
She didn’t know at the time that she had touched the tail, so that’s what she said.
I had to be shameless here.
At her instructors’ meeting, she showed the utmost shamelessness by saying that she was in a relationship with Ivan.
“I don’t remember.”
“What? No, wait. Are you serious-“
“Excuse me?”
No time was given to answer.
With her perfumed left hand, she gently held her tail.
“…Ugh.”
She moaned softly.
Let’s not do that. It feels weird.
Fox ears fluttering violently, and a tail desperately trying not to move.
I carefully go down,
Applied with perfume.
And then, I took a peek.
Visizik-
That’s it. I succeeded in copying it.
Jealousy: Sword Saint (1/1)
Just once. Even if it is disposable.
I am now able to reproduce the sword and swordsmanship of the world’s strongest person.
Because the purpose was achieved, I let go.
And it was restored.
Scarlet. Paula. Adela.
Okay. I haven’t forgotten anything.
It was successful in re-verifying the hypothesis.
“…Is this the end?”
“Yes. I think this is enough.”
Miho clears her throat a couple of times,
I am silent.
There is nothing better than a joke to ventilate the strange atmosphere.
In order to leave this place with light steps, I said a word in passing.
“I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. They’re lovers.”
“Now, wait-“
The moment the two letters ‘lover’ came out of my throat, Miho straightened her tail.
Why is this happening? Although it was self-deprecating, I thought it was a good joke.
Overreacting even though no one is listening-
Hiccup!
…I heard a hiccup.
“……”
The problem is that it is not Miho’s.
Hiccup! Hiccup!
That sound coming from the corner of the private room seems to be something I can tolerate.
Unable to stop, I was finally able to pinpoint its location.
I walked quietly and opened the long, vertical cabinet.
“……Who are you?”
There was a woman in it.
What is certain is that it is not a casting salary.
And, it’s not a completely unfamiliar face.
I feel like I’ve seen this before somewhere…
“Oh, hello?”
She answered in a threatening voice and tried to come out, but it didn’t work out because she forced herself into the cabinet with her adult body.
I carefully confirmed her name as I held her hand and pulled her out.
I checked the name, and at the same time, I remembered her title.
Adela’s exclusive secretary.
A person who had her work cut short during vacation.
“Are you Camilla?”
Welp the misunderstanding is gonna be fun
