47 – Aka wheel – 47
“Priscilla! I’m here!”
bang! Raphael pushed open the door with a loud noise and entered the room shouting loudly.
“Raphael! The sound is too loud. What were you going to do if I was sleeping?”
“Of course, I checked to see if he was sleeping or not before coming in.”
“Raphael is really… … huh? La, la, Raphael! That thing on top of your head right now, what is that! Seriously, did you kidnap Gregory-sama?”
Priscilla puts on a shocked expression as she looks at what Raphael is holding above his head.
Even her lover of bugs and insects knew that the abduction was wrong.
“ha ha ha! Does Priscilla look like that too?”
Raphael, who carefully placed the shell next to himself, spoke proudly.
“This is Gregory’s molting shell.”
“yes? A molting shell?”
After hearing that, Priscilla regained her expression and cautiously approached.
She straightened her index finger. and stabbed Gregory in the shell.
“oh. Certainly, it is. Was Gregory a molting insect?”
“I was the first to know. It was noticed that Gregory didn’t even know. Gregory wanted to throw away the shell right away, so I brought it. how is it? Do you like it?”
“Ra, Raphael… … .”
Priscilla gave a thrilled expression to Raphael who said so in a confident tone.
“best… … ! it’s the best! ha… … .”
Priscilla stroked the belly of the molting shell with her pale white hand.
“So hard… … . smooth and… … . It’s new.”
“of course. Because it’s nothing else but Gregory’s shedding shell. And, this is not the end of the gift.”
“yes? Isn’t this the end… … .”
“braided! Rather, this is a real gift.”
A fruit that maintains a bright red color and emits a soft light. Seeing the fruit for the first time, Priscilla tilted her head.
“… … Is it an apple?”
“There’s no way such an ordinary fruit could shine, right? This is the Heavenly Department. It is a fruit that only grows in heaven.”
“You mean elixir? You know Raphael, right? My condition right now is that even if I take the elixir, my growth rate isn’t that high.”
“You can’t compare it to such an elixir! This is the elixir you need right now. You are my summoner, no one else.”
Raphael said as he forcibly squeezed the celestial fruit into Priscilla’s hand.
“Heaven is an elixir with the same attribute as me. Just eating can greatly increase your understanding of me. Perhaps, eating this will make a big difference for you too.”
“… … Is that enough?”
Raphael nodded vigorously at Priscilla’s words. Priscilla, who was staring into Raphael’s red eyes, nodded.
“Can I eat it right now?”
“Yeah, I’ll be by your side to make sure nothing happens.”
“… … yes!”
crunchy
Priscilla opened her small mouth and bit into the heavenly fruit.

About 30 minutes after Raphael left. I felt my body harden little by little.
“It seems that your strength has returned moderately.”
Leaving the sleeping Paimon behind, it spread its wings and started flying toward the academy.
Walker will stand guard today, so it would be appropriate to go to the main gate.
When I arrived at the front door and folded the wings, the walker who saw me let out a laugh.
“Why?”
“No, Raphael-sama said you would be a little late. It makes me smile a little when I see that.”
It’s not a very interesting story.
I said, ‘I see.’ I answered and went inside. Walker, who already knew the shape of my wheels, opened the door without saying anything.
Inside the academy, we are trying to avoid bugging as much as possible.
It was because when the students saw me, they either fainted or ran away as if they had a seizure.
I walked slowly to the 2nd year dormitory in human form, and when I entered, I saw someone collapsed in front of the elevator.
I went closer to check the smell, but it didn’t smell like alcohol. For some reason, he seemed to have fallen asleep here.
I gently shook her.
“Um… … ?”
“I’m out of my mind.”
“Hey, where is this?! My, why am I down here?”
“… … i want to ask How long have you been lying here?”
“Mo, I don’t know. I must have come out to get some fresh air… … monster, monster! I saw a monster!”
“monster?”
A monster in the 2nd year dormitory. Did the Holy Church invade?
No, it couldn’t have been. After that incident, Walker strengthened the academy’s security.
Then, besides that guy from the Imperial Academy, are there other demons?
“It’s pitch black… … A hideous insect-like creature… … aaagh! Just thinking about it scares me!”
wait for a sec.
“Perhaps the monster stood on its own two feet.”
“yes? yes that’s right!”
“Did you just stand still?”
“yes!”
Roughly, the flow of the story began to catch.
“It must have been a dream. Could it be that the monster didn’t look like the one you saw in the arena?”
“… … that’s right! wow, that’s right too. What a terrifying appearance it is, appearing in front of me in vain.”
“Your body seems to have weakened. Make sure to eat healthy food too.”
“Go, thank you.”
I picked the girl up and rode the elevator together. I’m on the 11th floor button. She rang the button for the 10th floor.
“The 11th floor… … You seem to be a great aristocrat.”
“Well, yes.”
First of all, because I have the title of grand duke.
“Looking at the female student dormitory, you must be a summoned person, right?”
“Well, yes.”
“The demon summoned on the 11th floor… … . I will definitely repay you later!”
belt ring. The elevator stopped making a noise. The girl got off the elevator and bowed to me.
“no. rather… … I’m sorry.”
“yes?”
rattle. and closing door.
It wasn’t until I was finally left alone in the elevator that I sighed.
“Raphael, what the hell is that damn angel doing with my shell?”
I’ve recently heard that a story about me has been included as one of the ten urban legends of Sumonia, but as the rumor grows, it only hurts my reputation.
When I opened the locked door and entered, I saw Rosé reading a book in the living room.
“I have been.”
“oh! Gregory! As Raphael-sama said, you came right away, right?”
“Okay, since you haven’t been sleeping until this time, are you doing some overdue assignments?”
“Exactly!”
“Right. Then, before going to bed, you met Raphael and heard my story?”
“yes!”
“… Then you know about the female student who passed out in front of the elevator.”
“yes yes?”
“Obviously, I must have passed out a female student while carrying my shell. You were shocked and ran away.”
“Ra, Raphael said there is no big problem! He told me that it would happen in a little while, and that it would be better to believe that I just saw this in my dream, so I pretended not to know!”
Rosé struggled at my sudden questioning and began to make excuses.
“that… … I saw Gregory-sama’s shell, so if I actually woke him up, he would have passed out again… … so… … .”
“so?”
“I’m sorry… … .”
Soon after, she put on a gloomy expression and lowered her head.
“Yeah, that was enough. However, if you see that student later, apologize for what happened then.”
“yes. I will definitely do it. I, by the way, Mr. Gregory.”
“Have you ever had another accident?”
Rose was taken aback by my words and shook her arms.
“Oh no! It’s not like that… … Gregory-sama felt a stronger power than usual. Did you go up to 3 stars by any chance?”
“You notice, too.”
Now it’s not even a wheel form, but a human form. I thought I could never guess from the outside, but my summoner, Rose, seemed to be an exception.
“hehehe, that’s right, I’m Gregory-sama’s summoner.”
“Now that you have a 3-star and 3-star relationship, you should aim for a 4-star and a 4-star, right?”
“yes? Is that going to be that fast?”
“Okay, I’ll have to see what you do.”
“oooh… … .”
After saying that, I stroked Rosé’s hair and walked into the room, leaving her behind.
It was because I wanted to take a shower to blow away my uncomfortable feeling before going to bed.
“… … Come to think of it. I haven’t used that skill before.”
This time, it went up to 3 stars and a new skill, Smell Increase.
Hearing the name only conjured up an image that made me smell better.
“Elevated sense of smell.”
I closed my eyes and tried the skill.
Activates [Skill: Increased Smell].
Even with my eyes closed, I feel something.
“… … Is this the smell of Rosé’s cigarettes?”
Sweet yet savory. Reverberation of burnt leaves of the World Tree.
The flow of the reverberation is felt by the sense of smell.
Even the distance and location were vaguely felt, as if a third eye had been created.
“… … It is beyond imagination.”
Even more surprising was the fact that I could even smell the smell across the room.
A rather strange smell was coming from Priscilla’s room.
It’s refreshing just to smell it, but it’s a painful smell that I don’t want to smell.
“… divine power.”
The devil’s instinct said that the smell was the smell of divine power.
“It looks like Priscilla has reached the 3rd circle.”
With this level of performance, it was as if I had a third eye.
“How strong are you, cockroaches… … .”
Even when I came to this world in the form of a wheel for the first time, I was the one who thought it was f*cked up.
Because the wheel was a terrible and repulsive thing.
Even human-sized wheels?
That in and of itself would be nothing short of a disaster.
However, this look really worked powerfully.
Enemies stunned at my sight, fell under my magic, and fell to their knees before my power.
“… … That’s terrible. Is there any other way?”
Thinking deeply, I took out the mask of abyss that had been returned to me by Raphael.
“transform.”
After transforming into wheel form, I looked at the customizing window that popped up in front of me.
It has now risen to 3 stars. There could be many more changes than last time.
“Would you like to touch it a little?”
While muttering that, I started adjusting the customization window little by little.

[Urban Legend of Sumonia 10]
When you walk around the alley late at night, your mental power is absorbed by a monster in the form of a bug crawling up from the abyss.
Occasionally you can spot this monster in the skies of Sumonia, and you should never look at it with your own eyes.
