161 – A friend I met after a long time
Should I say that half a year has already passed since I regressed?
I can proudly say that I have lived an extraordinarily busy half year while living a whopping 100 years of life, but my fate was still struggling to make me suffer even more.
“Ah, it was a hot summer in which the green sprout grew as a tree. In the meantime, the students also acted thinking that they were students of the Empire’s arcade academy… .”
But I don’t think there’s any need to struggle with this.
Standing and listening to the comment that I’ve heard for more than 10 times, my mind becomes distant.
While something happened, the comment that the vice-principal spat out didn’t change even once.
In fact, even if it’s not a regression, that comment is the same from 1st grade, 2nd grade, and 3rd grade, so even if it’s only 2nd grade, I’m going to close my eyes because I’m tired of those unnecessarily long words that have no content.
“…Five.”
However, Lane, a real freshman next to her, exclaims as if she was inspired by the words of the principal. Just because you’ve experienced real combat doesn’t mean your mind is completely mature.
In fact, his fighting sense and his thinking in that direction have jumped to the point of being embarrassing compared to half a year ago, but Lane is still an academy student who has just turned 20. No matter how meaningless the vice-principal’s words are, if they are the words of the ‘arcade academy vice-principal’, it will be like this.
“… … Huh!?”
Of course, except for Prin, who started half asleep with her head down there, most of the first graders focused on the vice principal’s words.
On the contrary, the 2nd and 3rd graders were passing the time while staring at the empty space halfway, and the 4th graders were looking at each other and talking through the whole tone.
yes that is normal
That is normal for the students I know to hold the opening ceremony.
[So, please play with me.]
[Oh, do you want to play Trump too?]
[call.]
So I’m normal too.
*****
When the first-year students, who had been listening intently to the principal’s words for 25 minutes, were mentally exhausted, a savior appeared from afar.
“How many minutes are you talking about!!”
“Kwuweek!!”
With a beautiful pose, Skaya blew a drop kick at the plump belly of the sympathy.
The seniors were surprised by the new event and applauded Skaya’s actions.
And one word from Skaya.
“Work hard in the second semester, take the exam well. It’s over!”
aaa!!!!
From the splendid appearance of Skaya to the beautiful ending, students shouted and ran out of the auditorium. Morning classes are waiting, but more than that, it is just a class for the joy of escaping from the prison of the vice principal’s words.
“You look happy.”
“… . long time no see?”
As I was watching the academy students running outside, Spear, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, sat lightly next to me.
“Yes? revenge… No, the one who sees me, not the goddess of betrayal.”
When I found out about Rianne’s true past, I met the Spear that I knew only in body, but in spirit, it was Rachel, so it’s been about 4 months since I’ve been talking to Spear like this.
In the auditorium where the students rushed out, Prin, Lane, and Minel saw me and slipped away.
When the two of us suddenly came, I pointed to the door and spoke to her in a tone not different from usual.
“Would you like to take a walk first?”
“Good.”
The academy students who have already disappeared immediately walk along the path that has passed, trudging along like a spear.
What should I say first?
There were so many things I wanted to ask, but when we met, what should we say?
“… The memory came back while I was praying.”
While contemplating what to say, Sphere struck first.
“While I was praying to Rachel-sama as usual, I lost my body and had a conversation with Rachel-sama… I remembered everything after meeting the Goddess at that time.”
“From where to where?”
“Literally from start to finish… I don’t think I told you to live a good life after death, but I think it’s a bit like living a good life like Hogu until after death.”
“I had no intention of doing that either. But somehow it happened.”
“That’s it… It was a bit odd that it ended with . Did my death really shock you?”
“yes.”
I can say this.
At that time, the experience of a friend dying to a little boy who knew nothing remained a trauma until the fourth life.
When Spear died in front of his eyes.
The feeling of helplessness that I couldn’t do anything and the experience of my hair turning pure white as if the blood drained from my whole body was rare among my experiences after returning.
“The first death. He didn’t die while fighting, he died while running away with me.”
“Yes. Just because I wanted to fight… .”
“It’s not your fault. At least at that time, if I had used my strength, I would have lived.”
After Spear died, I rushed into the fight in anger, and although I was wounded, I was able to defeat it enough.
It was only an intermediate level demon. When I went to Demon King’s Territory, I was afraid of so many monsters that I was hit by the road, so I persuaded Spear to run away, and that persuasion continued in front of the demons as well.
there’s no way you can win
We’re just academy students.
In a little while, an engineer will come and help you.
Spear said absurd things and asked to run away, but Spear did not run away and continued to fight.
Unlike me, who was in a hurry to run away from the situation in front of me, Spear, who lived only in the corner of the room, fought with a dying spirit as if to prove that he inherited the blood of the Prison Margrave, known as the Shield of the North.
And died.
He died after being pierced through the heart by the claws of demons.
And the memory just flew by. After Spear died in front of his eyes, he swung the spear as his body guided him, and as a result, he was able to kill the mid-level demon tribe.
“If the two fought, both could have survived.”
“Maybe. You actually saved me in my second life, right?”
“Of course. If I run away even then, I am not a human child.”
“That’s it.”
“… Hey, you died once, but that’s how it is.”
I’m not going to say it, but being alive after dying is never a pleasant experience.
It wasn’t that he died in an unusual way like me, but the death itself was so damn f*cked up, and even Spear was only one death to be called an ordinary death, but he died with the devil’s claws piercing his heart and bleeding profusely.
“I am satisfied. Thanks to this, I met the Goddess in person and had an interview, and I became the hero’s best friend, right?”
“Oh yeah… Are you satisfied with that?”
“What can I not be satisfied with? Besides, I have no regrets in this life. Unlike the warriors who live elsewhere, I’ve done almost everything I can, thanks to enjoying a natural life and ending my five lives.”
Glad then
Unlike me, the fact that he enjoyed a natural life and died means that he lived to be at least 120 years old, and he was never killed by anyone.
“Then you must have seen your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.”
“yes? I am not married?”
“…yes?”
not married?
“Didn’t your family object?”
“Yeah, because you said you would protect your virginity, so your father cried and liked it?”
Oh right. The Marquis wasn’t an ordinary daughter-in-law.
On the contrary, if Spear is getting married, it is not strange to tear Spear’s boyfriend’s family name with that proud ice spear.
“I was originally destined to die. But thanks to you, I’ve lived long enough to match those elves… I was satisfied. That’s why I told Rachel-sama that you would lend me your body until you hit that goddess.”
“okay… .”
It wouldn’t have been easy to choose to lend one’s body, but just as I was about to lightly bow my head toward the spear that spoke so simply, a book blocked my head.
“No thanks or apology needed. This is my obsession. So you just have to accept my insistence.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Knowing Spear’s stubbornness, I quietly raised my head and walked down the street. After lending my body to Rachel again, if something big happens again, I won’t have time to talk to me, so I had to do it now, so I accepted her words and continued talking with Spear for the first time in a while.
“Oh right.”
“What else is going on?”
“No, there was something the goddess told me to do.”
Big, big!
Sensitively clearing his throat, Spear brought his face closer to me and said words he had never heard before.
“Well then, shall we go? West.”
“What… .”
[Mission: Spear and Sweet Honeymoon♥ has been cleared.]
[40,000 coins are given.]
[Total number of coins: 368,210 coins]
Watching Spear giggle at my reaction, I followed her, clutching my throbbing hair.
After enjoying the heavenly life, it seems that his personality has changed as well.
