Episode 73. clue (2)
dream world.
Puff- Puff- Puff-.
Thearesia lost her self in the bondage of pain that was repeated over and over again.
hook-.
‘again… … .’
hook-.
‘again.’
Puff- Puff-.
‘Again, again.’
Puff- Puff- Puff- Puff-!
‘Again, again, again, again… … .’
She was just a puppet pointing a spear at the wall.
A doll that is slowly getting tattered, and you never know when it will be completely destroyed.
Despite knowing that, Thearesia couldn’t stop stabbing.
How much time had passed like that?
hook-.
As always, when I poked a spear into the wall.
Something happened that had never happened before.
low-.
A wall with large cracks.
At this, Thearesia tilted her head.
‘why?’
It wasn’t long before a new wall appeared.
In order to break down the wall again, I still had to stab the spear for a long time.
Cracks in the wall out of nowhere?
awesome-.
The wall, which had been slowly widening the crack, soon collapsed.
Along with him, a huge hand made of light suddenly appeared from beyond the wall.
‘That’s… … ?’
Thearesia had a hunch.
It was that gigantic hand that brought down the wall.
The giant hand that appeared after breaking down the wall approached the doll called Thearesia and picked her up without hesitation.
In a similar way, Thearesia became a princess captured by a giant in a fairy tale.
In a way, it could have been a very dangerous scene, but Thearesia, the person in charge, felt an unknown warmth from the giant’s hand.
The warm warmth of a giant hand.
[hehehe~.]
A little hum.
and.
‘… A savory smell?’
The moment she realized this, she awoke from her dream.
Jump-.
Awesome-.
Thearesia hurriedly raised her upper body.

Muscle pain all over her body helped her recover quickly.
Waking up, she blinked at the unfamiliar situation.
‘ah?’
Anyone can see their own place.
However, in a bonfire that he had never lit, and that was not enough, a large pot made of stone was hanging over the fire.
And a trespasser squatting beside him.
“hehehe~ Huh?”
While humming a song and stirring the contents of the pot, Yuri found Thearesia awake and smiled happily.
“Are you awake?”
He put the contents of the stone kettle in a small wooden bowl and crept closer to Thearesia.
“Okay, take it.”
“… … .”
Thearesia haphazardly accepted what Yuri handed over.
Inside the wooden bowl, which seemed to have been recently carved, there was a generous amount of unidentified porridge.
The moment the steam rising warmly touched the tip of Thearesia’s nose, a savory smell filled it up.
Only then did she realize that this was the smell she smelled in her dream.
She stared blankly at the glass.
Yuri smiled benevolently as he looked at himself with a keen gaze.
“Come on, eat well so you can recover quickly.”
“now… What are you doing here?”
“Oh, don’t worry. This is not an act done out of selfishness. Just my very, very pure favor, favor!”
“… … ?”
Seeing Thearesia floating question marks above her head, Yuri put on a worldly kind and pure expression.
‘Ah, there’s no such thing as selfishness.’
Yuri really had no selfishness.
“I’m just doing this because I want our Tessha-senpai to eat well, get energy, and start training quickly.”
“… … ?”
You should get well soon. You’re going to start training soon, aren’t you going to sparring as soon as possible?
“That’s really all.”
“… … ?”
Yuri was really selfless.
“Is that really all there is to it?”
… maybe?
* * *
After John left, Yuri generously showed his kindness to Thearesia.
“Hey, what is this? People say that the bed is important! Only then will the fatigue of training be relieved! Come on, write this!”
Or gift a wooden bed you made yourself.
“Would you even have the strength to wield a spear after eating just this? Come on, give that to me and chew this!”
When Thearesia was eating dry food, he would suddenly come over and take the dry food from her hand and offer meat on a skewer instead.
“Wow, how did you live in a place like this? As a rule, the living environment also has a great influence on the physical condition! Come on, these are the leftovers from decorating my living quarters… … .”
He was making various things in Thearesia’s empty residence.
Yuri took care of Thearesia diligently and frugally.
But the problem is… Even if you took care of it, you took care of it too hard.
“ha… … .”
Seeing Yuri follow her into the arena, Thearesia let out a long sigh.
The woman who was walking ahead turned around and asked.
“Why are you doing this?”
“what?”
Yuri tilts his head as if he doesn’t know why.
At this, Thearesia’s fine army slightly distorted.
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“What did I do?”
“why… Why are you being nice to me?”
Yuri’s expression darkened.
“I’m really, really good at it.”
“… what?”
“If you don’t like being favored, you can always refuse. What kind of case would it be for you to accept everything you give, and now ask why you are good to me?”
“… … .”
Thearesia’s eyes shook at that sharp accusation.
To be honest, she didn’t hate being nice to Yuri either.
no, it was good
how would you hate
For the first time since coming into the cradle, I slept in a cot like a bed.
I ate food that was not dry.
The empty living quarters are now beginning to show signs of being inhabited.
That’s all the changes made by glass.
It was a change that happened in just a few days.
Even so, it was because Thearesia was burdened with saying this.
she sighed softly.
“ha… Yeah, to be honest, I already knew why you were nice to me.”
At that, Yuri waved her hand.
“hahahaha, what are you talking about! What do you want? It’s just my pure favor! favor!”
“You are good to me… It’s because they want to increase the number of sparring sessions.”
“… … ?!”
Yuri’s pupils trembled.
‘uh… How did know?’
Did you get that tea?
Am I just being nice?
What part did you notice?
Wouldn’t that have been the case?!
A thousand thoughts ran through Yuri’s head.
Thearesia realized that her guess was correct, seeing Yuri’s pupils who were suddenly speechless and swaying at a loss of direction.
Her sigh grew deeper.
“ha… don’t be nice to me honestly a little… No, it is very burdensome.”
“that… … .”
“I understand well how you want to earn points.”
“… … ?”
“You want to increase the number of matches for points, right? But no matter how nice you are to me, it’s hard to increase the number of sparring due to my current ability.”
“… … ?”
“I also want to increase the number of sparring sessions. But if I recklessly increase my sparring, my expenses will become too large.”
“… … .”
Yuri stared blankly at Thearesia.
Then I realized.
‘Ah, so this person thinks my purpose is a point?’
Originally, Yuri’s purpose was in Dalian itself.
To increase sparring and receive as many brittleness as possible.
However, Thearesia believed that Yuri’s purpose was the point.
He thought he was being nice to himself in order to earn more points by increasing the number of sparring sessions.
I felt a burden because of it.
Yuri, who understood everything, suddenly burst into anger.
“No, what do you look at a real person for?”
“… … ?”
“Do I look like a person who reveals only certain points?”
“Wasn’t it?”
“Of course not!”
Yuri proudly stuck out her chest.
“I also take the goods!”
“… … ?”
“Or I got the information too!”
“… … .”
Thearesia, whose thoughts had hardened for a moment.
After a while, she understood Yuri’s meaning and let out a deep sigh.
“ah… It wasn’t just revealing the point, but revealing other things as well.”
“Of course, unbalanced eating is not good for the body.”
You say I’m good at sparring to earn points?
Did Thearesia misunderstand that?
‘Oh my God, I’m so grateful!’
Yuri’s eyes flashed.
“Yeah, I’ll be honest and tell you that this is what happened. In the future, I will give you 10,000 points, or anything equivalent to it, at any time.”
“hmm… … .”
Thearesia was troubled.
It was because Yuri’s proposal was better than expected.
‘Rather than 10,000 points worth of goods… Information would be better.’
Since she didn’t have anything right now, her mind was focused on information.
Thearesia asked insinuatingly.
“… How will you value information? How are you going to determine whether the information I give you is worth 10,000 points or not?”
“I will figure it out on my own. If the information is useful to me, I may pay more than 10,000 points. Don’t worry, I’ll price you very, very, very conscientiously.”
After hearing Yuri’s answer, Thearesia nodded.
It was definitely not bad conditions.
Because she too had been hoping for frequent sparring with Yuri.
“good. do it.”
Yuri’s smile deepened at her confirmation.
‘It’s good.’
Not that it wasn’t, it was really good.
It wasn’t enough that the other party laid out the board on their own, it was like they laid out their own cards and put the stakes on top.
10,000 points, spot, information.
He succeeded in increasing the number of sparring, which was his original purpose, so he was not harmed even if he received anything.
Whatever it is, there is only benefit.
‘On top of that, it’s easy to set 10,000 points for roughly usable information and moderately increase the number of sparring sessions.’
Yuri’s eyes bent like crescent moons.
“Sleep, then… … .”
He rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining.
“How is it today… Do you want to have a sparring match?”
“I will.”
“What are you going to pay for? point? cash? information?”
“… I will do it with information.”
“Good information! Excellent choice!”
Yuri smiled broadly.
* * *
In the past, Thearesia’s exclusive training ground.
And a cave that is now used as a sparring ground.
A series of metallic sounds and explosions came from within.
visor-!
bang-!
Yuri and Thearesia.
After signing a new Dalian contract, they continued Dalian without a day off.
A battle of swords and spears.
Furthermore, the competition between speed and speed continued for several days.
However, in Dalian so far, no one has ever had a perfect victory.
All of them exceeded 100 points, and the sparring ended naturally.
And today’s Dalian was the same.
A situation where no one has a perfect chance to win.
But there was a difference.
It was the ratio of air defense.
The ratio of attacks in the first sparring was almost 50:50.
However, in the next match, the ratio went over to Yuri.
Right now, Yuri was 55 and Thearesia was 45.
Yuri’s attack rate increased, and Thearesia’s defense rate naturally increased.
And that in just a few days.
Realizing this fact, Thearesia gritted her teeth.
‘also… different.’
Even though the width of growth was different, it was so different.
When he took a step, the guy in front of him took several steps forward.
Thearesia had no choice but to intuit.
Sooner or later, of course, the ratio of the battles will be completely broken, and the day will come when you will be clearly pushed back.
That day might come sooner than you think.
But that was her mistake.
visor-.
‘Here on the left.’
Kang-!
‘Next time I’ll dig down.’
bang-!
‘This is how I always respond to this attack.’
The ratio of attack and defense has already collapsed.
Only Thearesia did not notice this.
