Episode 21
They say that your true nature comes out only when your condition is bad.
I think I’m pretty modest.
It just stretched out. Like a dead mouse.
‘… … It’s too cumbersome to move.’
I just close my eyes and toss and turn in my thoughts.
‘I have to bring a new potion to Mr. Carrot’s shop to reduce my living expenses and budget… … .’
Thinking slowly too.
It was around the time I fell asleep.
… … .
how much sleep
The accident returns faintly again, and the sounds around you can also be heard vaguely.
It seemed that the burden caused by the amplification of mana had eased a little.
“… … It looks bad. are you okay? draft?”
who is there Emily? But it’s a little bit different.
clumsy
I carefully touch the area around my forehead, but it’s itchy.
“Okay, some water… … give it.”
My head isn’t working well, so I think I need to drink some water first.
“What, water?! … … Where are you?”
what are you doing
A strangely flustered presence. But soon he props my head up and puts something in his mouth.
Strange for a cup.
Something warm and soft touches your lips.
what?
I wondered, but the water flowed into my mouth properly, so I first passed it down my throat and opened my eyes.
Moisture is coming in, so now I can open my eyes… … .
“… … Oops?”
In an instant, I almost spurted water.
If you think about it, there was a sense of incongruity. It was oddly clumsy for such a quick-witted succubus.
“Woke up?”
Celidia asked in a faintly trembling voice as if she was a little embarrassed.
It deserves it.
For some reason, Celidia was holding my head with one hand while holding the other hand to my mouth.
Somehow, the water in that small hand is flowing into my mouth.
… … Is this a new type of torture?
Does water know the answer? no i don’t know anything
“water… … You asked for it.”
Celidia slightly averted her gaze and said.
“But I don’t know where it is.”
“so?”
“I realized that I can summon them using elemental magic.”
“That is a wonderful discovery.”
In addition, Celidia is a chimera of spirits. Just as a spirit summons elements to create water.
It means Celidia can use that theory to collect water as much as she wants.
“But why in the palm of your hand… … .”
“I was perplexed.”
Are you feeding the water that flows from your palms when you panic?
Well, he must have been worried that if he summoned water from the air because he was still clumsy, he would really torture him with water.
‘But if you think about it, isn’t this a rather subtle sight?’
He sipped the water from the girl’s palm.
Why do you feel immoral?
“… … draft?”
“Nothing. Rather than that, why are you Celidia?”
“I’m worried.”
It seemed that he was upset that we didn’t talk much.
From noble mtl dot com
“I heard from your devil. My condition is not getting better.”
“It’s just like muscle pain. More than anything else, Emily, what the hell was that guy explaining?”
Apparently, Emily is watching this scene from behind with a smirk.
I did it on purpose.
‘What are you thinking?’
(Don’t worry. This older sister talked about it reasonably well.)
‘So what?!’
Emily dives without permission even before questioning.
Meanwhile, Celidia muttered, “I must be really bad,” thinking about me.
“no… … Are you feeling better now?”
“Your complexion is not good. It’s pure white.”
“That’s riding.”
“Your hair is also black.”
Are you kidding me?
Well, I don’t know why, but those who practice black magic say that their complexion is slightly pale.
I’m not sure if it’s the magic effect or if it’s a proper setting.
In short, I am a body that I cannot choose for the rest of my life. Not even dyed.
Even if you wake up dead, you can’t be blonde and tan.
“are you okay. I will help you today.”
“hmm?”
“I came for that.”
Somehow Celidia confidently put my head back on the pillow and patted me while saying as if she had made a big decision.
“favor.”
“favor?”
“Since you helped me, I will help you a little.”
If I say that, I can’t even kick him out, so what’s the point?
He said he would help, but there wouldn’t be much for Celidia to do.
To the extent of feeding them with moderately brought food or helping with a few minor chores.
Most of that is because I’ve been rolling around, so I won’t have much to do.
In short, it would be all about watching me.
“I’m bored, but can I just go back?”
“are you okay.”
Saying this stubbornly, he shook his head and looked down at me.
Why is that a bit strange?
“You can sleep. … … Can you let me sleep?”
“Am I a baby?”
At least he’s a much older man than you.
“… … Since I’m already asleep, I can’t close my eyes easily, so let’s talk.”
“huh.”
It is not that there is nothing to say.
About what happened to Celidia.
Most of them were just excuses that they just rolled their heads and squeezed out, and Celidia seemed moderately convinced.
“Because there is nothing more for me to do and guide you. Let the rest work themselves out.”
“You mean don’t come anymore?”
“It’s not really like that.”
Somehow, it seemed that my ears were slightly folded, so I corrected it.
“Whether you come to play or what you do, you can do whatever you want. what… … Do you feel like a friend for now?”
“… … friend.”
hmm? Wasn’t it a bit like saying this?
But Celidia soon nodded with a relieved smile.
“okay. I’ll come anytime.”
whenever… … is it.
That would be impossible in the original game.
If I act as a villain as I was destined to do, I cannot say that my relationship with her is very good.
Even when I was pierced by the main character’s sword and died, he must have been one of those who watched with cold eyes, saying it was a natural retribution.
‘It’s safe to assume that at least one person escaped the death flag.’
Yes, yes, that way is much better.
“Then, please do well in the future. Celidia.”
“huh. draft.”
* * *
The 35th day of Xian’s splendid academy life.
“Excellent! Ajouwoo Woo Woo Woo Woo Ae -ae -ae! ”
match. match. match.
praise and applause.
There is a saying that compliments make even whales dance, but I don’t think that’s enough to break dance with your head on the floor.
Then the whale dies.
With heartfelt praise, the alchemy professor clapped again and again.
“Very good! draft! What a great result!”
Of course, the target is me.
Today’s class assignment was the preparation of medicines using alchemy.
It’s a buff potion named ‘Kite’s Feather’, and the effect is a temporary increase in agility.
《The Wings of the Kite》
《Item Grade B Rank》
《Additional effects have been added due to the high level of perfection.》
I just did a little trick.
“It’s just an overstatement. It was just prepared according to the combination table.”
“It’s not easy to get a feel for that combination!”
However, the professor doesn’t take his praise for my humble words.
“Do you know what the most determining factor in an annuity is?”
The secrets of alchemy, especially pharmacy.
the professor says
“Good job.”
The recipe is fixed.
Recent alchemy recipes are open to the public, so anyone can refer to them by proving the minimum qualifications.
But even so, the results of alchemy change depending on the person who handles it.
Why?
“The most important thing is the sense that goes beyond the recipe.”
Put in a spoonful of sugar, does it sound the same?
It’s a ridiculous statement, but it’s also a pretty key point.
‘After all, it’s a hand wash… … . No, it’s the speed of skills, levels, and stats.’
In short, skill.
For them, whether or not the undefined status and skills are reflected determines the outcome of the outcome.
Just as a martial artist wields a sword for quite a few years and controls the senses in infinitesimal units.
The same goes for alchemy.
“From what I’ve heard, it’s excellent. draft. To be honest, it’s a pity that you’re not in the alchemy class.”
“thank you.”
《I received an excellent evaluation in class.》
《Acquire experience.》
The professor’s praise and the experience points that come as a result.
‘It’s sweet… … .’
Studying was the easiest.
Anyway, now my life has been very smooth.
* * *
If you were to name three of the best newcomers to the academy, most teachers and students would mention them by name.
Year Chief Elcia Liolet.
Michelle Whistinil, an international student at the Forest of Wisdom.
And the dark-haired warlock Sian.
‘What is black hair… … . what kind of discrimination is this? And why isn’t there another main character? Is he on strike?’
Apparently, the main character failed to get the honor student position.
In any case, it means that I have properly succeeded in putting my image in the ranks of excellent students.
“Do humans like to share superiority and inferiority like this regardless of the era?”
Emily smiles meaningfully and plays with my hair, stroking it wildly.
“Isn’t the devil no different? The power you have and the hierarchy with those who have titles are clear.”
“Does it feel a little different? The ranks of demons exist according to their power and birth, and I don’t particularly envy or envy them.”
Saying that, Emily pokes my cheek and points to the surroundings.
eyes of other students.
“Only humans are jealous of the existence of others.”
“… … More than that, I think most of their jealous gazes are for other reasons.”
“oh?”
Emily taking off her pretense.
That’s right, look at the way they cling to each other in public places.
‘It’s an honor student, but it’s an honor student who can’t figure it out.’
me now If you listen closely to Xi’an’s evaluation, you can draw a truly erratic character.
Achieves near-perfect grades in all classes.
He gets attention from professors with his calm personality and extensive knowledge in everything.
However, most of the students have such a draft.
‘It’s difficult.’
It’s partly because of the image of a black magician, but he’s a genius who doesn’t know where he came from.
Whenever he is seen there, he is accompanied by an unknown beauty by his side, so it seems that he feels a sense of distance.
‘Well, it was half intentional… … .’
At one time, I even contemplated putting forward the slogan of “Friendly Xian, a friend of all.”
However, what was dismissed was that I was concerned about the consequences of the existence of a character called me.
‘I don’t know what kind of mess I’ll have to do… … .’
Affinity is, after all, a condition for event occurrence. You can even bring up things you don’t have to do.
“… … Poor our contractor. can’t do it This noona has no choice but to play a lot.”
make fun of
“More than that, Xian, haven’t you been studying at the academy lately? You think it’s better to serve your familiar for a bit?”
To be honest, I’m bored.
“Yes, yes, I was thinking of going to Carrot’s store to buy some potions on the weekend anyway. What are you going to do when you go out to town on the subject of demons?”
“Huh, while Xian was studying hard, this older sister overheard the other kids talking and found out what was going on.”
… … Why are you more motivated to play than me?
Perhaps more than a month after signing the contract, Emily is showing interest in various things in the human world.
Well, what can this poor friendless boy refuse to do when his succubus sister plays with him?
‘That doesn’t mean that human relationships are really bleak.’
Just when I was thinking that far, she suddenly jumped out, as if the nobleman couldn’t do it.
“draft.”
Celidia Milonil.
A student in the Spiritual Art class, a girl who might have originally been the heroine of the game.
“Sian, Sian.”
“… … I’m listening. Would you rather hide your presence and not come out from under the desk? They are usually surprised.”
“Cyan who doesn’t respond when called is bad.”
I didn’t react a little before, because I wanted to try to keep a distance, but it seems like I’ve pouted.
“And I heard.”
“Are you listening?”
“I want to go too. downtown.”
Apparently, I overheard what Emily and I were talking about.
