next day.
As usual, I woke up at 4 in the morning, and when I realized that my body had not returned to its original state, I despaired.
It’s Friday and school starts next Monday, so I have about three days left.
The last time I took the medicine, it must have been about three days, and my body returned to its original state, but I don’t know why it is still in this state.
‘I can’t help it.’
All you have to do is take your time as much as possible.
Before my parents woke up, I sneaked out of the living room and put the vegetable box I brought yesterday on the table, and I left a note.
[Vegetables I got from helping my seniors with farming, so use them as you like.]
Then I woke up Saya, who was still in a sweet sleep, and went jogging in the morning.
“Ugh, I’m sleepy… 」
Being a ghost and liking to sleep at night, this guy is a different kind of thing.
I rubbed my eyes and looked at Saya floating in the air, then started to run lightly.
“Hook, hook, hook, hook.”
The body is heavier than usual.
Perhaps it was because he had changed into a childish form.
The effort I had accumulated over the past two years had gone to waste in an instant, but it turned out to be better than I expected.
It was because I was confident that I would be much more proficient in building my muscles if I did it again from the beginning because it was a road I had already passed once.
Does this mean going back to the beginning?
Arriving in about an hour, twice the length of a course that would normally have taken 30 minutes, I felt my breath hit the tip of my chin and collapsed on the grass.
The morning sun had not yet risen, and the sky was only now tinged with dim light.
Saya, who was floating in the air, asked me with a tired expression.
“Why are you working out so hard?”
“Just because I like it.”
At first, I started exercising to get through the world of Rubco where I didn’t know what was going to happen, but now I’m just doing it because I love it.
There is a thing called runner’s high in the exercise term, and it is said that it is painful until it reaches a certain line, but when it crosses that line, endorphins are released from the brain, which gives a feeling of happiness.
I was feeling this runner’s high at the gym.
And after hearing this explanation, Saya said.
“You are an exercise addict.”
“I know.”
After answering like that, after a bit of a short breath, I jumped up from my upper body.
The whole body is drenched in sweat.
Obviously, the high-intensity aerobic exercise I used to do seemed too difficult for my current body to digest.
After drinking water by the tap, I started practicing Hayate in a vacant lot.
“Suck!”
Hayate consists of a total of seven movements.
Among them, the first type, Kamitachi, was originally a technique similar to slashing, and it was a technique to hit the head when the opponent looked at his bare hands and was careless.
Of course, without a flag, it is just an ordinary hand grabbing.
There’s no way to really kill people in the love-comedy universe, so it’s usually sealed.
And the next move I would learn after kamaitachi was the second type, the gale (hayate).
A one-hit deadly technique that charges at high speed and bites the enemy’s throat.
Like a kwonbeop originally developed for assassination, this one and that one boasted a heinous lethality.
I wonder if this is really the case in the peaceful world of Rubco, but it didn’t seem strange to me considering the jump’s unique martial arts drift.
‘Am I unwittingly tainted by this worldview?’
When I think about it that way, I get a little goosebumps.
Fortunately, the flurry had something in common with Lee Mun-Jeong-Ju of the octagonal circle, a technique I knew before.
In a nutshell, approaching in the blink of an eye is to grab the opponent’s collar.
It was easier to understand than Kamitachi, which I didn’t understand at first.
I practiced the windstorm until the sun came up, and then I saw people gathering in the park and decided to stop.
Because it wasn’t just today.
“Then… I have to go home now.”
To be honest, it was a bit daunting.
No matter how much my parents say they spend most of the day in the store, they were not confident that they would never meet each other while they were at home.
Anyway, I have to eat breakfast and take a shower, so I have to go home.
I decided to go home with Saya with a face full of anxiety and concern.
***
“I’m home….”
I spoke quietly and looked at the movement in the house.
Fortunately, my parents didn’t seem to be at home.
Once I went into the kitchen to drink water, I noticed that the vegetable box was gone.
I think my mother saw the note I left.
After drinking a cup of barley tea, I finished taking a shower.
Then, after filling a meal with instant curry, I changed clothes to go out again.
Saya, who was watching me from the side, asked.
“Are you going out again?”
“Uh. First of all, I have to do something about my physical condition. Then I’ll go see Ryuji.”
“Then let’s go quickly.”
The guy who was negative until just a moment ago has a high level of attitude change.
I smiled and looked at her brazen face, then picked up the phone from the desk.
In this situation, he was the only one who could ask for help.
Alexandra Ivanovna Romanova
I clicked Sasha’s name on the address book.
A beep sounds for a moment,
drop!
[Kim Yoo-seong? What happened all of a sudden?]
Sasha’s voice, which seemed to have been heard for a long time, came from over the receiver.
***
Sasha’s appointment was at a luxury hotel near Akihabara.
They seem to be living in the entire suite on the top floor of this place.
Indeed, it was an idea that ordinary people could not even think of.
When I said Sasha’s name at the front desk on the first floor of the hotel, the staff guided me in a polite manner.
Just take the elevator and go to the top floor.
ding!
As the door opened to the left and right, the first thing he saw was the huge body of Ivan’s subordinate, Boris.
I felt it when I saw it before, but it’s really huge.
In his current state, which is much shorter than his original height, he had to step back a few steps to see his face.
Standing with his usual expressionless face, he noticed me and wriggled his eyebrows.
But then he spoke in a blunt voice as if nothing had happened.
“Follow me (Atashi).”
Surprisingly, after not seeing him for a while, Boris seems to have learned Japanese.
The pronunciation was a bit awkward, but it was understandable.
But perhaps he learned from watching the anime, he was speaking like a high school girl.
Perhaps it was the influence of the otaku Sasha, but it was fun, so I decided to leave it alone.
If you find out about this later, you’ll be in a lot of pain.
Following Boris as we walked down the short hallway, a large living room appeared in front of us.
There Sasha was sitting on the sofa with a relaxed expression.
“Are you here? Kim Yoo-seong.”
As she said that, she turned her head and stopped.
I found myself getting smaller.
“Really… small.”
I sighed a little.
“What good is it that I lied about this?”
Either way, Sasha got up from her seat, brought her face closer, and said something interesting.
“It’s okay to look smaller in its own way. I prefer to have muscles.”
I pulled back, avoiding her face that was too close, realizing that my escape route was blocked.
Saya, who was next to her at that time, said.
“Can I help you?”
I nodded hastily, and she blew ice breath into Sasha’s ear.
Then Sasha’s body hardened instantly.
I quickly escaped from the noose made by my arms.
Five seconds later, Sasha looked down at her body as if curiously as if her body had started moving again.
“What did you do to me just before?”
“I didn’t do anything.”
It was true.
Because it was Saya, not me.
Sasha, who looked at me with tired eyes as if asking questions, sighed a little and said.
“Well. You’ll find out if you listen to the details. Sit down.”
I sat down on the sofa as she suggested.
On the other hand, Saya was looking around the suite with a curious expression.
“What do you like to drink?”
“Oh, I have nothing to hide.”
“Then I will prepare tea.”
Sasagya said so and blinked, Boris went into the kitchen.
“Then let’s get to the point…”
Sasha asked, sitting on the sofa, crossing her legs.
“Can you tell me how the body got into that condition?”
I nodded and opened my mouth.
“It’s a bit long to start talking about. I started by going to the ninja village at the suggestion of my senior at school, Fuuma-senpai…”
“Ninja!”
Sasha reacted to certain words.
“Are you referring to the Kunoichi you saw last time?”
It seems that Fuuma-senpai left a strong impression on Sasha at the first meeting.
“That’s right.”
Anyway, it made the story easier to explain in that I didn’t question the word ninja.
“I went to the ninja village, and received orders from Fuuma-senpai’s grandfather to defeat the snow maiden in the mountain behind the village.”
“Wow! Snow Nyeo!”
… This guy doesn’t look like that, but his reaction is Hyeja.
What can’t I say
