179 – Future Hope is Always President #1
people are amazing
Whatever the situation, you will eventually adapt.
In the past few days, I have almost perfectly adapted to prison life.
On the one hand, it was a natural story.
I also got used to being a character in a game all of a sudden.
It doesn’t make sense if you can’t adapt to prison life at most.
By the way.
Is it normal to adapt to prison?
“Did my hair get really weird? It looks like an ant is moving.”
My prison cell without even sunlight.
An ant was squirming under a small candlelight.
Yes, ants can move.
But it’s not just moving normally.
It bothers me because he procrastinates as if he is creating black letters.
“what?”
I held the candle in my hand and took a closer look at the ants.
The words written on the cold stone floor read, “Victor, do your best. I’m getting a lot of petitions!”
There’s no way the ants will cheer me on, maybe—.
“Is it Nike?”
It must have been that Nike manipulated the ants to send me a message.
I don’t know how, but maybe Nike’s druid level went up.
crap.
The ants move again.
“This Arnoid is also working hard to acquit Viktor, the chef…” ! Ah, Arnoi, you can’t waste words on your own… ! hehehehe… ! This Ariole also wants to say a word… !”
「Anyway, in many ways, everyone is busy moving… ! Viktor, give me a little more strength… ! ohhhhh… ! beee… . Guys, the number of characters is running out… ! Ah, the letter ants have left… .”
“What should I say… .”
Even without me, the club room seemed to be bright.
And it seemed like he was trying in many ways for me.
Even in a situation where I might make a mistake and be criticized by everyone, I was moved and reflected on the fact that there is someone who can step up and step up towards me.
“I was too careless.”
If I am free, I will be careful not to let this happen again.
Promising so many times, I went to sleep.
So the time passes that I don’t know if it’s night or day.
Chunk.
The iron door opened.
“Victor, temporary parole.”
It’s temporary parole.
It was a strange word.
I went out through the iron window.
And I climbed the endless stairs of the prison building and finally came out on the ground again.
“Is it morning?”
The sun is shining.
The air is fresh too.
I feel like this.
It seems like it’s been quite a while since the day I was discharged.
If there is a difference from the discharge day, is it that someone was waiting for me in front of the detention center?
It was a girl with silver hair and golden eyes.
“Your name is—”
“Vicky. You can call it that.”
He was the girl who was victimized when I made a mistake in the bathroom.
The name is Vicky.
“So, are you going to keep your promise?”
“If it’s a promise… .”
“What perfume does Miss Victoria wear? You said you would tell me what cosmetics to use.”
“Yeah.”
I’m a bit shy with my mouth, but I’m a person who keeps promises.
So today, at the request of the victim, Vicky, it seemed like I was temporarily released on parole.
If I walk around the city with this guy today and show my attitude of reflection, there is a high probability that he will forgive me for my sins.
“Look at what you do. I’ll tell Priest Éclair. You know that Priest Éclair is a priest of Holy Hwangcheong, so he has the qualifications to exonerate imprisoned criminals, right?”
“is it.”
Because indulgences exist in the world.
Free the imprisoned prisoner with the authority of the priest – it wouldn’t be strange if it happened.
With that feeling, I headed downtown with the guy who identified himself as out of the way.
The first place I go to is the “makeup shop”.
This is a place often visited in the game when changing the makeup of the heroines’ faces, and it was a must-visit place when putting on skins such as 「Snow White」 or 「Fairy Skin」, which are types of makeup for Victoria.
“Oh my, hello.”
A clerk with stylish curly hair approached us, perhaps noticing that a customer had arrived.
She immediately said, “You are a wonderful woman. A date?”
Of course, I just lightly replied, “I’m not that soft-spoken.”
I said lightly.
“I’d like to see if there are any ‘Fairy Skin’ cosmetics.”
“Oh, of course there is. But aren’t these the cosmetics that women would use? If you look at the skin tone and the shape of your face, “Fairy Skin” probably doesn’t suit you.”
The clerk was also a professional.
“Here, how about the sophisticated ladies’ Blossom Waltz? I think it would fit perfectly. Because your eyes are pretty too.”
The clerk seemed to understand at once that Victorica’s makeup, “Fairy Skin,” did not suit Vicky. But Vicky is pretty reckless.
“Please use that “fairy skin”.”
I want to use cosmetics like Gearco Victorica. Is this?
In the end, the clerk sold Vicky lotion that cost 500,000 Renae a bottle.
* * *
“how? Do you look a little like me now?”
Leaving the cosmetics store, Vicky asks me.
He already had a lot of starlight-like powder on his face.
To be honest, it didn’t suit me.
“no.”
“… … .”
“But I’m sure it will look like the next few more places. change clothes first Because Victoria likes to reveal her sleeves. You should wear sleeveless too.”
We stopped at a clothing store.
Purchases include sleeveless blouses and shirts that Victoria likes to wear.
But there’s a problem.
“Sir, the size is not right. There is too much left in the chest area.”
The clothes that Victoria usually wears are not the right size for Vicky.
The clerk looked around Vicky’s chest with a tape measure and said.
“70D… . At this rate, I think the clothes here are prettier than these sleeveless clothes. Just in time, a new dress came in.”
70D?
It was a strangely familiar number.
“I still want to wear this. How come there is no way?”
Of course, my thoughts were drowned out by Vicky’s words.
Soon, the clerk looked around with a serious expression and spoke softly.
“There is a magic support pad specially made to order by the Blackstar family… . If you try it, you might be able to wear it.”
“Then give me that.”
“It will be expensive, is that okay?”
“it’s okay.”
In the end, Vicky bought a strange magic assist device and sleeveless clothes.
Dressed like that, it seems that she resembles Victoria quite a bit.
But.
There was a sense of awkwardness, as if wearing someone else’s clothes.
“Your arms are cool.”
Of course, Vicky, who came out of the store, smiled contentedly.
Do you feel that good?
Then Vicky stops abruptly.
The place where Vicky’s golden eyes were heading was in front of a boy crouching in the city streets.
Scruffy boy and girl.
Are they siblings?
“This Ludens, where the gods feel closest, there are vagabonds even in places like this.”
“Because this Ludens is also a place where people live after all.”
Vicky looked around.
He went into a nearby grocery store, grabbed a piece of dry bread, and held it out to the scruffy brother and sister. Then, he wipes the siblings’ faces with a handkerchief, who are so filthy that even approaching them is unclean.
“You have to live strong. If you live steadfastly, there will come a day when a bright light will emerge in your life as well.”
“Whoa, sister. Go, thank you.”
“I will eat well.”
The siblings bow their heads toward us and run away.
About this I spoke lightly.
“If it was Victoria, I wouldn’t have acted like that. He doesn’t carelessly show sympathy to others.”
“It can’t be. Miss Victoria gave me something to eat for the night while I was beaten down… .”
Vicky, who was about to say something, shut her mouth.
There was a time when it seemed like it would be awkward for a while.
“Look at that. Miss Victoria and Victor.”
“Look where you are.”
There were whispers here and there to see if anyone recognized us.
Of course, “You look like a different person” or “Wasn’t Viktor going to prison? I heard you committed some kind of arson… .” I hear an additional story, which makes my heart feel very uncomfortable.
Rather, what is arson?
What kind of rumors are going around?
But Vicky seemed to be doing just fine.
The guy said, “Did you hear? He looked at me and said Miss Victoria. Do I look like that?” he was delighted.
To be honest, I can’t help but wonder at this point.
“Vicky, why do you want to be like Victoria so much?”
“that’s… . then no?”
“No, it’s not bad. Your case is a bit disappointing. To be honest, you seem like a great person in your own right. You don’t even have to copy Victoria.”
Watching him distribute bread to the poor, I was able to recognize that this guy was not a bad guy.
Wiping the dirty faces of children who may be suffering from another disease.
I don’t think it’s a skill I’ve done once or twice.
However, it seems that my story went against Vicky’s heart, and he said, “This is the end of today,” and left somewhere.
It was time for me to feel the vast freedom of wanting to know where to go now.
“Victor.”
Someone called me and I turned around and saw a familiar face.
* * *
girl Vicky.
When I think of my childhood, there is always only hunger.
So I stole the bread.
It wasn’t even a big loaf.
little bread.
Bread that no one will know even if it is gone.
But I got caught.
Even though he was the same age, he was a boy with scary eyes like a hunting dog.
“You there, don’t steal.”
Vicky, cornered in an instant, was beaten like lightning.
My cheeks burned and my eyes flashed like lightning.
Vicky was imprisoned even though she was only a little girl of five years old.
got pointed at by people
“Ugh, this is why I don’t have parents… .”
“So, what about him?”
Vicky was sad.
This is Vicky’s old memory.
Of course, it wasn’t just sadness.
That night.
Because someone came looking for Vicky, who is imprisoned in the prison of the village chief’s house.
His face was dark, so it was hard to see, but judging by his body, he looked like a child.
bell? Hans? No, I don’t think so.
“… … .”
Someone handed out bread without a word.
Bread for the first time in my life.
“Fresh Cream Cake”.
Since the war broke out, only one person has been able to eat such delicious food around this countryside. There are only the Duke and his daughter Victoria, who have come to inspect the streets today.
Belle, the richest man in town, wouldn’t have eaten a cake like this.
Palak.
A small note was written on the side of the cake.
“eat. And in the future, you can’t do things like stealing. I don’t know if I’ll get hit again by a scary person like ‘Victor’. And again, they say that the poorer you are, the more confident you should be. Don’t even become poor.”
what a merciful person
It was a world apart from her fiancée, a heartless little boy named Viktor.
Vicky, Eclair Vicky came to respect Victoria on this day.
The dazzling light itself reflected in the poor life.
The sweet taste of the day still lingers in Eclair Vicky’s mouth.
I will never forget it for the rest of my life.
‘No matter what I eat, I can’t taste that cake at that time.’
So close.
So Eclair asked her idol sitting in front of her.
“Miss Victoria, is your dinner good?”
“Yeah. This is the most expensive store. Victory Restaurant. There’s no way it’s not tasty. Rather, Eclair, what are you trying to do? Don’t you know that you and I can’t get married?”
“Of course it is. But on the surface, I am known as a man. Rather than having arranged marriages with pot-bellied middle-aged priests, Miss Victoria would rather have a sham marriage with me… .”
Eclair shut her mouth.
It’s because the fresh-looking chef brought out the cake.
“Thank you, Rebekah.”
Victoriaka greeted the chef and spoke softly.
“By the way. Why do you want to do that to me? I don’t remember doing anything special to you.”
Regarding this, Eclair once again admired.
What a humble girl.
So Eclair decided to tell her about the precious memories of herself and Lady Victoria.
A memory that I treasured in my heart.
Like a person looking at a gold coin wrapped in a wrapping cloth whenever they are having a hard time, I thought it would be nice to talk about the memories I cherished today.
“Miss Victoria, do you remember? That day, the day I was beaten by Victor.”
“I don’t remember. Viktor hit you hard for stealing bread. Back then, Viktor was a bit like that, to be honest. Did you break your nose?”
“that’s right. I struggled a bit then. Still, I learned one thing for sure. You shouldn’t commit a crime because you have no parents and are poor. Rather, it means living more honestly.”
“yes?”
“Yes. Because he was beaten badly by Viktor. Even now, when it rains, sometimes my nose or cheeks ache. How hard you really hit me, you bastard.”
Eclair touched her cheek and said it like a joke.
Then Victorica drank the water from the clear glass and answered lightly.
“But, if Viktor hadn’t punished you back then, it might have been worse. That bread, the Arkwright family kept it for communion, right? Perhaps he was excommunicated from the church.”
Communion bread.
stir.
Eclair’s heart sank at this familiar word.
Because Eclair, who became a priest of Seonghwangcheong, knew the ‘power’ of that word better than anyone else.
Even if a person who is excommunicated dies, he cannot go to heaven full of amusements of the gods.
Even if you commit a sin, you will not be forgiven.
“At that time, Viktor hit you so hard that everyone clung to you and tore you off and dried you. So there was a saying that we should watch it because it was so right. In fact, there was no other punishment.”
“… Did you?”
“yes. Well, I don’t think Viktor did it on purpose to save you. In a way, you were lucky, Eclair.”
“… I bet it is. Anyway, what I want to say is that night. Do you remember the cake Miss Victoria gave me that night? It was just like this one.”
“cake?”
“Yes. Whipped cream cake.”
“Did I give you whipped cream cake? I don’t really remember anything like that.”
Are you pretending not to know?
There was a possibility.
‘Because Miss Victoria is a humble person. Shame on you. How can you be so kind-hearted? Someone like me can’t even keep up.’
Shuk.
Eclair cut the cake.
And when you put a fork-sized cake in your mouth, you are surprised by the taste that is more familiar than you thought.
So Eclair hurriedly asked.
“Chief, did you say Rebekah? this cake. How did you make this cake?”
“That cake?”
“How did you make it? Come on, come on, tell me!”
Eclair rose from her seat and took hold of Rebekah’s arm.
Rebekah was taken aback by the unexpected situation and said, “That, I didn’t make it, but Victor’s prototype recipe… .” He said gibberish.
Upon hearing the story, Eclair felt as if she had been hit with a hammer.
‘Maybe that night, the one who came to the prison… .’
No, that’s not going to happen.
That heartless hound had pity on another.
“Miss Victoria, don’t you really know about whipped cream cake?”
“do not know. Whipped cream cake was more like Viktor than me.”
“… … .”
Éclair’s legs gave out and she collapsed into her chair.
Victoriaka said to Eclair, who was so dazed.
“Eclair, it’s a story that comes out. Are you the one who put Viktor in prison? The silver-haired girl who is making a lot of noise right now. Is this you?”
“… … .”
“You did that on purpose? To imprison Viktor?”
Eclair’s heart was pounding.
It was because the secret I didn’t want to be found out by Victoria was that I was imitating Victoria as a hobby.
“Eclair, no matter how much you hate Victor, I didn’t know you would go that far. To be honest, I’m a little disappointed in you.”
“That… .”
It was very embarrassing, but I hated lying to Victoria.
“… It’s not like that on purpose. I know no one is watching I was changing clothes in the bathroom by myself… . I didn’t even think Viktor would come along… .”
In many ways, I want to go into a mouse hole.
Victoria’s words were not over.
“You, why the hell did you imitate me? Didn’t it seem like once or twice? you. Did you imitate me and stay with Viktor this morning? why?”
“That, that… .”
“Why are you imitating me?”
“… … .”
For some reason, Eclair’s heart was beating wildly at Victorica’s sharp attitude.

Just then, students armed with swords burst into the cafeteria.
Among them, a woman with tawny hair, who was so handsome that it was hard to tell whether she was a pretty boy or a pretty girl, opened a long scroll and said to Eclair.
“I am Executive Committee member Hilde. The reason I came here is to arrest you, Eclair, the priest of Holy Hwangcheong, for trespassing on private property and destroying private property.”
“… … !”
“I think we need to re-examine the toilet scandal. It’s enough to come into the house without permission, so it wouldn’t be strange to deliberately try to trap people, right, Viktor?”
When Executive Committee member Hilde looked back, there was a man with his arms crossed and a very serious expression.
