73 – 073 – Beautiful Roses Have Thorns # 1
073 – Beautiful roses have thorns # 1
The first weekend after a bizarre journey on the island.
Arriving at the port on Sunday morning, I first headed to the club room.
“Is this the first time you’ve been away for so long?”
About 6 days from Monday to Saturday.
It was the first time the club room had been vacated for such a long time.
It used to be an unfamiliar place, but there was no place as comfortable as this place to live outside.
“It’s about giving Ariol, a new club member, a tour of the club room… !”
“I am very much looking forward to meeting this ariol, kongkongi and elizabeth… !”
Two strange nymphs followed me like that.
It looks boring.
Did Arnoy tell me about Kungkong and Elizabeth?
They are very smart friends, and everyone will like it.
However, I was a little worried because I left it for a week without feeding it.
You didn’t make the room a mess, did you?
With such worries, I opened the tightly closed door of the club visit.
Knock-down, Gi-ik.
What you see as soon as you open the door… .
“It is surprisingly clean.”
They were neat guys, so I didn’t make a mess.
I thought I would do it with the sofa torn apart and the tissue paper ripped open.
Rather, it is cleaner than when I was away.
have you cleaned it?
“Where have you both gone?”
Looking around, I found a large spider and a queen bee.
But the guys didn’t seem to be out of place.
Did you go get some food?
Then Arnoi said.
“Victor came out and looked at that… !”
Arnoy’s words came out of the club room, and I saw a round beehive hanging from the eaves.
Something poked its head out of it.
ㅡBee.
“Five.”
Read at noblemtl.com
Queen Bee Elizabeth has built a hive.
Did we expand our power while we were away?
Around the beehive, there were several bees flying by, as small as my little fingernails.
“Nike would have liked it if he saw it.”
Now, over time, you will be able to obtain 「Bashikir Honey」 at regular intervals.
Then you should be able to make the 「Honey Candy」 and 「Honey Shaved Ice Harmony」 that Arnoy sang so much.
Good good.
So where is the wolf spider kong?
– Boom!
“… … .”
What do you mean?
When I turned my head at the strange cry, there was a white spider waddling around from afar.
I’m familiar with that dazzling color expression that the newspaper club’s daily presses the stretch shutter… .
“Why did you gain so much weight?”
– Boom!
Kyeongkong must have been eating well while I was gone, and his body had grown 1.5 times. Thanks to that, the waddling form is very funny.
“This is how it’s not a knock, but a bang.”
-Boom bang… !
“But at this rate, even hunting a mouse would be difficult. By the way, you will be adjusting your diet for the time being. I’ll make you exercise too, so work hard.”
-Hooong… .
I can’t help but say sorry.
Health is an important law.
I made a toy out of foxtails I got nearby.
Shake it left and right, and the kongkong waddle waddles in pursuit of the foxtail.
-Boom bang… !
If you do this for a week, will you lose weight quickly?
Ariole, the nymph of the ditch, who was watching the scene, said.
“This is what Ariole wants to do… !”
“Then you do it.”
After entrusting Ariol with Kyeongkungi’s diet, I looked through the ledger in the club room.
I have to calculate the profit and interest earned during the week that I was at the forest school when I have time to spare.
As a result of looking at the progress one by one… .
“Even after interest, I have paid off about 20 million Renae so far.”
My remaining debt is about 180 million René.
It was a satisfactory result in itself.
The spurt at the club fair must have been helpful in its own way.
In addition, since I received very high grades in this interim school, if I did well in the final exams, I would have won a scholarship.
Then it’s like an additional 50 million Renée’s revenue coming in.
“great.”
All things work out smoothly.
Also, from the 3rd act, were the strait and sailing contents open?
Then you will be able to spurt earning more money.
“It would be nice if you pulled out the spider web well.”
Then you can make clothes and various tools.
Then Ariole, the nymph of the ditch, spoke.
“This kong is a werewolf… ! A wolf spider is a spider that moves around and hunts instead of spinning a web. ! You can’t pull out something like a spider’s web… !”
-Hooong… !
… What?
I had no idea.
There are things I still don’t know about this world.
Then there was something else I didn’t know.
The ‘God of Dice’ I heard a while ago.
It was the first time I had even heard of this guy.
Thinking about raising achievement points after a long time makes me feel better.
then let’s go there
* * *
Magnificent and rich organ sound.
People sang as it spread everywhere.
Holy song?
hymns?
I don’t know what kind of thing it is called.
However, I seemed to know that the atmosphere had the effect of moving people’s hearts in a strange way.
Of course, as I said before, I was a person far from faith or religion.
I rather hate it.
I had a part-time job at a church before, and I tried to beat my wages with a lot of work and a feeling like, “Please count as a volunteer.”
anyway.
When the general worship service was over, a woman wearing a blue hood on her head spotted me and frowned.
“What is it, Victor? you all go to church Did you come to quarrel with me?”
“I didn’t come to see you, Skadi.”
Skadi, the current Executive Committee member.
He was a devout believer in his own way, not befitting his outgoing personality.
A small hidden piece is that when you go to church on weekends, you can see Skadi wearing a nun’s uniform.
However, it is more like a bad nun than a sincere nun.
There were quite a few people who liked it, though.
“Skadi, I don’t think there’s anyone like you who doesn’t look good in a nun’s uniform.”
“What, you’re here to pick up a fight, right?”
Skadi growled like an angry dog.
But the reason why they don’t attack me is probably because this is the church where the gods reside.
I asked.
“Is there a priest?”
As far as I know, the person in charge of this church was a pot-bellied grandfather who looked like Santa Claus.
Was his real name Saint Claus?
He was also the one who advised me to hang 10 stockings on my Christmas tree.
However, the inspiration was nowhere to be seen.
Skadi explained this.
“Old Man Claus went to the mainland for a while. Instead, the church headquarters said they would send a young priest. It should arrive after lunch today.”
A young priest from the mainland?
Was there such a story?
First of all, I decided to wait for a while at the church.
The church here gives free lunch after the service.
“Is that the new priest?”
“Where did you see it?”
Soon, there was a buzz in front of the chapel, so I got up and saw a fairly familiar person.
He was a man with pale skin and white gray hair.
The snow is blue, but it looks like an ice field somewhere.
The strangeness of looking old or young.
“That is the Torneo priest.”
“I heard you came from a seminary on the mainland?”
It was Torneo.
I was puzzled by the fact that he had been appointed as the priest in charge of the central church on the main island of Ludens.
I thought it was retired in the story.
It must have been a serious injury?
When I was feeling my doubts, Skadi said.
“Are you Priest Torneo? Viktor, a new believer here, wants to get some advice about his faith.”
“ah.”
Then Torneo opened his mouth slightly and smiled in a friendly manner.
“great. I will give you a moment.”
I headed to the priest’s office with Torneo.
I brought the main topic to Torneo, who was pouring tea there.
“What happened?”
“Victor, you did not end my life. That is why we met again.”
exactly.
I didn’t kill Torneo.
I just defeated him and threatened, “I’ll watch over you from now on.”
He had recited the same lines as Luke had.
That way, the story seemed to progress without any variables.
But after that, when Torneo, which should have been sent to the mainland, reappeared in front of me, I began to suspect that there might be some ulterior motive.
But Torneo said as if to reassure me.
“I left the Genesis Church. I am no longer a member of that place, but a normal priest of the mainland church, so please don’t doubt me.”
“secession?”
“Yes, Mr. Viktor, after being cut by your sword, the teachings there no longer resonate with me. I knew it wasn’t where I was meant to be.”
it’s award winning
When I opened my slender eyes, Torneo put his hand on the Bible and said.
“I swear by the name of the great gods.”
Torneo is an unreliable guy.
But his faith is trustworthy.
If you swear on God’s name, you must be saying that there are no really suspicious schemes.
However, Torneo nodded as if meeting me was very emotional.
“But I would have been a life that should have died. I feel very grateful to Viktor-kun for being merciful. It must mean that I still have a role to play.”
mercy?
It wasn’t particularly merciful.
I just didn’t want to kill people.
It’s a game to have fun, but it’s embarrassing to kill someone like that.
Exterminate all those who stand in my way.
Can you do something like healing on top of corpses piled so high?
However, it seemed that such an action unintentionally moved Torneo.
Well, in this guy’s position, it wouldn’t have been strange to think that he would die without fail.
“As I said before, I will keep an eye on you, so don’t do anything stupid.”
If you create a variable for nothing, you really have to get rid of it.
Torneo said.
“It’s just that I, who have returned alive, will contact the mainland and try to be assigned as the priest in charge of this Ludens. Viktor-kun would have already known.”
Although I told this guy I knew everything.
Actually, I didn’t expect this.
However, Torneo babbled without giving me time to explain.
“To be able to find me at church after knowing that I am arriving here today. You are truly amazing. But I’m not perfect like Victor, so there are still many things I don’t know.”
“I see.”
“So, I want to ask what was the reason why you came to visit me, who is lacking today. May I ask what brought you to Torneo?”
yes.
I didn’t come to church to sing hymns and eat church food.
The real purpose is this.
“Do you know anything about the dice god?”
Raise my achievement score.
Startle.
Torneo trembled at my question.
“I think Viktor-kun knows that better than anyone else. Why would you ask this torneo… ?”
I don’t know, so ask me
Even if I’m a deceased person, I don’t know about the newly added elements in the DLC.
However, without a chance for me to explain, he went ahead on his own.
“ah! Okay. You want to test the knowledge and wisdom of this Torneo. Okay. Then I’ll tell you as much as I know.”
“Before that—”
“… … ?”
“You don’t know about the item called the fallen star?”
“ah.”
The boy immediately pulled something out of his bosom.
“Did you know I had this? As expected, Viktor-kun’s eyes are hard to fool. Then, I will give this to Viktor-kun.”
「Falled Star: Estella」
This was the reward for the boss fight in Act 2.
It was a fairly usable material item.
It’s something you can definitely acquire by defeating Torneo.
Did you feel a sense of wonder when you searched the body of the fainted guy and didn’t come out?
with Shara.
A star-shaped marble that emits a strange sound.
I already feel good when I think of the items that can be made with this.
