15. Options
Victory is like sweet fruit. Once you taste it, you are addicted to it and you can’t get out of it.
I did too.
“Kiyaah! All you need is a beer here.”
It was a shame that alcohol could not be obtained with the body of a cadet. I lay in bed and checked the quest window.

Reward: Stella Ireitz’s wishing rights and favorability increase
In case of failure, heirloom (random) is deleted, favorability decreases
I won the contest. It didn’t even need to be explained. In the first place, the princess of the Duke of Iritsu, who had four stars, also overcame it, but wouldn’t it be a setting error to lose to the son of the three-star Count Dari?
Shoot aa
it is raining.
dripping down
There was the sound of rain hitting the window and the sound of knocking on the door.
As she slowly got up and opened the door, Stella, with her fingers covered in bandages, was standing outside the door.
Seeing my face, she blushed in anger and turned her face away. Then, he handed the lunchbox he was holding in his hand.
“… … ruler.”
“Would you like to eat together?”
“done-! I’m crazy with you… … .”
As she spoke and turned her head, she grabbed her arm and dragged her into the room.
Quang-! After closing the door so strongly that he was afraid that the door would break, he said to her, who was trembling slightly.
“Now that you’re in, are you going to eat?”
“… … I don’t eat.”
“Okay, then, watch what I eat.”
As I brought her inside, I felt a bright scent spreading through the gloomy room.

Maybe it’s the smell of the perfume she sprayed, or it’s her natural body scent.
When I sat in front of the table in the room and opened the lunch box, it was full of high-quality ingredients that a duke lady would have made. Meat, seafood, all kinds of salad dressings.
A combination that can’t be without taste, Stella stares at me restlessly once, and then lightly takes it to her mouth.
“Uh, how are you?”
“Um, it’s delicious.”
“right? who did it It doesn’t make sense to say it doesn’t taste good!”
Stella, who was fond of hearing compliments, realized that she liked this kind of work, and quickly became pale.
“… … Eat it all quickly, I mean, you’re busy.”
“What are you so busy with? The Academy ‘Secondary’.”
“You’re not in the second seat yet!?”
“Hey, if you’re 3rd in the competition, you’ll be in second place.”
“… … !”
Hearing that, Stella quietly bit her lip, not knowing what to say. Using the appearance as a side dish, he emptied his lunch box and returned the empty bottle to her.
“Good luck tomorrow.”
“… … Noisy.”
Saying so, she took an empty lunch box and left the room.
I jumped into bed, caressing her slightly swollen stomach, and remembered what made her act this way.

Immediately after the match, I headed straight to Stella. Stella, who was pondering over her defeat, did not welcome me.
“… … What do you do to a loser?”
“What you lost is a loss, didn’t we have a separate agreement?”
“That is-.”
Stella then remembered the bet she had made with me. In this midterm exam, the one who won the contest decided to grant the other person’s request… … .
“… … It was about who got first place, it wasn’t about winning this match.”
“Are you sure?”
“… … What?”
“Do you have the confidence to lose to me in this test and get first place?”
At that, she kept her mouth shut. Although the handwritten grading was not over, I couldn’t think that I could take the top spot unless it was quite a mess.
First of all, she was knocked out of the quarterfinals, and I won the competition. In an academy that focuses on practical skills, this difference is huge.
“If you admit defeat now, I will give you a choice.”
“… … option?”
“Yeah, an option.”
No matter how much he wished, he couldn’t ask her for an unreasonable request. It means you can’t say the same thing as a s*xual favor or be my concubine.
While touching her shame to the maximum, it is not very unhealthy in the eyes of others, and to make the most of her and eat it. That was important.
Fortunately, with interest, she pricked up her ears and listened to me.
“What?”
“One, I will always answer ‘yes’ to what I say in the future.”
“… … What are you talking about?”
“Two, you should bring your own homemade lunch box every day.”
“No, what is that… … .”
After hearing the choice, Stella looked at me with contemptuous eyes. But, waving my two pointed fingers, I urged them to choose quickly.
“In the first place, to always say yes to what you say, what is that… .”
“Give me an example, do you like me?”
“What!? I’m crazy like you… … !”
“Wrong. You have to say ‘okay’.”
“… … Do you want me to respond that way to whatever you say in the future?”
“yes.”
“… … Is there any food you can’t eat?”
Stella immediately decided on the second option. Because it was a well-intentioned choice, she had no choice but to choose the latter. It was also what prompted me to do so.
But whatever the intentions, the important thing is that she chose it herself. It will remain a shackle in the middle of her heart.
And today, as time passed, she made and brought me a lunch box every day for the past few days.
‘I’m glad.’
Not only did I cook rice, but I also baked cakes, bread, and cookies, so I was able to devour excellent snacks in addition to three meals.
It was a bonus to see Stella handing me a lunch box with a humiliating expression.
Kurung!
lightning strikes As I watched the dimly lit outside glisten with lightning, I thought it was pouring very hard.
‘You won’t hear me doing anything outside on a day like this.’
While I was making tea with that thought in mind, someone knocked on the door again.
Since there was no appointment, I tilted my head and opened the door, and the first person I was seeing was standing there.
Rare glasses in another world with tied up hair. And not a school uniform, but a shirt and a suit skirt caught my eye. was not a student
“who… … ?”
“My name is Katherine, Principal’s secretary, Lee Inne.”
“… What’s the secretary doing here?”
“The principal is looking for you, but… Were you eating?”
She sniffed and sniffed the smell of the lunchbox left in the room. I shook my head, closed the door and went outside.
Rinne didn’t say anything as she headed to the principal’s office. I looked at her twitching back and didn’t say anything until she reached the principal’s office… … .
“I am waiting inside.”
“… … Yes, thank you.”
When I opened the door, as if I knew I was coming, I saw the principal smiling leisurely with a steaming tea ready.
Suddenly, the secretary closed the door and let me in. I nod lightly to the headmaster who made eye contact, and Catherine smiled as she pointed to the sofa.
“Sit down.”
“… … Excuse me.”
As I sat down, a soft touch wrapped around my buttocks, which I wondered if magic existed.
The principal brought a cup of tea and suggested tea.
“Jasmine Chisse, do you like it?”
“… … I don’t enjoy it.”
“Everyone these days is like that. I don’t know how to enjoy this taste.”
Watching her lift the cup, she followed along and raised the cup. I don’t know how to enjoy tea, but I followed her and put my nose to the teacup pretending to smell it.
‘What’s that smell?’
A faint scent emanated from the car. It wasn’t a bad scent, but if I told you to eat it, you would frown.
With a hardened expression on his face, holding his breath and pouring in the tea at once, a sizzling taste rises from within.
“… … are you okay? It must be hot.”
“Okay, cool! … it’s okay.”
“Be careful.”
Saying so, the principal took the envelope that was on his desk. It was a fairly familiar envelope. No, it’s just beyond that… … .
‘Isn’t that my test paper?’
“Do you know this?”
With that said, the principal ripped the seal off the envelope and took out the exam paper inside. Whether it was the test papers she had seen in a few days, she took out the papers and listed them, and then started talking.
“It was shocking. Because the cadets wrote a story that is the opposite of the mainstream theory of the society, in the original case, this would have been given 0 points… … .”
The principal, the faculty of the academy couldn’t have done that. It must have proven that the knowledge contained in this actually works, and that this information that contradicts the revealed knowledge is true.
In an instant, the principal’s eyes begin to twinkle. The twinkling eyes begin to stare at me.
“I won’t ask where you got this knowledge or what you really are.”
“… … Are you okay?”
“What, aren’t you a student of our academy? My role is to protect the cadets and lead them to the better.”
After all, the only conscience of the academy was the principal who was a true educator. He was very popular because of his character in the game. I was also one of the users who liked her.
It is refreshing to hear the speech of a true educator like this.
“Then why did you call me?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I called because I wanted to hear your interpretation in person. No matter how I look at it, there’s something I don’t understand… … .”
“Helly.”
I quickly forgot the memory that I drank the smelly tea, and then clinged to her and started commenting on the test paper.
She smelled of jasmine.
* * *
Kurleung, Kwoong, Kwoong!
thunder and lightning strike Coming out of a loud, deafening sound, the principal lifts his head and checks outside.
About an hour had passed since I started commenting on the test paper. After confirming that quite a lot of time had passed, the principal leaned back on his back and coughed in vain.
“Looks like I’m holding on too much. I’m sorry. This is also reflected in the score.”
“it’s okay. Principal. Even if you don’t do that… … .”
“—Oh, it was. Did you even finish first in the competition?”
“Yes.”
There was no need to give more points. Because it will already be perfect. I refused the grades I was willing to give, and I was sarcastic.
The principal smiled slightly as if he knew it, and then looked out the window at the sound of rain pouring like crazy.
“It’s fine to just go. It’s raining like this, so don’t go out dangerously and go back to your room right away.”
“It’s the same building anyway, huh?”
“Because you never know what will happen to the spirit of a young man.”
As she said that, she fell into reminiscences as if she was recalling herself only a few years ago. He looked at her for a moment, then got up, bowed his back, and greeted her.
“Then, let’s go.”
“Go carefully. It was fun today.”
“No, I am… … .”
After saying those words, he left the principal’s office and slowly returned to the dormitory. The torrential rain and lightning that fell like a hole in the sky was creating a terrible scene as if today was the end of the world.
‘What kind of rain is pouring so much?’
Even in real life, I didn’t like the rain, so I headed to the room away from the closed window in case it rained.
In the hallway without a single light, the clock returned every time the thunder flashed, and the scene felt like a scene from a horror movie.
‘It’s a horror movie.’
Looking back, it was undeniable that this world was also close to a horror movie. A world predicted to perish. A world inevitably perishing without the protagonist’s actions.
‘Chapter 1 evaluation was like that.’
In the story where the demons start appearing directly, a lot of effort was put into making the main character, who was only a cadet, and the demons meet.
For example, the academy’s defenses were breached due to poor clocks.
“… … I can’t even see an inch ahead because of the rain.”
For example, the protagonist accidentally discovered that the teachers who went out to investigate were attacked and seriously injured.
“Because of the thunder, I don’t know who to call for help.”
The moment all this information came together like a puzzle, I cried out involuntarily.
f*ck off.
Then, recklessly, he started running away.
