Episode 78. rosé meyer (3)
“basketball? Why basketball?”
Alicia made an unexpected decision.
Of course I thought I’d go for Mattan.
why basketball?
Alicia answered Dante’s question.
“hmm… … It was good to see you do this mission. Having a team member to rely on. I think a group match is more fun than an individual match. so.”
Fabio crossed his thumb and forefinger to make a heart.
“Tell me honestly. Is it because you want to be with me?”
Alicia lightly ignored Fabio’s remarks and pulled Danji’s shoulders.
“Because Matan has our complex.”
“oh… … club site. Have you decided to apply for the magic bullet event?”
“huh!”
It’s a bit sad though.
I thought it would be a waste of talent for a talented person like Alicia to participate in a team event.
There are only ten Matan events.
It was common for the best players from each school to participate.
“It would be fun to do it together. But have you ever played basketball?”
Alicia snorted as if it were absurd.
“What is he talking about? Have you ever played basketball? Oh-ho-ho-ho.”
“what. Are you good at basketball?”
“I’ve never done that before!”
Then it is.
“But why are you so confident?”
“Because I am Alicia Smith. Mana control is important for basketball hybrids. I am confident.”
Mana available.
That’s why you can compete with both men and women. Because the physical difference can be overcome with mana.
Fabio, who was listening, raised his thumb.
“Reverse. Confidence is the best.”
“Confidence?”
“Of course, your skills are the best.”
Alicia smiled and asked for a high five from Fabio.
It’s nice to see a dignified figure.
Alicia’s self-confidence was sometimes seen as narrowly conceited. But it didn’t look close.
Always push yourself and push yourself to the limit. Don’t be disappointed if you don’t get the results you want.
“Alicia, I’m sorry! can you do this only? focus! 」
Alicia is such a person. If you look at it from the side, you will receive positive stimulation.
Then, three basketballs and one magician.
I was curious about Claudio’s decision.
“Dio you. What are you going to do?”
“I swim. I’m going to use it as an excuse for the war and try to mess it up properly.”
“oh… … Good job!”
A guy who was drowning in the water until a few months ago will compete in the swimming event?
Dante really wanted to applaud Dio’s decision.
‘Everyone is growing like this… … .’
Dante’s house.
Fabio and Dio decided to spend the night together on this side today.
“Would you like to use a capsule?”
“No, I’m fine. I don’t even use capsules at home.”
D.O quickly took the capsule.
“Then can I use it?”
Dante closed the capsule door with his own hands.
Dio snored so badly that it was advantageous to keep him locked up in a capsule.
Fabio lay down on the sofa instead of the bed.
“I sleep here.”
“why. There is even a bed.”
“Sleep comfortably in the same bed?”
“Don’t say anything scary. I’ll sleep on the sofa. It is a great place.”
“It’s okay, man. How do you kick the master out and sleep in the bed?”
In the end, Dante also packed up a futon and lay down on the sofa opposite.
dark space.
A conversation between the two took place.
“It’s very strange. Last semester, a senior talked to me at a restaurant. Until then, what should I do? Should I say that there was an aura that was hard to get in touch with?”
“Not now?”
“There is an aura, but it’s not hard to get in touch with. But there are times when we played basketball together.”
From noble mtl dot com
Fabio turned his head around and looked around the room.
That Alicia lives in such a nice place, that Dante lives next door, and that the club has moved into the same apartment with Alicia.
Today was a series of shocks.
In fact, it was rare for sponsors to find such a high-end apartment.
Even if Alicia’s father was a competent superhuman butcher, Dante and Danji were really unexpected. The fact that I had a huge sponsor even before entering school.
“Risha is H&R, you are Versailles Lab. Danji is a big sponsor whose name cannot be revealed. How great?”
“A senior? May I ask?”
“I must have a raw card… … .”
“Reverse.”
The Morrone family runs a weapons development company under the Rocard Group. Together with H&R, it was the world’s leading military company.
“But it’s not something to brag about. After all, it is supported by the family.”
Fabio had three more spawns besides the Rocard group. But I didn’t bother talking about it.
Also a small business. I feel like I’m bragging for nothing.
“Oh, with Rose. Did it work out?”
“There was nothing to do but fix it. Something was clearly misunderstood.”
“I see.”
Fabio intuited the moment Rose slapped Dante on the cheek. Dante’s unflinching attitude against Roger Meyer was quite impressive.
“Haaa… … But the seniors are also really great. It was really hard to survive on that planet for a month. To be honest, there are things I endured while thinking of my seniors. If you can’t overcome this, there is no future!”
“I think I gave up more easily because it was Earth. because it’s close to home Anyway, I really envy you.”
“Am I? no way… … .”
“You only have one thing left to do. so envy That there is still room to climb.”
When you reach 16th place in the rankings, it is not a fight to rise, but a fight to maintain.
Fabio also had to suffer from tremendous pressure every moment.
“I am not happy even if my father praises me. it’s burdensome Because of the idea of being responsible for the future of the family.”
“You know what sounds like a very full stomach right now?”
At Dante’s words, Fabio laughed out loud.
“You know then. That’s why I can’t even complain to anyone about my situation.”
“But why are you doing this to me?”
“hmm… … Is that what Lisa said? Talking to you makes me feel very comfortable. Do you see me too? that’s right. I don’t know why, but there is definitely something comfortable.”
Dante jumped up and headed for the kitchen.
“Would you like some lemonade?”
“It’s good.”
In a bottle of sparkling water, three spoons of lemon juice and two ice cubes.
It was a golden recipe that Dante devised.
“Here you go.”
Fabio tasted the lemonade Dante gave him. It tastes the same as the one Alicia gave me. For some reason, my heart ached.
The two of them lay down on the sofa again.
“We work hard too. to keep this position. But I don’t think people who haven’t been to this place don’t know. Since we already have a base, we don’t think it will be difficult to maintain it.”
“hmm… … I think that’s right. Wouldn’t it be easier than going up from the bottom? As you said, you don’t know because you’ve never experienced it.”
“That’s why I always feel like my efforts are being denied. Whatever you do, you take it for granted. So rather, the people of Sky Island come together. Because we know each other’s hard work best.”
Dante closed his eyes and nodded.
He seemed to know a little bit about what Fabio wanted to say.
You do it quickly because you are smart.
Then, if I made a mistake sometimes, something like this always came out.
Are you a smart guy and can’t do that?
It’s all nonsense about having good hair.
‘I’m annoyed. i know what… … .’
“But what about Alicia?”
“… … .”
“Are you sleeping?”
“… … .”
In the end, Fabio couldn’t hear the answer he wanted to hear the most.
‘It seems that today is not the day.’
Using Dante’s breathing as a lullaby, Fabio soon fell asleep as well.
* * *
House of the Meyer family.
It is located in the center of the Out Islands, at the very top.
When an airborne monster appears, it triggers an alarm and serves as the focal point of the Out Island defense system.
And the Meyer family held the same position for 70 years.
The Meyer family was a symbolic presence in the superhuman society. That he had never touched a business before. It was the only family that maintained a single-digit ranking solely through monster defeat points.
It is the same now.
Among the families in the top 10 ranking, the Meyer family was the only family that did not run a private business.
The Mayer family had only one weapon. He was leading an army of superhumans specializing in A-class and S-class planets.
end of the island.
Silas Meyer sat on the bench and looked down at his feet. The city center was so far away that it was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Silas Meyer, now in his 50s, was born and spent his childhood here.
” dad! What if I jump out of here? 」
“Have you heard of a magnetic field? There is a range in which the magnetic force of a magnet affects. The same goes for floating cores. The floating field, called the floating field, spreads widely around the island. 」
“I don’t even know what you mean! 」
“In a word, even if I jump, I won’t fall. But it’s dangerous, so don’t ever do that, Silas. 」
But seven-year-old Silas was curious and fearless.
「Fly! Silas Meyer! 」
Silas eventually jumped out of the sky island. I rolled around the island using the clouds as a bed and fell asleep.
Of course, the house turned upside down.
The Floating Island ground is in the shape of an inverted triangle (▼), but Silas moved to the midpoint of the ground, so he couldn’t find it on the ground.
In the end, even the investigation team was mobilized and Silas was found after 4 hours of disappearance. while asleep.
「No chocolate flavored energy capsules for the next month! 」
How sad I was at such a young age.
He still enjoyed eating chocolate-flavored energy capsules at the age of fifty.
‘I liked those days when I didn’t know anything.’
After that, Silas took the elite course.
Senior admission to Agras National Academy, graduation from second class, entrance to the Wizard’s Tower, field team placement.
Having been active in the field for 23 years as a two-pattern wizard, he joined the Magic Tower 7 years ago.
Silas Meyer pulled his phone out of his pocket. It is a sub phone that is not normally used.
Tiriling. Tiriling.
After a few signals, the other person answered the phone.
“Chairman, I am.”
– I’ve been waiting for you.
“They touched my daughter.”
– I know, but it’s not the time yet.
At the president’s words, Silas clenched his fists. His fingernails dug into his flesh and blood oozes out.
– Aren’t Zordyk guys a bunch of bluffs with brains full of sh*t? It’s the perfect type to use whether you stick to us or to X.
“I know. Isn’t that why you’re holding back?”
– Did the person holding back blow up five of their airships? It was useless.
“Whoa… … .”
snap.
Silas lit a cigar.
Cumulus clouds rose in the sunny autumn sky.
– you. do you still smoke?
“yes. It’s my only downfall. Are you going to stop me from doing this?”
– No. It’s something I’m proud of. If you knew it would be like this, you should take good care of your body when you were young.
Silas laughed at the president’s words.
‘Anyway, he’s an old man who can’t be stopped.’
“I’m worried about Rosé. That’s all.”
– It could happen anytime. How long were you planning to keep it locked up in that greenhouse? Rose is now an adult. You have to learn to overcome yourself.
“Would it be okay?”
Silas was especially strict with Rosé.
It was around the age of 3 when Rosé showed signs of the disease.
What does it feel like when a lovely daughter sees her father’s face and says she’s scared and screams and cries… …
It took 10 years for Rosé to accept and adapt to facial blindness. Silas had rooted out people who might hurt Rosé.
To be honest, I thought it was Rosé’s fault for insisting on going to school.
Silas was uneasy that Rose was out of his sight. I felt like I would be hurt and ruined by a cruel world.
– You tend to underestimate your children.
“The kids hate me.”
– He’s at that age. At that age, how many children are close to their parents? Same goes for you guys.
“It’s a lifetime. I wish you well while you are alive.”
– If you regret it, be good to your children, you bastard! If I don’t have anything to say, I’ll just hang up.
tu- tu.
“Damn the old man.”
Silas Meyer put the phone down with a bitter smile.
He lost his parents in an accident when he was 20 years old. It was the man he had just spoken to that allowed Silas Meyer to maintain his family rank and prestige even at such a young age.
It was all thanks to Bell Simon.
