Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 18
Episode 18
18fury. please be my friend(4)
Zero tilted his head..
“Ter on Payo?”
“Well, you're a commoner, but we'll take good care of you. As you can see from the secure admission rankings, which are classified information, Teronpa's power is beyond your imagination..”
Luna, who was listening to the conversation, bit her lip..
Not only do they divide factions in the noble academy, but they also steal confidential information.?
People called nobles don't hesitate to do such dirty things..
I really couldn't believe it.
“There are too many arrogant guys like that. We need to educate them properly. That's our duty. yes?”
“……Hehe, I'll think about it..”
“good. The situation is a bit awkward to talk about today. See you later. Oh, I recommend not hanging out with such vulgar things..”
With those words, Godner and the children left..
Luna stood up unsteadily. Before she knew it, Zero had arrived in front of her..
“Hehehe, are you okay??”
Even just a moment of embarrassment.
Luna was lost in thought..
Zero.
An unidentified boy who seems to know the family's secret..
An ordinary boy who is usually very playful..
But when we fight.
‘scared.’
When I face it like this, I feel the fear getting deeper..
What is his purpose?.
Why are you being kind to yourself?.
Why are you so nice to me?.
why.
‘It keeps coming.’
He has no money, no fame, no family glory, no friends, and nothing else..
I'm a child with nothing but a dirty temper..
Still, Zero keeps coming. she couldn't understand.
“Miss Luna, are you okay??”
“……go away.”
“You're bleeding. First of all, from the infirmary…….”
“Don't be nice to me! In the end, it's because you want something too.!”
what do you want.
why.
“Are you being nice to me?!”
A voice that explodes with emotion.
Zero's answer to that was extremely simple..
“Because we are friends.”
“……friend? Don't talk nonsense. You had a purpose in the beginning too..”
During the battle with the invisible slime, Zero said he was testing his skills..
‘for some purpose.
So, saying Zero was a friend was clearly bullshit..
“you're right. It was like that at first. but not now.”
“……?”
“Miss Luna, I liked you as a person..”
“……lie.”
“Well, if Miss Luna doesn't think so, there's nothing we can do. But it's true that she wants to be friendly.”
Zero laughed..
It's a lie. It's clearly a lie.
But why do I want to pretend to lose and hold his hand?.
“…… Then, let’s at least reveal the secret. You know something about our family, right? If you're a friend, you should tell me everything. That's right.”
“Don't you know that we are like this because we are friends??”
“Explain in detail. Don't spin it around.”
“Let's say I tell you what I know. So what are you going to do??”
Of course, I have to go kill him right away..
“Due to Miss Luna's personality, she would immediately draw her sword and attack her. So do you think your revenge will be successful? It will end without anyone being killed. Even if I kill them, they will still be low-level bastards..”
“…….”
“Where is that? You will be recorded as a crazy bitch who suddenly attacked someone, and the Lester family will be humiliated for the rest of your life..”
Luna, caught in the crosshairs, couldn't say anything..
yes i need help.
Since all I have is my temper, I really need the help of someone like Zero..
But I can't believe it.
I want to believe in zero, but I can't..
‘what should i do?’
When you can't do this or that.
Zero said, raising his index finger as if a good idea occurred to him..
“I understood Miss Luna’s anxiety. So how about doing this?”
“?”
“If you help me every time I ask for help, I will give you the right to ask questions..”
“……right?”
“yes. 1 question per help. Never think of it as a loss. From what I see, it's much more beneficial to both Luna and.”
It's a question. Surely, under those conditions, you will be able to know your enemy with just one question..
But will Zero really tell the truth??
I looked into his eyes and looked into his eyes..
Damn, I can't see because my eyes are squinted..
That's a foul, really..
“……good. If you have anything to ask for, please let me know anytime. I'll listen to anything.”
“Hehe, such remarks are dangerous in many ways. I am also a man.”
slap!
Luna slapped Zero on the forehead..
He seems like a pervert. I really can't let down my guard even for a moment..
“Miss Luna, why are you hitting me?.”
“Just not knowing that is enough reason to get beaten, right? Anyway, I get it. Then let's do that.”
“yes? Why should we do that?…….”
“What are you asking when you know??”
Luna passed by Zero..
Deal: 1 question per help.
Luna was rather comfortable with this kind of relationship..
Well, the conditions must also come first..
“Best of luck in the future, Zero.”
The words I spoke after becoming distant from Zero.
He wouldn't have heard it.
10For the first time since I was three years old.
Luna has a friend.
* * *
[You have met the quest conditions.]
[make friends(2/3).]
“Hehe, it looks like it worked well..”
I rubbed my forehead. Because Luna’s hands were much hotter than they looked..
I replayed the situation a little while ago in my head..
‘You were lucky. If they didn't recognize me…….’
Information about unofficial 3rd place in the entrance exam.
If it weren't for that, I would have ended up in a situation no different from Luna just a moment ago..
Then my concept would have been shattered and my actions would have been greatly restricted..
[Open your eyes] If you threaten with a skill, the situation may change, but that's a 50/50 chance.
I didn't want to take that kind of gamble..
‘I've only passed this over once or twice. Of course, what I need most right now is…….’
It's a combat skill.
[With [Predation], we have laid the foundation to become stronger..
However, there is no force to attack bosses and named monsters..
Although there is Luna…….
‘A certain degree of force is necessary to keep deceiving Luna..’
The more mysterious my existence is, the longer I can hold onto it..
However, the new hidden piece can only be obtained around midterm exams..
‘How on earth can we chat??’
It was then. A parrot fell from the sky and jumped on my shoulder..
“devil! danger! devil! Save me! Help me!”
The parrot shouted at the top of its voice. My ears feel like they're going to explode.
But they didn't kick him out. Because I know the story related to this child..
“Hehe, I'll make it easier for you right away. Please be patient a little longer..”
I lost my only friend in a near accident..
It's a parrot that was a friend of a 'hero' that no one knows about..
But there was nothing I could do for you now..
Just waiting for episode 3 to start.
“friend! danger! Help me!”
“Friends... … I need that too. I wish something would fall from the sky somewhere.…….”
“friend! good night! you! friend!”
parrot's cry.
At the same time, a blue window appeared before my eyes..
[You have met the quest conditions.]
[make friends(3/3).]
[You have cleared Main Quest #2, ‘Make a Friend!’.]
[As a reward, 100 exp, 10 gold, and [Subspace S] are given..]
“……Was it acceptable even if you weren't a person??”
It's like a cow retreating and catching a mouse..
‘There was a condition of 'you must sincerely think of them as friends', but it seems that it was resolved more easily..
This parrot desperately needs help right now..
“friend! Help me! friend! Save me!”
“Hehe, thank you for helping me with the quest... … That's hard. It's okay, but I'll make it clean for you..”
The [Cleaning] skill was activated targeting the parrot..
Because this is the only thing I can do for now.
however.
“hmm?”
A change occurred in the parrot’s body..
Just in case, I used the [Cleaning] skill a couple more times and clearly checked the results..
It is a hidden piece that can only be cleared in Episode 3, and is one of the three hidden pieces of the Japanese Chronicles..
There is a way to get it.

“So this magic circle is…….”
Morning lecture started today as well.
But I couldn't really concentrate.
‘Is it possible? No, it must be difficult too?’
Possibilities seen in experiments using parrots.
But it's only a possibility, I can't be sure..
But if it were possible…….
“hey! What are you doing? I'm not going to eat?”
“ah… … I have to go.”
“What are you doing in a daze for so many days?.”
Luna grumbled. But I can't help it.
While I was thinking about it, it was already Friday..
It means that the moment of choice has arrived..
‘Academy students can only go out on weekends..’
This hidden piece starts from the town square..
Duration: at least 1 week or more.
However, at the critical moment, if you say, ‘Ta-da, I found out and the possibility was 0%,’ you will burst into anger..
“hey! Let's go eat food?”
“Yes~ Yes. Okay, Miss Luna..”
I put the textbook in my arms..
Luna saw that and looked at me with strange eyes..
Because usually no one puts a book in their pocket..
But I wasn't uncomfortable at all.
[Subspace: S]
-Can store everything except living things.
When the user dies, all stored items are lost..
The second main quest to make three friends.
As a clear reward, I received 10 gold, 1 level up, and [Subspace].
To summarize, the inventory space is infinite..
‘It's one of the skills considered essential by old people, but you can get it as a quest reward..’
I was lucky.
As it is, it is a skill that can only be obtained after Episode 4..
Please note that the third main quest is not out yet..
‘Did I beat the second main quest quickly??’
Well, it certainly was..
If it were someone else, it's a difficult quest that would have taken at least a month..
In this world, the perception of narrow-eyed people is the worst.
But I made three friends in just one day..
‘Hehe, as expected, I’m amazing..’
If I had been able to access the stag community, I would have boasted a lot..
It was such a pity.
“How are you? Are you splitting the thread this time? I'm really crazy.”
“Hehe, isn’t the rice so delicious?.”
Curry with a mountain of chicken.
The visuals and taste were so great that my worries disappeared ‘about half’..
It doesn't completely disappear, but about half of it.
This means that the concerns are deep. So much so that even chicken curry can't cover it..
When I was about halfway through my meal.
Luna opened her mouth..
“hey.”
“Hehe, please tell me.”
“If you have any concerns, just tell them. Don't suffer alone like a dog.”
I guess I put a lot of thought into it. I heard all these things from Luna..
Luna's eyes are somewhat serious. Only then was I able to make up my mind..
Okay, what are you doing worrying about? first.
Just give it a try and see. Like a man.
“Miss Luna.”
I spoke with serious eyes..
To fuck like a man(?).
