Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 19
Episode 19
19fury. The Clown, the Hero, and the Parrot(1)
Did he notice my manly eyes?.
Luna looked me in the eyes and answered..
“why.”
“Can I ask you a favor??”
“okay. I don't know what it is, but I do it.”
“……I don't even hear what it is?”
“You made a deal..”
A deal that gives you the right to ask Luna questions if you do me a favor..
Luna was saying that.
“There are hundreds of things I want to ask you. So you have to listen to whatever it is. As you said, it's urgent for me. and…….”
“And?”
“that… … Chi, chin…….”
friend?
“Because we are friends…….”
A small sound like the flapping of a fly's wings.
But I heard it clearly.
‘Luna… … She's grown up a lot now.’
You call me your friend.
Is this how a father feels as he watches his daughter grow??
I felt like tears were about to flow..
Well, that's just how I feel..
“Anyway, if you have any concerns, let me know! Well, I go first.!”
Luna jumped up and threw the tray into the food bowl..
Then he left as if running away..
I shouted at the back of Luna’s head..
“Miss Luna! See you tomorrow morning at 9am in front of the school gate.!”
There was no answer.
I just raised my middle finger in the same running position..
‘You're saying you'll definitely come out tomorrow..’
Absolutely perfect interpretation!
At this level, he could be considered a doctor of Lunaology..
I was lost in thought with a piece of chicken in my mouth..
‘But is it really okay??’
Since I've decided to do it, I'm going to proceed..
NPCs to meet, locations to meet, and order to continue the conversation.
I remember this perfectly, so it will go without a problem..
The problem now is.
‘final battle.’
「The battle with the “devil’s side” is the problem..
Attack power is attack power, but the most important thing is whether it is supported by stamina..
This is because it is a gimmick that requires multiple people to take turns sharing the damage..
‘Due to stamina issues, clearing it only after Episode 3 was a common strategy for the old characters..’
This means that the highest record of the dead characters is the beginning of Episode 3..
There was no one like me who took on the challenge from episode 1, and even from the first week after the semester started..
If I succeed, I will be the first and the best..
I feel motivated. but.
‘Currently all I have available is Luna..’
2In party… … No, it's practically a one-person party..
Because I’m an incompetent person whose stats are only 21.
You need at least two more people to attack without difficulty..
Or a very strong person.
‘Isn’t there a high level passing by somewhere…? … huh?’
Then Rodelin came into my sight..
Penalty points were being awarded to freshmen who got into fights..
[Lv.43]
There was, Goreb..
Luna and Rodelin.
With these two, their attack power is overflowing. They are both characters that use their family's secret skills..
「To conquer “The Devil’s Faction,” physical strength is more important than attack power, but what I’m trying to do is not an ordinary strategy..
‘In theory, a strategy that doesn't require any stamina. try that.’
Okay, I decided. I have to fuck Rodelin first too..
After finishing my plate, I turned to her..
Rodelin is a member of party 1, but I'm wondering if we're getting too close.?
What do you know? There is a Hidden Piece from the Chronicles of Gastronomy hanging..
furthermore.
‘Luna has already been captured. If you hesitate, the game story will proceed as is..’
He wandered and died after losing one of his arms. That's Luna's future.
I didn't know that I would be fighting with Teronpa from the first day of school..
Luna can never overcome on her own..
So I need to gain strength.
I slowly approached Rodelin, who was sorting out her demerit point notebook..
“Hehe, you look busy today too..”
“hmm? Zero soldier? I guess I reflected on what happened last time.?”
Because it happened last time?
Come to think of it, something like that happened..
He pushed Rodelin against the wall and urged his friend... … No, it was a very healthy invitation to a friend..
“I was just eager to make friends. As you know, I have no friends.…….”
“Hmm! Was it something like that? However, penalty points cannot be dismissed as something that never happened. to make it up to the store.”
As expected, Rodelin was resolute. but it's okay.
If I am a doctor in Luna Studies, then Rodelin Studies is a master's degree or higher..
“That's why I came here because I had something to tell you. Do you have time tomorrow morning??”
“It’s morning… … . Other than patrolling, I don't have any special duties..”
“Then, how about going to the square together and helping people maintain order??”
“maintain order?”
“Yes, I heard that an event was being held. Criminals will probably run amok, too. As academy students, we step in and help maintain order..”
Molester, fighting, pickpocketing, cutting in line, etc..
Since the event is a major event for criminals, petty crimes will continue to occur..
The village square is right in front of the academy, so it wouldn't be surprising if students came forward..
It promotes the academy, keeps people safe, and keeps children smiling..
“You could say it kills three birds with one stone..”
Rodelin thought for a moment and nodded sharply..
“The intention is good. However, let’s leave out the first reason. It's a security activity for publicity. I can't admit it.”
“okay. By any chance, do you like children??”
“hmm! I like it very much. Because it is like the future of the empire. It can be said that the more the better.”
Actually, I already knew this..
When doing this hidden piece, Rodelin would always play with the children..
Coming from a military family, stiff tone of voice and behavior that makes too much of a distinction between public and private matters..
The sight of Rodelin happily playing with children was a refreshing shock to those who played the game..
“Hehehe, the more the better... … Very good.”
“?”
“Then, I’ll see you tomorrow morning at 9:00 in front of the school gate..”
I left, leaving behind Rodelin, who had a question mark above her head..
everything went according to plan.
* * *
late at night.
Just before going to bed, Rodelin checked tomorrow's routine..
“Tomorrow’s schedule is… … Patrolling early in the morning, and security work with Zero Force..”
Rodelin thought his actions were aimed at gaining the store..
Of course, that doesn't mean I won't give you a store..
‘If you do your job properly, that's great..’
All you have to do is do your job and make a positive impact..
If the event was completed without anyone getting hurt or suffering damage, then one store was a cheap price to pay..
This level of flexibility... … No, it was Rodelin that I learned last year..
It was when I changed into my pajamas and let down my hair in front of the mirror..
“Well, now that I think about it…….”
What was Zero's meaningful smile?.
Although it was a smiling image, it was definitely a smile with something to it..
Rodelin remembered what happened last time..
Hit the wall. Senior and junior. man and woman.
And let's tie it in with what happened today.…….
This can't be right…….
“date!?”
A date I've never had in my life. That's a weekend date too..
Rodelin couldn't help but be embarrassed, and her normal thinking circuit was broken..
‘Well, then why did you ask me if I liked children?……!’
Did he turn around and ask if he would give birth to his child??
“What did I answer??”
Memories came back quickly. Because Rodelin was a bright child..
-It can be said that the more the better.
“…….”
Yes, that's how I answered. The more the better.
From Rodelin's point of view, this was no different from declaring herself a prostitute..
Coupled with Zero's meaningful smile, Rodelin couldn't hold out any longer..
Powwow!
My face turned bright red with the sound of something exploding..
A face I can never see without opening my eyes.
Rodelin ran away from the mirror and crawled into bed..
Please pray that tomorrow never comes.
* * *
The next morning, between the school gate and the square.
I was faced with a very difficult situation..
“Explain properly what happened yesterday..”
“……yes?”
“He asked me if I liked children. You better explain what that means..”
“???”
Asking if you like children is asking if you like children..
What more explanation is needed here??
call!
Even the eyes are harsh. Until you have your arms crossed and your arms tightly folded.
We are on full alert. Are you trying to start a war??
“I only did it because I had a job to do with the kids. I received a request for help. If you don't like children, you're in trouble.…….”
“……Is it true??”
“Well, of course.”
“Then why are we alone? There seem to be quite a lot of people, but don’t they need more manpower??”
Rodeline, it's because I have no friends..
You'll never know how hard it is to make friends when you look like this..
But there was no need to make this excuse..
Because the savior appeared from behind.
“hmm? what. Why is the Vice President here?…….”
“ah… … You last time…….”
Rodelin couldn't finish her sentence properly..
He was thinking deeply about something, and suddenly his face turned bright red..
“ah… … Ahhh! Well, it was something like that. I'm sorry. Mr. Zero. I guess I misunderstood.”
“What kind of misunderstanding did you have?…….”
“Oh, let's go! Didn't you say there was a place you promised??”
Rodelin hesitated and left as if running away..
really.
she was a strange woman.
* * *
“So, where is the request for help??”
“Just go a little further.”
Unlike games, you move with your eyes, so it's not easy..
But there is nothing to worry about. The person I'm looking for is a very unique man..
‘clown.’
Not only does it look good, but it is a character that drives children, so you will be able to find it quickly..
Did I wander around the square for about 10 minutes?.
I was finally able to find the clown.
He was handing out balloons to children wearing a clown's unique makeup..
I have to work for that clown for a day..
Then you will receive a skill, and that is the starting condition for the hidden piece..
‘Well, I wasn't actually asked for help, but I guess it will work out somehow..’
Rodelin is somehow keeping his distance, so you will be able to fool him easily..
This was when a group of children who received balloons approached the clown as soon as they left..
He grabbed my shoulders with a surprised look on his face..
“Lu, Luthers!? Is it you??”
……Why is he like this again?.
This was my first time hearing this line, but what surprised me more was the clown's reaction..
‘This clown is always smiling..’
NPC used to be called ‘mask of madness’ among users.
During conversations, during performances, and even during breaks..
Keep smiling. So the name ‘mask’ came about..
Because he was laughing so hard that I thought he was wearing a smiling mask..
But he looked surprised... … No, he looks at me with a desperate expression..
I've played the game thousands of times, but I've never seen a reaction like that before.
This means that a hidden piece that I don't know about has been activated..
‘They say you mistook me for a kid named Luthus.…….’
Fortunately, I knew information about the character Luthus..
I recalled all the information related to him in my head..
Starting with the Clown, Hidden Pieces, Heroes, Devil's Pieces, Luthors, and Parrots.
Their connection with the clown was just a guess that even the deceased could not reveal until the end..
When I put in the last puzzle I just found, I had a complete picture..
