Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 20
Episode 20
20fury. The Clown, the Hero, and the Parrot(2)
‘……Was it something like that? Now the puzzle is finally coming together.’
a guess that is close to certainty.
The results of this guess will be confirmed only towards the end of this story..
For now, I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with the joy of finding out something that other people don't know..
“Hehehe, I say zero. I guess you mistook me for someone else..”
“ah… … Well, I see. Ha, well, that can't be possible. As time has passed…….”
The clown was lost in thought for a moment. But he was only lost in thought for a moment..
He opened his mouth. With a smile so bright that it reaches your ears.
“hi! I'm a clown! Did you guys come to get balloons too??”
“Hehe, after all this, I am still an academy student. Balloons are for children only.…….”
flinch.
Luna seems to be shaking slightly... … Maybe it's my mistake?
It must be an illusion.
The setting of this game is that fifteen years old is an adult. So there's no way you'd want a balloon..
No matter how childish Luna is..
“okay? Then what brought you here??”
“Hehe, I'm trying to play with the kids... … Would it be okay?”
“Now I see that they were students who aspired to be clowns. However much! However, there is no part-time salary~ Kihihi!”
The clown bent back up to his waist and burst into laughter..
I didn't even have a funny conversation, but I can't believe you reacted like that..
It was also worthy of being called the ‘mask of madness’..
Rodelin was seen approaching while checking the surrounding security..
Since we were quite far away, we probably couldn't hear our conversation..
“Senior, I would like to ask you to play with the kids. Is it okay??”
“Well, it's different from the original plan, but it doesn't matter. Playing with children is just as important as security..”
“Hehe, then, I hope you have a nice day today..”
Rodelin turned to the clown. She then took out her notebook and started writing down her something..
Did you see through the opponent's strength?.
The clown changed his stance to slouch mode..
“hmm… … Are you doing business with a permit??”
“Oh, of course! Kihihi…….”
Rodelin's majesty makes even that clown feel intimidated..
It was a time when I overheard their conversation with interest..
Luna approached. With a very upset face.
“Hey, what should we do now??”
“Hehe, what are you talking about??”
“I don't know how to play with kids. And why do I have to play with the kids??”
Well, it would be absurd from Luna’s perspective..
You must have been very nervous, thinking I was going to ask you something big, but it turned out to be playing with the kids..
However, Luna will have no choice but to grant my request..
“This is my request. Hehe, there's a reason for everything that happens..”
“……this?”
I nodded loudly..
Living with a clown until the sun sets. Then you can receive the [Mimicking] skill..
That was the beginning and prerequisite for the hidden piece I was trying to obtain..
“So, if you just play with the kids, I'll ask you a question.?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Hmm… … If that's the case, there's nothing we can do. It's annoying but I can't help it.”
Luna scratched her head and headed towards where the clown was..
It was the moment when the adventure(?) for the hidden piece began..
* * *
“hmm! That's a great picture. I almost want to hang it in our academy..”
“my picture! Please look at my picture too!”
“Please wait a moment. You're a pretty child if you know how to keep order..”
“yes pretty sister!”
“Big, big…….”
Although she had a somewhat harsh tone, Rodelin handled the children very skillfully..
Telling fairy tales, teaching how to be a good child, and even drawing pictures..
Handling children was also perfect..
A small fan club has formed around her..
So what is our Luna doing? Luna is…….
“hey! You guys! If you get caught, you really die.!!”
“Ouch! A monster is chasing me!”
“Yes, I am the monster! Wow!”
I was fighting with a group of kids under the pretense of playing tag..
It means that you are playing very well with the children..
‘The big problem is that you have become a child..’
Not only his mental age but also his speech deteriorated..
At this level, it is no exaggeration to say that children enjoy playing with Luna..
If a stranger saw that, they might think they were friends..
Then what am I doing??
I am…….
“Hehe, now… … Here's a little ball. But if you hold this tightly with both hands,…….”
I spread both my clenched hands towards the front..
To my surprise, there was nothing in my hand..
“wow! the ball is gone!”
“It's magic! I removed the ball with magic.!”
“Wait, then my balls are gone.?”
I didn't answer. I just mutter ‘huhu’.
Then the face of the child who had entrusted the ball became tearful..
“Wait… … . Why is this like this??”
Something round came out of my chest and went in again and again..
The children's attention was focused in an instant..
“this… … They say they want the ball to go back to its owner. I think they treated me pretty well..”
When I put my hand in my arms and took it out, the ball that the child had entrusted to me appeared..
He handed the ball along with one balloon next to it..
“Hehehe, it’s a gift. Please continue to cherish your friends in the future..”
“yes! Thank you, wizard.!”
I smile so brightly.
[Subspace] Magic performance using skills.
It was a world where magic existed, but since wizards were not that common, it was enough to capture the attention of children..
“Hehe, the next performance will be held later..”
Then the children scattered..
5After presenting one minute-long performance, there is a 55-minute break..
I would say it's a great work-life balance..
Even though it's only for one day, work-life balance is very important..
If you don't take break time into account…….
“omg… … omg… … I'm dying. At that level, they will definitely pass the entrance exam. It's true, it's true because I passed.…….”
Luna, who was staggering, fell down next to me..
Since I've been running around without stopping for a moment since I started working, it was natural for this to happen..
“A sea of sympathy. How can he have so much stamina and so much curiosity... … I guess I should suggest research. If it can be applied to the academy, great progress can be expected..”
That's what Rodelin said as she sat down next to me..
The ponytail, which was always neat, was spread out in several directions..
Did you know that the angle of the leader's armband on his left arm is saggy??
“Hehe, just need half a day more. Cheer up everyone!.”
“Hey, aren’t you giving me anything to eat? If you dragged me in, I should give you that much..”
“Hehehe…….”
“what? Can't you hear me? I asked for food?”
“Huhuhu…….”
“…….”
Luna's eyes were burning as she looked at me..
But I can't help it.
[As I had to buy stats from the [Shop Window], I couldn't waste a single penny..
I was still living only on meals provided by the academy..
Even now, the square is hosting various events..
The price of snacks is at least twice as much as usual. Needless to say, rice.
But buy food?
Absolutely not.
“I didn't even bring my wallet! Aren’t you giving me food? Why should I roast you and eat you??”
“Hehehe, Miss Luna. Cannibalism is prohibited in the Empire. Isn't that right, senior??”
“I think an exception may apply now. Even His Majesty the Emperor will judge it that way..”
“…….”
No, they're selling out the emperor here.?
Is this the stubborn Rodelin I know? Her real breasts are magnificent..
I felt fierce gazes from both sides..
This is really going to eat me up..
What is it? Should I buy some cheap and plentiful potatoes??
Rodelin and Luna's faces came closer and closer..
ah… … I see Potatoes don't fill my stomach.?
So potatoes and sweet potatoes? Is that okay??
Nevertheless, the two did not stop.
It was when I was completely caught between the two and was on the verge of being crushed..
“Hey guys! emergency! Something big happened! Kihihi!”
A clown who had been away for a while appeared..
A somewhat exaggerated movement. But it looked like something was up..
“Hehe, what's going on? I don't think it's any bigger than my current situation.…….”
“Well, the people who were supposed to perform the play can't come! Kihihi! I'm in big trouble, I'm in big trouble!”
The play failed..
Then it means that we have to occupy that time instead..
Rodelin and Luna won't even have time to eat..
“…….”
I could tell without having to turn my head. Their eyes are full of anger.
If I didn't buy him something expensive like meat, he was going to bite me and take the meat..
“Kihihi! So… … Can you guys do a play for me??”
“Do you mean us??”
“Yes, yes! It's a very simple play. You can say whatever you want with your lines. All the props are ready. Kihihi!”
Yes, I think you only need to prepare props for two people instead..
I'm currently planning to change breed from human to meat..
“Oh really! Isn't that too much, Mr. Clown? Even though I'm penniless, I'm working hard and I'm even doing theater.……!”
“Kihihi… … I'll give you food.”
“yes?”
“He said he would give me food. kick!”
Rodelin and Luna's eyes met in the air..
“Research has shown that theater helps children improve their creativity and emotional development. It's something that must be done..”
“Didn't I tell you? I've always dreamed of becoming a theater actor..”
Senior, are there any such research results in this era??
Luna, wasn't your dream of revenge??
“Kihihi! good. Then we'll all do it together.?”
“Hehe, I think I can leave.…….”
“Kiki! no. There's a role that's perfect for you.”
There is a perfect role for you?
I don't know what it is.
I was extremely anxious..
* * *
“princess! I came!”
“Hero! please save me!”
Rodelin, wearing a cape, gave a passionate performance..
The same was true for Luna, who was tied to a rope..
Acting skills are acting skills, but I don't know how they come together so well..
I realize once again that they are really great kids in many ways..
For reference, Rodelin was the hero and Luna was the princess..
and i…….
“Hehe, are you finally here??”
Black wings spread behind my back.
Crude wings made of hard paper.
Yes. The role I played was... … It was the devil.
“Ugh… … tremendous magic!”
“Hero! cheer up!”
The acting is improvised, and the lines are also improvised. It means that it is a common third-rate story..
However, because the acting was great, the children were fully immersed in it..
‘Let’s finish quickly and eat lunch..’
I don't know anymore. Let's finish it first.
“Hehehe, come at me!”
“Devil! take my sword!”
“Hehe, that's too much. You can't defeat me with such shallow swordsmanship..”
[[Open eyes] When the skill was used, the audience shook..
Red eyes hidden in narrow eyes.
It was the perfect climax.
The problem arose here. I made three mistakes.
The first is that Rodelin is a hungry beast, the second is a mistake on my part..
And the third is…….
Rodelin was too immersed in it..
her eyebrows twitched.
“It’s vulgar… … You insult our family. You are a devil with a lot of guts..”
kagak.
Rodelin placed the wooden sword on the floor. A wooden sword held at an angle.
hmm? This is a motion I’ve seen a lot somewhere..
I was able to quickly remember where I saw it..
It was the same posture I saw many times in the game..
“Now, wait a minute……!”
But Rodelin's wooden sword had already moved..
Yes, that's it.
Lucid's first big story.
“flip the land!”
The stage floor began to turn over..
One word jumped out of my mouth.
Holy shit.
