Episode 83

Maybe an hour passed.

Maria came back and fell asleep in the bed across from me, and Pinkie was reading a book in the seat next to me.

“I can’t sleep.”

“How amazing. Most of them fall asleep unless they are seriously injured.”

Could it be because the time spent sleeping on Naiel’s knee was quite long? I couldn’t sleep even after receiving healing magic for nearly an hour.

“Can you not go back?”

“Because I came out with an imperial name. I would rather not go back.”

“Is that going to be okay?”

“Originally, there were a few light attribute mages, and not that many were injured.”

“Are you sleeping?”

“1st graders sleep during the day because shifts are always at night.”

That’s why it must have been pink during night raids and frostbite. It wasn’t a coincidence.

“That is absurd. As a freshman representative, I have to say something later.”

“I-I’m fine!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t say a single letter of your name.”

“Then it might be okay… … ?”

I’m bored just lying down.

My body is languid and I don’t want to move, and my mind is very uncomfortable. I never thought healing magic would have such a side effect.

“What kind of book is that?”

“This one? It’s a compilation of several children’s books.”

So, all I could do was pick a fight with Pinkie who was standing next to me.

“Do you read children’s books at that age?”

“I don’t read it for fun.”

“then?”

“The first-aid squad tours the border towns for about a month per semester.”

It seems there is something like medical service.

There aren’t many events related to the first aid team, Pinki, so I don’t know the details.

“There are a lot of young children, so I thought it would be useful to know.”

“For free?”

“Please support me in Berry. It’s not a manor business, but it’s Lady Berry’s personal business, so it’s a bit more than her travel expenses, though.”

“Ugh, I don’t know how everyone got so nice.”

That means going to medical service and memorizing fairy tales to read to children. Are there angels like this?

“But the important thing is that I can’t sleep right now.”

“Well… … . I’ll see the book later.”

“Good idea.”

Pinky, who had covered the book, quietly pulled the chair.

“Isn’t there a magic that puts people to sleep in light magic?”

“I know the lullaby… … .”

“no. What do you think of me?”

Actually, I’m curious and want to hear it.

Here, I took back the pride I had lost so far.

“Pink, are you from Yuxilla?”

“Yes, I grew up near Fossoti.”

“It’s the most peaceful neighborhood in the empire, but it seems like the hardships have only increased since entering school.”

He used to show his face in various incidents, so this guy was busy too.

If I had stayed quietly in the manor, I would have been able to grow up without seeing anything bad. Sometimes talent can be poison.

Pinkie shook her head.

“Not really.”

“Because of the donation?”

“It’s not that there isn’t a reason for that, but… … . First of all, it is important to me that I can help others.”

what kind of person is this guy It was a question I asked out of curiosity.

“Because I enjoy it.”

“Are you happy?”

“Not all people receiving treatment are grateful. Sometimes things don’t go well, so I get angry. Even if it goes well, I often get criticized for saying that this is all I can do, and I haven’t had that kind of experience yet, but being slapped on the cheek.”

“Oops.”

“I don’t think I’ll ever stop going through something like that. Wasn’t it what you were doing because you liked it in the first place?”

Pinkie laughed and said.

I do it because I love it in the first place… … .

What was I thinking when I came here? Just because you don’t like dying?

That alone doesn’t explain why he writes so badly. that’s right

Dying is a hundred times easier.

‘It hurt!’

okay. Like Pinkie said.

It was fun.

‘I’ll make a plan.’

It was amazing.

‘How can Lord Rockstrin trust me so much?’

I wanted to believe.

‘I’m a fake, Rockstrin.’

I’m sorry.

‘… … Can I give you a hug?’

Let’s take responsibility, I thought.

It was a good thing to start with.

“Sir Rockstryn.”

“yes?”

“They say that only people with a healthy mind can have a heartache.”

“It is good to say.”

The room became quiet.

As I quietly closed my eyes, Pinkie didn’t say anything more.

“maze.”

“… … Yes Yes?”

Should I just call it pink? Reaction is delayed. After all, there’s only one pink-haired guy in Summer Turf.

“You are right.”

“Yes?”

“I have to make the impossible happen.”

This damn world will end if I give up.

heavy and scary

“No one can replace you.”

But that’s not all.

The world I made because I liked it, the characters. There’s no way I wouldn’t like it. The biggest reason was that I wanted to watch it until the end.

So.

“I will protect you.”

“yes?”

“Sing me a lullaby.”

“yes… … ? uh, then… … . Are you really calling me?”

I’m sorry for the pinky who worked hard. I didn’t hear a single lullaby. Apparently, he wasn’t sleepy at all, oddly enough.

Because I fell asleep before starting the first verse.

* * *

I climbed the barrier the next morning.

“Why did you come up again!”

“Rox… … .”

As soon as we met, Ai-nim got angry.

Hera called my name in a worried voice. As befits a world without privacy, Ai-nim seems to have blown it all off.

“Are you okay?”

“Since I’ve had a good rest, it should be fine rather than worrying about it.”

“I listen to everything Rocks says, but Rocks doesn’t listen to me. It’s not fair.”

“I don’t know if you didn’t know, but I am that kind of guy.”

“know!”

I think I noticed that the atmosphere was a little different from before. In addition to this, it seemed that Maria was telling me what to say next to me.

“Who else is she!”

oops be scared It would be nice if Pinkie was safe.

Surprised by Ainim’s actions, Maria stepped back. Ai-nim seems to be sensitive, so let’s ask Hira.

“Do you have a clue?”

“yes. The mage flew over the barrier for a while and came back.”

Derek himself went out to reconnoitre while Coltman was in charge of the barrier, probably thinking he had enough magic power.

An 8-star wizard can fly, so he must have traveled quite far.

“You said you found a lot of flying monsters. One of them, which looked like a worm, was incredibly gigantic.”

Arthrobird.

If there is a mother body, which is a colony of ground monsters, then the colony of flying type monsters is itself a flying centipede.

Unlike normal monsters, it has a very high intelligence, so it waits at a distance out of reach of normal magic and constantly blows away flying monsters.

“Didn’t you try to attack him?”

“They barely stayed out of magic’s range.”

“It’s tricky.”

No matter how much Derek can fly, the power of magic that can be used in the air is limited.

“I’m going to have to shoot him. The range is a bit longer than the laser.”

“Can you guess?”

“So I just brought my senior.”

“A senior?”

I said, pointing to the blonde who was leaning against the back of the barrier and looking up at the sky.

“I will calculate it for you.”

“Oh, and then?”

“right. The senior figured it out.”

A student who was supposed to be sacrificed.

Since a tremendous amount of mana was released, the fact that the mana core had been used could easily be noticed by the mages of the barrier from afar.

“uh… … . Rocks?”

As planned, even the monster’s air raid had a considerable gap and found room on the front line, but Baeller was alive.

Yesterday, he was taken to the ambulance as soon as he returned, so this is the first time he has shown his face.

“What happened? The magic core was used, right?”

“It was written.”

“Then who?”

I just shook my head.

There is nothing good about knowing now. When Baeller came this far, he covered his face with a hood.

Usually students don’t come into command, so they don’t know.

But if you look around, it’s not hard to find an empty seat for someone familiar with students.

“then… … .”

“For now, we just need to focus on blocking the airstrike.”

[Confirm the appearance of monsters in the sky.]

With Coltman at the front, it was Derek’s voice this time.

A black dot appeared in the distant sky, and then it began to spread like sesame seeds.

“Let’s get ready.”

“yes.”

“Your Highness, come this way too!”

“Chi.”

Even with a dissatisfied face, he was a good listener.

“I’m sorry, so I’ll listen to anything Your Highness says later.”

“really? then… … .”

“Except marriage.”

“… … How do you know all the Rocks?”

yo guy not even obvious

“Anyway, okay. You promised!”

The three of them came out like that to the front of the command post. The swollen black dots spread across the sky like paint.

The waiting knights were called over the barrier to protect the students, and all the remaining wizards and students were mobilized so that the support to the front line would not be cut off.

“It’s all black and white.”

“There are too many of them.”

In fact, it was still lacking.

A high barrier to deal with a flying type monster is rather an obstacle that shrinks movement, and the top of the barrier instantly becomes a mess with monsters covering the head at once.

Knights and students die. hundreds of people In this episode, it ‘must’ happen.

The best goal was to save all class A students in such a situation.

It will serve as evidence to prove the validity of the theory by properly using the theory of imagination.

“0.4 degrees east and 2.6 degrees south.”

“Are you sure? You only get one chance.”

“As long as he doesn’t take a turn in the middle.”

“Let’s start, Hira.”

“yes.”

There is nothing I can do here.

The command center with Derek and Coltman was relatively safe, so I left the command center and settled down roughly nearby, away from Class A students.

The command center was protruding, so the barrel of the laser that just came out was clearly visible.

[The sky centipede is an individual with uniquely high intelligence among monsters. They have an excellent sense of danger, and they value their bodies terribly because they know their own value as a colony.]

The flying centipede is as big as the megalithic bottle, so don’t expect to drop it in one shot.

Leaning is its intelligence.

[A preemptive strike from the command center.]

The faint light I had seen from the bottom of the barrier gathered in front of the gun barrel. Without making any noise, the light slowly increased in size.

Mana gathers, gathers, and gathers again. A wavy haze shimmered at the end of the gun barrel.

The movement of the sky centipede does not change.

There is still a long way until the range of magic is reached, so I can see them flying up and down as if they are dancing.

And, Piyung!

A flash of light exploded with a thin pagong sound. A red line is drawn in the sky for a moment and then disappears.

“I think you got it right?”

“Uh, it hit the body.”

Since it was so far away, it was not easy to judge whether it was a hit or not, so only a few students with good eyes could see it.

What matters is the next action.

‘please.’

Kieh eh eh—

“What is this?”

“scared.”

“Is that guy paying?”

“Ugh… … .”

A long, ominous, brooding growl.

Despite being far away, the students trembled at the sound of crying vividly in their ears.

I begged fervently.

‘go back. go back. go back… … .’

Even monsters have nerves, so they feel pain. It was probably the first pain I felt since I was born.

When most monsters feel pain like that, they rush at it without hesitation.

But.

“Uh… … .”

“It’s turned off.”

The Sky Centipede turned its head.

Turn half a turn and head north again.

The colony of monsters is a kind of collective intelligence. If it decides to retreat, all monsters under its command make the same decision.

“Looks like I’m going back.”

“Yes.”

The black group becomes a dot again and goes away to the sky on the other side.

I don’t know when I’ll be back, but not now. at least a few months. Until the wound is completely healed, the centipede never moves.

“ha.”

Only then did he let out a deep breath.

His legs gave out and he fell to his knees. Laughter came out.

“What, he just left.”

“You never know when you will come back.”

“What the hell was that guy… … .”

“Let’s settle down again.”

The students passed by casually, but my fingertips were shaking.

With a laser with only one shot left.

saved hundreds of lives.

Two days passed.
