It is a familiar ceiling.

“Damn it… … .”

I finally got used to the hospital ceiling.

For some reason, it feels like I’m in the hospital every time the main story ends.

Even the main story I know is Chapter 14. But there are still areas I don’t know about, so it’s a big deal.

My body won’t be able to withstand it if I keep going like this. You need to be strong.

“I’ll have to start from the dungeon as soon as I’m discharged.”

“Then I can’t use it. Mr. Oz.”

“… … ?”

When I came to my senses, there was Arrieta nearby.

It can’t be anything really scary. He was so used to the scent of apple mint that he didn’t even notice her nearby.

“If you say that, I’ll put off your discharge until I’m completely cured in a dictionary sense.”

“… … I will take it easy.”

“really?”

“… … .”

Oh, this is tough.

Is it because it is in front of a saintess who can see through lies?

Even such a simple question is difficult to answer.

“As expected. But please don’t push yourself too hard.”

Arrieta’s words are heavy. Even a simple greeting comes with a heavy weight.

There is something about her that touches a person’s guilt.

“I will be careful.”

“Yes, I am not lying this time. Good idea. Mr. Oz.”

It was a gentle smile, but she also had a slightly scary side.

“This wound is long lasting.”

Seruk.

Arrieta started running her fingers through the scars on my body.

It’s a strange feeling, but it’s an act for treatment. As proof of that, her fingertips contained divine power.

She ran her fingers over the wound as if drawing musical notes.

However, her divine power could not purify the scars on my body.

“I can do a lot less than I thought.”

“No, Arrieta. This wound… … .”

It is unavoidable.

The wound this time was caused by mana that was difficult to completely cleanse even with her magic arts.

“Yes, I know. That’s the power of the headmaster. Still… … . I’m a little upset. Because there is nothing I can do after all.”

Tia’s attack is dizzy even thinking about it now. If he hadn’t been wearing the [Starry Sky Robe], he would have turned into mush.

No, actually, defense doesn’t matter.

In the first place, no matter what he was wearing, he would have cut it so that it would have similar scars. It is indeed a fair and violent dragon.

“Am I saying my efforts so far aren’t enough?”

“Isn’t the opponent the opponent? I couldn’t even resist in front of the head of the academy.”

“I do not know… … .”

Arrieta smiled bitterly. It doesn’t seem like much of a relief.

No matter what I say, it’s meaningless because this is something she has to understand herself.

“I think I need to try harder.”

“There is no hurry. Arrieta. Even if you do it slowly… … .”

“Nope.”

Arrieta said firmly.

“Is the person I’m chasing running without taking care of himself?”

“… … .”

“That person won’t listen to me even when I tell him not to… … .”

A rare mischievous smile.

Arrieta poked my cheek with her finger and said.

“I will too.”

It was the Arrieta that Oz remembered after a long time.

* * *

Through Arrieta’s struggles, she was able to be discharged relatively quickly.

“Well… … .”

I’m discharged, but my body is sore.

Apparently, the bruises and mana interfered with the recovery of the wound, so the aftereffects were more severe than the previous two hospitalizations.

“Okay then.”

This time, as Arrieta said, I plan to take a little more time.

I feel guilty about breaking my promise to her.

“What are you going to do from now on?”

I thought I had lived quite comfortably until now, but I didn’t think much of it except for physical activities including training.

Most of my life has been filled with such efforts.

I must have been more mentally preoccupied than I thought.

Not moving and not preparing is quite unsettling.

I think this issue needs to be considered a little more carefully.

If you act carelessly like this, your scope of thinking may narrow.

Then, when it really matters… … .

“ah.”

What the hell am I doing?

Seeing that the stream of consciousness eventually flows in that direction, it must be that my condition is serious.

You need to let go a little bit.

It might be more helpful to just not think about it.

Would it be better to eat at least once?

Yes, I think it would be nice to find a place that is a little bit different from where I always go.

It was the time when I was walking around the campus with such a leisurely pace.

“Ah, Master! Here it is!”

“What are you doing here again… … ? Noah.”

Eleanor, a girl who stood out no matter where she was or what she was doing, appeared.

“Huhuhu, doesn’t it suit you?”

Eleanor was wearing a blue waitress uniform.

It’s a skin I’ve never seen before.

500 diamonds in paid currency. That is, it has a value of 5,000 won.

… … It looks cheap when you say that, but it suits you quite well because you are purchasing it with paid goods.

“Tada~ After all, they say that blue suits me?”

In the original work, right after the end of Chapter 3, there is nothing strange about earning money to see Chrysos with his own eyes.

Yeah, there was nothing unusual about it in general. I don’t know if it will make a lot of money, but isn’t it a job that meets both her desire to be a servant and earning money?

“It suits you, but aren’t you still in the hospital?”

If she hadn’t been a patient yet, she certainly would have been.

“The saintess said it would be okay as long as it was light exercise… … . Big!”

When I lightly poke a finger down the side of the talking Eleanor, she screams and collapses to the ground.

Is that enough? Is it true that you have been given permission to do light exercise when your physical condition is not that great?

No, even if it was a light exercise in the first place, I wouldn’t have been allowed to have a part-time job like this.

This guy is a mental patient who escaped from the ward… … No, I am still an ordinary patient.

“Noah, I don’t want to overpower you in a rough way. I would appreciate it if you surrendered calmly.”

“No, Master. The verification process itself was already too rough!”

I didn’t even imagine it would hurt that much.

Although Eleanor was more severely injured than I was, am I still discharged? I thought she might have improved to some extent.

“teacher. It’s a bit embarrassing to say this, but… … .”

“What?”

“I think the wound has opened.”

“… … .”

Yeah, you should be a little embarrassed. What nonsense is this?

I feel sorry for the medical staff who would be anxiously searching for her who had escaped by now.

“Noah. let’s go quietly Baekyang and Lucia are also looking for you.”

“How did I get rid of them! then… … .”

“You really need to reflect.”

“Right… … . Noah needs to reflect… … .”

“… … .”

Then, a cold, chilly voice was heard. At the same time, Eleanor’s complexion turned pale.

This is the expression even a goblin saw.

“really… … For a while… … I’ve been looking for you… … ?”

“I see.”

Baekyang was drenched in sweat and gasping for breath.

Considering his usual behavior, it was unimaginable.

Looks like you ran hard.

“huh.”

Baekyang caught her breath, even tidied up the sweaty bangs that were clinging to her, then stretched out her hand toward Eleanor, who was lying on the ground.

“I think Noah would suit an isolation ward rather than an ordinary hospital room.”

Baekyang used her special skill, witchcraft, at Noah, who was sitting down with cold eyes.

[walking on the spot]

It is a skill corresponding to Baekyang’s active skill that blocks the opponent’s movement.

Eleanor probably wouldn’t have been able to move in the first place, but it was probably to be thorough.

“This must have stopped the bleeding.”

“Every time I see you like that, I think you’re a better guy than I thought.”

“… … huh.”

He’s like the shame of a goblin.

I didn’t know much about it because it had a small role in the game, but Baekyang subtly supports Eleanor a lot.

Will you get angry if I say that you are like a mother? So, to refine it a bit… … .

“It feels like Noah’s older sister.”

“You sound terrible. You don’t need a younger brother like that, do you?”

“Right, Master. If I had to argue, I’m on the side of the unpretentious older sister.”

“No, you… … .”

I am speechless.

I don’t have the confidence to handle Eleanor’s sensibilities, which are so distorted that I don’t know where to start.

“I’ll take you right away.”

“yes… … .”

Baek Yang took Eleanor with a colder expression. However, unlike that cold expression, Eleanor was transported in an extremely stable manner.

That guy also seems to have the right level for a goblin.

That’s when the two of them started to disappear.

“Can you come down now? Why the hell were you hiding? Lucia.”

At that moment, Lucia, who was hiding among the tree branches, jumped down.

Still a cat person. It’s so secret that it doesn’t even make a sound.

“I didn’t mean to hide, but the timing was a bit off.”

“yes? Then what do you want to say to me?”

“I want this, I can’t lie.”

If he had simply sought Eleanor, he would have followed her.

However, instead of following Eleanor and Baekyang, Lucia stayed here. It must be that there is something you want to ask me.

“try.”

Since her body is still languid, she sits awkwardly on a nearby bench and gestures.

Lucia let out a sigh and carefully floated her rhyme.

“… … Did you fight with the head of the academy?”

“You said you fought? Do not be ridiculous. That’s because the battle itself wasn’t established.”

After being beaten one-sidedly, it was only a small scratch by using SSR-level magic. And other than that one time, I was just a punching bag.

Tia didn’t even fight in the form of a dragon. is it a monster

“You still hurt me? High-ranking people in the empire seem to be taking that very seriously.”

“You’re not saying that there’s someone out there who has such a foolish thought that I’m hostile to the head of the academy?”

“… … Surprisingly, he is right.”

“The history of the empire is amazing. I was successful even with those guys.”

In short, some of the high-ranking officials in the Empire are afraid that I might be hostile to Tia.

He probably didn’t want to lose Tia and Chuck, so he must have been talking about losing me.

“So what, did you come here to hear a definite answer from me?”

“I know this is stupid, but it’s an order from above, so I can’t help it.”

“It makes your social life difficult.”

“Really… … .”

Lucia slumped down next to me as if she was tired.

“Is there too much work?”

“… … .”

what is this distance? Whether Lucia knew it or not, she began to complain incessantly.

There must have been a lot of accumulated things, but are you thinking of giving me advice on your worries?

But I don’t want to pay much attention to the dirty parts of the empire. Let’s listen in one ear and let it out in the other.

“there… … .”

As we were spending time in moderation, a warm-hearted lady approached and started talking to us.

“students. Sorry for being busy… … . May I ask you one question?”

“Fine. Please tell me.”

Oz is an arrogant character, but there is no need to maintain such an impression even in this situation.

It doesn’t seem like he recognized me, and I feel reluctant to show a arrogant attitude even to such a person.

“Have you seen a student in a blue waitress uniform around here?”

“… … .”

“It’s strange… … . Where the hell did this kid go… … .”

“… … .”

It’s probably Eleanor. If you think about it, it was natural that she was hired by someone at the point where she was working part-time.

I forgot about that obvious situation.

“Where are you going? Lucia.”

“What?! how?”

I seize Lucia’s wrist as she stealthily erases her presence and tries to run away.

Foolish. As long as [Contemplation] exists, I will never miss her.

Do you think I’ll forgive you for running away from this extremely embarrassing and remorseful situation?

It’s a no-brainer.

“I’m sorry, but the child had to go home because something urgent happened. therefore… … .”

With the utmost courtesy, he pushes Lucia in front of her aunt.

Here, sacrificing her is the best way.

“I was given a pinch hitter by this guy. It happened like this because I was in a hurry. sorry.”

“Oh yeah? Ugh. Just say a word and go… … .”

Despite the obvious rudeness of the situation, the aunt said as if she was worried about Eleanor.

I’m glad that he seems to be the same person as he was.

“Crazy? You want me to waitress too? never.”

“You’ve been doing similar acting normally, but now what?”

Just the fact that she usually focuses on Eleanor shows how great her ability is.

“Then shall we go? It won’t be that hard, but… … . Oh, what color would you like for the uniform? The students also have red eyes, so I think a red color would suit them well… … .”

As if she already thought of Lucia as an employee, the lady began to speak nonstop.

“… … Prince of Oz. I won’t forget this I will never forget.”

“Don’t you just take it well? Lucia. I will help you too.”

“The Prince of Oz has a part-time job? That sounds crazier.”

“No, what are you talking about? I’m right after discharge, so I shouldn’t do excessive exercise. I will go as a guest.”

“… … .”

I was still trying to eat.
