I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 278



278 – ‘Who’ Is Likability For? #3

278 – ‘Who’ is favorability for? # 3

For men, there is a game like first love.

A game that I was immersed in and spent a lot of time in as a child or adolescent.

As time goes by, it’s a game that keeps reminding you of the fun memories of that time and makes you want to go back.

So what about women?

Is there a game like first love for women?

To be honest, I’m not good at matching women and games.

Whether playing online games or playing soccer outside, most of the opponents I encountered were men.

First of all, you meet an unknown player in an online game?

Then, it was my fixed idea to assume that the other person was a ‘male’.

If you go to a PC room right now, most of the customers are men.

However, while I was paying off my debt, times had changed a lot.

Women were playing games as much as men.

It was the same with 「D&A」.

「D&A」 Was basically a male-oriented game with the main character Luke, but in addition to pretty heroines, many handsome and cool male characters appeared.

That’s right.

Cool male students.

“Do I need to increase the likability of male characters? “Why do I have to see men blushing?”

“No, the main character Luke is a man, so why does he have to give Diremeade a gift?”

“I made all the male characters’ likeability levels to the affection level haha.”

「Geegaeiya… 」

It wasn’t just female characters that helped protagonist Luke increase his favorability.

The male characters of “D&A” Appear as many as the attractive female characters.

They also never deviated from this ‘likeability system’.

Honestly.

From my perspective, the idea of the main character Luke giving gifts or choosing favorability options to male characters like Gawain, Diarmid, and Tywin is a bit… What should I say…

From noble mtl dot come

I felt melancholy.

In order to receive favorability reward items, you had no choice but to be likeable with male characters. But what happens when you raise the affinity level? There is something beyond friendship between Luke and the men.

“If this is going to be the case, wouldn’t it be better to have a female protagonist?”

“I think that would be better haha”

It was just a joke.

However, there were quite a few female users in 「D&A」, And whether it was their wish or just a rumor, this rumor circulated when the DLC was announced.

“Did you see the insider leak this time?”

“I heard that the likability strategy for male characters will change completely this time? It looks like a new route will be created centered around male characters haha. It looks like a female protagonist is really coming out.”

“I’m predicting the Orca route and the Aidan route. “Victoria just became the villainess’s sister-in-law haha”

“Pokemon has both male and female characters, so it was time for Duna to do that too.”

“The trend of the times haha”

Yes, I remember there was an article like this.

However, I didn’t think it was a big deal and moved on.

At the time, even the fact that DLC was coming out was said to be a rumor and passed over.

Maybe that’s why I couldn’t remember that such stories existed until now.

“Is this true?”

Yumi.

I thought it was just a new heroine.

However, in some sense, she may really be a heroine.

Heroine in a more active sense.

“A relatively plain and inconspicuous appearance that makes it easy to empathize with. A somewhat easy-going personality. “Beautiful boys who attract people around them to the extent of being suspicious.”

All conditions are met.

“On the contrary, it’s almost too standard.”

I wasn’t expecting this at all, but looking back now, there were many parts that were explained neatly, like a puzzle that clicked together.

Crash.

At that time, the blade that was touching my neck lightly pressed me.

I feel a tingling sensation and the feeling of blood flowing from the nape of my neck.

“Victor, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“Tywin.”

I turned my head.

Then, a man with long black hair appeared.

Elongated limbs wearing black suit-like clothes.

A face that looks somewhat cold but has thin lines.

Tywin.

This handsome guy.

As he has always received attention from women at the top of popularity polls, this guy clearly had enough looks to become a female-oriented prince.

I asked.

“Tywin, do you like Yumi?”

“…”

There is no answer.

Just when I was wondering if I was overthinking things, he snorted and laughed.

“I’m just interested. It’s like curiosity.”

If Tywin is a woman, she is a character like Akasha.

She likes to go around alone and has little interest in other people.

A guy like that feels interest and curiosity.

… Don’t you like it?

Does it feel like she is not sure about her feelings yet, or is she unable to be honest?

Why, aren’t there a lot of male protagonists of that type in women’s dramas?

Her cousin who lived with her, likes romance comics, so I know a bit about it.

And there was a fact that always made me curious when I was watching those cartoons.

“Why on earth?”

No matter how I look at it, I like the chaebol girl who appears as a rival villain better than the female protagonist.

Why on earth do they cling to an ordinary woman and fight and even punch each other?

Of course, there is such a thing for masculine scents as well.

Women rushing at an ordinary man.

Even though people know that they like it, they can’t help but be curious.

The person who could give the answer to that was right in front of me.

So I asked.

“Tywin, why? Why is a man like you interested in Yumi?”

Yumi appears to be an ordinary girl.

It is true that she has an attractive appearance in her own way, but honestly, in this world full of handsome men and women, there is not much that catches Yumi’s attention to her.

Then Tywin asked.

“And you? Victor, why are you interested in weeds?”

“… Me?”

Suddenly.

I looked back on my actions up to this moment.

An ordinary woman.

A man who becomes suspiciously obsessed with such a woman.

They called me to a cafe and even made me wait in front of the dormitory.

“…”

My eyesight becomes dizzy.

* * *

Strategy.

This was an active act for me.

Attack the eastern field.

Attack the boss.

Attack the field.

Complete the affinity quest.

Attack the heroine.

Target crafting items.

Target pet collection.

Strategy to find nymphs.

There are so many things to attack in so many ways.

To me, Ludens was that kind of place.

So I was shocked in many ways.

Because it was the first time I thought that I might be the target of that attack.

Not even a single speck of dust was counted.

“No, it could be rain.”

If.

Let’s pretend that Yumi is the main character of the newly added female-oriented DLC.

And let’s say you target each male protagonist and sub-male protagonist according to the taste of female fans and clear them through their own route.

“There is a high probability that I will be excluded.”

Even the male protagonist, Luke, had targets that he could not attack.

It is said to be a character whose likeability is locked.

A character like Christina was an example.

And, the same goes for the black dog ‘Garna’ who appears as a villain.

There is a high possibility that I, Victor, am that kind of character.

Because I was destined to die anyway.

Even now, I may not have escaped yet.

Therefore.

This means that there is a high probability that I will be excluded from Yumi’s Princes.

Actually, Yumi was trying to avoid me.

I was extremely wary.

When I came to that thought, I felt strangely relieved.

I was a little panicked because I had no idea that I would be the target of someone else’s attack, but soon my calmness calmed my mind.

“It is true that I still have questions.”

It is still unknown how Yumi figured out her strategy.

The only thing that is certain is that I don’t think it’s a gamer that has become possessed by a character like me.

I came to the conclusion that for the time being, it would be better to approach and observe with a little more caution.

“Good.”

After coming to the conclusion, I felt like my mind was quite clear.

I was tired after walking around all day today.

It was almost time to sleep, so I was trying to close my eyes and preserve my stamina for tomorrow.

Knock.

Someone knocked on the door.

Who is it at this late hour?

“Who are you?”

Even though I asked lightly, there was no answer.

The only thing that comes by at this late hour is Victoria these days.

Zech.

It was when I got up from the blanket and opened the door.

Suddenly. Ki Ik.

“I really live here.”

That girl was Yumi.

Yumi came to the club room.

This guy, whenever he tries to avoid me, what is his intention when he suddenly appears like this?

I couldn’t help but be nervous in many ways.

Soon, Yumi, looking around the inside from behind the door, speaks.

“Tywin said he caused you trouble.”

“…”

“That guy keeps picking fights with people around him.”

Zech.

Yumi immediately took something out of her pocket and held it out to me.

“What is it?”

“It’s a medicinal herb. You, whatever. “They said you were hurt.”

「Lesser herb: Restores a small amount of HP.」

It was truly a low-level herb.

I guess that means treating the wound on her neck that Tywin inflicted upon me.

Of course, those wounds have already healed for a long time.

“There is no need.”

I did not receive the hub.

Then Yumi slightly raised her eyebrows, saying, “Really?” And she took something out of her pocket and held it out to me.

“Then what about this?”

「Sharp dagger: Sharp dagger. It’s decorated with gold thread, so it’s cool. But it is for decoration and difficult to actually use.”

“This is a ‘sharp dagger.’”

It is an item that increases the likeability of male characters.

There aren’t many men who don’t like nice-looking daggers.

“… “Isn’t this good too?”

Zech.

Yumi must have thought that I wasn’t interested in daggers, so she rummaged through her pockets again.

What is taken out is a small coin.

「Ludens 100th Anniversary Coin: A coin that sparkles in gold. The faces of gods are carved on both sides. Although it cannot actually be used, it is coveted by luxury lovers.”

Commemorative coin.

This was also one of the favorability items.

I also covet this like a dagger.

But I couldn’t receive it hastily.

“There is no need.”

I don’t know what will happen if I get this.

“It’s late, so go back now.”

“Hey, wait a minute… !”

* * *

Kiik, bang.

The visit is closed.

Yumi, a girl left alone under the moonlight on a late summer night, was extremely embarrassed.

“Whenever you bother me so far. Now you’re coming to my doorstep like this? What, really. “I don’t like guys like you either.”

Yumi quickly turned her head.

“I don’t like guys like you who are full of variables. Because Tywin caused trouble, I came to apologize on his behalf. Anyway, it’s not that flexible, so every time…”

Yumi, who was grumbling, closed her mouth and focused on the presence behind her.

The reason she didn’t move easily even though she was complaining was because she was worried that she might say, “It’s late, so I’ll take you there.”

“…”

But there was no sign of the door opening again.

Yumi takes her steps without fail

“Oh, before I forget.”

Yumi took out her notebook.

Filled out in the notebook are the names of men and the names of various objects.

Soon, Yumi found the name ‘Victor’ on the very back page of the numerous items, with the ink not even dry. She then wrote down “Dagger” And “Coin” And then paused as she marked the letter “X.”

“… Does this really have any meaning? This is my first time doing something like this. What if you get sick or hurt? .”

Yumi felt her palms throbbing.

Her palm was tightly held by Victor.

It still hurts.

“… I really hate being sick. Just go safely as always… There are a lot of people who can use it anyway.”

Safe path.

There are no gambles, no variables, no changes, but a peaceful path appears in Yumi’s mind.

A path I have walked down many times until now.

“…”

Yumi’s eyes turned to Victor’s name written in the notebook.

Shaking pupils.

Just when I was about to close my notebook.

Sreuk.

Yumi’s left index finger was cut by stiff paper.

“Ugh… !”

Yumi started.

“Ugh, ugh, it hurts, it hurts…”

Blood dripping.

Yumi screamed and shed tears from the unexpected pain.

It hurt so much even though she cut the tip of her finger with just a piece of paper.

“… Eww. It hurts…”

I want to stop being sick now.

Because I really hate pain, bleeding, and people dying.

Sincerely.

“… What hurts. I hate it too.”

Yumi ripped open her paper, hurting her own fingers.

After crumpling and throwing away the bloody paper with Victor’s name in her trash can, Yumi finally took her steps toward a safe and peaceful path where the street lights were brightly lit even in the darkness.

As she has done many times before.
