I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 306
306 – New Semester #2
306 – New semester #2
The place where Flora led me was on the outskirts of Ludens, outside the central city.
A place that is underdeveloped and behind.
Regardless of the joy and anticipation that a new semester had begun, it was a gloomy place.
Even though the sun is high, it is dark.
Walking around every alley are people with very tired and scruffy faces.
Or they are robbers armed with daggers and swords.
「Rat hole」
This place is called that.
It’s a place where shacks, bars, and unkempt alleys are close together and remind you of a dirty rat hole.
Although it was located inside Ludens, it was also a place that most people would not come to.
It would be an even more irrelevant place for a lady of character like Flora.
“Hey, look over there.”
“… Are you a noble?”
In fact, everyone passing by was busy glancing at Flora.
Some people even tried to pull out their swords as if they were trying to steal money.
“Tch.”
It seemed like he couldn’t take action easily because of me being next to him.
“… Well, I was a little scared when I came alone. I feel quite relieved because I have Victor. If you go a little further, you will reach the place where you picked up the ring. “If you just go over that alley over there—.”
Flora stopped in a secluded alley.
It was a place that could only be described as a truly underdeveloped back alley.
A place where the security influence of the Ludens Student Council does not reach.
There, strange blood stains are staining the dirty mud floor.
“Are you sure about this place?”
“That’s right.”
Flora nodded her head.
Then she touched the blood stain with her palm.
“I’m sure this is the place. “I picked this ring up here.”
At this point, I get curious.
Why did Victoricado Flora go to such a remote place?
When I asked about this, Flora said softly.
“Because there was a family head at an inn nearby.”
“Is it Cain?”
“…”
Flora said no more.
It’s probably because I know very well that my relationship with Cain is bad.
However, I was a little puzzled.
The Duke who took the crown.
A person who could be said to hold the highest position in the world was resting in an inn in a rat hole, not a fancy hotel.
“Victoria probably came to meet the matriarch.”
“Is it. “I guess so.”
“But, I think I was attacked by someone here.”
“…”
It’s an attack.
Flora said while I was lost in thought for a moment.
“We are the duke’s daughters. “There are so many people targeting you.”
“I know.”
Some people might think that because she is the daughter of a duke, she would have grown up like a flower in a greenhouse.
Neither Victorica nor Flora had happy days.
Victorica and Flora have suffered from all kinds of danger since childhood.
Cain Arkwright was the type of person who made enemies everywhere, and those enemies targeted his daughters, who were the most vulnerable than the strong duke.
“Are they trying to hold me to ransom? Either that or…”
“I don’t know.”
But I do know one thing.
If Victorica fell, she wasn’t attacked by ordinary people.
I noticed that there were marks on the wall nearby that looked like bullets had hit them.
“Here, at this spot where blood was spilled, “Light bullets” Were fired from left to right. Looking at the random firing, it appears that there were multiple opponents. “The other person fled into the alley over there.”
“Can you tell when you see it?”
“Okay. “I can tell.”
The time I spent growing up as the Arkwright family’s hunting dog wasn’t meaningless.
I also have experience as an executive committee member.
“I think Victoria collapsed here. Her blood is soaked. Looking at her blood hardening, the date is… Has it been about a day or two? “It wasn’t long ago.”
It was when I was calmly assessing the situation and collecting evidence.
Soon Flora asks, muttering.
“… So, will Victorica be okay?”
My voice was trembling.
I spoke about it with confidence.
“It will be like that.”
“How can you be sure of that?”
“Flora she is not saying this to reassure you. The ring you wear is proof of that.”
“This ring?”
Flora didn’t seem to understand.
Because I have lived a life that has nothing to do with battles or items.
“You can’t save a dead person. However, it is possible to prevent damage that would kill a living person. “Thetis’ Ring” That I chose is such an item.”
When the wearer’s HP falls below 1.
Thetis’ Ring was able to nullify the damage and restore health only once.
The amount of health restored ranges from 1 to 100 depending on the magic power stored in the ring.
Rings used in this way are consumed like consumables.
“The Broken Ring of Thetis: It is filled with the energy of a fairy who wants to protect her precious people. Magic power can be stored in the jewel embedded in the center. Now it’s broken and can’t be used.”
“In other words, the fact that this ring was used tells the story that Victorica somehow crossed the threshold of her death once.”
Victorica is alive.
However, due to her situation, she would not have been able to be admitted to a treatment ward.
To use an analogy, the big Victorica is an illegal immigrant from another world.
Two Victoricas.
It would have been possible to predict how big an incident would occur when such a story spread.
“He is alive. Somewhere.”
It has to be that way.
For now, that was enough.
* * *
First, I started investigating the surrounding area.
There was enough commotion to use magic.
No matter how remote the alley, there will be someone who witnesses it.
“About two days ago. Did you see any commotion or incident happening in the alley over there? “Someone was injured by a knife?”
He was like a bully.
I think he was around 40.
He looks older because of his sparsely missing teeth
He immediately burst into laughter.
“There are always incidents and disturbances in this rat hole. There are people who can’t pay taxes to the Ludens Student Council. Because of that, it is a place where even the executive committee members do not show up.”
A slum where no taxes are paid.
Because of that, it is a place where public power and the power of welfare cannot reach.
“Student, this ‘rat hole’ is such a place. It still happens that someone gets stabbed with a knife. Look over there.”
Where the man pointed with his split fingernails, there was a man being beaten in the alley.
“You b*stard, are you touching my things carelessly? You b*stard! Where did you hide it? “You b*stard!”
“Hehe, I don’t know. Ugh, evil!”
Puck, puck-.
The security is definitely not good.
Especially when you walk here late at night, ‘raid’ events that occur at night almost inevitably occur.
That’s why neither I, Nike, Enio, or even Victorica came near here.
But the big Victorica must have been confident.
Confidence that we can survive the raid event.
“Anyway, the people of the Arkwright family…”
Don’t you know that confidence soon turns into arrogance?
Arclight’s weakness is overconfidence and carelessness.
However.
Even so, the big Victorica was strong.
There is no way that anyone would be able to hurt a large Victorica that is around level 70 or 80 in the “Rat Den” Where the average level is around 30.
I asked the man.
“Who is the strongest in this ‘rat hole’? Are you a king rat? “Or are you a murderous Reaper?”
At my question, the man in front of me laughs in a sinister voice.
“Well, whatever. It looks like he did some research on his own. But haven’t you researched this? There is nothing free in this world. If you want to hear stories from this ‘Sech Tongue – Malcolm’, pay the price.”
Is it money?
I don’t have any cash in my pocket right now.
I used up everything to pay for the funeral.
But Malcolm, who had a sharp tongue, seemed to want something other than money.
“I’d like to get something from that noble lady over there. If possible, just wear it on your body. Hehe, it seems like it would make money. The thinner the better. It’s okay if it sparkles.”
“Flora’s?”
I looked at Flora.
“Me?”
She seemed very offended when she was singled out by a slob named Flo.
He’s a man who does not hide his sly desires
It was soon time for me to say something.
Flora stepped forward.
“If it’s a price, you pay it. With something shiny. Shine, “Flame ball”!”
Flames flashed from Flora’s white gloved fingertips.
A round bead shaped like a flame.
It is a basic attack magic fireball.
Flora held it close to Malcolm’s face.
“Ah, tdd! Well, please clean that up! Because I’m going to tell you! Now I see it was a wizard! “The one holding this “Rat hole” Tight is not the rat or the murderer, but the princess!”
“Are you a princess? Done. Flora. “I got the information, so I can let it go.”
Tak.
As soon as Flora let go of her neck, the man sped away.
I ask quietly as I see his back his moving away.
“Flora, are you able to use magic?”
“It’s just a fireball. Victorica told me this. Oh, the bigger one, of course. They say I should be able to protect my own body…”
“I see.”
The world was changing step by step in places I did not know.
Flora knows how to use magic.
“So, are you going now? To that person called ‘Princess’!”
Flora shows motivation.
However, I had no choice but to touch my lips with an ambiguous feeling.
“Flora, I think it would be best for you to follow me here. That princess absolutely hates noble women.”
I think it would be even more disgusting if it were a real princess like Flora.
But Flora was ruthless.
“This is my younger brother. “I have to find it.”
That expression is quite serious.
“Don’t worry. Because I won’t ask you to protect me. As you just saw, I can at least protect my body.”
It was Flora, sticking out her big breasts.
Sloshing.
Her self-sufficient appearance and self-confidence to the point of arrogance seemed to prove that Flora was also an Arclight person.
* * *
“Victor! Please protect me quickly!”
“…”
Where did she confident attitude from earlier go?
As I frown, Flora shouts.
“I’ve never heard of so many bugs!”
“It’s natural that there are a lot of bugs in dirty sewers.”
Of course, it was not an ordinary bug.
Buuung-.
The name of the cockroach the size of a small dog over there is “Black cockroach.”
The one that is as large as a large dog is the “Lord Cockroach.”
They are each level 20 to 30, but they are visually powerful.
━Zuzuz, zuzuzu.
━Sagraaksagrak.
Look at the sound of movement.
It’s terrible.
Buuung-.
“Wow, it can even fly!!”
Flora couldn’t come to her senses as the cockroach flew towards her face.
Of course, I just pulled out my sword and lightly cut him down.
Wow.
Looking at the writhing creatures split in half, Flora looked extremely disdainful.
“Worst. It’s really the worst.”
Pot-.
It was then.
Something got inside Flora’s dress
“Hey, profit… !”
Flora was scared and frustrated.
Human hair can stand on end like a cat’s fur.
“To the bugs! It looks like there’s a bug in it! Get it out quickly! Take it off! Quickly!”
It takes a lot of effort.
Are you a rich girl?
That’s right.
I stretched out my hand.
Then he traced Flora’s back with his palm
You can definitely see something protruding through the thin dress.
“Heeeee… ” ! Forward, forward!”
“You went forward?”
It is a tense moment in many ways.
In order to catch bugs, you inevitably have to stick your hand into Flora’s front island.
“It’s not like s*xual harassment.”
“Okay!”
From noble mtl dot come
“Know that nothing is personal.”
“I understood!”
“But I may have some personal feelings─.”
“It’s good anyway, so hurry up!”
Flora was almost half crazy.
It’s no wonder that a bug got into a gap in the clothes of a girl who grew up noble and went crazy.
I can’t do it.
I put my hand into Flora’s front of her thumb her.
Molkan.
The warm, soft skin of her chest seemed to be pushing away her hand.
Are my hands in heaven now?
My body was in a gutter-like sewer, but my palms were wrapped in something very happy.
36.7 degrees.
Catching bugs in that warmth was more difficult than I thought.
“Gotcha.”
“Huh… !? Well, that’s not it! “You idiot!”
Then what is this thing I’m holding with my finger?
It was a time when I was nervous in many ways.
“Hey… ! Ship! “It’s on the boat!”
“Oh, this is it.”
Zech.
I was finally able to catch the long tail.
When I pull out my hand, a lizard with a long, shiny tail sticks out its tongue.
━Sreup, Sreub.
“This guy is ‘Starlight Lizard’. It is a lizard with a body that shines like a star. If you sell it to a store, it will fetch at least 200,000 Renais.”
It wasn’t a bug.
I guess it’s good.
“Huh, I really hate it. Why am I like this…”
“So you shouldn’t have followed me. “This dirty rat hole sewer is no place for a girl to come.”
It was when I slightly scolded him.
Flora adjusted the fabric of the dress that fell down to her shoulders and tore the hem of her skirt.
Then, she ties the sleeves and hem of her skirt around to make it easier to move around.
“Let’s go.”
It’s powerful.
Didn’t your will break after what you just went through?
That means he wants to find his younger brother.
We walked along a sewer full of bugs and lizards.
Soon, something similar to a hideout made of old boxes and candles appeared.
Old flags hung here and there and spider shapes drawn on fabric showed the identity of the place.
“Is this where the princess is?”
It was when I said something.
“Who is the princess? Do you want to rummage?”
An angry voice was heard beyond the drums and boxes piled up like a wall.
Soon, tough-looking men appeared in the narrow hideout of the underground waterway.
What appeared between them was a woman wearing leather hot pants that closed to her leather clothes. Her hair is blue with a hint of black.
Her makeup is heavy and she has a wire wrapped around her hand.
“Are you the princess of ‘Rat Den’?”
It was indeed so pretty that it did not fit into this underpass.
His age is around mid-20s.
It’s powerful and nice to see in person.
“It’s not the princess, it’s Alcmede. “If you make a fuss one more time, I can completely bury you.”
「Tantula – Alcmede」.
This is one of the characters that appears as a boss in “Rat Den.”
He was also an NPC who gave quests.
“I came because I had a question. Have you seen a wizard being attacked in the past few days? Otherwise, I would like to ask if there is anyone who has the skills to attack a wizard.”
“Victor.”
“I know my name.”
“A man who came back from the dead. It’s strange not knowing. “If you tell me where you obtained the ‘super elixir’ you used or how to make it, I can tell you.”
It’s a big deal.
How can I tell you something that doesn’t exist?
It was a time when I felt embarrassed.
“The wizard who was attacked is my younger brother. If it is a case, we will provide you with enough money from the family, so please cooperate… !”
Flora requested.
Looking at that, Alkhmede frowns as if she is angry.
“Nobility knows that everything can be solved with money.”
Are you angry?
Originally, when you brought noble female characters as party members, Alcmede reacted this way.
I was just about to think things would get complicated in many ways.
“Follow me.”
Alcmede guided us somewhere.
A room with an old bed.
Scalpels and various drugs.
Scary-looking surgical tools.
It didn’t take long to figure out that this was an underground medical facility of its own. Alcmede soon pulled back a curtain somewhere.
Grumbling.
Then I saw someone lying on the damp bed.
“… Victor.”
“Victorica.”
Only then was I able to relax my trembling fist.
“What on earth happened?”
