I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 312

312 – This world is actually a game # 2
Clarice, a small rural town in the West, was a common rural town anywhere in the West.
If I had to pick one characteristic or specialty product, it would be ‘flowers.’
Looking down on the village from a high hill in spring, summer, or fall, it was very beautiful with colorful flowers blooming every season.
Like a scene from a painting or fairy tale.
「Village where fairies live」
Clarice Village was rumored to have that name around it.
In fact, at that time, there was a stream nymph with the same name as the village.
Claris, a nymph from the stream, liked to grow and take care of numerous flowers.
My favorite was the daisy, a round flower with the flower language of hope and peace.
So there were lots of daisies in Clarice Village, and the high hill in the village was often called Daisy Hill.
There was also a girl named Daisy.
Yumi Daisy.
A girl who ran around cheerfully like a flower blooming in the field.
And her old childhood friend Luke Mercyris.
The two were famous bad boys in the village, running around all over the place, getting in the dirt, chasing chickens, catching frogs, and hunting birds.
As they kept causing accidents, the adults in the village threatened them, saying, “If you keep doing this, Grandpa Mangtae will catch you!”
In fact, Yumina and Luke were scared by that story.
‘Grandpa Mangtae.’
Yumi recalled a memory from long ago.
Every corner of her her hometown her her her Clarice Village.
The scent of flowers and the warmth of spring days─.
And a cave that did not fit in with the village filled with sunlight.
A taboo place where not a single light shines.
‘The devil’s den.’
It was a place called by that name.
There was a forest near Clarice Village, and in that forest, there was a cave where the devil and Grandpa Mangtae came out, so it was said that no one should go near it and should not go near it.
A place that even adults don’t go to lightly.
Of course, Luke and Yumi, the biggest bad boys in town, actually liked that rumor.
━Let’s see if there is a real devil!
━Ugh, I’m scared!
━Luke, boys shouldn’t be scared!
It was simple curiosity.
Now that she thinks about it, she realizes that she had acted very foolishly.
It can’t be helped.
‘At best, I was a 6-year-old country girl.’
That day.
Luke and Yumi got lost and met Grandpa Mangtae in a cave.
He had a gray beard and hair growing out haphazardly, and was so thin that one could not think of him as a human being.
The large scar on his chest is so terrible that it almost does not look like it belongs to a human.
There were bones of all kinds of animals in the cave, and there were also bones that looked like they were human.
‘A monster that eats people.’
The moment she first saw Grandfather Mangtae, Yumi realized why her elders had told her not to enter the cave.
Yumi, who was a 6-year-old girl, urinated on her, and Luke chose to confront her abusive grandfather with a wooden stick that was lying near her.
━Yu, I will protect Yumi!
━Ho… , Are you saying that is your sword? Are you saying that you can protect your lives with just that?
━Yumi, I will stop you, so you run away!
Of course I couldn’t run away.
Did Luke also fall, unable to withstand the monster?
━You are the second person, including adults and children, who showed hostility in front of me and did not run away. What a fun kid.
Perhaps because it was fun to attack him, the monster did not eat Luke or Yumi or harm them. Because in the first place, he was just a human being, not a monster that ate people.
It’s just that he’s incredibly strong like a monster…, But he was a human being who was wounded to the point of death and was waiting for his death in a dark cave.
Luke and Yumi visited the cave every day from that day on.
Rather than the dull and boring village of Clarisse, which had nothing but flowers, it was more interesting to hear Grandfather Mangtae’s stories about all kinds of worlds, stories about Ludens Island, games, gods, heroes, and incredibly strong people.
━My life did not end that day. It must have been fate that I met you like this in this dark cave. Kid, do you want to become strong? Like the heroes I told you about? Do you want to get the crown?
One day, Grandpa Mangtae began teaching Luke and Yumi swordsmanship.
I think it was from then that Luke’s dream of becoming a great hero began.
But.
If Luke hadn’t learned the sword from that man.
No, if Yumi and Luke hadn’t visited the cave.
If only I had been a better kid…
Wouldn’t the village of Clarice, with its beautiful flowers in full bloom, have burned down?
‘If I had done that, I wouldn’t have received this terrible curse.’
Yumi Daisy recalled a memory she thought she had forgotten a long time ago.
The beautiful hometown of Clarice Village.
Now I can never go back to my childhood.
When I look at the man in front of me, even though he doesn’t resemble me at all, I end up thinking of a somewhat rough and hard man.
“You look just like the man I hate the most. Victor.”
“Are you Cain Arkwright?”
“Yeah, he looks like the guy I hate the second time. If you combine the man you hate the most and the man you hate the second, it would be you. “The worst.”
“If I’m the worst, Yumi, you’re an asshole.”
“… Why?”
“Just.”
“…”
Yumi decided to shake off her old memories.
The important thing is now.
“Anyway, cooperate with me. “Once I get the crown, I can go back to the entrance ceremony and put everything back where it belongs.”
“Cooperate?”
“Orca is too obsessive. It’s the first time something like this has happened, but I’m anxious because I don’t know where he’ll end up. But, you can trust it.”
Once you obtain the crown, you can pass on your abilities to the next generation.
This means that you can inherit the production rank, abilities, and level that you have managed to raise by dying over and over again and suffering over and over again.
If you die without getting the crown.
Yumi has to start from a place where everything is as good as zero.
‘Now, for the first time, I want you to go back to the time when you had nothing and only died and suffered… ? No way. No. Never. It can never be as good as that.’
I might really go crazy.
A tower of cards built up over a lifetime, and the wind of a light variable called Victor destroys it?
It is unacceptable.
“Put it back to its original state…”
Victor seemed to hesitate for a moment.
Then he asks one question.
“If things continue the way they are, I will die again. Because, as you said, I am a villain. Because it would be my fate to die. “What you’re saying is essentially the same as telling me to die.”
“… My, I will help you. Next time you won’t remember. I will try my best to save you somehow. Again and again. Again and again… !”
“…”
The man closed his mouth.
About 5 seconds.
To Yumi, those five seconds felt longer than the moments she had lived so far.
“I don’t like it.”
“… “What?”
“There is no guarantee that I will be alive next time. You already betrayed us. The promises you make are worth less than a piece of tissue paper. Because you are the kind of person who will throw away others like tools or bugs for the sake of self-seeking.”
“…”
Yumi swallowed the boiling anger inside.
A supporting actor who is always left out when he dies.
How dare you not listen to yourself, the person chosen by the world to become the main character.
“Then you are my enemy.”
Yumi spoke calmly.
Then, Victor raises one corner of his mouth.
“That’s right, you are the main character and I am the villain. You said it with your own mouth.”
“I will make you regret it. Please─, I will make you beg for me to start over. “I will make you fall down at my feet, cry and cling to me.”
“Look at the lines. I don’t know who the villain is. A sloppy third-rate b*tch like you is the main character. There is no other manga game like this. The production crew made a mistake.”
Yumi tried to suppress her boiling stomach and put her hands in her pockets.
She then said after she took out the transference scroll.
“Just wait and see.”
“Just pay for what you stole and go.”
* * *
Pot.
Yumi disappeared.
This is because of 《Transition Scroll》.
It was the moment when I realized how I got into this Ludens without being noticed by others.
“Damn b*tch.”
How dare you try to manipulate me.
She felt regretful that she could not kill him or at least seriously injure him.
“You should have slapped me.”
But if you think about it calmly, it was a good thing.
Today’s conversation, which was established by not killing him, had greater benefits than all the efforts we had made so far.
“This guy regresses infinitely. Just killing it is meaningless.”
Rather, the next me, and the next me, and the next me will just be brutally slaughtered by the malicious Yumi.
“We have to tie Yumi into this episode at all costs.”
The fact that she did not cause any major injuries was consistent with that reason.
If Yumi, who has an arm or leg cut off, moves on to the next line just because she made a mistake, it would be a disaster.
“In that sense, the provocation was successful.”
It made Yumi angry.
He must have wanted revenge on me.
You want to be fucked.
Not to the me in the next episode who knows nothing, but to the ‘me’ who exists in this episode.
“It didn’t seem like he even had the courage to commit suicide in the first place.”
Isn’t it because of fear and not being able to obtain the ‘crown’ that makes it difficult to commit suicide?
In the game D&A, a character with a crown can ‘inherit’ it to the next round.
Only for one character.
It seemed like Yumi was trying to hide information from me.
If I had to guess, it was clear that he was aiming for the ‘inheritance’ of the crown.
Don’t want to start over from level 1 without inheritance?
That will happen.
Would a guy who hates getting hurt or dying be able to start over from level 1?
“I was lucky.”
Anyway.
Today’s meeting was a great gain for me.
“There are several ways to incapacitate and subdue without killing. I should tell everyone about this. “Before you make a mistake.”
From where and how far should I inform you?
My worries deepen.
“No, it’s a luxury to worry about it now. From now on, it’s a game of chicken. “Elizabeth, have you come back home?”
━BIEE-.
A queen bee knocking on the window.
I told him.
“I want the bees to call everyone here. Right now. “Before today ends, I have something to say to everyone.”
This world is actually a game in the true sense of the word.
I’m revealing this to everyone.
