I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 321



321 – One Day in Fall

321 – One day in fall

The time I was absent from school was about a week.

It was quite annoying to handle the backlogged assignments during that time.

After school in the fall.

The time is approximately 3 o’clock.

Now it’s time to leave school, but I still have to sit in the classroom when everyone else is gone.

Whiuuu-.

The feeling of the autumn breeze blowing through the open window brushing my bangs is quite nice.

“Victor, don’t look anywhere else and focus quickly.”

Domina hit my desk with a stick.

“If you don’t finish all the assignments you missed while absent, you won’t be able to leave school today.”

Teacher Domina was quite strict.

“I should also write a research paper on the construction of nymph-friendly school facilities.” “This is important because it is a task with a high score.”

“…”

Why do I need to write such a thesis?

Maybe this is also because of the variable I created.

I just flap the pages of assignments and move the pen.

Crunchy.

“A fountain with drinking water for nymphs will be installed in a nymph-only park.”

“I’m done.”

“Are you done? Well done. The teacher will praise you.”

Suk suk.

Domina stroked my head like someone comforting a 7-year-old child.

“Domina, I am not a child anymore.”

“Oh, that’s right. Not long ago, he was just this little kid. “It seems like just yesterday I was shaking, holding on to the skirt of my teacher.”

In fact, she was right yesterday.

It was just that it felt like a memory from a long time ago.

“I think it would have been okay to stay like that a little longer. Why did you grow up so fast? “Do you have any intention of going back?”

“No.”

There is no guarantee what kind of side effects Enio’s spell using Nyxromicon will have.

I don’t know if I’ll go back to being a 5-year-old kid next time.

“There’s no need to go back.”

“Okay? It’s a shame.”

Domina was very disappointed.

Now that I see it, I think she likes children.

Wouldn’t it be better for her to be a daycare or kindergarten teacher rather than a teacher at Ludens?

Or maybe I like kids because they are at an age that can be considered marriageable.

If you got married early, it wouldn’t be strange to have a child over 5 years old.

“Are you done? Then, you will submit it to Mr. Bergerac.”

Domina took the completed assignment with her.

A classroom where I was barely left alone.

The Empress feels a bit relaxed.

No, I guess I’m left alone.

“Nike. What are you doing there?”

When I asked, the girl watching near the entrance trembled.

Then, he hesitated and looked around Class A’s classroom.

“Can I come in?”

Students from other classes must not enter other classes without permission.

But that’s just a story about school work.

“It doesn’t matter because it’s after school.”

Now that the precedent has passed, there is no particular problem even if Nike enters Class A.

Nike entered the classroom and looked around.

“… This is the smell of class A. “I smell good at studying.”

What kind of smell is that?

She was curious, but before she had time to ask, Nike started snooping around.

“It’s amazing to see Victor sitting in the classroom. “Not long ago, Victor was just this little kid.”

It was Nike who pointed to his waist her with his palm her

Didn’t you just hear a similar story from Domina?

We will continue to hear conversations like this for the next month or so.

“Is that the Victorica seat, and is this the Enio seat?”

Grumbling.

Nike pulled out Enio’s chair and sat on it.

“It would be nice if I could take classes with everyone. I hope everyone “I think it will be fun because I have a lot of friends in the same class.”

It sounded like he was extremely regretful and envious.

I said that to Nike.

“Nike, if you get good grades on the midterm exam, you will be able to join Class A.”

“… I guess so.”

“And we still have third grade left. In third grade, we were all in the same class, so we went out to play and things like that.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

“Enio, Victorica, me, and Victor! Domina will be the homeroom teacher? Also, I wish Miss Hilde and Miss Christina could be in the same class.”

“I don’t know about the homeroom teacher, but the kids in Class A will still be in Class A, so they will all be in the same class.”

“I wish Arnoy was in the same class! Other nymphs too! It would be very noisy and fun. Your third year will be so interesting that you will regret graduating… !”

No… , Arnoy should graduate this year.

Still, as Nike said, life as a third grader with everyone together seemed like it would be very fun.

But.

There is a high probability that we will not reach third grade.

“Nike, you heard my story then.”

“… “You mean we can’t be third graders?”

“Yes.”

“…”

Nike seemed very disappointed.

The guy who was twirling his finger on the desk added a few words.

“Victor said this world is a game. A game of great gods.”

“Yes.”

“They said it was a game with an end.”

“That’s right.”

“When did you say it would end?”

“It’s probably the end of the second semester of the second year.”

* * *

Closing ceremony for the second semester of the second year.

If you don’t see the ending before then, “D&A” Will end arbitrarily.

It ends abruptly with the conclusion that ~After a busy third year, we graduated and lived hard in our respective places~.

Commonly known as “Normal ending”.

And then it moves on to a new episode.

“Closing ceremony for the second semester of the second year.”

At that time, I thought that perhaps this world would face a cataclysm in many ways.

We may never become third grade and end up repeating second grade forever.

I couldn’t even imagine how the world would change that day.

Nike asked.

“… So, what if we see the ending before the closing ceremony?”

“It’s the ending.”

The ending I remember is throwing the ‘dice’.

The last turn of the dice that the old king Gilgamesh gave up on throwing.

The protagonist throws it on his behalf

Degurrr.

You can receive additional points or achieve an achievement equal to the number shown at that time.

There is also a little ‘bonus’ for the next episode.

If the number is 15 or higher, the attack power increases by about 10% in the next round.

Nike is falling down.

“But… In the end, even if you throw the dice, it returns to its original state. “It means that we will be trapped in this Ludens forever and have to repeat the second year.”

“It’s just as you said.”

“Hmm… , Do gods find that kind of fun? Do you find it fun to keep seeing the same things and playing the same games over and over again?”

Nike’s question penetrated to the essence.

I’ve repeated it over and over again. I wonder if it’s fun.

From noble mtl dot come

I also received this question a lot.

━Oppa, it’s been over 10,000 hours, is that game fun? You even memorized all the lines.

“…”

I had fun.

It’s not that it’s fun to repeat, it’s that it’s repeatable because it’s fun.

If I think about it that way, I can understand a little bit the minds of the gods who are turning this spinning wheel of entertainment forever.

“Next time, will I be able to meet Viktor again?” .”

Nike lay down on the desk and muttered softly.

“We won’t remember anything then. You will be washing your body in the shower with the water from the River of Lethe. “Victor and I won’t remember each other, and I don’t like that.”

“…”

“Victor, about me. You forgot. Same thing with my 5 year old’s birthday party. I remembered Victor. “Victor forgot about me and ruthlessly demolished my occult club.”

Gugit.

It was Nike who frowned.

“If the same thing happens again, Victor will demolish my club room again. “I don’t like that!”

“…”

I rewinded in my mind the memories that came to mind when I was a little kid not long ago.

When I was 5 years old.

I once participated in Nike’s birthday party.

At that time, Nike was the most famous princess in the city of flowers, and the cutest friend among the children who flocked to the party.

I was seriously injured that day.

Nike comforted me as I cried and healed my wounds.

“Why did Victor forget the time he met me?”

I also feel regretful.

It was a pretty good memory.

However, my memories now were all a mess.

I guess it’s because my brain got messed up in many ways because of the “Mimir’s Well” I used when I was young.

Getting hit on the head by Luke probably also had an effect.

“Victor, can you promise that next time you won’t forget me?”

Zech.

Nike raised her upper body from the desk she was lying on and spoke softly.

For some reason, the voice she was trembling

Whiuuu-.

The wind blowing through the curtains tickles Nike’s hair.

The sunset, the wind, and somehow my image reflected in moist emerald eyes spreads in many ways.

Even though it was not a party and there was no fancy dress, Nike was as bright as the star of her birthday as she faced the autumn sunlight.

It’s like a blooming flower.

This moment will be a sight I will never forget for the rest of my life.

Like a scene from a carefully created CG.

It will be saved in the gallery in my heart.

But.

In the end, you’ll forget it.

Just like it has been until now.

Any memory.

Intense traces too.

I’ll forget it all as if it never happened.

All the efforts I’ve made, the blood and sweat I’ve shed, are all meaningless.

Thinking like that makes me angry in many ways.

It was then.

Nike shook his head.

“No, no. “I’ll remember this time!”

“You?”

“I will remember Victor, Arnoy, Victoricana, Enio, Teacher Domina, and everyone else, so we can all get together like this next time!”

Indeed.

It was a Nike-like ambition.

“No, Nike. “I can’t do that.”

I lightly denied Nike’s story.

Nike trembled as if she was a little embarrassed.

“Well, you can’t do that?”

“This episode should be our last. Closing ceremony for the second semester of the second year. Beyond that, we will spend our third year.”

There is no more repetition than this.

The end of my long, long pastime─.

─I take a picture of it with my own hands.

“This is my last game.”

He spoke frankly.

It was a story that felt somewhat comforting and disappointing at the same time.
