I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 339



339 – Poor Confessions #3

339 – Poor Confession #3

Night.

Autumn nights are naturally quiet and cool.

It can be said to be as refreshing as stroking the hot summer nights with a cold hand.

But tonight was particularly excited and noisy.

“Congratulations to Miss Milone on advancing to the finals!”

“There’s no roll call today, so we’ll play until tomorrow morning… !”

“Rongomid, how many votes did you receive in this preliminary round? What? 52 votes? Phew… !”

From noble mtl dot come

“But he took a lot of tickets!”

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

The night of the preliminaries.

People were busy talking about the results of the afternoon festival.

There are many people who feel regretful and many people who are happy.

“… Sniff.”

When you’re laughing and talking here and there.

Someone was curled up and sobbing in an unlit dormitory room.

“… Hmm. Black and white.”

A girl crying with her blanket rolled up.

Her name was Nike Mokemoke

I’ve been sobbing for an hour already.

It looked very sad.

Rose, Nike’s roommate and friend, knew very well why Nike was so sad. So she got up from lying down and turned on the light in her room.

Dalkak.

A blanket rolled up under a bright light.

“Ni-ke.”

When she placed her palm on that round part, Nike said, “Waaa” And she cried even louder. He must have felt sad when he was touched by human warmth.

“Nike, cheer up. 6th place was also good. 6th place too… 6th place out of 500 people. If it were me, it would have been difficult even to go on stage…”

Suk suk.

Rose, the gardener in the dormitory’s flower bed, patted his friend’s her back her her her.

But the sniffles show no sign of abating.

‘This is a big deal…’

Nike was always a bright and cheerful friend.

A friend like a wild flower that blooms without losing steadfastness even in difficult environments.

For someone like that to be sad like this, the gap from usual was so big that it made Rosé feel sad.

It’s my first time seeing tears like this, so I don’t know what to do.

‘But I think I can fully sympathize.’

Rose’s friend Nike liked Victor.

Unlike other people who became interested in Viktor because of qualifiers such as ‘dragon slayer’ or ‘closest to the crown,’ Nike had liked Viktor since the days when he was full of debt.

Rose fully understood that feeling.

Victor may seem cold and hard, but he is actually a kind and deep person to everyone. That’s actually a greater point than slaying a dragon or finding a crown.

‘It might be natural to like someone like that. Because Nike was closer to Victor than anyone else.’

A chance to meet Victor like that.

That is what is said to be given to the winner of the contest.

Even Rosé, who is afraid of appearing in front of people, thought a little, ‘Let me do it once… ‘ .’ To the point where it feels so cold. However, Nike was eliminated in the preliminaries.

“… If only I had arrived on stage a little early…”

Nike was very disappointed.

Lateness.

Nike was late for the preliminaries.

━Then next is participant number 498, Ms. Mokemoke. Ms. Mokemoke. Ms. Mokemoke? Are you not there?

How much time has passed like that?

━Yes, the preliminaries are already over… ? The only thing left to do is vote… ?

Nike ran in a hurry.

However, the preliminaries have already ended and more than half of the voting has been completed.

━Who is he?

━Pink hair? Ludens students are amazing.

Even though I was late, achieving 6th place in votes may be quite an achievement.

But Rose knew.

There is no difference whether you are ranked 6th or 500th in the sense that you were eliminated from the preliminaries.

Nike himself knows this well.

So, they have been sobbing like that since the afternoon when the votes were counted and the rankings were confirmed.

“I prepared really hard… Sniff… I worked hard too…”

“… Nike, I’ve been keeping quiet until now on purpose. Honestly, I’m curious and want to ask. You worked hard preparing for this contest. But why on earth were you late for the preliminaries?”

Roommate Rose knew how sincere Nike was about this contest.

Nike had been preparing diligently even before Victor’s newspaper article came out.

A person like that would be late at the most important moment of the day.

I couldn’t understand.

“That is…” .”

* * *

In the morning, the preliminaries had not yet begun.

Nike looked at the only pair of sweats.

Nike liked these sweats because they were pretty and shiny and ironed…

‘Compared to the costumes prepared by other kids…’

It felt a little shabby to go out on stage wearing sweats.

Being alone and wearing sweatpants among pretty girls.

Normally, Nike didn’t pay much attention to her clothes. Rather than being pretty, I thought it was enough to just be comfortable to wear and sturdy enough to last a long time.

But today, for some reason, I felt extremely ashamed of myself.

‘Victor might also feel embarrassed to have a child in need like me next to him…’

A glance.

The time is still 12 o’clock.

The preliminaries start at 2pm, so there is still time.

“Article… It was great!”

Zech.

Nike picked up the raccoon-shaped piggy bank with her hand.

“Raccoon, I’m sorry!”

Clink.

A raccoon piggy bank broke after being thrown hard on the floor.

Check with your hands the gold and silver coins jingling inside.

So far, Nike has earned 2 million renees in profit from her side job by selling rabbit skins and medicinal herbs.

This would be enough to buy a pretty set of clothes.

Nike held on to the money and walked out onto the central street.

The destination is the clothing store that I first went to with Victor.

Dangle dangle.

“Excuse me…”

“Oh my, that’s the girl I saw back then. You rarely see such fun pink hair. “Are you here to look at clothes?”

Her sister, the store owner, welcomed her warmly.

Nike was nervous as she looked at the clothes displayed around her, and her owner asked as if she knew everything without having to explain it.

“What is the budget?”

“Two, two million…”

“I think it will be a bit tight as inventory is low due to the influx of customers. Still, it’s okay. I don’t know about pumpkin carriages or glass slippers, but I will take responsibility for at least one dress.”

Zech.

The store owner rolled up his sleeves.

Then, with a familiar hand, he places the tape measure on Nike’s body

“Your waist is smaller than last time, but your breasts are bigger than last time? After all, it’s a growth machine. Doesn’t the school uniform I wore last time fit like this?”

“Yeah, that’s true, but…”

Swish swish.

A designer who quickly measured dimensions.

She soon brought out a fabric with shiny flower shapes and started cutting it with scissors.

“Because my hair is pink, my clothes are colored milk brown, which is popular among Ludens’ fashionistas these days—.”

“…”

I can’t understand what you’re saying.

But I thought it was a very pretty fabric.

If Nike were to wear clothes made from that material, Nike would truly be like a protagonist.

Tick tock.

Time passing.

Before I knew it, the time was 1:00, 1:05, 1:10…

Nike was a little nervous.

Because the preliminaries were at 2 o’clock.

“Okay, that’s it. 「Wild Flower Dress」 I made it in a hurry, but it’s pretty enough, right? By adding a point to the waist, it makes the waist thin and makes the chest and hips stand out more. Attractiveness will also increase!”

Palak.

It was a pretty dress at first glance.

Thump thump thump, Nike’s heart is pounding.

“Here’s 2 million Rennies!”

“I’ll give you a receipt. But can I try it on without wearing it?”

“I don’t have time… !”

Nike took her clothes and ran away.

The place where the preliminary round is held is the old school building.

It will take about 10 minutes to drive from the main street here to the old temple.

Arrive at 1:30.

There will be about 30 minutes left until the preliminaries, but I still wanted to prepare a little leisurely.

So it was a time when she was coming and going hard.

“aaah—!”

A sharp scream was heard.

A woman’s sharp scream.

‘Is it the alley over there?’

“Why, why are you doing this! Who are you? Move! Get out of the way! Oh, where are you holding on? “Stop it!”

A disturbing sound was being heard.

Perhaps everyone had flocked to the preliminaries, but Nike was the only one on the street.

‘Do I need help… ? !?’

Nike lifted her head.

The sun has already risen high.

‘There really isn’t much time until the preliminaries… !’

Nike was worried.

At that time, she heard a loud scream again, “aaah!”

In the end, Nike couldn’t bear it anymore and headed to her alley.

There, bronze-skinned women with their faces covered by veils were pointing knives and pressing a woman who appeared to be a female student at Ludens.

“I am offering you a chance to become Sajahan’s fifth bride. “Your mana reserves are suitable for the talent Sajahan is looking for.”

“Come on, come with us. Please note that there is no right to refuse.”

“Who is Sajahan? Let go of this! I have to quickly go to the main street preliminaries stage to see her sister! Do you guys know who I am? Do you know who my sister is? “If you touch me—aaah!”

“I shouldn’t say it in words. “They take us by force.”

Sereung.

A group of exotic women holding swords harassed one poor woman.

The woman resisted, but she could not overcome the number of five.

“Do not worry. Sajahan is a kind person to the woman who becomes his wife.”

“Si, I didn’t like it… ! Who, is there anyone!? Help me… ! Please save me… !”

Nike was looking at this scene from the corner of her alley.

My heart is pounding and sweat is flowing down my spine.

If this continues, what will happen to that woman?

And.

‘If I can’t get past this, I…’

Nike looked up at the sky.

Judging by the height of the sun, the time is about 1:40.

‘Maybe there’s still room… !’

If it were Victor, he wouldn’t have passed by.

Because Victor did not pass by Nike, who was her mischievous vagabond student.

When I thought that Nike was what she is today because of Victor’s good deeds, I couldn’t stand still because the woman in front of me looked like her past self.

“There, stop it!”

Nike stepped forward proudly.

And since there was no time, he went straight to the skills exercise.

“Grow up, 《Toge Root》!”

Pabat-.

The red-skinned women were stronger than expected and had a hard time, but after about five minutes, they clicked their tongues and chose to retreat.

“That pink hair, you’re stronger than I thought… !?”

“Tsk, pink hair. He had a hand in the affairs of the royal family. “You will regret it.”

“After…”

Nike breathed a sigh of relief.

My favorite sweatpants were torn to shreds and looked very unsightly, but fortunately there were no injuries.

However, the female student Nike saved was shaking.

“Uh, uh… Why am I like this…”

The female student had only her underwear left.

The underwear she was torn so it was a close call.

“I can’t go out into the streets like this… ” .”

Obviously, you can’t go out on the street in a state that is practically naked.

People’s attention will be focused, and the girl may even drop out of school out of shame.

“Uh, what should I do…”

Nike looked at her torn sweats.

She then looks at the shopping bag in her hand.

“Hey, wear this! “I don’t even have time to change anymore anyway!”

Zech.

It’s a waste of time to worry.

Nike ran as fast as she could, holding out her shopping bag to the girl.

To the stage of the old teacher.

But the stage was already over.

Nike was eventually eliminated.

“Hey… !”

* * *

“Nike was eliminated.”

Palak.

Even when I opened the newspaper again, I couldn’t get used to the name of 6th place Nike Mokemoke.

“If it were Nike, she would definitely have advanced to the finals.”

This Ludence is full of handsome men and women.

There are women with different charms, and Nike was cute and attractive enough to be counted among the top five.

She was featured heavily in advertisements as the main heroine of the DLC.

Even my picky eyes trained on countless heroines were instantly captivated.

That guy is in 6th place?

I can’t believe it.

“Something must have happened.”

Palak.

I looked at the newspaper.

And I was able to find a small article in the very corner.

“Women attacked by unjust groups… !?

Accidents continue to occur due to the crowds flocking to the Miss Ludens Contest.

Ms. M was attacked by five masked women wearing veils last morning, but fortunately with the help of those around her… (Syncopation)… “It was a girl with pink hair. If she hadn’t had that kid, now she said I’d be the 5th wife of that Sajahan guy…”

“This is a Nike story.”

The incident occurred approximately around 1:30 p.M.

Did Nike get caught up in this incident and end up late for her preliminaries?

“…”

Should I say it’s like Nike?

Should I say it’s unfortunate.

However, the rule is that failure to rule is failure.

It would be better to comfort Nike separately.

Sreuk.

I looked at the article again.

“Sajahan’s fifth wife…”

What does this mean?

Doesn’t the fifth mean that there is a fourth and a third?

“This guy, was he already married?”

How many women can you meet at once?

“Such trash─.”

… No, let’s say that’s true.

He was such a piece of trash that he tried to force him to do that.

“However… “Is there any benefit to him in causing this problem at this time?”

Even if Sajahan is trash, he is not an idiot.

The smell is too suspicious to be simply ‘something that happens by revealing a woman.’

The back of my neck, accumulated through experience as a member of the executive committee, hunting dogs, and all kinds of adventures, began to itch. You could call it my sixth sense.

━Kkeongkeong… !

“No, it wasn’t because of my sixth sense that it tickled me, it was because the tickling was sticking to the back of my neck. “Because it’s late, you’re saying you’re growing up now, right?”

━Hiooong… !

Anyway.

It’s definitely suspicious.

It would be a good idea to meet the girl who was attacked and find out what the situation was like at the time.
