I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 411



411 – A Moment of Leisure

411 – A moment of relaxation

We left the western forest field and prepared to return to the academy.

If you’re preparing to go back, all you have to do is pack your luggage.

“Now that I’ve heard news of Zoroastara, Victor, I’d like to give you a small gift. “This is ‘Perennial Ginseng – Mandragora’, which only grows in this western forest.”

The witch Medea held out to us a plant with many roots hanging down.

Its size is as large as Arnoy’s head.

Akasha was greatly impressed by the strange shape.

“I’ve heard of perennial ginseng, but this is my first time seeing it in person. It looks good for the body, but I have no idea how it is good.”

As Akasha said, it was a root that seemed to be good for health.

Since this was my first time seeing this item, I had no idea what kind of effect it would have.

Nike must know this well.

Nike has a specialty in 《Pharmacy》, so she instinctively knows the benefits of plant roots, vegetables, fruits, etc.

I guess it’s because I was born and raised in the Forest of Rashgard and collected and ate various things from a young age.

Enio asked.

“Nike, can you tell me what effect this perennial ginseng has?”

“…”

Nike was speechless.

I just stare into space and make a groaning sound.

His face was extremely red and out of focus.

Gugit.

“Hey, are you ignoring me now?”

Enio, whose words were ignored, waved his palm around in front of Nike’s face or pulled his cheek her her, but Nike did not respond.

“Why is he like this? “I wonder if there was something wrong with what I ate yesterday.”

It was Enio who was tilting his head

Then he asks me.

“Victor, do you know why Nike is doing this? Now that I think about it, I think it’s been like this since this morning. “What is it?”

Why is Nike so dazed in the morning?

Of course I knew.

It’s probably because of what happened yesterday morning.

At dawn, I showed Nike my new technique.

Since it was my first time trying this kind of technique, I wasn’t confident and was very nervous.

I couldn’t say this was like this and that was like that.

I was also a little nervous at the time, so the situation itself didn’t feel realistic.

“Mental… “It’s ready!”

Nike slaps herself on both cheeks.

Her cheeks were as red as a ripe peach and looked painful, but Nike shook her head as if she did not care at all.

Then he carried his packed baggage on his shoulders and began to lead the way vigorously.

“Then let’s go back to Ludens!”

It looked very powerful.

Enio and Akasha also seem to have felt that.

“… No matter how you look at it, it’s strange. That’s not even the direction to the academy. Why are you going in the opposite direction?”

“Enio Blackstar, I’m just saying this now, but Nike has always been strange.”

I see.

Anyway, we will have to leave the forest soon.

So it was time to take a step.

“Victor.”

Someone called me.

It was the witch Medea.

“It’s not too late. Think again.”

Medea seemed very anxious that I was about to take over the last dice that Gilgamesh was unable to throw in the Pantheon.

Worry and pity.

And various emotions, including anger and depression, can be seen sparkling in the dryad’s amber eyes.

“Tartaros. Everyone could die. Because it is an unprecedented hell that no hero has ever been able to overcome. “I heard that it’s a place where you can’t even guess how big it is or what’s there.”

I decided to give a brief answer to what he said.

“Hell, prison. It’s a place called that. But now that I look at it, this world is like a prison, with only rules, choices, and set paths endlessly repeated.”

I felt it while talking.

The reason why I was able to play the game D&A for tens of thousands of hours.

It was because I couldn’t achieve 100% achievement.

Same play every day.

No matter what happens, it ends up repeating the set route.

However, the anticipation that there might still be something new that I don’t know about made me click on a new start.

Again and again.

Now I really feel like I can see a new road I’ve never been on before.

It would be too harsh to give up now.

If I had planned to give up now and wait for a comfortable death, I wouldn’t have suffered this far.

Medea said.

“I knew very well how difficult it would be to persuade a man like you.”

Sssss-.

Tree roots grow like harpoons from the ground.

Are you planning to attack me?

“Do you want to try it now?”

I also put my hand on the hilt of the sword.

Then the tree roots suddenly disappear into the ground.

“Hmph, I’ll quit. If it were me before, I wouldn’t be a match for you now that I look like this. “It’s my fault.”

Surprisingly, he readily admits it.

Thanks to that, I was also glad that I didn’t have to cut down the witch Medea.

“Victor, come quickly! If I keep doing this, I’m going to miss Nike!”

Enio Beckons from afar.

Is it really time to go?

I asked.

“Are you waiting here? King Gilgamesh.”

“Yes, he promised to come back after winning the game. And I promised that I would wait for him here.”

I see.

A woman tied up in the forest to keep a promise that will never come true.

It’s amazing.

“You brat, you’re wasting time trying to keep a promise that will never come true—that’s what you thought, right?”

“…”

“Gilgamesh, that man. Even if he didn’t know anything else, he was a person who strictly kept his promises. If he said he would come back, he would definitely come back. So, I can wait.”

From noble mtl dot come

“Indeed.”

“Still, it’s true that it’s quite difficult. I’ve forgotten how many autumns or winters have passed, so I’m starting to become insensitive to the change of seasons. So don’t make me wait.”

The witch Medea struck her chest with her fist.

Her bracelet she shakes.

It was a bracelet made by crudely weaving seashells and thin rope.

It looks a bit shabby for a great witch to wear.

Of course, what mattered to her now wasn’t her her her her bracelet her her her, so I said to her, “Okay. “I promise,” She nodded.

To hear from Enio.

The witch Medea said that she was a symbol of ‘contract’ for warlocks.

My heart itches to swear to someone like that.

“Goodbye. And a guy called Orca might come to this forest. “That guy probably isn’t someone I can communicate with like I can.”

“Please be careful.”

Zek-.

With those words, we left the western forest.

* * *

“Look! You said this was a shortcut, right? If I go down the hill from here, I can get to the academy in 2 hours!”

Nike waved his hand her her her her.

The spectacular view of Ludens Academy can be seen at a glance from the bottom of the high hill.

“《Vine Root》!”

Nike pulled out long vine roots from the ground.

We held on to it tightly like a rope and deftly went down the slope as if we were rappelling.

“It’s done!”

I love Nike so much.

I’ve always been cheerful, but today I’m especially brighter.

Should I say that my hesitation has disappeared or that I have gained more confidence in asserting myself.

“Nike, what happened yesterday? Why are you so energetic today? “Until last night, everyone was clucking like dying chickens.”

Enio asked suspiciously.

Nike narrowed her eyes at that and said, “Hmm… ” , What should I do? Shall I tell you? No, I won’t say anything either. “It’s nothing!” He laughs.

Enio seemed offended by the strange sight.

“What. I think there was something there. “You’re cheeky about Nike Moke Moke.”

Enio looks at me and Nike alternately.

As expected, Enio was quick-witted.

You realized that there was something between me and Nike.

I decided to tell the truth.

“I kissed Nike.”

Pooh wow-!

Then I heard a strong sound.

Akasha, who was quenching her throat with water from her canteen, spewed water from her mouth.

Thanks to that, my face and body on the other side got soaked.

“What are you doing? It’s unhygienic.”

As I was frowning, Akasha spoke.

“… “I think I just heard something amazing!?”

Is it enough for her to squirt water?

At least give me a handkerchief, you b*stard.

“Victor, you really have no talent for joking. Victor kissed Nike first instead of me. It can’t be like that, right? “It was a boring joke.”

Enio laughs huhuhu.

He said it was a boring joke, but he looked quite happy smiling.

Then I make a face.

“Is that really true?”

“Yes.”

I nodded.

What can you do by lying about something like this?

Then Enio’s face disappeared in the air.

That’s because he fell to his knees.

Enio fell down on the dirt floor.

“It’s a dream. I guess I haven’t woken up from my dream yet. When I wake up again, I’m sure I’ll still be in the forest. “I have to finish preparing and get out of the forest.”

Zek-.

Enio closes his eyes.

After 5 seconds, I open my eyes again.

I said.

“Did you sleep well?”

“It wasn’t a dream at all… !”

Enio these days are like this and that and she has severe emotional ups and downs.

Of course, it was nice to see Enio these days.

I liked the arrogant and mysterious look in the past, but now it’s fun to watch.

“Victor! Too bad! “He even proposed that he would be the first to marry me!”

“…”

I don’t remember being the first to propose marriage to Enio.

Enio seemed to be mistaken, and while I was trying to remember, Nike shouted.

“I also have my own memories. From now on, every time Viktor kisses someone else, he’ll think of me, right? Then, this is my memorable victory!”

Enio is soon snorting with laughter.

“Really, there are no raccoons that sneak into private homes at night when everyone else is sleeping and eating crops. I was weak. It’s disgusting. You can’t live like that. “You’re cowardly.”

Enio sarcastically sneered at Nike.

But to my ears, it sounded like praise for Nike.

In fact, Nike didn’t seem to care much either.

“Well, okay. “There is nothing we can do about what has already happened.”

After taking a breath, Enio stood up and patted the dust off her skirt and stockings.

The sudden calmness is somewhat puzzling.

No, if you look closely, Enio’s straight and thin eyebrows were twitching.

I started to feel uneasy somewhere because I knew that Enio’s eyebrows would slightly shake like that when he was up to something bad.
