I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 435
435 – Father and Son #4
435 – Father and son # 4
“You said that if you give us food, you will tell us which of the women here looks like Victor’s ‘true wife’ the most. Now is the time to answer.”
Words that were most incompatible with this dark and gloomy Tartarus appeared one after another.
It makes me wonder if it would be a good idea to use the calories I just ate to answer this question.
There were quite a few things I had to ask Avon first.
That it is possible to overcome a wall regardless of the ‘curse of fate’.
Why did someone who should have been in the kingdom return to Tartarus?
It was time to have a serious talk.
Of course I thought so.
However, what Enio asked was something that could be said to be small and trivial compared to the things listed just now.
Please tell me who is suitable for my royal family.
I thought it was Enio’s arbitrary question, but the expressions on Victorica and Nike’s faces, who were watching this situation in silence, were also quite serious. I felt nervous about what kind of answer I would get.
Avon’s expression when he accepted the question was extremely serious.
At this point, aren’t you more sincere than when you exchanged swords with me?
Avon asked.
“If I understand correctly. This means that all the girls want to be Victor’s girlfriend. “You must be curious about who looks the best among them?”
“Of course it’s me, right?”
Victorica stretched out her chest.
She had a confident posture, as if she was about to fire a laser with her chest.
Seeing that, Avon nodded her head with a serious expression.
“Did you say she was the third daughter of the Arc Light family? According to an old saying in the kingdom, her third daughter was taken without any conditions asked. The young lady is fully qualified to be the true wife.”
It seemed so.
When Victorica began to show off with a look that said, Enio, who was watching, asked as if she was annoyed.
“Then what about me?”
“Are you the Lady of the Black Star? Since she is the only daughter, she must have grown up as a golden jade leaf. She must have grown up loved by everyone. I know that too. No matter which house she marries into, she will be a good hostess. It is safe to say that it is a cronyism.”
Enio let out a humming sound as if he was somehow relieved.
Of course, Victorica was upset.
“Didn’t I say I was a crony? “If there are two cronys, it’s like it’s meaningless.”
“That’s—.”
That was when the man opened his lips to answer that question.
Nike, who was nervously listening to the story, raised his hand.
“Mister! Then what about me?”
“Is this Miss Nike, Sardić’s daughter? It seems like it’s been a long time since my birthday when I was very young that I’ve seen something like this. You look just like your mother. She was the most beautiful woman in the city of flowers, which was famous for its many beauties. You are also a crony.”
“Wow!”
Nike liked it very much.
Victorica and Enio were judged as ‘crony’, but if he were the only one to be judged as a concubine, he would have been very depressed. But I can’t help but be happy because I didn’t do that.
However, Avon’s answer was strange.
Victorica, Nike, and Enio also soon began to look dissatisfied with the unresolved questions.
This is correct and that is also correct.
Is there any other answer that is so unpleasant?
About this Avon said.
“There is no point in asking me. If you want to be first, the fastest way would be to ask Viktor, not me.”
That is correct.
However, regarding this, Enio seemed to glance at me slightly with narrow eyes.
“Victor says the order doesn’t matter because he’s greedy. Everyone says it’s cronyism, but honestly, there’s no way I can understand it.”
“I can’t believe you talk nonsense even after meeting three girls at once who wouldn’t be disappointed if each of them became the hostess of the palace. “He’s a very lucky guy.”
I can hear the sound of wind escaping.
Perhaps Avon was laughing.
Soon Victorica added a word.
“He’s such a lucky guy! Would you like to hear the story about when that guy broke off his engagement with me? Well, that guy got beaten up by Luke, a transfer student, and I’m defending him…”
* * *
Avon was actually correct when he said that Nike, Enio, and Victorica are all ‘crony’.
Because they were all people with so much potential that they could be considered a whole world.
If it were the same, it could be said that it had enough potential to be in charge of each main story, no matter what game or story it was.
Perhaps because they were such people, it was natural for them to receive attention and affection from people wherever they went.
Perhaps that’s why the women quickly became friends with the lonely swordsman named Avon.
“That’s why Viktor came back after slaying the dragon! We returned to the club room where Keungkeong and I were waiting. Also, when fighting Beowulf…”
It was when Nike was messing around.
My face felt hot as I continued to bask in the fire, so I left for a moment and someone came up to me. Then he stabs her in the side of her.
“What are you doing here? Everyone is having fun talking.”
That guy was Enio.
Since Enio’s red eyes were looking at me, I decided to just be honest.
“I don’t understand this situation a little bit. “I can’t believe I’m chatting happily with someone who was fighting to kill each other just moments ago.”
“It’s Victor’s family. Everyone wants to be friendly, right? Victor, wouldn’t it be better for us to get along with Victor’s father?”
It was a correct opinion.
Just what should I say?
It’s because I don’t feel like that person is my father.
You know that we are deeply connected by blood.
At this point, it seemed that family was not simply comprised of ‘blood ties.’
I went back and sat down.
Then Nike ended his speech by saying, “This is how we came to Tartarus!”
It seems like he was reciting his journey from the time he met me to Tartarus.
Avon, who had listened to the story for a while, nodded his head.
“It’s quite a fun and wonderful adventure story. This is the first time I have heard such exciting news from the earth since Gilgamesh’s journey a long time ago. Was something like that happening on earth?”
Is this an honest impression?
Or maybe I’m just praising Nike’s story.
However, the fact that this man mentioned Gilgamesh’s name first was an opportunity for me.
“You said you followed Gilgamesh to the surface. However, I heard that the rule is that the existence of Tartarus is confined underground. How were we able to overcome that?”
“The only thought was to overcome the wall. When I came to my senses, I climbed over the wall and reached the ground. That’s it. Then, fortunately or unluckily, I became a great warrior of God.”
“God?”
“He is the god of dice. He looked at me carefully as I rushed out of Tartarus. And it gave me strength. This is what Yumi was told you locked away with a petrification spell or something. It was handed over to Luke, but it looks like Luke passed it on to Yumi again, right?”
“Is that so?”
The power to go through episodes with memories.
Protagonist position.
I felt like I knew where it had suddenly appeared.
“Then I ended up falling victim to Cain’s sword and eventually died. This is all I know. “No more talking or sleeping.”
“Is that why you came back to Tartarus? Even if the prisoners here die due to the curse of Tartarus, they are not dead.”
“…”
Avon did not answer.
However, there were times when silence contained more information than an hour-long chat.
Luke and Yumi said that they had not seen ‘Grandpa Avon’ since Clarisse Village burned down. Avon probably died from the wounds inflicted by Cain nearby.
And his soul returned to this underground world, bound by the ‘curse of fate’ that governs the prisoners of Tartarus.
After that, this man wandered underground and came to be called ‘Disaster’ – my guess is that.
“Is that right?”
I asked.
The man nodded to that.
“Right. That’s a great guess. It looks like you learned well under the fearsome Cain Arkwright, right? “Now you think more like little Cain than little Avon.”
What did he mean?
Are you rebuking the son who grew up to resemble the enemy who killed him?
As I was thinking about it, Avon said.
“The man is strong. You too will just die like me. The god of dice is even stronger. Even Gilgamesh gave up the game and handed his turn to someone else.”
It was a more decisive story than I thought.
In response to that, Nike shakes her head and interrupts quite loudly.
“Victor is strong! Whatever it is, I’ve gotten through it well so far. “I said it was impossible to fight a dragon or fight Beowulf alone, but I did it in the end!”
It was a voice full of pride.
Soon, Victorica also joins in.
“Although Viktor is a guy who does things so reckless that he would be happy to die. Because he’s now a guy who won’t die even if you kill him. “I’m sure he’ll do something strange and take down Cain soon.”
“I’ve already had a fight with God. What I am saying is that we are not the ones to be afraid of such stories. If anything, it would be nice to show off our skills again.”
Even Enio shows enthusiasm.
It seemed like they were about to get into a fight at any moment.
* * *
When the conversation breaks for a moment and you get some fresh air.
Someone approached me.
“I take your side. They are good women. “They are too many friends for you, a fool.”
It was Avon.
Are you criticizing me harshly?
Or maybe this is the original way of speaking.
I heard from Luke and Yumi that the ‘bad old man’ in Clarice Village had an eccentric personality.
However, even if I knew that, there was a part of me that got angry somewhere.
“Don’t try to judge me however you want.”
“Yes, you are right. I don’t know about you. The time we spent together was only a short amount of time…”
He was hesitant about something.
I feel like I have something to say but I can’t say it.
Of course, I didn’t even care about that.
“I guess he’s questioning whether he can dare to call himself his father since we broke up with him when he was five years old. “I guess you’re more delicate than I heard you care about such things.”
“You’re more direct than I thought. It’s as you said. That day, the father you knew, Avon, was defeated and died. The only thing left is me, defeated and thrown into hell. “He is not a father simply because he gave birth.”
“Just because you gave birth doesn’t mean you become a father.” That’s true. Being a family isn’t easy. In that sense, was Gilgamesh a father to you?”
“Okay. Even though we only met for a month. So much so that I went to a distant land to see him again. Of course he didn’t meet me. He died a long time ago. But I met your mother.”
Mother.
Probably Rosé Crimson.
Rose Crimson was someone I didn’t remember.
But the other mother knows well.
“Was he someone who couldn’t eat peaches?”
From noble mtl dot come
“Peach? Yes, I was allergic to fur.”
“You probably like yellow and fall. “Because I liked the season when ginkgo trees bloom.”
“Yes, she was named Rosé, but she preferred ginkgo to roses. We often go for a walk picking up ginkgo trees or collecting ginkgo leaves… Who heard about your mother? Is she Cain?”
“That’s not what I heard. “I saw it first hand.”
“…”
Avon narrowed his eyes as if he couldn’t understand.
I probably won’t know even if I tell you.
I decided to just say this.
“Only one month. You and Gilgamesh were together for only a month, but you became Gilgamesh’s son. And about two years. This is the time Luke spent with you.”
Luke is an orphan.
That guy came to Avon every day and did various things to her, and Avon also told her about this and that.
Luke was like Avon’s son.
Approximately two years would be enough time to become a son and a father.
“Five years.”
It’s time spent with me.
From 1 to 5 years old.
Even my memories are blurry now.
If it were that much time, it would be enough to call them ‘father’ and ‘son.’
And about 20 years.
It was also the time this man and I spent together.
It’s a different world, though.
“To be honest, there were times when I resented it. After your death, it was a series of hardships that could not even be called hardships. But I won in the end.”
“…”
The man seemed to have difficulty understanding what I was saying.
Then, finally, he says something.
“Victor, I don’t know who you are now. It was only today that I first heard of the name Victor. But after crossing swords and listening to the girls’ stories, I understand. You’ve become stronger. “More than me.”
I know nothing about the existence of a father or his role.
Because I have never been a father.
I’m not sure if it will be possible in the future.
But now I feel like I know what it means to be a son.
It may often be difficult for a son and father to get along.
Especially if they are not honest with each other or have deep rifts.
But it felt quite good to be recognized by my father.
Perhaps a son is something like that.
Avon asked.
“So who do you like best among those kids? Since we are men, talk honestly.”
Every now and then, when a girl group appeared on TV, there was someone who asked who I would make my daughter-in-law. That was the moment that came to mind.
