Episode 36. Honor (1)
“They said that after killing the devil’s piece, the erosion disappeared.”
“Yes, matriarch.”
“What if frontier erosion also has a starting point?”
If we remove something at the starting point, wouldn’t all the erosion along the frontier disappear?
The erosion of the devil’s fragment and the erosion of change are clearly different.
But there was enough possibility.
“It might be worth investigating. “You worked hard, Rodelin.”
To hear my father say ‘you worked hard’.
Rodelin was filled with emotions.
“Well, it’s almost time for the meeting. Dispatching an investigation team and investigating the pure white plains. “Is there anything else you need?”
Marquis Luke’s voice is filled with strange excitement.
Is it because of that? Rodelin said, encouraged without even realizing it.
“Matriarch, actually… … .”
The story Rodelin brought up was about Lutus and the parrot.
A story that has nothing to do with the Lucid family and could actually cause trouble.
Marquis Luke listened to Rodelin’s story in silence.
“… … So, I tried to erect a tombstone for Lutus and Parrot.”
“You must have been rejected.”
“… … That’s right.”
I wanted to reveal Luthus’ sacrifice and past events and shine his honor.
However, compensation for his father was refused, let alone a tombstone.
-Isn’t that what happened when I was there? What else is a parrot? And who told you to contact me on the weekend?
These were President Dwenor’s words.
Even if Rodelin is famous, at most she is the vice president of the student council.
It was impossible to handle work without the president’s permission.
“Tsk, what a damn bastard. “He does all the disgrace to the nobles.”
Marquis Luke also knew Dwenor.
Because he was one of the three most incompetent nobles in this empire.
but.
“Rodelin, we can’t help that. “You probably know why.”
“… … “Because there is a lack of justification.”
Rodelin clenched her fists.
I knew it well, so I didn’t want to say it.
But I got excited without realizing it and ended up saying it.
I can’t believe I made such a stupid mistake.
“Yes. If you use your family’s power, all you need is a suitable compensation and erecting a small tombstone. But do you think it’s the right thing to do?”
It corrects the wrongs of the past, is just, and is worthwhile.
But the ‘process’ is the problem.
“In the end, isn’t the idea to use the family’s strength, honor, and power to control the Academy?”
Rodelin closed her eyes tightly.
The reason why Lucid has such a high reputation is because they do not get involved in political issues and are only loyal to the empire.
The honor our ancestors had built up over hundreds of years could not be used for something like this.
Even if it is.
‘Even if it’s the right thing to do.’
I clenched my fists tightly.
It’s difficult and difficult.
Even though we see injustice right in front of our eyes, we have to just look at it even though we know it is wrong.
“We are a military family. Being able to overcome the absurdity in front of you is one of the virtues you must have as a member of Lucid. “I believe that if you are wise, you will understand.”
“… … “Yes, matriarch.”
“I’ll contact you at this time tomorrow. “If you have forgotten any information, please tell me then.”
Soon the crystal ball turned black.
Rodelin sighed deeply.
“If you say something unnecessary… … “Like a fool.”
But no matter how much I thought about it, there was no other way.
A vice-student president. A loner with no power.
I can’t hope for support from my second-year classmates.
Carrying power on your back means you have to listen to what they want.
‘Justice.’
If only the family had the perfect justification to put pressure on the Academy.
It was a night when Rodelin’s worries deepened.
* * *
“Hehehe.”
“… … .”
“Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu!!”
“Ah-oh! Shut up and eat! “How long are you going to smile like that?”
Ding!
The spoon Luna threw hit me on the head.
But my laughter didn’t stop.
Even if you get hit with a spoon or get scolded, the world looks beautiful.
Why?
[Imitation of God: S]
You can use it by imitating the skills you see.
It is in a state of special power.
Up to 5 skills can be saved and used (5/5).
However, the grade of the imitated skill is fixed at A.
Current imitated skills: [Swordsmanship], [Earth Flipping], [Slash], [Demon Art], [Sky Splitting]
Yes. The number of skills that can be imitated increased from 3 to 5.
The number has increased by as many as two.
‘I never thought there would be a hidden reward.’
Revealing the relationship between the clown and Luthus.
It was just a curiosity from a deceased person, but it came back with such a big reward.
I couldn’t help but feel good.
‘The Gae-gaegi skill has become Gae-gaegi.’
The reason why [Imitation of God] is called a dogfighting skill.
This is because even each family’s vision technology can be imitated and used.
Of course, there is a penalty.
First, you can only imitate skills that you have seen with your own eyes.
Second, if a skill consumes mana, you must have enough mana to use it. The same goes for skills that require other special conditions.
Third, in the case of vision technology, only one can be imitated.
Luna has a skill called [Lester Family Style E], and Rodelin has a skill called [Lucid Family Style C].
Originally, if you were to imitate the [Lucid Family Style], you should be able to use all vision techniques.
But it doesn’t work that way. If [Flip the Earth], [Flip the Earth], if [Split the Sky], [Split the Sky].
They are each divided like this and must be imitated and used.
For something called fraud, it’s a pretty painful penalty. but.
‘It’s a skill that makes the penalty look ridiculous.’
[Imitation of God] can also imitate the final boss’ skills.
The problem is that it dies as soon as you see it with your eyes.
‘The fact that all imitated skills are fixed at A level also acts as a big penalty in the latter half of the game.’
But in the beginning, it’s a story.
If I meet the conditions, I can use A-level skills on my own.
The five skills I have currently selected are as follows.
Originally, [Corrosion] was in place of [Swordsmanship], but it was changed to [Swordsmanship].
The reason why [Imitation of God] is a magic skill can also be seen here.
‘Passive’ skills such as [Swordsmanship] can also be equipped.
‘I’ll have to imitate the Aurors later.’
I imagined myself fighting with sword energy flying.
Well, it looks very handsome, just like my handsome face.
“Ugh, the parrot died and I thought it was funny… … .”
Grumble, grumble.
Actually, Luna wasn’t in a very good mood.
Because my friend, the parrot, has passed away.
Is that why? I was only eating two bowls of rice.
This is a child who usually eats three bowls.
“Hehe, don’t you need the right to ask questions?”
A question ticket that I decided to give Luna every time she helped me.
However, Luna expressed her refusal, saying that there was no need for such things between friends.
‘Because it’s the same as Sunding. So, how can we survive in this harsh world?’
Luna said after being lost in thought for a moment.
“… … There is no need for the right to question, let’s replace it with the right to wish instead.”
“Right to wish? That’s a little… … .”
“shut up. “Because you don’t have the right to veto.”
He didn’t even have a knife, he was a robber.
No, he’s wearing a knife so he’s a real robber!?
It turns out that Sunding was me, not Luna.
“… … do not die.”
“yes?”
“Don’t die. “I know that because if you die, I will follow you and kill you.”
Luna ate with her head down, as if embarrassed.
Words that may be touching.
But when I saw it, there was no such thing as an obsessed stalker.
‘No, don’t follow me when I die. ‘Don’t even think about following me and killing me!’
Perhaps having Luna as a friend was the biggest mistake in this game.
Even if I die, I have to die again. Is there anything more scary than this?
“So what are you going to do today?”
“It’s a break. How about refreshing yourself by eating ice cream?”
“… … “Not bad.”
Contrary to what he said, I could tell he was quite happy.
Because Luna’s body was twitching.
He is a good kid who is happy just to do something with me.
‘The problem is that you don’t know the difference between a friend and a stalker.’
When will our Luna realize that fact?
I really wonder when I should confess at least once.
‘Then we can become normal friends right away… … huh?’
Beep… … .
Rodelin’s whistle was heard from somewhere.
Even today, which was Sunday, the students were eager to lead.
but.
“The whistle sound has no power. “I guess something is going on.”
“… … Do you judge people’s mood by the sound of their whistle? “Are you a pervert?”
But it certainly sounded that way to my ears.
‘Well, I can roughly guess the reason.’
Rodelin spotted us and approached us, blowing a whistle.
“Unhealthy dating of the opposite sex is a penalty point… … .”
My words slackened and my body swayed.
The line nameplate was also crooked diagonally.
Rodelin seemed weak at first glance.
“… … It’s true. “You’re a pervert.”
“yes?”
“It’s sexual desire that responds to the sound of a whistle… … . Well, don’t worry! “Because I am a wonderful person who knows how to respect my friends’ tastes!”
But contrary to what she said, Luna was moving further and further away.
She shouted from afar, telling me not to worry and that our friendship was strong.
That’s how I became a pervert.
* * *
“Take one.”
“… … Thank you. “I’ll give you the money later, so don’t worry.”
“Hehe, there’s no need to do that. I received help yesterday… … .”
“no! “I will definitely pay you back!”
Rodelin turned her head and took a bite of ice cream.
It seems shameful.
I was so out of it that I didn’t just leave my wallet behind, I even got it from my junior.
‘He has a very tiring personality.’
The problem is that Rodelin is too mature.
It would be okay to act a little more age-appropriate.
‘Well, I understand.’
The weight of the family that Rodelin carries.
She couldn’t leave the family home until just before the game ended.
‘Even if you are abandoned by your family, you will not be abandoned by yourself. That is Rodeline de Lucid.’
At the end of the game, there is an episode where you are betrayed and abandoned by your family.
The hilt of the sword is held in Rodelin’s hand.
He could have revealed his innocence and turned his back on his family at any time.
But Rodelin always took her hand off the hilt.
The stigma of being a traitor, the tarnished honor, and the stigma of being a slave on one’s back.
Rodelin’s love for her family could not be broken.
‘No amount of stagnant water could change Rodelin’s mind.’
It will be the same this time too. So, I plan to attract attention as well.
In the first place, my goal was not to save Rodelin, but to defeat the final boss.
Rodelin is active as a party member even in her slave state, so there is no problem.
‘That’s stupid.’
Rodelin walks on her own toward the thorny path.
All I could do for her was to allow her to rest for a little while like this.
“Well, now that I think about it, where did Miss Luna go?”
“He said he was coming for a short period of mental training to protect his friendship with his friend.”
“… … ?”
Rodelin tilted her head, asking what that meant.
It’s a natural reaction. Because I couldn’t understand Luna either.
-I can’t believe I can’t accept a pervert who likes to whistle as a friend! Not enough discipline!
He said and started running.
They say you’ll understand after you sweat.
“Hmm, mental discipline even on days off. You are a model student. “I need to reflect on this too.”
Did he organize his thoughts using his own logic?
Rodelin scribbled something in her notebook.
This person is also in serious condition, really.
“Hehe, more than that… … “It seemed like you were worried.”
“It’s nothing.”
“Tell me. “Just sharing your worries makes you feel lighter.”
Actually, I knew very well why Rodelin was like this.
It was also a brief continuation of the hidden piece I got.
“Actually… … .”
