Episode 87 First boss, Lein (5)
“You probably know this because I heard about it, but Rodelin senior asked me to take care of you.”
“Is there anyone who would be friends with a child like me?”
“of course. That strange guy also met a great friend named me, right? “You can do anything.”
Leger nodded as if it was a valid opinion.
… … In what part were you persuaded?
Surely it’s not the part about him being a weird guy?
“Now then, shall we go make friends?”
“Chi, how do you make friends?”
“huh? That’s right… … .”
Luna was speechless.
It was natural. Our Luna.
‘Because I have only one friend.’
I can’t believe you accepted Rodelin’s request to make a friend for someone like that.
Rodelin, who asked a favor from a child with only one friend.
Lunana accepted the offer as a friend.
There is no separate feast for idiots.
“Yes, yes! I’ll tell you one useful tip for making friends. When you find someone you want to be friends with… … .”
“What if I find it?”
“Just ask first.”
“Well, I see. Just ask… … .”
Leger took out a small notebook and began writing down Luna’s words.
I wanted to tell him not to give strange advice, but I couldn’t.
This is because Luna’s words were not particularly wrong.
‘Because that’s how I became a friend.’
In other words, we can say that this is advice derived from Luna’s experience.
That’s all. He threatened to kill me, swore at me, had a black-edged sword pointed at my neck, and even kicked me.
How did you become friends with Luna?
It’s a mystery. really.
“Hey, what are you doing? “Please give me some advice too.”
“Advice?”
“Tell me how you made a great friend like me.”
Well, well.
What about bending down so you could bite comfortably?
But before that, there is one thing I should point out.
“Miss Luna, could you come here for a moment?”
“What?”
I slightly distanced myself from Leger. So far away that we can’t hear our conversation.
“Are you really planning on going with me?”
“It can’t be helped. I received a favor from my senior. Let’s go together for a while. “Just until you make your first friend.”
“It’s not possible. That’s why we can’t devote our time to it. Have you already forgotten? “Why did you enter the academy?”
Luna goes to find those who framed her family.
To build up my strength.
Of course, as far as Luna knows, I also entered the academy to seek revenge.
“… … .”
Rather, you will have no choice but to follow my words.
Because you must have realized that you don’t have time to play friends with Leger.
‘Of course, this is only a superficial reason.’
The real reason I stay away from Leger.
It was because of Luna’s kind heart.
I don’t mind if Leger stays for a while.
But what if you can’t make other friends? What if Luna becomes too close to Leger?
‘You will be forced to become a member of my party.’
Feeding them is no problem. The problem is Leger’s characteristic of being a [hopeful survivor].
A bizarre trait that leaves the battlefield when targeted by an enemy.
A party member who runs away at a crucial moment?
I can’t trust you and leave it behind your back. Especially if you have to challenge the final boss.
So my decision to stay away from Leger from the beginning was very correct.
“It’s only for a moment. “We also have to take breaks.”
So, you have the feeling that this moment won’t end in just a moment?
“It’s going to be difficult if you do this.”
I opened my eyes. This means that the [Open Eyes] skill was used.
Luna trembled. But she didn’t avoid her eyes.
“I know. Our work is also important. but… … .”
Luna continued, scratching her head.
“They say you don’t have any friends.”
Only then did I understand Luna’s thoughts.
Luna has been alone for five years since she was ten.
Maybe he saw a reflection of himself in Leger.
My old self, where I had to embrace everything on my own.
It evokes sympathy. behave shamefully.
“… … “I can’t help it.”
“uh? Are you saying you will accept it?”
“Hehe, I have no choice but to listen. “Isn’t this a request from a friend?”
“Zero… … !”
Luna’s expression is full of emotion.
I lifted my index finger towards Luna.
“However, you must follow this.”
“huh? What?”
“I’ll write it for you. “It’s a bit long.”
I took out paper and pen from [subspace].
The pen in my hand glided and wrote.
-Luna, the owner, should provide food, clothing, and toys for the dog. Take good care of it so that it does not cause trouble with others. Also, take it for walks to prevent health problems.
“Are you saying I’m responsible for taking care of it? “Yes, you can do this as much as you want.”
“Hehe, I guess it’s harder than I thought?”
“What is difficult? But this phrase… … I think I’ve seen it somewhere… … “Where was it?”
Luna tilted her head as she looked at the paper I had written.
It will be quite familiar.
Things that pet owners must keep in mind.
Because the phrase was taken from there.
‘A pet position that cannot be fought. That’s also Leger’s current position.’
So if you treat it like a pet, something will work out.
It would be better if it were sold(?) as soon as possible.
It may be temporary, but to put such an incompetent child in the party.
Don’t you think this is too thoughtless?
Not like that.
This is because there was only one role that even Leger could play.
‘When the party falls into insurmountable danger… … .’
Because you can use it as a shield.
Of course, the shield will be broken in return.
Cruel? This game is really that kind of game.
Throwing a character who was a friend just a moment ago into the devil’s jaw.
Attack using the time gained in return.
In the game “Academy Heroes,” there were so many sacrificial plays that it could be said to be natural.
This means that the game was designed that way from the beginning.
‘Well, after facing the devil a few times, he might fall out on his own.’
It was true that, as Luna said, rest was needed.
It’s going to get busy after Chapter 1 is over.
“okay. So, has it been decided?”
“Hehe, please follow what I wrote down. “Be sure to take a walk.”
“I understand.”
I headed to Leger’s side with Luna.
Leger was still sticking his face out of the box.
“Sorry, you waited, right? Because we had work to do.”
“S-sorry. Me, someone like me is taking up my time… … .”
“It’s not like that, so don’t worry. Zero, please give me some advice.”
“Advice?”
“Yes, a great tip for making friends. I told you one thing. “Now it’s your turn to tell me.”
When you find someone you want to be friends with, ask for them.
Surely that’s not the beginning and end of advice?
Luna looked at me blankly.
Yes, I see. It’s the beginning and the end, right?
As expected, our Luna was a great child.
‘I can’t help it.’
If this continues, a monster that bites people may appear in the academy.
I want to avoid being captured and interrogated by Rodelin, so I have no choice but to sincerely help her.
“First of all, this box is the problem. Since he often hides here, it won’t be easy for people to approach him. “You probably couldn’t find it in the first place?”
“B-but… … “It’s scary.”
“I’m not asking you to come out of the box. Instead, leave the box lid open. “That would be okay, right?”
“yes yes… … . “That’s okay.”
First with the lid open, then out of the box, then without the box.
It will get better slowly.
Although it seems like it will take quite a bit of time.
“Well, that’s not bad advice. “It’s not as good as my advice, though.”
Anyone can see that the advice I gave is better, right?
What you gave me wasn’t even advice in the first place!
“… … .”
A heavy silence fell on the training ground.
Luna said, scratching her head.
“But what do we do now?”
“… … .”
Luna Luna, what do you mean?
Someone, after much thought, came to a conclusion and accepted it.
What did you say? But what do we do now?
It’s really crazy and exciting.
“K-huhu… … .”
Was Luna’s behavior a big shock? Her annoyed laugh escaped.
Even [Mental Defense], which helps me maintain my composure at all times, has been broken through.
“Why, why are you doing that?”
“It’s like that often. He’s such a strange guy. Just make sure you understand.”
Gossip and gossip -.
What a strange guy.
A kid who bites people and a kid who stays in a box all day.
Anyone can see that you guys are weirder!?
“Hehe, hehe… … . Just keep training as usual. Miss Leger, please watch.”
“Is it still okay? “You must be bored.”
“Gwae, it’s okay. Wow, it was fun to watch. Well, it’s a move I can never do… … .”
Wiggle wiggle-.
Leger crossed his fingers as if he were jealous.
“Tell me everything you want to do! “I will do it for you!”
“Oh, no! “How could someone like me do such a sad thing!”
“You’re not sad at all, are you? let’s go!”
Luna held Leger’s hand in the box and headed to the center of the training ground.
But how on earth does that box move?
It’s mysterious, really.
Grumble-.
The training room door opened and someone came in.
‘Charon?’
[Extra sense] did not activate. It’s natural.
Because they were not in hiding and had no intention of making a surprise attack.
Anyway, why did I come here?
“Hehe, what’s going on here?”
“bouncer. Doesn’t greeting come first? “You are not polite to your teacher.”
“The light of my life, the spark of my life, my sin, my soul. “Have you arrived, Teacher Caron?”
“… … bouncer.”
A cocky guy even if you don’t say hello, a cocky guy even if you say hello.
I don’t know what to do. But really, why did you come here?
Charon, who was glancing toward Luna, frowned slightly.
“… … “What is that?”
I guess I thought there was something wrong with my eyes.
That’s it. Leger is also a person, a person!
It’s because he’s a person in a box.
“I guess he’s a strange but not strange child.”
“What is that ridiculous way of expressing yourself? And even if it’s weird, it’s probably not as weird as you.”
It’s shocking.
That I am strange, and that I am even stranger than Leger.
It was a time when I was about to express my dissatisfaction by puffing out my cheeks.
“This is my first time seeing you. “What’s your name?”
“This is Miss Leger. “It’s not an honors class.”
“Leger, Legera… … “It’s not a particularly memorable name.”
A conversation with nothing special.
However, I was able to obtain two pieces of information.
First, Leger is not a spy.
If it’s a child with exceptional abilities, there’s no way Charon wouldn’t remember it.
If the child was talented enough to be a spy, Charon would have taken notice of him from the moment he entered school.
The same is true even if you belong to the Teron or Eurydia faction.
If you belong to either, you probably just tipped me off.
‘Because Luna was almost killed by Teron. ‘He must have shared that much information.’
And second. This was important.
‘Leger’s stealth skills are so good that not even Charon can spot him.’
It is none other than Charon.
A person who stands at the pinnacle of intelligence, to the point where he is called the Empire’s rat.
An exceptional sense of vision is essential, and finding hidden opponents is one of his specialties.
I can’t believe that Charon is seeing Leger for the first time today.
It was proof that his hiding skills were excellent. So much so that I have never found it.
‘… … ‘Maybe there’s something I can use it for?’
For a pet, its abilities aren’t bad.
How should I cook it so that I can eat it to the limit?
“Hehehe… … .”
Did he feel my gaze?
Leger, who was inside the box, was trembling.
