Returner’s Notepad Episode 110

About life (2)

I submitted the completed answer sheet in 20 minutes.

When I turned around, I made eye contact with Elise.

Elise was looking at me instead of at the test paper. Look through your unique round eyes.

I don’t know why, but I just mouthed it back.

─What are you looking at?

Elise lowered her head without saying anything, and I packed up my belongings and came out.

Today is the day I have an appointment with Solliet.

Was Solliette’s elective education a physical training course?

You’re probably taking a physical assessment test right now.

I took the bus and arrived at the lakeside, behind the old building of Endex.

“… … Are you coming now?”

“what.”

But Solliet came to the lakeside first. Alone in a tent, fiddling with my smartphone.

“Take it.”

She held something out to me. It was some kind of coated paper file.

[List of fraternities.]

“Here is a list of fraternities I know of. There was a lot of information in the family archives. I collected them and brought them back. Please read.”

“… … .”

I received the file.

There was a long list of fraternities, but I skimmed through them and put them in my pocket.

“You worked hard.”

Of these, there probably won’t be any.

It’s not that it’s not, there’s already one big group that vaguely appears in my mind.

From Nightmare’s first murder to his last, if you recall in your mind all the aspects that benefited from his murder… … .

Naturally, an organization called ‘The Beginning and the End’ comes to mind.

As of now, it is a fraternity that is shrouded in a veil and no information has been made public, but in 12 years, that veil will be slightly lifted.

It is a secret society almost equivalent to a religion, grown by the children of high-ranking families whose names are known by joining through a channel called ‘university’.

“I’ll find out. me too.”

“… … .”

Then Solliet looked at me with suspicious eyes.

“you. “I think I know something.”

As expected, he is quick-witted. I shrugged my shoulders.

“I told you. Even if we wanted to chase it now, we wouldn’t be able to chase it. “I need to increase my strength.”

“… … Well, if you tell me, can I attack you on my own?”

“Could it be you?”

Soliette of the future. Jade, the best in the world, and the best sword of all time, the only one capable of winning alone.

It may have been her back then, but Solliet now is honestly too weak.

“But they will approach you first anyway.”

“What does that mean?”

“First of all, pretend like nothing happened and forget everything, then enter Edsilla University. “Then they will definitely try to recruit you first, as the heir to the Arcne family.”

“… … .”

Soliet looked at me. As if he was wondering something. She said without blinking her big eyes even once.

“You talk as if you already know everything.”

Hwiiiiing──

Suddenly a wind blew, and her hair shook. A ray of starlight fell from thin air. It was a shooting star in the middle of the day.

Suddenly, an atmosphere was created.

For some reason, this thought occurred to me.

I think I can tell Solliet at least.

I think at least one person might know my secret.

“You know everything. “I am a regressor.”

Pop-

The wind stopped.

Solliet blinked those big eyes again.

I blinked, blinked, and then asked again.

“Oh yeah. Tomorrow is the swordsmanship class. Have you decided on an opponent?”

“… … yet. “The herbal diet is all prepared.”

Five-chosen style, Samgeom style. The sword that uses all of them in a very clever way has been created in “Notepad.” If things continue like this, Solliet will be embarrassed at least once, right?

“Is it that crazy change sword again?”

“yes.”

Solliet calls my swordsmanship style ‘crazy change sword.’ It’s a crazy style that puts 3 to 4 times more strain on the body than the change sword.

“Then, let’s go watch the body break.”

Solliet sarcastically shifted her gaze back to the lakeside. Her waves reflected the soft sunlight. Looking at it, she muttered quietly.

“But… … “You’re a little curious.”

“what.”

“You came to me when I needed you most.”

“hmm.”

My heart trembles slightly, but she’s probably saying this because she’s genuinely amazed. Without any particular intention or meaning, he was just amazed at the timing of me coming to him.

I smiled.

There was only one thing to answer.

“I guess you did something good in your past life.”

* * *

Elise took the Latinel assessment test. He checked dozens of times in the full 90 minutes and was confident of getting a perfect score.

“Ellie~ Ellie, let’s guess the answer~”

As soon as the test was over, Raye came running. Elise gave him a scorecard.

“Oh thank you!”

“Do you think you saw it well?”

“Well, look at this. “Hehe.”

Raye showed the note written by [Hae-ri]. To be honest, Elise also coveted it a little, but Raye didn’t share it. It’s like 10,000 Ren.

“There are almost ten questions in this notebook alone? “Only the very difficult ones!!”

“… … You worked hard. “I have somewhere to go.”

“oh! Already?! “There are a lot of good-looking kids here, so let’s have some fun!”

Elise came out. Ignoring the nobles who were clinging to him, he got straight into the waiting sedan.

“I’ll be right there.”

Today’s destination is Sellon Mental Hospital. Not Petra University Hospital, but one of Petra’s affiliated hospitals.

I have to meet Yael again and have a proper resolution to this.

Tiring-

Just then a text message arrived.

[Father: There is no surveillance. No camera, no eyes, no ears, not even mana, will see you.]

It was my father. After almost a year, I received a message directly from my father.

Elise put her smartphone in her pocket.

“Im here.”

The Selon Psychiatric Ward has only three floors above ground, but extends underground for a very long time.

Elise went down to the basement alone.

When I got on the elevator, I hugged Cookie tightly to my side.

Ding-!

A place that doesn’t even exist in the ward’s blueprint, the 17th underground floor.

The entire floor was pure white, and in the middle of it was Yael, her entire body wrapped in restraints.

“See you again? “This often?”

He said with a smiling face.

“There’s not even surveillance. It’s my first time. “I guess my father expects you to kill me?”

“… … .”

If it were my father, maybe that would be the case. I hope that I will kill the people who cannot be killed simply because they are blood relatives.

Elise walked over and sat in front of him.

“I’ll just get to the point.”

There is no need for nonsense. There is no reason to waste time. Elise glared into Jael’s eyes.

“What is your relationship with Sion Askal? “How did we become friends?”

Yael chuckled.

“Why are you so curious about that friend?”

“Because I’m your friend.”

“You can be friends too.”

“… … Forget the puns. “Before I kill you.”

Elise activated her mache. Yael’s eyes widened as he saw the rising hair.

“Wow. Are you talking about Petra Hospital? I met you there once too. “Shion said that this is the first time in his life that he has seen someone as pretty as you.”

As you say that, close your eyes and smile. It’s as if he’s trying to recall the past.

“Ah, I miss the old days.”

“Just knowing of your existence, Sion Askal is a threat to the family.”

Elise’s expression twitched fearfully.

“You know.”

“What?”

“If there is a commoner who knows you, the family has no choice but to deal with him.”

At that time, Yael’s expression hardened for the first time.

“… … “Sion is a good guy.”

nice guy.

Elise nodded.

“huh. that’s right. I know.”

Sion Askal is a good person.

A person who has overcome all adversity that Elise could not even imagine, and fought against illness to reach this position. However, he is a thoughtful person who supports the orphanage and is loyal to Libra in order to never forget his beginnings.

Elise knows too.

Sion Askal is a good person.

“But there’s nothing you can do about it, right? “I’m not a good person.”

She got up from her seat.

“stop.”

Yael caught him as he tried to turn around.

It was a completely different tone from before.

“… … .”

Elise also saw him again. He jerked his only movable jaw.

“sit down.”

The atmosphere became quite heavy.

Now, the clown-like aspect that I always had has disappeared.

Elise sat down willingly.

Yael looked into her eyes.

“How did we become friends? I went looking for it myself. “I heard that Shion was hospitalized.”

“… … why?”

“Because I have known Sion Askal from the beginning. “Even before that friend was hospitalized.”

Did you know before you were hospitalized? Elise kept her poker face, but I don’t know what bullshit this is. Shion comes from a commoner background with nothing special.

“Elise. “Do you know how you were born?”

Yael suddenly changed the topic with something strange.

“Does it matter now how you were born?”

“then. Let me tell you. “Elise, you were special from the moment you were born.”

Yael looked into Elise’s eyes with a serious face. He recited his old story like that.

“I had quite a bit of bad luck. “There was a storm that day that looked like a magical disaster.”

Elise quietly listened to his recollections.

… … It was a dark summer night.

On a windy and rainy night, there was a sedan driving down the road. Inside were my mother, father, and Jael.

The destination was Petra’s parents’ house, but the mother suddenly felt labor pains, and the father rushed to a nearby hospital.

My entire field of vision was covered with rainwater, so I couldn’t see anything. To make matters worse, the entire car body slipped.

Quaaaaaaagh───!

collided with an oncoming car.

My father and Jael were safe, but two people were seriously injured.

No, there were three people.

The other driver, her mother Celine, and her unborn baby Elise.

My father urgently called the hospital. Fortunately, an ambulance arrived in time and both people were taken to the small hospital.

However, the number of doctors was limited. The surgical space was also small.

At that time, my father threatened the hospital. A family called Petra was mentioned.

─You guys are doctors, but you don’t even know what family Petra is?!

Jael saw her father’s eyes crying out like that.

It was brutal.

More than the fear that his wife and daughter might die, his eyes show that he cannot tolerate the idea of ​​treating and treating his family members as equals to ordinary people.

In the end, the hospital chose my mother.

Her father took a deep breath as if he was satisfied, and Yael wandered around the hospital room alone and looked through the crack in the door.

A woman dying coldly alone, and a nurse quietly sobbing next to her.

In that moment, the cry of a newborn baby echoed like fate.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

There, Yael had a strange experience.

I felt like something inside my heart was breaking.

That day, I became fully aware of the sense of discomfort I had always felt while growing up as the son of a nobleman and the son of a great family.

“… … “One died, two lived.”

Yael told the conclusion of the story.

Elise’s eyes were empty.

“You and my mother lived together.”

A bitter smile spread across his lips.

“I’m still curious. Couldn’t the hospital have saved all three there?”

Yael muttered like a sigh.

“But time that has passed never comes back.”

Then he looked back at Elise. As if it was no big deal, he said someone’s name.

“His name was Ern.”

“… … .”

Elise sat quietly.

Probably because she anticipated the end of this story from the beginning.

“Ern Askal. You came to life in place of my friend’s mother. But you’re going to kill that friend? “Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?”

Jump up!

Elise stood up. Her movements faltered, like a doll whose strings had become loose. She tried to keep her composure, but her hands were shaking.

“Petra’s desire and ambition. “You are more than useless things like that.”

Yael behind me said.

“You must remember your beginnings as a human being.”

I had no strength in my legs. Elise came out, placing her hand on the wall.

“Remember, little brother. You are ‘Elise’, not Petra. “Elise, Elise!”

As if running away, I closed the door to the pure white space.

I went straight into the elevator.

When I came to my senses, I was on the ground floor of a hospital.

My father was standing there with his entourage.

Gen Petra.

The matriarch of Petra, who has the same eyes as you.

Although it was the first time she had seen her father’s face in a long time, Elise was still dazed. She felt sick to her stomach. It was hot as if there was a fireball in it. She kept feeling nauseous.

“What happened?”

my father asked.

Perhaps it was a question about Jael’s life or death.

Elise barely answered.

“I’m alive. But I will keep my mouth shut.”

“… … .”

My father didn’t answer. He just turned around, and Elyse didn’t catch him. Could it be because he really wanted to kill Yael?

Elise just took out her smartphone.

I was about to call my mother, but suddenly…

Someone saved as [garbage] caught my eye.

“trash… … .”

Elise looked at it quietly, repeated it, and then wrote one letter. One letter. One letter.

I changed the name by pressing it slowly.

From three letters called [garbage] to five letters called [Zion Askal].
