＃Returner’s Notepad Episode 54

Recordak(6)

Creak- Creak- Creak- Creak- Creak- Creak- Creak- Creak–

A strange sound flows from its entire body. The skin has turned dark red, so it no longer looks like a human, and heat crackles and rises from the holes such as the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Dangerous.

“I see you gave him medicine.”

It would be correct to say that he was forcibly administered medication, but if he had those symptoms, it was probably ‘Neoz’.

Depending on the dosage, it can perform better than Perion, but its side effects and pain are 40 to 50 times greater.

That amount is already a lethal dose. He has a longer time limit than me. If you go to the doctor, you’ll hear ’30 minutes left’.

Kaaaaaa———!

That guy screamed and ran towards me. Elise nudged my back.

“Oh, hey, you-”

“Can you take some time?”

At the same time, it warms up the horsepower. A blue energy appeared next to her body.

It was machete.

“… … “I will guide you, so do it properly.”

“Do not die.”

If you divide the dealer tank, it has to be like this.

I first summoned Perion. My whole body became hot in an instant.

At that time, a guy suddenly appeared in front of me. The guy swung his fist at an abnormal speed.

Hwiik——! I thought I had dodged the oncoming attack, but it was a series of hits. The heavy straights rushed like crazy up and down and left and right.

“Fuck!”

While dodging some and blocking others, I looked back at Elise.

The way he mutters with his eyes closed seems like he’s trying to use some kind of magic trick, or rather, magic.

Qua——!

Suddenly, the guy stretched out his foot. A simple kick carried a gale. I quickly bent back, and the tip of his toe brushed the tip of my nose.

I took a big back step.

“… … “This is crazy.”

The speed is no joke. It’s even getting faster.

It’s overloaded.

Its body will be heated and accelerated like this, and as soon as the effect of the medicine runs out, it will explode.

Maybe 10-20 minutes.

That’s a lot of time to kill two people.

Crunch—he loosened his joints. Steam rose from his ears.

Kaaaa———!

It screamed again and rushed at me.

“A few minutes!”

I also had my entire body amplified by Perion, but his speed was like car racing.

It was hard to follow.

Kkeuddeuddeuk—!

The guy’s fist grazed my chest. I avoided about half of them. However, half of the ribs were broken.

“No, a few seconds.”

I muttered, clutching my chest. It seemed like Elise couldn’t hear it, but her magical power was slowly surging behind her.

Indeed, the waves are unique.

At this level, the power is certain.

Keuuuuuuuuuuuu——!

The guy must have recognized the threat before rushing towards Elise. I quickly walked over.

—Keek!

I got on top of the fallen guy. He lowered his fist and tried to pound her.

—Ugh… … !

He got up and crushed me purely by force.

“Oh shit, is it an elephant?”

I moved my lower body while being crushed. I wrapped my legs around his face and squeezed him.

Off——

Only then does the zombie exhale pain as if in pain.

But the very next moment, my eyes opened wide.

There was a sharp red pain in my side.

“Oh fuck… … .”

The guy had sunk his teeth into it. Those yellow gums were stained with my flesh, muscles, and blood.

Tsk-!

As soon as the guy spit out something, blood started pouring out and my body lost strength.

“… … “It’s done.”

Fortunately, Elise opened her eyes in time. She just spread her palms. The zombie’s body rose, engulfed in her magic. It was anchored at a height of 30 meters against her gravity.

“woah… … .”

I saw the scene while lying down.

It was a real magic.

It was like a fantasy.

Kwaa- Kwaa- Kwaaaa———!

A zombie struggling in the sky, waving its arms. Elise uses magic to prevent him from coming down.

Anyway, if he buys time, he will destroy himself.

Thus, the situation ends.

“Phew… … .”

I slowly relaxed. As if the world was moving away, all I could hear was my breathing and the sound of rain, and my vision was fading away.

* * *

… … I opened my eyes. I could see the sky. It was still Lekordak, but the rain had stopped and it soon became clear.

I tried to get up but stopped. There was severe pain in the abdomen. It wasn’t just that. Blood dripped down my back.

“You woke up quickly.”

“… … ?”

I looked back. There was a woman in front of my blurry eyes.

“Can you hear me?”

“uh… … .”

Vision gradually returns to focus and becomes clearer.

I see Elise soaked in the rain. Pieces of bandage clinging to her bloody hand, wire and scissors strewn on the floor, and even an emergency first aid kit with the lid open next to it.

I asked blankly.

“… … “Did you dream of becoming a doctor?”

Elise snorted.

“Do you know how many hospitals Petra has? “How can you?”

I looked at the upper body. The bite wound on his side has already been stitched up.

“… … “Well, you’re stupid.”

I hate to admit it, but I feel like I survived thanks to you.

“… … .”

I looked up at Elise in silence. Elise shot, pouting her lips.

“What are you looking at? “Disgusting.”

“… … Actually, I don’t appreciate it either. “If it weren’t for me, you would have died too, right?”

“joy.”

Elise snorted. she said, wiping her hands with saline solution.

“I actually thought about letting him die, too. “I hate you more than you think.”

“Is that so?”

“As you said, since you took the time, let’s say you saved each other. Then, since it’s Sam Sam, pretend it never happened. “We did not enter the containment area and did not meet anyone in it.”

Sam Sam.

I laughed and lay down on the floor again.

“okay. “Of course.”

My consciousness is still a little hazy.

I wonder if this is a dream, and I also wonder if I really have returned.

It’s all because of that woman.

Elise Petra.

I hate her. The same goes for her family, which is keen on becoming a member of parliament and lawmakers. To the point where she doesn’t want to accumulate even the smallest ‘connection’ of helping or receiving help.

Ironically, this is proof that I don’t hate them as much as Libra. Because if it is to take down Libra, I am willing to become their loyal dog. Because it will be like that.

In the first place, there is no such thing as original sin for Elise.

Of course, if I killed her and my mother came back to life, I would at least think about it.

But this world doesn’t work that way. He is her mother’s enemy, and killing her would only be an act of venting her anger.

Like today’s Noah Lucille.

… … so that.

“me too.”

I looked up at the clouds, then lowered my gaze and looked at Elise. Her narrowed platinum eyes stare at me with a hint of contempt.

“I hate you.”

I just barely hate you.

I just can’t have any good feelings towards you or that family, who were born to kill my mother.

“You and your damn family are all more than you think.”

A little bit of hate.

Elise Petra is standing at the point where she doesn’t want to force it in or take it out.

And that is by no means because of Elise herself.

“so? “Thank you.”

She sneered. As if malice like mine were not the slightest threat. Rather, it was as if he was grateful.

“Keep hating. “The more you do that, the more frustrated you will be.”

I get up and start walking. With unwavering strides, it moves away from me.

“… … .”

I looked at her back and closed my eyes.

Suddenly, an old voice penetrated my ears.

… … I have a favor to ask, friend.

Memories that are now gone.

Times that come like waves and exist only for me.

… … If you leave here.

I was a prisoner in Lecordak. He was not an ordinary prisoner.

The crime is treason against the state. The sentence is 20 years.

However, since I had no money for 20 years, I escaped from prison and succeeded.

The price was someone else’s life.

… … Break it down.

Yael.

He died for me. He sacrificed himself for my freedom.

… … The family that made me like this.

Of course, those moments are now just time gone, but I will not let them disappear.

The time that has disappeared defines me, I continue within it, and in the end, that is who I am.

Even though it may be a time abandoned by the world, I remember it.

… … Kill Petra.

Yael prayed for Petra’s downfall amidst the scattered pulse.

A story he told only before he died.

However, at that time, I could not understand the will.

… … Please protect Elise.

Because you left a will to me, who doesn’t even know your name, to protect Elise.

“I was wondering what this was talking about.”

Now I know your name, but at the time I didn’t know why.

“But what can I do?”

Honestly, I thought I said something wrong.

Words asking me to kill you, words asking me to protect you.

I never imagined that we would be blood relatives.

“Your brother… … .”

I rummaged through the inside pocket of my Endex uniform. A card was picked up. I lifted it high into the sky.

───!

In an instant, a lightning bolt struck the dry sky by chance.

The brightly spreading light illuminates the name written on the card.

[Elise Petra]

“… … “I hate it so much.”

* * *

“… … Are you really, really okay?”

“Oh, it’s okay. “Stop asking.”

Recordak’s visiting room. The power outage caused by the magic storm was restored in 20 minutes, and all seniors at Magic High School gathered safely except for one who had already died.

Sion Askal… … Before I knew it, he was back and was about to lie down on his desk.

“If you have any injuries-”

“I said there isn’t one.”

Elise waved her hand because it kept bothering her. Only then did the guards retreat.

“… … ha.”

It’s a tiring day.

All kinds of people had already arrived at the scene of the crime. Since one senior and one inmate were killed by an outside intruder, reporters will also flock.

Elise was about to sit down when she noticed someone.

Gerken was in the chair next to him. With something clutched in his hand.

“… … “What are you doing?”

“… … .”

Gerken glanced at her. Then she pushed some of her things into my arms.

“No, what do you mean?”

Without realizing it, thorns appeared in my voice. Gerken spoke quietly.

“treasure.”

treasure. Does this mean a task?

Elise gritted her teeth slightly and looked at Gerken.

“You just got it.”

“A bronze statue in the living space hallway. “It was underneath there.”

“… … lie. “I’ll believe you if you show me.”

Elise stretched out her hand. Gerken was very alert. He’s not really a hedgehog.

“it’s okay. Can’t you see I’m exhausted now? “Go over there and write a report.”

“Sure.”

When I pretend to give up and turn around again, Gerken also tries to stand up but quickly sits down again.

“really… … I’m so dumbfounded, I’m feeling dizzy, dizzy… … .”

With those last words, Elise fell down with a crash.

It was a faint.
