episode_0027

As I was waiting after finishing the boring first entrance exam, Sarah walked out with a lot of dust on her clothes, probably because she had rolled on the floor a lot.

It looked like a puppy that had been rolling around on the dirt floor and was now returning home. It’s a mess, but he seems to be in a good mood.

“Oh! Lady!”

Sarah, who was grinning, looked in my direction and came running towards me with sparkling eyes. It looks like Sarah passed the first test.

“How was the test?”

“I won!”

“Okay, good job.”

It’s a subject he talks about only in front of other people, but when he talks about it in front of me, he becomes strangely simple. As I was sighing internally, Sarah looked up at me and her eyes continued to sparkle.

Ah, I’m asking you to praise me for this. how will we do it… … . Yes, it is the owner’s job to accept a child. He smiled and patted Sarah’s head.

“So, who was the opponent?”

“It was a girl with silver hair!”

this. I guess not… … . no. Let’s not deny it. The heroine is the only person in this world with silver hair.

So, is this the result of my efforts to enroll Sera as a student rather than a maid?

“Really? What kind of silver-haired girl was this? Can you tell me how you fought?”

“Um, so. I stood on the test table holding an armoring sword that I could swing with one hand! The opponent took only one tower shield! And when he tried to chant while blocking all attacks with the Arming Sword with his shield, I quickly turned around and electrocuted him! Then I fell down on the floor and the examiner said I won! I did a good job!”

for a moment. Tower shield… … . I think Tower Shield had high elemental defense and physical defense values, and there was a setting for something like that… … . Is that really why you chose Tower Shield? Are you going to hide behind it and chant?

no… … . No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think anyone would choose such an idiotic strategy unless they were an idiot among idiots who don’t know that this is reality and only think it’s a game.

Are you a possessor like me? No, no. Probably not. Now another possessed person appears? Has the game that has tormented me so much found another victim? No, then why did they possess the main character and make me possess this villainess?

why?

“Why are you doing that?”

“Huh? Ah, no. I have something to think about for a moment. Then Sarah, could you wait down there for a moment? I need to go inside and check something.”

“Ah, yes! Bye! I’ll be nice and wait here!”

“Okay, thank you Sarah.”

I smiled and went back into the testing room and sat in the audience seat. Trueno Academy’s test selection method is unique. This is because it is not the end with one defeat, but rather the defeated people are gathered separately and the losers are revived.

Yes, there is still a chance. The female protagonist, who may be a possessor, must have realized that this is not a game but reality after being defeated by Sera, so she will use a different strategy than before.

While thinking about that, on the other hand, I started to plan again in case the female protagonist did not enter the academy.

My head was pounding because the already complicated plan had become twice as complicated, but I had to come up with one or two plans to use as a sub, so I bit my lip and rolled my head.

[The reprisal battle begins now!]

I opened my eyes at the sound and looked inside the exam room. Where is it? Where is it? I rolled my eyes here and there, looking for silver hair.

I thought it would be difficult to find because there were so many people who fell, but since silver hair is not a color that usually stands out, I was able to find it surprisingly quickly.

My opponent was the daughter of the male writer I had competed with earlier. The heroine seemed to have learned something from her previous defeat, and this time she picked up a light round shield and an armoring sword.

“Okay… … . Looks like you learned something.”

But it’s clumsy. Although the shield and arming sword are counters to the rapier, they are nothing more than shackles if not handled properly.

Still, what is worth looking forward to is that the main character of the original used magic, not martial arts. And his talent for magic is quite outstanding.

‘Please win. ‘I need you to make my plan work properly.’

He covered his mouth with a fan and narrowed his eyes as he watched the heroine moving hard.

I lightly blocked the young lady’s thrust with the round shield and swung my sword once, but there was no way I could be hit by a sword of the same class as a child swinging a tree branch.

The distance widened again, and the heroine’s mouth could be seen gaping, as if she were chanting.

‘As expected, the main focus is magic… … .’

When the young lady realized that the opponent was not a swordsman but a wizard, she attacked with wide eyes. Quickly and concisely. Stab and cut.

Of course, due to the limitations of the rapier, I had to take a position in an appropriate place first and retreat again without being able to break through the round shield that blocked the sword path.

A standoff that continues for a while. Feeling that my mouth was dry, I swallowed dry saliva and closed my eyes.

“Phew… … .”

Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind as to whether I should kill the female protagonist of this episode.

The thought that the other person was just a victim dragged into the game like me ran through my head.

My conscience, as small as dust, was crying out to save at least someone from the same world.

Let alone killing NPCs in the game, isn’t that a person? A real person from the same world as me. Killing such a person is a bad thing.

“… … under. Now, stop pretending to be nice.”

ignored. They cruelly trampled on any conscience that raised its head and broke its neck so that it could never raise its head again.

During dozens of regressions, I felt deeply that this was not just a game world, but reality.

npc? under. That’s ridiculous. They are also living, breathing people with emotions.

Let someone live because they are from the same neighborhood as me, and kill someone because they are a character from the game? It’s hypocrisy. It is the ultimate evil. It’s worse than what I’m doing now.

And, it’s a bad thing.

“I’ve come too far to care about that.”

The heroine, with deep murderous intent, pushed the young lady down with her shield and thrust a large block of ice in front of the young lady’s face. I looked at Seria and stood up.

I don’t care at all whether you are possessed or reincarnated. I have no intention of writing it. No matter what you are or who you are. You must die for my goal. I think it’s my fault that it caught my eye.

After confirming that the examiner had declared Seria’s victory, I came out of the testing room.

.

.

.

Seria didn’t have to fail the first test, so it’s okay… … .

I’m getting really hungry, so I guess I’ll go eat something. I must be stressed out, and my head is in a mess, so something sweet would be nice.

With that in mind, I headed to a small cafe inside the academy. It was a cafe I visited once a week while attending the academy, so I was able to come here without getting confused.

Tinkle tinkle――

“Welcome――Ah. You are a test taker.”

What welcomed me was the pleasant scent of coffee and a middle-aged man standing at the counter cleaning a cup.

“Yes, I came here because it smelled pleasant. Are you preparing for business?”

“This cafe doesn’t open yet because it starts at night… … . It wouldn’t be a bad thing to be visible to prospective students of this academy.”

The cafe owner smiled and pointed to the seat in front of him, and I sat there with a grin.

“Is there any food you would like to eat?”

“Mmm. I’m a little tired today. I want to eat something sweet.”

“It’s sweet… … . Please wait a moment.”

The owner said that and went inside the store. I looked at that for a moment and then looked out the window.

really. I still have a long way to go. I never thought I would be able to control my emotions like that if I met a possessed person other than me. Well, it was my first experience meeting a possessed person other than myself, so I couldn’t help it.

Let’s calm down. You’ve already learned from so many experiences that there’s no benefit in getting excited.

It’s nice to meet a possessed person. Jealousy is jealousy. They are my emotions, so I have to control them within myself. The only things that need to be put out there are words and actions for the purpose of planning. My feelings are of no help to the plan. Come to your senses.

“Pancakes and Darjeeling. Thank you for your hard work on your exam today, and I will give you a free car to encourage you to do your best tomorrow.”

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I can pass the test tomorrow.”

I smiled and ate pancakes drizzled with sweet honey. In the past, I was reluctant to eat these because I felt like I was accepting that I was a woman. It was a stupid idea. To think like that over something to eat.

It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you have a firm pillar of gender, such as “I am a man” or “I am a woman.”

If you have a firm belief that you are a man, you can still be a man even if you wear a skirt, and even if your real body turns into a woman, it’s okay. It’s not a child, what are you thinking?

For now, let’s just eat the pancakes in front of us.

As we leisurely spent time eating pancakes and drinking tea, dusk began to fall on the streets. Have you been too relaxed? I have to go back soon. I put down my fork and got up.

“It was a good meal.”

“I look forward to seeing you again next time.”

He smiled brightly and walked out of the cafe slowly. Oh, now that I think about it, Sarah was parked outside. I forgot.

As I leisurely walked near the test site, I saw Sarah standing upright in the spot I pointed to, without moving even a single step.

Although it looked like she was going to cry at any moment, she maintained a blank expression, which was quite unusual, so people around her glanced at her. Sarah just looked ahead and didn’t care at all.

“I’m feeling a little scared at this point.”

If I throw it away later, won’t you commit suicide on the spot? Well, that’s not bad either.

He chuckled and slowly approached Sarah. Sarah, who flinched and trembled, turned to me and had tears in her eyes with an expressionless expression. Soon, he came towards me with his face distorted.

“Lady… … .”

“I’m sorry, Sarah. Am I a little late?”

“Whaaaa!!”

Sarah burst into tears in my arms.

“Well, let’s continue here… … . I thought the lady would come… … . I kept waiting… … !!”

“Yes, yes. Sarah is so kind. Listen well. I’ll give you a reward when I get back to the villa.”

“Ugh, wow!!”

It must be a little disappointing not to see Sarah cry like this after abandoning her.

Well, let’s take a closer look now. Because I might not be able to see you later.

With that in mind, I wiped away Sarah’s tears with a handkerchief and enjoyed seeing Sarah’s distorted, crying face.
