Even though the floor was made of dark wood, it was not ordinary water, but rather a red liquid that was once wet and then dried, so it was impossible not to see the mark.

And at the same time, my saintly clothes, which were supposed to be pure white, were stained a lot of red.

If you are asked to look for the white part, it is very rare to find it.

And as Kailon faced that, his expression became more and more stern, and I was expecting that kind of expression from him, so I just kept my mouth shut and waited for his reaction.

I stayed still for a while and calmly listened to Kailon’s voice as he continued.

“… What is this?”

In the midst of confusion and bewilderment, he asked me as if he had no idea what to say and wanted to understand the situation properly.

Unlike before, it was not the voice of someone who had just woken up, but the voice of someone who had come to their senses, which made me feel scared for no reason, so my body started shaking.

I had to give an answer, but after facing this situation, I was afraid to say anything.

What can I say? Should I say it feels like I’m being scolded for doing something wrong?

So without realizing it, I was so discouraged that I was muttering my mouth and looking for an excuse.

Originally, since something like this had happened, I was thinking of just explaining the situation and receiving a black nun’s uniform. If it’s black, no matter how much blood I spill on my neck, the color won’t be noticeable.

Kailon must have been frustrated that I didn’t say anything when he was thinking so much about it, so he held his pounding head and narrowed his eyes.

“What is this? Is this all blooming? Like the floor, the splashes on the bed, your clothes… Ha.”

The question was asked as if interrogating him, but at the end, he just let out a sigh without asking any more, as if he could tell just by looking at the white clothes that were dyed bright red.

When he saw me like that for no reason, I had nothing to say, so I just made a shy expression.

He was enjoying it, but it felt a bit wrong for me to continue to tease him, and I didn’t want to break the mood, so I deliberately called him at a time when everyone seemed to be sleeping, but he didn’t think about my consideration and raised his voice like he was angry, so I got annoyed for no reason.

So, as he sighed and looked around my room, I answered in a low voice so that others could not hear.

“… Well, I was a little quiet for fear of disturbing you. Ah, anyway, so… Cleanliness magic… ”

“Is that the problem now? No, I told you to say it.”

I looked embarrassed and tried to just ignore it, but he got angry at me and repeated what he had said, as if this was not an issue that could be easily resolved.

In the meantime, he came closer to me, stumbling over his words as if he was angry again.

My startled body tried to step back, but there wasn’t much space behind me, so I took half a step back, and as a result, the distance became a little closer.

“When did this happen, did I harm myself while I was having sex with Linda? Well, of course, if you do that while you’re at it, I might be okay with it, but Linda might feel bad about it. But can’t you just say it? Honestly, I don’t think there’s a single kid here who would say, “If you end up like this, I’ll just close my eyes and have sex.””

It was something I didn’t know if he was angry, trying to scold me, or worried about me.

It could be everything, or it could not be everything. Unsure of anything else, I groaned as I listened to the voice in a daze.

“… … .”

It was an issue I was just trying to brush off, but since all my clothes were dyed red like this, they must have thought it was serious, so I ended up not being able to back out easily.

Since it wasn’t an itch that went away by scratching, there was nothing I could do about it, so what should I do?

Kylon’s eyes, looking at me with a huff, were not the eyes of an angry person.

It seemed like his eyes were only trying to scold me, so I avoided his gaze and lowered my head.

“… Still, you have to do that to get to the ending, so as long as you listen to Kylon’s voice, you’ll be fine. So I thought it would be better to just finish everything and sing at dawn.”

This was true. To be honest, no matter how much I didn’t become the main character of a shit game, and even though a kid from the same world got that body and was able to play rice cake to his heart’s content, I was not jealous of it, even though I was jealous of it.

So, I had no intention of interfering with his enjoyment, and if I knew that it was the path to the ending, there was no reason to stop him.

If you didn’t want to live in this world with this body, you wouldn’t do such a thing.

As I was trying to figure out how to get out of this situation by making excuses that weren’t excuses, Kailon must have heard me rolling my head, so he grabbed my arm and pulled me hard.

My tired body was helplessly caught in his hand and pulled, and when I, embarrassed, made eye contact with him, he looked into my eyes, frowned, and opened his mouth.

“Your eyes are bloodshot. I don’t think I could sleep.”

When I heard that, I felt like I had heard everything and it felt like my breathing had stopped.

But even then, he didn’t stop talking.

“Look at this, I got dark circles because I couldn’t sleep. Have you been scratching all night? No, there’s no way a scratch would bleed this much… Did you buy a knife?”

It didn’t take much time for him to arrive at the correct answer as he looked into my eyes, lowered his gaze to look at my neck, and then searched for the source of the blood.

No, it would have been better to say that I noticed it too late because it was so absurd that I would have noticed it right away.

“… … .”

But just because I got it right doesn’t mean I got it right.

It was because if I said something like that here, the knife could be taken away for no reason.

Even when I cut my finger at a camping trip, he took the knife back with a straight face.

However, it showed me that if the knife was left in my hand all night, this might happen. So there was no way the knife was in my hand anymore, so I just kept my mouth shut and lowered my head to avoid eye contact.

Although he wasn’t short, he was definitely shorter compared to Kailon, so his advantage was that he could quickly hide his expression when he lowered his head.

Kailon, who had been quiet for a while, spoke to me quietly.

“Where is the knife? Give it to me quickly. There won’t be pockets in a saint’s clothes.”

He let go of the hand he was holding and looked around.

Then, I walked towards the bag that was put aside and appeared to be fine in this windy space.

In this narrow private room, unless an individual was hiding something, there was nothing other than the bed or that table, so it was easy for Kailon to find the knife.

“I’ll take it out for you.”

So I just stopped him and tried to take it out for him, but he reached for the bag first and rummaged through it without even listening to me.

And when he looked inside, he looked at it blankly and was silent.

The movement disappeared and he stared at it for a while before opening his mouth.

“… What is this? This, huh… Who told you to do this, this?”

What was in his hand was not a knife but a potion.

A potion made with none other than my own blood.

A red liquid that floats without hardening even when exposed to oxygen. The smell was also so fishy that it was difficult to think of it as blood.

Perhaps that is why it was clear that it would be difficult for someone who did not know the manufacturing method to infer that it was blood.

However, Kailon’s expression, knowing the truth, hardened and then became grim, and he was interrogating me.

“Who told you to do this? ”

“Yeah, but.”

Even amidst such interrogation, I also had something to say.

The only time I didn’t say anything was when I kept my mouth shut and cut myself with a knife I secretly bought, but I also had something to say about potions.

So I opened my mouth.

“I can’t even use my abilities as a saint properly, so I want to do something like this… So that was it. That’s why I’m a burden to myself.”

I am unable to fight. It was possible to fight now that I was outside the game’s system, but it was obvious that it would be impossible because my body was not trained right now.

So, the best I could do was recovery, but I couldn’t figure out whether it was a matter of faith or just because I didn’t know how to use it, so I tried to use this expedient method.

Then, even if I can’t heal you right away, I can give you a potion and avoid that situation.

“Okay. First of all, I knew because I already did it… Don’t do something like this next time. Knives must be confiscated.”

He said that and took the knife in his hand.

After that, I used cleansing magic on my body and the inn, and everything became completely clean as if it had never happened.

The red saint’s clothes turned white again, the blood-stained floor regained its original color, and the blood-splattered sheets once again showed off their white color.

“Sword, is there such a thing as a black nun’s uniform?”

“… There is no such thing. I can guess why you’re looking for black clothes, but if only you didn’t hurt yourself… under. No, no, this just means I can stay by your side, right?”

He cut off my question with a single sharp sigh and then looked at me, frowning as if he realized something.

Since I didn’t know what he was thinking, I just kept my mouth shut and looked away out of fear and worry about what he might say.

“… … .”

After being silent for so long, he broke the silence and opened his mouth.

“Okay, well. For now, okay. Let’s think about it again later.”

“Uh, okay. Sorry for waking you up early… ”

“If you are sorry, what am I? You must be tired, so sleep quickly.”

“Thank you.”

“… … .”

Even though Kylon couldn’t come to a conclusion right away, I felt relieved by the answer and sighed with relief.

To be honest, since I dream of reaching the ending and escaping quickly, I didn’t want him to slow down because of me.

As much as he tries to be considerate of me in the future,

I also planned to be considerate of him.

Since you won’t die, there will be many ways to help.

As I thought about that, at the end of my gaze, there was a potion taken out of the bag.
