crackling

The sound of a burning bonfire echoed in the quiet cave. Lily, who was eating Kelney meat from Gilbert, was able to look back on her current humiliating state once her stomach was somewhat full.

Even before she started the comprehensive evaluation, she had a firm resolve to bring down Gilbert. This was because I had a strong desire to return the humiliation I had received to him, who gave me goosebumps just by being in the same space.

Lily, who had her fighting spirit burning as she glared at Gilbert even the moment she stepped onto the large-scale moving magic circle, was motivated even when she first came here. I felt like I wanted to go looking for Gilbert right away, but it was a foolish decision to go looking for Gilbert alone without a plan.

Lily stood on top of the magic circle, thinking that if she did as her proud sister had trained her, there would be no problem.

However, while exploring after moving to an uninhabited island, Lily soon realized that she had been too optimistic about her overall evaluation.

Lily, who had been exploring all day in a forest with poor visibility and unable to secure drinking water or food, quickly became exhausted. Although I was still physically fit, the tension of not knowing when and where something would pop up was mentally exhausting.

As the time continued to one hour, then two hours, and until the sun set, it became a physical burden.

The hunger and thirst caused by not being able to eat or drink anything pushed Lily, who grew up as the youngest daughter of a count, to her limits.

Lily, who had been walking unable to rest like that, was wandering through the darkened forest and was drawn to this place by a faint light in the distance and the smell of grilling meat.

The problem was that the person there was Gilbert, whom she hated most in the world. As I approached defenselessly, I came face to face with Gilbert, who was pointing his sword at me, and I ended up humiliating myself in front of him.

Gilbert, who sympathized with the situation, even gave them food and drinks.

To be honest, Lily had thought about tearing off her bracelet and abstaining from the race countless times.

She thought it would be better to give up on the comprehensive evaluation rather than receive sympathy from Gilbert, but she suppressed the whole situation and endured it because she wanted to be like the older sister she respected.

Although she hated Gilbert terribly, she also had a strong desire to follow in the footsteps of her older sister, who was outstanding in everything.

Meanwhile, Gilbert gathered his thoughts while watching Lily quietly eating meat with her head down. After securing both drinking water and food, his next plan was simple.

Joining Angelina and Hans as planned before the comprehensive evaluation.

To that end, his next goal was to go to the southern coast.

So tonight, I was planning to eat grilled Kelney leg and take a short break, but the situation was disrupted by the sudden appearance of Lily.

What should I do with this pin?

In the meantime, Gilbert had countless concerns about how to treat Lily.

At first, I tried to apologize haphazardly, but she was showing so much hostility that I gave up. A hasty apology only made the situation worse for her, who was already deeply emotional.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t decide whether it’s right to pretend not to know. I had already given up on having them as companions, but it wasn’t a good idea to lose Lily and Chuck, who would become excellent knights.

Her family was a famous count family in the empire, and her older sister in particular was already an elite among the elite, performing outstandingly on the front lines.

If Gilbert still has the same reckless personality as his younger brother, Lily will not be the only one whom Gilbert will lose. Perhaps Lily’s sister had already lost her mind because there was no way she didn’t know about the whole incident.

Wouldn’t it be fortunate if I didn’t draw my sword as soon as I met him?

Gilbert’s head was a bit confused.

After disposing of the fully eaten Kelney bones, Gilbert realized that he couldn’t put off this matter any longer as he saw Lily starting to glare at him. If there was no conclusion in some way, there was a high possibility that something would go wrong as the main story progressed.

In a situation where there was no way to return to the original world, the only thing Gilbert could try was to proceed with the main story, so it was necessary to continue as smoothly as possible.

Of course, it was unclear whether he would be able to return to the original world even if he progressed through the main story, but he had no choice.

“Let’s talk for a moment.”

“I have nothing to talk about with a guy like you.”

Lily sharpened her teeth at Gilbert to the point where one wondered if a wounded cat would be like this. Gilbert sighed at the attitude of not wanting to mix up the conversation, but he didn’t show it.

“I think it’s natural for you to be hostile toward me.”

Lily’s eyes became even more fierce. It was unusual for her to be kind and gentle to everyone, but she was an exception to Gilbert.

“I have no intention of apologizing now. Even if I did, you wouldn’t accept it.”

Gilbert had half given up on improving his relationship with Lily. I didn’t think it would be a good idea to stay away from her, but I had no choice. In that case, it might have been a better choice not to become okay on the surface but to become an outright hostile relationship. Of course, I really had no intention of doing that.

＂… You’re talking so shamelessly. Of course? “You don’t know how I feel.”

Lily couldn’t stand Gilbert’s words that crossed the line. She tried to get eliminated because she didn’t want to be indebted to him, but then realized how far behind she had gone.

Gilbert was more trash than she thought. The way he talked about the past was like a fool who had not changed at all from before.

Lily recalled the first time she met Gilbert in the parlor.

Eyes as red as bright red jewels and golden hair that sparkles in the sunlight streaming in through the window.

Lily, who was young, greeted him with a bright smile and a different excitement than usual.

At the time, she didn’t know what that other feeling was, but now that she was an adult, she knew very well what that feeling was. It was really unpleasant and disgusting, but when she was young, she fell in love with Gilbert at first sight when he came into the drawing room in the sunlight.

But Gilbert, who approached her with a twisted smile, cruelly trampled on her heart. Without hesitation, he massaged and commented on Lily’s breasts, which had developed well since childhood.

Unable to react properly to the sudden situation, she came to her senses late and pushed him away.

Lily, who had been nice until then, only thought of him as a slightly mischievous person.

However, Gilbert visited Lily and harassed her throughout her stay in the Lithuanian estate. Cleverly, they came to visit her without the eyes of the employees, and she, being immature, had to endure it all.

Every time Gilbert came to visit Lily, he repeatedly told her that he would caress her big breasts so that they would grow bigger, or that she should not return to the count’s house but become his own.

When Lily was growing tired of Gilbert’s obsession that wasn’t obsession, the incident happened.

Gilbert must have been annoyed by Lily’s patience and tried to force her into his room.

Lily was scared by his forceful appearance and forced herself to shake him off, and Gilbert, who was angry at him, shouted at Lily.

The saying that she is like a prostitute who exposes her breasts in a vulgar manner.

The countess’s daughter, who had grown up beautifully, had her tender heart ripped to pieces by the insulting words she heard for the first time in her life.

Lily never forgot for a moment what he said that day. This was something I even heard from someone I fell in love with at first sight. Lily, who had dismissed all of his actions as just mischief, woke up from her dream with those sharp words and ran straight to her father.

I couldn’t even remember what I said. All that remained was the sad memory of crying loudly.

Gilbert also knew that situation. That’s why I thought there was no way to solve it. What Gilbert did to Lily was a hurtful act that she will remember for the rest of her life.

“okay. I don’t know.”

“Really. “You casually say things that make me want to kill you.”

“I just had to get what I wanted at that time to relieve my senses. “The only failure was you.”

In that case, Lily had no choice but to become an opponent on whom she could pour out her full hatred. As long as Lily’s family or her older sister didn’t intervene, I could easily handle it. Instead, recruiting her colleagues would be a waste of time, but it was okay since she had already given up.

“I am not an object. Disgusting bastard.”

Lily resisted the urge to rush with superhuman patience.

“I’ll just go today. I feel like beating him up right now, but I think it’s worth dinner tonight. But not next time.”

“is it. i get it.”

Gilbert did not catch Lily leaving the cave with one last bloody look in his eyes. I thought he would attack right away, but Lily was a better person than Gilbert thought. He didn’t expect me to say it was dinner money.

‘Maybe he’s saying he doesn’t want to go into debt.’

Gilbert sighed, leaned against the cave wall, and closed his eyes. I may not be able to sleep deeply, but I had to get some rest.

***

First comprehensive evaluation.

End of the first day.
