I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes - I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes chapter 89

Apple

From start to finish, it was a crazy meeting.

‘Two wishes granted by the Red Horseman.’

It wasn’t something I was hoping for.

Anyway, it’s a good thing, isn’t it?

I didn’t mean to be humble or to say ‘it’s okay’.

Originally, Koreans say that refusing three or three times is a virtue, but I am now an imperial citizen.

If it’s Scarlett’s personality there, when I flatly refused, ‘Oh, is that so. Then quit,’ because I thought I was really going to quit.

Since I had nothing to do anyway, I started thinking about how to use the wish ticket she gave me.

‘The first wish is, increase the wish unlimitedly!’

… right i will die

Because there was nothing to do.

No, to be precise, there were too many things that came to mind.

I put this concern aside for a while.

After that, I tried to continue the worries I was having before the girls came in.

‘Even in the original game, Leo Epsylt’s personality was the same as it is now. What if I don’t know because it didn’t appear in the game? Since the game story forces him to capture the demon lord, Leo acted normally in the original game according to the player’s control. If Leo’s behavior is what it is now without a set story and player control, then why is the goddess… ‘

smart.

It hasn’t been long since Scarlett and Veronica left.

The sound of knocking again shattered my thoughts.

“Come on in.”

Whoever it was, but this time it was a healer.

What he brought was good news.

“Patient… ”

“Can I be discharged?”

“… Yes, it is.”

Before he could say anything, I asked urgently.

As a result, the answer from the healer’s mouth was affirmative.

“Aww!”

Although the healer gave me various warnings.

To be honest, I didn’t really pay close attention.

It’s not that it’s not important.

Because I had already heard it so many times that my ears nailed it.

“Ah, now that I see the clothes… ”

You can’t go out in a patient uniform.

Even so, he went out wearing a blood-soaked training evaluation suit.

“Wait a minute. I will tell the nurse to contact the Academy.”

“Thank you.”

The healer left, and I got up.

Rotate your arms a few turns and extend your legs.

Immediately after waking up, I was in so much pain that I started sweating because my energy was low.

Now, except for a little stiff body, there is no major pain, and especially the arms are moving normally.

How long did you wait in the hospital room like that?

smart.

“Come on in.”

This time it was Felice.

In plain clothes, she was holding my luggage.

“Oh, Felice.”

“Louis, the professor told me to bring you this… ”

“thank you.”

Felice carefully held out her suitcase.

I took the bag from her and opened it.

“Um, Felice… ?”

“Why but, Louis?”

she asks urgently.

“No, I want you to go out for a while to change your clothes.”

“Oh, I got it!”

For some reason, his face was red.

Felice leaves the room.

After a while, after changing into the clothes I brought.

I left the hospital room with a bag in one hand, with a piece of beads and a practice evaluation suit in the suitcase.

Felice was waiting in front of the door.

She looks at me and gets restless.

“Louis, I’ll support you.”

“… Am I okay?”

“Still, you don’t know… ”

“It is more inconvenient to be supported.”

“That’s right.”

Felice, who doesn’t know what to do.

“Well, then, let me carry the bag, too.”

I think I can see her heart.

I nodded.

Felice accepts my bag with a happy face.

“The professor told me to take you to the hotel.”

“Yeah, let’s go.”

We got out of the hospital.

The weather was sunny, and the intense sunlight unique to the southern region fell.

The road from the hospital to the hotel was longer than expected.

And, the atmosphere was really awkward.

The scenery was beautiful, and the people passing by were all happy.

We just walked quietly without saying anything.

In particular, it was obvious that Felice wanted to say something to me.

It bothered me, so I couldn’t even look around comfortably.

“… Louie.”

“yes?”

Finally, Felice opened his mouth.

After opening his mouth first, he hesitated for a while again.

“I should have said this a long time ago, but even though it’s late, I want to tell you even now. Are you okay… ?”

“okay.”

I nodded.

Felice says

“Thank you, Louie. Thank you for protecting our territory, despite what I said.”

“… Not at all. I didn’t do it for you, and I didn’t really succeed in the end.”

Hearing my words, a bitter smile forms on Felice’s face.

“Yes, yes… you… ”

It is a face that seems to have a lot of thoughts.

Again, silence falls.

It was me who spoke first this time.

“Thank you too.”

“what… ?”

“Why are you there then? Gargoyles.”

“Oh, no.”

Obviously, Felice threw herself at me without any hesitation.

Was it because of guilt or thanks?

Or would you have acted the same if you didn’t have those feelings?

I wanted to ask, but I didn’t.

Keep your mouth shut and walk a little further.

“… Now that I think about it, I think I have a lot to be thankful for.”

I did not respond, and Felice continued talking to herself.

“But, there must be something I need to say before that.”

We were suddenly entering an alley with few people.

Felice stopped walking, and I naturally stopped following her.

What are you trying to do?

In fact, it was roughly expected.

She bows her head deeply towards me and says:

“I’m sorry, Louis.”

Neither she nor I dared to say what the apology was for.

Even though I didn’t, I knew it all too well.

“… let’s go.”

Me and she started walking again.

Did you think it was your duty or the right thing to explain everything to me?

As she walked forward, Felice began to tell the truth in a surprisingly calm voice.

“It happened because of me. I have touched the gargoyle’s nest.”

“We touched it. Since it has already come out as a request, even if it wasn’t for us, someone would have touched it in the end.”

“Yes, I guess. But in that situation, you would be the only one who could guess that the gargoyles would attack our territory.”

“… … ”

To be precise, it’s not speculation, it’s just that I knew the story of the original game.

“You tried to prevent that situation, but I rather cursed you for that.”

yes, it was

“Even though I heard your explanation, I didn’t even warn the manor. This, no matter who sees it, is not my fault.”

She let out a self-deprecating laugh.

“So, I was scared. I was afraid that people would find out the truth. I was afraid of how Young Ji-min, who had lost family and friends, would see me when they found out the truth. So he lied.”

“But, did you find out in the end?”

My tone was sarcastic, no matter how I heard it.

Even I was surprised when I spit it out.

I guess I was more upset with Felice than I thought.

“okay… this would be correct paying the price… ”

Felice’s voice mixed with water.

Was it my mistake to say it quietly?

“My mother told me to give your credit to me. I hated it, but I couldn’t refuse. I should have confessed my lies even then, but I was afraid to do so.”

she hides her emotions

“Because I was afraid, the lies I inadvertently told grew bigger and bigger, and I felt like I was getting out of control. As a result, only you were harmed again.”

“There is nothing to say about damage. Because I didn’t do it because I wanted something.”

“still… Doesn’t it make sense that I take your ball?”

Suddenly, a hotel that seemed like a destination began to appear.

“I think it’s a good thing that things happened like this. Because I think that if I were alone, I would not have had the courage to finally reveal the truth.”

She stops again and looks back at me.

“Louis, I feel sorry for this party. If you wish, I will never appear before you again.”

Felice was obviously smiling.

His face looked sadder than ever.

Perhaps that was the reason why I was living alone as if I had died alone after entering sophomore year.

“Of course, if there is anything else you want, I will gladly do it. Whatever it is, even though I have nothing left now… ”

Felice tries to get her strength up and smile.

In my eyes, it was just a face holding back tears.

“… anything, anything is good I will give my all for you.”

In response to her promises, I replied.

“I do not need.”

“… Yes, it will.”

He added, watching the tears finally fall.

“There is no need to show up in front of me again, or to make such an effort.”

“Uh, uh… ?”

Leaving behind Felice’s face stained with surprise.

I entered the hotel front door.
