I’m the Slit-Eyed Character at the Academy, but I’m not the Mastermind - Chapter 18



Only Noblemtl

Episode 18

Episode 18 Please be my friend (4)

Zero tilted his head.

“Ter-on-pa-yo?”

“Well, you are a commoner, but we will take good care of you. “You can see that we have secured the admission rankings, which are confidential information, but the power of Teronpa is beyond your imagination.”

Luna, who was listening to the conversation, bit her lip.

Not only dividing factions in the Sublime Academy, but also stealing confidential information?

Those so-called nobles don’t hesitate to do such dirty things.

I really couldn’t believe it.

“There are too many arrogant bastards like that. We need to educate them properly. That’s our duty. yes?”

“… … Hehe, I’ll think about it.”

“good. The situation is a bit awkward to talk about today. See you later. Ah, I recommend not hanging out with such vulgar things.”

With those words, Godner and the children left.

Luna stood up unsteadily. Before she knew it, Zero had arrived in front of her.

“Hehe, are you okay?”

It was only a moment of embarrassment.

Luna was lost in thought.

Zero.

An unidentified boy who seems to know the family’s secret.

An ordinary boy who is usually very playful.

But when fighting.

‘scared.’

As I face it like this, I feel the fear becoming more intense.

What is his purpose?

Why are you being kind to yourself?

Why are you so nice to me?

why.

‘It just keeps coming.’

He has no money, no fame, no family glory, no friends, and nothing else.

He’s a child with nothing but a dirty temper.

Still, Zero keeps coming. She couldn’t understand.

“Miss Luna, are you okay?”

“… … go away.”

“You’re bleeding. First of all, from the infirmary… … .”

“Don’t be nice to me! “After all, it’s because you want something too!”

what do you want.

why.

“Are you being nice to me?”

A voice bursting with emotion.

Zero’s answer to that could not have been simpler.

“Because we are friends.”

“… … friend? Don’t talk nonsense. “You also had a purpose in the beginning.”

During the battle with the invisible slime, Zero said he was testing his skills.

For ‘some purpose’.

So, saying that Zero was a friend was clearly bullshit.

“you’re right. It was like that at first. But not now.”

“… … ?”

“Miss Luna, I liked you as a person.”

“… … lie.”

“Well, if Miss Luna doesn’t think so, I can’t help it. But it’s true that she wants to be friendly.”

Zero laughed.

It’s a lie. It’s clearly a lie.

But why do I want to pretend to lose and hold his hand?

“… … Then, let’s at least reveal the secret. You know something about our family, right? If you’re a friend, you should tell me everything. “That’s right.”

“Don’t you know that we are like this because we are friends?”

“Explain in detail. “Don’t spin around.”

“Let’s say I tell you what I know. “Then what are you going to do?”

Of course, I have to go kill him right away.

“Given Miss Luna’s personality, she would immediately draw her sword and attack. So do you think your revenge will be successful? It will end without anyone being killed. Even if I kill them, they will still be low-level bastards.”

“… … .”

“Where is that? “You will be recorded as a crazy bitch who suddenly attacked someone, and the Lester family will be humiliated for the rest of your life.”

Luna, who had hit the nail on the head, could not say anything.

Yes, I need help.

Since all he has is his temper, he really needs the help of someone like Zero.

But I can’t believe it.

I want to believe in Zero, but I can’t.

‘What should I do?’

When you can’t do this or that.

Zero said, raising his index finger as if a good idea had occurred to him.

“I understand Miss Luna’s anxiety. “Then how about doing it like this?”

“?”

“If you help me every time I ask for it, I will give you the right to ask questions.”

“… … right?”

“yes. 1 question per help. Never think of it as a loss. From what I see, it’s much more beneficial to both Luna.”

It’s a question. Certainly, under those conditions, you will be able to know your enemy with just one question.

But does Zero really tell the truth?

I looked into his eyes and checked his expression.

Damn it, I can’t see because my eyes are squinted.

That’s a foul, really.

“… … good. If you have anything to ask for, please let me know anytime. “I’ll listen to anything.”

“Hehe, such remarks are dangerous in many ways. “I am also a man.”

slap!

Luna slapped Zero on the forehead.

He seems like a pervert. He really can’t let down his guard even for a moment.

“Miss Luna, why are you hitting me?”

“Just not knowing that is enough reason to get beaten, right? Anyway, I get it. “Then let’s do it.”

“yes? Why should we do that… … .”

“What are you asking when you know?”

Luna passed by Zero.

The deal is 1 question per help.

Luna was rather comfortable with this kind of relationship.

Well, the conditions must also come first.

“Please take care of me in the future, Zero.”

These words were spoken after becoming distant from Zero.

He wouldn’t have heard it.

For the first time since I was 10 years old.

Luna has a friend.

* * *

[You have satisfied the quest conditions.]

[Make friends (2/3).]

“Hehe, it looks like it worked well.”

I rubbed my forehead. This is because Luna’s hands were much hotter than they looked.

I replayed the situation a little while ago in my head.

‘I was lucky. If they didn’t recognize me… … .’

Information that it is unofficially ranked 3rd in the entrance exam.

If it weren’t for that, I would have ended up in a situation no different from Luna a moment ago.

Then my concept would have been shattered and my actions would have been greatly restricted.

[Open Eyes] If you threaten with the skill, the situation may change, but that’s a 50/50 chance.

I didn’t want to take that kind of gamble.

‘I’ve only passed this over once or twice. Of course, what I need most right now is… … .’

It is a combat skill.

With [Predation], we have laid the foundation for becoming stronger.

However, there is no force to attack bosses and named monsters.

Although Luna is there… … .

‘A certain amount of force is necessary to keep deceiving Luna.’

The more mysterious my existence is, the longer I can hold onto it.

However, the new hidden piece can only be obtained around midterm exams.

‘How on earth are we talking about this?’

It was then. A parrot fell from the sky and landed on my shoulder.

“devil! danger! devil! Save me! Help me!”

The parrot shouted at the top of its voice. My ears feel like they’re going to explode.

But they didn’t kick him out. Because I know the story related to this child.

“Hehe, I’ll make you comfortable in no time. “Please be patient and wait a little longer.”

I lost my only friend in a near accident.

This is a parrot that was a friend of a ‘hero’ that no one knows about.

But there was nothing I could do now.

Just wait until episode 3 starts.

“friend! danger! Help me!”

“Friend… … I need that too. I wish something would fall from the sky somewhere… … .”

“friend! good night! you! friend!”

A parrot’s cry.

At the same time, a blue window appeared before my eyes.

[You have satisfied the quest conditions.]

[Make friends (3/3).]

[You have cleared Main Quest #2, ‘Make a Friend!’]

[As a reward, 100 exp, 10 gold, and [Subspace S] are given.]

“… … Was it acceptable even if you weren’t a person?”

It’s like a cow retreating and catching a mouse.

There was a condition that ‘you must sincerely think of them as friends’, but it seems that it was resolved more easily.

This parrot desperately needs help right now.

“friend! Help me! friend! “Save me!”

“Hehe, thank you for helping me with the quest… … That’s hard. “I don’t mind doing it, but I will clean it up for you.”

The [Cleaning] skill was activated targeting the parrot.

Because this is the only thing I can do for now.

however.

“hmm?”

A change occurred in the parrot’s body.

Just in case, I used the [Cleaning] skill a couple more times and clearly checked the results.

It is a hidden piece that can only be cleared in Episode 3, and is one of the three hidden pieces of the Japanese Chronicles.

There is a way to get it.

“So this magic circle… … .”

Morning lecture started today as well.

But I couldn’t concentrate at all.

‘Is it possible? No, is it still going to be difficult?’

Possibilities seen in experiments using parrots.

However, it is only a possibility and cannot be certain.

But, if that were possible… … .

“hey! What are you doing? “Aren’t you going to eat?”

“ah… … “I have to go.”

“What are you doing in a daze for the past few days?”

Luna grumbled. But I can’t help it.

While I was thinking about it, it was already Friday.

It means that the moment of choice has arrived.

‘Because academy students can only go out on weekends.’

This hidden piece begins from the village square.

The duration is at least 1 week or more.

However, at the critical moment, if you say, ‘Ta-da~ I found out that the possibility was 0%,’ you will explode into a tantrum.

“hey! “Let’s go eat something?”

“Yes~ Yes. “I understand, Miss Luna.”

I put the textbook in my arms.

Luna saw that and looked at me with strange eyes.

Because usually no one puts a book in their arms.

But I wasn’t uncomfortable at all.

[Subspace: S]

-You can store all objects except living things.

When the user dies, all stored items are lost.

The second main quest to make three friends.

As a clear reward, I received 10 gold, 1 level up, and [Subspace].

To summarize, you can think of the inventory space as infinite.

‘It’s one of the skills that old people consider an essential skill, but you can get it as a quest reward.’

I was lucky.

As it is, it is a skill that can only be obtained after Episode 4.

Please note that the third main quest has not been released yet.

‘Did I beat the second main quest quickly?’

Well, it was definitely like that.

If it were anyone else, it would have been a difficult quest that would have taken at least a month.

In this world, the perception of narrow-eyed people is the worst.

But I made three friends in just one day.

‘Hehe, as expected, I’m amazing.’

If I had been able to access the stag community, I would have been proud.

It was really disappointing.

“How about it? Are you splitting the thread this time? “I’m really crazy.”

“Hehe, isn’t the rice so delicious?”

A curry topped with a mountain of chicken.

The visuals and taste were so great that my concerns disappeared ‘about halfway’.

It doesn’t disappear completely, but about halfway.

This means that the concerns are deep. So much so that even chicken curry can’t cover it.

About half way through the meal.

Luna opened her mouth.

“hey.”

“Hehe, please speak.”

“If you have any concerns, just tell them. “Don’t suffer alone like a dog.”

I guess I put a lot of thought into it. I heard all these things from Luna.

Luna’s eyes are somewhat serious. Only then was I able to make up my mind.

Okay, what are you doing worrying about? first.

Just give it a try and see. Like a man.

“Miss Luna.”

He spoke with serious eyes.

To fuck like a man(?).
