Episode 19

Episode 19. The Clown, the Hero, and the Parrot (1)

Did he notice my manly eyes?

Luna met my gaze and answered.

“why.”

“Can I ask you a favor?”

“okay. “I don’t know what it is, but do it.”

“… … “You don’t even hear what it is?”

“You made a deal.”

A deal that gives you the right to ask Luna questions if you do me a favor.

Luna was saying that.

“There are hundreds of things I want to ask you. So you have to listen to whatever it is. As you said, it’s urgent for me. and… … .”

“And?”

“that… … Chi, chin… … .”

friend?

“Because we’re friends… … .”

A small sound like the flapping of a fly’s wings.

But it was clearly audible.

‘Luna… … You’ve grown a lot now.’

You call me your friend.

Is this how a father feels as he watches his daughter grow?

I felt like tears were about to flow.

Well, that’s just how I feel.

“Anyway, if you have any concerns, tell them! “Well, let’s go first!”

Luna jumped up and threw the tray into the food bowl.

Then he left as if running away.

I shouted at the back of Luna’s head.

“Miss Luna! “See you tomorrow morning at 9am in front of the school gate!”

There was no answer.

I just raised my middle finger in the same running position.

‘You mean you will definitely come out tomorrow.’

Absolutely perfect interpretation!

At this level, he could be considered a doctor of Luna Studies.

I was lost in thought with a piece of chicken in my mouth.

‘But is it really okay?’

Since we have decided to do it, we will proceed.

NPCs to meet, locations to meet, and the order in which the conversation should continue.

I remember this perfectly, so it will go without a problem.

The problem now is.

‘The final battle.’

The battle with the “Devil’s Piece” is the problem.

Offensive power is offensive power, but the most important thing is whether it is supported by physical strength.

This is because it is a gimmick that requires multiple people to take turns sharing the damage.

‘Due to problems with stamina, clearing it only after Episode 3 was a common strategy for the old characters.’

This means that the highest record of the dead characters is at the beginning of Episode 3.

There was no one like me who took on the challenge from Episode 1, or even from the first week after the semester started.

This means that if I succeed, I will be the first and the best.

I feel motivated. but.

‘Right now, the only thing I have available is Luna.’

Party of 2… … No, it’s practically a one-person party.

Because I am an incompetent person whose stats are only 21.

You will need at least two more people to attack it without difficulty.

Or maybe just a very strong person.

‘Is there a high level passing by somewhere…? … huh?’

Rodelin came into my field of vision.

Penalty points were being awarded to freshmen who got into fights.

[Lv.43]

There it was, Goreb.

Luna and Rodelin.

With these two, their attack power is overflowing. Because they are both characters that use their family’s secret skills.

To conquer “The Devil’s Piece,” physical strength is more important than attack power, but what I’m trying to do is not an ordinary strategy.

‘In theory, a strategy that doesn’t require any stamina. I’ll try that.’

Okay, I decided. I have to fuck Rodelin first too.

After finishing my plate, I turned to her.

Rodelin is a member of party 1, but are you getting too close with her?

What do you know? There is a Hidden Piece from the Chronicles of Gastronomy hanging.

furthermore.

‘Luna has already been captured. If you hesitate, the game story will proceed as is.’

He wandered and died after losing one of his arms. That is Luna’s future.

I didn’t know that I would be fighting with Teronpa from the first day of school.

Luna can never overcome it on her own.

So I need to build up my strength.

I slowly approached Rodelin, who was organizing the demerit point notebook.

“Hehe, you look busy today too.”

“hmm? Zero soldier? “I guess you reflected on what happened last time, right?”

Because it happened last time?

Now that I think about it, something like that happened.

He pushed Rodelin against the wall and urged his friend… … No, it was a very healthy invitation to a friend.

“I was just eager to make friends. As you know, I don’t have any friends… … .”

“Hmm! Was it something like that? However, penalty points cannot be dismissed as something that never happened. “Let’s make it up to the store.”

As expected, Rodelin was resolute. But it’s okay.

If I am a doctor in Luna Studies, then Rodelin Studies is a master’s degree or higher.

“I came here because I had something to tell you. Do you have any time tomorrow morning?”

“It’s morning… … . “Other than patrolling, I don’t have any special duties.”

“Then how about we go to the square together and help people keep order?”

“Maintain order?”

“Yes, when I heard about it, they said an event would be held. Criminals will probably run amok, too. “As academy students, we step in and help maintain order.”

Molester, fighting, pickpocketing, cutting in line, etc.

Since the event is a major event for criminals, there will be a lot of petty crimes.

The village square is right in front of the academy, so it wouldn’t be surprising if students came forward.

We promote the academy, keep people safe, and keep children smiling.

“I guess you could say it kills three birds with one stone.”

Rodelin thought for a moment and nodded sharply.

“The intention is good. However, let’s leave out the first reason. It’s a security activity for publicity. “I can’t admit it.”

“okay. By any chance, do you like children?”

“hmm! I like it very much. Because it is like the future of the empire. “The more the better.”

Actually, I already knew this.

When working on this hidden piece, Rodelin would always play with the children.

Coming from a military family, with a stiff tone of voice and behavior that makes too much of a distinction between public and private matters.

The sight of Rodelin happily playing with children was a refreshing shock to those who played the game.

“Hehehe, the more the better… … “It went very well.”

“?”

“Then, I’ll see you tomorrow morning at 9:00 in front of the school gate.”

He left, leaving behind Rodelin, who had a question mark above her head.

Everything went according to plan.

* * *

Late at night.

Just before going to bed, Rodelin checked tomorrow’s routine.

“Tomorrow’s schedule is… … “Patrol early in the morning, and security work with Zero County.”

Rodelin thought his actions were aimed at gaining the store.

Of course, that doesn’t mean they won’t give you the store.

‘If you perform your security duties properly, it is a great thing.’

All you have to do is fulfill your duties and make a positive impact.

If the event was completed without anyone getting hurt or suffering damage, then one store was a cheap price to pay.

This level of flexibility… … No, it was Rodelin, whom I learned last year.

It was when I changed into my pajamas and let down my hair in front of the mirror.

“Well, now that I think about it… … .”

What was Zero’s meaningful smile?

Although it was a smiling image, it was definitely a smile with something to it.

Rodelin recalled what happened last time.

Hit the wall. Senior and junior. men and women.

And let’s tie that in with what happened today… … .

This can’t be… … .

“date!?”

A date I’ve never had in my life. It’s also a weekend date.

Rodelin could not help but be embarrassed, and her normal thinking circuit was broken.

‘Well, then I couldn’t have asked you if you liked children… … !’

Did he turn around and ask if he would give birth to his child?

“What did I answer?”

Memories came back quickly. Because Rodelin was a bright child.

-It can be said that the more the better.

“… … .”

Yes, that’s how I answered. The more the better.

From Rodelin’s point of view, this was no different from declaring herself a prostitute.

Coupled with Zero’s meaningful smile, Rodelin couldn’t hold on any longer.

Pow!

My face turned bright red with the sound of something exploding.

A face I can never see without opening my eyes.

Rodelin ran away from the mirror and crawled into bed.

Please pray that tomorrow never comes.

* * *

The next morning, between the school gate and the square.

I was faced with a very difficult situation.

“Tell me what happened yesterday.”

“… … yes?”

“They asked me if I liked children. “It would be good to properly explain what that means.”

“???”

Asking if you like children means asking if you like children.

What more explanation is needed here?

Call!

Even the eyes are harsh. Even with both arms crossed and arms tightly folded.

We are on full alert. Are we going to start a war?

“I only did it because I had a job to do with the kids. She had a call for help. If you don’t like children, you’re in trouble… … .”

“… … “Really?”

“Okay, sure.”

“Then why are we alone? “It looks like there are quite a lot of people. Don’t we need more manpower?”

Rodelin, it’s because I don’t have any friends.

You will never know how difficult it is to make friends with an appearance like this.

But there was no need to make this excuse.

Because the savior appeared from behind.

“hmm? what. Why is the Vice President here… … .”

“ah… … You last time… … .”

Rodelin could not finish her sentence properly.

He was thinking deeply about something, and his face suddenly turned bright red.

“ah… … Ahhh! Well, it was something like that. I’m sorry. Mr. Zero. “I must have misunderstood.”

“What kind of misunderstanding did you have… … .”

“Oh, come on! “Didn’t you say there was a place you promised?”

Rodelin hesitated and left as if running away.

really.

She was a strange woman.

* * *

“So, where was help requested?”

“Just go a little further.”

Unlike games, you move with your eyes, so it’s not easy.

But there is nothing to worry about. The person I’m looking for is a very unique man.

‘clown.’

Not only does it look good, but it is a character that drives children, so you will be able to find it quickly.

I wonder if I wandered around the square for about 10 minutes.

I was finally able to find the clown.

He was distributing balloons to children wearing a clown-like makeup.

You have to work under that clown for a day.

Then you will receive a skill, and that is the starting condition for the hidden piece.

‘Well, I wasn’t actually asked for help, but I guess it will work out somehow.’

For some reason, Rodelin is keeping her distance, so you may be able to fool her.

A group of children who received balloons approached the clown as soon as they left.

He grabbed my shoulders with a surprised look on his face.

“Lu, Luthers!? “Is that you?”

… … Why is he like this again?

It was my first time hearing such a line, but what surprised me more was the clown’s reaction.

‘Because this clown is always smiling.’

An NPC who used to be called ‘the mask of madness’ among users.

During conversations, during performances, and even while resting.

Keep smiling. That’s why it was given the name ‘mask’.

Because he was laughing so hard that I thought he was wearing a smiling mask.

But then he looked surprised… … No, he looks at me with a desperate expression.

I’ve played the game thousands of times, but I’ve never seen a reaction like that before.

This means that a hidden piece that I don’t know about has been activated.

‘They say you mistook me for a kid named Luthus… … .’

Fortunately, I knew information about the character Luthus.

I recalled all the information related to him in my head.

Starting with the Clown, Hidden Piece, Hero, Devil’s Piece, Luthus, and Parrot.

Their connection with the clown was just a guess that even the deceased could not reveal until the end.

When I put in the last puzzle I had just found, a perfect picture was created.
