Episode 108
“Andrew!!!”
Before Andrew could even hit the ground, Star appeared and cut the monster’s body in half.
‘Where did the monster come from? This isn’t even a place where they overlap, and there was no sign of it at all!’
“Andrew! Wake up! Don’t fall asleep! I’ll heal you now, now!”
Eileen came to her senses in confusion. This was not the time to be doing this.
“First, clothes!”
Eileen drew out the vitality of the plants to the max. After confirming Andrew’s consciousness, Lakerta tore off his outer garment, revealing a wound that split from his shoulder blade to his pelvic bone. At first glance, it looked serious, so Lakerta began to use his healing power with trembling hands.
“Wake up. Don’t fall asleep.”
Aileen, who had sent a messenger to Cordelia through Star, wiped her face with an anxious expression. She had seen many casualties while fighting, but it was not easy to get used to seeing someone so close injured.
Andrew, who had been holding back a groan, carefully opened his mouth with a pale face.
“Okay, ugh. It’s okay.”
“There’s no way it’s okay! Why did you jump in?”
Lakerta, who had been speaking in anger out of frustration, bit his lips tightly. It was his friend who had been badly injured while trying to save him. He didn’t know what to say at a time like this.
‘Ah, they’re both crying.’
Andrew looked up at his two sobbing friends. They had such similar expressions that it made him laugh, but his back hurt too much to laugh.
‘It’s really okay.’
Before he found a lord who would recognize his worth, he met his friends first. Andrew, who was more afraid of losing his friends than of monsters, did not have a single regret despite the burning pain.
‘It’s fortunate that Lakerta wasn’t hurt.’
As relief set in, drowsiness set in. A tired drowsiness swept over him, making Lakerta’s cries for him not to fall asleep seem distant.
When I closed my eyes, all I saw was darkness.

Aer got up from his seat. The stack of documents that Gabil had handed him were scattered in front of him.
“Simultaneous terrorist attacks?”
“Yes. There are more than one or two families where incidents have occurred.”
Morning. Simultaneous terrorist attacks occurred in dozens of territories in the southwestern region. The problem was that these were not just simple terrorist attacks, but terror attacks using demons.
‘It’s strange that monsters suddenly appear in places that aren’t overlapping.’
Aer lifted the paper as if he was going to tear it. The places where the monsters appeared had one thing in common. There was a small glass bottle that resembled a perfume bottle lying around.
“The first inspection at the Magic Tower was completed, and they said it was something special that contained both magic and magical power. It seems that small monsters, magic, and magical power were sealed inside at once, and then exploded to temporarily create an environment where monsters can survive.”
Aer raised his head as if suppressing his anger as he heard those words.
It wasn’t difficult to eliminate a monster that was small enough to be sealed in a small bottle, but that was only for people with combat skills, such as knights or magicians. The fact that most of the victims in this incident were civilians was proof of this.
“It seems that it occurred mainly in areas where there were relatively few disasters.”
“Yes, most of the areas near the lord’s residence were taken care of by knights, but the farm area.”
Aer grabbed his throbbing head. The plan to create a catastrophe with Aatrox was blocked before it even started, and the card that Ajar pulled out was more serious than expected.
“It must be an attempt to instill in the people of the empire the fear that monsters might appear at any time and any place.”
The moment the belief that the punitive force would definitely stop them turned into an unpredictable fear of the unknown, the magical energy that would burst out was something that could never be left alone.
“I must go to the palace.”
A solution was needed.

“Wow, I thought I was going to die.”
Andrew opened his eyes in the guest room and blinked. His back still hurt, but it wasn’t unbearable. He gave up on moving and just blinked his eyes, and now he felt alive.
‘It seems like you were aware of taking me to my room.’
Even though he was in a hurry, he was lying down in a luxurious VIP room far from the scene of the crime, as if he was saving face. Andrew clicked his tongue lightly and thought he was thirsty when someone opened the door and came in and shouted.
“Andrew, you!”
When Lakerta saw Andrew, he threw a tray of wet towels at him.
“Are you okay?!”
“Yeah, my back is fine, but my cheek hurts for some reason.”
The person who had slapped Andrew on the cheek to keep him from losing consciousness slowly averted his eyes.
“If you get seriously injured, your whole body hurts.”

“No, more than that, the cheeks.”
“That’s just how it is.”
Lakerta poured a glass of water, avoiding eye contact until the end, and handed the glass to Andrew.
“The wound has healed well. Professor Aaron has taken another look at it, so there’s no need to worry.”
“Don’t worry.”
“you!”
Lakerta, who had a frown on his face as if something was pressing up against him, sat down on the chair next to the bed, unable to continue speaking.
“… …Thank you for saving me.”
“huh.”
“Don’t ever do that again.”
Andrew didn’t answer that. Just as Lakerta was about to raise her voice again, Eileen and Cordelia opened the door and came in.
“Andrew, you’re awake!”
Eileen sighed in relief and approached him.
“I was really worried. I’m so glad we were together.”
“Yeah, thanks for saving me. I didn’t see you fall properly, but you managed to kill the monster in one breath, right? That’s amazing, Eileen.”
Eileen, who felt embarrassed for no reason, rubbed the tip of her nose. It wasn’t long ago that she had been upset when she heard from Aer that similar incidents had occurred simultaneously, but she was still cheered up when she saw Andrew wake up safely.
‘I was horrified to hear that Ajar’s methods had changed. I’m glad Andrew was with us.’
My heart sank at the thought that if the timing hadn’t been right, I might have lost Andrew or Lakerta.
‘What kind of monster is this growth type?’
Eileen tried hard to suppress the urge to go to the World Tree and ask questions, examining Andrew. He looked fine, except for the faint handprint on his cheek.
“If I had been faster, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt.”
Eileen let out a word mixed with resentment without realizing it. She thought she was now quite familiar with the battlefield, but it seemed that her immaturity was revealed through Andrew’s wounds.
Andrew looked at Eileen, who was a little dispirited, and smiled faintly.
“You travel all over the country every day to eliminate such monsters. I know it’s hard. That’s why I think you’re even more impressive.”
He turned his gaze and looked at Lakerta for a moment before continuing.
“It hurt when I fell, but I wasn’t scared. Because I saw you guys, the ones I trusted the most.”
He paused for a moment and then smiled playfully.
“If you’re sorry, consider me as having hurt you too and don’t get hurt anymore?”
At those words, Lakerta rushed at Andrew again. Eileen, who was watching the two people chattering and making a lot of noise from a step behind, smiled.
‘Yes, it’s worth fighting to keep this appearance.’
It was a noisy scene, but as I looked at it, my agitated heart became surprisingly calm.
When Cordelia went out first and told Professor Aaron that Andrew had woken up, several students from the special class who heard the news came to the infirmary together. They were the ones who had a crush on him because of their experience playing in the water at Verotanis.
Andrew smiled in the hospital room crowded with people asking after his well-being.
The ugly duckling of Roswin Street was no longer lonely.

“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.”
Gray Walter eventually abandoned the special unit on the third mission. It was not uncommon for people to drop out midway due to the increased risk of actual combat, but it was painful to lose contact with Marquis Kamar and escape without any results.
“Damn it. Why should I risk my life for these useless people?”
His father’s disappointed gaze never left his mind.
“Everyone is making a fuss only about me! Everyone else lives like this.”
He bit his fingernails with an anxious look on his face.
Talented Neumann, talented Lucian, talented Felix, talented… …
“If only I had that damn talent! I could have stayed there!”
When Neumann was there, he could endure it by sucking up his self-esteem, but now that the breakwater was gone, the inferiority complex he felt was too thick.
To endure the suffocation, he used the excuse of recuperating and went to a villa in the outskirts. He felt a little relieved when he could be rough on his servants in a place where there were no people who ignored him.
It was late one night that someone came to see Gray, who had been rotting away so quietly.
“huh?”
A man with his mouth barely visible through his hat pulled down low spoke to him with a bitter smile.
“Do you need anything special?”
