chapter 22
22 – Parasite Queen’s Tale
A student whose neatly braided blonde hair is shaking violently.
This is Lily Bright, a warrior who has just been discharged from the hospital due to an incident a week ago.
Boom! Thud!
One step, each step filled with anger.
I realized that she was angry just because of that,
Like the miracle of Moses, the group of students separated and a path was created.
‘This is why I hate nobles!’
She forgot that she was a noblewoman and cried out in her heart what she could not express.
In the last incident, the victims were four members of the S class, including Line and me.
And it was Ron, who was in class F.
However, the Academy only announced the number of people excluding Ron,
The incident was closed with a public apology.
This is clear discrimination.
Since Ron is a commoner and in class F, does that mean she doesn’t need to apologize?
Lily went to the academy and was thinking of blowing it all up, but
Ironically, it was Ron himself who stopped her.
-It’s okay. I received some compensation, and more than anything, I also incurred debt, so this is actually a benefit.
Since she said so herself, Lily had nothing to say.
Despite this, the complaints are still not resolved,
Even after she was discharged from the hospital, she wandered around the academy and expressed her anger.
But today was a little different.
Of course, the place she is heading to is Class F.
It was to meet none other than Ron.
‘Let’s meet and apologize. And you’re asking!’
That moment when I came to my senses and was drawn to a loud sound.
Ron, who was dealing with a gigantic upper-class demon, saved himself by flying to protect himself.
Ron was pierced by a huge paw reminiscent of a praying mantis.
Even now, when he remembers that day, his fists shake.
‘If I hadn’t gone, Ron wouldn’t have gotten hurt.’
It’s because of you.
Lily truly thinks so, She was sure that Ron was hurt because of her.
She closed her eyes tightly, then opened them wide and quickened her steps.
‘That must be the power I used back then.’
The day she became a warrior.
The ominous force used by Ron when he fell down the cliff.
Compared to back then, it was infinitely weaker, but it could not be denied that it was the same strength as back then.
So, that means Ron used that power again.
‘Was it intentional this time?’
The day after Ron first used that power.
She asked Ron who came to his senses, but he had no memory of her and asked what she was talking about.
So, will it be the same this time?
Or what if you have sensed your own power and are being eaten by it?
‘Either way, you must never use that power again!’
He soon shook off his distracting thoughts and rekindled his will once again.
Why did you choose this path?
It feels like I’m seeing you again, seeing how hard I worked as a warrior.
And finally, the door to Class F’s classroom opens.
“It was fun. “Playing with you.”
“Clover Ace, you just pretended it didn’t exist! “Then I have the Ace of Spades.”
“Huh? Lie. After all, you two did it, right? Yes?”
“What are you guys doing now?”
At the sight that unfolded in Class F, Lily ended up asking more questions than greetings.
Ron also noticed that Lily had arrived and greeted her by waving her hand.
“Lily, what are you doing here? “Are you feeling okay?”
“Well, it still hurts a bit, but it’s okay.”
Although she said so, it wasn’t at a stinging level.
She was in so much pain that she couldn’t even train.
Nevertheless, the reason why Lily left her hospital room and was discharged was a miracle that she had brought about solely because she wanted to meet Ron.
“More than that, my question is? “What are you doing now?”
“Hmm? One card.”
Ron said that and waved the trump card he was holding.
Still not understanding, Lily asked for a detailed explanation.
“Well, to put it simply, it’s a game where you get rid of all of your cards.”
“Is that fun?”
“More than you think.”
I am not usually interested in games or entertainment,
As Ron said that, Lily also became a little interested.
And Kana, the defeated cat who didn’t let that go, grabbed her hand and pleaded.
“It’s really fun! So, how about joining us?”
“Huh? “Huh?”
Lily is taken aback by the sudden invitation.
On the surface, she just wants to play together, but
Her inner feelings were completely opposite to her outer appearance.
She was Kana, who had already set a record of 7 consecutive wins.
An invitation to create a prey named Lily.
She didn’t want to lose anymore, so she fearlessly challenged the hero.
“Well, you don’t have to if you don’t want to. “After all, she needs someone to put her under her wing.”
“… What do you mean? “I want to play together as much as possible.”
Ron, who perfectly read my thoughts, said it was okay,
Lily sat down and asked for detailed rules.
‘A chance to play with Ron after a long time! ‘You can’t miss it!’
How long has it been since I last played with Ron?
It must have been quite a long time since I left Fuji Village three years ago.
Lily was not one to miss such a good opportunity.
After listening to her explanation of the rules, Lily checked her hand.
Kana is happy about the addition of people who helped her get through it.
I don’t know what Kerrion is thinking.
And Ron sighed briefly.
An unprecedented fight has just begun.
***
‘Well, I knew it would be like this.’
“Ah, ah….”
In the end, Kana set an overwhelming record of 10 consecutive losses.
Kana, who has a face like a sad cat, was floating around on the Internet.
She must be speechless after being attacked by Lily, whom she had ignored.
More than that, her own victory is more important now than Kana’s defeat.
I don’t know anything else, but Kerrion, I would hate to die if I lost to that bastard.
“hehehe, now just quietly admit defeat.”
“I am not defeated yet!”
“Ron, why are you so worked up when it’s only a game?”
When I reacted violently, Lily gave me a pitiful look.
Honestly, I think it’s foolish to get excited about games.
But for me now, this is not an ordinary game.
Because.
“Because I’m betting right now.”
“Huh? Bet?”
“Yes, the loser gives the winner what he wants. That’s my promise to Ron and me.”
Yes, this is why I risk my life for this game.
At first, it was a game played just for fun without any bets.
However, due to the continued winning streak, I ended up accepting Kerrion’s offer.
Not realizing that it was a trap from the beginning.
‘This guy was just pretending to be bad.’
Encourage them to let down their guard and show their skills at important moments.
I had no choice but to fall into a carefully planned trap.
“Hey, would you still ask for something strange?”
“hehehehe, what a great thing I’m hoping for.”
“So what will you ask for if you win?”
I asked directly to Kerrion, who was trying to trick me.
Then, after a moment of silence, Kerrion showed his golden eyes and spoke.
“The right to rub your butt for 5 minutes. That’s just it.”
“Oooh! “I will definitely win!”
I knew it would be like that!
This is why I don’t want to lose!
Lily also asked, ‘Butt?’ As if she hadn’t expected this, and couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
Giving your ass to a fagot like this?
Rather than suffer such humiliation, kill me!
(Oh my, I see something pretty good.)
‘Witch, are you really…? .’
A bewitching voice echoing in my head.
The crazy wizard I met in the last incident, his name is ‘Witch.’
From that day on, she often spoke to me telepathically, but to be honest, I didn’t want to deal with her in many ways.
Suddenly destroying the world,
A woman who is a model criminal who does not hide her madness.
And she is still feeling complicated feelings about the soft texture that remains in her hand.
(New prison guard. Don’t focus on me. Let’s move on quickly, right? Or do you not care?)
‘Lawbreakers talk a lot.’
After recalling the location, she did some research on the prisoners in the Abyss Prison.
As a result, in the abyss prison, even words like monsters are not enough,
She realized that there were only real exhaust monsters.
Prisoners’ sentences range from a minimum of 80 million years to life imprisonment.
I felt that the sentence was truly unusual, fitting for a monster.
‘The sin that destroyed the world.’
Witch’s crime is the crime of destroying a world.
Just looking at that, it is an honest fact that what was said then was not an exaggeration.
He was a monster among monsters who would destroy the world if he wanted to.
‘I’m so crazy to call such a monster.’
There is a saying, Admiral Ii,
It was no different from launching a nuclear bomb to get rid of cockroaches.
No matter how powerful the Parasite Queen was, compared to its location, it was just like an ant with its legs cut off.
It is literally like killing a chicken with a knife used to kill a cow.
(The prison guard is acting too harsh. Are you shaking a woman’s heart and pretending not to notice?)
Position to speak playfully.
But I could tell that her words were sincere.
That was because when I came to my senses, the alarm that appeared on my tablet proved it.
《The love level of the prisoner ‘Witch’ increases to level 1.》
《Acquire characteristic magical power (weakly).》
Characteristics.
With just one cheat key, you can instantly lower the level of difficulty.
I can’t believe the prisoner was given such characteristics because he liked them.
For me, this is truly ironic.
‘Of course, that doesn’t mean I have any intention of calling you again.’
(That’s right! Are you saying that my relationship with you was just a joke?)
I feel like they are all pretending to cry.
Even though I acquired the trait of being a fraud,
There is a reason why I vowed never to sing again.
The point is that every time a prisoner is called, the prisoner’s sentence decreases.
Even what the so-called senior did,
The sentence of 95 million years has now been reduced to 147 years.
In addition, a whopping 10 years evaporated just because I summoned it for 30 seconds.
‘What will happen if you let that b*tch go? ‘Oh, be scared.’
He is a criminal who once destroyed the world.
Is it difficult to do it once? Is it difficult to do it twice or three times?
So, for the sake of the world, I plan to never call a prisoner again.
No matter how random it is, it can start a riot like that b*tch.
If the sentence is reduced and the person is released, there will be no other disaster as bad as that.
‘Then there is only one way.’
Refining yourself so as not to rely on the prisoner’s power.
That’s just one thing.
Then, there are a few things I have thought about in advance.
Now that I have even acquired the characteristic magic power, my options have expanded greatly.
‘Well, first things first.’
I have already decided on the first thing to do.
A goal set after completing the battle with the Parasite Queen.
That’s right.
‘I’m going to spy on the female students exercising!’
(Prison guard? I don’t think that’s a good idea.)
First, let’s find a way to cut off that damn b*tch’s voice.
You can put off stealing until later.
