I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy

Side Story – Sometimes DLC Is Good # 5

Side Story – Sometimes DLC is good # 5

It was always winter north of Ludens.

If you don’t wear it tightly, it feels like the blood flowing through your veins is freezing.

“It’s cold.”

I headed towards the snowy mountain north of Ludens, shivering from the cold that was stronger than I expected.

It was originally a dangerous place filled with undead from the beginning, but after Ludens’ play ended, the dead became an area where it was difficult to find.

So, has the North become a safe place now?

No, it wasn’t like that either.

Instead, it was full of white rabbits.

This tribe was called the “Snow Rabbit” And caused trouble to adventurers and travelers.

It was incredibly fast and extremely ferocious.

━Kiiiiit… !

━Kikiit… !

Many rabbits rushed towards me.

They attacked with a type of “Body headbutt,” In which they sprinted at high speeds using their long hind legs and struck with their own bodies.

This was simple yet brutal.

It feels like a white volleyball is flying at full speed?

Pot, Papa Pot-.

I had to move forward with both hands, protecting my face, stomach, and chest as much as possible.

Fortunately, my physical strength and durability were excellent.

Deep, deep-.

However, the snow falling from half of my body every time I walked was a bit scary.

Since no one clears the snow, snow piles up, snow falls on top of it and piles up, and snow falls and piles on top of it, causing situations like this.

“… “For some reason, it seems like it’s harder here than when I went to the Pantheon.”

As I mumbled my thoughts to myself, I saw a cave in the distance under the heavy snow.

Is it an ice cave?

“It’s good.”

I think it would be nice to just get there somehow.

Paaat-!

At that time, a strong snowstorm hit me.

It was not snow that fell from the sky, but snow that rose from the ground.

Snow rising from the ground.

Even if I said it, it was a bit of a strange word, but the snow actually exploded from the ground and scattered all over the world.

To be precise, it would be the reaction of something huge that was covered in snow revealing its body.

━Grrrr…

It was an extremely large wolf.

Looking at it as big as a bus, it was not an ordinary animal.

“What is this?”

uuu.

As I was feeling tense while watching the wolf, the sea jewel “Seven Colors of Coral” That I had in my pocket started to shine.

In that dazzling light, a white wolf as big as a bus opened its mouth wide and cried out.

Pot, pot, pot-!

The little wolves hiding in the snow suddenly surrounded me.

“Could it be that this coral attracts monsters and animals?”

It was just a guess.

However, it was very difficult because most of my guesses were correct.

It was nice to get the coral easily with the help of Siren and Crabnoi, but I never thought I would have to suffer in the snowy mountains of the north because of that coral.

“I have no choice but to fight.”

I put my hand on the hilt of the sword at my waist.

It’s been a while since I wielded a sword, but I guess I can chase away a pack of wolves like this.

Cracking-.

However, the sword did not come out of the scabbard.

I looked at this to see what on earth was going on, but wasn’t the sword frozen solid in its sheath?

It was completely frozen tuna!

“Write…”

“It looks difficult.”

Wow-!

At that time, a dazzling light spread across the world.

It was bright like the suddenly rising sun, and warm like the sun.

━Krrrr!

━Kuhung-!

Thanks to this, the wolves covered their eyes with their front legs and suffered.

It must feel like being hit by a flashbang.

Sereung-.

Of course, it was fortunate for me that I was able to gently pull out the sword that had melted in the heat of the flash.

“Winter cutting!”

Pot-.

I lightly drew the sword horizontally.

A sword after a long time.

Wow-.

The surrounding air split and the snow stopped.

━Grrrr…

━Kkeongkeong… !

The wolves surrounding them puffed out their fur at this sudden change in situation and soon ran away, showing their tails.

They probably decided that fighting me was dangerous.

“They are clever wolves.”

“He’s the owner of this area. That big wolf is the pack leader. Since this is an area where the wizards of the northern snow mountain started not managing it, factions arose here and there.”

Zek-.

The first thing I saw was leather clothing made of white rabbit fur.

Soon, a face whiter than fur was revealed under the hood, but when I looked closely, my face was red, probably because of the cold, and my eyebrows were full of snow.

“Big Victoria.”

“I told you not to call me that.”

“Pintorika.”

“…”

Victorica, who was a little older, closed her mouth.

Then she finally burst out laughing.

“Victor, the hero of the world, looks like a frozen mouse. So what happened here? “Isn’t it too cold and dread a place for someone as happy as you to come?”

The big Victorica didn’t seem to know why I was here.

The story that Flora gave Viktor a mission!—Had spread in the city, but the rumor didn’t seem to have reached the remote areas of the snowy mountains.

* * *

“My sister put a condition on it?”

Outside in a blizzard.

And inside the cozy cave, as if it was far away from the outside.

Veteran Victorica’s eyes sparkled with interest after hearing my story.

Crash, crackle-.

He stabbed the bonfire burning in front of him with his staff, making the flames stronger, and opened her lips.

“Okay, whatever. If you want to marry her sister, you have to do that. By the way. “Victor, you’ve been living well so far, so why all of a sudden?”

“Why?”

What question is this?

When I asked, Victorica said.

“To be honest, the story of hero Viktor is already complete, right? “I married the most beautiful princesses in the world, had children, and lived happily ever after.”

“That’s right.”

What I could call my life was always full of deficiencies.

At some point, I was already complete.

Just as Victorica said, the princess and the prince got married and lived happily ever after. It would be enough to end with this.

But suddenly the prince said, “Actually, I like witches too. “You have to seduce her witch too.” Then, you set aside the princess and her daughters and start going to see her witch.

Everyone who has read the fairy tale will be embarrassed.

─Hey, why is this like this?

Yes.

I knew what Victorica was trying to say.

There are a lot of games like that.

Part 1, well completed.

However, there are many cases where the sequel, Part 2 or DLC, distorts the story in many ways.

In some ways, I could look like that now.

Why am I doing this?

I also had many questions asked of me over the course of many nights.

A life where everything is already perfect.

If I were to be more greedy, I would have ended up losing more than I could gain.

Even if you reach out to get something else, the happiness you were holding in your hand will just slip away and you may miss it all.

I know too.

But after asking these questions, I finally came up with an answer and acted accordingly.

“Because I don’t want it to end.”

“… “You don’t want it to end?”

Victorica, who was taking off her shoes and drying her snow-soaked socks, looked at me and frowned.

It was as if he had heard a strange sound.

I still didn’t have much to say.

So, I didn’t have the confidence to explain my feelings to Victorica well.

“It may sound stupid, but. That is, if I stay happy for a long time. I feel like it will all end there. Our universe suddenly turns off.”

“The universe is going out?”

Victorica’s impression of her became more serious.

Then, looking around her, she spoke carefully.

“Is this, by any chance, like a scenario of destruction seen through the eyes of the future? The death game is starting again, right? The universe is going out. “It’s dangerous.”

“No, it’s not like that. It was just a metaphor. I like it every day. Comfortable. But that made me feel a little disappointed. Ah, is this really the end of my story?”

“The guy who wanted to live comfortably more than anyone else. Now that you’ve become more comfortable, you’re saying you miss the old, tense days when you lived a long time ago. “It’s stupid.”

Victorica sold me a little.

Yes, that was correct.

It’s a stupid story.

“But sometimes, isn’t it better for the story to continue, even if it’s awkward, rather than a perfect ending… ? . “Whether it’s a game, a book, or a movie, it’s nice to feel like you’re alive when sequels keep coming out.”

I liked movies with pirates.

Pirates of the Caribbean.

There were 5 episodes, but many people said that the 4th episode was a poor work, so after the 5th episode, the production itself was in disarray and they didn’t know what would happen.

I also watched parts 4 and 5 while swearing… , I felt a little disappointed when I thought that Part 6 or Part 7 would not come out.

So, does the pirate ‘Sparrow’s’ adventure end here? I feel like that.

I felt that way too.

“I couldn’t stay still because I thought someone might be waiting for my adventure. So, regardless of whether it was a waste of money or not, I decided to move on.”

Did you explain it well?

No, Victorica still looked like she couldn’t understand.

“That’s funny.”

The guy put his dry socks back on his white feet and spoke bluntly.

“Who is waiting for an adventure like yours? I’m completely overly self-conscious. He became a successful man. Are you like that too? “All the women in the world like me—same thing.”

“… I guess so.”

When I heard it that way, it seemed a bit too self-conscious.

But since we had already come this far, it was a shame to give up.

And now my decision was not so light that I gave up on a small sale.

“I want to get the eternal snow from this snowy mountain. “Victoria, I’m not going to ask you to help me.”

“It’s an ice cap. I’m talking about icicles that grow on the highest mountain peaks thanks to the energy of the snowy mountains. There is only one icicle in the world. But what should I do? “I’m aiming for that too.”

Write-.

Does veteran Victorica become my competitor?

The guy thought about it with a playful feeling.

“What should I do? If I get the Permanent Cap like this, you won’t be able to solve your sister’s quest. So then this is the end of your DLC and my sister will be an old maid for the rest of her life?”
