chapter 28
28. As reason
28. As reason
Anis was embarrassed.
Until just now, I was surrounded by almost half of Class D.
Anyone can choose the chin of the person they like, but they dare to nominate themselves and come to them and want to form a duo.
But it wasn’t that I didn’t like it.
I just want to know what Yooseong is thinking.
“It’s embarrassing Miss Anise, but please hold my hand.”
Then a whispered voice.
“Ah. Please take good care of me.”
Anis, who came to his senses, grabbed his hand and shook it.
In that way, a combination was formed.
“What are you two doing?”
“Sorry… ….”
Listening to the mutterings of the other cadets, Anis felt a strange sense of superiority.
The man everyone wanted as a partner chose him.
Then he couldn’t even think of coming any closer and kept licking his lips from behind.
It was a situation where I couldn’t help but feel good.
“Let’s do well together.”
“Yes, mister. However… ….”
Anise asked what she was curious about.
“Why did you choose me? You could have just done it with someone else. There were so many people who appealed to us to team up.”
Yoosung replied as if he was saying something obvious.
“I’m best friends with Ms. Anise here, so why bother with someone else? I’m not very friendly with those people.”
It is quite believable to speak quietly next to the ear as if whispering.
“Or did Miss Anise get close to anyone other than me here?”
“Oh, no. No.”
“Then there is only this. It’s okay to brag about people who don’t have friends. Isn’t it?”
Anise nodded twice.
“That’s right, mister.”
But I didn’t agree with that.
Because not dating and not dating were obviously different things.
She felt a bit deceived, but the fact that she thought of Yooseong as her best friend was reassuring and good for her.
“Besides, Miss Anise is the one who understands me best here.”
“Yes? What do you understand?”
“Immortate. I can’t even properly kill the monsters in the illusion, and even if I form a duo, there’s probably only Miss Anis who doesn’t think it’s strange.”
“Ah…… Come to think of it. Why is that? Even if it’s a real monster, it doesn’t matter if you kill the monster in the illusion because it’s not life.”
“It’s not because I want to kill some and save others. I’m just using the same swordsmanship all the time. You might be able to kill with an ordinary sword, but if you’re going to change it to your liking depending on the situation, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to even call it a conviction?”
I don’t understand it well, but I see it, Anise nodded.
I wondered what it was.
Now you don’t have to worry about finding a mate.
“Well, it’s not necessarily the ones I mentioned above, but I like it because it’s aniseed and cute.”
“…… !”
Yooseong’s careless words pierced Anis’s heart, who was just dazed.
‘Ear, how cute. Do you like it? Why do you keep saying that Are you really interested in me?’
[ Would you believe it if I said it because I wanted to be with Miss Anise? ]
Why does that word suddenly come to mind?
‘That can’t be… It can’t be.’
However, he struggled to deny it.
It’s clear that he just said that he’s cute and likes him in the sense of a younger brother.
What do you say to yourself who has not yet reached adulthood?
Though I thought so, I couldn’t hide my blushing face.
[ Relationship Reward ]
! Anise
Anise begins to see you as the opposite s*x little by little.
Lv. 1 Can pick up 2 gifts
‘Mmm…… As a member of the opposite s*x, is it?’
Yuseong opened the Relations Compensation window thinking there might be a gift for some reason.
In fact, in a way, it was natural for this to happen.
Isn’t there no eternal friend between a man and a woman?
If you raise your affinity to the end, it will inevitably develop into love.
In the game, there was not a love story in particular, but when the affinity level rose above a certain level, the dialogue of the opposite s*x character changed from the nuance, showing that he liked it.
Moreover, Yuseong has excellent ‘probability’ in terms of setting.
Even if you cover it with a hat and sunglasses, you can’t hide everything.
‘Yes, I made a lot of noise while knowing it. To get a reward.’
Anis is a good woman.
Now, to a 16-year-old, if you call her a nice girl, she’ll definitely be uncomfortable with it, but you have to keep in mind that she’s a game character.
First of all, isn’t the worldview different?
A world where getting married right after you turn 15 and having and raising a child is not so awkward.
Here, it was enough to be called the right age for marriage.
Also, she is a beautiful girl who stands out with restrained femininity no matter who sees it.
Still, a company called a large company in the game world brought in an S-level illustrator at the peak of popularity to select a full-price game.
It looks like an illustrator has put a lot of energy into the illustration, but how can it not be pretty?
However, her appearance on set is at the level of pretty among rural girls, so people around her, including herself, do not treat her as a beauty.
She will definitely become much prettier when she grows up.
As if hypnotized, she must be thinking things like ‘I’m not very pretty’ without realizing that she is quite a beauty herself.
Like Yulia, who thinks she has a repulsive appearance when, on the outside, she’s just an attractive woman with her face covered.
She was indeed a woman that Yooseong deserved.
However, until everything was over, she had no intention of giving deep feelings to any character.
Even if her heart went, she shouldn’t have expressed it.
If you become particularly close with one person, it would be nice to get a high-level gift right away, but from that moment on, you have to be careful.
As long as you whisper the word love even once, it becomes difficult to extract and eat gifts from other female characters.
She may look like she’s having a blast playing around with girls, but to Yooseong, clearing the true ending was more important than anything else.
She’s not going to die when she’s having fun.
Rather, it is the male characters who can become closer.
No matter how much you raise your affinity, it’s like bloody brothers who can risk their lives for each other. It won’t develop into love or anything.
I don’t know if she’ll do well, but Yoosung flirts with her unconsciously, and she herself had to become a super insensitive love comedy cartoon character.
It seemed clear to her that even if it wasn’t her romantic side, it was the way she could freely extract the rewards of her relationship to the fullest.
“We will be starting practice soon, so hurry up and pick your teammates!”
The movement of the cadets became busy at Kasha’s screams.
It really wasn’t long before practice started.
“You must board with your teammates, starting from the left. That way, we can meet right away in the virtual realm.”
Board the room connectors that are gathered on one side of the power.
The illusion wizards who were resting on the bench got up and developed a virtual area for the cadets.
Right after that, a 15-segment magic screen appeared in front of Kasha.
During practice, not class, one of the instructors in charge monitors the movements of the cadets and gives advice.
‘Meteor… ….’
The place where her eyes lingered the longest was definitely the screen with meteor and anise.
–
My vision has returned and I can look around.
The created virtual area was in a dense forest.
‘Maybe the background was the monster forest.’
Monster Forest.
Located on the back side of the Empire, an area where humans are still not allowed to leave footprints.
In Wizardry Caliber’s worldview, the territories that humans have conquered are larger than the territories that have not been conquered.
It is said that the empire brought the whole world to its knees, but the territory currently occupied by humans was only about 20% of the size of the continent.
The monster’s forest is one of the places that occupies a fairly large area among the 80% that have not been conquered.
At the beginning, only common and weak monsters that can be said to be familiar to humans appear, but the deeper you go, the more unknown the abyss lurks.
That’s why it was also called a symbol of the unknown and fear.
Above all, the reason why it is not easy to conquer the monster’s forest is that the terrain itself, like a maze, makes humans lose their sense of direction.
Even if you leave a trail or set a direction with magic, there is no use without luck.
The moment you groan, you get lost and get eaten by the forest.
As a result, the forest of monsters was the main place to practice combat for cadets with the meaning of conquering someday.
“From now on, monsters can appear anytime, right?”
Yuseong asked, and Anise nodded her head.
“Yes. It usually starts as soon as you come in. All practice is like real life…… Right now, we are no different from being thrown into the forest of monsters.”
She will fight alongside her forever.
It was good to adapt to the situation in the future to keep breathing steadily from now on.
“Miss Annis, let’s try to match the breath as I said earlier. Please listen carefully to my explanation.”
“Yes, mister!”
“As Miss Annis knows, I can’t do much damage to monsters. However, it can be immobilized and incapacitated. Miss Anise, please focus on finishing off the incapacitated enemy with that big sword. Then I will escort Miss Anis while I look over the situation.”
“Yes!”
“Then let’s go forward.”
Together with Anise, I stepped into an unknown space.
Still, Yoosung was worried.
‘This…… Wouldn’t it be better to wear an eye patch?’
If you wear an eyepatch, you cannot keep your eyes open for a long time.
To the extent that I look at it for a moment and immediately wind it up when I feel it is dangerous.
As you know, it was due to a strange phenomenon caused by a bug that can see the eyes.
‘The level of mind’s eye is still low, so it is difficult to use it in a battle close to actual combat. Even if the enemy moves just a little faster, it will be delayed.’
However, wouldn’t it be possible to develop the mind’s eye faster?
Worried about it, Yooseong eventually closed his eyes after wearing an eyepatch in his equipment window.
The world is covered with darkness.
Perhaps because I was so nervous, my feelings spread more precisely than ever before.
