Chapter 84 – The Nurse’s Office Is a Scary Place (01)
I was sewing now.
‘This is the first time I’ve made it since I briefly made it in technology class.’
I remember that even in technology home class, I wasn’t good with my hands, so I just poked my fingers a lot and ended up just doodling on the desk with chalk.
Anyway, the reason why I am working hard at sewing now is because when I asked Inori how to make a [Shadow pocket], I was told that I personally overlap and stack shadows made of ‘cotton’ without any thickness to make a pocket.
I tried to make it with just the shadow, but it failed because the image was not right, and it just leaked out the side, so for now, I was learning how to fold the shadow by making a pocket myself using the fabric and needle. . That Inori got me.
Currently, the shadow I can handle is about the size of a person’s upper body.
At first, it was just covering both hands with a shadow, but why did it increase…
Huh. No, what… I stopped after washing up because I was sweating after discovering a valley outside on the way…
Anyway, the value of [Shadow Ninjutsu] Reached 35%, so I had some leeway, but unless I was defending against [Shadow Ninjutsu], There was no need to cover my body, and I didn’t have enough time to learn how to use it offensively, so I used it as an auxiliary tool first. I am practicing to do it.
In order to create a space that exceeds the size of the shadow that I can handle, I need to further increase my skill in [Shadow Art]. As a rough estimate, I think I need to exceed 70%, so first make a small pocket and put only the essential items in it. I’m trying to go.
After about a day of hard work, the shadow bag I created had a narrow entrance and was quite long. Considering the internal volume, a rectangular bag with appropriate proportions would have been better, but the reason for making it so long was none other than that.
“It’s going in… I like it. It’s a perfect fit.”
It was to always carry a +99999 steel wooden sword.
“Now I won’t be in trouble because I don’t have a wooden sword.”
I often run into trouble because I can’t always carry a wooden sword or I forget it. If I keep a wooden sword in my [Shadow pocket] Like this, I can take it out and use it in an emergency situation.
Moreover, the [Shadow Pocket] Was not damaged unless it was attacked with [Shadow Ninjutsu].
“Queuuuuu~”
It’s been three days since I was kidnapped by the [Shadow Family] And released.
I learned [Shadow Ninjutsu], Studied at school, and studied swordsmanship diligently for the [Sword Master].
I also saw a blonde Cylian wandering around the hallways as the day got hotter.
“Don’t mess with that guy called the prince!”
“It’s because it’s hot.”
In times like this, you might want to turn off the adult mode.
Moreover, the reason I get a fever is because I drink alcohol every day, so my body builds up heat.
“It’s really noisy when there are men around… I get it, I get it.”
I was lucky that I didn’t have to encounter anything rattling while wrapping the wet towel around my waist.
“By the way, Aren. Teacher Rebecca was looking for you a while ago?”
“Me? Why?”
“I don’t know. You said you had something to take home? But you weren’t there so I couldn’t give it to you.”
‘Is this an unexpected event?’
The fact that I was kidnapped and disappeared from the academy for two days was surprisingly not a hot topic.
Seeing that Cylian always disappears for several days looking for alcohol, and Ophelia also quietly disappears often, it may be because the academy is surprisingly lenient on attendance…
In fact, every time I go to the Inori family to make a regular report, I spend a full day in the bay, and there are probably a lot of people who disappear often and I don’t know.
Ofelia noticed right away and asked me where I had been, but thanks to my convincing her that I was okay, she seemed to overlook it despite her suspicions.
“But why are you saying that now?”
“I forgot.”
If they found me when I was missing, it would have already been 4-5 days.
If this much time has passed, I think the event may have already ended, but I guess I’ll have to go to the temple tomorrow just in case.
* * *
From the moment I entered the temple, the strange sounds of men and women were echoing around me, but perhaps because I was used to it, I walked without much change in my expression and headed toward the nurse’s office.
‘Wow… I never thought I’d get used to this crazy place’
At first, I was shocked that something like this could happen in some damn temple, but now I just walk around ignoring the groans coming out. After all, humans seemed to be creatures of adaptation.
‘Huh? Are you not inside?’
There are currently no outside activities, so I thought he would be in the nurse’s office, but he seemed to be away for a moment.
‘You’ll be back soon anyway, right?’
It was time to open the door to the nurse’s office and enter, thinking that I could just go inside and wait.
“Uh, welcome… The teacher is away right now…”
A character I had never seen before greeted me.
It was a cute outfit with a short skirt that clearly exposed her underwear and slightly exposed cleavage. Perhaps because she was a short-haired character, her hair was a mixture of white and black hair here and there, so it looked gray from a distance.
It didn’t look like a mass-produced NPC, so while she was wondering if there was an NPC like this in the temple, she made eye contact with me and started shaking.
“You, you… Your Inooooom!!”
The moment a loud shout rang out, I was finally able to figure out the identity of this character.
This character was not her, it was him.
“Are you Eric?”
Tiring-
– Eric’s likeability has reached the ‘uncomfortable’ level –
This was confirmed when I saw the status window with the name [Eric] Appear next to his face. The character originally had the appearance of a very cocky boy, but now he is wearing cute clothes and crossing his legs and fidgeting for fear that his underwear will be exposed when his skirt is lifted. The moment I saw it, I was so shocked that I was speechless.
“What did you come here for? “Did you come to laugh at me?”
“…”
What should I say after seeing this? I was momentarily dazed, but when I saw that she was suppressing her skirt while getting angry, I unconsciously said words of comfort.
“Respect.”
“What?!”
“No, that means you have that hobby…”
– Eric’s favorability has reached the ‘hostile’ level –
It was when Eric got angry and was about to pull out his sword.
When I step on my shadow with the sole of my foot as a signal, I take out my wooden sword and try to blow it away with another strike.
“Eric! “What kind of manner of speaking are you talking to a customer!”
Teacher Rebecca, who was very angry behind my back, was intruding between us.
“I always told you to use only the right and kind words!”
“Okay, well… I was wrong!”
Seeing Rebecca trembling as she suddenly threw back her hand that was desperately covering her front of her, and seeing Teacher Rebecca trying to take something out of her pocket while watching me, I had a rough idea of what was going on here.
‘Oh, I imagined it. Tonawa’
“Please, please…” “I was wrong about that, sir… “
“Go inside and wait.”
As I watched Eric go inside with a trembling and crying face, I got goosebumps because I thought if I had done something wrong, I would have been caught by Rebecca and ended up in that mess.
“Okay. What brought you here, Aren?”
Teacher Rebecca greeted me with a smile, and I asked her while rubbing her arms, which already had goosebumps.
“I heard from Cylian that she has prepared a gift for you.”
“Oh, you mean the tournament winning prize?”
Teacher Rebecca suddenly rummaged through her table and took out one of her glass bottles.
“Just wait a moment. I’ll have it ready soon.”
“…?”
Since she was one of her priestesses, she was waiting to give her an expensive potion or something.
She entered the empty bed inside her nurse’s office, made rustling noises for a moment, and after about 15 minutes, with her face dripping with sweat, she handed her a glass bottle filled with liquid.
“Now, take it. It’s a gift from your teacher.”
I received it thinking it was a potion, but it felt strangely warm.
It was a slightly yellowish but white liquid overall, and even though the lid was closed, a slightly fishy smell was coming from just the smell that flowed around the entrance.
And more than anything, there was a slightly wet stain oozing out of the shirt that Teacher Rebecca was wearing.
Rattling…
Rebecca was sticking out her tongue as she watched me shaking her hands.
“Oh my. Did our Aren realize what that was?”
“Is this… Coming out?”
As I was so shocked and stuttering for words, Teacher Rebecca smiled and answered with a happy expression.
“If necessary? Holy magic has many functions.”
No, I mean, that… That strangely fresh milk that was sold at the temple was milked by priestesses…
“It would be best to eat it right away while it is still warm. So, would you like to drink it right here?”
It seemed like they wouldn’t let me go if I didn’t drink this.
‘Why did you come when it was Rebecca’s event?’
Even in this crazy adult mode, I should have felt uneasy from the moment the person with the craziest level said he was giving me a gift.
Moreover, there was no explanation for this in the item window.
– Unidentified warm liquid –
– It smells a little fishy. I think you should drink it while it’s warm –
“It doesn’t taste good when it cools down?”
As she held on to the glass bottle with her trembling hands, Rebecca herself opened the cap of the milk bottle in her hand.
“Go ahead and drink it? The teacher worked hard to make it salty… No, I prepared it, so shouldn’t I just let it cool down?”
I was holding the glass bottle with trembling hands and eventually closed my eyes and put the glass bottle to my mouth.
Surprisingly, the fishy smell wasn’t strong, and the moment I put it on my lips, I felt an eerie warm sensation…
‘Uh… Delicious…?’
At first, I felt repulsed just by putting my lips on it, but the moment it touched my lips, the taste was so delicious and fragrant that I drank it down to the point where I overturned the glass bottle. After drinking it all, I felt like my whole body was revitalized.
– Strong divine power surrounds your body –
– Resistance to all diseases slightly increases permanently –
– Resistance to all evil slightly increases permanently –
No, it actually worked!
“Teacher, what is this…”
“What do you think? Does it work?”
I didn’t want to eat it that much earlier, but after eating it, I wanted to eat it more because of its taste and effectiveness.
“Even if you look at it like that, it won’t come out anymore. Do you think you’re a cow?”
Hmm. It’s a shame.
