Chapter 55 – Confession #02
“For a moment! Wait a minute, Artin, let’s try to organize the story…”
Maybe it’s because the story I told you was so confusing. The brilliant Zorba cut me off, raising her hand with a look of incomprehension.
“So, you’ve already died four times, and for some reason you return to the first day of entering the academy every time you die?”
“Right.”
“This is our 5th life, and our Xiao-Mei, Princess Agnes, Miss Violet, and their friend Cayenne, why do they only start remembering you?”
“I understand.”
Zorba, who was looking at me in the eyes while muttering such absurd words, made an expression that he couldn’t understand. Well, it must be because my eyes were eyes that spoke the truth to an extent never before.
“I know you don’t lie, but… There are so many stories that don’t make sense. First of all, why aren’t my memories coming back?”
“I don’t know that part either, I thought it was just women, but since the Cayenne guy has returned, I don’t really know… “
As expected, the easiest thing to understand is to get the conditions to read the special skill called the 5th round bonus. The problem is that I don’t know what the conditions are, so it’s a headache.
‘What if, if we go back to the next episode and no one gets their memories this time…?’
…Of course, Unicor has an inherited trait, so it might remember me to some extent. But what about Xiaomei? Agnes or Violet?
At first, I wanted to erase my memories because of the dark history from the past, but I couldn’t deny that as time passed, the fact that there were people who remembered me was a big support.
I didn’t want to lose that support. I didn’t want to be left alone in the infinitely repeating five years.
What I dreamed of was not an infinite repetition of a fucking life, but people who really liked me, and friends who truly regarded me as friends. The things I didn’t have in real life, and the things I longed for the most.
At that time, did I share my gloomy energy through mental waves? Unicor held my hand tightly.
“Don’t worry too much, Artin, I hope you don’t feel depressed except when you are depressed because of hair loss.”
“…I am very grateful. As long as the hair loss problem is solved, you are saying to live happily, right?”
“No, I just want you to suffer for the rest of your life. Enemies against the virgins of Agnes. Ouch!”
I fed a chestnut to the head of Unicor, who was doing well and was breaking the drift.
“Honestly, it’s hard to believe… But it’s hard to believe that Xiaomei suddenly said something strange, and that you suddenly became a man who could seduce Princess Agnes at once…”
“… Do you believe it?”
“Believe me, there’s no way you would tell such a ridiculous lie now. Artin.”
Saying that, Zorba stroked my hair.
Originally, because of BL, I don’t like shaking hands with men, but for some reason, I felt better, so I just shook my hand to tell him to stop.
His hair is similarly red, and Zorba, who is a year older, is a person who makes you wonder if he would feel like this if he had a real brother.
“So, what are you going to do next?”
“Well, I have to find clues as much as possible while dealing with the subordinates sent by the Demon King.”
“No, that’s important, but there’s something more important, right?”
“?”
What’s more important than finding clues about memory regression? Subjugating the Demon King?
“Yes, what are you going to do about that harem? You already touched Princess Agnes and Xiao Mei.”
“…No, I didn’t mean to touch it!”
“Shhh, are you going to make excuses here and there so that the man doesn’t look like a great fighter? Look at me, I am loved by so many women and yet I have no problems!”
I looked at Zorba with very cold eyes as she brazenly flaunted her arms open.
Any problems?
“Xiao Mei spoke her words her well, but wouldn’t it be right for any man with the qualities of a hero to have three wives and four concubines and countless women?”
Zorba, who says that, two years later, she touches an elf student and a twin sister of the empire at once, and she is caught up in a huge scandal.
How many times have I blocked it, no problem?
“Artin, can I kill that man?”
“Be patient, Unicor, karma is bound to come back.”
“That’s right, because this Zorba is going to solve my sister’s girl problem.”
I, who was blocking Unicor from raising my holy power, turned my head at his sweet suggestion.
“..Will you solve the woman’s problem?”
“You’re thinking about what to do with Miss Violet, aren’t you?”
I was taken aback by those words and jumped up from my seat. What is this sound?
“Wait, how do you know that?!”
“When Xiao Mei consulted me about Agnes, she also consulted Violet.”
I chuckled and clicked my tongue. Perhaps Xiao Mei was having trouble with something she said she would try to solve with Agnes, so she consulted Zorba…
“First of all, Artin, you should be ashamed.”
“..What should I be ashamed of?”
“Of course, it’s because you hurt a woman’s heart, and your actions that you can’t even move because you hesitate are not manly.”
Hot.
At those words, my heart ached as if I had been stabbed with a dagger once.
“..I wanted to talk too, but I didn’t have time to catch the power thief… “
“If it were me, I would have talked to Violet first before looking for the power thief! When the women asked you to leave it to yourself, you should have refused to talk to them yourself!”
At that, I was at a loss for words to refute. Certainly, it was true that I had been putting off the conversation until now, still unsure of what to say to Violet.
“From what I hear, it’s not that she didn’t have romantic feelings for Violet, and Violet says she still likes you a lot.”
“…Still, how could I ask you to come into the harem…”
“No, Artin. That attitude is wrong.”
Zorba, who had been talking like he was having fun in a playful voice until just now, started looking at me with a deliberately serious expression.
“It’s such a difficult story, so you have to convince me. Are you afraid of being rejected? Isn’t it natural! Everyone dreams of a prince-like man who looks at them. You’re just running away Because I’m afraid of being rejected or doing difficult things.”
…I really had nothing to say. Because I still found it difficult to say bad or hard words to my people.
Maybe it’s because I was aware that I didn’t want to be hated by Violet from the first time Violet avoided me.
“You did that to Xiao Mei. Do you really love me with all your heart? Now it’s your turn to ask yourself. What kind of woman is Violet Purple Crow to you?”
Zorba, who tapped her on the shoulder her, stood up with a relieved expression as if he had done what she had to say.
“The only advice I can give you is to be sincere in every moment, at least when it comes to love. Don’t hurt Xiao-Mei.”
“… Thanks for the advice. I’ll try to put that into words.”
“That’s enough, everyone is awkward at first. Good luck.”
Zorba left me with words of encouragement as she stepped out of her club room.
“… Artyn.”
“Yeah, that’s right, I should try. Isn’t that Unicor?”
When Unicor, who was sitting next to me, called out to me in a low voice, I answered with a nod as if I had promised myself.
“No, more than that… Are you really going to dirty Violet… ?”
“…..”
When I glanced back at Unicor, I could clearly see that his eyes were getting wet.
“From Agnes to Violet… How many noble virgins are you going to defile Artin!”
“Ouch! Don’t hit me with divine power! You crazy pony!”
I ran away from Unicor, who was swinging at me with murderous intent, and started running down the hallway.
However, the place where the running footsteps will stop has already been decided. Shalon of the Gold Dormitory. Because Violet will be there now.
I started running with all my might to face Violet with all my feelings of her.
***
“Stand there, Artin! I mean, I haven’t hit you yet!”
Watching the back of Artin, who began to run at full speed with mana, Unikor shouted, swinging his fists loudly in a wait-and-see voice.
..Of course, even if it was polymorphed, the essence of Unicor is a unicorn, a divine beast of the grassland. It is not normal for a unicorn, which is a nobler and greater breed than a red horse that can run a thousand miles, to lose people by running.
“…You stupid guy, why are you messing around with so many women like a prostitute?”
However, strangely, Unicor did not have the heart to pursue Artin. Rather, it was difficult to suppress the blues in her heart her, so she sat down on the stairs Artine had run down and buried her head in his arms her, trying to hide her feelings her.
“There are so many 2 people, but 3 people… Are you aware that you are a contract holder for a unicorn… “
If it was simply a simple anger of defilement of a virgin, I might have rather chased it down and beat it up properly. However, Unikor himself knew that the emotions he was feeling were not simple anger. He just didn’t want to admit it.
Right after being abandoned by the king of the plain, is it because Artin is the only support left, so it hurts so much? Unicor itself thought that that was not the reason.
It was because when he found out that Artin had an affair with Agnes, no, maybe even before that, he had been feeling a strange cold feeling in his heart.
“…You stupid idiot, I don’t care what happens now. I’ll get a knife stuck in my stomach and I’ll die.”
A strange feeling comes over me. It is a feeling that Unicor has never felt in his decades of life. Why did he feel so close to that human being who was male and not innocent? Unicor didn’t even know it properly.
“…That’s stupid.”
Unicor muttered that. Perhaps, it was not Artin who said it to himself, but Unicor, who was also not good at these feelings, did not know it himself.
Just.
I just wanted to be by her side her while beating Artin some more. Feeling sorry for not being able to do so, Unicor sat down on the stairs and began to sob.
