62 – Priest (1)

Since Kara joined, nothing special happened.

The sleepless Grace and Lee Yeon-joo dozed off, but there was no problem.

Even on the evening of the same day when the safe zone was reduced to its maximum. There were few survivors and no intention of fighting.

“Are you going to fight? We don’t care.”

“A peace treaty wouldn’t be bad either.”

These words were spoken by Alvin, who survived until the end like everyone else. As soon as he saw us, he immediately made a peace agreement.

A peace treaty was concluded because the country’s existence was so great that it was like a nuclear bomb.

It was good that we didn’t lose our strength, so the peaceful practice continued in its own way.

“Mr. Alvin, what did you eat to survive?”

“I survived by only drinking water.”

“······Aren’t you hungry? It must be very difficult.”

“I’d rather not eat frogs or snakes than eat them.”

Alvin survived rather foolishly. He just kept going without eating anything.

The drinking water was solved with the potions I had brought beforehand. It’s hard to hunt, and it’s the result of not wanting to eat insects.

“This?”

“That, get rid of that quickly! I won’t eat it!”

So when I gave them a golden-brown slug, they freaked out. I wonder why everyone hates bugs so much.

I left Alvin with her complexion turning blue and handed it over to Kara. She put it in her mouth with her words of thanks.

“Mm. Mm. It’s delicious. Why don’t you eat this delicious thing?”

“I don’t know.”

“··· ···”

Alvin looked at us like that and put on an indescribable expression. Not gonna lie, it’s really delicious.

Anyway, time passed, evening approached, and the sun was about to set.

“Everyone did a great job. Survival practice ends here.”

The professors came to visit us while we were having fun peeling the nogari in the safety zone.

The eventful survival practice is over. Now you can rest comfortably on a soft bed.

“It would be best to take off the bracelet later, if possible. It has the function of increasing recovery from fatigue and temporarily blocking menstruation. So, go to your accommodation, take it off, and return it the next day.”

“······Aside from increasing recovery from fatigue, why did you include a function that prevents menstruation?”

A question from Grace. Her other survivors have similarly questionable faces.

If a person’s environment is slightly different, his or her body will be affected in various ways. This is especially true of menstruation.

Moreover, in the case of survival training, the environment has changed dramatically. Not everyone would have thought what had changed.

“For many reasons, but to avoid embarrassing situations. We’ve been watching you guys. Do you understand now?”

“·······Yes.”

Grace nodded her head. Perhaps her quick-witted mind had foreseen it to some extent.

The professors are using some method to watch the students. So, I was able to focus only on practice.

Some people may feel uncomfortable here, but there was no particular big backlash. Because she was the one who didn’t focus on survival and did useless things.

“Well. You don’t have to worry too much. We don’t care about students’ personal circumstances. It’s one of the academy’s principles.”

Marlboro glancing at me while saying that. Even the other professors were secretly keeping their eyes on me.

She was no one else and I wondered why she was looking at me, but then I realized it.

‘Ah. Luna.’

I remembered Luna, who had been forgotten for a while. She most likely watched everything she said to me.

Luna was asking about the murals in the cave I lived in, but it’s a confession that is more than enough to be misleading in the eyes of others.

The professors, who were watching everything in real time, must have been in need of popcorn. I’m not sure how to rate it.

‘I’ll deal with it well.’

Professors are never cheap. I wouldn’t know if I called out the person concerned and gave him advice, but I’m not the kind of person who spreads rumors.

However, words without footing go a long way, and rumors will gradually grow in size and grow closer to the truth.

This is not something that professors can do. That’s what the rumors were about in the first place.

I don’t know how things will turn out, but I just do what I have to do and it’s over.

“Again, everyone did a great job. Tomorrow’s class will only have afternoon self-training, so take a good rest until morning. Then disband now!”

After following the professors out of the forest, the order to disperse was issued.

The students looked at each other for a while, then moved back to their dorms.

We each tried to leave for our lodgings in the same way. That is, until Grace called me.

“Mr. Sivar.”

“?”

I stopped moving her steps and looked at her. The same goes for Kara, who went out with them.

Grace’s face was red with her exhaustion. For two days she hadn’t eaten properly and hadn’t slept properly.

Nevertheless, she couldn’t hide her unique sharp and splendid beauty. In addition, even his sharp eyes softened slightly, giving him a miserable appearance.

“That…”

Grace tries to say something but licks her lips. I waited in silence for her to open her mouth.

Eventually, Grace looked at Kara next to me and gave her a wry smile. This is an unusual expression for her, who has always been confident.

“······It’s nothing. Please take good care of us in the future.”

“Yes.”

“Yeonju too. Please take good care of me in the future.”

“Yes, yes…!”

Grace speaks to Yeonju Lee with a kind smile on her face. She instinctively realized that was not what she wanted to say.

I don’t want to be awkward. Even more so, it would be nice if he became close with Grace, but nothing would be bad.

I don’t know what I want to say, but I think it will be difficult to fill the favorable impression if I end it here.

My instincts told me so. Don’t quit, keep going.

“Grey. Is.”

“Uh, huh? Me, me?”

I wonder if it’s because I’m tired. Grace pointed at herself with a puzzled face at my call.

It’s very different from when I usually only show my elegant side as an aristocrat. One of the true selves hidden behind a mask.

I spoke to her as her eyes widened.

“Cake.”

“······Cake? Cake?”

“Yes. I promise.”

I promised before. If you do well in survival, you’ll buy me a cake.

Thanks to me, I not only escaped from the crisis, but also practiced without any problems until the end. It fulfilled its promise.

Grace exclaimed, “Ah,” As if she noticed it too late. She then made a puzzled expression and then she sighed.

“Sorry. I forgot. When should we meet?”

When would be a good time? Since I have a prior agreement with Luna, I have to postpone it to a later date, and there are episodes to come.

Considering that, it seemed like it would take a little longer to make an appointment. On weekends, I have to be trained by Ellie and Rod.

“I’m sorry to interrupt you, but what kind of appointment did you have with Sivar?”

While thinking about it, Kara intervened. She will have questions as this will be the first time she has heard of it.

At this, Grace explained what had happened so far as if nothing had happened.

“I promised to buy you a cake if Mr. Sibar actively cooperated. And Mr. Sibar did a great job keeping that promise. That’s all.”

“Cake? That sweet and fluffy thing?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Hmm…”

Kara looked at me after hearing the answer. Concern flickered in his green eyes.

I don’t know what’s bothering me, but I don’t think it’s a negative emotion.

“······Okay. A promise is a promise. Instead, make it later, not now. You are tired and we are tired too. We have a lot of time, right?”

“I’ll do that. Do you want to eat with Yeon-joo?”

“Oh, no. I’m fine.”

Lee Yeon-joo vigorously refused, waving his hands. It was a doctor who clearly refused.

Grace was also able to ignore the question because it was a polite question.

‘When was the episode related to Lee Yeon-joo?’

I understand that this is an event where people from the phantom empire come to visit. Someone of a higher rank will come.

That person immediately recognizes Lee Yeon-joo and causes various incidents. It’s a mess because he’s a human with a concept, otherwise it wouldn’t be a fuss.

“I repeat, everyone did a good job. Tomorrow… I don’t think I’ll be able to get up, so see you in two days.”

After Grace’s words, we each went back to our inn. Of course, I moved with Kara.

‘Anyway, I hope only that human doesn’t come.’

Since the survival practice is over, the next episode is definitely that. An episode involving priests.

In Soul World, you can get a priest-related job through that route. Instead, your faith should be a little higher.

As my faith is hitting rock bottom, I don’t care too much about it. But the problem is that I am a believer in ‘Chaos’.

“Sivar.”

“?”

Just when I was worried about whether that person would come to me, Kara called me. I got out of her thoughts and looked at her.

I don’t know why, but Kara has a displeased face. By the time I wonder what I’ve done wrong.

“I don’t know if Ellie taught me, but can’t you just follow someone who buys you something delicious?”

“······· Huh?”

She brought her words out of the blue. For me, it is advice that would be embarrassing and embarrassing.

When I was puzzled by this, Kara scratched her head and gave me an excuse.

“Didn’t I say Grace? She looks kind of nice, so that’s okay… But don’t just follow people around. Especially when someone you don’t know gives you food or treats you nice things. Okay?”

Who do you know as a child? I stared at Kara with a puzzled face.

Kara re-educated me to see if she understood my face in a different way.

“Okay. Let’s do it. Someone you don’t know told you to come along because he will buy you a cake. So what are you going to do?”

“Yes.”

You should just skip the cake and jump out. But Kara didn’t seem to like my answer very much.

“I have to say no! Then, start with other things. What would you do if someone you don’t know will give you money and ask you to do something nice?”

“Good.”

“No! You have to say no! Wow. He almost got into trouble, right? It’s nice to know now.”

I can protect my body by myself, but I don’t know why I’m showing such a reaction.

Like it or not, Kara muttered in her sincere voice.

“I’m afraid someone will take our sweet Sivar. We’ll keep an eye out.”

“?”

Who takes whom? If I take her by force, she’ll get away with biting me.
