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

447 – Ready Player One #2

447 – Ready Player One #2

「Event」.

The scenes that come to mind when looking at these words will be different for each person.

Some people may think of a great birthday party.

You might think of something like a 100-day or 1-year anniversary event with a new lover.

Setting the mood with wine and candles.

Maybe you think of holiday discount flyers from large supermarkets.

Me?

What about me?

For me, who has played a lot of games, “Events” Were generally opportunities to learn CG.

Festival event – CG of dancing with firewood lit on the last night of the festival.

Summer vacation event – CG of running to the beach together under the hot sun.

And so on-.

My “Event” Was an opportunity to collect various costumes, expressions, and meaningful appearances of various heroines.

In my opinion, these CG collection events usually occur when a great atmosphere or emotional excitement is at its peak.

A high hill that a man and a woman reach by going through bushes and difficulties together after being left behind on a school trip.

The moon shining high.

Two men and women face each other in a landscape that feels like the end of the world.

Something like a romantic kiss.

Yes, there are a lot of romantic things in general.

But.

There was no romance or anything in the “Event” That was occurring now.

All I did was go to the club room and show the girls staying there the accessories that had just been made in the workshop on the palm of my hand.

『Ring of Promise: An old iron sword was melted down and made into the shape of a ring. Other than that, there is no other effect.』

It was four rings.

It happened to be the same number of people in this club room.

A ring made using the iron sword broke during the fight with Luke.

It’s a clunky item with no special decorations or even a single jewel, so it’s a bit embarrassing to hold it in the palm of your hand.

But I couldn’t help it.

I also wanted to show off my form in a nice atmosphere and give everyone something like flashy glass slippers as a gift. There wasn’t enough preparation time for that.

“…”

No, to be honest, I think the result would have been the same even if there had been more preparation time.

Because I am a very clumsy person when it comes to these things.

Even though I saw a lot beyond the monitor.

It’s probably because it’s my first time actually doing it.

“Ring… !”

Zek-.

At that time, Nike took a ring from my palm

“NK. Nike! My name is written in abbreviations! It’s pretty!”

Did you like the embossed alphabet?

Nike was happy as she placed the ring on her ring finger.

It would be to compare sizes.

“The size is perfect for me!”

“Well, I already know the size of your fingers. You can try it on once. If it doesn’t fit, you have to change it.”

“Ugh, it seems like a perfect fit.”

As Nike’s face is brightly colored in pink, Enio slowly approaches.

“It looks like the one with EN written on it is mine. Victor, when did you prepare all this? “I hadn’t even thought about it.”

Enio also tried the ring around on his finger

“I thought it would be a bit difficult to prepare just my own, so I prepared Nike and Victorica together, right? I heard that Victor also has a big heart. “I just had to prepare mine.”

It was Enio holding the ring tightly in his hand her her her her.

I don’t think I have any plans to try it on first.

Soon Victorica also took her own ring her in her her hand her her her.

“V.C. Victorica. I think this is my ring. I thought you were busy wandering around these days, but you were preparing something like this by yourself. Indeed.”

I looked at that guy’s left hand.

Originally, Victoria had a ring on her left ring finger

A ring that has been worn for a long time.

After breaking off the engagement with me and taking it out, there was something that looked like a white mark wrapped around my ring finger instead of a ring. Now, perhaps because it has been a while, those marks have long since disappeared.

“Whenever you want to break off an engagement. I brought the ring back as I was pleased. Victor, do you know what it means to give a ring to a woman?”

“Know. Although it is abbreviated. I’m proposing marriage. To all of you.”

That is what it meant when a man gave a ring to a woman.

It is an event that may only occur once in a lifetime.

“… You don’t know how to say something like that in a situation like this… This is just cheap. It is not gold or silver, but made by melting steel… “

Victorica seemed very angry, perhaps because the important event of her life she was cut short like this.

It would have been necessary to hold a wonderful event for each person and hand them a ring.

No matter how much a harem marriage was advocated, it seemed difficult in many ways to give rings to the women at the same time.

“It’s economical and good to do this because you can do it all in one day instead of having to celebrate your wedding anniversary separately.”

Of course it’s a joke.

That’s how little time we had.

All I can give is sincerity.

I decided to speak my truth, even if it was awkward.

“When I get back from the Pantheon, I’ll make it something even better. One for everyone. Prepare a great event for each individual. “Let it remain as a wonderful memory that will never be forgotten.”

Drop-.

Drop-.

At that time, tears flowed from Victorica’s eyes

I didn’t know the meaning of those tears.

“Victorica.”

“Ah, Mr. “Why am I like this?”

A woman’s tears were more powerful than any other skill or item, enough to make a man’s heart dizzy.

If it is a woman so beautiful that everyone on the street turns to look at her, and if it belongs to a woman I like, the destructive power is even greater.

Enio said.

“It’s me, Victorica. Why are you crying at such an important moment? “I’m out of form.”

Kuuk-.

As Enio said that, he also bit his lower lip

Bright tears well up in those red eyes.

“Why are you crying! On a happy day like today!”

At that time, Nike shouted.

Nike was already crying as she said that.

She had a very sad face.

Nike whimpered and shouted wildly.

“Victor, you idiot! Don’t you know you shouldn’t do this before something big happens? It’s denial! I can’t come back… ! Don’t you know the term ‘flag of destiny’?”

I see.

I must have seemed like the person I am now who would say the same thing as her, “I have to propose to her when she comes back from war.”

Most people who say such things die.

Like fate.

“So, no one is wearing a ring.”

I guess everyone thought that if they put the ring I gave them on their ring finger, I would go to the Pantheon and never return.

“Everyone seems so stupid.”

Now I don’t even care about things like flags and flags of destiny.

“Victor! “Don’t go!”

At that time, Nike came into my arms.

He goes so far as to cry out in a loud voice.

Victorica takes Nike away.

“Hey, Nike. Don’t go. Why do you do this when you know it’s impossible? Don’t go out of your way to make Victor’s heart heavy.”

“… I know! But, I was just wondering if I should say something like this at a time other than this, so I gave it a try! Now that I’ve confessed my feelings, it’s okay. “I won’t cry anymore.”

Sseukseu-.

Nike wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.

And then he smiled like a peach that has become even more shiny with dew on it.

“Today is a happy day. Soon, Victor will go on a long journey. If we make him worry by crying, it will only cause pain to Viktor. I don’t want to be remembered as a crybaby by Victor! If possible, I want to be remembered with the prettiest smile.”

Nike has grown.

It made me wonder if it was the Nike I met in the mysterious forest,

Even Enio, who was rarely impressed by that sight, let out a snort of surprise.

“Nike, why are you saying all these wonderful things?”

“What! “I always say nice things!”

Nike and Enio started bickering again.

It’s something I feel these days, but Nike and Enio were as polar opposites as Enio and Victorica.

It’s kind of fun to watch the two fights.

You can watch it forever and never get tired of it.

At that time, Victorica said.

“Then, shall we not sleep in today and stay up all night to play?”

Then he rummaged through the refrigerator in my club room and pulled out something. It was a liquor bottle reserved for cooking. “Black Holy Grail”. This is a strong drink that Cain enjoyed drinking.

I said something out of anger.

“It’s not even Coming of Age Day yet.”

But Victoria took the cork with her hand and unscrewed it.

“So what. Victor, are you going to follow those rules from now on? “Didn’t you want to head to the Pantheon because you didn’t want to follow the rules?”

It didn’t sound like the words of the student council president, who must follow discipline more than anyone else.

However, Victorica moving towards ‘freedom’ was more dazzling than ever.

Gurgling-.

Before we knew it, black liquor was glistening in our glasses.

“Cheers!”

At Victorica’s shout, our glasses clink together.

Soon, each person put their lips to the glass and tasted it, but Nike, who had an exceptional sense of taste and smell, was the first to let out a painful groan.

“It tastes awful. I still don’t know what it tastes like. Why am I drinking this?”

Now that I see it, both Enio and Victorica were only wet with solo drinks.

Well.

Why do I drink alcohol?

I don’t know either.

Even when I worked at a bar and saw customers, I always wondered why they liked drinking alcohol.

Someday.

When you become an adult…

“In the truest sense, we will all know the reason when we grow up.”

I said calmly.

As she said it, she felt it was more cringe-inducing than she thought, but she didn’t feel anything. Am I already drunk?

Nike asks.

“Will that day come? Will the day come when we become adults?”

“Come. “I will make it happen.”

“Victor is making me an adult… !”

Nike was trembling as if she was extremely happy.

Soon, Victorica grabbed one of Nike’s pigtails and pulled it lightly.

“Ugh! “Don’t pull it!”

“There’s an old saying that pink hair is pretty. You know that making me an adult doesn’t mean that, right? “Don’t you know that it will allow us to go beyond the ending?”

“I know! And since you pulled my hair, I’m going to pull your hair too! Actually, I’m only saying this now, but I’ve wanted to pull Victoria’s ponytail for a long time!”

“What! Ouch! “Don’t pull it!”

It’s noisy.

Her face is red and her tongue is becoming looser, probably because she’s drunk because everyone was just touching her lips.

Whatever it is, I still feel like I have a long way to go before becoming an ‘adult’.
