Episode 277. Summer Break – Battle Nation (1)
The Alighieri cadets, who had come to the resort to play, were enjoying a barbecue party in front of the beach.
But then a glamorous woman got involved and the cadets began to question her.
But the moment the woman took off the bracelet, her body changed,
“Ta-da! It’s me!”
The cadets were dumbfounded when they saw that this was Mary’s transformed appearance.
It was natural to be dumbfounded at the sight of that peanut-sized child transforming into a mature woman.
Because I was like that at first too.
But when I looked around, something felt empty.
“Where are the saints?”
“Saint Angela and Saint Nevia are out for a moment.”
According to Krona, the two were summoned to the branch office of the sect for an urgent matter.
Since I am a saint, is it impossible for me to have fun?
Mary was sullen at the absence of those two.
“I wanted to show it to those friends too.”
“But Ruska is coming tomorrow. How about showing it to her?”
“Is that so?”
The moment I brought up the topic of Ruska, I could see Mary smiling wickedly.
It’s clear that he’s trying to pull off some kind of prank.
I hope I don’t get beaten up by Ruska.
* * * * *
“Is this Luv Town?”
Ruska got off the magic train and looked around with her bag in hand.
Lube Town, the empire’s best resort.
After finishing up with Professor Cage’s errands, Ruska decided to meet her friends here.
The day before leaving here, Assistant Professor Adela had prepared a few things for her, and Ruska’s face turned red as she thought about one of them, a swimsuit.
‘Can I wear that in front of other people?’
Adela couldn’t stop complimenting it, even though she only wore it once.
It was Ruska’s first time at the beach or at a resort, so she was very unfamiliar with it and was very embarrassed.
Because Ruska, who had lived more than half of her life in war, was not familiar with the concept of ‘femininity.’
‘It’s okay. I’m sure it’ll be fine.’
If you sit down here, it’s not Ruska Mad-Eye.
And inside the bag was her diary.
Even his roommate Radon doesn’t know about the existence of the diary.
Since he always writes it down whenever he falls asleep, only Ruska knows of its existence.
In the first place, no one should be able to look at the diary.
I can’t guarantee what will happen if someone sees this.
“Ugh!”
“Mom!”
Ruska lets out a cute scream at the sudden voice from behind her.
I looked back, thinking it was some kind of surprise attack, but there was a familiar girl standing there.
“Hello, my friend!”
“What…, it was you?”
The one who surprised him was the small-sized Mary Ludsiel.
And Radon Crowler was there too, and the two of them came out to greet Ruska.
Ruska, whose heart sank, said with a crumpled expression.
“I thought you were going to lose your liver!”
“It’s okay! We’re friends!”
“Then do you want to try hitting your friend’s hand?”
He was an abnormal kid, then and now.
If you point out that they are young, they will turn into lunatics and annoying things will happen.
“Hold on. That’s just how he is.”
“….”
Radon was a hundred percent right.
Teaching Mary common sense would only fall on deaf ears.
It’s easier to just give up.
“What about the other kids?”
“Everyone is waiting for you. They even prepared firecrackers and such to welcome you.”
“It’s past my birthday, what’s the use of firecrackers?”
Ruska turns his head and asks what the fuss is about when it’s not even a festival.
But there was an embarrassed look on his face, as if he was really thinking about it.
“Yeah! I bet your friend will be really happy when he comes over?”
Mary said, rubbing her face against Ruska’s side.
Although she was the most burdensome person to deal with, I didn’t feel any aversion to her at all.
Because Mary was the first to call Ruska her friend.
Maybe that’s why I felt like patting his head instead.
“Huh? But what is this?”
“huh?”
Mary was holding something like a thin book in her hand.
It was a familiar object to Ruska’s eyes, and somehow the bag felt a little empty.
And sure enough, I could see that the bag was half open.
“Wow! This is a book that’s mainly used as a diary. My dad uses this too.”
“You…, no way…!”
“Does your friend also keep a diary? That’s really great! I want to read it too.”
What Mary took out of her bag was none other than a diary.
An item that must not be revealed to the world and must remain confidential.
A book whose contents you don’t want anyone to see.
Ruska’s eyes sparkled as she was robbed of it.
“Give it back….”
“what?”
“I want it back!!”
Ruska shouted and swung her arms to take it by force.
But Mary dodged the blow with a jump and tried to open the book.
“I wonder what interesting things will be written there?”
“no!!”
Radon was startled by Ruska’s sudden bloodshot eyes.
Did Ruska keep a diary by the way?
Even though we shared the same dorm, I never really saw her write anything.
Because from the beginning, he seemed far from that kind of personality.
But what is that?
“Give it to me now!!”
Ruska tries to grab Mary while screaming like a monster.
People passing by were terrified at the sight, and children walking with their parents even cried.
“Hahahahaha! My friend’s diary~!”
“thereupon!!”
The chase proceeded at breakneck speed.
Radon had to gasp for breath as he followed the two.
Mary and Ruska left the station and headed down a dark alley.
It is a quiet place so it doesn’t cause any harm to others, but the more I looked at Radon, the more I was shocked.
Because I’ve never seen Ruska so mad.
“Where are you!”
During the chase, Mary suddenly disappeared from sight.
There were several people visible, but Mary was not among them.
Is it easy to hide because you’re so short?
Don’t be. Radon smiled bitterly at one of the women among them.
A glamorous woman with pink hair wearing a gold bracelet.
Ruska might not recognize him, but Radon knew who it was and had to hold back a laugh.
however….
“You were here?”
Ruska approached the woman and spoke to her.
Without even questioning anything, he just shoots a cold stare at the woman.
“yes…?”
“Don’t act like a fool. You’re the one who’s being treated badly.”
At that moment, the woman’s expression hardened as if she was walking on thin ice.
Radon showed a similar reaction.
How did he know it was her without any hints?
“What on earth are you talking about? And who is Mary…?”
“You stink. Your own special smell.”
As a Yoho, he had an excellent sense of smell. That was the secret to him recognizing Mary’s transformation right away.
Especially for Mary, who has lived with so many bugs in her mouth, she smells something different from a human.
For Ruska’s sense of smell, distinguishing between these was a piece of cake.
“Seo, no way…. Do you know who I am?”
“Then did you think I wouldn’t know?”
Even though she had transformed into an adult, it was the first time I had seen Mary so nervous.
There has never been a situation where a cornered cat was on the verge of being eaten by a wolf.
I don’t know what on earth he did to transform into such an adult…
“I’ll give it to you. I’ll just give it to you.”
It was a matter of no interest to Ruska at the moment.
“….”
Mary swallowed dryly as she saw Ruska’s fierce expression.
In front of the diary, there are no friends or anything. There is only one of two things: life or death.
“Of course I have to give it to you.”
Even Mary felt threatened and had to hand over the diary obediently.
Ruska snatched the diary she handed him and asked one more question with a sharp look in his eyes.
“You didn’t see it secretly while running away, did you?”
“I haven’t seen it.”
“Not even a single word?”
“Yeah! Yeah!”
Mary nodded twice.
Only then did Radon ask Ruska, who was relieved.
“But did you write a diary?”
“….”
To his question, Ruska turned her head coldly as if she didn’t need to know.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have brought it.
Ruska tried to quickly put the diary into her bag.
“uh?”
That was when.
Suddenly, my vision went dark and the space changed in an instant.
It was the same for not only Ruska, but also Mary and Radon.
They were standing in an alley in the village, and before they knew it, they were in a place they had never seen before.
“How did this happen?”
A dark and gloomy space appeared.
It had the appearance of a secret room that seemed like it would be hidden underground, but it was quite spacious for something like that.
“Huh? What is this?”
A large magic circle was spread out on the floor.
Mary tried to run outside, but ended up hitting her face against an invisible wall.
“Ugh…. Is that a barrier magic circle…?”
No one could leave this magic circle.
Someone had deliberately summoned us here and trapped us.
“You know a lot. You’re smarter than I thought.”
A man’s voice was heard from ahead.
A man with a rather cynical look and impressive tanned copper skin appeared from the darkness.
At the same time, the group also appeared one after another, and they too had tanned skin and blond and silver hair.
Radon looked at their faces and crumpled his expression.
Because they are a species that fits the term ‘golden sun’, which is often used in his world.
And the guys had seen it before.
“These guys are the same guys from yesterday.”
“Do you know them?”
When Ruska asked, Radon told her about them.
The men who were pestering Mary yesterday are said to be famous in the village as a group of bad thugs.
“Let’s see…. Their leader’s name was Erte?”
“Do you know me?”
The man with the most annoying appearance among them said.
Erte Daniel. That was definitely the name.
Yesterday they approached Mary and tried to hunt her down in a rude manner.
To be honest, Radon had no regrets chasing them away because they were such annoying guys.
“Is this revenge for what happened yesterday?”
Given the nature of these thugs, there is no way they would do something like this without that purpose.
“We’re not interested in guys like you. What we’re interested in is….”
They look at Mary with sinister eyes.
It was obvious why they had been forcibly summoned.
I guess he’s trying to finish the ‘hunting’ he couldn’t do yesterday.
“They are such piece of trash.”
They stared at her as Ruska spoke with contempt.
Then, with a pleased expression, he reveals his dirty desires.
“Hey… This one isn’t too easy either.”
“You have a nice body.”
Ruska felt goosebumps run down her spine when she heard that sound.
I had faced a few crisis situations in the past, but this time I could feel a different sense of discomfort.
“But compared to this girl, she’s inferior.”
“Ugh…!”
Ruska bit her lip as she was compared to the transformed Mary.
And then another shocking sound was heard.
“Brother, that guy’s bastard is that girl’s lover?”
“Is that true?”
“Yes, he said so himself.”
Suddenly Ruska’s heart started pounding.
It felt like an alarm was ringing in my chest, signaling a crisis.
I feel like something as important as my diary has been stolen.
“Really? Then it wouldn’t be so bad if your lover was raped by another man, right?”
Erte tries to rape Mary in front of Radon.
The moment he saw the picture of Mary grown up, he thought he was going blind.
I am overflowing with the desire to make this glamorous fairy my own.
“You come this way.”
“uh?”
Before they knew it, Mary had been teleported in front of them.
And Erte holding the shoulder of the grown Mary.
“Brother, it’s our turn.”
“Okay, then follow the order.”
As expected, her face was much more beautiful than it looked in the photo.
They are trying to carry out inhumane actions as befitting a group of thugs.
But Mary didn’t even blink at their maddening faces.
“Brothers. Am I pretty?”
“Of course.”
“then….”
pop!-
Suddenly, a mature woman’s body burst open.
And there stood the woman and the little girl who was twenty years old.
The pink hair made the woman look younger.
“Am I really pretty?”
“….”
“….”
“….”
The gangsters collectively looked dumbfounded.
And then all my dreams came crashing down as if they had all turned into bubbles.
