Episode 184. Mr. Radon! (2)
Jenny’s lies continued cruelly.
Every time she failed, a “crack” sound rang out, and despite the pain, Jenny continued to try, ignoring the pain.
Even though I hit it gently, the fishing rod I caught was not ordinary. That’s why I prepared a small fishing rod, not a Leviathan.
Although it’s almost like a slap, I’ve never seen anyone endure it more than a few dozen times.
“again!”
But the lies kept coming. Jenny was starting to cry, her head starting to hurt.
At that appearance, my eyes turned red and I almost felt a protective instinct, but at the same time, I felt a fierce fighting spirit.
but…
Crack!-
“Ouch, oh, oh, oh!”
The result was the same. I kept bragging that Professor Radian was behind me, but it was no use.
It was nonsense, since there would be no faculty or staff present except for those on duty on the weekend.
It’s not a comedy, but it’s even funnier when you say it so obviously.
“Eugh…!”
“How about we stop now? Too much time has passed already.”
“No, I’ll just ask you this once. Okay? Please.”
“I can’t do this anymore. My shoulder hurts just like you do.”
Even though I tried my best to persuade her, Jenny’s face was still filled with earnestness and passion.
How desperately do you want to fool me? To be exact, don’t you want to hit me back as hard as the person I hit?
“And this isn’t the only chance we have. Let’s take it easy.”
“….”
Jenny finally became quiet after hearing those words. The fire burning in her eyes had died down, and all that remained was a smirk.
Jenny said, holding back her anger.
“But why aren’t you acting as a master? When were you so confident? Have you already lost your mind?”
Despite her delicate expression, she had a rather dizzying expression.
Because it was something that a loser in a historical drama would say, “You’re letting me go without finishing me off? Do you think I’m that funny?”
Up until now, pretending to be an old man in the mountains, saying “Ahem!”, wasn’t all that great.
“At first, I felt excited because it felt like a new experience, but the more I think about it, the more embarrassed I feel.”
“….”
It was like the time when puberty and middle school syndrome were in collaboration.
It’s a mindset where, after everything is over, you suddenly think, “This doesn’t seem right,” or “I want to revise it again.”
What’s more embarrassing than anything else is that I hit Jenny so many times.
“Sigh… I definitely worked hard… but why didn’t I succeed at anything?”
“I’m so sorry…!”
Jenny, sobbing like a baby, runs into my arms.
Coincidentally, Jenny is a top class combat specialist and a promising prospect trusted by the department.
He is very popular and always occupies a high position with overwhelming power.
If you only listen to that explanation, it seems like he’s the epitome of a charismatic cadet… but most of them are likely to forget one important fact.
That is to say, she is a girl who is not even in her twenties yet.
“It’s so unfair! It’s like I lost without even being able to complete a single move, even though I held the sword!”
“It wasn’t really that kind of match.”
“No, from Radon’s perspective, it might be something as simple as eating, but to me, it was a serious match. When you compete with classmates, your pride is at stake!”
Hwarur-
The fighting spirit that had died down is starting to flare up again.
Why on earth are you so scary? Can’t you please be a little more moderate?
I’m sorry I could die, so please. Okay?
“But Radon is too strong. Even though I attacked with my sword, it feels like you are mocking me with your bare hands.”
“There is no need to compare it to that level….”
Fortunately, his fighting spirit has subsided again. But judging from what he says, it seems he still can’t give up his stubbornness.
Looking at that sight, I feel uneasy for some reason… but honestly, even I would feel so wronged that I would go crazy.
“Do you know how many times we exchanged sums?”
“hmm….”
They say that no tree will fall if you hit it 10 times, but Jenny never fooled it even once despite trying 100 times.
It’s a whopping 100 times. So the number of times it was hit is also 100.
“I’m so sorry I have nothing to say.”
Jenny can be considered brave for taking that hit and stopping at this level. This is because she suffered damage both physically and mentally at the same time.
“But how long do you plan on holding me?”
“ah…”
At that moment, Jenny felt a strange energy, her face turned red, and she fell away from me.
I was so wronged that I couldn’t see anything. I was embarrassed once again by the fact that I had unconsciously fallen into Radon’s arms.
“What happened just now… Can you forget about it? I got angry without realizing it and…”
“It’s okay. I understand everything.”
The shy Jenny returned to her girlish appearance, which was a stark contrast to her previous appearance of being crazy about victory.
“I guess I just don’t have the talent to lie?”
“….”
I don’t know about anything else, but in the field of ‘scammers’, Jenny was no better than a child threatening someone with a kitchen knife.
The answer can be found in the way he just tells lies as they come to him.
Improvisation is the basis for deceiving others, but I am not very good at it. On the other hand, I am able to use other people’s psychology and even change myself.
From Jenny’s perspective, it couldn’t have been anything but a daunting wall.
“I think I set the difficulty level too high. Sorry.”
“You can stop apologizing now. I’m the one who’s not qualified to do it.”
Jenny’s heartbreaking words made me hold my breath.
It was another moment when a difficult feeling was about to take over my mind.
“Huh? It’s Lyman.”
Jenny said with her eyes wide open. I was about to turn my head away when I saw that guy appearing.
But that was then.
“for a moment.”
It was a moment when my head was only half turned.
This almost happened.
“Jenny, you’re not lying again, are you?”
“No… this time it’s real…”
“Surely, what on earth is that crazy guy doing here?”
“It’s not just Lyman. I didn’t notice because I was so focused, but… Saint Nevia and Princess Mirona are also there.”
Me too. Please explain it in a way that makes sense.
She’s the main character, the princess, the saint, and all of them are too famous celebrities to be in a place like this.
Even if it is a free weekend, the chances of accidentally appearing here are…
“Stay still…!”
Suddenly, goosebumps ran down my spine. My body seemed to stiffen at the sudden sensation of a strong presence behind me.
I don’t know if the saint and the princess actually exist, but this presence is definitely that guy’s!
At that point, I couldn’t see Jenny lying. I just turned around and looked back.
“uh?”
There was no one. That creepy feeling was nowhere to be found.
That’s strange. There must have been someone there just now.
That doesn’t mean Jenny was lying. There really were a saint and a princess next to my lords.
`Then maybe…`
I slowly turned my gaze with a stuttering movement. It was the moment when I returned my gaze to the front again.
“Are you looking for me?”
A devil stood before him. At the same time, the creepy feeling returned.
Lyman, who appeared like a ghost, looked at me with a smile, and I couldn’t move my body when I saw that smile.
“How long have you been here?”
“It’s been there since Jenny said, ‘Oh, it’s Lyman.'”
Jenny, standing behind Lyman, grabs the back of his neck and grimaces. This time, it wasn’t a lie, it was the truth.
Lyman says with a dark smile for no reason.
“I think some idiot just called me crazy…”
Shit, did I say something wrong? I want to tell him coolly. But in front of that guy, I can’t help but keep my mouth shut.
Lyman already looked around, wondering, “Who could it be?” It was even more eerie because he was doing it with a smiling expression.
“It reminds me of that time.”
I had a similar experience when I called a guy a fucking XX during a practical test in my first year of high school.
This is exactly the kind of situation that Daejabu is talking about.
I ended up having the guy grab my shoulder with his hand.
“Shall we have an interview together?”
“What… interview?”
“What the heck?”
At that moment, the guy’s smile turned into a rotten smile.
“You know that very well. I heard everything you just said, you little punk.”
What should I do? Should I immerse myself in the smoke and protest?
No. It’s too late for that. And besides, with Jenny standing next to me as a witness…
“Radon didn’t do that.”
uh?
Jenny said.
What did you just say?
“Radon never said anything like that.”
Jenny speaks again.
As expected, I didn’t mishear.
“….”
“….”
Lyman, of course… and I also had an expression on our faces like we’d been hit in the back of the head.
Jenny must have heard me say ‘crazy’ out of my own mouth just now. So why are you lying like this? Why?
“Is it true?”
“huh.”
“Stop kidding and tell the truth.”
Lyman puts mental pressure on her. But Jenny says,
“Radon didn’t say anything like that.”
“….”
Lyman was shocked by that short sentence. And I was quite shocked as well.
I naturally expected that I would experience a deja vu from the practical exam that day. That time, I was dragged to the rooftop thanks to Jenny’s honesty.
But now, compared to the time of the practical exam, it was a world of difference.
`Is the result of my training just now shining?`
It’s really amazing.
It’s long.
I am so proud as your master.
To have grown this much…
“These guys turned into pairs!”
“Ouch, oh, oh, oh! Stop it! It hurts!”
“Eww! He really is a madman!”
Of course, in return, Lyman pulled our faces like rubber.
It was the moment when the once cute ball suddenly turned into a swollen, burst dumpling.
Only after Lyman let go of her hand could a conversation take place.
“Ayaaaya… What are you doing in a place like this? You have absolutely no motivation to train.”
As I spoke, soothing his flushed cheek, Lyman replied.
“I came to pick up those two. They’ve been busy running around since morning, so they ended up sleeping in a place like this. And they’re the princess, too.”
I saw Princess Mirona napping on a bench. And she was using Muto’s tail as a pillow… Huh? Muto?
“Hey, why are you here acting as a pillow?”
When I ran to Muto and asked him, he said,
“This guy agreed to write this for me.”
Saint Nevia was writing the manuscript that Muto was supposed to write. Despite her poor posture due to using a bench as a desk, she was still absorbed in her work.
“Oh my, you’re here. Senior Radon.”
“Why is Saint Nevia using this?”
“I just touched it out of curiosity, and my hand started moving on its own. Writing isn’t so bad after all.”
Nevia spoke with a rather happy heart. Today, her green hair seemed to have a thick sheen.
Originally, he was the type of person who wouldn’t stop once he got excited. That reached the extreme and he became a villain in the main story.
“Can I write this for a while?”
“what?”
“I heard from this snake friend that it’ll be fine to just roughly put it together anyway.”
It’s certainly not wrong, but… is that okay? In a situation where you don’t know what will happen to the already complicated story.
“Then should I try it too?”
“what?”
Lyman’s bombshell statement left my mouth open.
“I heard it was a roughly put together manuscript. Wouldn’t it be okay if I got involved?”
“No matter what, you have to think rationally. If you guys relay this amongst yourselves…”
It was at that moment when I was asking a question that Jenny suddenly interrupted me, cutting me off.
“Can I try it too?”
Even Jenny joined in the water fight, which made me stick out my tongue.
Jenny seemed to want to fit in somehow, perhaps because she felt left out.
Why do I have to be interested in something like this?
『Ohhohoho. This smells like a masterpiece.』
“Shut up.”
The moment I was about to faint at Muto’s whispers… I heard the sound of someone fanning a burning house.
“Radon, while we’re at it, why don’t we show it to Crona and Mary? They might help us if we ask!”
“under….”
That terrifying sound left me speechless.
