Episode 279. Summer Break – Battle Nation (3)
That powerful barrier was torn apart like paper by the evil power of a single girl.
She didn’t even activate the divine power.
Maybe that’s why she seemed even scarier than usual.
It’s amazing how a person can turn into a monster just because of a diary.
I was able to witness the end of the thugs who crossed the line that should not be crossed with my own eyes.
“Gyaaaahhhhhhh!!!”
“Save me…, Kkaaaaaaah!!”
“I was wrong! I won’t do it again…, AAAHHH!!”
“No!! Don’t touch there… Keuk!”
A huge storm swept through.
A spectacle was created in which wild beasts were released from their cages and were mercilessly tearing people apart.
Still, there were no casualties, but not a single person saw anything good.
The price for stimulating a girl’s heart was harshly high.
In the end, Erte and the other gangsters were left crawling on the floor, covered in blood.
“….”
The girl, who had finished all her work, picked up the diary that had fallen on the floor.
I got back what I wanted, but I couldn’t look relieved at all.
“Haha…, hahahaha….”
The girl looked at me, smiling helplessly.
Now, his face looked like he had given up on everything, that his life was over.
Then he slowly approached me and grabbed my shoulder.
“Please….”
And he said with a sad expression.
“Forget everything.”
I am almost moved to tears just watching this.
* * * * *
I escaped from the thugs’ hideout and arrived at my lodgings.
Although she arrived relatively late, everyone warmly welcomed Ruska.
Kent pointed out that her expression was a bit strange, but Ruska tried to pretend not to notice.
It seems that even if he were to wake up from the dead, he would not want to talk about it.
I also pretended not to know about that.
Even if they find out, it will only reduce the time they have to play.
“What did we do? We ate some really delicious bugs!”
There was no information to be gained by asking Mary, who had accompanied us.
“Would you like to try some? It’ll be delicious!”
Hmm… I thought the loss would be greater than the gain.
Because she’s originally a Mary.
This is what Mary is like.
After a brief welcome ceremony, they headed back to the beach.
They each started splashing around in their swimsuits, showing off their charms.
In particular, Crona was envious of Ruska’s body and rubbed his face against hers, but was punished with a honey chestnut.
Senior Trisha also approached with the same intention and almost experienced water torture with sea water.
But other than that, he was able to get along well with other kids.
She is not a naturally violent girl.
He was only briefly contaminated by the harsh environment in which he spent his childhood. Now, that contaminated mind has been purified, and he has regained his original form.
“Please save my child!”
“Gyaaaah! My child…!”
Several children stole a small boat and sailed far out to sea.
A situation where you lose your oar to find your direction and cannot return.
To make matters worse, fish-like monsters were flocking towards the boat the child was on.
Because it is a monster-infested area that vacationers must never cross.
“mom!!”
“Save me!!”
Children who broke the rules of the coast out of curiosity and stole a boat and ran away cried out for their parents.
The two appeared to be sisters, and the girl who appeared to be the younger sister was hugging her older sister.
Sharp-toothed fish monsters are coming from across the sea.
Only then did my sister realize that her actions were wrong.
“Sister…!”
“Eek!”
But it’s already too late to regret it.
The monsters had already come up to the nose of the ship, jumped onto the water, and opened their huge teeth toward the sisters.
Because of him, even his younger brother dies.
My sister closed her eyes tightly, crying and regretting her actions.
Keeeeek!!-
Kkieeeek!!-
That’s when the screams of monsters that looked like piranhas were heard.
And there was someone on board the boat, and she was supporting herself with both hands, holding the monsters’ sharp teeth.
“Are you guys okay?”
Ruska, who had blocked the monsters’ attacks, looked at the children and asked.
The children looked at her back with blank expressions.
Then other monsters appear and attack from both sides.
Ruska lifted the monster he was holding with superhuman strength and threw it at the monster attacking from the left.
The two monsters who had hit their heads against each other burst out in blood, and the monster attacking from the right was kicked, shattering all of its teeth and crushing its face like a tin can.
He destroyed three monsters with just martial arts, without any magic or effort.
Kieeeek!!-
It didn’t end with just killing three of them.
This is because I could smell a group of what I thought were my fellow creatures coming from the sea.
And that premonition came true, as numerous piranha-type monsters were swimming towards us.
“Eek!”
“What should I do, Sister?”
Ruska spoke to the children who were trembling at the sight.
“don’t worry.”
A double-edged sword was held in Ruska’s hands.
Ruska folded his sword halfway into the shape of a bow and drew his arrow, charging it with aura.
And that was the moment when the bowstring snapped.
Choaaaah!-
A purple trail split the sea and air, creating a huge spray of water.
The arrows took the shape of two foxes and swallowed up all the monsters that were rushing towards them.
Soon, a huge explosion occurred and the monsters were incinerated.
In the aftermath, water droplets splashed like rain, and a soaking wet Ruska looked at the children and said:
“You shouldn’t act so selfishly from now on. Got it?”
The children were speechless at the sound of their older sister’s gentle voice, despite her extremely powerful appearance.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Thank you so much! Thank you so much!”
The children’s mother expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Ruska.
He repeated the words “thank you” not once, but twice.
“Thank you….”
“And I’m sorry….”
The children apologized to the beach manager and thanked Ruska.
Since the two children happened to be sisters, I had a strange feeling about Ruska.
Perhaps he was reminded of himself, who had once acted without regard for water or fire and had harmed his younger brother.
Ruska said to her older sister Ai.
“From now on, cherish your little brother.”
When the older sister heard that and answered ‘yes’, Ruska patted the children’s heads.
Although the combination of red eyes and long black hair made him look scary, the boy actually looked beautiful in the eyes of children.
Although hidden by a pitch-black exterior, he looked like a person who was more pure than anyone else.
“That’s really weird. They’ve blocked off that area with iron bars so no one can enter.”
At that moment, the manager scratched the back of his head and asked a question.
It wasn’t just the children’s fault that they entered that area, it was also their own fault.
So when Ruska asked the children, the answer came back.
“There was a broken iron bar.”
“I came in through there.”
The manager who heard that answer had a question mark on his head.
The manager who was mentioned above immediately went out to check.
Meanwhile, Ruska heard the mother and daughter’s voices once again.
“thank you!”
“Thank you, Sister!”
* * * * *
Just before the day began to get dark, the horizon was bathed in the glow of sunset.
I sat under a rock and swung my fishing rod toward the sea.
The fishhook left waves as it sank into the red-embroidered sea.
I took a deep breath, savoring the quiet atmosphere.
“Haaah~”
I felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
One of the great things about fishing is that you can feel this way before you catch a fish.
‘Of course, fishing boats are different.’
And the girl coming next to me seems to want to feel this way too.
“You want to go fishing too?”
“huh….”
Ruska was standing next to me, holding a beginner’s fishing rod.
The black bikini that matched her hair color showed off her well-proportioned body.
Although not as much as Mary when she changed, the mountain range that rose on her chest played a big role in saving her body.
And she was reborn with an even more splendid appearance, adorned with a red flower on her head.
“What about that decoration?”
“Senior Trisha gave it to me. What does this look like….”
I don’t think I know very well.
If this were a place swarming with men, Ruska would have been the number one target for hunting.
“I’ll sit next to you.”
“huh.”
Ruska sat down and immediately cast his fishing line.
The fishhook that flew away with a “Syaak!” flew farther than when I cast it.
It’s like this if you throw it lightly, but it feels like if you threw it with all your might, it would have flown all the way to the horizon.
“You were cool earlier.”
“What…, what?”
“You don’t have to pretend you didn’t know. I was watching it from beginning to end.”
Not only I, but other cadets were also watching as they saved the little sister.
Even if it wasn’t me, everyone was moved by Ruska’s heroic actions.
Finally, Ruska, who had given up, opened her mouth about it.
“To be honest…, it was my first time experiencing something like that. It was a very unfamiliar feeling to help someone who wasn’t even my relationship.”
Ruska lived her entire life dreaming only of her own survival and revenge.
Because of this, her mind was polluted, but now that it has been purified, her mind has returned to its original state.
It was her original intention to save these children.
“And I’m not used to hearing thank you either.”
“You can just get used to it from now on.”
“….”
Always maintaining a cool face is also a thing of the past.
A detective who seems like he’ll mercilessly interrogate the criminal, but who actually makes you shed tears and runny nose while listening to the criminal’s sad story.
That is Ruska’s original heart.
There is even a shy side to him that hides secrets.
“About that diary….”
“Never tell anyone!”
Ruska cuts him off before he’s even finished talking.
At this moment, the hostility acquired in the dirty environment is clearly revealed.
His eyes were glaring as if he was saying that if he opened his mouth any further, it would become his memorial day.
“Okay, stop growling.”
“joy!”
This time, he puffs up his face as if he’s pouting.
I want to poke it once, but if I do, my finger might break.
“But that diary. Is it all true?”
I asked as I pulled the fish up.
And as I cast my line once more, I heard Ruska’s answer.
“that is….”
Ruska, who can hardly speak.
It seemed like it was so embarrassing that he couldn’t move his mouth easily.
“It started last year. I started writing after a few days of living in the same room as you.”
By that time, it was before the Mosria incident broke out.
It was after the Gumiho incident that she started to change, and considering the amount of time that had passed since then, it meant that she had changed a lot.
“The temperature difference is so different from when you first met me?”
“At that time…, there was no need to explain.”
He was so cold that he could be called the epitome of ruthlessness.
It is impossible for her to write a diary purely like that.
If it’s a revenge plan, then I don’t know.
“I guess I’ve become really weird. When things get better, people change and they even do things they never used to do before.”
One of them was a diary, but I was too embarrassed to be caught, so I kept it completely hidden.
All suppression disappeared, and I moved without realizing it, following the dictates of my original heart.
In that sense, I said.
“It’s not strange at all.”
Far from being strange, that’s how I should have lived originally.
Because it was her original heart that should have been more girlish and sincere than anyone else.
“That’s you.”
There was nothing to be ashamed of.
Because that was his true self.
I was still not used to seeing it in its original form.
So I was embarrassed.
I was secretly envious of Mary, who could show herself off without shame.
“thank you.”
Ruska rested her head on my shoulder with a calm mind.
The sea shone calmly, as if her heart had melted in the quiet atmosphere.
Ruska and I have become inseparable now.
Ruska looked pleased as I stroked her head.
It was like a well-behaved puppy.
“Thank you, my dear. So that fishing rod with the heart on it was the one you were going to give me as a gift?”
It was then that Muto suddenly appeared and started talking loudly.
『I had hopes after hearing the diary contents… . It was as expected! Hahahaha!』
“This little snake can’t stop…, ugh!”
Suddenly Ruska covered my mouth.
“What does that mean?”
When she asked with a serious expression, Muto began to explain this and that.
Actually, Muto and I once found a fishing rod somewhere in the dormitory.
To be exact, it was something Muto discovered while wandering around because he was bored, and I had nothing to do with it.
I just… , I was wondering what it was when Muto handed it to me.
I remember what I said then.
-Who carries around such a crude fishing rod?
Those words… were what Muto was telling Ruska just now.
I tried to cover my mouth, but it was already too late.
“….”
“….”
Because he was such a calm person, a strange silence flowed.
My liver feels cold and my hands and feet become sweaty.
Eventually, ash was sprinkled with ashes on the rice with the ruined snake.
“It’s… rustic… you say?”
“And that fishing rod was thrown away because this guy told me to.”
“This damn thing…, ugh!”
“I just did what this piece of trash told me to do.”
“Whoooosh!”
『Besides, when we were trapped in the barrier this morning, if this debris had manifested us, we could have easily escaped. Right?』
That’s true.
In particular, just summoning Diora would have caused the barrier and even the building to collapse.
But I was so distracted by the funny atmosphere that I couldn’t even use my wit.
“Ah…, I see….”
Ruska looks at me with a very cold face.
In an instant, the cute puppy turned into a hellfire Cerberus.
“I prepared everything… how could this happen?”
“I didn’t know it was a gift at the time!”
“And why didn’t you break the barrier sooner?”
“that….”
Well… there is no room for excuses.
What should I do?
There must be some way out….
“Hey! It’s Angela!”
It was good!
If your gaze is drawn like this, Aisha will appear and fly high into the sky… .
Snap-
“Don’t be kidding me. It doesn’t smell like Angela, it’s just you in here.”
It’s ruined.
Ruska, who saw through my lie, put her arms around my neck.
At this point, it was beyond the sense of smell and was at the level of a high-tech detector.
“Don’t worry. I’m not angry.”
“….”
“Because we only communicate with our bodies.”
Ruska grabbed me and pounced on me.
As always, strength was the key, so I couldn’t escape.
I wanted to ask the spirits for help, but it was no use.
『Whew~ It’s a good atmosphere~』
“Hoo hoo hoo.”
“Krung~”
Although it might not be visible to the general public, they all had expressions of satisfaction on their faces.
I had to be thrown down by Ruska as if I was crushed by gravity.
I feel like I’m suffocating.
Someone please… .
Take it out… .
