Few minutes ago…
"Hope I'm not late!"
I ran like a madman to the opposite side of the academy. Surprisingly, so students were a little late, like . When they saw , they wondered why the heck I was running to the opposite side.
[You are late.]
[]
I'm so lucky to have these two useless guys with .
I love their positivity and how they encourage every ti.
I removed my blazer and unbuttoned so of my shirt's buttons because it was hot as hell!
But as I ran, I fell on a stand which was selling clothes like the one in Falkrona city.
[]
'Just in case.'
"Old man, gim the black hat."
"Yes, young man. 26 Eden pleas-"
"Thanks man."
I cut him off and ran away with the hat.
"H-Hey!"
The old man stood up with his cane but I was too fast for him.
[...]
[]
I didn't have money anyway.
"There!"
Putting on my hat to cover my grey hair, I rushed inside the forest on my left. It was faster like that. How do I know that? Because Jayden was using the sa short route in the ga.
"!"
Five minutes later, I heard screams and I headed to the sound.
It's here!
I hid behind a tree and watched stealthily.
They were here.
Jayden Rayena the [Protagonist] of the First Ga of [Princess And Dragon].
And Milleia Sophren, the [Main Lead Heroine] of the First Ga of [Princess And Dragon].
They were both fighting two guys each.
It was the sa scene I watched on my TV with Ephera.
Damn… it really feels strange.
Seconds passed and that mont arrived…
The leader of the punks threw a ball of fire at the carriage and his friend blocked the door.
"..."
[]
Cleenah asked .
Did she think I would intervene to save them?
I couldn't do that.
It was an important mont for both Jayden and Milleia.
"No. The start should happen like that."
[]
"In the ga, Jayden rescues them barely in the end. No one died but everyone in the carriage would be badly burned."
[]
"Yeah…"
I felt uncomfortable, so I continued.
"They will be taken to the hospital. Jayden and Milleia will arrive late for the entrance ceremony."
[]
"Not really."
I bit my lips rembering what was going to happen to them.
"The next day, Milleia will get news of their death. So will live but the children won't survive."
In this world, mana was present in everyone's body. It strengthened the bodies of all of them. Adults had a stronger resistance against fire than children obviously.
[]
"Do you want to save them?"
[]
Yeah, I had a reason.
Their deaths were necessary to steel the minds of Milleia and Jayden. Milleia would also get closer to Jayden after obtaining psychological support from him.
She needed to get rid of her naivety fast and Jayden had to get the drive to get stronger. He wasn't the strongest at all among the [Main Characters] after all.
"M-Mommy!!!"
"..."
I heard the voice of a girl crying inside the carriage.
She was going to die tomorrow.
What the hell am I doing?
I was acting exactly like Edward in the second ga.
Watching people burning without care at all…
The plot will change but I can't let them die. What difference would that make between and the one in the ga otherwise?
Though I said that I knew deep down that I didn't want to save them willingly of my own volition. Be it, adults or children, I never cared for strangers, even on Earth.
Why should I exhaust myself to save people I didn't know?
But now, I feel compelled to help them. Not because of pity or any good feelings.
I was afraid.
I was afraid of becoming 'that' Edward Falkrona.
It was just for my self-interest.
Just to prove myself, I wasn't going to beco like that.
If the 'past Edward' would have refused to help them because he didn't care about them, then Nyrel was more because he had no reason to do so. I, who was both of them, really felt no reason nor drive to help them except a selfish one.
I was really a...
What had Ephera or Miranda found in a guy like ?
I laughed weakly.
I knew.
I knew from the start.
Since my family on Earth died or my mother died in this world, I have turned wrong in both lives. Ephera was my only source of light on Earth and I sowhat kept my feet on Earth. But here, that hallucination drove insane. I don't know why my nightmares of that hallucination started to stop or fade away from my mind, since I recovered my previous life mories, Nyrel's mories. It was thanks to that, I wasn't acting like an idiot like before.
-Ding!
[An Item is available in the SHOP!]
What?
"Jarvis, I thought there was no shop?"
[I thought as well.]
That guy…
"Whatever, show quick what it is."
[Mask of the Marauder ~500 AP~]
[Description: Upon wearing it, one can hide his face and change his features. Consu mana.]
What the hell was this timing?
"It's really convenient, right Jarvis? It doesn't feel like it at all, your master wants to intervene, huh."
[...]
Yeah don't talk when I hit the bullseye like usual!
Whatever, I really can't stand still, knowing what would happen to the children. I can't believe I was planning to just watch…
"But, I can't buy the mask, Jarvis?"
[You can take a loan but you will have to repay it in a week.]
"Then do it since your master prepared everything."
I snorted.
As for how the heck I will gather 490 AP in a week. Don't ask . I don't have a damn idea.
[Challenge!] [Talk to Milleia and Jayden!]
[Reward: 50 AP]
Okay, I didn't plan to talk to them, but I should take as many affection points as I can.
"What is the penalty if I didn't repay in a week?"
[Sothing that will not please you.]
"Thanks for the useless answer.
[You are welco.]
A vein popped out on my forehead as I clicked on the slot of my inventory. The mask was floating above the screen and when I touched it, it appeared on my hand.
'Jarvis! What the hell is this mask?! Give another one!"
I asked angrily.
Hell would freeze before I wore such a cringe and embarrassing mask!
It was the kind of mask people would wear in a masked ball! What idiot would wear such mask in the morning on the road?!
I fell in the red for that freaking mask!
Are you kidding ?!
