Avoid Former Co-Workers

32 – 32. The weak (1)

In the past, Charlotte Ashrelt’s outrage was predicted.

A team member who does not behave very effectively. She is dissatisfied, but she still has to be with them this time.

The weakest avant-garde, who has the momentum to attack even the same team members because he always quarrels with each other.

The future of this team has not been so bright in the past.

Charlotte intercedes once. At the same time, she warns the four men sharply. If this happens, grades, which are a common goal, will stay in the lower ranks.

However, the avant-garde man is unable to withstand the continued discrimination and tyranny of his teammates and ends up falling apart from the team.

Charlotte also recognizes her injustice and before long she leaves the team.

Then, did the gigantic Kud Rats appear at this time as well? The correct answer is O.

Charlotte and Junon, who had been attacked nearby, tried to join forces, but they were pushed back helplessly because there was no neutralizer and they weren’t as clever as they were back then.

The situation was driven to the point where it was about to become a meal.

How can two people easily catch those giant mice?

Thus, Charlotte’s outrage has happened in the past as well.

It was a rampage that proceeded in the same way and for a similar reason, but there were four more people near her to hold her down, as she fortunately followed her Junon deep into her forest.

In the back, all members of Thembris party suppressed Charlotte, who was equally runaway.

That was Charlotte’s past when she joined the party in Them Bris, and it was the first memory she remembered after accepting Junon’s magical power.

Recalling those disparate memories of hers, Charlotte looked back at herself as she walked through the distant future of her kingdom after a long time.

“Why… Did I hate you so much back then…”

In her memories, she was an underdog.

In order to replenish her depleted magical power, she turned into a beast and went berserk.

She can’t even contain herself, and since her first outburst, she has always had to rely on others to hold on to her ego.

The girl in those memories is herself, the very weak one.

She said to Junon in a rage.

I can’t admit you.

You’re weak. Get out of this party.

This party collapsed because of you.

“Yes…”

I was foolish enough.

“Why. Why did you say such a stupid thing…”

Is it possible that he dared to say such a thing to a man who could save people by sacrificing himself for someone else?

That was the reason Charlotte bemoaned herself.

“That’s also me, but I’m so stupid. How can I be so stupid when I’ve learned so much.”

Looking at the senior two years above her lying on her bed, she continues to compare herself with herself.

She didn’t waste her power while shedding attacks, and she minimized her damage while conserving her power as much as possible.

She overpowered her opponent without giving in to the incomparable difference.

In the end, she sacrificed herself to save others.

Even though I’m in Class E.

Though nicknames that are absolutely not good follow his footsteps.

Much better. Much stronger and stronger. This man was undeniably strong.

Unlike some weakling idiot who can’t even control himself properly.

Shortly after, Charlotte grabs one arm of the bedridden patient with both hands and looks at her closed eyes, she says.

“Thank you, senior. I’ll come see you in a little while.”

I have to leave for a while because I have to explain the justification for the runaway and calculate the hospital expenses.

I hope he will be awake when I get back to the hospital room.

To give proper thanks and apologize directly to him.

What was Junon like in the past? I decided not to think about how he was treated at the Thambris party.

-‘That guy. At first glance, he looks weak because he doesn’t use outstanding magic, but contrary to his appearance, he’s the strongest guy in this party.’

A word about Junon left by a man named Goden, who belongs to the center of the Tembris party, from memories that have flowed in.

I could sympathize deeply with those words.

If the Them Bris party in her memories is formed as it is, there will be no one weaker than her runaway.

Because the boy in her past who said that she was weak has managed to subdue himself more surely than anyone else.

Slowly, Junon’s hand was placed back on the bed.

Recalling the pleasant sensation of warm magical energy flowing from her wrist, Charlotte stepped out of Junon’s hospital room.

***

My whole body throbs.

I feel like I’ve been hit with a club every fifty times.

Concentrating on transferring mana, I had to confront Charlotte head-on without using my own magic… It’s not strange that my body screamed like this.

It’s because I can’t do anything because I’m sick.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a white ceiling. In my experience, this would be a hospital.

Is there anyone who can help? I’ll wake up alone and see for myself what happened.

But my body doesn’t follow me.

“Junon! You’re finally awake!”

“Ugh…”

“Don’t push yourself too hard. How did you get hurt like that…”

I wondered if Professor Jake had come to nag again, but this voice belonged to a female student no matter how you look at it.

She is that female student whom I have often heard about lately. She was with Sylvia in the hospital room where she expected no one to come.

“Oh, that’s not it, I was resting well. Did I wake you up…? Mi, sorry.”

“It’s not like that… Kek, kek…”

She tried to tell Sylvia that she wasn’t your fault, but a feeling of drought ran down her throat.

I don’t think I can do it if I try to force it.

“Look at my sanity…! I’ll give you some water.”

Sylvia took her water cup and poured it without a problem, but unfortunately I didn’t have the strength of her arm to hold it.

Sylvia looked at it and wondered what she was going to do.

“…Excuse me for a second.”

She got up from her chair and bent over her back with her face showing that she had made a decision.

‘Sylvia… I can’t believe it…’

I was trying to help her, knowing that my body couldn’t move.

I want to say it’s okay, but… I couldn’t say it was okay even with empty words. Her body did not move as if it had become a stone statue.

Sylvia put one of her arms behind her on the pillow, grabbed her by the other shoulder, and whimpered and lifted her upper body up.

Her skillfully raised body was completed with a pillow as her backrest, and with her help to the end, she was finally able to drink a sip of holy water.

“Thank you. I think I’ll buy some.”

“No… What kind of stuff…”

It may not seem like a big deal, but I couldn’t help but be grateful for coming to see me in the hospital and taking care of me.

“More than that, Junon. How did you get so hurt…?”

Sylvia must have seen how I came.

Perhaps, it means that it was reported to the faculty during the evaluation test at the beginning of the semester and brought in.

“Well… Something like that happened.”

Thankfully, Sylvia said, she let out a slightly downcast voice before she passed on without saying anything.

Instead, she reached into her bag and seemed to be searching for something…

Crunch Square-

The sound of something being cut resonates in the hospital room, and in the hospital room, where there is nothing to see, the eyes will naturally turn there.

Appetizingly well-ripe apple peels off thinly, revealing bright yellow flesh.

“…An apple?”

“Yes. I’m going to give it to you. You haven’t eaten anything.”

“What are you talking about? It’s been less than three hours since we had lunch together.”

Looking at the clock, it was 3:46, 1 hour and 46 minutes after the test started.

It was around 12:30 when I had lunch with Sylvia while talking.

She didn’t think she was particularly hungry… Her mouth watered when she saw the apple. Why?

“I see… You may not know. I hadn’t even thought about that.”

Didn’t you think that far? What are you talking about?

Sylvia cut her apples neatly and put her fruit on the table to one side.

I took a fork and poked it at the apples that were laid out neatly on the plate.

“You’ve been asleep for two days, not a day since you were brought there.”

“What…?”

At this time pointing to 3:46, it was said that two days had already passed.

“You don’t know how thin you are in just two days?”

When Sylvia took out one of her small hand mirrors and showed it to me, she was able to see my face only then.

The cheeks are drawn in. Is this a human or a skeleton? Seriously, that’s not a stupid thing to say.

Besides, I didn’t expect that a common piece of apple would make me want to eat it so much.

I wondered if I had no strength because I was sick, but I never thought it was because I didn’t eat anything.

“Come on. You can’t move anyway.”

“Thank you very much. I’ll return it next time.”

“Oh, no…! In return, what… Considering what I did to you…”

“I will eat well.”

Do we need to talk about the old days anymore?

It was in that context that I interrupted Sylvia.

Then she slowly scooped up the apples she had cut into bite-sized pieces without saying anything.

I ate one apple before I knew it, and I took out another one and started shaving it.

At first, she cut her hand because she couldn’t even cut her knife properly.

Thanks to that, it was fun to teach Sylvia something.

It seemed that various expressions would emerge from that face now.

With that expression you see every time, she was like a doll repeating the same words over and over again.

She knows how to admit her mistakes to others.

Seeing that he accepts me as a friend and visits me even though I don’t have much to do, I think he’s changed really well.

“Why, why do you look like that…?”

Oops, it looked like he was staring too hard. Excuse me for this.

I hurriedly turned my gaze to the apple.

“I was just watching you peel apples.”

“Because I’m still immature, I can’t shave as fast as you. Just wait a bit and I’ll shave right away.”

“I’m not rushing you. I just thought… I’d be bored if I was alone.”

Sylvia’s hands, which had been slicing her apples for a moment, stopped and her eyes widened.

It was only for a moment, but she had something to say, but she seemed timid and had a hard time getting her words out.

I just said that if you have something to say, feel free to say it.

“Then… Can I come over tomorrow too?”

“I’ll be grateful if you come to visit me… Are you okay?”

“Of course! I’ll bring you something more delicious tomorrow. Instead… Satisfy yourself with this today.”

Sylvia smiled brightly, wiped her knife well with her handkerchief, inserted her sheath, and tossed it into her bag.

She felt a bit sorry that Sylvia suddenly became the person who took care of me, and that she was.

Would be a waste of time. When she said that, she said that Sylvia had nothing to do with her anyway. As if she didn’t care, she let it go.

“This might be a little hot. Whoo- whoo-.”

After confirming that there was no problem after eating the apple, she seems to have saved the money she had earned the other day, bought only the ingredients, and cooked the porridge herself.

To be able to eat even homemade rice… I really need to return it properly next time.

After a mealtime where she relied on Sylvia to get her nutrition, her guests came.

“Looks like you’re done eating, can you excuse me for a second?”

“Professor Meuniher…?”

It was Professor Meuniher and Charlotte following him.

***

Junon, Charlotte. How the two were discovered.

There was Junon who fell covered in blood and Charlotte who seemed to be covered in his blood.

Witnesses Noel and John testified that Charlotte attacked Junon after he ate the hearts of the rats.

Goden, Michelle, Senia, and Erica, who were other witnesses, came too late to report the situation.

According to Erica’s report, although it’s a little strange, the wounds on Junon’s body had Charlotte’s magical power.

And Charlotte didn’t give her any excuses and she admitted it cleanly.

-‘I don’t know why… It’s definitely something I did. If it’s a punishment, I’ll accept it sweetly.’

I am Professor Meuniher, who has seen the sinners evading me.

There must be a reason why sinners admit their sins so easily.

There was too little information about what happened at the scene, so we had no choice but to ask the people concerned.

So I made this decision.

“It’s hard to punish just listening to one side. So why don’t you go and talk about it yourself?”

“Yeah…? If I did, I might run amok again…”

“No, even though you acted so violently, I have a guess. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to have an interview with only her Magical Binding Orb on.”

On the condition that he accompany him instead.

Professor Meuniher allowed a three-way meeting while saying that.

I came to his hospital room before I knew it. But somehow, the door was open.

“Hey… Can I wait a minute before going in…?”

Professor Meuniher nodded his head with a look of surprise.

‘Who came…?’

Charlotte looked at him in her hospital room as she stuck her head out nervously.

As expected, Junon wasn’t the only one in the hospital room.

“It’s not tasty…? It’s my first time cooking… If it’s not too tasty, you can just spit it out.”

“No. I was rather surprised by how well it was made.”

“So…? Ahahahaha… That’s good.”

It was a female student.

It’s closer to a quiet and mature side than a lively or energetic image.

Rather than my bun hair, which was tied up in the way of nobles, my straight hair that looked like it was completely untied and the doll-like appearance matched it perfectly.

You may not be able to see it from the front, but when you look at it from the back, it looks like it’s blushing a lot.

But what’s the point?

I can’t even approach Junon easily.

I’m afraid I’ll change like that and hurt him. Even though he was wearing a magic restraint, he was anxious about every single thing.

‘I’m glad though.’

I was anxious about what to do if no one came to visit me.

At least, those who were by Junon’s side must have recognized his true worth.

That girl… No. Charlotte was relieved that someone named Sylvia would be able to help Junon.

I expressed my gratitude to Sylvia, who raised Junon’s motionless body and brought food slowly, mouth by mouth, starting with easily digestible fruits.

How much time has passed. Professor Meuniher lowers her voice and asks Charlotte.

“Hmm, I’m about to go in now. Are you going to wait any longer? It’s fine to just listen outside.”

“…”

Professor Meuniher is watching from outside the hospital room, so Charlotte can’t wait any longer.

With the magic restraints filled and Professor Meuniher by his side, this might be the last chance to face Junon. So.

“No. I’ll follow you.”

Going back to being a child, I try to be a little greedy.
