The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard

12. The Crucible (3)

It’s already been 3 weeks since I entered the ordeal.

“Schmitz, eat some more. A man’s son.”

“There is something wrong with Choji-san’s diet. If you keep eating like that, you will soon reach a critical mass.”

“hot. Baby, it’s seasoned, so it’s all full of vegetables, right? It’s not that hard to get fat by cutting grass.”

“Have you forgotten that cows are also herbivores?”

“… I mean, only my mouth is alive.”

Me, Choji, and Silence Soser were eating lunch as usual.

Before I knew it, the daily life of the three of us continued.

Because Choji-san is in charge of me from the beginning, but…

“Come to think of it, isn’t there a separate monk in charge of silence?”

“… I just decided to take it.”

Choji responded with an expressionless face and pushed the rice into his mouth.

Even if you look around, you will find that one monk and one middle school student are paired up.

It wasn’t like we had two monks attached to one monk.

Maybe Choji is ticklish, but maybe he’ll take care of the silencer…

“Damn it, he took care of me… ”

… Listening to the quiet murmuring, I don’t think it’s such a good story.

Perhaps the monk in charge of the silence was entrusted to Choji.

Well, even though Choji likes tradition, he just hates troublesome things.

‘Well, he’s more naive than I thought.’

Choji is a man with the appearance of a gangster and the build of a bear.

However, there is a heart that values and cares for the tradition of the ordeal more than anyone else.

Did you say that when he was a real gangster, he was blessed by the history of the ordeal and became a refugee?

Anyway, she has a softer and kinder heart than her appearance, but…

I couldn’t let go of my old habits, and sometimes I frowned terribly.

In this way, I was able to roughly recognize what kind of person Choji was.

But-

“… … ”

Even now, she is quietly chewing and eating.

I couldn’t get a sense of who the hell Sozer was or what kind of person he was.

I thought she was a nun, but it’s also the fact that she’s just a middle school student who shaves her head.

It’s a feminine face, but the body part that stands out… It’s also the fact that I don’t know the gender because I don’t have one.

If it was a unique character like this, it would have been recognized in the game, but it’s not that.

‘Is it really just one of the unusual NPCs?’

No matter how hard I tried to wrap my head around it, no one came to mind.

… The most probable thing is.

‘Koyono Torino, the heroine of the game ＜Party to Savior＞.’

Of course, Erral de Arlott was not the only heroine in this game.

Five ‘main heroines’ who are in charge of the big axis of the game

One of them was Torino Koyono.

Why is her name suddenly appearing?

‘… Koyono’s hometown was probably Heirin City.’

As you can guess from the Japanese name, she is from Heirin City.

Koyono was recognized for her amazing skills and became a warrior protecting the son of the lord of the castle at a young age.

However, he couldn’t protect the son of the castle lord with his arrogance, so he was kicked out of the castle.

After that, he enters the academy and connects with the main character, that kind of character.

Well, there were plenty of clues that Silence Sojourner wasn’t Koyono.

First of all, I had never heard of the setting that she was in the ordeal.

Of course, it was not possible to know all the information before entering the academy, but what is certain is that it is unknown information.

‘Certainly… ‘

I checked the clothes of the silent Sojeo who was eating.

Specifically, her top.

Bulging of the thorax though through the collar.

Her swelling was flat, no different from that of a man.

This was the decisive proof that she was not Koyono.

Because she…

Because she was a heroine with the strongest ‘mid’ in the game ＜Party to Savior＞.

“… .”

“… Schmitz, where are you looking at?”

“Kuhm… !”

The thought went too long.

Looking at it from the side, it is a situation that can be mistaken for sending a hot gaze to the silent Sojeo.

I hurriedly hit the hand.

“I just thought I was eating really well. never like that… ”

“Well, it can be.”

Choji gave a sly smile.

“Aren’t you a man in his prime? haha!”

“… no.”

“It’s hard to be salty… A strong negative is a strong positive, haven’t you heard of it?”

Choji is passionate about teasing him as if he has caught his weakness.

It seems like just yesterday that I was embarrassed for giving me the orb of trial by mistake…

As I was arguing with him in the middle of the day, the silent figure came into my eyes.

“… … ”

She quietly covered her chest and lowered her head.

The two small ears of the silencer were burning red.

“Ha ha ha! No matter how urgent it is, the eyes meet in the middle of the temple!”

Choji laughs like he’s dying.

Unable to bear the sight of him, I left the place as it was, and the incident was over.

* * *

“… I couldn’t have imagined that you’d already come all the way to the basement of the training hall.”

After eating, I headed to the basement of the training building with Choji.

Unlike the first floor, which was full of heat, the basement was shady and cool.

“You are the first person to take on the 8-step ordeal in one month. All on the first try.”

“Thanks to someone, I overcame the 4th level ordeal from the beginning.”

“… Heck, go in.”

Choji opened the door to the huge room.

It was a pupil the size of a tolerable classroom.

And in the center, a solemn statue of a golem greeted us.

“This is the 8th training. By pouring energy into the center of the stone statue, the ordeal begins.”

Choji explained in detail the meaning and method of the ordeal…

It was not very necessary information for me, who had cleared it countless times through the game.

The 8th stage of the ordeal is a battle against a blood-stained Fire Golam.

With the concept of being protected by fire, all damage is reduced to 1, so it becomes a fairly long battle.

In the original game, which was a turn-based game, only builds based on physical strength or shields that could withstand a long battle were effective…

Right now, I have information about speed and attack patterns that I can see.

‘Because it’s enough to avoid the slow golem’s attack pattern.’

“Then, start the trial when it’s convenient.”

“Is Choji-san here?”

“No, I’m going to go out when you’re ready mentally. It’s a rule to face trials alone.”

“…then you should leave right now.”

I approached the golem without the slightest hesitation and let go of a little energy.

The cracks in the hardened golem fragments began to glow and come to life.

“…Good luck.”

Choji left the pupil with a heavy voice, and the ordeal finally began.

* * *

“… I never thought I’d be able to clear the 8th level in one fell swoop.”

“Shit… I’m impressed, so please treat me quickly.”

I was lying sprawled in the underground cave room, wheezing.

The golem’s attack was faster than expected.

If I hadn’t known the pattern, I would have fallen into a pit of fire.

Choji was constantly reciting recovery chanting for me who was struggling…

Silence Sozer was staring at him from the side.

“… Why did the silencer come here?”

“I thought he wanted to see you because he kept following me without saying anything.”

“You’re kidding too much.”

“No kidding. right?”

nod

Silence Sozer nodded once without saying a word.

For some reason, she was the one who kept stepping on her eyes from the last time.

I have no idea what you’re thinking… it all means

‘Two steps forward.’

The heavy step he had taken for Arlott quickly reached eight steps.

It was unreasonable to say that the process was just resting, but…

It is true that I had some fun based on the information in the game.

‘The problem is step 10… ‘

The motive of the trials given in the ordeal history is ‘confidence offering’…

That’s why the 10th stage of the ordeal is completed by really setting fire to the body and enduring this pain.

In the game, this was implemented in the form of enduring the given dot damage for a certain period of time.

In fact, as long as his stats are above a certain level, he’s a guy who didn’t have any major difficulties in clearing.

You can hear the eastern half of the second half, a simple ordeal that you just have to get in passing.

But now my specs are at a level where I can’t even enter the academy, let alone the second half of the game.

‘… The trick should work.’

An object secretly taken from the Grand Duke of the North’s house.

That should make up for the lack of stats.

As I was laying down and organizing my thoughts, I heard an unbelievable voice.

“… there.”

“?”

“Say… I did it?”

Silent Sojeo, who didn’t even know if he was male or female… A clear, sweet voice flowed from his mouth.

When Choji and I heard her voice, we stared blankly at each other in amazement.

“… I have a question.”

Silence.

A sad, bright gaze followed.

What kind of wind had blown from her, who had been silent for several months?

I couldn’t know all of them, but I was sure of one thing.

It was my feeling as a gamer that she would help Arlot and me, and furthermore, clear the game.

Perhaps it was because he felt an unusual atmosphere, Choji hurriedly finished his treatment and left.

I got up from my still throbbing body and barely sat down,

Even the silent Sojeo knelt down in front of me.

And she opened her mouth.
