10 minutes later.

Sitting on the sofa, we continued our earlier conversation.

Youre asking me why we had to change our location to the living room? I dont wish to have heart-to-heart talk in the bathroom with two men, you know?

Although theres the question about Shirs gender, however, since I had always been treating him as a guy, its impossible to change my mindset this suddenly.

Im not those characters in several unchaste anime, where they would do some indecent things the moment their friends turn into girls.

Arent you afraid they might suddenly turn back while in the midst of doing that? You would definitely be scarred for the rest of your life, to the point where your thing would never ever stand up again.

Of course, if you were to tell me that you wouldnt mind if that happened, then I only have these few words for you Lucifers World welcomes you, please, step forward.

Speaking of which, I didnt exactly see the structure of Shirs body clearly in the bathroom. If it was a womans, then I would be safe even if I did see it clearly Otherwise if theres nothing in this world I could wash my eyes with, then I will definitely be in danger.

Umm I

Alright, alright. I know what youre trying to say. Dont worry. I wont treat you as a monster for something like this.

After all, Im a type of monster as well.

And I wont pursue why or how you became like that. Whenever youre comfortable in telling me, then I will gladly listen.

Since you told me your situation, no matter how I see it, this might turn into a main or side quest. Well, this will be made known later.

Conditions achieved.

Hidden Quest Unlocked: Unknown Magic

Requirements:

1. Build a better relationship with a possessor of an Unique Magic spell.

2. Find out about the origins of the Unique Magic spell.

3. Trigger a plotline related to the magic spell.

Reward(s): Learn an Unique magic spell.

As I expected, a new quest suddenly appeared. After glancing it through, I pushed the screen aside.

But why did you decide to tell me this? And

And you actually rushed into the bathroom Was your morality eaten by a stray dog? However, looking at his expression, I decided to stop and listen to his explanation.

Because Since Fir became my friend, I find that its best if I tell you about my situation as early as possible. Otherwise, it wouldnt be appropriate if I keep hiding this from you.

This is really agonizing. Hes really dealing a blow to my conscience. Now I wouldnt be able to sleep if I dont reveal a few of my secrets.

However

Which of my secrets could be revealed?

I come from another world?

Im not human?

Or the fact that I can use every types of skills?

It seems that Im only able to reveal the last one. If I were to reveal the first two, someone might capture me and dissect my body for experimentation.

Speaking of which, although humans do not hate the other races on the surface, however, their interaction with other races are only to obtain labor and their resources.

Although its rather understandable, especially in this world where wars could break out at any time, its rather pointless to talk about ethics

Who am I joking, right?

Alright alright, Shir, its fine if you just treat yourself as a human being.

I grabbed onto his shoulder and continued.

Im your friend, so dont mind about it. Or, are you telling me something bad might happen to me just because you have some special features in the body, or just because youre immortal?

This I dont know I just feel that

I already told you to not mind about it.

I released him, and slapped his shoulder.

Lets have an early rest tonight. Although I did have a good bath, Im still feeling a little tired.

I didnt just say that casually. I have been staring at the fatigue meter below my MP bar for quite a while. Even though the bar was almost filled during the bath, in the end, it stopped filling up when Shir scared me with his antics.

For now, I could only think of bathing and sleeping which could fill up my fatigue meter, so its necessary to have an early rest.

Then please sleep on the bed.

Eh?

Shir, what did you just say?

Theres no need. Umm Im fine with sleeping on the sofa.

Why! As I thought, Fir, you despise my non-human body right?

No, no, thats not it. Your non-human body isnt the point. The point The point is that youre a noble and Im not.

I already said its fine! So you actually care about our status differences now?

And I dont even know your actual gender. If youre actually a girl, it wouldnt be fine for us to be sleeping on the same bed, right?

If youre a guy, my soul will definitely be retrieved by Lucifer!

Although this person is a guy, hes actually shorter than Falan and the other girls. Adding his oddly pale skin, if he was to wear a wig, it would be impossible to distinguish his gender a trap loli?

Not good, my soul was almost taken by Lucifer at that moment, that was dangerous!

My mind was actually filled with images of him wearing girls clothes, and I was almost entranced by them!

Oh god, were some pieces of my soul already taken by Lucifer?

Dont worry

When I was deep in my thoughts for only a moment, this guy actually hugged me from the front.

Because Because Fir is the first person I know that said he wouldnt mind when he saw my grotesque body Whatever the case, please do not hate me

After hearing this, my body trembled for a bit. Originally, I planned on pushing him away, but my hands stopped in the air.

If only you didnt exist

A memory suddenly flashed in my mind. Although it was in a blur, but this sentence was unbelievably clear.

Did someone say this to me? Why did it feel as if I was stabbed in the heart when I recalled these words?

This should be one of my many forgotten memories, why did it suddenly reappear?

I looked at Shir who was hugging me, and saw that his face was filled with tears.

Unless This guy has always been hated?

Just because he has a weird body?

If only someone like you didnt exist

This sentence once again flashed in my mind, and my heart began to feel a piercing pain once again.

So painful Why? Was I like him before?

Were we abandoned by the ones we love?

My hands slowly fell, and I hugged him back.

Dont worry, I will never abandon anyone.

Really?

Of course.

Haa Geez, to think someone that has a lower level than him is actually comforting him.

However, do you mind releasing me? Even if both of us are guys, hugging like this is

Ah, sorry.

Shir released me, and rubbed the tears in his eyes.

Being able to hear Fir say that Im really glad.

Hai I shall state this first, Im not homo.

Homo?

Nothing, dont mind it. Now then, go to sleep!

Alright~

Shir very obediently ran over to the bed.

I rubbed between my eyebrows. Why do I feel like I turned into his father?

Open the door! Hurry! This princess order you to open the door this instant!

When I woke up in the morning, I thought I was hallucinating.

A princess is knocking on the door?

Ignoring the If you dont listen to me warnings, Shir still ended up hugging me to sleep. I leaped out of bed and opened the door.

However, the moment I opened it, I was shocked.

Mi Princess Michelle?

I recognized the visitor at first glance. How? That pair of spiraling blue twin-tails very obviously told me her identity. And shes the first and only person I knew who would wear such a troublesome hairstyle in the two worlds.

Twintails No. Princess Michelle, why are you here?

What? Do you feel troubled seeing me here?

Why would I dare to? Which commoner would have such a disrespectful thought when he sees you, princess?

I think youre already pretty disrespectful enough. Regular people would have kneeled down the moment they see me.

Thats why, since were friends, do you mind forgiving me?

Hmph. If you didnt unhesitatingly rushed over to save me that time, why would I even bother with you

Michelle suddenly muttered something softly.

Um, what did you just say?

Nothing! Alright, hurry and let me in. You better thank me! After all, I came this early in the morning, and I brought you breakfast as well!

After saying that, she rushed into room through the gap between me and the door.

Hey Shir is not up yet

Before I could finish, this girl actually started shouting again.

This Who is this!?

Of course, she was referring to Shir.

As I thought, Shir was at a loss as he looked at Princess Michelle, and then they both looked towards me.

This is Shir! Hes the Wind Class

You What! Youre actually interested in guys!?

Youre the one interested in guys! Wait, no, you should indeed be interested in guys. My point is, I didnt have any place to stay, and Shir allowed me to live in his room for the night. Im not interested in guys at all! I already said Im not homo!

Hmph, I will believe you for now.

Speaking of which, why are you here? Arent there only 30 slots for this exercise? And didnt you say this exercise wasnt safe?

About that, because I heard that you actually formed a party with that water type girl, and since she brought a bodyguard along, I could come here without worries.

You are pretty well-informed But wouldnt we now have 31 students for this exercise?

Although I did notice that there werent just 30 people when we got down from the airship.

Alright, I will tell you the truth. This live exercise has ended. I came over with the investigation team to check whether youre alive. After all, youre my important partner!

Wait The live exercise ended?

Yep!

Princess Michelle fiercely nodded.

Last night, four Lightning students, three Earth students, and five Plant students were killed without the teachers noticing. And other than the bloodstains left on the ground, there were nothing else left at the scenes.

Ki Killed

I took in a deep breath.

Although it might be possible to resurrect myself, but to inhabitants of this world, they are definitely unable to resurrect after they die.

And in a single night, 12 students from the same school died. I could not help but be serious about this matter.
