I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game Chapter 610

610. [Side Story] School days (2)

“But Hecate. You…”

Lucas replied shyly.

“You are a man.”

“…?”

Silence passed.

Not only Hecate, but all the cadets who were watching missed the flow of the conversation and blinked their eyes blankly. Ash’s jaw dropped as he chewed on the candy.

Hecate, who had been lost for a moment, stammered and asked back.

“…what? what?”

“So…”

Lucas scratched the back of his head shyly.

“I consider you a good friend and a great prosecutor, but I can’t accept a man’s confession…”

“No no! for a moment. wait for a sec!”

Trembling, Hecate pointed at herself.

“Who is the man?”

“…you…?”

“Wherever I look, he’s a man, he’s a crazy bastard!”

Beyond Hecate’s fine lips, curse words finally came out.

Lucas tilted his head curiously.

“Aren’t you a man?”

“Of course she’s a woman, you already crazy!”

“Is the identity of a woman… Of course, as a friend, I would respect that…

”

Hecate has a straight physique and tight muscles, so he has short hair and a melancholic expression, fearing that it might interfere with swordsmanship training. Several points overlapped to exude a neutral charm.

…It made Lucas, who had been with him for six years, misunderstood.

called male.

“No, it’s just that Lucas is a legend and doesn’t seem to care…”

Ash murmured.

Before he knew it, the cadets around him were taking the candies in his hand and putting them in their mouths one by one. It was so exciting that I couldn’t stop.

“Hecate, you’re a woman… it can’t be…”

Lucas, who stuttered in disbelief, recalled the past with a gasp.

“Then why did you go to the bathroom separately every time?”

“Didn’t you ever think that was weird?!”

“When the three of us went to the river or the sea to play, why didn’t we take off our shirts alone…?”

“Please pay attention! Pay attention at that point!”

“Can’t it be that I was sick once a month…?”

“I don’t have to say that, no…!”

I looked at Hecate, who was glaring at me with teary eyes and shivering shoulders.

Lucas belatedly clapped! hit and shouted

“My God, crazy world. Hecate!”

“why?!”

“You were a woman?!”

In response to Lucas’ words that he had not seen himself as a member of the opposite sex, let alone a love object.

“Die!”

Hecate finally went berserk.

He began beating Lucas with the scabbard he had put his sword into.

Lucas also tried to fight back with a scabbard, but he couldn’t stand it when Hecate, who was naturally ahead of him, attacked with desperate rage. In the end, the dark history of the day, which was later named the ‘369th Graduation Ceremony Confession Massacre’, came to an end when Lucas, beaten

all

over, was taken to the infirmary…

Looking at the escort knights being carried away, Ash muttered this and then stuffed the remaining candy into his mouth.

Then, squatting on the floor, she looked around at the crying Hecate and the cadets trying to soothe her, laughing and muttering softly.

“I’m sure you’ll miss it. My last school days…”

The prince slowly inhaled as the sun beat down on his closed eyelids.

The innocence of boys and girls, the sound of laughter from students, and the shouts of teachers running in surprise… The old air of the campus

, which I’m fed up with now, but which I will cherish later, and

which I will never be able to breathe again.

“I will miss you.”

***

Current.

Lucas, recalling what happened at the graduation ceremony, let out a sigh.

“No, how can you be sober in accepting the confession of a friend who you thought was of the same sex until just yesterday

…

” Bastard, I should have guessed this when I was being silly sometimes, but it’s really awesome in the weird part! There is nothing but admiration!

“Because I only cared about my lord’s security and the improvement of my swordsmanship skills. Yes, Hecate was a good friend.”

“You didn’t see it as the opposite sex at all.”

“That’s right. I wasn’t even in a situation where I was going to date someone…”

“Stupid bastard…”

Will you date someone later if you’re not aware of this side? Aren’t you going to work alone for the rest of your life?

‘No no. Opposite. Since he’s the main character, he doesn’t care

about this side…’ If being oblivious to the love line is a condition for a classic protagonist, Lucas might just be faithful to that condition. This is why the main character is…

Anyway, Evangeline, who heard about the amazing past, expressed her impressions with an admiring face.

“I never thought Uncle Lucas had such an amazing youth. It seems like he’s lived a life of love and love… It’s such a boring face.”

Lucas was furious.

“Did I say that I had a boring face…?”

“It’s a thin mask that’s so straight that it doesn’t even stain. It’s no fun.”

At Evangeline’s words, the rest of the members nodded their heads. Junior and Damian spoke in turn.

“Certainly… If you look at your face, you must have lived a straight life without a single wrinkle. There were a lot of unexpectedly colorful things, right?”

“Somehow, I suddenly have a feeling of closeness to Sir Lucas! lol.”

It seems that the prejudice against Lucas, who has been pretending to be a proud perfect driver, has collapsed. Junior and Damian smiled warmly.

“…”

Lucas’s face became even more dingy at the unexpected disclosure of his dark history. What is this, your original sin?

‘By the way, it’s a dark history with Lucas, but it’s more like a dark history with Hecate…’ He

made a public confession, but he was dumped and even recognized as a man by the other person… What kind of frightening story of youth scars is this?

“…well, it became a story of immature days.”

Big! Clearing his throat and clearing his voice, Lucas stared coldly in the direction Hecate disappeared.

“Hecate’s talents and skills are real. Because I never won a game when I was in school.”

It is said that Lucas, who is one of the top SSR-level combat geniuses on the World Defense Front, was overwhelmed throughout his school days, so Hecate’s talent must have been monstrous.

Besides, as soon as I graduated, I was selected for the Glory Knights, and now I am in the position of general manager…

“But.”

Lucas continued in a speculative voice.

“It is different now.”

“Ohh?”

“I have also been trained through practice. Survived sword to sword with monsters in countless myths. No matter what kind of training Hecate has been through, I am confident that I will not lose.”

Lucas nodded seriously.

“The next match will be different from the day of the graduation ceremony.”

“….”

“I will not lose, lord!”

Lucas shouted with a fighting spirit.

No, he was the one who confessed to you anyway. Instead of just thinking about winning in a sword fight, can’t you think of a conversation in a different direction…?

‘Aww, that’s it. it’s okay. My relationship is also difficult, so where should I put it?’

As I turned around thinking about it, Evangeline was looking at Lucas with a subtle expression.

“Hmm.”

“Why are you again?”

“I won’t lose either. To that Hecate.”

“Hoo-oh?”

“I am also the chief of the 375th class. Besides, he graduated early, which even he couldn’t!”

Oh that one…?

Just in case, the thoughts of the two muscle-brain knights are similar. Anyway, Evangeline exhaled speculation and clenched her fists.

“Even if you’re the senior, you won’t lose…!”

“Ohhhh.”

Anyway, it was our crew that was on fire. Junior Damian and I calmly clapped our hands behind the scenes.

“Master, what is the training for the martial arts competition?!”

“Hurry up! I will defeat whoever my opponent is and win!”

I smiled and clapped at those words, then looked back at the main party members and shouted.

“Okay, no matter what stones roll in from the ecliptic, let’s clearly show that we are the strongest party here!”

***

That evening.

After special training with Ash, Junior staggered back to his dorm.

“Ugh, I’m tired…”

He’s a wizard who’s weak in using his body, and his stamina is weak.

The special training Ash led was training to move the body immediately in preparation for the battle against the Black Dragon. My whole body was exhausted from running and rolling and running.

‘It’s training to cope with the black dragon’s various wide-area skills…’ I

‘m not sure exactly how this training helps me avoid the black dragon’s attacks.

Anyway, the black dragon’s attack is not as weak as a magician.

However, it is not possible to counter all the attacks of dragons with different outputs with magic. If you can physically avoid it, it makes sense to train.

‘Apart from that… hard is hard…’

Among the 5 members of the main party, Junior had the least stamina, followed by Ash.

Demian, who has been training hard in the meantime, runs well unlike his weak appearance, and the two knights… It hurts to say.

Anyway, Junior and Ash are very tired today. I don’t know, but Ash probably went back to the manor house by now and fell asleep right away.

Junior’s accommodation was at the inn ‘Etty’s Honey’.

The entire management team of the inn moved to Hotel Crossroads, and Ash said he would move Junior’s accommodation there, but Junior refused.

It was difficult to fully rest in such a splendid place, as the sight of the glitter made my eyes wander.

For guests like Junior who feel burdened by the hotel, ‘Etty’s Honey’ was still open and open.

Junior climbed the stairs wearily. I wanted to quickly wash myself with hot water and fall asleep.

‘huh?’

And Junior, who arrived in front of his room, found it belatedly.

Someone was unpacking their luggage in the room in front of him, which was empty.

I tried not to look, but the door was half open. As Junior opened his door with the key, he inadvertently looked there –

our eyes met through the half-open door.

“oh.”

A woman with beige hair and loose, comfortable clothes.

I was confused because the other person was dressed differently than before, but Junior, who managed to recognize the other person, shyly greeted me first.

“Hello… is that Hecate?”

Hecate, the leader of the Glory Knights, was a little taken aback, then smiled brightly.

“hello. I saw him earlier with His Highness, and his name is…”

“This is Jupiter Junior. Call me Junior.”

“aha. Hello Junior.”

An awkward silence passed.

Junior, who was rolling his eyes, stuttered and asked.

“Uh, but why are you here…?”

“haha. Well… the barracks are full and there are no vacancies in the government hotel. Glory Nights decided to stay here temporarily.”

I heard heavy footsteps thumping downstairs. Apparently, the other knights were unpacking their luggage in the rooms on the first floor.

“Uh…”

“Um…”

The two women made a puzzled noise.

The relationship between the two is… what can I say. A friend of a friend of a friend?

It’s not that there isn’t a one-sided relationship, but that’s why it’s a bit far to be close… It was such a delicate relationship.

Junior, who hesitated, eventually said Eight! Swallowing the sound, he held out his hand first.

“Ah, until you move your dorm! How are you? We’re staying in the rooms in front of each other!”

“…”

“Then… We will fight monsters together from now on.”

Hecate blinked quietly, then covered his mouth and laughed.

Then, he reached out his bandaged hand and shook hands with Junior.

“yes. Please take good care of me.”

The world’s awkward handshake is over.

Hecate bowed her head and said, “Yes,” then went back to her room and closed the door.

“…Whoa…”

Junior quickly entered the room and wiped away his uncomfortable chest.

Even though it was not the first time saying hello to someone I was seeing for the first time, it was somehow uncomfortable and awkward.

‘Why? Is it because you are very tall? Or is it because she is too beautiful?’

Junior, who was thinking deeply, tilted his head right after.

‘huh?’

Come to think of it…

‘…a bandage?’

Hecate’s hand was bandaged.

Not a normal bandage, but a special bandage with magic letters engraved on it.

When I recalled a moment ago, it seemed that the bandage was wrapped around not only the hand, but also the wrist… all the way to the inside of the body.

Come to think of it, it seems that there was also a faint smell of blood…

‘…?’

Something like a wizard’s intuition tickled a nerve, but I couldn’t quite figure out what it really was.

‘Is there anything to worry about?’

All sorts of strange people gather on the front lines here. They are wrapped in bandages, so they can’t even wear them.

Junior, who tilted his head, eventually decided to stop paying attention and entered the bathroom.

And time passed like lightning…

The morning of the Autumn Festival was bright.
