Episode 14: The Worst Possible Turn of Events
TL: lime
ED: Spynine01
It seems that I have been exposed to a high level of poison in my body.
However, it seemed to be a poisonous magic that put the person into a temporary state of sickness instead of killing them, and after the high fever began affecting me, Dorothy did various things to try to detoxify it as quickly as possible.
“Yes, a-n~”
She made me soup and fed it to me happily.
“If you’re in pain, just let me know and I’ll stay with you.”
She held my hand when I was in pain.
“Hmm… such a cute sleeping face.”
When I fell asleep, she was still lovingly stroking my forehead.
It seems that she is trying to heal me with detoxification magic.
However, the magic to heal an individual consumes much more magic power than offensive magic, so Dorothy could only continue doing so for an hour.
Even so, I was even more fascinated by her efforts to continue taking care of me.
I want to know more about her.
Weakly, I opened my mouth.
“Why… is Dorothy taking care of…? Someone like me…?”
Dorothy stopped her hand when she was called all of a sudden.
Wide-eyed and with a stunned look on her face, she stumbled over her words for a moment, but didn’t answer right away and instead slowly started telling me a little about herself.
“During my travels, Liza used to tell me stories about you. She said that one day she will come back to your hometown and pick you up. Because she loved you more than anyone else, and because you were kinder than anyone else…”
I knew that she had known about me for a long time but…
“But Liza has forgotten about you, as have all the girls who are around him. She loves Lute like an entirely new person and doesn’t care about anyone else at all. They love him so much that they devoted their lives to him for no real reason whatsoever. And yet, Lute never notices their affection and always hurts them instead… I realized once again that I don’t like that person.”
She squeezed my hand lovingly and continued,
“I loved spending time with Liza, who was talking about you so much, and when she was gone, I felt so empty because I couldn’t listen to her talk about you anymore…….”
Dorothy said with an innocent laugh.
She still smiles at me as happily as she did the day she first spoke to me.
I didn’t know her, but she knew me.
She was trying to get to know me due to that.
Even when I refused to talk to her, she talked to me directly and tried to get to know me since she was so curious.
I don’t want to trample on her feelings anymore.
I decided to accept her honestly from now on.
It was only logical that I should repay Dorothy for trying to heal my grief.
It’s not enough to just be protected by her.
The next day.
Thanks to Dorothy, the poison was gone.
Dorothy jumped on me and hugged me immediately after seeing my condition, it was as if she were reacting to someone who had just come back from the brink of death.
Speaking of which, the competition is still going on even after an entire day.
I don’t think it’s going to end until only one of us survives.
I don’t know what’s going on, there are too little clues about anything.
No, Ms. Maguire said… I believe she called this an exercise.
There are no do-overs in the real thing, and there are no hints either.
That’s why the unexpected can happen suddenly.
When we were moving in the desert area.
Without warning, a group of students surrounded Dorothy and me.
It was as if they had forgotten the concept of a team competition, as I could see that various other groups had united together…
I didn’t even have to ask who the ringleader was, I knew who it was immediately.
It was Lute who stepped forward to represent the whole group.
His face was that of a determined hero, not the usual carefree one he keeps plastered on his face.
“……”
He looked at me as if he was looking at a piece of trash.
No, it wasn’t just him.
The other students were also looking at me with contempt. I didn’t expect that the worst thing I could have really imagined would suddenly occur to us…
———If I look at it objectively, what was about to take place is a fair trial for the villain of the story.
