Madman in a Fantasy World

104. Survival (2)

“That’s why Tia runs around asking for bugs to be shaken off…”

It’s been 2 hours since the survival started.

After joining Arthur right after the start, she felt like covering her ears because of Arthur who kept talking next to her.

He continues to talk about the training he has been doing so far, or the anecdotes of dating other girls like Tia and Stella, but to be honest, he doesn’t care and it’s just noisy.

In a world where polygamy is possible, Arthur’s purpose at first glance seems to be to have multiple women.

Even if the foundation is not good enough for that, it is too bad. What do you think about talking about a date with another woman when you are alone with a girl?

‘Have you ever learned about love from a book…?’

When I was looking for information in the library, I remembered a few things because I had read all the books that were not there.

Things like ‘how to win favor with the opposite sex’ or ‘100 ways to be a great man’.

I read it on a whim, but I never imagined that anyone would try to write it in real life.

What Arthur is doing is trying to boast that he has a lot of girls, that he is this popular, that he will sell out if he doesn’t catch it soon. If it’s not that, it’s just stupidly talking about both legs.

Well, it might have worked if it was another woman, but the problem was that there was not even a speck of love to give to a person named Arthur in her heart.

Richie listened to Arthur’s words with one ear and let it out with the other, and even in the midst of that, he pondered over the hint Luke had given him.

In the meantime, looking back on my conversation with Luke, there is something that came to my mind belatedly.

Even though Arthur is a person from this world on the outside, on the inside he is a person from another world like Luke.

will be.

Originally, Liche did not believe in God, but if Luke’s words were true, who else could do such a thing other than God?

And if there is a God, why did he put such a strange guy into Arthur’s body while leaving a normal person behind?

‘Is the original Arthur also like that…?’

no… it won’t be If he had a personality like that, there’s no way I would have liked him.

Richie vehemently denied it.

There was only one reason why she joined Arthur, whom she hated so much.

to use him.

Blood Moon, Magical Exhaustion, Arthur. These were the three hints Luke gave.

This was a hint of the information that Hex would appear during this survival practice, and just because Arthur was in it meant that he was intertwined with himself.

‘Come to think of it… Arthur also said he knew.’

Luke was like that. There is someone who will give you all your liver and gallbladder if you ask for it. And that was Arthur, and since he is also a possessor like Luke, he knows everything about what he is curious about.

Come to think of it, it’s disgusting. You know the information you need the most, and you want to get your crush, but you don’t tell me exactly that and hide it.

I wouldn’t know if I didn’t know until the end, but since I already knew the truth, it feels more disgusting.

‘Should I ask you one more time?’

I didn’t even think to ask because I was avoiding it until now.

Originally, if it was his personality, he did not choose the means and methods for the purpose. It should have been normal even after asking, but to the point of avoiding even myself. In a way, it’s really great.

“So while I bought you a hairpin…”

“Hey.”

“Huh? Why? Is there anything you didn’t understand?”

No, I’m not curious about any of that.

“Do you know what a hex is?”

“·······.”

I just floated. do you know Then, his mouth, which had been talking well until just now, was closed tightly.

Seeing the reaction, I couldn’t help but notice.

Oh, I have no intention of telling him. I honestly didn’t even expect it. If I were going to tell you, I would have told you earlier, because I already knew anyway.

“That, well? What is that? I think I’m hearing this for the first time?”

He lied with a clumsy expression.

Was it because he couldn’t lie like that in the first place, or because he was embarrassed by an unexpected topic?

Luke would have just told me.

Although he gets a lot of trouble, he didn’t hide it.

Even if the hint he gave this time wouldn’t have been a word if it had been Arthur, he did try to find out somehow.

“But why? Oh, not that I know, just curious.”

His expression was ‘Is there anything I can do to help?’ It looked like he was saying.

Help me? come now? Even if you knew everything, you have remained ignorant, and now pretending to help is just hypocrisy.

I didn’t like that pretentious expression, so I tried to frown.

She deliberately brought up the words to prevent her brow from furrowing unintentionally.

“···Nothing.”

You can just say that you know everything because you’ve already heard from Luke here, and then reprimand him for deliberately hiding the information. To want to gain one’s favor, but to deliberately hide information and act hypocritical when showing good intentions isn’t enough.

The reason she evaded it was because she was thinking of taking advantage of Arthur.

As much as he hides, he hides everything he knows.

And I’ll use it as much as I’ve been deceived.

‘It’s quite usable… personality education.’

If it was like before, I would have followed it if I gave you information, but not now.

It is a big mistake to think that the other party has information.

The great power and information that an idiot has is perfect for being used, so if the opponent is on top, it’s enough to be on top.

“Forget what I just said. Let’s find the others quickly.”

“Okay… 100 million?!”

Arthur, who was walking in front of him, suddenly fell over.

And in a very unnatural position.

“···what are you doing?”

“Ugh… I’m sorry. I think I tripped.”

“Haa… So, look ahead and walk.”

she said in a pitiful tone.

Arthur said he was walking while talking to Richie, and he was walking backwards while looking at Richie.

Isn’t it natural to fall down if you walk like that with your eyes in front of you?

“Uh, uh. Okay…”

He looked back with a sullen expression.

The atmosphere that had been good until just now collapsed on the floor in an instant.

Arthur was the only one who felt good in the first place.

Just then, when Richie thought that she should quickly join Tia and Stella and prepare for dinner.

“Eww?!”

Arthur, who was walking well, fell again.

This time, I was walking properly while looking ahead.

“… are you doing this on purpose?”

Is it a body twist to relieve the heavy atmosphere?

Don’t you know that it makes the atmosphere heavier?

She was really trying to say something, but she opened her mouth to Arthur’s plea of injustice and then closed it again.

“Oh no! Someone tripped on my leg! Richie, you just saw it! I wasn’t walking straight ahead?!”

“You mean the roots of the tree suddenly moved and hung up on your legs?”

I’m going to lie pretty much, but who the hell is saying that the bridge is crossed when all I can see is Arthur and myself in the forest with a clear view of the surroundings.

Rather, it would be more realistic to say that another human possessed his body and fell forcibly.

“It’s true, trust me!”

“…Yes. I will believe you.”

Even if what he said was true, there was no way to prove it, and if he kept talking about it, it would only hurt him, so Richie decided to just think so.

“Haa… that’s true.”

Arthur grumbled, dusted off his pants, and resumed his walk.

Hopefully this time I won’t fall.

However, circumstances turned against her idea.

“100 million!”

once.

“Ah!?”

twice.

“Kwaeek! Mr., who the fuck are you! If you hit the head, you’re definitely a human!”

He didn’t even fall down at the end, he wrapped his head with both hands and swung the sword randomly as if he had been hit in the head.

‘···what?’

This is enough to know that he really didn’t do it on purpose.

Then who?

Could this have something to do with the hex?

‘No… it’s too ordinary for that.’

If it was related to hex, I wouldn’t play such childish pranks.

He’s an attention seeker who doesn’t even like to hide his face, and he prefers ridicule to brute force.

If he had anything to do with him, he would have appeared in front of him and mocked him for asking him to go on a friendly date with his boyfriend.

‘Then another student…?’

Arthur had said that someone tripped on their feet.

If that’s the case, it means that you’ve been hanging around all the time.

Just in case, Richie widened his senses as much as possible.

Then, I felt the presence of a person I hadn’t known before.

If you were this close, you might have noticed whether you used an artifact or a magic tool, but I guess you didn’t know that you were thinking about something else.

The number of people is three.

I don’t know who it is, but I’m hiding my body in some way.

Having figured out their location, Richie couldn’t help but be nervous.

‘······!’

Because they were right in front of Arthur and himself.

Had they made up their mind to attack, the victory would have been long overdue.

‘Did someone hide an artifact or magic tool and bring it?’

No, not a student.

As a student, you can’t do something so mocking.

I’m the chief, but I can’t surprise the chief, but if I get caught doing something mocking like that, I’ll go back to nothing.

If so, who the heck is it…?

Arthur continued to complain of pain while Richie was vigilant and worried.

“Oops! The bone was hit!”

“Sir, why the fuck do you only have me!”

They attacked only Arthur with strange persistence.

‘wait a minute···.’

three assailants.

The person next to him is a folding screen and only attacks Arthur persistently.

Not that it hurts, but painfully enough to be harassed.

‘Come to think of it, I heard that professors are hiding here and there on the island…’

The attack aimed only at the professor, three of them, and Arthur.

And she happened to know the person with whom she had all these things in common.

“no way···?”
