Episode 115. But why did the dorm end up like this?
‘…… It’s pitiful.’
It was such a thought-provoking sight, but even if I tried to pay attention, I couldn’t take my eyes off it.
No matter how much I tried to turn my nerves off, there was a story I heard from the person who took me in.
‘Watch closely what the children are doing.’
‘Look at me…… ?’
‘It will definitely be a good experience for you.’
It’s a good experience.
Where else can you find a good experience of being disappointed while playing trivial cards, and being in trouble watching it?
‘In the first place, winning or losing is decided only by luck, it is not a game or anything. It would be better for the future to do something more productive by taking the time to spare now…….’
The moment his eyes suddenly opened to Dale.
‘Yes, you are better than me.’
So, don’t settle there and do something useful for yourself.
Why does that boy go to such lengths for that ignorant and ignorant being unlike himself?
“Oh, okay. Then stop playing cards……. Yes chess. How about playing chess?”
“…… Chess?”
“Yeah, because chess doesn’t really require luck.”
Dale pulls out a chessboard without noticing the gaze looking at him from a distance.
However, the girl doll, who already felt betrayed, did not easily fall for the dazzle.
“Maki is not fooled. I don’t know what chess is, but I’m sure I’ll cheat again.”
“It’s okay, unlike card games, chess doesn’t require luck. They take turns moving the horses, so they compete only with each other’s pure skills. Me, I’ve played with the teacher from time to time, but I’ve never felt that it was that unfair.”
“Maki is not an idiot. Having said that, it is certain that he will be defeated in another turn.
“…… Chess isn’t particularly bad.”
‘That’s right, chess isn’t bad.’
Chess is a strategy game that boasts a long history and tradition among those that exist on the continent.
It is so popular that chess competitions are held at academy school festivals, and strategists like my father often use it in duels to determine superiority and inferiority against opponents.
Unlike card games, I also have attachments, so it was never a good thing to disparage it.
“…… Okay, Maki has to learn, so he hangs out just one more time.”
If it’s fortunate, is it fortunate?
After continued persuasion, Dale again began to smile brightly as he settled down in front of the chessboard again.
From Beans’ point of view, a very frustrating smile.
‘To laugh like an idiot even though I caused a lot of trouble… …. Be angry, you.’
My body trembled while watching him explain the rules.
Sometimes self-study took a back seat, but Dale didn’t notice that gaze and only explained to Maki how to move the chess pieces.
“You understand the rules roughly, right? Then let’s start. I think it would be better to learn by watching what I do, so I will go first.”
“I got it.”
Maki quietly stares at moving the chess pawn, unlike when he whined before.
After that, Dale, who advanced his white horse one space, reached out to Maki and said.
“Now, it’s your turn, Maki.”
A signal to pass a turn.
Scary to see that, Maki flashed his eyes and moved his hands quickly.
– Chop! Cheer up!
Hand gestures that feel mechanical yet thrifty.
With him, the chess pieces gathered together, and eventually solidified into one shape and settled on the top of the chess board.
With four legs and two arms.
A fusion body with a grand size like a castle.
“Ha, ha, ha. You’re complacent to be careless with just a few victories, Dale Enburton. Did you think I would play with you again this time?”
“…… Excuse me.”
“I won’t fall twice on the same move. At this moment when you relaxed, I combined all the chess pieces on the field to create the ultimate weapon of war, the Colossus.”
“I don’t play chess like that… ….”
“Shut up human. Chess represents war. Chess pieces are human, and weapons used in war are made by grinding people. It was like that in my time.”
Maki speaks seriously from the perspective of the ancients.
But, of course, the three people here had never experienced that time.
‘What the hell is that tin head saying?’
Beans are dumbfounded.
“…… Hmm.”
Ratel is still watching.
“Ugh, hmm. I know you’re serious.”
Still, Dale tries to convince him somehow.
In an atmosphere where no one restrained himself, Maki, confident in his actions, began to push his chessboard.
“But I am generous, so give it a chance. Dale Enverton, you’re going to do the best you can at me.”
“Uh, uh uh. Huh. Are you sure you can do the same? Uh, like this…… ?”
Soon Dale starts putting chess pieces together, just like Maki.
The moment it formed a certain shape, Maki’s eyes flashed with admiration.
“Is this the Winged Dragon that will stand against the Colossus?”
“A winged dragon? Uh, uh OK, I’ll do that.”
“That’s good, you’re a good match for the Colossus. Come on, Dale Enverton.”
“Oh, oh oh!!”
The two of them are preparing to clash with each other’s works with shouts of cheer.
Beanz, who couldn’t see that, immediately stood up from his seat and shouted at them.
“Chess is not played like that!!!!”
-Charleuk.
Chess pieces pouring out of hands with shouts.
Maki, who was looking at the scattered fragments, began to tilt her head as she saw Beans, who was screaming.
“… Take part in Sky Dragon?”
“I won’t do such childish things!!”
Beanz screams in tears at the cautious question.
As if recognizing that the atmosphere was unusual, Dale put down his chess pieces in embarrassment and began to approach Beans.
“I’m sorry, Beans. Were we too noisy? I’ll be quiet from now on…….”
“That’s not the problem! At least, if you want to compete, you have to be serious!”
Wasn’t competition always meant to compete with each other with a serious mindset?
To Beans, who had believed so strongly, what the two were doing right now felt more than annoyance and an insult.
“Dale Enverton, you… ….”
Especially because the person who did it was someone he recognized.
“No matter how good a person is, why do you go so far with this nonsensical game? Do you have any idea how pitiful what you are doing right now!?”
“How pitiful is that… ….”
“You must tell me that he is treating you like an idiot!”
Beanz pointed at Maki right away.
As if feeling the empathy elicited from the action, Maki put his chin on his chin and nodded.
“I agree. Dale Enverton is crap for a cheater. An idiot who trampled on a girl’s heart…….”
“You keep quiet. I didn’t mean to curse together.”
“Eh? Why?”
An ancient weapon that seems incomprehensible and that does not yet have a high level of understanding of humans…….
But I didn’t like that reaction.
A machine that is far removed from the existence of a human being.
“You… ….”
But isn’t this boy different?
As a human, you should have dignity and pride. You shouldn’t suffer such a loss as to lose yourself in consideration for others.
“You are not supposed to do that.”
Stupid idiot who always expects from people as he pleases, gets disappointed and gets hurt…….
From noble mtl dot com
When I saw such a precarious figure, I could feel the stuffiness in my heart growing.
“If you, who is superior to me, act like that, what am I going to do to beat you even now… ….”
The shouts that had continued with such feelings suddenly cut off at some point.
The moment when even my body, which had been shaking with excitement, stopped.
Dale, who was staring at the beans at the sudden change, raised a question.
“Beanz, what’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
“… ….”
“…… Beans?”
Why?
I should be able to return even the angular words like usual to those who worry about me.
‘This isn’t it.’
No, it wasn’t something like an inferiority complex that made me angry in the first place.
Either he proves his competence or not, everyone in the academy is already stigmatizing him as a monster. Awakening that awareness would be impossible unless he erased his innate power.
And it was none other than himself who provided the opportunity.
‘I just don’t want to see someone I admit go through the same thing again… ….’
Because of his competitive spirit.
So, exposing that part and expressing anger would actually hurt him.
Why does he still see him as a competitor and scold him for his attitude?
“Calm down. Beans.”
It was at that moment that someone put a hand on my shoulder.
Aware of that sensation, Beans hurriedly turned his gaze back, and saw a huge boy quietly looking down at him.
Latello Den.
A boy born in a savage tribe who, unlike himself, maintains his composure.
“It’s just play.”
His mouth opened and what came out was a calm voice that contrasted with Beans.
The opposite of the psychologically unstable girl.
“… What do you mean, that.”
“It was a game, not a duel.”
A boy born in a savage tribe who pinpoints and explains a fact that the girl overlooked.
“I understand that competition needs rules. But what those two are doing now is play……. Breaking the rules doesn’t hurt anyone. I just think that if you enjoy each other, that’s enough, so you don’t have to take it seriously.”
If it is a theory, it must be a theory.
It wouldn’t be fun anymore if the other person was offended, but unlike Beans, Dale wasn’t offended by hanging out with Maki in the slightest.
“Yeah, I think so too. It’s just that if we enjoy each other…….”
“Are you having fun? Is it fun to collect all the victory cards in the first hand and give me three defeats?”
Of course, Maki had a different idea.
“Does it mean beating down the loser and being intoxicated by your own victory over the corpse? Is that what humans mean by pleasure?”
“No, I didn’t mean it that way… ….”
“Humans are bad. Scum. No, not all humans are bad. Dale Enverton is bad. This liar. Fraud… ….”
Maki trembles and continues to curse at Dale.
Maybe he was completely hated by him. Dale tried to cry, but even that didn’t last very long.
“But Dale teaches me.”
“…… Uh?”
“Fish wants me to learn. So Dale teaches me, keep listening. Solitaire, Chess What next? Sorry, Dale continues to teach me how to play.”
A girl doll who quietly asks back with a blunt voice.
Facing him, Dale put on a dazed expression, then drew a bright smile on his lips as he understood the meaning.
“Are you still hanging out?”
“Does it suit you? What does it mean?”
“Oh, no. Nothing. Lol.”
The two start chattering like that again.
Beanz had been watching all of that from a distance.
Until now, even though I had been harassing the other person and feeling awkward again, to be able to get along again like that…….
It was an act that did not make sense to Beans’ common sense.
‘No, that’s natural… ….’
As Ratel said, what they did was a game, not a game.
Unlike a duel, nothing is involved, and just hanging out with each other can win what can be called a reward…….
An experience he has never touched himself.
‘Not even once.’
Yes, not even for a moment.
I wish that the era of peace would last that long, but like my father who never melted into peace.
“Beans, are you okay?”
At that moment, I heard the barbarian boy’s worries.
“…… For a moment.”
Leaving those worries behind, Beans headed towards the exit of the inn.
“I’ll come back after getting some fresh air.”
“Beans? Why all of a sudden… ….”
Dale noticed it belatedly and looked back at Beans, but by that time, her body had already completely disappeared from the front door.
Knock, he said.
The traces of the previous rage disappeared completely, leaving only a very light noise.
***
“So, Beans got out of the dorm for a while and you guys stayed and played by yourself. Is this?”
“Yes. I don’t know why, but I feel like I shouldn’t follow…….”
Anyway, since her respected father became a criminal and the unstable emotions of her adolescence were added, she must be cautious about dealing with them from their point of view.
Since they don’t consider all the circumstances, they will choose to wait in silence rather than follow and console them.
Yes, what. So it makes sense that Beans disappeared…….
“By the way, why is the dorm like this?”
No furniture was intact, the ceiling and floor were all split apart, and even a head flying from inside the room shattered the window.
“I played with her friends. As directed by the fish.”
“It’s not a fish, it’s Seine-sensei.”
Even the fact that the head separated from the body can speak is quite horror.
Damn it, how do we lead these dainty troublemakers forward?
