“Now what shall we do ……?”
After the academy classes were over, I was invited to Alicia’s room.
In a week’s time, the [Duel of the Leaders] will be held.
We are going to have a strategy meeting for that.
If I lose to Prince Claude, I will be expelled from the academy. ……
To say the least, it’s a pretty bad situation.
“I made tea. And cookies.”
Alicia offered me a cup of tea and cookies.
I drank the tea from the cup.
“Thank you. It’s delicious.”
“Fufu. Thank you!
(This is not the time to be doing this. ……)
Seeing Alicia smiling, my nervousness is loosened.
Maybe it’s the relaxing effect of the tea, but it gives me a warm feeling.
“….I guess I’ll just have to go over there after all.”
“I see you have a solution! That’s what I’m talking about, Sid san!”
Alicia clapped her hands in delight.
Originally this happened because Alicia recommended me, but I didn’t feel bad seeing her smiling so much and making me happy.
“So, where do you mean over there?”
Alicia looked into my face with sparkling eyes.
What I mean by “there” is the dungeon.
Actually, there is a dungeon in the basement of this academy.
In the original story, it is a dungeon that you enter in the latter half of the story.
And in the dungeon of the academy, the “Sacred Staff,” which is the main character’s exclusive equipment, lies.
The Sacred Staff can only be equipped by the hero – that is, the saint Alicia.
It has the effect of [army magic], which can strengthen the status of all allies.
This is quite a cheat effect, and even at low levels, with the buff of the holy staff, you can be a powerhouse even against endgame enemies.
The problem, however, is – you have to defeat the dungeon boss, the Undead King.
He is an A-ranked strength and a nasty zombie monster.
But it’s not impossible to win …….
There is a good strategy.
If you use “a lot” of certain items–
“Alicia. There is a dungeon in the basement of this academy. I want to conquer it.”
“Eh? There is a dungeon under the academy. ……?”
Alicia was surprised.
It was an understandable reaction.
In the original scenario, it was a dungeon that could only be accessed in the latter half of the game.
This academy was originally founded by the first saint, Jeanne d’Arc.
She left weapons to those who had the qualities of a saint in preparation for when the Demon King returned.
That is why it is called the holy staff.
This information was given to me by the high priest of the Church of the Saints, which worships Jeanne as a goddess.
Moreover, this information is the reward for defeating the wicked people who are hostile to the Church of the Saints.
So naturally, at the beginning of the story, neither Alicia nor her targets know about this information.
“Alicia …… can you use warding magic?”
“Yes, I can use it. The duration is short, though……”
“That’s good. If you can use it, that’s good enough for me.”
If we, with our low HP and low defense, were attacked by the Undead King, we would 100% die with a single punch.
That’s why barrier magic is essential for my plan.
“Also, how much money do you have in savings?”
“Savings? ……?”
Alicia looked doubtful.
“Yeah. I actually need to buy a lot of items.”
“What are you buying?”
“Holy water.”
The Undead King is a zombie monster.
Its weak point is the magic of the holy attribute.
Alicia can use holy attribute magic, but it is not powerful enough to kill the Undead King.
In short, it lacks firepower.
However, if you pour holy water on the Undead King, you can add up the damage.
(I want to buy as much holy water as possible. You never know what might happen. ……)
We manage to get to the Undead King while avoiding encounters with other monsters.
If we can defeat the Undead King, we can gain a lot of experience and level up quickly.
“With our money, let’s buy as much holy water as we can.”
“I understand. …… I’ll do whatever it takes to win!”
Alicia poses with guts.
“Yes. I’m sure we’ll win.”
To be honest, I have to say that the chances of winning are low.
If you think about it calmly, there is no way that the son of a baronet can defeat His Highness the Prince.
This is because a noble’s rank is determined by the strength of their magical power.
If anyone had to bet, they would bet on Prince Claude.
However, there is a chance of victory, albeit a slim possibility.
“Let’s just try ……!”
“Yes! Sid san! I’m really happy to see the two of us working together! happy! ”
Alicia jumps up and down.
“working together….?” (共同作業 : Kyoudou Sagyou)
A word that is not appropriate in this desperate situation.
It sounds like something a man and a woman in love would use. ……
“Yes! This is the first time Sid san and I are working together! Let’s beat up the stupid prince together!”
Alicia emphasizes “first time” a lot.
(It’s not quite right, but that’s okay. ……)
“Ou ……!”
★
[Alicia’s point of view]
After having a “strategy meeting” in my room, Sid san went back to the boys’ dormitory.
I asked him to stay over, but he turned red and refused.
“I wouldn’t mind sleeping in the same bed with you if it was you. ……”
Of course, I’ve already said yes to more than that.
(This is the first time I’ve ever worked with Sid san……)
I’m so happy to be able to do a dungeon run with Sid san.
Even if I have to die, I would be happy to die with Sid san.
“Mr. Cid at the strategy meeting …… was really cool.”
Sid san knew that there was a dungeon in the basement of the academy, and that holy water was effective against the Undead King.
Sid-san must have been hiding his abilities.
He is the type of person who works hard behind the scenes.
(Just as I had predicted. ……)
When I saw him talking back to Farnese sama, I knew There is something about this guy!
He has something special that ordinary people don’t have.
It’s as if he’s from another world. ……
“That’s not true, is it?”
Yeah. It’s not possible that you’re from another world, is it? ……
Impossible, impossible.
(It’s time to take a bath ……)
I have to wash well the places touched by the stupid prince.
(It was so disgusting ……)
I can never be touched by any man other than Sid san.
I have to clean the “dirt” of the stupid prince well in the bath. ……
“….. Sid-san. I will lead you to victory even if it costs me my life!”
I firmly vowed my loyalty to Sid-san.
