Act 3: Drug
Chapter 23: Shaman and Berserker
“—Morning, Futaba-san”
Waking up, felt strangely refreshi+ng With vivid awareness, and a clear mind, I snap open my eyes to find Momokawa-kun’s sweet, stray-cat-like face
Half dazed in fascination at his gentle s— when, it all comes back
what’s this, it’s great— Power all over hter
Flashback A rather suitable word to use for me who has used a narcotic
want— yuive it to me
It ca that happened only a few et
Yes, those things I did, to Momokawa-kun All of them
“A-ah Momokawa-kun Umm, I”
“It’s ok, Futaba-san, just relax”
It’s not ok The things I did to Mos where you just say sorry and move on Relax, I can’t relax at all
“We’re at a Fairy Square, it’s safe Also, the drug’s syone by now Futaba-san, that Go?”
Wow Still aot it on the dot
So there’s no reason to hide it Iout well
“Thanks to Blessed Body, the addiction factors and after-effects are all gone, or atleast, supposed to be how do you feel?”
“Y-yeah I’ht”
“I see, don’t force yourself ok, I think you should rest a bit longer”
Adhering to those words, I stop planning to rise up, and choose to stay laid down
I’h I really don’t feel any probleishness, or even pain In fact, it’s ht as rain
But I wasn’t feeling lively enough to ju said, I didn’t feel like going back to sleep either
So deciding I’d talk to Mos I want to hear, things I want to say, there’s a ton Including things I have to say no matter what
“Hey, Momokawa-kun Um, so what happened, after that?”
What I asked first, would be a valid question given the situation Yet, the real question I should’ve asked, I should’ve wanted to hear the answer to, I couldn’t get it out
This tiain, I had run away
“I think you should know, Futaba-san, after you fainted, it’s been a while Hmm, around half a day maybe?”
Seeht Momokawa-kun, I wonder if he’s properly rested too No, he wasn’t the type to only rest
In the ti he could, and even had the tiuesses about that frenzy That’s why he’s been able to talk with s
“This fairy square, I found it only a little ways away froood luck there or rather, these Squares see back to the last one”
I’ to think about that until no that he’s said it, it’s true that beforeMomokawa-kun, there were fairy squares at a fair frequency
“It really is like a save point Well, eon”
Meaning, it’s like a gauess I have heard the term RPG before, but any further than that is alike that too, so it must be pretty similar
“B-but, Momokawa-kun umm, how did you move me here?”
That was the greatestI’d wanted to avoid hearing But asking this at present was of utmost importance
“But of course, in a princess carry I am a man after all[1]”
“Eeeeehh!? Really!? That’s a, Momokawa-kun!”
“ Sorry, I lied”
“Eh, ah Yeah, that that’s about right”
damn, I went and flew off to my own personal la la land He probably thinks I’uess not That was definitely just a joke Mo away all the way to the day after to his cheek, that kind of expression of his is again, quite lovely
“But then how did you?”
“I put you on a stretcher, and dragged it along”
Look, that one, he said pointing, and looking there, there were two poles with dark, dirty, shabby-looking cloths wrung about; it looked only like a large article of trash, and was disposed of beside the fountain
Next to that, I saw an assorts dumped at the spot
“In the PE textbook, there’s a part aboutan improvised stretcher with 2 poles and a T-shi+rt, re about, so material wasn’t a problem”
“W-, Momokawa-kun you even went, and did that”
“Well, it was risky business The Goma could’ve come back with friends, and other Monsters could’ve happened by too”
Noret away from there as quick as you can More so, when your ally just went crazy and attacked you, you’d naturally leave theo No, even if you did want to take them, who’d want to carry a fatty like me anyway
“But I had to do it If I ran away alone, o bleak So I ed off any gear I could off the Goma”
Me being of such i irl
