The Core of Evil
Good evening
...
I failed to determine the correct one, and the real Hector attacked me using that echo attack again
Once again I was lying on the floor, like a fly that had been stepped on and crushed, having no power at all.— tried to get back up despite knowing I would only be further crushed
Shit...!
This exercise is hard...!
"Can't you slow down a little? You can kill him?" Pinky reminds me of Hector
"He won't die. I've made sure that the attack I used on him is safe"
"His breathing isn't even regular now, Hector-sama"
"Then he has a lot of sports..."
Ughhhh...
I hate it when I realize that Hector's words are true...
"From tomorrow, from 8 am to 1 pm you will be self-directed physical exercise. Rest for 2 hours, then we will continue with this exercise with me" he said again
Hmphc...
Realizing that my body was feeling a little more normal, I tried to get up and sit up neatly. At almost the same time, I realized that my HP was vibrating because of the incoming message
Oh. From Noah
{ Noah : Arthur, where are you? It's too late at midnight }
Is that so?
When I looked at my HP clock, it was seen that the day showed 01:27 AM in Intergalactica time
How long have I been training with these three guys...?
"alright. But, what kind of training should I do?" I asked them advice too
"Lift load. Marathon around the headquarters. Or it could also be a battle simulation here" Fuyuki who advised me
Ughhhh...
I don't like all of those things...
Or maybe, Fuyuki's third choice I can make...
But, I don't know what kind of setting this area has. I was just afraid that their setting was too harsh as well...
Ah yes!
I have other alternatives to physical exercise!
I quickly got up and immediately ran out without permission from the three of them. And when I remembered that they were still in the room, I turned around for a moment and said goodbye
"Thank you for today!", before disappearing so quickly that my footsteps could be heard echoing from the end of the hallway
...
...
...
"Are you sure this will work?" Pinky asked Hector
Hector just silently did not speak, glanced at Pinky for a moment, then went along to leave while Fuyuki followed behind after she had left
Pinky was left alone there, silent in silence with no one to talk to
Or so others see
"According to your judgment, is Hector's training too hard, chief?"
Our chairman finally let out a sound after a while just shut up and watched. His typical laughter sounds, as if he was humbling Pinky's words
"You don't have to worry. If I believe one thing about Hector, he's the best person to judge the situation" our chairman said
"Because he's a veteran?"
"More than that: He was the true leader of Arcadia, before he knew the truth from his friend's wife"
...
"So so. You really know best"
Pinky's worries had already been raised, and so she could sigh
Relieved as if he would not lose the tempo of all the things he had neatly arranged
"... I just wish you could keep your promise to me, Jackson" Pinky said, before leaving childishly
...
...
...
"You're the longest by my side, but you still don't understand me, Pinky..."
The voice of our leader was slowly disappearing as if swept by air. And of all of us, there was no sound left, deciding that we should just end the night
Or so I expected
{{{ Room Noah }}}
"You see the clock, don't you?"
"See..."
"I told you you have to rest a lot, didn't I?"
"I'm training with Hector..."
Noah wanted to show that he was impressed with my sentence, but then immediately he held it while returning to the pose {reign over everything} crossed his arms in the chest, and then immediately he held it back while re-posing the pose —reign over everything, sit on his bed while I sit on the floor, and raise his head to look at me like an insect
"Even so, you shouldn't be home this late!"
"You set up like Ariel..."
"Ariel?"
"Ah, the girl with the cross"
Noah knows apparently...
"And yes. Why are you setting me up anyway? Step aside and let me lie down too!" I also called while jumping to the left side of the bed
He tried to block, but didn't even have time to show a reaction before I managed to land on his mattress and started rolling and saying, "Finally there's a smooth surface~"
After falling so many times to the ground earlier, everyone must have understood my feelings by now
"Oh come! Today is my turn to use the bed!" Noah said as he pulled the back of my collar. "And take off your jacket! It's dirty, you know??"
Since when did he deserve to protest about something dirty I tried?
I tried to thrash, but knew it would be worth it. So I was just following Noah's request...
Before I threw myself back on the bed, so it accidentally hit his hand that was tidying up the part that I made a mess earlier
"THE SICK!!" He shouted as he pulled his hand until he fell to the other side of the bed
I tried to check on her condition, as she suddenly woke up. Seeing her expression was spontaneous made me put on a nosy face
"Basic boy! Get out of my bed now!" He again called while pointing at me
"No want~ I've been training hard all day, so I want to sleep on mattress~ Can ya~?"
Hm hm~ I won't get away~
Uh-uh?
His shadow suddenly grew. And when I realized, he had already pounced forward as if he was ready to take care of me
But I quickly dodged to the side, so he again ejected and fell to the side of the bed
"What the fuck just now!!?" I shouted
"If you don't get out of the way...!!"
Uwah-wah! He's mad!
He woke up, and immediately made me try to pick up a pillow to protect myself
Suddenly my legs were pulled so I paddled them that Noah was kicked. But it didn't stop there, he jumped into the bed so we started wrestling to push the others to the floor
He looked happy, so did I as we continued to push each other to the opposite side
"So this is your plan!? Hurt a new child and won't budge?!" I said
"Look who's talking, you little dwarf new kid!" He retaliated
"Come on! Just for tonight!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"I won't let it!"
"Then one must lose!"
The situation was very lively at the time, where our laughter and ridicule kept coming out to each other
Sometimes I fall to the floor, sometimes he does too. But neither of us wanted to give up. What we initially struggled with was that the mattress turned into fun as if we were playing around like a child
Sometimes using pillows to hit others, sometimes using them as throwing weapons. It changed the area of the mattress, into an entire room, while I was chased by him who was carrying many pillows as a weapon
Feathers fly here and there as the pillow gets torn, and some things fall apart. Until finally, we were both tired after playing around and laughing that much
We both gave up, deciding to just lie on the bed together while our breathing was not because we still could not manage because we wanted to laugh again
Haah...! That was really fun...!
"You were hit. 27 strikes from me...!" Noah said later
"Oh yeah...?! Then-I won with... 29 strikes right...?"
"Well...?! You must have miscalculated...!!"
Just set... Breath first...
Haah...! I'm getting tired...!
"Better... We'll just sleep together here..." I also filed
Noah only responded with a laugh, making me come along too when I changed my position to face him
My breath began to be regulated, as I looked for a comfortable position to lie down. So too with Noah
His head and clothes were soaked in sweat, as was mine. But we're both too tired now to get up and replace it. Even we have no intention of waking up to drink
When we faced each other, we started giggling again, given how silly we were getting hit by each other earlier
"So it was fun" I said
Noah could agree, and therefore he nodded. "We should sleep too. I'm more tired than ever. Good night" He also said
Alright. Besides, there's nothing else we can do
I tried to close my eyes, but I still felt refreshed from running around. Therefore, I tried to vaguely open my eyes to peek at Noah
But he's asleep. I slept so fast I didn't even notice
He did not snore at all as I expected, as he usually slept and woke up before I could. But after seeing her sleep first now, her face made me calm down
I did not expect, the person who usually spoke out so loudly it turned out to have a face as calm as this...
He just lay unconscious, and a beautiful dream must be approaching him. I might have been able to see his face all night, had I not started getting sleepy right now
...
...
...
"Good night too, Noah..."
I went to sleep, ending the night with a smile as our breaths both began to rhyme and harmonize with each other in a deep dream
