Chapter 33

TL: Jaemicy

Episode 33.

“It’s strange.”

It seemed like there was a system error.

I used my skill again.

[Skill ]

“What’s your name?”

This time, the greeting popped out, as if it was invoked normally.

[Skill has been confirmed]

[Quest has been completed]

[10 Fate energy will be given as a reward]

‘I think there was a bug.’

While relieved, Calix tilted his head.

“Name?”

“What do people call you?”

She added since he didn’t seem to know what his name was.

“This, that.”

“What?”

“Trash. Monster. A tenacious bastard.”

I was appalled at the following words.

I knew the treatment of Calix was not good, but this was too much.

“No, those are not names.”

“Then what’s a name?”

“Can I name you?”

“Yes.”

After a moment’s thought, I said to Calix.

“How about Calix?”

“Calix…………….”

Strictly speaking though, I didn’t name him.

Calix seemed quite pleased anyway.

At that time, the Brighton mansion.

Antonia tilted her head as she was organizing Roselina’s room.

‘I wonder why Lady Roselina read all these books?’

People thought Roselina was in her room because she had a fever.

But she was actually out every day these days.

‘She reads even while she’s busy.……… Huh?’

As soon as she was about to move, Antonia, who was organizing the table, stopped.

“How to get close to wild animals?”

On the cover, cute animals such as squirrels and raccoons were drawn.

“Is she taming wild animals these days?”

That’s why she asked for food and medicine.

“Gasp…………!”

Anthony stopped breathing for a moment at a sudden thought.

“What if it’s a baby fox or a rabbit?”

She loved animals.

Antonia let her imagination run wild.

‘By any chance………’

Maybe on a rainy day.

‘Lady Roselina may have found a kitten abandoned on the side of the road.’

Lady Roselina, the only one who cared for a kitten that was shaking because no one cared for it…

Antonia blushed in admiration.

“How cute would it be? I wish she’d bring it to the mansion!”

She cried with her hands clasped together.

“She reads books so much.”

As soon as Antonia tapped it, the book swung over.

A page that seemed to have been viewed multiple times was unfolded.

Antonia read the words at the top.

“How to give medicine to a sick animal?”

***

Drip, drip.

The dripping water droplets added to the dreary and damp atmosphere.

And the man standing in front of me.

The restraints and chains, which were tied all over his body, added to the dangerous atmosphere.

Although he was thin, his muscular body was strong.

The moment his eyes and eyes met.

“Grrrrr!”

A ferocious cry rang inside.

It sounded so fierce that even the beast in the other cage looked this way in surprise.

“It’s okay. It’s okay.”

I am accustomed to comforting Callix.

“Today’s medicine won’t taste too bitter.”

“I asked you not to use it.”

“Creung.”

Calix grumbled with a broken spirit as if he was willing to accept it.

“If you take all the medicine at once, I’ll give you a reward.”

“Creung?”

The word prize was immediately followed by a reaction.

I grinned inwardly and took the candy out of my bag.

“Look, it’s strawberry flavored candy.”

“Creung!”

Sure enough. Calix was visibly pleased.

‘Right, I can’t stand strawberry candy.’

Seeing Calix like it, I could relieve my guilt.

‘I’m sorry. It’s a lie that the medicine isn’t bitter.’

The effectiveness of the medicine has also weakened to relieve the bitter taste.

The pharmacist said that if you take the animalized potion for a long time, the weak antidote does not work at all.

‘But I’m glad he’s feeling better.’

Calix has improved noticeably by the day.

He’s just growling because he’s so excited about the medicine.

It’s a little vague, but we talked a lot.

“Come on, take your medicine.”

Calix took the detox potion with a frown and swallowed it.

I looked at him with nervousness.

[ has been started]

[Use of skill to effectively heal the beast. Progress: 80………]

‘It’s almost done now.’

After a little while, I remembered the notification I had been waiting for.

[MC level: 100]

[The beast has been treated]

[ has been confirmed]

[Quest has been completed]

[10 Fate energy will be given as a reward]

“I like it!”

And right away, the next quest came.

[A new quest has occurred. Do you want to check?]

[Tame Memento Mori’s vicious beast!] (4)

– Condition: To rescue a caged beast

– Reward: Creating a timing window, 10 Destiny Energy]

“The timing is amazing.”

***

I was about to start talking about escape.

‘Of course you want to get out of here.’

I looked around us.

The mossy stone floor was humid and cold.

In nearby cages, wounded beasts were gasping down.

In a place where nothing to eat is properly given, Callix has lived his whole life.

‘It’s a severe abuse.’

If you wait a little bit, you might meet the heroine and be saved.

‘To do that, Calix has to suffer too much.’

“Creung.”

Calix tapped the iron post and showed a frowning face.

It was a protest against the same bitter medicine as yesterday.

“I’m sorry, but you don’t have to take medicine anymore.”

“.…………… Kking.”

“I’ll give you strawberry-flavored candy, too.”

“Hmph.”

I smiled at Calix, who snorted as if he was willing to let her go.

“Here you go.”

I gave him strawberry-flavored candy and reflected on the original work.

This was a gladiatorial gambling house.

‘It’s not the place Daisy, who used to live as an ordinary little citizen, used to come and go.’

So how did Daisy and Calix meet?

I mulled over the original work.

It was a particularly strange day.

Calix stared at the meal that was given to me.

White, soft bread, warm soup, steak and juice with sauce.

It was a luxurious diet unlike usual. Like the last day of death row.

However, Callix did not raise any questions and simply chewed down the given meal.

There was no reason left for him to think.

Then he climbed the Colosseum Stadium, as he did every day.

It was at that moment that Carlix felt faintly out of place.

There were too many predators for him to fight.

In addition, everyone turned their eyes upside down and drooled as if they had taken medicine.

Calix stood silently bare in front of the beast’s legions.

As he had no other choice Calix fought and fought.

However, it was impossible to face dozens of wild animals with bare bodies.

“I don’t need you anymore.”

In the end, he lay on the floor in a miserable way and was thrown away.

It was the day he turned 18.

‘If Daisy didn’t come across it that day, she would have died.’

On second thought, it was a terrible story.

I couldn’t leave it like that.

“Calix, listen to me.”

“Yes.”

“You want to stay here? Don’t you want to get out of here?”

“Out?”

Calix blinked slowly after hearing me.

Since he had lived in the Colosseum all his life, he seemed unable to grasp the idea.

“Yes, there is a high blue sky and a soft lawn outside. You can take a nap in the warm sun on it, and if it’s hot, you can swim by the stream.”

“And there’s a father who’s looking for you. Don’t you miss him?”

Calix has been silent for a while.

“Calix, I’ll be back tomorrow after I leave today. Let me know if you want to go out or not by then.”

“Are you…?”

“What?”

“If I go outside, is Rose there too?”

Calix’s gaze was straight.

As if only that fact mattered.
