Season 1 Side Story Chapter 3. Ran (3)

Season 1 Side Story Chapter 3. Ran (3)

Suddenly, a student with a mischievous appearance appeared from behind the teacher. He energetically gestured to Almond, calling him Lete.

"Quickly! Quickly!"

He was signaling for him to quickly come. Almond ran to him without hesitation. Despite the suspicion of a prank on his face, it seemed certain that he was an ally. Almond dashed with the sound of his hooves ringing out.

"Run a bit quietly, Lete!"

The running student seemed upset and lifted Almond.

"Ugh...!"

Could this small student carry him despite him being a sheep?

"La... Lavente!"

Whoosh...!

Almond became light as a feather after the boy chanted some spell.

The boy ran even faster while carrying Almond.

'Is he a magician?'

Almond grew curious about how he used such a strange spell. Was this a magic school or was it natural for the clergy to learn such marvelous skills?

"Haah... Haah..."

Thud.

The student entered a bathroom stall, closed the door, and panted.

Then he whispered into Almond’s fluffy ears, "Damn it. Did you really turn your brain into a sheep too? I used the lightweight magic meant for Ran on you... Damn it... today is ruined..."

"Baaa..."

Not knowing anything, Almond apologized for causing trouble even though he didn’t understand.

"It’s okay. Let's go back for now."

"?"

"Puri-Beket."

Boom.

A white smoke rose and Almond instantly turned back into a human. The problem was that he was stark naked.

He momentarily turned on his stream microphone and asked, "I’m just asking in case. Everyone... is it censored?"

— Yes

— Yes

— No

— We can see everything!? Ehehehehe

— LOL Almond is exposed!

Seeing the responses, it seemed to be fine.

"Lete, why are you really like this? Don't you remember anything?"

The student grabbed and shook his shoulders, thinking it was strange that Almond kept moving his lips while looking into space.

"Auaaa..."

Almond could barely nod while his head heavily shook.

"What, what?!"

"Memory... not there."

"Memory? So you don’t remember going to the underground dungeon?"

"... I don’t even know your name."

"!?"

The student was shocked at his words, stumbled back, and even hit the wall.

"What, what did you say?"

He couldn't believe that the side effect of his magic was this severe.

“D-Don’t fool around. Anyway, I have to get back to class before Beret gets here... I’ll get you some clothes later.”

“?”

Thump.

He irresponsibly just left the restroom like that. If Beret regained consciousness and returned to the classroom with only that student missing, it would immediately be obvious who the culprit was...

“No. No matter what. Still,” Almond scratched his head in disbelief.

— What about the clothes? Just give him one robe before leaving...

— Admiring Almond's abs are totally a bonus ^^

— I don’t know who that student is, but he seems to know something hehe

— He’s not coming back, is he? If he forgets and doesn’t bring it like an old sitcom 20 years ago, it’ll be legendary kekeke

“He wouldn’t not bring it. This is a game.”

— Oh. He's reading the chat!

— Gradually trying to get a hint, nut ke ke ke

— Focus on the nuts!

Almond didn’t think that boy would forget to bring him clothes.

“Hmm...”

He started looking for something to do while his friend left to get clothes.

“The first condition was a secret.”

— YesYou'll discover the inception of this content at n0v@lbin★

— Suddenly streaming?

— Don’t stream and just play the game keke

— Born to be a streamer

The first star clear condition was a secret. It was only clearable by finding out some secret.

“It seems like a secret about this school...”

— &@&@

— Is that so~~

— Do it yourself~~~^^

The fact that the school had a basement dungeon meant it wasn’t an ordinary place. This bathroom was also part of the school. If he closely examined this place, there could be something too. Although the probability was very low...

“Everyone was saying that.”

“... Have your memories about Ran been erased too? Ah, never mind. You wouldn’t say these things if you could recall Ran’s pure energy. Even after they claimed Ran was playing with Seri, his innocence was still perfect.”

“Does innocence have to do with not meeting girls?”

“...?!”

With a miserable expression, Lorang put a hand on Almond’s shoulder.

“Haa... It's not my place to say this. Stop the irreverent talk and just follow me. I’m sorry, Lete.”

“??”

Apparently, their mana became stronger the more they maintained their purity.

— Single players are the strongest in this world

— What is this? I was born in the wrong world.

— How much pure mana do I have?

— ForeverAlone should’ve gone there, LOL

— Almond will have dark mana coming out

Almond spoke again while following Lorang, “But...”

“What now? Again.”

“My name is Almond.”

“??”

“Just call me that. For convenience.”

“... Haa. What curse is on this magic? Got it.”

Nodding his head unwillingly, Lorang made a bored expression.

— LOL

— He’s a greedy streamer

— He said he wouldn’t do that during the stream, LOL

Lorang led him to a place that looked like a nurse’s office. It seemed like a place called the purification place.

Lorang explained the situation to the clergyman there and showed them Almond.

"Turn into a sheep...?"

"That, that’s a secret. You know?"

"Lorang. You've dabbled in strange magic again. Do you intend to create purity?"

"It wasn’t a goat. It was a sheep, so it’s magic. It's clearly magic."

“We learn not to use such things, don’t we? We’re moving away from the goddess by doing so. Don't you understand that it begins with such things and leads to a weak spirit indulged in lust?”

“Oh, such a prophet. Look at my face. Do I look like I'll fall for lust? I belong to the goddess forever regardless of my will."

Hearing Lorang’s words, the clergyman sighed deeply and examined Almond.

Wooong...!

His hand emitted white mana and it felt like physical wounds and the heart were being healed when he touched Almond.

‘This is the mana of purity...’

The white mana that Ran used was for attacking. Did this person develop it for healing purposes?

"Hm. There is no particular problem. It might be confusion in memory due to a momentary shock... I'm not well-versed in magic... better check again when you go to the village."

“Yes. Anyway, it's not caused by a demon, right?”

The clergyman narrowed his eyebrows at that word and firmly asserted, "If that was the case, you would have died the moment you stepped into this room."

"Is there such a thing~"

Lorang, acting smart, took Almond and went outside.

"Phew. Luckily, Le... no, Almond. For now, you have no problem. That old man may nag a lot, but he has a discerning eye."

"... It doesn’t seem like he said there was no problem."

"Anyway! You're not possessed by a demon right now, so it’s fine."

Lorang answered in a high voice and kept saying, “Right. Then it's fine,” while nodding.

— This guy is really crazy

— Almond's expression is legendary, LOL

— What is this? haha

Lorang held Almond’s shoulders and spoke again in a serious voice, "First, our plan must continue."

"What plan?"

"What do you mean...?"

Bling.

[One step closer to the secret.]

“We have to meet Ran.”

Dudung!

Drums rang out consecutively.

[Objective: Rescue Ran!]

The task of rescuing Ran had been assigned.

‘Rescue?’

Almond felt puzzled.

Ran was under discipline at school. Wouldn’t it become a much bigger matter if they rescued him? If he escaped from punishment now, it would naturally result in a bigger punishment later.

More importantly, Lorang said he would meet Ran. He didn’t say how to rescue him.

"Are you thinking of rescuing Ran?" Almond asked just in case.

Lorang raised his lips and eyebrows, "Eh? What crazy talk? Has your intelligence also become that of a sheep’s?"

— LOL

— Disparaging walnuts

— That expression comes out just because he asked a question haha

— Lorang is so likable!

"... No. Let’s go for now."

Then why did the rescue quest come up? What was going to happen?

Almond steeled his resolve and followed Lorang.
