Chapter 283: Rotten Salmon

Rotten Salmon

F-Frey.

With a flustered and pale face, Clana looked at Frey and whispered.

L-Lets go back. Lets take a breather for a while

But you said its urgent.

Well, now that I think about it, I dont think its that urgent. L-Lets have some snacks over there

Im fine, lets keep going.

As Freys eyes brimmed with a lot of malice, Clana tried to move in the opposite direction. However, Frey remained calm and continued to move forward.

Try this~! Its a salmon sandwich!

However, Frey soon stopped in his tracks.

Its delicious.

Right? Isnt it tasty?

He saw his sister, who quickly turned away after looking at him, sharing sandwiches on a bench with Ruby.

Everyone, come and try it, too! I prepared enough for everyone to share!

Ruby started handing out sandwiches to passing students, while Frey watched the scene in a daze.

Wow! Its really good!

Did you make it yourself, Hero?

The freshmen accepted the sandwiches with bright expressions.

Yes, I made them myself!

Ruby smiled at each of them as she handed out sandwiches, then she crept toward Aria and asked.

By the way, youre eating really well, arent you? Do you really like salmon that much?

Ah, yes. I really love salmon.

Wow, what a coincidence! My favorite food is also salmon!

Ruby looked surprised and clapped her hands, then tapped her fingers on the bench as if she was in a very good mood and began to talk.

Did you know salmon symbolizes healthy life and happiness?

Really?

The way they struggle against the current of the stream, trying to make their way up the waterfall, is wonderful and beautiful You can just picture it, right?

The surrounding people nodded in agreement.

To capture such a beautiful creature struggling for its goal and eating it is

Rubys eyes twinkled as she rambled on about salmon, but then the corner of her mouth twitched up as she suddenly glanced at Frey holding hands with Clana from a distance, and she muttered.

thrilling.

Pardon?

I find it ironic. Thats why I always resolve not to stop midway whenever I eat salmon.

Ruby quickly changed the subject when the students were looking puzzled, but she soon covered her mouth and smiled when the students nodded in realization.

Frey, lets go. Dont pay them any mind.

Okay.

Frey was oblivious to Rubys actions and was focused only on Aria quietly eating her salmon sandwich, and he only began moving after Clana had urged him to.

Ah, Professor Frey!

However, Ruby called out to Frey with a sandwich in her hand.

A cold silence settled on the side of the street.

Would you like to come over and have a salmon sandwich?

Amidst the silence, Ruby asked with a bright look on her face. Frey sighed and replied softly.

I dont like salmon.

Oh? I didnt know that.

Ruby looked disappointed after hearing his response, then she got up with her sandwich bag.

Everyone, shall we sit there and eat?

With that, she pulled out the mat she had prepared.

Hero! Let me help you!

Please give me the basket, Ill carry it.

Should we prepare the food next time? It doesnt seem right for the Hero to do this

The students quickly gathered around her.

The Horizon sisters divided the task of carrying the basket and mat.

The aide adjusted her glasses and asked a question.

The Counts daughter and a group of freshmen followed behind them.

Then, Vener and Alice approached from a distance and joined them, and even Aishi, who looked reluctant, quietly joined the group.

Freys expression hardened slightly as the peaceful, harmonious group gave him a cold look as they walked past him.

At that moment Frey slightly tightened his grip on Clanas hand as Aria passed by him with a blank face.

I dont like salmon.

But then, Glare, who was watching the whole scene, leaned against Freys side and spoke.

I dont like people who eat salmon either!

Hearing this, Ruby and Aria momentarily stopped.

Is that so~? Thats a shame.

Ruby responded in a soft voice. And for some reason, Aria glanced at Glare leaning against Frey with bitter eyes.

But

Kugugugu

At that moment, as Ruby was about to speak again, Clana whispered to Ruby with a menacing look on her face.

Shut your mouth before I shove salmon down your throat.

Oh my, how scary.

Even though Clanas Aura of Domination was directed only at Ruby, the whole street trembled.

Ack!?

Ahhhh

As Aria and Glare were taken aback and staggered from the sudden tremor, Ruby and Clana exchanged fierce glares.

Not bad for someone meant to be a sacrifice. Even compared to that fallen womans eyes

Sizzle, sizzle

Shes too thin. Didnt she get the flowers?

What is she holding in her hand?

Huh?

Frey, momentarily puzzled, then quietly stared at the flower in Roswyns hand.

Aha.

Frey spoke with a bitter smile.

It was red.

Red?

Hearing his words, Clana tilted her head, and Frey murmured with a wry smile.

The color of Roswyns favorite flower was red.

Oh, I see.

Clana quietly responded with lowered eyes, and they began to walk slowly.

I finally figured it out.

Frey mumbled in a dry voice as he crossed the empty street across from Roswyn, holding Clanas hand.

He had already noticed Rubys eyes watching him carefully and had no choice but to make this decision.

Swish

Roswyn had been watching Frey through the helper system without even looking up, she quietly buried her face in her knees upon seeing his choice.

If its a flower from you

Though she wanted to run to Frey and hold him, she couldnt approach him due to the restrictions placed on her, and Rubys piercing gaze from afar prevented her from saying anything. So, she just mumbled with her head buried in her knees.

anything would be fine.

Clana, whom she had always looked down upon and often talked to impolitely, was now confidently walking beside Frey. She looked exceptionally radiant to her

Anything even grass would be fine

The rose in her hand drooped lifelessly as she spoke.

Screech

Shortly after, a carriage sped away from the orientation site.

.

.

.

.

.

Right after Freys carriage left the orientation site.

Ugh, sob

Sitting on the bench, Roswyn buried her head in her knees and cried.

Memo fox-eared beastkin is a potential ally consider recruiting her as an ally Hmm?

Noticing her while diligently noting down her observations, Glare tilted her head and cautiously approached her.

Hey, are you crying?

Huuu

Dont cry, please.

Glare gently patted her back.

Hmm.

Soon, her eyes narrowed as another system window appeared in front of her.

Ahhh!

As Glare was about to reach for the system window.

N-No!!

Eek?

As Roswyn exclaimed and leaped from her seat, Glare stepped back in shock.

D-Dont look at it now No Ill show you later

Okay?

A-Anyway, go away. Just go

Knowing that Glare didnt have her immunity from the penalty, Roswyn started to step back hastily.

S-Stop!

What followed was an unexpected chase.

Pant, pant D-Dont follow me

Why are you hiding it? Whats in there

After some time, the two girls were getting exhausted.

Hey there.

!

Ruby appeared with a basket of sandwiches in front of them.

Do you want to have a sandwich with us?

As Ruby offered sandwiches from the basket, a brief silence fell.

Alright.

Then, follow me.

Glare answered softly and began to follow Ruby as she held Roswyn, whose face had turned pale.

I-Ill kill her, definitely Ill definitely kill her No matter what, Ill make her pay for what shes done

Hmm

As Roswyn glared at Rubys back with hatred, resentment, and despair, Glare stopped for a moment.

Are you coming?

Yes, Ill be right there

Roswyn eagerly turned back to the system window and fiddled with it, then she muttered in a low voice.

Rotten salmon.

And so, the casual outing of the Hero-less Hero Party began.
