Chapter 11: Renatus and the bite mark.

Translator: Michiko

(This…here is…)

Renatus woke up. It was the morning of the second day of the joint exercise.

After last night’s dinner, we cleaned ourselves up with a “clean” spell and went to bed harmoniously with our bedding side by side.

There should have been some space between the bedding

Now they were both sleeping in Renatus’ bedding.

When Renatus woke up, unable to move, he found himself being hugged tightly from behind. It was Bradley, of course, who was hugging him.

His manly arms were wrapped around Renatus’ body.

So even though I haven’t had sex education in this life, I know what the heat on my b*tt is, and I know where men connect with each other.

(Wouldn’t it be bad if he continued to sleep…?)

The heat on my b*tt continued to move slowly. It rubbed against me.

As one would expect, there is no way he would come in half asleep, but if he did come at this point, it would be awkward for both of us.

“Bradley, wake up! Wake up!”

“Hmm… Rena…”

Maybe he was just talking in his sleep, but he called to me in an incredibly sweet voice.

His lips brushed gently against my earlobe.

“Rena” is the nickname his foster father and foster brother used to call Renatus. By the way, Bradley has never called me Rena. I wonder if the name got cut off in the middle because he was talking in his sleep.

My face feels hot.

When my name is called in a sexy way my heart beats faster and I feel weird. I need to do something about this as soon as possible.

“Bradley!!”

I yelled extra loud and his arms loosened up. He seemed to be waking up.

He could feel the heat leaving his back as Bradley got up and he moved away from Renatus. After enough time, Renatus also got up and looked back.

Bradley held his head in one hand and looked glum.

“I am sorry. Did I do something wrong? Um… I must have been half asleep.”

Bradley’s voice was a little hoarse from waking up and sounded sexy.

Maybe there was some residual heat that had not been dissipated, but his sex appeal was overwhelming. It was too tempting, so Renatus slowly looked away.

And then I thought deeply.

If he asked me if he had done something, I could only say ‘He had.’

But, Bradley would be shocked to learn that he rubbed against his best friend’s b*tt in his sleep. The office worker in his head insists that Renatus should take responsibility as an adult and keep it to himself.

“…Nothing. Nothing happened.”

“…I see.”

Renatus decided to act as if nothing had happened.

Bradley frowned slightly as if some part of the answer did not add up. I am not sure if he was convinced or not, but he did not pursue the matter.

◇◇◇

On the fourth day of the joint exercise.

The daily situations are no different from the first day.

But the combat situation has changed. Renatus has also become more active with magic.

(Two more days until  ‘Harbinger’ of the stampede… There are more monsters than expected)

Perhaps a dimensional rift is slowly opening up.

The ‘harbinger’’ that occurred during the first joint exercise in the original novel was the first weak ‘harbinger’ activity. From there, several ‘harbingers’ occurred, and ten years later the greatest disaster – the main disaster, “Stampede,” occurred.

To put it simply, Stampede is like an earthquake. Stampede also has phases such as “foreshock,” “mainshock,” and “aftershock.”

The dimensional rift that opens with “harbinger” is not a big deal. After opening to a certain degree, it will close.

This process is repeated several times, and during the main disaster, the rift opens wide for a long period of time.

You might think that students should not be allowed to enter such a dangerous place.　

Technically, there is something called “Stampede Prediction,” and when the risk is high, the exercise is moved to another location.

Unfortunately, the ‘harbinger’ that is about to happen was not included in this prediction. I don’t know the reason for this because it wasn’t written in the original novel.

The endpoint of the first course on which the protagonist Bradley takes. There, the rift of the “harbinger” opens, albeit small.　

It was a weak “harbinger” activity.

But even so, it was not something that two 14-year-old kids could handle.

―This is how it was supposed to be originally.

Unlike the original novel, it is Renatus who is here.

“―Bind!!!―”

The monsters around them were unable to move due to the “bind” that Renatus cast. Bradley, who had been strengthened by the “buff,” cut them down one by one with his sword in one hand, as if it were a chore.

Frankly, I would have liked to wipe them out with offensive magic, but Bradley would not have been happy about the waste of magic power.

So this is a compromise.

“It’s incredibly efficient.”

“Hehe. Looks like we can aim for the top spot in battle points.”

“With this number of monsters, we might be able to make it. There are a lot more than I had heard.”

Renatus twitched. Bradley also seems to think that there are a lot of monsters. As I suspected, Bradley also thinks there are a lot of monsters in the area.

In the original novel, Bradley was completely unaware of the ‘harbinger’. The dimensional rift opened without any prediction. The fact that Bradley senses something is amiss at this stage suggests that the opening may be larger than the “harbinger” in the original novel.

–Bradley’s paired partner dies during the first joint exercise.

The restorative power may be trying to create a ‘harbinger’ that can kill Renatus.

(Well, even so, I don’t feel like I’m going to lose. The idea of having access to inexhaustible magical power makes one feel big-headed.)

Renatus smiled faintly as he gazed into the distance at the goal, swirling magical energy rising from it.

Is it the elation of confronting the world’s mechanism, the restorative power? Or is it the fearlessness of the potential villain? The office worker in my head took a nap.

The big-headed Renatus is oblivious to this.

That “harbinger” does not always bring about powerful monsters.

For example, if a person stumbles over a small stone and falls and hits the wrong place, he or she will die.

Like a tiny pebble――

“—hh!!!”

“Renatus!?”

Renatus let out a small shriek. Bradley immediately rushed over to Renatus.

Bradley hurriedly caught Renatus in his arms as he slowly collapsed.

“What’s wrong!?”

“I’ve been bitten. The venom is…”

He pulled up his black robe slightly and removed his boots and socks, revealing two small red dots on his slender, white ankle.

A monster with a jaw strong enough to bite through a pair of marching leather shoes.

The venomous serpent.
