Nate didn't go to school.

For a moment, I doubted the words after my head turned pure white.Without any strength in the facial muscles, there is no voice coming out of the slightly empty mouth.

Steyl and Arthur heard me breathing, and I finally remembered that I was breathing as well.

Captain Column nodded and continued his words as if he had drawn our thoughts.

“I haven't been to school since this morning.I checked the boys' dorm room many times, but there was no sign of entering.I asked the guard knight at the school gate if he was a human like Nate, but it hasn't been confirmed. "

Understood. Why did Captain Column look so serious when Stale and Arthur saw him?I've been worried about Nate's absence.

Thinking like that...... the blood faded.I don't know why it happened.However, considering the reason why Nate was not there, the temperature was trampled from his whole body.

While you feel your throat dry up, you squeeze your fingers together to mislead your fingers.

"Of course, it might be his convenience, but... I'm a little concerned."

If you hold your forehead down and put a wrinkle between your eyebrows, you can't afford to nod.

Captain Column, everyone here knows about Nate.And I'm sure you're thinking the same thing.

Nate's words come back vividly yesterday, without being able to swallow them while his dry throat dried up.

I'm just getting on my feet a little bit.

That's what he said when he got in shape.

He didn't say what he meant, but now I'm almost sure, I just have a bad feeling about it.I can't think of any other reason why he wouldn't come to school, because he was eager to finish his invention until yesterday.Yesterday, he was happy that it was so easy to work on, and if he wanted to go ahead with the invention, he would come.

There is a reason I can't stay at home.

Nate had always invented it, even when he was at school.

I went all the way to and from school, but I kept going to school.If you don't want to take classes, there's no reason to come to school on purpose.It's not compulsory like my previous life, and I'm not worried about the public or taking exams.There are two reasons why he came all the way to school.One is because your parents wanted you to.And the other thing was to escape to a safe place.

Make it, make it, make it every day. Thanks to you, it's all right.

That said, Nate of the game laughed and slapped Amlet with an old scar on her leg.

Nate's house is in debt.

Your parents worked hard to return a large amount of money, but the reminder was directed not only to your parents, but also to Nate's invention.I was told that if I made an invention, I would buy it, reduce the debt and interest, and Nate would make an invention and sell it every day.... that was his first tragedy.

Knowing Nate's invention or not, he often received more reminders from his parents than from his parents.They yelled at me to make more inventions, and I was swayed by the violence. At the start of the game, I didn't take out any debts, but there were thin old wounds on Nate's legs.His confession, which at first only said to Amlet, "I just rolled around in the past" and "I got dumped by the invention," was too painful.Without it, his body would have lost even one arm at the start of the game.

Yesterday, when I found Nate's injury, I thought it might have happened.In the game, it was not said when the inventions got worse, and yesterday, even if I checked my body, I was only injured by my legs and stomach.It's not like the game has old wounds all over my body, and I'm satisfied with my body.But if the violence against him has rapidly worsened...

"Woah... Philippe, you can't go directly to Nate, can you?"

"... I'm sorry, it seems impossible."We haven't known each other for a few days. "

Still, Sail couldn't move directly to Nate.

Although the transportable weight is increasing, to be able to move directly to the person in an instant, you must have a specific feeling after meeting the person in person many times, talking, and grabbing the person.It took more than half a year for Val and I to move from one moment to the next, and it took more than a year for Leon to meet at regular visits and ceremonies.I couldn't even go back to Nate.

Right, I let my gaze swim while reflecting on the impatient order I made.

I knew it from the beginning.Ever since I remembered Nate, his circumstances and background have changed.... so I wanted you to choose another way.

But Nate chose to repay his parents' debt by asking them to buy out their invention at a higher price.

Unless he cooperates, that's the only way.But if Nate is in such a terrible state that he can't even get out of the house, then I can't say anything anymore.That is not the end of the tragedy he was talking about in the game.He wasn't the only one to suffer as a result of the debt collection getting worse and worse.Even if Las Boss wasn't involved, the debt collection wouldn't change.When that happens, he really, really......

"Something's wrong with Nate..."

"Jeanne, please calm down. I haven't decided what happened to Nate yet.”

"That's right, I know you're worried about yesterday, but..."

Stale and Arthur each touched their shoulders and spoke in a low voice as they scratched their lateral hair and rushed their hearts without stopping.

But I can't calm down just now.The three of them could not speak clearly about the possibility that Nate was being subjected to violence on a daily basis.It is only that he is forced to invent by debt.Until recently, there were no old injuries to Nate's leg, and his hand was not a prosthetic hand.I also checked the bandage.

Everyone seemed to think that Nate was being violent, but I couldn't confirm that he was being violent after hearing from Nate!Until yesterday only...

Even now, something may be happening to Nate and his family.It is worth dragging his legs to yesterday and not coming, and it is worth stopping him from coming to school every day until now.

But I don't know his house or his location.At school, he did not know the address because he was assumed to be a child of the lower class, and he kept his mouth shut no matter how much he asked.There is no such thing as his address in the game.At that time, I'll already have no home to go home to...

There is no way, no way.If this were to happen, I'd say it's impossible, but now I'm even more sorry if I had some knight on him.Whether you're narrowing down to an intermediate level of living space or using a man-sea tactic to find Nate's house, you'll have a day to spare.What should I do, if it's really too late.....

With your thoughts mixed, you forget to breathe and turn your head.But there is no good way to deal with it.We don't know where Nate is.The hand that scratched my hair tightened my ears.Yesterday, if you forcefully ask Nate about his house, all this regret will be in vain...

"Jeanne. So what...?"

This time, Captain Column, who had been talking to me before, speaks to me.

The sound of the heart echoed extra to the words of Captain Column, who was silent as if something was still happening to Nate.He raised his gaze to him consciously and clenched his fist with his hand holding his chest.Even through the fist, the contraction of the heart clearly passed to my fingers.I desperately chilled my head to listen, concentrating my hearing on Captain Column's words; and

"... eh?"

Neither I, nor Steyl, nor Arthur could speak.

If you leak the word "I mean...?", Captain Column will talk to you about the details lurking behind your back.When I noticed it, my mouth that was supposed to be closed tightly opened up.

Be attentive to your surroundings so that others don't hear you, and still choose your words.My determination hardened in my head before I could finish my listening.I can't stand it anymore.

I swallowed it in my mouth and tied my teeth once.Consider the actions to be taken. Jeanne inhales and releases her breath while Jeanne and Steil call out to her.

"Huffval, please come right now."

If I put my strength into my stomach and stretched my throat, I could hear it echoing behind the school building more than I thought.

Jeanne, Arthur, and Captain Column called out to me in an uncontrollable voice.I thought it was the back of the school building, but there is no answer because I am not nearby.Captain Column made sure there was no one there, so I couldn't start from scratch.But if you're not here!

Philip, you can call him now!

I rushed to the staircase, screaming at the instantaneous movement just in my head.

At that moment, Stale's eyes turned round to see what I was thinking."Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait."Even though I have no eyes, I can tell by my head that I can move instantaneously when I open it like this.Then, even with the cards, I grabbed Stale's hand with both hands, as if to hurry up anyway.Even Captain Column was puzzled, and Arthur spoke up to stop me alongside Stale.

"Ja, Nne, this is it!" Captain Column, after all. "

"That's right! And I'm still in the second round!""....."

"Kusoko, at least call me where you are."

I raise my face to a familiar roar.

Looking at it, Val was about to slide down the wall behind the school building while passing special abilities.I thought he was on the roof, but he is still not allowed to enter the locked area.Then maybe he was somewhere inside the school building, not outside.From the moment he appeared, he raised his hand to Val, who was suddenly twisting his face, and called out, "This way."

Arthur and Stale, who were trying to stop him, dropped their shoulders and held their heads as if they had given up half of his appearance.Captain Column keeps his voice quiet, but he can't back down here.It wasn't just a hunch. Nate was definitely being cornered right now.If we don't stop now, we may not be able to recover...

When I told him what I needed to do to land on the ground, he yelled at me.If they don't, they'll show their willingness to withdraw, and they'll grab the hands of Stale and Arthur, who stand together on both sides.Suddenly, the two grabbed their shoulders up and down, but they immediately grabbed me back like they wanted to accompany me.She called out to Captain Column and stretched her throat up into the sky at Deputy Harrison, who would be somewhere.

I'm here in this shape to help them.

"I'm leaving early..."

It makes no sense if we don't make it in time.
