Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2)

『You woke up.』

Looking back, she really liked watching my sleeping face.

My hand traveled up the soft hipline all the way to the waist, giving me the urge to pull it towards my body.

The feeling of bare skin on top of bare skin was something I wasn’t very used to, especially if the skin was born soft, and felt good to touch thanks to being taken care of their whole life. absorb It made me crave for it.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“Mhmm…”

When I opened my eyes, I found a lady breathing softly in her sleep. arch I looked at her adorable pink hair, her exposed shoulders, and underneath that…

The parts of my body that were touching her skin had been warmed up to the point that it was hot. canvas The last thing I remembered was being pushed into the sewage waterway, and it seemed that she had done this to save me from hypothermia.

“…Oh dear.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

Her warm and soft body felt so good to touch, that I felt the urge to stay like this for a long time.

Even though we were in a shelter that concealed us from the wind, this was still a lot warmer than it should be.

‘This is actually very warm.’

It was probably freezing outside because the Steel Archipelago was in a perpetual winter without any other seasons due to being located right next to the Northern Kingdom.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

It shouldn’t have been more than a day, and yet I was losing instead of recovering mana.

I then realized that mana was seeping out of my body in large bulks…

“…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

The unicorn’s horn placed next to us was giving off light.

Is this the Curse of Finnbennach that Master had talked about?

———!

Right, the horn of a unicorn had the power to cleanse curses and poison, so it was safe to say that the curse that had been placed on my body had been lifted… So why was my mana…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

Estelle slowly woke up after rubbing her eyes. airport Her emerald-colored eyes soon met mine.

Ah.

“Uuun…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

I awkwardly greeted her as her cheeks immediately flushed red as if they were on fire.

“…”

“Good morning.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

No matter what I would have to do in return, this was a win for me.

“You will have to pay for this handsomely.”

“…Of course.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“Get up.”

“Thanks for saving my life yesterday.”

“Yep.”

While waiting for Estelle to wear her sacred clothes that we had been using as a blanket, I turned to the fire and found my shirt being dried next to it.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“I can move around just fine.”

“Really? legend Then let’s leave this island right now.”

Hearing that, I touched my shoulder which had been stabbed by Dun Scaith’s horn. academy I could see that a part of my clothes had been used to stop the blood like a bandage. abstract It probably wouldn’t have done much because of my regeneration ability, but I was still grateful for the thought.

“Well… You came all this way to save me so of course I should have done that. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com abandon More importantly, how do you feel, Junior?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“Nnn?”

“They probably strengthened the borders after that. arrow The port is most definitely going to be monitored heavily, and because of the characteristics of the Steel Archipelago, there’s a limit to the number of flying beasts that can fly around.”

Estelle’s voice turned noticeably soft as soon as I said that.

“That’ll be tough at the moment.”

There was a reason why the Kingdom couldn’t mobilize a group of wyverns for the war. orbit Most wyverns would end up freezing to death from the blizzard, and the only monsters that could withstand the cold were massive ones like monster carriers.

“Is there no way for us to escape then?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“There are two options.”

They weren’t the best options, but they were the best that we could manage from our current circumstances.

“First is to stay holed up in this place. autumn We wait for about, let’s say 20 days? anchor And stand our ground until the Kingdom starts their full frontal assault to destroy the Tower of Mages.”

I shook my head in response.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“The second option is to go north from here.”

Right, it was a strategy that relied purely on luck. alert There was a way to find food, but I didn’t want to risk exposing our location just yet.

“But… isn’t this the north of the island already?”

“I don’t think the Tower is so stupid that they won’t find us for 20 days.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“Wait, do you mean…”

“We will be crossing the ocean. meadow Go further north from here, the Steel Archipelago, to the Dingle Peninsula of the Northern Kingdom.”

Estelle frowned and said after biting her lower lips. matrix Even though she would have understood it already, she still looked at me in doubt.

“…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“H, have you lost your mind? atom How are we going to cross the ocean?”

The only issue with that plan was that we might inevitably end up coming across the ‘Titan Archaeologists’, but if we were lucky, we might, in fact, discover ‘that thing’ before the mages did, considering how this was earlier than the battle in the original storyline.

“It’s frozen all year long. anxiety If we stick to a path, it will be a lot easier than you think.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

The biggest reason why the second plan was better, was because it was difficult to hope for additional support even if we were to continue hiding here.

“Haa~”

Running away in a small group of two had more chances of success.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“You’re quick at adapting to the situation, aren’t you?”

After a small sigh, Estelle shook her head and opened her mouth.

“It’s not like crying would solve our problems. amateur And like you said, we can’t wait here and do nothing either.”

“Shall we find something to eat before that?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

They were both quite used to arduous and taxing jobs.

It was something I felt from the last iteration, but the princesses of this Kingdom were really wild. anxiety For Miru, it was probably because she was personally crushing all the wolves, and for Estelle, it was probably because of her demi-human protection scheme and her work as a part of the Inquisition.

“I do agree that we should look for food first. atom Let’s fill up our stomachs and leave at night.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“I had to learn a few things to make up for my lack of talent.”

“Do you know how to follow the stars?”

“Why is that?”

“Because we need to look at the constellations to head north.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

It was something I learned in the last iteration to increase my chance of survival as much as possible.

“Well, you can stay here, Saintess. galaxy I will go out and find something to eat.”

“It’s all healed now.”

“Huh? acoustic Junior? sphere Not with your body in that state.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“But, still… Are you sure it’s all healed already? alpha Oh wow, you’re right.”

“What’s wrong? atom You should stay inside; it’s cold.”

When I took off the ripped piece of clothing that was acting as a bandage and showed her the skin beneath it, Estelle uttered in surprise. anchor She then carried the red spear lying around her and quickly came after me.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

She said with a giggle.

It seemed that she really was fine.

“My clothes have cold-resistant spells on them, so it’s fine.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

It didn’t look right, but now wasn’t the time for me to worry about someone else.

Even though it was already summer, the Steel Archipelago was as cold as winter and Estelle was wearing a thin layer of clothing in that cold blizzard.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

Who in the world could possibly realize that she was the Saintess, looking at her warming her cold hands by placing them under her armpits?

“Ahh, why are my hands so cold? harbor I will try praying again later.”

“Haht…!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

On the cold, snowy plain, a cute bunny whose fur was of the exact same color as the surrounding snow, was munching on a small blade of grass.

In her eyes that had been perfect ever since birth, the bunny appeared pure and innocent like a child playing in paradise. atomic Its poking ears added even more to its charm.

Estelle tried her best to embed that adorable organism into her emerald eyes.

“Oh my god, oh my god! atom It’s so cute! action It’s so cute!!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

-Slam!

She even wanted to invite that angel to her garden of—

Kehk!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

Those were the tears of blood of someone cursing from the bottom of their hearts.

-Curse you. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. afford Curse you, damn humans…!

The inhabitant of the snowy plain cried out tears of blood while drawing its last breath as the red spear mercilessly left its target. august Lifted into the air by its formerly poking ears, the bunny’s eyes met with Estelle’s.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“You devil…”

“We were lucky. galaxy I hope there are some more lying around.”

“What do you mean?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

After that, Korin hunted another bunny and a squirrel.

“Hiing… I’m sorry, bunny. echo And sorry to you as well, squirrel…”

“Did we have to eat a bunny? alpha It’s so cute though…”

“Everything’s the same once you eat it.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“Huh? shadow W, wait!”

Estelle received the dead bunny in a stupor, but Korin ruthlessly gave the following orders.

“Saintess. legend Can you hold onto the legs for a bit?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“Huh? armor Take what off?”

Korin put his fingers into the legs that he had already poked a hole in and pulled them just like that. alien Estelle almost fell because of the sudden pull but somehow stood her ground thanks to readying herself beforehand.

“Stretch the legs out wide and hold them in place. auction That way, it’s easier to take it off.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“Huh?”

In the blink of an eye, the flesh left its former shell. abstract The red flesh with not a single bit of skin left over did not retain a fraction of its former cuteness.

-Rippp!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“I, I’m not eating this.”

Unlike the bunny, Korin used the spearhead to slice off the squirrel’s skin like one would with an apple and a fruit knife. altitude He even scratched out the frozen innards and prepared the meat that could now be placed into a skewer.

“Excuse me? antenna Being picky with food is a bad idea. adapt This little squirrel is so frozen, that I can’t even remove its skin.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

While Korin continued his hunt, Estelle found fruits and berries and showed them off with pride.

“It’s probably going to be plain because we don’t have salt, but it’s pretty fatty and should be edible.”

“I, I’m telling you no! attic I’ll have some berries instead…!”

Smelling the scent that was given off by the grilled bunny and squirrel skewers, Estelle’s stomach constantly gave her a sign.

-Growl!

However, how could the likes of berries possibly stand a chance against meat?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“…Maybe a bite, then?”

“Why don’t you just have some?”

……

“Hueeng! apple Sorry, bunny…! acid It’s so deliciousss~. acoustic I’m so sowwwyy…!”

‘It was only for a bit, but I had my power back for a second.’

Estelle realized how unbearably uncomfortable it was to be unable to use her divine energy. matrix She knew very well that she was like luggage without her prayers, so she voluntarily looked for things she could help with.

Thankfully, she used to work for the Inquisition and actively save demi-humans from discrimination, thus she was quite used to arduous tasks.

Estelle’s power was to pray and have that come to reality.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

They helped her skin remain dry even when she was under a storm, and if she were to run into a burning house to save someone, the fire wouldn’t even dare touch her hair.

It wasn’t always something that required a prayer. matrix The environment, circumstances, instincts, and reflexes – whichever it was, if there was something she wanted, her divine energy worked to make things happen for her benefit.

But now that her divine energy had been sealed, her heavenly blessing was no longer working, until last night.

In order to stop Korin from dying from hypothermia, she took off her clothes, aligned her skin with his, and warmed him up with her own body. afford Naturally, her temperature was supposed to decrease, and yet her temperature also went up for some reason.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

‘That’s interesting. academy Maybe it’s because he has the divine artifact of the sun?’

She knew that he was in possession of one of the 4 treasures deemed divine by the order ever since she researched the Undead City, Nazrea, that was cleansed in a single day after being a nuisance to humanity for centuries.

It felt similar to the warm radiance that used to envelope her when giving a prayer – it felt like she was next to the Lord, whose existence she was still uncertain of.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

Both Estelle and her sister saw symbolic value in Korin. abstract A hero of the order; the owner of a sacred artifact given by the Lord.

Symbolic value. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

That was also probably why her sister was attached to Korin Lork.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

Both Estelle and Miruam were aware that they had to one day grasp that political symbol for themselves.

Korin was like a veteran. shadow Unlike Estelle, who needed the help of others when sleeping outside, he did everything without cutting corners or forgetting anything to survive.

“Here’s some squirrel meat and fruits. abandon Have them regularly so that you don’t feel hungry.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

He looked quite laughable at a glance.

“By the way, we do look a little funny.”

Korin had attached bunny and squirrel skin all around his body to protect himself from the cold. audit Meanwhile, Estelle was still wearing her sacred clothes that clearly revealed her armpits and her thighs.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

People, who saw them wearing clothes like this in this cold weather, would probably find them crazy.

Korin handed the red spear over to Estelle. acoustic Red Spear, Gae Derg. silence It was the javelin that was several times more effective against beasts.

“Even though it’s ladies first, I was about to freeze to death after all. adjust You can hold onto this spear.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“Wow~. amateur Is it a magic spear?”

“Similar.”

“Throw this if you see an animal. armor The spear will travel by itself if you throw it decently.”

It was a shame that she didn’t have her favorite mace, but a spear was still better than nothing. zenith Estelle gladly received the red spear from him and…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“Oops!”

-Rip!

The spear was a lot colder than she thought, and she ended up dropping it.

“Huh?”

-Bam!

On the way down, the spear sliced apart the clothing around her shoulders. amateur It was just a gentle graze but…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“Hugik…! arch I, it’s so cold!”

“…”

A sudden gust of coldness struck her skin. advance Her bare feet, thighs, and armpits were immediately swallowed by the cold blizzard.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

Just then, the difficulty of their journey had increased by severalfold.

………

Seeing her shiver desperately from the cold, Korin had to hold his words back for quite some time.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

‘We look a little funny,’

……

…

Estelle regretted saying that from the bottom of her heart because it jinxed her and made them look even funnier.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

After giving her the bunny and squirrel skin that he was wearing, Korin went outside and did not return for hours.

Her clothes got sliced by the red spear and so did the anti-cold spell that was cast on her clothes, so Estelle was exposed to the harshness of mother nature without anything to protect her. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

『Wait here. altitude Don’t ever leave the fire.』

Who could have guessed that the spear Korin used to hunt beasts was the one with anti-magic traits?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

Left alone inside the cave, Estelle started to feel more and more frightened.

The cold wind blowing from outside echoed through the cave and shook the fire, and yet all she could do was crouch there, trying to warm her body up as much as possible.

“Junior? advance Junior… I’m scared…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

It was a prayer that would shock the gods even if they heard it, but as if the world had heard her desperate wish, she heard someone walking in through the entrance of the cave.

“Are you really not going to do that for me? amber Didn’t you always do it even when I was less sincere?!”

“Ugh… Lord, please protect my Junior… Junior Korin Lork and let him come back in one piece.

“And can you please do something about this cold? palette I can give a thousand prayers in a row after I go back if you want!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“Is this… a sheep?”

Estelle carefully spoke up in case it was someone pursuing them from the Tower of Mages. arena Right when she was about to heave a sigh of relief from Korin’s short reply, she was startled by the thing that Korin dropped on the ground.

“Junior… Korin?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“Ugh… Let me help you.”

“We are going to cut this guy’s skin up to use as a coat and a blanket, so you have to bear with me even if you don’t like it.”

What Korin brought was a sheep that was dead with its tongue sticking out.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

Like that, they acquired the skin of a sheep that was still red with blood.

It was surprising that he caught a sheep, but thinking of how he must have been wandering outside in this cold weather for hours to catch an animal with large enough skin, Estelle felt so sorry that she couldn’t even ask anything about it.

“…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

The sheepskin was barely enough to cover from the neck down to the feet. anchor It was slightly big for one person but was way too small for two people to use after cutting it into halves.

“…Yeah.”

“…It’s small.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

“It can’t be helped. academy I can use the squirrel and the bunny skin, so Saintess, you can…”

“Let’s come up with an idea! zenith There must be a way for us to both use it!”

“Saintess?”

“We can’t do that!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 160: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (2) by Indra Translations.

Estelle didn’t want to waste any more time than what was wasted because of her mistake, so she thought deeply before coming up with an idea.

“Right! antique I have an idea! ability There’s a way for us to both use it!”

It was way too late for him to find another one outside, and they had to leave as soon as possible to escape from the potential pursuit of the Tower.
