I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 24

Chapter 24 The Heroes from Earth The D-Rank Hero, Kashima Kobato, was walking along a luxurious corridor paved with carpets . The castle have an impression of being the same as those in your favorite fantasy movies . The first thought that would come to mind would be that it resembles a Medieval European style . ...I feel a bit disgusted about my lack of vocabulary . Nonetheless, this is one of the scenery that I admired . [.........] If it weren’t for this situation though, I might have been glad . I raise my head . My field of view changes from the feet to the back of the human heads . Leading the group is the goddess along with my following classmates from 2-C . It’s like we’re on a tour trip . [There’s one thing you all have to do before I hand over a unique item . ] The goddess said so . I closed my eyes . I clasped my hands together as if like I’m praying for something . (I’m scared...) That moment when that third wolf has suddenly burned up . At that time, my heart was seized with fear . After the measurement, I was shrinking in the corner of that room . There’s more than 10 other classmates along with me who were shaking in despair . I understood what was happening with that magic circle . There were those dreadful words that were flying about . Kirihara Takuto, Oyamada Shougo, and even that Yasu Tomohiro had changed too . Also those classmates who speak of abuse and mockery . Even that goddess . I’m scared of them . [F**k you, sh*tty goddess!] (Mimori-kun...) Tears can’t help but flow out of my eyes . (I’m sorry... I’m sorry... I can’t do anything...) △ There was once a day where I had found a cat lying down near the school gate . It seem to be terribly weak . Everybody ignored that cat . It was only two boys who passed by at that time that has took interest in it . They took pictures of the amusing cat with their smartphone . [If we post this image on and get a lot of reactions on Insta, I’ll help that cat! Heck, if it spread all over the place, maybe I’ll be talked about on TV!] INSTA is a social network who focuses on images . In the end, those students did not return . I was left standing alone on the spot . (W-what should I do...?) First of all, I should search for information on my smartphone with the keywords “cat” and “dying” . My fingers were shaking . It has always been like this . If I don’t rely on something, I can’t make a move myself . I can’t decide what to do by myself . [Uwwaaahhh!?] I ended up finding an image of a cat’s corpse . The fingers that had been operation my smartphone froze . I closed my eyes tightly . (It’s impossible... to continue searching, I don’t want to do that anymore...) [Kashima?] A voice called out to me . It’s a boy’s voice . [Ah... Mimori-kun...] It’s a boy from the same class, Mimori Touka . We have never spoken before . He’s a boy who doesn’t stand out that much . Or rather, he have so little presence . I feel some familiarity with him though . Why is that? It’s because he doesn’t have that scary impression like from the group of Kirihara Takuto . [Wait, that cat...] [Ah, yeah...] I explained the circumstances . And then Mimori-kun replied with “I understand . ” . [Eh?] [Let’s take it to the vet . ] [Ah . ] Veterinarian . That’s right . Why haven’t I thought of going there first? [Did you hurt yourself somewhere?] Mimori-kun gently held the cat in his arms . [Calm down, will you?] (For Mimori-kun... to make a face like that...) And so, we went to a veterinarian . Apparently, it seems that the cat’s leg was injured . The cat’s also weak because it’s lacking from sufficient nutrition . The vet told us that it’d be fined if the cat would be treated . The relieved me left the veterinary hospital with Mimori-kun . [Mimori-kun... T- thank you...] [It’s fine . I actually like cats . ] [Ah, about the money–] The payment have been paid by Mimori-kun . I had only been watching the cat . It seems that he had paid them at that time . I had hurriedly took out my wallet at that time . But Mimori-kun just smiled . [It’s fine about the money . In the first place, I was the one who suggested that we bring it to the vet . ] [But...] [It’s fine already . I’m actually the type to expend money on things that matter . ] I can’t come up with the words to reply back . It’s always been like this . Just easily accepting of the other party’s words . Always been adjusting to the other party . That’s how I avoid even the slightest sign of a quarrel . Inaction . (I have to find a topic... with a topic, even I should be able to say something...) I made a clumsy smile . I’m quite good at “escaping” at things with a smile . [Say, Mimori-kun... d-do you like animals?] [Ah, I like them . ] Mimori-kun’s eyes look like they are looking at somewhere quite far in the distant sky . [They’re better than humans . ] [...eh?] (Mimori... kun?) Mimori-kun looks quite surprised . His smile looks like he’s troubled by something . [Ahhh– no no, just now... that’s not really the case! You know, animals don’t have to worry how they’re different around others, unlike how humans think . Besides, I really like my parents right now . ] That’s quite a vague excuse . I feel like he’s just making it up . If I remember it right, there seems to be some kind of culture where boys at a certain age would dare to say that they “hate humanity” just in order to make it so that they appeared to be unique from other people . The thing is that they have a different sense of character from the others, that they would think (or make others think) that they were cooler than them . That’s what is written on the internet . ( I often rely on the internet . Even if I’m unskillful at talking, I should still reply kindly . ) However, Mimori-kun looks like he’s really trying to steer away in a hurry . It’s like he really failed at hiding something . I have been having that feeling . [Umm... a- anyway... you know— you’re quite kind, Kashima . ] [Eh? Uhmmm... T- that’s not true at all... it’s you, Mimori-kun that’s... a- anyway... s- see you tomorrow at school...] [Ah? Ah . Be careful on your way home, Kashima . ] Since then, I haven’t talked to Mimori Touka . I didn’t have the courage to speak . To talk with the boys in our school . That hurdle was too high for a shy person like Kashima Kobato . On the other hand, there was only that one time when I talked Mimori-kun . But I had ignored it . After all, I didn’t have any courage . Since then, I have always felt a little guilty towards Mimori Touka . Incidentally, the cat at that time had now been a member of the Kashima family . v (For my classmates to be like that...) This class is scary . When Oyamada kicked Yasu’s seat on the bus, I was quite frightened . I must not make eye contact with Oyamada Shogou . If I do, I may die from heart attack . I’m a coward . There’s also that third wolf... (Does a hero have to fight such a thing? That’s impossible, absolutely...) The goddess-sama is also scary . I can’t say it exactly, but there’s something I don’t like about her . On the other hand, Sogou Ayaka was quite amazing . She fought against the goddess even in that kind of situation . Ayaka is different from me . Even the Takao sisters . I can’t behave that way . Kirihara Takuto, Oyamada Shogou and Yasu Tomohiro are different . Everyone in this class is better than me . I look down at my feet . (A cowardly D-Rank Hero... I wonder if I will be discarded too . ) [Ko–ba–to–?] [Ah...] I raise my face . [What are you staring blankly at? Are you also anxious?] [Ikusaba-san . ] A smiling female student talked to me while she’s walking backwards . [Asagi . ] [Eh?] [Me actually... I don’t like being called being called by my surname, so I often said it back in our classroom . If you knew and yet still persist on calling me like that, 70 % of this class may ostracize you, you know?] [I... I’m sorry . ] Ikusaba Asagi . Her measurement should have been B-Rank... Oyamada Shougo’s A-Rank appraisal result outshined Asagi’s B-Rank result and thus was washed away, but her Rank is still higher than most of the class . The top of this class consists of Kirihara Takuto’s group . However, if it’s just limited to the female’s group, it can be said that Asagi’s group have the largest power . It would be bad if Ikusaba Asagi looks at you with a bad light . Everybody, every girls understand that . So, I don’t go against it . I’d even flatter her just to be taken in . They must see me as a harmless bystander . I chose to be in a neutral position . I usually try to be as invisible as the air as long as possible . Even in breaks, I would just read FreeWebNovels secretly . [Oh, right~? Is it okay if I confirm something, Poppo?] Asagi often calls me “Poppo” . Is it because of that song “Hatopoppo” . (T/N: dunno about the reference here actually . Poppo could be referred to as “choo-choo” as in the sound of train . Poppo can then be said as a nickname for her because she always the one who follows . Hatopoppo... A hat for train drivers? Hato could also mean pigeon, which can also be read as Kobato, which is her name . ) [Uh, yeah... what is it?] Asagi moved to my side and put her hand around my waist . I won’t let it go— my airiness . [It’s just what I think would happen, but probably this class... would collapse sooner or later . ] (eh...?) [Collapse...?]
