Isekai No Gakusei: Students From Another World
A Friend

"Non-element Spell: Boost," Quickly, Darren managed to kill a swarm of Giant Spiders with a single slash.

After killing them, Darren approached the bodies. He took the eyes from the spider.

"This spider's eye I might be able to sell, even if not how much" Darren thought. "I need to find more."

Not felt, the sun began to rise. Darren's been hunting monsters all night and getting a lot of stuff. If this keeps up, he might get rich quick.

"Twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six..." Darren counted the money after selling his hunting proceeds. "Thirty silver coins. I can buy a lot of things with this."

Darren thought of buying a new suit, considering that yesterday he spent his money on magic robes. He also began to feel uncomfortable with the smell of his clothes.

"I have to take a shower first" Darren thought.

Suddenly, "Oy, Darren," Rolf called out to him from behind. He also approached Darren. "Ew. You stink so much. Aren't you taking a shower?"

"Ah yes. I just got back from the woods" Darren replied.

"The forest? Why are you going to the forest so early?" Ask Rolf.

"Actually I spent the night in the forest hunting" Darren said, scratching his head.

"Ah, now I understand!" Rolf seemed to know something. "So that's why you can be so strong."

"Eh?" Darren's confused.

"You always hunt alone at night. You must've piled up a lot of levels all night" Rolf said excitedly. "Take me sometime."

"Well," Darren said awkwardly.

"By the way, you should take a shower!" Rolf said as he covered his nose. "People can be bothered by your body odor."

"I also plan to. Do you know a nice bath?" Ask Darren for advice.

"To my knowledge, not far from the bar yesterday, there was a bathhouse. Some people say that the bath is very comfortable" said Rolf. "There is hot water, and also provides back rub services."

"Hmm.. sounds interesting," Darren said as he held onto his chin.

Rolf pointed his way to Darren. He also told her that the entrance fee of the bath was about two silver coins.

After that Darren thanked him and went straight to the bath.

"What does it feel like to take a bath in the bath?" Darren started muttering. "I've never tried it. When viewed from the anime, bathing in the bath looks very fun. See the characters dive to the nose."

.

"Based on Rolf, he didn't tell me that..." Darren became furious, "This is a mixed bath!"

Darren was frustrated. "What if I accidentally see a woman!?" Darren said to himself. "I don't want to see such strange things!"

Don't want to, Darren has to keep taking a shower. Than her body odor. He tried his best to keep his eyes.

"This place is crowded!" Darren's in shock. "I have to really take care of my eyes! Isn't there some kind of magic to blind the view!?"

Darren started soaking in the hot water. Actually it's quite comfortable, as long as he's aloof in the corner.

"It's better if I face the wall" Darren said, looking away at the bathing wall.

It turns out that filling your energy with a bath is more fun than meditating. Darren sometimes becomes sleepy and accidentally falls asleep, but wakes up as his face touches the water.

"Perhaps after this, I should rest at the inn," Darren thought.

"Darren-san?" It turns out Yuzuna was also in the bath.

Unknowingly, Darren immediately turned his head towards Yuzuna. His eyes were straight towards his chest.

"Yeah..! Darren fuck!" Yuzuna shouted while throwing a bucket.

"Pardon me! I didn't mean it!" Darren.

.

.

.

"I didn't think we'd meet in the same bathhouse" Darren said in his heart. "Huff, I just want a quiet day where I can be alone and enjoy my life."

Darren and Yuzuna bathe in the same bath, but they turn around each other. Darren turned slightly towards Yuzuna.

"Actually she looks cute too" murmured Darren. "No. no. What am I talking about. I always thought all women were cute. I even forgot what the definition of cute is."

Darren slightly looked towards Yuzuna. He saw Yuzuna seemed to be moody. Is he still angry about last night?

"Yuzuna-san," Call Darren slowly.

"Yes?" Yuzuna Sahut.

"Are you mad at me for not taking you last night?" Asked Darren in a clear tone.

No response in a few seconds. Darren became more anxious.

"I'm sorry," Darren said softly.

"Yes. I understand," replied Yuzuna. "You're actually just worried about me, aren't you?"

Darren just lowered his head. It was true what Yuzuna said. Darren knows that he is stronger than Yuzuna, but protecting someone is not easy.

In life, everyone is faced with a choice. Every choice we make will lead us to consequences.

"I've always been alone this whole time" Darren told Yuzuna. "I have no friends, and no one to rely on. Wherever I go, I'm always alone. Almost everything I do alone."

Yuzuna looked back. He could see how sad Darren's face was that kept his head down.

"Darren-san?" Yuzuna said slowly.

"I used to have a friend. He's a good guy. He was so great and amazing that he amazed me. Wherever he went, I followed him often. He also shared his experience with me often, "Tears slowly dripped from Darren's eyes. "We are like family. We go together, and do things together. Some people even thought we were brothers. Until the end, because of my stupidity..."

Yuzuna felt sadness at every Darren speech. She could vaguely imagine how emotional Darren's story was.

"What's? What's going on?" Ask Yuzuna.

"Because of my stupidity, he fell off the roof of the house. He fell with his head on the ground. His head was hit hard, making him go to the hospital" Darren said.

"But, it's not one hundred percent your fault, is it?" Yuzuna is trying to make Darren cheerful.

"No! It's all my fault" Darren said emotionally. "I was the one who asked him to go up to the roof of the house. It's because I'm too scared to climb up the stairs."

Yuzuna remained silent. He wants to help Darren by making him better, but he fears his words will make things worse.

"If I wasn't a coward. Suppose I was a strong man" Darren said.

Yuzuna turned her body. He raised Darren's head and looked into his eyes. Tears were already flowing down her cheeks.

"You are strong" Yuzuna said. "For me, you are the brave prince who saved my life."

Darren was silent.

"Look at me!" Yuzuna. "I wouldn't be here right now if you hadn't come to save me."

"If you hadn't come, maybe I would have been a toy to the Lizardmen" Yuzuna continued. "Anyway, this body. You're the one who saved her."

Darren's eyes became bright.

"I understand how you feel" Yuzuna said softly as she wiped Darren's tears. "You just don't want to make other people miserable when you're around you. You're a good man."

"Yes, I don't want to lose anyone anymore" Darren said slowly. "I can't protect you. I always worry if there's someone near me. I'm afraid my existence will make things difficult for them."

"That's not true. You're a strong man. I'm sure you can protect the people you love" Yuzuna said.

Darren smiled too.

The longer, the bath is getting crowded. Darren decided to finish his bath. Being in such a crowd of people made him uncomfortable.

"Anu... Yuzuna-san, I'll go first" Pamit Darren with a smile. "Thank you. Because of you, I feel better."

"Ah, yes. See you later" replied Yuzuna.

After coming out of the bath, Darren went straight to the clothes shop yesterday. There, he bought new clothes and also some existing equipment.

The shop owner pulled out a black uniform. The clothes are made of elastic and strong fabric fibers. Suitable for Darren who is a fighter rarely close.

"You look like you fit in black. Plus your dark red cloak" said the shop owner. "A total of one set of black uniforms I'll price you five silver coins."

Darren paid for his clothes and immediately put them on as soon as he left the store.

With a dark robe, and his clothes were all black. Darren looks like a professional witch. He also began to move his hands.

"This outfit is quite pliable. With this I can move my body more freely" murmured Darren. "No wonder it can be so expensive."

Darren immediately returned to the inn. There he gave up his old clothes and asked the innkeeper to wash them.

By only paying a few pieces of copper money, Darren's previously smelly and shabby training uniform was immediately clean and dry.

As a memory of his old world, Darren keeps the clothes in a box. The box is then placed in the closet.

"As a sign that I've been dead" Darren said, closing his closet.

At least now he must keep looking ahead. Because of course there will be many obstacles that arise in this new life. And this time he will make sure that he will not die a second time.

"Yuzuna-san, thank you very much..."
