chapter 42
Episode42 – The Development
“Lumia?”
“………”
Rumia’s expression froze as she ran into the room, and the Great Order, which was holding out a pistol, stopped moving.
“It’s dangerous here. Kang Ha-neul’s colleagues might be there.”
Then she said that with a worried expression on her face.
“I’ll finish you…”
“Fuck.”
“…Rumia?”
But Rumia ignored the Great Order and squeezed through the fragments blocking the entrance.
“Fucked.”
Then, she muttered while looking at the river sky right before her eyes stopped breathing.
“I didn’t expect you to die so soon.”
“Rumia, what is that…”
“Be quiet.”
Rumia, who pushed the Great Order to the side, knelt down and put Kang Ha-neul on her lap, and the Great Order made a dumbfounded expression.
“Senior, can you hear me?”
“Cool…”
Then, Kang Ha-neul vomits blood and opens his eyes, looking up at Rumia.
“You…”
“Please don’t tell me.”
Even in the midst of dying, Rumia puts her hand on the chest of Kang Ha-neul, who looks at her with hateful eyes, and soon closes her eyes.
“…Wrong.”
He was not in a level of physical condition where he could live even with treatment.
Because all the vitality in his body had already disappeared.

Just like Justia on that day.
“Did you have it, skill system.”
“……..”
“That was originally mine.”
Hearing Rumia’s words, Kang Ha-neul frowned.
“I was originally the one who received it from Justia.”
“what…”
“I can use it without risk if I use it. It’s a system that was designed that way from the beginning.”
Then, after hearing those words, Kang Ha-neul speaks like a spit.
“It was true that he was a possessor.”
“Exactly me…”
Lumia, who was trying to tell the truth while holding his hand, gnaws at her teeth.
“……Ugh.”
His right hand was trembling like crazy.
Even when things have come to this point, the will of the original owner is blocking him with only malice remaining.
I wanted to remove it right away, but if I did, my abilities would almost disappear, so I was forced to wear it.
– Sreuk…
In the end, Lumia was staring intently at the hateful being who had made it this far by preventing her from stepping out.
– Kwajik!!
He lowered his hand with all his might.
“Lu, Lumia!?”
“Ugh…”
Then, without understanding the situation, the Great Order, who was pointing a gun at Kang Ha-neul beside her, screams in surprise.
– Whoops, whoops…
Nevertheless, Lumia exerts her superhuman strength and violently slashes her right hand.
“haha…”
How much time had passed, and when her right hand fell from her arm, Lumia bowed her head and trembled.
“…Yeah, like this, I lose my ability.”
After muttering like that, she looked up at the river sky.
Kang Ha-neul, whose lifespan was less than a few minutes, was looking at her with an expression of incomprehension.
“I took possession of this body a few hours after Justia died.”
“…What?”
“I tried to save him somehow…”
Lumia, who had been muttering with a trembling voice, soon smiled bitterly.
‘Is there any use in saying it anyway?’
she knew
As long as Ariel is there, this episode will disappear.
I don’t know if the same protagonist himself can’t keep his memories in her ‘Save & Load’.
This means that no matter how much they vomit here, they will not be able to remember.
“Mr. Trauma.”
However, it was irrelevant to the current Lumia.
He tried to do something by suppressing his natural temper, but it was because his patience had already reached the limit.
now it’s all over Now that the ugly right hand was removed, I just wanted to release what I was holding on to at once.
Even if Ariel’s Save & Load activates, if she has memories, at least it will relieve her stress.
“Why did you take off your mask here?”
“……..uh?”
With that thought in mind, Rumia pulled out the mask that Kang Ha-neul was hiding behind her back and brought it in front of her.
“Mask…? That’s trauma…”
“Please be quiet.”
Lumia, who had shaken off Great’s hand trying to wrap her arms with clothes, looked at the river sky, which was looking at her with blurred eyes.
“You… what?”
“I’m just an ordinary fan who used to like you.”
“What I said earlier… Is it true?”
Then, with a trembling voice, Kang Ha-neul began to ask questions to Lumia.
“You have no reason to lie at this point, do you?”
“ha ha ha…..”
Kang Ha-neul, who rolled her unfocused eyes and looked for her place, reached out and grabbed her.
“Your body’s original owner… Why the hell did you do that?”
“……..”
“Why did you… ruin my life like that?”
And the voice of Kang Ha-neul echoed in the room.
“why?”
Lumia, who was staring down at his calm expression because too many emotions had melted in him, answered in a low voice.
“I don’t know.”
Of course, Lumia couldn’t answer because she didn’t know what the owner of this body had done in the past.
“But one thing is for sure.”
But this was the only answer.
“The owner of this body is the one who made you like this.”
It was the greatest consideration that Lumia could give to Kang Ha-neul, who witnessed the terrible story that he had to become an absolute evil with his own eyes.
“…is it.”
Hearing those words, Kang Ha-neul, who closed her eyes, murmured in a faint voice.
“Hey.”
“yes.”
“If you’re not really the culprit, but an innocent person possessed by that body…”
“I already killed the culprit. Look at that wriggling hand over there.”
“No, not that.”
Then, Kang Ha Neul barely raised one finger and pointed to his arms.
“Before Ariel arrives, please use this.”
The card that appeared to belong to Paradise in his arms contained the concept of Kim Ira’s transformation.
“As much as… I can’t tell her…”
I know the design well because I have used it several times in the game. As Lumia picks up the card with that design in her left hand, Kang Ha-neul mumbles in a fading voice.
“Let me die as Oh Ji-seok, not as Kang Ha-neul…”
And, the silence that came for a while.
“”………””
Lumia, who was quietly looking down at Oh Ji-seok, puts the card on the face of Kang Ha-neul, who stopped moving.
– Shaa…
Then, Kang Ha-neul’s face distorted and Oh Ji-seok’s figure began to come to mind.
“Hey…”
“…yes.”
“Did I do well…?”
So, the last question of Kang Ha-neul, who turned into Oh Ji-seok again.
“With what I have done… will peace come to this world again…?”
“sure.”
In the final chapter, Lumia knew what the world would be like without him, but she nodded quietly nonetheless.
“Okay then…”
“……..”
“I’m sorry for you too…”
Then, Kang Ha-neul, who felt his mind wandering and intuited the end, muttered to squeeze the end.
“Please don’t ask Ariel…”
The many short lives of Kang Ha-neul.
‘Justia…’
That’s how it ended.
‘I’m leaving now, so please wait…’

“Sleep well.”
Lumia, who brushed Kang Ha-neul’s hair, covered his eyes with her left hand and whispered.
“senior.”
The excessive bleeding that occurred when she cut off her right hand was also causing her to become confused.
‘…when you open your eyes, what point do you want to return to?’
I don’t remember this incident itself. Go back to some point in the past with memories.
In either case, there was no way that Kang Ha-neul would completely die.
“I, there.”
Because of that, she tried to quietly close her eyes with peace of mind.
“Rumia.”
The Great Order grabbed her by the shoulders.
“How did all this happen?”
Great’s expression was very serious.
He did not fully understand what was going on, but he was well aware that it was a very serious situation.
“No, tell me.”
Because of that, she began to urge Rumia, who was looking at her coldly, for an answer.
“…if you really want to know.”
However, Lumia, who already had no energy to explain everything on her own, shook off Great’s hand once more and said.
“Can I give you an order?”
Hearing those words, Great started looking at Lumia with swaying eyes.
“Tell me the truth.”
“But for you…”
“My abilities are gone. Now with any attack.”
At Rumia’s voice, which contained no emotion, Great quietly opened his mouth in a cold sweat.
“…Tell me the truth.”
“Is that an order?”
“Tell me the truth.”
That’s how Great’s ability was activated against Rumia for the first time.
“Why does Kang Ha-neul have a mask of trauma?”
The penalty of giving Great a reverse order disappeared with Kang Ha-neul’s death.
“What do you mean by the conversations we just had?”
Realizing that, the Great Order began to give orders without hesitation.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“……..”
“Tell me everything.”
The moment her orders were all over.
“To sum it up in one word.”
Rumia, who had begun to lose her senses due to excessive blood loss, borrowed the power of her abilities and finally opened her mouth.
“You’ve been tricked by Rumia.”
“What?”
“They were framed by Lumia for killing Justia. Even though they didn’t have any blood involved, they drove the younger brother who was there for you to the end, together with his colleagues, to die.”
And the stillness started.
“The explanation begins now.”
To Great, who was looking down at him with a blank expression, Rumia sneered.
“So, calm down and listen.”
If she were to possess this world, it was something she wanted to do at least once. In many fanfictions, ‘the development’ has been written in various ways.
“Mr. Kang Maru.”
It is starting to materialize here and now.
