chapter 36
36 – Inside the theater after the play (2)
“So how did you find out about this place?”
Now that I have finished my greetings, I asked about the business that came to me next.
“I don’t remember telling you where I am.”
After telling Han Si-yeon about Mine, I also gave the information to Rias through my contact information.
‘After that, there was an explosive amount of text messages that turned the device into an electric massager.’
But I was busy putting bullets into the hearts of the Mine guys, and there was no particular reason to receive them, so I just ignored them all.
“…… Judging from the fact that he sent such a text message, I don’t think he would have left everything to me alone. So I grabbed mine and ran around doing some research in various ways.”
Han Si-yeon, who was looking at Monica lying under me for a moment, raised her head and looked at me.
“After investigating like that, I heard eyewitness reports of the sudden death of Mine in several places. I just felt it when I heard it.”
Hwaruk-
Ferocious sparks blazed in her eyes, which were looking straight at me.
“The feeling that you are sniping Mine from somewhere far away.”
“So, you searched all the buildings around here simply for that clumsy reason?”
“That’s right, while killing the demons, I was looking for both sides, and I saw a building cleverly hidden by a barrier.”
I didn’t ask how they found the building hidden by the barrier.
I was the one who gave Siyeon Han the crest of good luck.
I already knew what kind of performance it had, even if she didn’t bother to tell me.
“But finding the barrier and breaking through the barrier are two different stories, right?”
“I don’t know about that, because I kept cutting toward the barrier, so there was a gap in the middle, so I just came in quickly.”
“When is that?”
“A little while ago.”
“Aha.”
Hearing this made me feel good.
‘When I asked how he got in, it was because of me.’
Anyway, Siyeon Han seemed to have slipped in through the gap created by the unstable shaking of the barrier when I took Monica’s barrier.
‘If you say it’s my mistake, you can say it’s my mistake.
Should I say that she is one of the main characters in this game?
The ability to dig into the center of the case was no joke.
‘It reminds me of how dangerous the protagonists of this game are.’
I laughed like that while watching Han Shi-yeon.
Well, in the end, it wasn’t such a bad thing, so I decided to just move on.
Crucially, I was too tired right now to pay attention to these minor mistakes.
So I decided to do it again when my loose thoughts became tight again.
Seureung-
At that time, I heard a small, smooth cry of steel in my ears.
‘Yes, it’s the path I chose, so even if I’m tired, I’ll do what I have to do.’
Because I know, I hope you don’t rush me so brutally.
I muttered that to myself and looked at Siyeon Han who pulled out two swords.
“Is that the business that brought me all the way here?”
“Then you thought I came all the way here to catch a thief with you?”
I didn’t want that, but I was confident that I would gladly shuffle the cards if I was willing to.
But, ignoring my hopes, her mouth moved.
“Of course…… “
Ssiik-
A ferocious smile hung on her lips, like that of a hungry tiger that had finally cornered her prey.
“I came all the way here with only the thought of stepping on you, you bastard.”
Haa, I’m dying for real.
I knew about it because I had seen it several times through the video, but it was more than I could have imagined when I saw it in person.
“Are obsessive women unpopular?”
“You’re not interested in that?”
At my words, Siyeon Han said nervously.
“And even if I had this kind of personality, I would be more popular than you.”
Certainly, with that look and that body, you can seduce not only men but also women, so I wasn’t wrong.
How do you know that?
I saw it by chance after appearing in Algorithm for a while.
There were lilies in full bloom in the video.
I asked cautiously, erasing useless old memories.
“Did you feel so bad about getting a dropkick in her face?”
“…… Are you sitting here asking that as a question?”
Han Si-yeon’s face twisted as she looked at me.
Well, even if it was me, I would be embarrassed if I got hit by a drop kick in the middle of walking.
“I’ll tell you in advance, stop thinking about running away. Then I’ll make some allowances for it.”
“How will you account for that?”
“Since you stepped on my face, it would normally be the death penalty…… I have a few questions for you, so I’ll give you a half-tone.”
I’m going to ask……
“It’s roughly expected, but I’ll ask you out of courtesy. What are you so curious about?”
“All.”
This was another answer full of greed that exceeded expectations.
“Everything.”
While I was staring at you with dumbfounded eyes, Han Si-yeon hit me in the eye with her determined eyes and said,
“The information about Mine you gave me via text, from how you knew it to who the woman lying on the floor is…… I will have to tell you everything.”
“Are you going to listen to all of that?”
“It will happen.”
Seureung-
“I’ll take off that annoying mask and fan you until you die, and then I’ll make it happen.”
Anyway, I was worried that someone might not be the main character. Except for the confidence, it was a corpse.
With her head tilted, I stared at Yeon as she aimed her sword at me, then said.
“I would like to ask just in case, but if you tell me the information obediently, will you be able to avoid the half-tone?”
“No, absolutely not.”
Han Si-yeon said firmly.
“Getting information is the second thing, and getting revenge on you for the day is the first thing, but that can’t be possible.”
Anyway, the chest is needlessly small for a big topic.
“In addition, information can be obtained automatically by beating you and dragging you around.”
I grumbled like that, but it seems that I said it after thinking for myself.
‘Well, that’s definitely the best scenario from her point of view.’
But her perfect plan had one fatal flaw.
Koktak-
Her I said, looking at her with her head tilted.
“Do you have the ability to do that?”
“That’s it, you’ll find out if you check it now.”
“…… Hmm, what’s good?”
I said as I sat on the ledge on the roof.
“I didn’t plan on doing this here, but we promised to meet and fight on the weekend, so let’s fight. The timing is perfect, the location is great, and…… “
Siyeon Han’s eyes narrowed as she looked at me.
“As much as you want something from me, I actually have something to ask of you.”
Wheek-
“So let’s fight cleanly and let the losing side listen to the winning side.”
“What is this?”
As Han Si-yeon looked at the object I threw, she said with a puzzled look.
“Oh, that. It’s called an ampoule, but it’s a good potion for physical recovery.”
There were all sorts of novelties in the things sold at the store.
And among them, there was a future potion that wasn’t in this world yet, and that I had only seen in the video.
It was the one Siyeon Han was holding right now, and the one I used while fighting Monica was the same one.
Well, what I used was an ampoule for buffing, not recovery.
“…… How are you going to write this?”
“I just inject it into my arm and press the tip.”
Pushuk-
“Oh, really. Amazing. Did you have something like this?”
Han Shi-yeon said that she was surprised that her body, which had been exhausted until just a moment ago, was starting to become more energetic. She opened her eyes wide and looked at her body.
She said, “I honestly thought it was possible that she gave me some weird pills or something, but she gave me something bigger than I thought.”
“Well, it’s a light investment.”
Actually, the point value of that ampoule was not that light.
But here she is, she just decided to pamper me with a bluff.
“At first glance, it seems like I’ve been rolling a lot even though I’ve taught you how to fight…… After losing to me, it would be difficult to make excuses that you lost because of that.”
If possible, I had to make sure to break her ego in this fight.
Pajik-!
“You’re very relaxed, aren’t you? If you’re doing well, would you like to sit there and eat?”
“I’d love to if possible, but unfortunately I don’t have a lunchbox right now.”
“Ah, that’s right, right? Then you won’t have to look.”
Han Shi-yeon said that and she immediately ran towards me.
But rather than she lunged at me and pointed a sword at my throat.
“Yes.”
It was faster for me to move my fingertips and aim the thread of shadow in front of her neck.
“You don’t need to watch, so hurry up and use your artifacts to attack with all your might.”
Pat-!
The thread of shadow in front of Han Si-yeon’s neck disappeared again with one gesture of my hand.
“…… You will regret it.”
“It’s okay, so hurry up.”
I had to fight quickly while the energy of the buff ampoule still remained in my body.
Kkaduk-
Seeing me like that, Han Shi-yeon chewed her lips a little and used the sentence of Hoseon.
Whoop-
A pattern like the stripes of a tiger began to emerge on her face, which reminded her of a white jade.
I could only see her face and stomach because it was covered by her clothes, but if my memory is correct, the same pattern should have been engraved all over her body.
‘Then, shall I prepare to fight?’
Clap-
One of the two pillars supporting my body changes.
Instead of the original [In a transparent world (5★)], A new attribute obtained by killing Monica a while ago is included.
[The one who stands at the edge of darkness (9★)] Did not bother to activate it.
It’s a trait that changes my constitution from the very beginning, just like [Eat well and sleep well, I get strong (4★)], And it was a trait that showed its power without having to activate it.
Shuaaak-
I, who changed my inner self, stretched out my hand and covered the space on the rooftop with a shadow.
“What is this?”
“I just made a stage for fighting.”
I said that and lightly cleared my throat.
As Siyeon Han said, I didn’t bother playing around with Ample.
[Welcome to my castle]
▶ Rating – 5 stars
▶ Description – A guest has come to your castle. Shall I save it? Or kill? Everything is in your heart Because this is your castle.
▶Effect – Within the realm you created, you strongly reveal your presence and exert all your powers even more strongly.
Because I didn’t have to.
Percussion-
I stood on the stage of my castle, which I created by applying the barrier I took from Monica.
As I stepped on the stage like that, I could feel the effect of the ampoule that I had used in the fight with her earlier still lingering on my whole body.
“Then it seems that we have finished all the preparations we can do together.”
After confirming my change, I lightly gestured towards Siyeon Han, who was still outside the stage.
“Let’s fight as you wish.”
