I Became the Companion of the Gods

13 – EP.4 Fuse -3

-Boom!!

The battle started with an explosion.

The sound of an explosion could be heard from afar. It must have exploded when someone stepped on a mine that had been placed in advance.

“Looks like you’re finally here.”

“I see. Oh, would you like some more citron honey?”

“Thank you for doing so.”

“Yes!”

The top floor of an abandoned building.

Even though the battle has begun, I am leisurely enjoying tea time with Miho there.

“How many terrorists have entered?”

“I think there are about 300 people.”

“300 People? 600 If you include pets… Quite a lot.”

“Do you think it will be difficult?”

“It’s okay, it’s assuming. Anyway, how many people do you think will make it this far?”

“I think at least 100 people will be lucky enough to survive.”

“One-third of the total, ambiguous.”

It’s fortunate, though, that enough people will be able to enter this space.

“…… Over there, West.”

“Huh?”

“Shouldn’t we use another strategy now?”

“Why?”

“It’s too risky for Seo Bang-nim, so even now, he’s hallucinating…….”

“You know no. And I need this method to get rid of all of them.”

Those who constantly try to intrude into my peaceful daily life, I plan to take this opportunity to firmly root them out.

“That doesn’t mean you have to take risks, don’t you?”

“It’s okay. It’s not dangerous at all, my pets are there in case of emergency.”

“It’s petty to say that… ….”

“I’m sorry. But the operation has already started, you know you can’t change it now, right?”

“That’s true, but… ….”

“Since it is irreversible, there is no choice but to do it. Therefore…… Please, Miho.”

“Could you please promise me that you will come back safely?”

Miho looked so sad with a worried expression on his face.

“Yes, I promise.”

So that she could feel at ease, she swore a promise with her little finger.

“…… All right, then I’ll be waiting while watching your performance!”

“Thank you.”

I was left alone in the room after seeing Miho go outside.

I felt lonely.

“In the old days, this was a matter of course… ….”

Ironically, things have changed now. It made me long for justice.

“The fact that you have a precious pet can change your life this much… ….”

Lonely in a room with nothing, I wait for the wick to burn out.

***

A day ago.

I was devising a way to keep everyone safe and Miho’s powers undetected, but…….

It wasn’t easy.

If Miho’s influence is weakened, the risk burden for other agents increases,

When Miho was greatly influenced, there was a problem that people doubted Miho’s existence.

I never thought it would be so difficult to find an appropriate middle ground… I just found out.

Anyway, as a result of wrapping my head around a thorny conundrum and even tearing it out, I was able to come up with only one good way.

A way to make Miho’s existence unquestioned while keeping the other agents safe was as simple as putting myself in a bit more danger.

I am also included in the same escort target as Tia, but there is no law in the world that the escort target should not help, and I was an agent like them.

So, if there was a possibility that everyone could be satisfied with, it was only natural that I would try it, even if it took a little risk.

“Over there! I have one good idea…… Can you listen to me?”

In order for the operation to succeed, several conditions had to be met.

If I had to choose one of the most important and demanding conditions, it would be the trust of the agents.

No matter how good a method I suggest, it is useless if they refuse to follow.

In that sense, this condition belonged to the very strict side.

It was almost the first time I met them, and they had much more mission experience than I did.

Who would listen to the operation of a kid who just became an agent……

“Tell me, listen and judge.”

“If it’s okay, hire me.”

“So please explain in detail, junior.”

Fortunately, my seniors were generous.

I realized once again why Director Edwinner had invited me to trust them.

Anyway, since the opportunity has arrived, you can’t help but seize it.

I explained to them all the plans I had in mind.

I was a little nervous because it was my first time explaining the operation, but I was relieved to see them looking remarkably surprised, as if it made me think it was an unexpectedly good operation.

“Unexpectedly, it was a really good strategy!”

“Ah, it was a strategy that I didn’t think it was the first time I made it.”

“We even considered all the variables that could happen.

“Then… !”

“But rejected.”

“I also reject it.”

“It’s the same!”

“Uh, why?”

It seemed to be going well, but as it was natural, they denied my plan.

“That’s right, of course you are in danger.”

“Mission objectives include your safety. That is why this operation cannot be used.”

“Couldn’t we be in favor of an operation that puts only the juniors in danger above all else?”

The reason for the refusal was as expected.

Because I learned that these people have considerable personalities, of course I knew I would reject them if I was in danger.

“Is it okay if I tell you that it is the dummy that is at risk and not me?”

“Then the question of your safety will be gone, but will the terrorists get caught in the pile?”

“If you don’t think it will catch, you have to make it so that it catches.”

“How?”

I was going to throw myself into danger, not the dummy, as I said before, so I was going to be caught.

However, I couldn’t tell the truth, so I convinced my seniors by telling me a plausible excuse and a well-constructed plan.

I’m sorry for deceiving them, but I had to employ this strategy somehow.

“I don’t think that would be bad. The biggest problem has been solved.”

It was good to say that the biggest hurdle was passed.

“Me! Me! I have a question for you!”

“What is it, senior Dahye?”

“Why did you designate the operation site here?”

The area I designated as the operation area was an abandoned building I found upon returning from a previous mission.

It was a building that had been abandoned for a long time after construction was stopped due to some kind of accident while trying to build a high-rise building.

“Because there shouldn’t be any civilians nearby, you never know what terrorists might ask for by taking civilians hostage?”

According to Miho, I heard that there are no civilians living near the abandoned building.

“But if you are in a place like this, of course you would think it was a trap, but the terrorists don’t come, right?”

“Maybe he will come. Since their purpose is dragons, they will try to come in at least taking some damage into account?”

Those who couldn’t accept that level of risk wouldn’t have used such a strategy.

I knew how toxic they were, so I was using this strategy.

“Do you have any more questions or things you don’t understand?”

“I have a question regarding the final part of the operation. How do you plan to match the timing when the enemy attacks?”

“I’m thinking about an hour at the most.

There was absolutely no problem with the timing, as I was going to hit it myself in the last place.

“Any more questions?”

“Is it okay if the three of us coordinate the way we make time?”

“Yes, you can discuss that part with the seniors and decide. Instead, after earning enough time, you should leave safely. Please keep this one.”

“Yes! Okay~”

“Do you have any other questions?”

After the last question, the three agents kept their mouths shut.

It meant that I understood without further questioning or further discussion.

“Good! Then, I’ll ask you to take care of the plan tomorrow, seniors!”

I was confident as it was a strategy I devised, but I was uneasy.

It wasn’t because the team was improvised in one day.

They are already skilled agents and my pets are powerful gods, nothing to worry about

On the other hand, I was the only person who wasn’t special, and I felt anxious and crazy that I was given an important role.

But this was something I had to do, something no one else could do, something I had to do…….

“I can do it…! I can do it too…!”

Under the pressure of choking my breath, I constantly reviewed and reviewed my strategy.

I now understand a little why the leaders of group assignments in colleges are going crazy.

***

The operation was roughly like this.

As soon as the enemy arrives, I set the bomb timer to 1 hour and withdraw in advance.

At the time of the bombing, the agents block the terrorists from entering.

As it is an abandoned building with many narrow spaces, use traps and focused fire to block the enemy’s penetration as much as possible.

If you reach the 15th floor after repeatedly blocking and retreating, the agents escape through the hidden emergency stairs and blow up the emergency stairs to block the pursuit and retreat.

Finally, the C-4 bombs installed on Tia and I’s dummy on the 18th floor, the top floor, explode and wipe out the terrorists all at once.

This was the overall plot of the operation.

However, unlike the strategy I agreed with my seniors, I will not withdraw.

In order to properly lure the enemies, I needed a real bait, not a dummy on the top floor.

In addition, if the bomb explodes too soon or too late, there is a chance that the terrorists will survive, so I need to remain until the end to completely block these variables.

“I broke through the 9th floor! How are the traps going?”

“Almost done! I’ll join you after I’m finished and provide you with cover!”

The constant sound of radio calls and gunshots.

I could see how fierce the battle was on the floor below.

“Dahye, the enemy is turning and coming to the left!”

“Okay! After reloading, it will rush in and come out, so make sure to set up your shield when escaping!”

“Don’t worry.”

Their cooperation was always in the best condition, whether it was training or fighting.

“Miria, how many minutes has passed?”

“It’s been 40 minutes since the battle started!”

“Twenty minutes left…… It’s tight.”

Now they are blocking it smoothly, but the difference in numbers is so great that it seems difficult to hold out for a long time.

The quickening of their breathing over the radio was the proof.

A situation where they could become exhausted and dangerous if they stayed still.

To lighten their burden, I also put my mouth on the walkie-talkie.

“You don’t have to hold out for 20 minutes, please hold out for 10 minutes and withdraw!”

“But then… !!”

“It’s okay! A lot of traps and obstacles have been set up on the 16th and 17th floors, so you should be able to buy enough time.”

Specially improved floors using Miho’s ability, optimized for buying time, so they will be able to hold back the terrorists to some extent.

“Okay!”

Time passed again and finally the three agents were put in a situation where they had to retreat to the 15th floor, which was the last line of defense.

“Did you last for about 50 minutes?”

“I think it’s a little lacking, just hold on for one more second.”

“No! If it’s too late, it’s dangerous. Did our juniors say that? Get out safely!”

“Senior Miria is right! It’s okay if you don’t have to earn more time, so please retreat now!”

To tell you the truth, the time bomb’s timer is 12 minutes.

I wish they would hold out a little longer, but I couldn’t make such an unreasonable request.

If they are not all right, the meaning of this operation will be lost.

“Then I’ll retreat soon!”

“This side will also retreat.”

“I’ve never been identified on the emergency stairs, because I have to plant a bomb. Hurry back, both of you!”

The sound of gunshots gradually faded and at some point stopped completely.

This means that the seniors have successfully retreated.

“Now we have to block the rest of the traps enough… ….”

The time shown on the timer is 10 minutes.

As if the enemies had entered the 16th floor, the sound of trap explosions could be heard.

Nine minutes.

It seems to carefully dismantle the traps that have been laid one by one.

8 Minutes.

The sound of something breaking, as if breaking an installed obstacle.

Seven minutes.

The sound of footsteps approaching, it seems that we have reached the 17th floor.

6 Minutes.

The sound of dogs barking, it seems that companion animals are used to determine the presence or absence of traps.

5 Minutes.

The last line of defense, the barricade, is heard breaking.

“Five minutes… ….”

A time that is neither short nor long.

If it was my dummy that was here, it would mean that the operation had failed.

But here I am, not a dummy, but a real one.

The success of the operation now depends on me.

Now, what should I do now…….

– Bang!

Finally, the last barricade collapses, and humans aiming guns at me and animals eager to bite me come up on my floor.

“They’re all really annoying. Do you think government support will come because of this?”

A human who seems to be the leader among countless terrorists.

He was the only one wearing a bloodstained mask, so it must be true.

“That’s what I want to say. Can’t we just live a good life without bothering each other?”

“Because that’s not a problem that ordinary people who don’t know anything should worry about. Just bring a dragon, it’s annoying.”

“Sorry, the dragon you guys are looking for is not here.”

“Really? What a pity!”

-Taang!

With the sound of a gunshot, a shock hit my shoulder and I was thrown back.

“Keugh… !!”

The shoulder part of the jacket is starting to be stained red with blood.

“Everybody knows that baby dragons follow you! If I hurt you here or hold you hostage, won’t the dragon come back on its own?”

“Well… ? Won’t government agents come before that?”

“I guess you still haven’t figured out the situation? The agents who guarded you abandoned you and have already fled. But will other government agents come to rescue you?”

“You don’t know that.”

“You are really stupid. They and we have one purpose, dragons. They don’t even care about useless ordinary people like you.”

It is true. If I were to ask people to choose between Tia and me, of course it would be the former.

The act of comparing Tia’s value with mine is actually ridiculous.

“Thank you for being valuable to us. If you weren’t the only human being loved by dragons, the bullet would have landed on your head instead of your shoulder.”

A gunshot wound to the right shoulder that crumpled his face.

I wanted to heal quickly, but I still have about 3 minutes left.

“Anyway, all you can do is summon a dragon. If you calmly pass the dragon over here, well, I’ll think about saving your life as much as possible.”

Why do these terrorist bastards tell obvious lies?

The mazo pervert said the same thing a while ago, but this guy is exactly the same.

Without Tia, I have no value.

Then, from their point of view, killing them right away is the natural course.

There’s no way I didn’t know that, so why do you keep saying things you don’t have in your heart?

I don’t even know.

“My answer is, will this be enough?”

As I raised my middle finger at them, I pulled out my pistol and pointed it at the muzzle.

“That was the worst answer, even if it was worth it, it wouldn’t kill you, right?”

“Then should I shoot first before I get shot and run away?”

Without hesitation, he turns the gun he was aiming at the terrorists toward the ceiling and pulls the trigger.

Then I quickly threw away the gun and fell down, covering my eyes and ears.

The howling sounds of excited animals that begin after one shot and gunshots resound as response shots.

A variety of noises filled the quiet space in an instant, but one sound that erased all these sounds penetrated my closed ears.

An explosion as an object falls to the ground and explodes.

It was a stun grenade that had been set in advance so that it would fall from the ceiling when fired with the safety pin removed.

“Everybody close your eyes!”

The terrorist leader’s voice was heard for the last time, but it was too late.

Even the man’s voice was drowned out by the blast of the flash grenade.

Explosive noise and flashes of light covered the room.

The light paralyzes their vision, and the sound makes them delirious.

In the end, the terrorists who were hit by the stun grenade started throwing a frenzied party called mistaken shooting.

“Stop! You bastards, stop shooting!!”

The effect of one flash grenade prepared as a last resort was enormous.

It caused more confusion by shooting the same ally, making me scream, and making me, who was the only enemy, unable to focus fire, so the situation I wanted was created.

“One minute…… !”

The timer of the C-4 bomb hidden in the abdomen has now erased the minute unit and entered the second count.

The time has come.

Without hesitation, I drop the C-4 bomb on the floor and run to the window and throw myself.

“Ahhhhh!”

In the process, several blind bullets penetrated his abdomen, but he bit his lower lip and thought only of jumping.

In that way, the body thrown into the air and my body were quickly pulled down by gravity.

The fact that I was falling so fast was so scary that it made my head white, but I concentrated all my energy on my neck, remembering that the operation was not over yet.

“Stop!!”

Looking down and shouting loudly.

To whom?

Isn’t there only one person in this world who listens to me the best?

“Yes!!”

A clear voice coming from below.

At the same time as I answered, the place where I jumped out was blocked by an iron wall and no one was allowed to escape.

A bomb placed in such a closed space,

-Quaang!!

With an explosion that could be said to be the best of today, there was an explosion that blew the entire top floor away.

‘Okay… !!’

Success!

Despite the fear of dying, he performed his role reliably!

Have I ever accomplished something great with so much effort?

I think this is probably the first time.

“I feel like I’m about to cry from joy…… !”

For a while, I realized that I was falling again, and I brought out the fear that I had put aside for a while.

“aaa!!”

The ground is right in front of your nose.

The blood in my whole body went cold as I imagined my body being crushed like this.

Alas, this is dying…….

“Really…… “

Die…….

“…… Isn’t that reckless?”

Ah…… ?

“Who is our nanggun?”

When I opened my closed eyes at the familiar word, I realized that my body was still in the air, and my blood, which had been frozen cold, was wrapped in soft black wings and began to warm up again.

“This is…… Wasn’t it completely unexpected?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of things that Nanggun doesn’t expect.”

A cheerful yet noble laugh.

It was the sound of the woman in front of me with skin as tanned as chocolate.

“Anyway, you worked hard, my dear! Now that it’s all over, you can take it easy.”

“It’s okay to rest… ?”

“Yes! I will lend you my arms, so make sure to rest in my arms.”

“Then… ….”

I feel relieved that it is over, so my whole body loses strength.

So I tried to take a break in her black wings and arms, but…….

“Oh! Breastmilk isn’t coming out yet, so can’t you suck on your breasts? Still, it doesn’t matter if you wash a little if you want… ♡”

The atmosphere to relax has been ruined.

“Bird head! Put the West down quickly!”

Miho was preparing to embrace me from below.

Looks like he’s mad at Yata for stealing his player.

“Kwyi! Kwyi!”

Tia was also getting angry because she didn’t do so, probably because she was trying to use her ability to take me down.

It’s cute.

“If you twist it, you will have wings too~! Let Tia do it when she is a bit older!”

Yata laughs at the two as if mocking them.

Her smile looked disgusting even to me, a third party.

“ Birdhead b*tch, I’ll pluck all her feathers so she can never fly again…… ! ”

“Quit! Kwyit!!”

Really, my pets…… Consistently makes me laugh

It’s a shame that my laughter is just a laugh.

‘Take responsibility because all the impressions were broken because of you guys.’

These.
