chapter 287
Right after entering the hotel.
Change came again between us who had been hesitating for a while.
Arrieta went to take a shower.
Because the place is a place, there was a part that I couldn’t help it.
It is said that there was a shower booth where the silhouette could be seen.
Furthermore, since I have [contemplation], it is not a problem to see through the glass to that extent.
An indescribable sense of immorality.
The current situation is that I am sitting on the bed with my eyes closed, trusting the last conscience of my heart.
Shaaa
But when I close my eyes, I hear the sound of running water.
“… … .”
The sound of water droplets hitting the skin.
And in the middle, the intensity or flow of the sound changes.
As a result, Arrieta’s movements drawn in my head naturally heat up in my head.
Was I really this imaginative? Maybe it was the aftermath of his talent as a mage.
Sha-
After a while, the sound of water stops.
Then, along with another sound, I heard her hesitating.
“A nearby gun-shaped machine is a hair dryer. Depending on the button, the wind speed and temperature change, so you can use it comfortably.”
“Oh, is that so? As expected of Mr. Oz, please be knowledgeable.”
“No, um… … .”
Hearing that innocent voice makes me feel uncomfortable.
Could it be that it wasn’t my mistake?
I started to think that maybe she really was simply trying to get me to rest.
When negative thoughts begin to arise, suspicion grows out of control.
Humans are weak.
Sooner or later this world will be ruled by machines.
and i’m trash
Such random thoughts run through my head.
In spite of the fact that she had kept the line until recently, citing various reasons, she overturned her decision as soon as she realized that it was a rare opportunity for Arrieta.
Of course, there are some things that have disappeared in the past.
The thought that I might disappear.
Now that I have received the answer, there is no reason for me to hold back any longer.
Of course, there are still a lot of situational problems left… … . There is no doubt that it made me feel more at ease.
“Mr. Oz.”
While I was thinking about those miscellaneous thoughts, Arrieta appeared with her hair dried.
The hair that is still wet and clinging to it is sensational.
As if the bathrobe, which was secured with only one string, was uneasy, she was constantly adjusting her clothes.
His face was red like a ripe fruit, and his breath was rough.
“Can I go to the side?”
“… … .”
I know.
How much courage must it have taken for her to say that?
It was a series of boldness that the usual Arrieta would not do.
And the reason I was able to do that was because I was able to become an ordinary woman, freed from divine responsibilities, even for a moment.
“Nope.”
“Yeah… … ?”
So should I just watch it?
Are you just going to take her courage?
That’s not going to happen.
“I will go there.”
“Huh?!”
Arrieta steps closer.
Then, he hugged her by the waist and pulled her.
Surprised by my sudden action, Arrieta lowered her head for a moment, then raised her head again and faced me.
While holding her by the waist, I intersect the pod with my free hand.
“ah… … .”
Arrieta let out a short exclamation and trembled as if embarrassed.
But even that is fleeting.
She slowly relaxed and leaned on me.
The night passed like that.
* * *
when you wake up in the morning
Arrieta, who should have been sleeping in the seat next to her, was nowhere to be seen.
I can even feel the afterglow of last night.
Get up and find Arrieta.
And Arietta was in a place not too far away.
[SSR Saint of Hope]
Arietta Domine
Fortunately, it seemed that the saintess had not been deprived of her qualifications due to what happened last night.
It must be because this is a world where the original rules do not apply.
Arrieta was wearing her usual habit and sitting in front of a model plant, praying in a reverent posture.
I can understand why it is doing that.
The veil, which was usually worn lightly, came down enough to cover the entire face this time.
The tension that had been released in many ways has returned only now.
It is the beginning of the saintess time.
“Oz-sama, I am a sinner.”
“Why?”
“I-I foolishly put my own desire first… … .”
Arrieta pulls the veil covering her face and tries to cover her face even more.
However, the inside of the veil is transparent.
I could clearly see her face flushed red, with an expression of joy or guilt.
“If Arietta is a criminal, then what am I going to be who made Arrieta a criminal?”
“… … Oz-sama is a beast.”
Arrieta grumbles.
Although I think that the fact that we were beasts last night is the same for each other.
but it doesn’t say that
Isn’t she the one who is still ashamed and doesn’t know what to do?
This time, he might really run away from my eyes.
“Did you like it?”
“… … .”
no answer comes back
Instead, she made a big circle around me and hugged me from behind.
Well, that’s it.
It’s like hearing the answer.
“Then shall we go back soon?”
To the guy I was expecting the look of despair on.
* * *
“… … late.”
Janus was tired of waiting for Oz and complained.
“What the hell are you doing?”
Anyway, it’s too late.
A whole day had already passed while I waited while playing the game.
The atmosphere like a secret conversation shared in the dark has long since disappeared. The day is not bright now, so the sun has risen in the middle of the sky.
‘Have you ever lost your way?’
Modern society is complex.
Doesn’t the subway map look like a tangled skein of thread?
yeah, i got lost
Other than that, I can’t explain why they don’t come back despite opening the door periodically.
“What do you think?”
“Don’t pretend to be friendly. On the subject of 75 consecutive losses.”
“Orator, I really don’t like this guy at all.”
I couldn’t attack because there was something I said I would quietly let go, and Janus couldn’t even keep his mouth shut even in this frustrating and unfair situation.
“… … When I return, I will teach you how to play chess properly.”
“No, it’s okay. Chess is no fun. All other games are a mess. Aren’t games supposed to be fun?”
But why should I be stressed? It was the moment when Janus noticed the disparate phenomena of society.
“If the opponent is this bad, the winner won’t be able to enjoy it either.”
“… … .”
A staggering 75 consecutive losses.
Janus was often shot down by Olivia’s unstoppable offensive without being able to properly counterattack.
The only thing he was able to win was one game even after changing sports.
Olivia understood all the rules and defeated Janus in one match, as if she had a unique sense for the game.
This is the dignity of former royalty.
Janus, who tried to imitate it by scratching the surface, had no choice but to grind his teeth.
“Well, okay. I’m fed up now If you give me this much time, it should be enough.”
“You’re not going to go back like this, are you?”
Olivia threatened Janus with her hand on the handle of her sword.
Something like Oz is fine. However, it is unbearable to leave Arrieta in an unknown place.
‘Even with that bastard… … .’
How would you know what that beastly bastard would do?
Olivia was making an objective judgment about Oz.
“Whoa… … .”
Of course, Olivia would not be able to compete with Janus.
However, there is no way that Oz really came without any countermeasures.
If there is a commotion, it is certain that an ambush will come.
“I said it before, but I keep my promise. So just go find it yourself and listen to the story.”
I wouldn’t know if I said I wouldn’t come back from there in despair… … .
If not, Janus intended to bring Oz.
Of course it’s better not to come back. If you’re willing to do that, throw it away.
Although the Oz of today is fake, the fact that its power bothers me is real.
Besides, isn’t it a poor toy pushed to the ground in an unreasonable fight?
“then… … .”
It was just as Janus was about to activate the power of the key again.
Wow——!
A crack appeared in the air, as if space were being shattered.
“… … What?”
Looking at that moment, the atmosphere of Janus changes completely.
Perplexity. And the process of the embarrassment turning into anger was an instant.
He judged the situation in an instant. could judge
Because that assumption has been drawn over and over again in my head.

Kwajangchang!
Eventually, the space breaks apart and two people walk out of it.
For some reason, Oz is more relaxed than usual, and Arietta is covering her face with her usual veil.
Janus glared at Oz with a stern expression at the scene.
“What, are you still waiting? What if I’m sorry about this?”
“yes… … . I see.”
understood.
Why did I feel a void in the key I completed by killing Salem?
I couldn’t figure out why.
Of course, there were some assumptions, but I thought it would be impossible.
But what about it? The presence in front of her had already proved many things.
“Oz Quo Vadis… … !!”
Oz has already won once.
And he made a full meaning regression that he himself could not interfere with.
In the process, he tore the [Speaker’s Key], which he should have retrieved, into pieces.
It fragmented Janus’ soul.
He hid the fragmented key and revealed it at this moment.
I could understand its meaning.
“You dare… … .”
Janus lost.
Oz was able to win only one victory out of dozens or hundreds of regressions. that must be the truth
I have no intention of dwelling on defeat.
Oz’s victory would mean that they sacrificed so much.
However, there were facts that could not be tolerated.
“… … You think you look down on me even while making something like that? dare you?”
Oz beat himself.
Yeah, I’ll admit that. This can be happen. With that level of tenacity, it wouldn’t have been completely impossible.
Even if it’s a 0.01% chance, if you experiment dozens or hundreds of times, you can succeed at least once.
Janus knew that too, so he moved to break Oz’s mentality.
I was so tempted to give up.
But Oz overcame all of that and eventually overcame Janus.
yeah, that’s awesome
I have no choice but to admit it.
But that’s no reason to look down on Janus.
See the opponent in front of you.
Jericho, weak, and stupid.
Unable to come up with a complete and perfect plan, he rolls on the floor and gambles.
However, he is judging that such a being can defeat him.
I have no choice but to say no.
“You are a terrible asshole to the end.”
Who are you talking about?
Janus was so engulfed in anger that he couldn’t even tell them apart.
he stretches out his hand
Uncontrollable rage eats up his body, and uncontrollable murder overflows around him.
And at that moment… … .
bang!
There was an existence that intruded while responding to that intense life.
A horn that bleeds heat.
Wings made of skin.
The finely braided hair wags like a tail.
“Is it okay to think of this as the what-if you mentioned?”
[KP solvent]
Tiamat
The world’s most powerful being broke into their cabin, tearing it apart like paper.
“Tsk… … .”
Janus clicked his tongue.
It was a predictable situation.
It was also a matter of concern.
Yes, given that Oz was able to revive Tia, it was easy to infer that he would be able to enlist her help.
Although it is called [Solvent], it is not without shame.
Unfortunately, it seemed that I had no choice but to resign from this position.
Janus immediately withdrew his outstretched hand towards Oz and began to draw out the power of the key.
Get out of this place once. open space for that.
“Do I look funny enough to play twice for the same means?”
Tia stretched out her hand with a grim expression at that obvious trick.
I’ve already missed the guy in front of me in the same way once.
so no two
An absolute barrier dividing space itself? It’s not even funny.
She is a [solvent].
There were so many ways to neutralize it that Tia overflowed.
“of course… … I’m not stupid enough to test the same method over and over again. solvent.”
It was when Tia, who had broken the entire space that had been cut off, stretched out her hand toward Janus.
“Your fiery personality is still the same.”
“… … !”
There was an existence that blocked Tia’s attack from beyond the wall of space that Janus had broken down.
In the beginning, a woman’s hand, wearing a black evening glove, passed smoothly through a space where only one hand could pass through.
Soon, who had crossed the space beyond her elbow, expanded in an instant and blocked Tia’s attack.
Even compared to Tia’s fist, which had transformed into a dragon, its size was absurd, filling the field of vision.
Seeing this, Oz remembered what Jinseon had said before.
-Nyx has huge hands, a tail, and scales that shine like jewels.
A huge black dragon’s arm imbued with violent energy.
Harder than metal, shiny black scales like jewels.
It was only a hand crossed state, but it was not a problem to infer who the opponent was with that alone.
“… … Did you hold hands with those bastards? Madame.”
“What does that have to do with whoever I hold hands with?”
An existence that can stand against Tia, who has been weakened by the fight with [Unknown].
“Open up——”
And at the same time, the owner of the last key that exists in this world.
“──The center of paradise.”
Even now, the monster that created the [Demon King] and expanded the place called <Demon World>.
