chapter 45
I see your code (45)
“… … What?”
Cassia asked with a surprised expression.
A face unsure of what he had heard. So I said it again.
“I don’t need it.”
“… … Are you suspecting it’s fake?”
No way.
I can’t tell the real from the fake. Even now, the code is clearly floating above the bloodstone.
[IT-S-74]
Was it an S grade?
Even though it’s not an item that appears in the game, I was impressed with my sincerity in crafting the code.
“Knowing retrograde blood, you wouldn’t know bloodstone… … Don’t you know?”
“I know it’s real.”
“… … Then what is it? Do you know how great this stuff is?”
Cassia exclaimed excitedly.
“500 years ago, this single bloodstone guaranteed the survival of our entire race. That’s what it’s worth!”
“It’s a famous story.”
“… … You know that, but you refuse? What do you think?”
Cassia asked with a vigilant look.
wise. Do you have any age?
“Of course, it’s not free. Get me one thing.”
“… … thing? Would you give up bloodstone and get something?”
“yes.”
Of course, it’s not an ordinary thing.
Even if you know where it is and how to get it, you can’t even get it.
An item that exists as a legend, such as bloodstone.
A stone of lightning that contains thunder and lightning.
“Get me some brain stones.”
“… … .”
Cassia looked at me with a puzzled face.
“… … Does it really exist?”
“I’m not asking you to get something you don’t have.”
I explained to the dubious Cassia the approximate location of the brain stone and how to obtain it.
At first, it was a disbelieving face, but perhaps because the story was so detailed, from the middle, he only nodded with a half-confused face.
explanation is over.
Cassia, who was hesitating about something, nodded and bowed her head.
“what?”
“A gesture that I noticed your consideration.”
“It’s not caring. I just need a brain stone.”
“lie.”
Cassia grinned.
“If it is a cerebral stone, it will have a value similar to that of a bloodstone. But it’s not worth giving up and demanding the bloodstone that you can definitely get now. Even when you already know how to get it.”
“… … .”
“thank you. And once again, I sincerely apologize for the attack.”
Then I bent my back 90 degrees.
A greeting that vampires do not have, this is the way humans do. This is the maximum respect that can be shown from the perspective of a different race, but only the main character of Part 2 receives such a greeting in the game.
“… … What. They say illusion is freedom.”
Cassia grinned.
“There are also cute corners.”
“I’ll tell you how, so I can go back quickly. I must have looked all over while I was doing this.”
“I’m still going back. It’s a sneeze.”
Cassia pouted her lips and shoved the bloodstone near her heart.
It looks like it was taken out of it.
Good thing I didn’t get it.
What if there are bacteria?
It is unlikely that there will be any germs that will break through the immunity of superhumans, but who knows? Even if it wasn’t in the settings, it might be here.
With that in mind, he took out a piece of paper and handed it the treatment.
“If the disease has already spread throughout the body, it cannot be cured.”
“I didn’t even expect to get there. It’s rare that it’s that bad.”
Cassia carefully put the paper in her arms like a treasure, and looked at me.
“I’ll go get the brain stone as soon as the disease is resolved. And remember this. Our family will never forget the grace we received.”
Then, Cassia instantly seeped into the shadows. As I watched the code disappear without an answer, I was lost in thought.
Choosing cerebral stone instead of blood crystal.
It was a choice that the country at the time I came to this world would never have made. Regardless of what’s good or bad, it’s a situation that needs power right now.
But the one I chose is the cerebral stone.
why? Just because there is enough room to overflow?
“… … .”
In fact, he already knew the answer.
At heart, people are simply characters. What I saw as a code made up of 0 and 1, I started to see them as a single person more and more.
“… … What did that mean?”
The first goal is to return to Earth. Increasing your strength is just the process.
This is not Earth.
Not where I was born, not where I lived, not even where I would live.
I looked up at the sky with a feeling of frustration that suddenly rose.
the sun bigger than the earth.
A sky clearer than Earth. More clouds than Earth… … .
All of those things are saying, this is not your world. The code that floats on top of it says that this is not your world.
In the direct sunlight, I… … .
“… … What are you doing?”
“sunbath. I kept my sister Jinhyeol, but I will keep my promise.”
this sick bastard.
“What kind of sunbathing are you in the shade?”
“The sun is coming through the leaves. This is enough pain for me. Originally, training is gradually increasing.”
“… … .”
let’s not talk
I did not pay much attention to Katbal and looked at the entire training ground.
“… … I’ll pay the repair fee and go.”
He sighed as he thought of the remaining balance.
* * *
“Did the bombing magic swept away?”
“… … I’m sorry.”
“No, I have nothing to apologize for… … .”
He quietly bowed his head. ‘Cause there’s something wrong Isn’t it even the position of pulling out Reynol’s arm a while ago? If you’re brazen here, it’s not a human, it’s a cub.
If I had the money, I’d be proud of my shoulders, but now I don’t even have that.
The weight of the head of the household is inversely proportional to the weight of the pocket. You will experience economic hardship until you come to another world.
“It’s a training ground, it’s said to be broken. What’s wrong with that? Aren’t you hurt?”
“I’m fine. You know how strong that body is.”
“It’s not invincible either. Look where.”
Not some polarizing parent.
After confirming that he was fine, Reynol sighed in relief.
“It’s not ssamdak, where are you making such an accident… … .”
“But you’re always fine.”
“That’s the problem. You will know how to be careful once you get seriously injured.”
“You’re confused about whether it’s a curse or an encouragement.”
I laughed and continued talking.
“Someone I know has come to visit me.”
“Acquaintance?”
Reynold looked around again and said.
“You must have been a hot person. I saw that the training center was made like this.”
“More than that, he was bloody.”
“… … Are you a criminal?”
“It’s not like that.”
Reynold looked puzzled, but instead of explaining, I shifted the topic.
“Is your arm okay now?”
“It almost feels like a new sprout. He said he was an apprentice, but he had better skills than most priests. you go too They ask for some money, though.”
Apprentice asking for money?
“Isn’t that priest’s name Arina?”
“how did you know? Do you know each other?”
… … Apprenticeships wouldn’t be able to get into treatment, but without a bishop, they’re going wild. After all, he’s an official priest, so he didn’t lie anywhere.
“Just a little. Don’t go there again. Because it is denial.”
“why? He was good at it.”
“I’m a priest, but I don’t respect God.”
“… … But why are you a priest?”
“I don’t know.”
“How is it that everyone you know is so special?”
I don’t think that’s what you’re talking about.
Linol looks normal at first glance, but it’s actually a bit tasteless. Doesn’t it mean that it’s not normal to maintain that personality at Layton?
Among the abnormal, normal people are treated as abnormal, and lynol is just that.
“I am normal. It’s about balancing it.”
“… … okay.”
Rinol answered with a dissatisfied expression on his face.
“Anyway, training will be difficult for the time being. When will the training center be repaired?”
“yes?”
“yes?”
A moment of awkward silence.
“… … Can I fix it?”
“Of course. It’s your acquaintance who broke it, and you’re the one with the most money.”
… … That’s correct, but… … If only the latter is changed to ‘many’.
“Give me some money.”
Rinol looked at me with a bewildered expression.
“It’s good to be dignified, but it’s a bit overdone, and it even makes you look shameless. What about all your money?”
“It was of some use.”
“… … Thousands of gold?”
“yes.”
Actually, I am half regretting it.
It’s a brain stone to get later. Anyway, all I have now is a piece of blood that can’t even see the sunlight. It’s useless right now, maybe when I became a king, and it’s impossible to even return it.
It’s a character, it’s Nabal, and I thought I’d ignore it.
He sighed and opened his mouth.
“Somehow, I bought a heterogeneous race.”
“… … heterogeneous? Are you talking about slavery?”
“yes.”
Rinol frowned. That’s why I didn’t want to talk about it.
“Where… … after. not. What do you think?”
I just shrugged.
In this case, it is counterproductive to respond.
“So, what race are you?”
“Vampires.”
“What was bloody or what? … .”
When he nodded at those words, Reynold sighed and continued.
“It’s better to be a vampire. Are you at home?”
“yes. It’s underground.”
“okay.”
The awkward silence returned. But it was a different silence from before, mixed with discomfort.
I sighed inwardly.
I expected this to happen, but it’s different to check it yourself.
Reynold also turned the topic around because it was awkward.
“Have you met Tanya?”
Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve seen your face.
Being locked up in a room is similar to Darin, but unlike the one who shows off his face saying he is bored, he doesn’t come out well.
“No, why?”
“I saw him out for a while a few days ago, and his complexion didn’t make sense. Was it worse than when we came home?”
“… … Are you going?”
I have some guesses.
talisman making. I told you to do it in moderation before, but was that enough?
“I didn’t say anything.”
“I did. But he doesn’t answer properly unless it’s you.”
… … This is the first I’ve heard of it.
“Although he was a bit cheap, he’s gotten a lot better these days.”
“It will be only for you. Darin and I couldn’t even talk properly.”
“You also taught me swordsmanship and magic.”
“When you say something, you just nod your head.”
“I was stuck like that, and I must have answered something.”
“Yeah, no. That was the longest answer.”
“… … .”
yes no no Are you saying that one true positive and one negative is the end?
He looked at me with an absurd expression, and he looked at me like he was absurd trying to become a Raynor.
“Honestly, it’s more surprising that you didn’t know. It’s been a while since we’ve been together, so why are you so indifferent?”
“… … .”
I had nothing to say.
I’ve been busy all this time, but it’s not like I don’t have that much free time.
I sighed and opened my mouth.
“Is Tanya in the room?”
“You haven’t seen it come out, have you?”
“I’ll come and see you in a moment.”
“Yeah. Please take care of your health.”
I greeted Reynol roughly and went up to the second floor.
Where is Darin and Tanya’s room.
When was the last time you uploaded? I don’t remember.
“… … .”
30 seconds on foot.
I realize once again how careless I was. He sighed and knocked on Tanya’s door.
“… … Who is it?”
An answer I heard once.
The only difference is that almost all of them are dying voices. I opened my mouth carefully.
“Can you open the door for me?”
“… … Rihanna?”
profit.
The door opened with an answer.
Through the crack in the door, Tanya’s thin figure caught her eye. Reynold was right, saying it would have been better before coming home. The physique itself has improved, but the face looks like someone who is going to die soon.
“Can I go inside?”
“… … Oh, in?”
“Please.”
“… … Okay.”
The door opens wide. Looking inside, I can understand why he hesitated. A floor full of talismans.
Is this a living room?
It’s more like a factory than that, an amulet factory.
Without thinking, I sat down in my chair. Tanya, the owner of the room, sits face to face with me.
After a while, Tanya opened her mouth as she calmed down a bit.
“Tanya.”
“Yes?”
“Have you ever heard the saying that time is gold?”
“I heard… … .”
“You are bankrupt. You die in a week.”
I’m not really going to die though.
It was a joke thrown lightly to evoke the atmosphere, but Tanya’s expression became serious as if she really believed it.
No, why do you believe this?
“… … one week?”
“It sounds so bad. It’s not really about dying. Don’t listen straight away.”
“… … .”
I’m the one making the bad joke, but it’s Tanya who’s fidgety. I wasn’t that kind of kid… … .
He opened his mouth, holding back a sigh that was about to burst out.
“How many talismans are you using per day?”
“… … Six.”
I answer in a small way, on purpose. I asked again, frowned a little.
“certain?”
“… … 16.”
“… … after.”
The sigh I had been holding back came out without me knowing.
Tanya flinched at the sound, but didn’t even look at her.
“I told you not to overdo it… … .”
“… … sorry.”
quick apology.
At those words, the nagging that came out of my throat fell into place. Uh huh, yes. where is he wrong
“Wait for a moment.”
Without answering, I headed to the next room.
It’s because he remembered that there was a medicine among the items that Teyer Terberoz had sent as a gift before.
I opened the door without knocking, and ignoring Darin’s cries of where to give and take away, I packed my belongings and returned to the room.
Looking at Tanya’s eyes with round eyes, she laid out the medicine.
“Come and pick it up. Eat one a day.”
John X has charisma.
“Oh, thank you.”
“And for the time being, making amulets is also prohibited.”
“… … Can’t you make a little bit?”
“no. you’re really going to die
“… … okay.”
can not understand.
You’re so gentle, why didn’t you answer? You were right that the complexion was bad, but the latter must be a mistake for linol.
In the first place, didn’t you get hooked by looking at the wrong person in the game?
I asked without thinking about it as if it had suddenly come to mind.
“Do you remember the man named Byron?”
“You’re the one who attacked me last time.”
I spoke calmly.
“That bastard also has blue blood.”
“… … What?”
Tanya’s eyes widened in surprise.
