NOVEL NEXT chapter 33
33. imaginary identity
“Adela~ I caught an ogre~”
Delong Delong.
The few hairs of the ogre I held in my hand swayed, and the head connected to it swayed from side to side.
“Does it make you feel better only if you show off like that…”
“Isn’t there anything else you need to say?”
“······I’m glad you’re safe.”
yes. That’s that.
As an employee, you must do your part.
“If I show you this, you can feel the difference in power, right?”
I heard that idiots who can’t make it to Class C are frustrated because they can’t catch him?
It’s a request set for two people, but honestly, I think I would have taken it even if I was alone.
And if it wasn’t before catching the ogre, I wouldn’t know, but Luna now should be able to solo an ogre.
This is clear, as expected from the power I was hit with earlier.
Not all adventurers in the guild are below D-class, but considering that the number of adventurers decreases as the rank goes up, most of them must be below C-class.
Among them, there must be children below D-class.
So, if you carry around the ogre’s head like this, you can feel the difference in power.
“Now, here’s the head. Are we D-Class now?”
“…Yes. Here is the D-class adventurer certificate.”
Adela took two copper tokens from a drawer under the reception desk and placed them on top.
A pattern in which two swords cross each other to symbolize the adventurer’s guild.
A round token the size of 500 won with that pattern engraved on it.
The date of issue and our name were engraved on the back.
“Huh. Nakanaka’s work is quick.”
It looks like it was made to order because it has our names and issue date in it.
There must be a lot of work, but can this be done in one day?
“I knew that Mr. Luke would succeed, so I made it in advance.”
“You always believed in the truth even though you always acted like a tsun-tsun.”
“Because personality and skill are individual.”
what is that word Just hearing that makes me sound like I have a bad personality.
Not recognizing a good man like me, Adela will have a hard time getting a boyfriend later.
People say that people should be kinder than their appearance, but it’s because they don’t know how to look at people like this.
“Rather than that, even Luke-san seems to have suffered quite a bit with this request.”
“?”
What kind of trouble is suffering?
is not it? If you are suffering, is it suffering? It’s because I’m on my way to take care of the main character’s baby.
But there’s no way Adela knows that.
Leaving me lost in thought for a while, Adela continued.
“The person who went to the request and didn’t even bring a speck of dirt on it, the top was torn and there were even traces of it burned.”
“Oh~”
That’s what you mean. What did you say?
Certainly, if I looked at myself now in the mirror, it would be a mess. The top must have been torn in a straight line as if it had been cut by a sword, and there were traces of burns all over the body.
Surprisingly, however, both traces did not originate from hunting. One is a team kill and one is a trace of self-harm.
I looked up and Luna lowered her head as if she had no face.
“The torn clothes were beaten by Luna, and the scorched ones were set on fire by me?”
“In the end, you were beaten by Luna-san…”
Why are you talking like you knew it would one day be like this?
“Isn’t it surprising that I set myself on fire?”
“Compared to the actions I’ve shown so far, that’s on the weak side.”
Wow.
Don’t you know that neglect is the worst sin?
When I first saw Adela, she was a sincere and hardworking person, but when did she change like this? It’s so sad for someone who’s been watching it.
“I’m glad you didn’t come naked.”
“That was a bit unfortunate.”
If I had come naked, I would have been able to show the men here my Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon and let them feel the true difference in power.
Whether the attribute resistance skill applied to the clothes I was wearing, my appearance after the fire went out was not much different from the one before it caught fire.
As Adela said earlier, the degree of singe is everything.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t show my second supersword to people, but if I set my body on fire every time my clothes burn, the cost of the clothes will go up, and it’s annoying to change clothes every time, so it’s rather good.
“…I’m not very sorry.”
“Is it really so?”
Adela, if you saw my supersword, just by looking at it, you would squirt fuck like a woman enchanted by an incubus.
I haven’t seen it, so I can react like that.
I’ve seen Luke’s things while washing a few times after being possessed, but this is really a big deal.
As befits a character who sets armed force as an extreme idiot, God gave Luke the most important thing for a man.
If you think that there is a word for rice cake in a previous life, there is probably no woman who couldn’t seduce one of Luke’s special swords.
‘Should I take it out and show it now?’
When I put my hand on her waist, Adela’s eyes became ferocious, and then death came.
It seems that killing the receptionist these days is a basic skill.
I can’t either. envy.
Suddenly, Adela, who had fixed her eyes, took out the reward money and put it on the reception desk.
“Haa… here’s the payoff.”
“Uhyo–! Get the reward–!”
I had been catching warwolves and goblins until now, but suddenly went up to ogre, so the reward coming in was more than I thought.
If only fairy tales were jangled all the time, today a silver coin came to a green pig.
“Adela, how long until our next promotion?”
“Umm… I think you can do it right away if you make two requests in the future, or one big request like the ogre this time.”
That’s right. At this speed, you’ll get to the S rank in no time, right?
An S-class adventurer with a one-man army capable of destroying a country single-handedly. Looking at the current growth rate and promotion rate, it didn’t seem like it would take longer than I thought.
“Then we’ll be on our way.”
“Yes. Please enter carefully.”
I’ve got everything I’ve got
Now, after saying hello to Adela to go out to dinner, I turned my back and walked towards the entrance from which I came.
On the way, Luna, who followed me from behind, asked me a question.
“Luke-sama. What kind of request are you planning to make tomorrow?”
“Mole? Lou.”
Leave tomorrow to tomorrow’s me!
The moment I thought so and left the adventurer’s guild.
“found.”
***
A man who wakes up in the academy’s infirmary.
“…it’s an unfamiliar ceiling.”
The moment he uttered a line unique to the possessor, he stretched out his arms and raised his upper body to get up from the bed.
– Throb!
“Ugh…!”
He frowned as he clutched at his throbbing stomach.
The pain brought back memories I had forgotten about.
Arthur.
The protagonist of the novel possessed by Luke.
He clutched his stomach with one hand and his throbbing head with the other.
Being attacked by demons during practice. The act of confidently attacking the demons and then being miserably defeated.
If you were a normal academy student, it was a perfect opportunity to give up everything like Richie at the time and helplessness right after defeat.
However, in this situation, he had other thoughts.
‘Why did you lose…? According to the original story, I should have won here, right?’
Was it that I didn’t have enough time yet?
no. It wasn’t long after he became possessed, and he lost due to a sense of separation from his previous life.
“Yeah! Common sense tells us that there’s no way the main character will lose, right? I’m the main character of this novel!”
Far from killing someone, you can’t just kill someone casually as soon as you become possessed after living as a normal person in a country with good security.
That’s why I lost.
Arthur justified himself like that.
‘But how am I still alive? Surely there is no reason for me, a loser, to be alive?’
I don’t know if it’s the second half, no, at least the middle. There was no way Leechee, now in the early stages, could defeat that demon.
That’s why if you lose, you should have died.
why is he alive?
‘Perhaps!’
Did something different from the original work happen because of my possession!?
It is a common cliche that a person possesses a character and proceeds in a different direction from the original work.
When it comes to possessive water, it is normal for the original story to change just because the main character is alive and breathing.
‘Oh my gosh, it’s already affecting the original work. How terrifying! ourself!’
The truth was that Luke intervened and dealt with it, but that was all Arthur, who had passed out, could recall.
“Right! Richie!”
Although I remembered it belatedly, the most important thing right now was her.
Arthur quickly looked around.
Originally, this was a standard event where the heroine took care of the fallen protagonist.
Strangely, however, no one was around him.
“·······?”
why not
After pondering for a while, Arthur’s brain came to an arbitrary conclusion.
‘Aha! Richie must have been hurt too, so he must be in another compartment!’
A structure in which both sides of each bed are covered with cloth curtains.
Richie must be hurt too, so she’ll be lying in the compartment next to me!
‘hehehehe… Richie. I’ll take care of you first!’
Arthur, still holding on to his throbbing stomach, jumped up and quickly headed to the next compartment.
However, there was no one in the infirmary except for two extra boys who were in the same group as her.
“What? Why not?”
No, the world revolves around the main character.
Eventually, Richie and I will meet.
Arthur left the infirmary and walked through the academy.
Then, I ran into an unusual two-tone haired female student.
It was the Riche Winchester he had been looking for.
“Huh? Richie! You’re safe!”
After all, I knew we would meet by fate!
Because I am the main character!
Arthur hurriedly ran to Richie with joy.
time for dinner to come. Richie comes out of the dormitory to go out.
It didn’t happen in the original work, but I thought it was a good opportunity to be alone, so I tried to follow it.
“Where are you going Richie? Let’s go too!”
“Move.”
But what comes back is a cold voice and sharp eyes.
Right now, the most important thing for Leechee was to find Luke, who had run away, and obtain information.
‘I have to find him quickly.’
