Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

“Can we go to save Eugene? ”

When I barely arrived at the lake last night and came in the morning, a girl named Park Ji-young came out of the crowd. I burst into laughter at her offer.

Do you really think he's alive?

It would be a foolish idea to take out words in hope. By now, he must have been killed by the prey of a beast. And most of all, if someone dies while you're going to save them, that's a funny situation.

It was foolish of me to risk it for a human being who would already be dead. However, Park Ji-young continued to say his thoughts.

“If we go like this, the other kids might get hit by him. At least we know his existence, so if we don't do it somehow... ”

Who the hell are you worried about? Park Ji-young was throwing up his words with a face that seemed to ask children for justice, although he knew how I felt as one side of my heart was cooling down.

I was at some point listening to her words lightly.

The children also looked distressed. It's good to save, but they know there's no hope. And most importantly, I haven't told the four students who survived yesterday.

The catastrophe I discovered on one side of the forest did not speak to them. These are children who were psychologically atrophied and overwhelmed by fear. I didn't think it would be a good idea to bring that up to them.

I looked around, ignoring Park Ji-young's story lightly. The forest that seemed to surround the lake was very quiet.

In the midst of that tranquillity, animals occasionally stop by the lake to drink water.

It's a peaceful moment, but I really felt that way. That's how calm this place is. However, my back is creepy because I don't know where to look at us.

The look in the hunter's eyes that he saw just before he disappeared. There's no way a guy with that kind of eye can just leave us alone. One way or another, they're going to kill you. Then how do we get him out?

I will not come upon you by chance. There are probably people on this side, so watch out for them. You can never be a hunter without being discreet.

If it really is the worst, we may be looking for and hearing exhausting moments. We have to get him out first before we get tired. We must fight in the best possible condition.

I'm gonna need bait.

So how do we make that bait? I return my gaze to the children who were looking at the forest. Park Ji-young was still talking about something, and the children were listening to her story without overflowing.

It seemed to me that justice was still alive for children. Now the colors I was thinking about were strong. In that respect, Park Ji-young was a girl who knew how to tell people her thoughts.

· · · He is uncomfortable.

The one who can't fight well with his mouth is worthless. Yesterday Park Ji-young had a lot of wounds, but he didn't ask for a drop of blood in a corner of his clothes. That means I've never killed anything since I got here.

I would have fought with the wounds, but I wouldn't have killed them with my own hands. Or maybe it was a runaway wound too. No matter what happens, no one can do it with their own hands.

It's ridiculous that he's telling us to fight.

It was then. Anyway, Song Gyeong carefully grabbed my clothes.

“Brother, what are you going to do? ”

A voice so small that it barely touches me. I thought for a moment about that question as if I were conscious of other children. I looked like a lake watching, and the black eyes of Song Gyeonggi were cold.

What should I tell you? Looking at her pupils, Song Gyeong-yeon opened her mouth first when I was thinking like that.

“· · · You're not going to help me. I honestly don't think a student named Eugene will be alive. If I had to help, I would have had to help out there yesterday. ”

· · · I know very well.

Song Gyeonggin is right. If I wanted to save a student named Eugene, I had to do it yesterday when I was dealing with the beast. What is he talking about, who was terrified there?

Song Ga-yeon seemed to disagree with Park Ji-young. Rather, I don't like the way I feel disgusted when I come and say I want to help.

Man, who shouts from behind anything, does not like it. In her view, Park Ji-young may only look like such a human being. A man who only speaks from behind without standing in front of him. Song Gyeong-yeon and I would have thought the same.

“And so far, Park Ji-young hasn't given my brother one look. I'm sure you already know what he's thinking. It's definitely the other kids that Park Ji-young is after. If you just convince the other kids, they'll think you're coming too. ”

“Perhaps, yes. ”

The fact that Song Gyeong-yeon is noticing is that I already knew about one battle. So far, I've never had an eye. I'm watching her, but she's ignoring me.

· · · It is also a limit to keep listening to such annoying stories.

I needed bait. But we can't use any of us as bait. If you use them, you'd better use them that are worthless to me. They're right in front of you.

I was thinking deeply about how to take it off, but now seemed like a good time. Maybe I was pleased with Park Ji-young's behavior.

After clearing my mind for a moment, I unraveled the silence that I had held so far.

“I'm sorry, but a student named Eugene would already be dead. ”

“· · · Yes? ”

Park Ji-young trembled as I pulled out the horse while remaining silent. Even though I heard my voice, I could only look at the other guy's face without turning my eyes.

Like, I'm scared. Did I do something to her? I think about it, but nothing like that. This is the first and last time I've talked to her.

“And why should we put ourselves at risk? You know he's clearly different from the dwarves we've been dealing with in this forest. Someone might die. What can you do with that death? I'd be happy to help if I could do a miracle. ”

“· · · That's a mistake. ”

Park Ji-young smashes his lips with an angry face. Now it seems to be looking at my face, but my gaze is still facing away. It's like a little boy getting his soul beaten.

However, Park Ji-young continued to open his mouth as if courageously.

“· · · My brother is dead, but he may still be alive. What if he's still alive asking us for help? Leave him to die? Did you see Eugene die? ”

“So you saw him still alive? ”

“What the hell is that! ”

“What we're doing here in the first place is a meaningless argument. If you wanted to save your friend, you'd have to aim for the moment the beast retreated. At least I was looking back then. Why didn't you save him then? ”

“ · · · · · · · · ·. ”

I don't want to hear that I couldn't save it because I was confused at the moment. In the first place, I don't see the beast now, so I have the courage. I don't know what will happen if I meet him again.

At that time, a boy who had remained still opened his mouth.

“Park Ji-young, now give up. You were right in the first place. Eugene must be dead. You saw how he kills people. I can't believe he's kept Eugene alive so far. ”

“Shut up! You guys are the worst bastards! Why are you running away from Eugene? ”

“· · · Sorry. But we can't beat him. And in conclusion, you ran away, too. I told you to fight, but you were the one behind it. ”

“I can't do that · · ·. ”

Park Ji-young's expression distorted at the words of a boy. The boy was just looking at Park Ji-young tirelessly. Seeing his face bitten with guilt and fatigue, he didn't seem to sleep very well last night.

It's no fun, it's no fun, it's no fun, it's no fun. I took the story out as if I had removed the heavy atmosphere caused by the two conversations.

“If you really want to save Eugene, there's no way. But someone has to take risks. Park Ji-young, if you hug me alone, I'll help you catch the beast. ”

“· · · You want me to take the risk alone? ”

“Yes. It's an operation that needs to be done. If you can't take that risk, frankly, all you have to say is bullshit. What do you want to do?”

Park Ji-young's face turned blue.
