Dungeon Defense (WN)

< -- Guardian --> 『 497 』

“No, I don't owe you an apology. ”

“Choosing an agent for the original scenario must be strictly contractual. It is not until you explain everything to the contractor, seek consent, and seek consent again. ”

This was consistent with my expectations.

If they couldn't end me on their own, it was fitting that they couldn't start me on their own. The reason the young man in front of his eyes pulled it out in words is probably....

I saw the look on her face. The woman looks at this side with somewhat unsatisfactory eyes. Haven't you noticed? or to block that possibility unconsciously. Either way, it was a sad story.

“You have a so-called unfair contract with me. ”

“I'm afraid so. There he is. Personally, I'm my boss, but I forced the contract with a by-law. That reason or childish pride contest...... We have no excuse for even ten mouths. ”

Finally, the woman noticed an ominous spill. My face turned dark at the same time. She tried to tell me something, but my orders made her lips tingle.

“Keep talking. ”

“I reported everything to my superiors. Dantalian... No, I'm sorry. Jacomo Scruta set an all-time record. The bosses decided that the person who deceived him with a subtle pun deserved to be punished. ”

“You……!? ”

The woman gasps and snorts. Her face is distorted with anger. Destiny was decided somewhere without even knowing it. You will be humiliated there.

“Treatment has been provisionally determined. ”

The young man ignored the woman.

“You will be banished to a world that is forever isolated and taste a blissful purgatory. But most of all, it was Dory who gave the decision to the injured party. ”

“You want me to take care of you? ”

“I'm prepared to accept some rather harsh penalties. ”

The woman sat down, flabby. Her face is filled with despair. Finally, I was happy to come to save myself from the organization, and the result was this shape.

She shuddered as if she couldn't believe it. When we looked carefully, it was not unfortunate. What. I was a compassionate human being.

“You can manipulate your personality or you can distort your body. Endless pain, endless despair. Please note that this is not a wish, but a simple punishment. There's nothing to worry about. ”

“ ……. ”

I tapped the table with my finger.

“I don't expect great punishment. I'm interested in a more meaningful outcome. ”

“What if I told you it was a meaningful outcome? ”

“Get rid of her body. ”

The woman suddenly looked at my face. What are you talking about? It was that look.

“Eradicating the body... Are you condemning death?" ”

“No. I just want you to make sure there is no 'place to return' even if you die here. If the body disappears, her life here will be her whole life. ”

“…… indeed. I understand.”

The young man's eyes narrowed.

The young man paused as he tried to continue talking. He swallows a needle two or three times before opening his mouth.

“I understand. I mean, that's enough. ”

“Ah. I'd appreciate it if you stopped looking at this from the outside. I'm not as familiar with exposure play as I am with Barbato or Citri as I am with sexual orientation. ”

“…… You seem to have enjoyed Miss De Farnese quite a bit. ”

“Oops. Exposing my partner is a different matter than exposing myself. Don't you think?”

I smiled small.

“It's something to sing about in many ways. ”

The young man smiled beautifully. I wanted to apologize for stealing this side of my life. The personalities were a good match. I don't know if I would have made friends easily if I had met them in a different form.

I escorted the young man to the front door. In other words, he did not show himself at all. I was not pleased that uninvited people came to this world in succession, and to be honest, I wanted you to leave quickly.

“I mean, I don't think it's any consolation... …. ”

The blonde boy looked at me before he left. I shrug.

“Don't worry. Not just you, but everyone else's comfort is equally meaningless. ”

“You've done an amazing thing. It's not just about appearances. The equation of ethics that you have shown...... The aesthetics that you have kept to the end in dealing with others, will remain in my memory forever. ”

The young man slowly lowered his waist. As much as I'd like to salute you.

“It's been an honor all my life. ”

And the young man left the mansion.

“Mmmm.”

I opened my eyes to the idea that the trouble was shorted out. Suddenly, looking at the woman, she stares at the door, dumbfounded. The focus disappeared in the eyes. He looked like he couldn't accept the reality.

“You can say it now. ”

You released the Golden Ingot's order. The taboo was lifted, but the woman could not say anything. I smiled softly.

“From now on, it's okay to kill yourself anytime. ”

“ ……. ”

“You can take it a little seriously. ”

He also gave orders not to commit suicide. Death or life is now entirely up to the woman's choice. Suicide out of desperation in life, continuing the rest of your life by biting your teeth. I was confident that either side would enjoy watching.

Ever since that day, the woman has always been by the door.

She sits on the floor of the room staring out the window, her gaze dazed, her unconscious eyes dimmed. Sometimes I asked him a question and he didn't answer. I was not dissatisfied with the woman who had become like a broken doll because she had a corner to admire. Pets usually can't talk in human language.

One day, a woman disappeared.

I woke up this morning and convinced her, "She ran away." The woman was free from most of her actions, with the exception of harm to me. He could wander the world for many years, decades and hundreds of years.

It was okay to be killed by a live human on the way.

That would also be a coincidence in life.

And the moment I opened the door to get the morning air and came out, the woman was hanging from the willow tree, as if she had always been there.

“ ……. ”

I stopped.

Like a strangled corpse, the woman's appearance is hideous to the enemy. The rope chokes firmly, and a long tongue creases out. It's better not to mention the lower body, even for the honor of a woman. A troublesome ending hangs there.

“Did it come out that way.... ”

My heart was amazed and peaceful.

In fact, I knew this was a normal solution. I also never thought about suicide once or twice. Hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of suicides in his head. This impulse was still reflected in the hallucination, and the shadows were still gnawing my arms and legs with their teeth.

I accepted the impulse, and the woman was defeated.

That was it.

“It's easier to just slit your throat than slaughter. ”

I cut the rope from the branch, grumbling. The corpse falls into disarray. You brought a cart and loaded the corpse. I left the body in the wilderness because I had no reason to make it to the grave with time and effort.

“Will they be fed to wild animals or to witches?" ”

No matter how pretty you look, this is what happens when the fundamental part of your mind is weak. It was a pity. I went back to that business and took a light step. Later on, I visited the same place around spring, but it was particularly interesting because the cherry blossoms bloomed abundantly in the area.

Time has passed.

Maybe it's because the horse opponent is missing. I'm getting shorter and shorter at talking to myself. I don't know if it has anything to do with that, but I started hearing voices in my portraits. Basically, it was like a normal vision.

─ Son of a bitch.

You hear a murmur. It's a painting of Barbatos. If I turned my gaze away for a moment, I would gossip or babble as if the portraits were waiting. I answered this confused symptom appropriately as ever.

“I'm such an asshole. ”

─ Son of a bitch with a plate on his face.

“That's also a good point. But we're both too old to masturbate with self-loathing. I'd appreciate it if you could bring me a new repertoire. ”

The surroundings are calm. It's only a matter of time before you calm down. As I focused on the canvas and drew the picture, I suddenly muttered a lot of voices. Sometimes the voices overlapped and overlapped, making an enormous noise and harassing this side.

About a year after I started painting, I realized this was not a useful hobby. It was never good for my mental health to draw a portrait of the people I killed. Even though the visions have been clear for some time, they now show their presence much more intensely than before, as if they were embedded in a portrait.

It was nice to be loud.

There must have been some scarring due to the loud noise.

Time has passed.

The granddaughter of Novgorod's portrait took a real look at my paintings. I was definitely a kid when I first saw her, but I was about a year old in middle school. Her face was completely different, but Daisy was a little awkward when she came to me at that age.

You can't just leave him in the closet! ’My granddaughter insisted strongly. Instead of having to remain in history, the treasure of humanity used glorious vocabulary like a girl during puberty. He comes by every full day and vomits without tiring. Of course I ignored it.

Time has passed.

The voices were particularly loud. I also screamed at the paintings. Then his voice subsided for a while, but he revived me again and poured all kinds of curses on me. One day, I couldn't take it anymore, so I tore the portrait of Pymon with my sword.

At that moment, a tearing scream rang out.

I clasped my ears and knelt on the floor. The screams continue for a while. Screams of blood on your voice, a devastating curse upon you. After a long time, I realized what I had done.

“Ah, ah. ”

I hugged Pymon's portrait. The sharp tear in the center of the drawing suggests that blood could be spilled right away. My body was shaking uncontrollably. One morning, I woke up and saw the portrait of Lapis, Laura's portrait, and Barbato's portrait torn apart.

I couldn't control the time I slept. This became clear. So I decided not to fall asleep forever. It was okay. This body was tolerable. My consciousness, perhaps, could endure.

Time has passed.

Time has passed.

…… time was running out.
