Doppelgänger's Journal

(feat. moth)

Harpoons live hard today.

You have to work hard today to survive tomorrow.

You only get a day of your life by killing people.

It may be a day for some, but it's a day I've always hoped for for.

End of today's diary!

“…… what are you doing? ”

[I suddenly felt the importance of today, so I wrote a diary.]

The rabbit was singing a nostril and scribbling on the paper.

I was greatly moved by the sad story that I couldn't hear without tears.

[But it's really inefficient. Life span has only increased by one day after taking the life of a single person.]

“We don't take people's lives. ”

[Or what?]

The Doppelgängers have corrected the rabbit's misunderstanding.

“By killing a person, we absorb the ‘day’ contained in Maple's egg. ”

“Maple's lifespan? ”

The words reminded me of this.

It turned out that killing people was only an intermediate process.

What they really wanted was not a man, but a maple egg hanging over his head.

“If the host dies, Maple's egg explodes immediately. ”

“As the egg explodes, the lifespan in it flows into us. ”

“We share the lives of the day in our eggs. ”

“Playing a game is like playing a party and sharing experience. ”

“So it's better for us to have more people around than to be alone. Humans are swarming. ”

This was the easiest thing about being an intelligent monster.

They're so desperate for their lives, they threaten a little, and then they tell you a secret.

My thoughtful mind came up with a good idea.

“Then why don't you just blow up the egg without killing anyone? Then people don't die. You don't die. ”

“Impossible. The egg cannot be seen or touched. ”

“We can only estimate its location and size through pheromones. ”

“How do you pop an egg you can't touch? ”

“If that were possible, we would have chosen kidnapping rather than killing the participants. ”

“Kidnapping?”

Their answer gives me a slight chill.

So naturally, it was "kidnapping, not murder."

That said, since human life is honorable, it didn't mean we didn't want to hurt it.

On the contrary.

They are saying that if they could, they would have made a ‘Human Breeding Mill’ that would catch Humans and lay an unlimited number of eggs.

You're not gonna tie me up and keep the maple laying eggs on my head?]

“Yes, if such a system were possible, we could live forever without worrying about tomorrow. ”

“ ……. ”

Seeing the Doppelgängers expressing their sincere condolences on the rabbit's words, I felt a chill.

He nods.

“Well, it's definitely not human. It looks just like a human, but it has no humanity. He's a psychopath if he plays nice. ”

[Yes, monsters are monsters.]

At first, it was a bit confusing, but the Doppelgänger was definitely a monster.

I had a human memory, so I could communicate well, but I was completely different from my original personality.

[Master, needless to say, they're just degenerates. Just give me the order and I'll clean it up.]

Chuck.

Behind them, Dr. Bahamut, a janitor, was already staring at them as if they were 'worms.'

As soon as he came out of the warehouse on a call, he marked the Doppelgängers as' bugs’ and lifted out his broom.

If he hadn't stopped them, he would have crushed their necks in an instant. Like a bug.

[So what do you want to do with these vermin?]

“Hmm.”

Seeing Bahamut's gaze, he asked me to give him a final notice, I thought about it for a moment.

Then the fast-catching Doppelgängers quickly claim their survival.

“Help us! I thought you said you'd let me go if you answered me right! ”

“Yes! Help me! We're gonna die if we don't do something about it. Just let us go! ”

“... Can't you? Short speech? ”

“Please let me go, sir. ”

“Release me and I will not forget your kindness, sir. ”

The Doppelgänger twitched their eyebrows and changed their tone to a deeply respectable name.

What it looks like is that Notty, I mean, their average age is 10,000 a day.

By comparison, the age was a great grandfather.

The rabbit disagreed.

[God damn grace. Don't untie me. Have you ever seen a monster repay you? They'll probably attack us as soon as they release him.]

“Absolutely not. Senior.”

“After all, we are intelligent people. I will run as far away as possible, even if I don't want to die. ”

“We are the moths who kill to live, not the fireflies who rush to die. ”

I didn't want to die because they were more sensitive to death than anyone else.

“Besides...... there's nothing you can get for killing us. ”

“Hmm?"

The Doppelgängers with their babies eventually reveal their last secrets.

Doppelgängers were born in harmony with the human form (host) who lay their eggs at birth.

The reproduction included all the special reinforcement weapons, such as clothing and equipment, and it was very surprising that even the option effects that were hanging were applied uniformly.

However, when we looked closely, there were subtle limitations for them.

All the equipment worn by the Doppelgängers was only a part of their body that changed.

The armor they were wearing was their skin, and the weapon they were holding was their claws.

“…… and our weapons will disappear into white ash as soon as they fall off our bodies. ”

“So if you slaughter us, you won't get any items. ”

“So help me. If you kill us, you really won't get anything. ”

The Doppelgängers actively demonstrated their secrets.

I wanted to live with pride and nothing.

You don't have to keep your mouth shut and force the human body to...) I was afraid I'd be experimented on.

If it were Bahamuth, who was brushing his broom like crazy behind him, he would have remained so.

The 'Petrifying Arrow’ was the problem in the beginning.

No matter how much skin looks like armor, what do you do?

What if a part of your body looks like a shield?

Rather, it was a problem because it was the 'body.’

The stone snake's venom immediately turned to stone as soon as it touched its body.

There was no way to stop them.

It was perfectly natural that Jungdown could easily defeat the Doppelgängers, and unfortunate for the Doppelgängers.

“I didn't know that petrifying poison was so dramatic for us today. Of course I was born today. ”

“I was born yesterday, but I first found out today. ”

[Oh, you were born yesterday means you've already killed one person?]

Hot.

Doppelgängers with pale complexion to rabbit points.

The old man who kept sweeping his chin away while they were distracted and was in serious trouble.

At last, you raise your head to see if his troubles are over.

And announced.

“Fine. Let's just let him go. ”

It's been a long time since anyone's been a good man.]

The rabbit mocks, but the decision is not overturned.

“Thank you! Thank you! ”

The Doppelgängers gathered their mouths to praise him, while the faces of participants who were lying side-by-side and stiff were reflected.

Once they were released, they would surely seek their own lives again.

That, too, within today.

But it wasn't over yet.

“Come with me today instead. The one who runs away will be hit again with an arrow. ”

“…… Yes? ”

That made the Doppelgänger look even more contemplative.

“No way! You want to watch us die!? ”

“This vicious……! ”

[Hiic? Evil. The real Devil was here! The true king of psychopaths is here!]

“That's not it, you guys. ”

Jungdown sighed and took out his smartphone.

“I'm just curious. ”

Tiering.

His eyes were glittering while he was turning on the camera app.

“If Maple's egg is invisible and you have to kill a person, don't you wonder if you can see it? ”

“…… Yes? ”

“What's that? ”

No one immediately understood that.

“You'd be quicker to show me, wouldn't you? ”

The question was unbearable.

Immediately, he drags all the doppelgangers out of the mosaic house.

* * *

“KiHIT!”

Wheelik! Whee!

The only thing that was quiet and quiet was the room.

One step outside, the world was waiting for hell.

“Kihiyo!”

Maples with puckered embroidery in the sky.

The sound of their whips ripping through the wind is deafening.

Tiering.

In front of him, Jungdown turns on the camera.

“Oh my...! ”

Admiration comes from the Doppelgängers behind him.

Jungdown glances back, smiling.

“What do you think? Do you see them now? ”

“Oh my God……. ”

“Is that all of them? ”

The Doppelgängers suspected the snow.

The world that looked beyond the mobile phone crystal was completely different from the real world that was in front of me.

Tong, Tong!

Like he said, white eggs were falling like hail from the sky.

[Eggs Watsu-yo!]

Totality! Totality...!

A rabbit that dances shoulder to shoulder behind it.

[A delicious egg that can't die the first day after eating it -!]

Tornadoes! Tornadoes!

Yes, it is.

What a delicious egg!

The Easter egg-like tangled marmalade and tasty eggs were raining justly from the sky.

Like a pitching machine in a creepy arcade.

Just like the bad brothers and sisters in the arcade spit.

White eggs protrude from the buttocks of the whipping maple.

To lay eggs on a straight head!

Looking up at its beautiful appearance, the Doppelgängers burst into elasticity.

“Bo, I see...! ”

“I see it!”

“Oh, my God! You can see the egg! ”

“Purge.”

Phew.

Jungdown picked a frightening Doppelgänger and released the mural, handing him a cell phone.

“Now, go check it out. ”

“What, what? ”

It was just a bunch of doppelgangers.

“I've done this, but I have to feed them all? See if you can see it, or if you can see it, and see for yourself if you can pop an egg. ”

“ ……! ”

Do we need more horses?

“Yes, sir. ”

Flash!

He leaps upward, polite as a chisel.

He swung his longsword in his hand and lowered the waist of the falling maple egg in one swoop.

Flash!

“…… It's empty! ”

Both cavities were mistaken.

“Oh, what a waste. ”

Seeing the egg squeezing down through the blade, I made a dull look.

[Aye, that's right. I didn't expect that.]

Even the rabbit kicked his tongue.

But Alpha, who had been silent until then, said.

< Magic will work better than physical attacks. >

“Huh? Aha! ”

He shouted as he clapped his knees.

“Hey! Don't just hit me, use your skills! ”

“…… ah! ”

At that moment, the Doppelgänger's eyes widen and a white sword forms on the blade.

“Sword of Swiftness! ”

Flash!

Immediately, an intangible force that dramatically speeds up his attack speed settles on his sword.

And...

Boom!

“Success!”

It worked this time!

When his sword pierced Maple's egg, which was neither visible nor untouchable, bam! It exploded like smoke!

“Ahh…! ”

At that moment, the Doppelgängers shook at the same time.

Life span has increased!

The egg was just spawned, so its size was too small and its added lifespan was just the size of a grain.

They clearly felt it.

‘Life span has definitely increased! ’

About a minute! ’

Looking at it, Alpha announced later.

< The fundamentals of magic start by checking the ‘coordinates’ of the opponent. This is how important it is to see. >

And the rabbit said,

[Well, sometimes you don't.]

“Alpha, tell me the truth. You know that now, right? ”

[Where are you going to bury him?]

< ……. >

It was an Alpha that quietly retreated to their onslaught.
