Have a Meal Before You Go

Puck!

When Cheolho's fist swarmed in, Echo was embarrassed. I tried to use space travel, but the bars holding the sleeves in between moved together.

Puck!

Echo gets hit and falls out again.

And then I got up.

“Oh, shit! ”

“You've never been in melee combat, have you? ”

At Cheolho's words, Echo nods.

It was true.

Technically, Echo's M.O. was specialized in many tasks. So there was a significant power gap between being equal to or higher than yourself.

“You'll need to get used to melee combat. ”

The struggle with Cheolho had such intentions. Echo stands up pouting.

It exploded again today.

* * *

When the duel is over, head for the safe gate.

Echo puts his hand on the necklace.

Aaaaah!

Soon the ogre covered Echo's entire body.

Chuck-koong!

Ogre rides excite the whole body.

[Oh......]

This Ogre is a test form of Ogre that Pata is producing specifically for Echo.

Echo is currently a six-class master.

Chulho has made a quest to craft an Ogre to Echo and Khan's.

[This is awesome.]

Echo enters a hollow, verifiable gate and is on the move.

Ogre is quite satisfied.

There were artificial muscles embedded in the whole body, and his magical sensitivity was high, allowing him to move freely. Approximately two meters in and out. Although smaller than expected, there are five power sources embedded in both arms.

This power source...

Jiaying!

Echo pours out his magical power, and the power source lights up strangely and amplifies it with a tremendous amount of energy.

Uhhhhhhh!

All those magical powers turned into magic bullets, floating all over the place. A little bigger than a basketball, not to mention destructive. Even if it's a can, if you get a few blasts from it, it'll knock you out.

[Awesome!]

Echo exudes magical power and moves the ogre.

[Let's move!]

Paaaahhhh!

The clasp opens and a magical burst gushes out. Echo's ogre moves like a gunshot. Echo sprints up into the air with excitement.

Shhhhh!

The air cracks. The magical rounds gather, scattering and repeating as if they were alive. Echo moves the ogre by himself and hears a strange sound.

Kyurik-

Huh?

Your left arm is sagging.

[......?]

Chuck-knock!

The left leg squeezes, and then it falls apart.

[......]

Pot!

Echo escapes from the Ogre as he looks at the collapsing Ogre, separated by parts.

“Er...... umm......”

The magic ammunition that was everywhere was quickly lost its power and faded. The gas that had come a while ago has now turned into a lump of iron.

Echo swallows a saliva. He rolls his eyes back and frowns.

“Khh, khh, something went wrong......”

Pata, that was the last of the test cases, so she asked me to weaken the range and output tests, please.

I also asked you three times not to overreact, since this is a test vehicle.

Echo created this catastrophe after he was so excited and exhausted.

“What do I do?”

Echo sits facedown, deeply troubled.

Pata was a stubborn, annoying dragon, unlike what she looked like. He would definitely be very angry and could nag for the rest of his life.

That's......

I'd rather die.

Echo broke an ogre the other day.

Once last time, once a few days ago.

Echo's head flashes as he chews his nails.

.

“Y-yes...... Y-yeah, you mean the Ogre Repair? ”

Ryu was a little embarrassed.

“Yes, yes. ”

Echo raised a cup of coffee in front of him.

“My body is broken, please fix it. ”

“Well, it shouldn't be that hard. You mean the Ogre you made at Pata's Workshop? ”

“Yes."

Echo unloads the wreckage that was magically lifted up.

“Oh...... It's completely destroyed. ”

“...... how long will it take? ”

“I'll have enough for three days. ”

“Good. This body stays here for a while. ”

Ryu nods.

“Let's stay in the Imperial Court. ”

“That's enough.”

Echo shakes his hand.

“Oh, right. ”

Suddenly, I opened my mouth as if I had remembered Ryu.

“If riding Gorems are difficult to control, you might want to check out our playroom. ”

“What? The arcade? ”

Echo blinks.

“Yes, we used to choose games as a way to train Gorem pilots. If you go to the arcade, you'll find a game called" Gorem War. "A duel game with an interface that almost resembles that of a Gorem. ”

“Hmmm......”

Echo nods quietly.

“You can replace the coin with this card. This will be the card for all payments within Keticum. ”

“Thank you.”

Echo takes the card.

Then I jumped lightly down the window.

“...... ”

Ryu looked out the window. One day, Echo was making a space move in the distance, making a volatile move.

* * *

I looked up at the sky.

There are always dark clouds, and there is no sky that smells harsh anymore.

The sky was clear. The sun gave it to the world. Turning around, everyone was out on the street enjoying the sunshine, wearing something like sunglasses.

Echo puts his hand in his pocket and walks between them.

Beyond the sky, wind spirits and water spirits are still busy moving.

Echo chuckles.

Keticum has really changed a lot.

The sun was obviously very important. It changed people's mood, just because it rained down on the world. A warm energy permeated the city.

“...... Huh. ”

Ketikom was also a highly developed future society. Although this area rarely utilizes fixed energy, there were a lot of alternative energies, including electricity.

Echo wanders through the colorful streets and finds a massive building.

Phew. Phew. Phew.

Follow me.

Chug, chug, chug!

At the sound of a commotion, a whole building was a playroom.

“Wow!"

Echo was startled. I had never seen such a huge playroom before in my life.

At a glance, a group of various ages in Keticum were enjoying the game.

Echo turns to his left and to his right as he enters the arcade. What are the most games?

It was also "Gorem War." Riding on a recreational machine in the form of a capsule, the charge was like a recreational machine of the stream.

Echo enters the void.

When asked to put coins, the payment was completed by taking the card.

Three Gorems stand before you with a message asking you to choose a gas.

Echo chose the most agile Gorem. This "Battle of Gorem" excludes the magical power. Gorems with equal output are based on pure fighting ability.

Echo's fight is almost rat poison, but I thought he couldn't beat the little ones.

“Indeed.”

The inside of the capsule was made of materials similar to artificial muscles, allowing the movement of arms and legs.

It was about the time Echo was obsessed with the operation.

[Challenger Appears!]

Looks like someone's challenging themselves.

Echo grins.

“Come on, suckers. ”

* * *

I lost.

After about 22 consecutive copies, Echo jumps out of the capsule angry for some reason.

“Son of a bitch! Come out! ”

The capsule next to the seat was opened.

What came down from there was a little boy who looked a little younger than ten. The boy blinks and looks at Echo.

“Mister, you can't do this. ”

“What…… Syrah? ”

“The kids at my school are better than you. ”

“...... ”

Tendon rises from Echo's brow.

“No!”

“It's true. You're almost a standing sandwich bag. ”

Parker!

There are two tendons on Echo's forehead.

“No, you idiot! Do you want to die? ”

The boy's eyes are wide open.

“Then why don't you call my classmates and have a game? What do you do when you lose? ”

“What? Look at this rascal! ”

Echo hollers.

“Every time I lose a match, I want a cookie. ”

“Wow, sweets? ”

“Yes!”

The boy blinks. He's definitely a kid.

“...... ”

Echo nods, his eyes narrowed.

“Good. When this body wins a game, Mada? ”

“Well, I'll admit, I'm good at it. ”

Somehow it seemed like a business venture, but Echo happily agreed.

“Here, call all your friends. I'll rip your throat out! ”

.

“...... ”

Ryu looked at his cell phone.

[Payment Amount]

[1200 Root.]

“......? ”

The payment was coming in minutes.

[Payment Amount]

[1200 Root.]

How does the same amount continue?

There was already 1200 routing payments for the third day.

No way. Where did Echo lose his card?

1200, roughly 2,000 won in Earth currency. No matter how much 2,000 won is accumulated, it is quite large.

Seems odd, Ryu pulled out the card tracker.

Beep, beep, beep.

The cards have been staying in the same place for a while.

Entertainment room?

Ryu eventually left the Imperial Court.

You walk slowly down the street, and somehow you get to the arcade, and there's a long line.

What's the line?

They looked about ten years old together. The children looked at Ryu and smiled brightly.

“Emperor! Hello!”

“So, how are you? ”

The children did not have great objections to Ryu. Rather, I only have a friendly heart like the one next door. It was evidence that he was a member of the Royal Family.

“Okay, what line is this? ”

“Here! Julieta said there's a guy in the arcade. Every time I lost in Gorem War, I decided to buy her a snack, so that all the kids in the whole school stood in line. ”

“......? ”

Just after leaving the entertainment room door, the little ones sneak up with snacks in one hand.

[Nitrogen chips]

It was nitrogen chips fried by thin stirring of the root plants. That's, like, 2,000 won worth of chips in a bag. The sheep is small and expensive, but tasty.

Ryu slowly went into the arcade.

The children camped out in front of the Gorem War amusement machine.

On top of the arcade was a huge multivision of the game.

[K O!]

Echo was being elongated KO's. Sometimes I lost in 30 seconds, and then I lost in 1 minute, and then I lost in 10 minutes.

“Hey! You lost again! Get a cookie! ”

On the other side, there was a little boy in front of the store holding Ryu's cards. Every time Echo loses, he buys a bag of nitrogen chips.

“...... ”

Ryu sat in a chair in the playroom with a false laugh.

Echo was humiliated that day by an ex-school student from the age of 7 to early teenagers at Ketikom.

Chihuahua!

By the time Echo's recording of the war broke out of the capsule, the day was already late.

“Wow! Thank you, sir! ”

About the time the last boy ran out with a bag of nitrogen chips, Echo was squatting and ripping his head off.

“You made a ridiculous bet. ”

Ryu sighed and said.

“...... It's strange. This body, this body..... I can't lose......”

“Kids in Keticum have been trained as Gorem pilots since they were very young. I grew up watching Gorem Feud on television from the moment I stepped down, and it's a mandatory education for schools. ”

“...... ”

And I said, "Oh, would that be Stark? I heard from Steelho that everyone on Earth used to do a good job with Stark. ”

“...... ”

Echo's eyes are wide open.

“I understand. What about my ogre?”

“If you go to the Imperial Court, you will receive a handover. ”

Echo went to the store, picked up a card and handed it to Ryu.

“...... I'll come again. ”

“Anytime.”

And the back echo pulls out a large stable stone. On Earth, the first grade was a quality horse's foot stone.

“Take it.”

“...... That's okay. ”

“You have to have it. You have to come back often. ”

Echo grunts and leaves the arcade.

“Those kids, they took this body and they cheated. If it's like the Starks on Earth, it's filled with monsters like Iron Hoe. I got scammed.”

.

- Ugh, ugh, ugh...

You hear echo whimpering.

“...... ”

Cheolho purposely closes his senses and asks the Khan.

“Did you hit Echo? ”

“Hit me? Why? ”

“Isn't it?”

“I'm not.”

“I see.”

Cheolho put strawberry jam with lots of strawberry beef on the toasted toast with a tilted head. After applying it thoroughly, I fed one of the tangerines.

Tangerine laughed and ate the toast.

- Ugh, ugh, ugh...

Echo was stuck in my room, moaning for a long time.

- Ugh... I'm going to take revenge...... Ugh......

“...... ”

Chulho tilts his head again. And I once again gave the tangerine another mouthful of toast.

The end.
