It was then.

“That.”

As soon as Eldora tried to growl again,

“Excalibur?”

A silent voice flowed between the two.

The alluring aesthetic of the listener's ears. Her voice was so beautiful that even Eldora, who had a combat attitude, was sluggish.

“Are you the master of that sword? ”

A woman who appears to have awoken from the void stares at the target with interesting eyes. Suddenly, Eldora walks without even knowing it. I took a few steps back to see if I realized my actions and gave a flawed surprise.

No energy, no pressure detected. Respect was unexpected, but it felt like a child who did not know the world was asking with pure curiosity.

The opponent in front of you is an unknown creature that makes you feel infinite anxiety, not human. As Eldora, after this ordeal, I felt confused by the attitude of a woman who felt more human than I thought. Of course, the Knights of the Round Table felt awkward as well.

“... Let's sit down first. ”

Melinus, who broke her silence, solemnly said. Suddenly, all thirteen of the Knights of the Round Table gathered together. Later, some knights dragged chairs around and a total of 15, including women, sat around a large desk.

Contrary to the woman who showed little interest, there were 14 people, including Eldora, who were very nervous. So the table was only quiet for a while.

In the end, twelve pairs of eyes, except for the woman, turned to Melinus and Ian. I thought they were perfect for this.

“I'm confused.”

At that time, the woman opens her mouth like a mirage. There is a bewildering light everywhere that I didn't think I'd get it out first. Ian seems to have regained his senses quickly.

“Confused?”

The woman smiled and said.

“I can't believe the human being I saw as soon as I woke up... ”

“... I thought you were human? ”

Ian's eyes are sharpened.

“Wait.”

For a short while, someone raised their hand with a hanging voice. Melinus, who stopped the story, suddenly pulls out a single blue orb from her arms and pushes it in front of the woman.

“Before we talk, I have a favor to ask. ”

Beads, several knights who recognized the correction of truth, burst a small elasticity. At the same time, I breathed in secret as if I was relieved. It was a relief that someone had made their own preparations in a stunning situation.

“I'd like you to put your hands on that marble and shed some of your energy. If you'll excuse me. ”

The woman tilts her head, but gives a funny look and gently raises her hand to the crystal of truth. After a while, the bead emits a faint glow. Melinus gives Ian a glance and nods.

“Eh…. I don't know how to say this, but first we're human beings. ”

“I know. ”

The woman smiled calmly and was frustrated. Ian is awkward with his attitude of being so polite.

“You said that. I'm confused, and I never thought I'd be human. ”

“Yes.”

“Can you tell me the exact meaning of that? ”

“ ……. ”

The woman gives you a moment's thought and opens her mouth quietly.

“I can answer that question with one answer. Literally. I've been asleep for a long time, and I wanted to wake up one day. But it meant I didn't think it was a human being who liberated me. ”

“Why didn't you know you were human? ”

Melinus takes it as soon as it's done. At that moment, a slightly lower voice came out of the woman's face as her smile cleared.

“Of course. Humans were involved in the process when they were defeated and sealed in ancient wars. On the other side, of course. because there were no humans in my followers. ”

“Hmm. I don't have one or two questions... Once I heard the word, it sounded like I wasn't really human. ”

Melinus calms down, and the woman tilts her head slowly. It seemed to me that I was curious.

“One of the things we're most curious about right now is ”

Melinus' face became more serious as well.

“Who you are and what you need to be. ”

“That's a bit of a surprise. Exactly what answer do you want? ”

“It's simple. If you're not human, like a god... ”

“Yes.”

The woman stops speaking to Melinus and nods.

“That's right."

And at the same time, all of the Knights of the Round Table looked ridiculous. Too, too simple. Some felt unrealistic beyond doubting their ears. However, the woman clearly responded to the word "God," and firmly agreed.

Above all.

The light of the Crystal of Truth is blue all the time. Not even a little while ago.

It was that moment.

Wudang Tang!

Suddenly, a loud rumble rings through the Great Library. Wherever Ian naturally stared, he fell on his chair and was in a circle. The tearing eyes reveal an unbelievable aura. Ian barely laid his hands on the ground and straightened his upper body.

“No, that's ridiculous.... This, this... ”

“Ian, calm down. ”

Ian barely stood up under Melinus' support and stared at the woman with a surprised glance. Then he swiped his hair gently and opened his mouth.

“Is it so amazing that there is a God? ”

“No... That's, that's not it. ”

Ian barely shakes his head, deniing it, and stares at the woman with a nervous face.

“Because I think I know who you are, or what God you are. That's why I was surprised. ”

The woman's eyes touched the duvet.

“When I saw the mural, I didn't think... It's a very old record, but I read it. The justification of death... The coming of destruction.... ”

“Ho.”

“Yes, Tanatos. The flower of Tanatos. That's what it said, obviously. ”

“… this is amazing. I can't believe there's still a human who remembers my true name. ”

The color of the light remains unchanged, and the cool recognition of the woman. At that moment, Ian suddenly collapsed into a chair to see if his strength had gone out. Suddenly, he wrapped his hands around his face.

“Oh my God…. What kind of creature have we liberated...? How did this happen... ”

The knights at the Round Table who were just listening looked at Ian with tense eyes. The justification of death, the coming of destruction. I don't think that's a good thing to hear. Although I was suffering while talking to myself prominently, I was able to sense that the woman in front of me was an irritating presence.

The tension that was loosening slightly due to the woman's polite attitude, became tense again a little earlier. Some of them are already grabbing the gold weapon. The resurrected tension quickly shifts to a sudden state of fluctuation, as if it were about to break.

“Of course.”

At that moment, the woman looking around relaxed suddenly folded her arms.

“Now, may I ask you a question? if you don't mind. ”

When the woman, or Tanatos, smiled, all of them flinched and showed a beautiful face. It's an act of admitting that you are a god and not feeling like one at all.

However, once the tension with the current was accelerating even more. Even the drops of sweat were drawn from the blade held by Eldora.

As everyone waits for the signal, Tanatos speaks.

“Who are you people? ”

“… What? ”

An unexpected question frowns over Eldora's Army. I did not understand the intention of the question.

“Oh, wrong question. Of course you're human. ”

Tanatos shakes his head slowly, feeling a slight tingling sensation.

“But…. Well, what can I say? I felt something... Foreign body? I feel that kind of energy. ”

When he said that, he suddenly grabbed me gently.

“Ah. I mean, I feel like a stranger, not supposed to be in this world. ”

I was momentarily distracted by the library when tensions were piling up. The users began to look at each other in different embarrassing ways. Tanatos said it was a feeling, but it was actually the right one. Then Ian nods in a hurry.

“No, that's right. As you said, we are not people of this world. The original world was separate, and this Hall Plane was forcibly summoned. ”

“So I see.... What? Forced? ”

Tanatos, who seemed to take it lightly, suddenly reacted with the following words. Suddenly, he faced Eldora accurately and asked as if he was really curious.

“Why? Why was it summoned by force? For what purpose?"

“That.”

Eldora opened her mouth in a reflexive manner.

“Th…. ”

At that moment,

“... case. ”

I looked speechless.

It wasn't just Eldora. Melinus, of course, is equally perplexed by all the Knights of the Round Table.

The question of Gonorrhea Tanatos was very simple. It was also a question that everyone had thought about at least once.

Why?

… but…

“ ……. ”

On the other hand, it was a key question.

True intention of existence as a user, which no one else knows except for one person.

*

As a result of the shouting, Ansol's box could barely be opened.

After being greatly surprised, the three of them drop their crates and line up as if they were shooting.

In fact, I can't help but admire the cruelty of the two men who ran away with Ansol at the same time and set foot as bait, and I decided to stop at the line that only confiscates the boxes. (In fact, Ansol was reluctant to cry that he was betrayed.)

After collecting the crate and returning, I thought about it for a long time and spoke to Hwa.

‘Hwa Hwa.’

- What's the matter?

You're still awake. Thank goodness.

Tell me everything you know about Tanatos. ’

- Hey, I told you not to talk about him. It's offensive to even think about it!

‘Please, please. You're the only one I can trust. ’

-... I wonder what.

He pretended to be desperate and asked for it, but his voice was also turned. Heheh. I'm surprisingly weak with anger.

‘Anything you can find out. Related records, power of use, personality, appearance.... ’

Because I want to hear it! Why do you look like you're talking about God? Why, 'cause he wants to ditch you like Gehenna? I'm really not praying.

‘That's not the point... And what's wrong with what he looks like? And so is Gehenna, and so are you. I think Tanatos is pretty, too. ’

- What, what?

As he speaks softly, he stutters as he gets angry as fire. Maybe ‘Hwa Hwa' too. ’I think it was valid.

"Sensitive of what? It's just a feeling. ’

Shut up. And Tanatos, do you think he's as elegant and noble as I am?

I almost burst out of laughter for a moment, but I could hardly bear it.

- Not at all. By your standards, no personality theft. This disaster is nothing compared to a natural disaster.

‘I think you're just saying it too badly. But as God... ’

- God is a god. I'm the one who treats you like this because I'm nice, you see, Gehenna? Do you remember how she handled humans the first time she saw them?

So Tanatos is worse than that? ’

- No more nagging.

"Wow."

When I deliberately put in the Chuimbird, Hwasin snorted and nagged.

- Oh, what the fuck. Anyway, I know what you're expecting, but wake up. This is my sincere advice.

‘No, well... ’

- Tsk, I don't know who the color is. … and what? So are you. It's not funny. You've never seen my body.

‘There's nothing to say if you say so. ’

Don't ever say that again. Human themes, you know.

‘Yes, I understand. ’

I felt brighter than usual because of the words of a sharpened flower. But now that we have some information, we can settle for today.

However, I have no idea what to do with Tanatos, as is the concern of peace. There's no reason to go through all this trouble in the first place, and there's no need to take any risks. However...

- Hmm, hmm.

At that moment, an awkward cough echoes through my mind, just as I was about to be reminisced.

- Suddenly it's quiet to say something. Shame on you.

‘Cause I think you hate it. ’

- Okay, okay. Uh, what do you think?

"What?"

- Yeah, you said it'd be pretty. Uh, how do you think she'll look?

‘ ……. ’

I tried desperately to pull my jaw up and down, and I stared at the night sky over the terrace.

If there is one thing I have gained from going through this round of work, it is the difference between feeling. I have to say, it's a little strange. Even though I said it so firmly, Ansol was trying to open the crate, or even when Tanatos suddenly thought of it, not all of a sudden. It's not just a joke...

Especially not to mention Ansol's good fortune, but my good fortune is not at all low. But wouldn't it be nice to construe it as some kind of sign that you continue to care about something strange?

Yeah, you can tell him to lean. Some say a soldier who loses a war can be forgiven, but one who neglects his boundaries cannot be forgiven. I don't think the Devil will back off like this.

... Let's keep that in mind for now. At least not surprisingly enough when you're actually confronted.

- Do you like big breasts? Hey, Soo-hyun Kim. Are you listening?

"Huh?

- You... You like big breasts.

No?

-... isn't it?

‘I'd be happy for you. Whatever it looks like.'

Soo-hyun Kim Memorial Notes

… just when I smiled and said that, I thought I said something pretty good myself.

But the thought disappeared after about five seconds.

If only I knew that the rush of fire, beyond the Mercenary Castle, would lead to massive fireworks to light up the whole city….

Never, never would have said that.
