“Was that a wrong question? ”

After a long period of silence, Tanatos tilts his head.

“No, it's not a wrong question. I just have to say... it's hard to say. ”

Ian shakes his hand and looks around. He glanced at me for help, but he said, 'Take care of it.’ is only looking away. Eventually, he sighs and carefully reveals the truth.

“That's... In fact, why we're here, we don't really know. ”

“You don't know?”

“Yes. One day, I woke up to this world.... I mean, I was forced to be summoned. Technically, we're victims, too. ”

“Forcibly summoned? ”

Thanatos' head is even more crooked as he joins a rare horse. With an increasing voice, I feel like I don't understand what that means. The more Ian says, "We are not your enemies. ’Tanattos raises his hand, raising his eyebrows.

“Wait. You mean you were summoned without knowing the exact reason, and you live in this world with no purpose?" ”

“Well, yeah. No, of course not. ”

“I don't understand. Are there many humans in your position? ”

“Eh…. Well, I don't know the exact number, but I don't think there will be tens of thousands of them... ”

“Ha.”

“ ……. ”

With little agreement from Ian, Tanatos sighs a short sigh as if he were overwhelmed. Then, even the Knights of the Round Table couldn't hide their gruesome faces. I accepted the situation implicitly in my life as a user, but I felt forced to reveal my teeth. But what's even more disturbing is that I can't think of anything that would contradict the pinch of Tanatos.

“I've been asleep for a long time.... I don't know, something really crazy happened. Who is it?”

“Yes?”

“If you were forced to come here, there must be a summoned entity." ”

“Oh, yeah. Yes, there is. An angel..."

“A thousand or four? ”

“Yes, yes. It's kind of a helper role. So with a pair of white wings on your back... ”

Ian, who ridiculously expressed himself with both hands, suddenly closed his mouth when he saw Tanatos.

“… Aha. ”

Soon, a slight elasticity followed from Tanatos' mouth. At the same time, the Knights of the Round Table sat still and swallowed their breath for a moment.

As soon as the word angel appears, Tanatos' reaction suddenly shifts. Of course, it was a change in the level of emotion that was still thought to be human, so that the eyes were wide open or the voice was slightly elevated.

However, on the one hand, it looked like he had realized something deep, and I was curious when I looked at him with one side of my heart.

“Is it still going on...? ”

“If you're an angel... Since it was before, this time it's the same... ”

Tanatos constantly mutters to himself with his arms closed. However, because it was so quiet, I could hear the voice flowing in the ears of everyone without raising my hearing. The Knights of the Round Table look at Tanatos with a slightly stupid-looking face.

It was then.

Tanatos, with his head blown off,

“Too bad.”

I glanced around the table slowly, giving off a sad look in my eyes.

“I don't know the details, but history repeats itself. It looks like the Humans still haven't gotten away from being angels' vanguard. ”

“That's not true. ”

Melinus sweeps off his white beard, then suddenly turns to protest.

“I thought you said Tanatos... As the Crystal of Truth admits, I know you're a god. But this is all we found. I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't think that's appropriate. ”

“What's wrong? ”

“Stay ahead of it. Obviously, I don't know why I've been called into this world, but rather, we are not possessed and moved by angels. Because this moment is moving on its own. So, I guess the partnership was right. ”

“... which is why I'm sorry. ”

Melinus' words were a description that everyone could nod. However, Tanatos denies the opponent's hesitation.

“They don't know what's at the end of the road. And eventually, it's just deception and exploitation. But humans don't realize that. just like in the past. ”

As soon as I said that, suddenly, the crystal of truth splashed into ashes, spraying a clear light. Melinus opens her mouth as if to say something, then remains silent. Tanatos grimaces slowly.

“It's because I've heard so amazing.... Or is it because it's been too long? I feel dizzy.”

Then quietly pull yourself up and push the chair into place.

“May I rest for the day? ”

With such subtle words, Tanatos soon started walking up the stairs.

The atmosphere that seemed to explode immediately disappeared. The knife sack, which was holding it like it was broken, was loosened and its tip touched the ground.

Thus, Eldora, of course, the knights of the Round Table, slowly gazed upon the distant Tanatos without hesitation.

*

“Phew.”

When Eldora came back to the room, she immediately opened the door and fell on her bed, sighing. My body spreads on the bed like a damp cotton ball. I just talked about it, but my whole body feels very tired.

Eldora closes her eyes, asking herself, "I don't know why you're doing this." And I slowly recalled my previous encounter.

Once you have one less worry, it's okay to say. No. I'm not sure yet, but a woman named Tanatos doesn't seem more dangerous than I thought. Rather, he appeared polite and humane enough to think that God was a lie.

… but…

Eldora chews her mouth a little.

‘That's weird.'

Disgusting. Confusing. I've confirmed the identity of the woman, but something doesn't bother me. Even when I try to clear my head, I keep seeing the sad look on my head.

"Why?"

It was a simple question, but it didn't make any sense. I never really thought about it. It was a matter that I had forgotten up to an hour ago. Or perhaps the expression of resignation and acceptance from a moment of familiarity is correct.

‘Wait, so you're saying you were summoned without knowing the exact reason, and you live in this world with no purpose? ’

If you think about it, of course, but when you were summoned suddenly, everyone once had similar questions.

However, no matter how many times I ask it, no matter how many times I mess around and glow, nothing changes. Rather, they forcibly take a cruel survival test called a rite of passage, and then enter a new world called Hall Plain after a simple setup.

and similar first words everywhere that you hear from existing users as soon as you enter.

‘We, who are standing here today, were once human beings on Earth. ’

‘The only difference between us and you is in order. ’

‘Did I enter the world called Hall Plain first, or did I enter the world second? ’

‘That means we are not the ones who can send you home. ’

Whoever it is, human beings are environmentally adaptable animals. Maybe he started to realize it slowly when he heard it. No matter what you do, reality doesn't change. The moment you give up, the moment you lose, and the moment you lose, the only thing you have to do is die.

In the end, there is only one path left. People who have little to no need for life are confronted, given up, and conformed to reality. From then on, we begin our activities as users, not as people.

In this regard, Eldorado is the same. She was an ordinary girl on Earth, but was reborn as a follower after being summoned to Hall Plain. No, not only for Eldora, but for all the Knights of the Round Table.

As such, no one was able to answer this fundamental question. It's not enough to hit your back with a hammer, but it doesn't change the fact that you don't have anything to say.

Sweet.

Suddenly, you hear the door open quietly, while your face is buried in the bed sheet. Soon, I turned around and saw a little color on Eldora's face.

“Melinus!”

“Hehe. Do you mind if this old man excuses me?" ”

Melinus was the one who opened the door. Eldora rests her upper half. It's because Melinus was shaking her hand as if she were fine.

“It looks complicated. Clan Road.”

It was like he said.

“Just…. I suddenly felt like I heard a big story. My head is numb for some reason. ”

Eldora's smiling face is more relaxed than it was just now.

“I see. Can I talk to you for a second? ”

She sits at the end of the bed and gazes at Melinus, smiling softly, with a trustworthy eye. Even though my head is so complicated that I can't catch it.... Nevertheless, Eldora firmly believed in the ‘Prophet’ Melinus who had always sought a reasonable answer whenever trouble had occurred. As always.

Meanwhile, the same time.

Tanatos, Eldora, Melinus. Where these three have left, twelve round tables of knights are still seated at the table. Everyone was whispering with a serious face, and even a strange energy was flowing.

“We…. Fooled you?”

“Don't you think it's too early to make such an arrangement? Actually, I don't even know what you're talking about. ”

“That's embarrassing. I was just wondering if it was some kind of joke. ”

“Either way, it doesn't make me feel bad.... Ian, what do you think? ”

When Natalie suddenly asked, Ian suddenly regained his senses.

“Yes? Well, I don't know. ”

Lift your glasses with your hands pinned like a habit.

… so, no one saw it. Ian's eyes glazed at the hidden staircase and his mouth smiled.

‘I can't believe I'm going to shake it like this in the first meeting.... At this rate, the day will be here soon. ’

Today, Tanatos performed well in his role. I unleashed my luck on the identity of the angel and sowed the seed of disbelief while informing myself that it was God.

Mixing lies in the truth. It is immutable that angels are using man as their proxy. I mean, all you have to do is tell the truth. Then you don't know the past, or history, or how to put the rest together.

Melinus would have approached Eldora by now. Then the remaining round table knights....

Ian slowly lowers his hand, considering all this. His face had already returned to Ian's face.

After a while, Ian opens his mouth quietly.

“Here's what I think. ”

Hmm... I see.

It's coming to an end, but you might want to do a new illustration.

I once told you that I would draw the main character before I finished.

Then I have to go to Kim Soo-hyun + a, but my partner is worried.

Bears come to think of it, Gehenna, Ko Yeon Ju, Im Hannah, Hwa Hwa, and Han So-young (in the new version.).

If you ask me why these five people, you know, * -_- *

Oh, and of course, there's never been a sympathy.

Anyway, if you have any other great partners, please don't hesitate to ask.

Soon, we'll be finalizing the comments and voting for the top four or five.

Best regards_(__)_
