SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

“Now you have to think a little bit more! ”

The witch said.

She kept hitting my forearm with a bunch of rolled-up newspapers. Boom, boom! I was so excited that I couldn't control myself.

“Stereotype?”

“Yes. You're in all five guilds now. But it's practically unaffiliated. As long as things go well, it's good to start a new guild on your own. ”

The witch smiles joyfully.

“If you're a ranking 3rd hunter, you should have the title of 'Guild Master'. Even if you join five guilds simultaneously, you're only a regular guild member. ”

I didn't really feel it.

“Guild Master.”

I can't believe I'm the guild leader. It was not only unrealistic, but also unimaginable. Do we need to hire Hunter in the first place?

I have an army of skeletons.

“Not really.”

The witch shrugs, noticing that I don't look good. Beyond her shoulders, the sword gazes quietly this way.

“Maybe you're just like that old man. Solo playing might suit you. There are surprisingly many people who are desperate to break everything with doggodai. If you don't mind, I won't encourage you. ”

“Huh. Are you bluffing? ”

“By the way... ”

The witch turns her head, ignoring the sword.

“What are those? ”

Across the trail from Acacia Forest.

Soldiers on the continent are building something on a small plains. A barracks. Instead of giving up on attacking the Angler's Paradise, they will rest today and regroup.

“Ah."

I patted his chin.

“Those soldiers are children from all over the continent. ”

“Across the continent? ”

"Let me tell you... ”

My explanation followed. Of course, I couldn't talk about the anglers. I only told him how I deceived the continent's forces.

The Witch and Sword spoke together, but the longer the explanation continued, the more bizarre their expressions became. A witch's words spoke for both of them.

“Four Kings…. You have a knack for lying. ”

“Well. I didn't bleed out and cleared it. ”

“No, I'm not blaming you. Rather, you did a great job. ”

The witch's eyes narrow.

It was the eyes of the merchant who came up with a wicked plan.

“From now on, we can even trade here on the continent. I don't need to be grilled by old people from all over the world. Bastards! Always hitting the price with food. I'll see what I can do. ”

Vengeance flows through my voice.

“Basically, the trade in the tower and the outside world is unfair. ”

The swordsman said.

“Capital, resources, technology. Whatever it is, the outside world is richer than the tower. Of course, there are elixirs and ingredients in the tower that can't be obtained from the outside world... ”

“Food! It's always about food! ”

The witch kicked the ground with her feet.

When I first saw him, I thought he was blunt. Maybe it's because the three of us broke through 12th and 19th floors together? Emotional expressions were very colorful in front of us.

That's how close we are.

“The Black Dragons. You're going to start trading with the people of this continent, anyway?" ”

“Yes? Of course. The outside world needs a taste of bitterness. ”

“Of course.”

I smiled.

Then he pointed to the camp on the plains.

“I think we need to talk to them now. If you just say," Let's trade, "it won't work, will it? because to the continents, we are foreigners, and to us, the continents are otherworlds. ”

“That's right."

“I'll lend you my name. ”

I told you.

“I am an ex to the Emperor and an apostle of the goddess in this world. If you dress up your horse the way a goddess sent you as an apostle, at least it will be useful to start trading. ”

"......."

The witch's eyes narrow.

“Thank you for your offer. That's a valid offer, but it's not like I'm going to lend you your name for free... What do you want? ”

“Twentieth floor.”

“What?"

I looked around.

Acacia Forest Road. Small plains. Home of Estelle.

This little world was all there was on the 20th floor.

“I want the 20th floor. ”

For a moment, the witch lost her horse.

“... Wait. 20th floor. Are you telling me you want the whole 20th floor? ”

“Yes. Actually, I want all the land on the 20th floor to be mine. ”

“That's …. ”

“Instead, I'll get nothing for attacking the 11th and 19th floors. Share the profits from trading with the continent with other Hunters.” The witch's lips shut again.

It was a radical offer.

Usually when hunters attack a stage, participants share their accomplishments. Ownership of the item. Furthermore, ownership of the resource. However, about half of the rights are to be shared by all hunters.

No one has ever had an entire floor.

“This... is not something I can handle as an arbitrator. ”

The witch gives you an embarrassing look.

“We should call the other guild leaders to discuss it. ”

“Well, I don't have anything to do for the next 24 hours, but I'll wait. ”

“... do you really want to have a stage here? ”

The witch flinches around.

“Pretending this land isn't worth much. The Acacia Flower Path... is pretty, though. Not enough land for farming. The stage is also cramped. ”

“Hmm."

“In my experience, the Four Kings. At this point, it is much more profitable to just distribute the accomplishments that have been cleared from the 11th to 20th floors. You're going to make a lot of money. ”

I laughed.

“I prefer real estate to money. Land is the best.”

“Cole?”

The witch sighs.

I'll gather the guild masters.Let's talk on the first floor. ”

“Sure."

“Yes. You should show your face to people sometime anyway. By the way..."

The witch slowly turned her gaze.

“I've been wanting to ask you something. ”

“Yes."

“... What is that? ”

I saw the direction the witch was pointing.

“H-stop this in the morning...! I want you to stop! This is such a difficult request, damn it! I have a grudge against me, I've done nothing wrong...! ”

The top dancer showed off his skills there.

The dancer's sweat and tears poured down and drenched the path of the Acacia Forest.

It's beautiful.

“Black Dragon Juice.”

I smiled brightly.

“I didn't see anything. ”

"Huh?"

“I didn't see anything. You get it.”

"......."

The witch has a strange look on her face.

It was the face of a biologist who faced a lifetime of mystery.

“Yes, there are people in the world. I understand, but the witch muttered.

“I knew you were crazy too.... ”

It was also a minority opinion.

2.

I left the anglers and saltines on the 20th floor, and sent them to the first floor with the hunters.

“Do you mind if I do the last coffee shop? ”

“Yes, I don't care where you go. ”

It's been a long time since I've been back to the first floor. Babylon.

When people saw me, I might have come back in five days, but I didn't.

Hundreds of days, really. He returned to the city after many years.

"Ha."

“What's the matter? ”

“No, I feel like I'm on stage. ”

The witch smiles bloody.

“Well, maybe you should listen a little bit more. ”

“Yes?”

“I told you, people only talk about you in the tower right now. Prepare yourself. ”

It was not necessary to ask, "What are you prepared for?"

“Huh?"

“Is that...? ”

Soon after stepping on the first floor transport stone, the surrounding area began to rumble.

Roadside passers-by. People who set up stalls on the side of the road and shop. The hunters are preparing to leave for the hunting grounds, one by one.

“Witches and swords. ”

“Then that person... ”

“The Four Kings!”

Someone shouted, that was the point.

“The Four Kings are here! ”

A customer turns to look carefully at the second-hand weapon on the stand. A man and woman stood up at an outdoor cafe enjoying coffee. A merchant selling rare flowers, a hunter who was chatting with his colleagues, dozens, hundreds, all looking this way.

Suddenly, a crowd swarms in.

“Wow, wow."

“There's a rumor that you cleared the 20th floor by yourself! ”

“Look here! Wait, over here! ”

Speechless.

I didn't even have time to deal with anything. Just a blink of an eye and people surround our group. It wasn't over there. When I blinked twice, the siege was thick.

“Er... ”

“Don't say anything. ”

The witch whispered in a loud voice that only I could hear.

“You haven't dealt with the press yet, have you? ”

“Yes, well. Of course.”

“Mysticism"? Popular star? ”

“Yes?”

“Concepts. Do you want it to be a mystical concept or a popular star concept? ”

While the witch whispered, the crowd tripled. The group's pace seems to have slowed about 30 times. Bang, bang, bang! Every step of the way, the camera on my phone rang loudly.

Oh, my god.

I was so distracted!

“Once a concept is set, it's hard to change. Answer me now.”

“Well, I understand the concept of mysticism, but what's a popular star? ”

“It's like a movie star. ”

The witch said.

“We'll have to sell a new SNS account first. Leave a secretary for image management and a secretary for the press. You should hire someone to take care of your looks and fashion. Oh, don't worry about the money. I'll tell it to you from the Black Dragon.”

I lost my mind.

The sword was frowning next to us.

He mutters.

“I travel alone because I don't want to do that shit. ”

I heard the right words.

“With the concept of mysticism... ”

“Are you okay? People are different when they're cared for. It's no wonder he's so much better-looking than he is now.He 'll see some new ways to treat other humans.

In the case of the Inquisitor, it's a magazine model and a personal portrait. ”

I knew that, too.

Before returning 4,000 days, it was the virtue of collecting such magazines and photographs. I was a regular model of the magazine cover for the Black Witch right in front of me.

“No, mysticism! Please remain mystical. ”

But if it was me, it would be different.

“Why? Don't you want to take a picture? ”

Did I get shot in the head?

“I'm ashamed to die! ”

“Everyone's ashamed at first. No, the Inquisitor didn't know shame at first... except for him. Four Kings. In fact, it's much more embarrassing for you to shout at the edge of the Aikim Empire... ”

“Mysticism or I leave the top five guilds. ”

I said it with all my heart.

The witch smiles small.

“Yes. Of course. That's what it looks like. ”

“What should we do about the concept of mysticism? ”

“It's simple. Make a good face. ”

For the first time since I was born, I took advice such as "make a good expressionless face."

“SNS activities are strictly forbidden. No Magazines and Broadcasting. If a private broadcast streamer or media company asks for an interview, it's okay to do it twice a year. I'll only send you journalists that I've already verified. ”

Mmm-hmm.

“... is that all? ”

“You have no idea how hard this is. ”

The witch howls.

“Attention is drugs. The most addictive drug. ”

The Sword succeeds her.

“It's also the most thoroughly destructive drug. ”

“Yes, even if only 10 humans pay attention to you, he'll feel happy. But when you get up here, tens of millions of people will respond with just a few words. There are very few people who can resist this kind of drug. ”

More crowds are coming.

It seemed like the entire population of the city was gathered here.

“It's all in vain. ”

That's what the sword said.

“Yes, but it's a pleasant waste. ”

That's what the witch said.

“Perhaps it's the work of someone who's become famous for enjoying this kind of drugs. Until I get tired of drugs. Or hang in there a little longer, until you get pissed off by your fellow narcos. What about the Four Kings? ”

I looked around.

The veil of phosphorus.

There were no loopholes. The camera flash kept on blowing, so I had to open my eyes. The procession of the flash was a mirage, and the veil of phosphorus looked almost like a shadow.

“... but no one's hunger for others like me. ”

I opened my mouth.

“What I want is recognition. And I don't know… but I think it's a little different to getting attention and recognition. ”

I thought of a salt.

The absolute one who took all the attention of the tower before returning 4,000 times.

“I don't care about millions of people. Attention is just enough to let people around you go. Whether it's hundreds of thousands or millions, what I want from people around the world is not attention, but recognition. ”

“Yes."

The witch smiles.

“I don't think you two can be very separate. If that's your answer, I'd appreciate it. ”

“Yes."

“I'm glad you're like that. ”

That's something I've heard before.

“So how do I make a good expressionless face? ”

“I'll tell you the secret. ”

There was a crowd everywhere.

The pace of our party gradually slows to about ten centimeters per second.

“I have a really bad memory. ”

“Bad memory? ”

“Yes. In my case, my father died in civil war when he was out in the world. ”

The witch said without a doubt.

“I was seven. He's on the run with his parents, but I think they were chasing him. My father stayed behind. That's when my dad yelled," Don't look back, just go. "By the way..."

The witch walks ahead through the crowd.

“I really ran without looking back. I heard gunshots, but I didn't look back. I kept running.”

Bang, bang, bang!

The flash of the camera did not stop.

“It's when I was a kid. ”

“It's when I was a kid. ”

The witch mutters.

“I don't hate running away. He was a child, but why didn't he look back? That should have been easy. Let's just watch. ”

"........"

“I think of that moment when I have to make an expressionless face. I remember my heart beating so fast, my expression was very good. It's my own little magic. ”

The witch looked at me.

"Do you have one or two of those memories?"

There is.

Dark Com Alley.

I remembered when my whole body was on fire because my head was caught by salt salts.

“I see.”

I could tell without looking in the mirror.

I'm making a perfect face right now.

“Can you look at this for a second? ”

“Tell me something! ”

“Black Dragon Juice, I can always hear the official announcement.... ”

“What's your relationship like! ”

“Swordsman! What do you think of the Four Kings?" ”

When I looked around again, I was familiar with the camera flash, so I could see around it well. I had never been surrounded by so many crowds. This was the first time I was baptized into the Flash.

But...

“Effective straightforward. ”

I was not as busy or busy as before.

I just calm down as usual.

The witch raises her mouth slightly.

“You're a fast learner. You'll get used to it soon enough.”

Obviously, the world changed in five days.

But it didn't change me enough to be different.
