SSS-Class Suicide Hunter
54. (2) >
“Ha.”
The witch sighs as if worried.
“Don't go too far. I can cover up all the mistakes. But if it's really just out there, I can't control the press. ”
“There's no one more docile than me. You know, I'm a prophet, okay? I know roughly what the most peculiar answer is. ”
“· · · Can I really trust you? ”
“Aye, of course. ”
I got the mike from the witch. Even at the last moment of handing Mike over, the witch seemed to be worried about me, but she was fine. I have my spleen.
“Ahh. Ahh. ”
I stroked my voice lightly. My voice spread through the square through the skiers.
“Hello, everyone. A hunter named the Four Kings. Nice to meet you.”
Bang, bang, bang!
The light makes an enormous wave. I wasn't that embarrassed. Was yesterday's surrounding experience a sort of vaccination? I got the Flash baptized more relaxed than I thought.
“Your name is Reporter John Evans? ”
“Yes, that's right. ”
The young journalist looked straight at me. The journalist's burning eyes. My eyes brightened as if I was going to reveal myself.
It was quite a burden.
"Hmm."
Now that I have that look in my eyes.
There was only one thought that came into my mind.
“I think they're all voices of concern that I lack. ”
Whereas teachers.
Let's not be salty!
“Yes?”
The reporter blinks, holding the microphone. Probably didn't expect me to react this way. Meanwhile, I thought of the smudge of salt in my head.
“Again, I think it's all a voice of concern that I lack. ”
My spleen was very simple.
"You can always say the opposite of salt! ’
Do I have any great interview skills?
I was different from the witch. He had no talent for capturing a crowd with speeches. No talent, no skill, no experience.
But only one thing.
I knew knowledge that no one else knew.
Interviews with the world's craziest hunters!
‘As long as it's the opposite of salting, I can't hit it hard. ’
I have virtued the salt for almost a decade. Thanks to you, my mind was like a library. The Library of Eternal Conduct and Obsession.
What if I'm not the one holding the microphone, but the goat?
I would have said,
It was all because I was good enough to target up to 20 floors. Little ones. "
I went through a lot of trouble to get rid of the bones, what? Whatever. Whatever items you get there, whatever experience you get, it's mine. Hello, giraffe. If I don't have it, then, sir, who do you want it for? Huh? "
"Yes, Father?
I'm not making this up right now.
It was like that!
‘So before the press conference, the witch's face turned blue · ·. ’
It's called the Abbey case.
Naturally, the press conference exploded in a spectacular fashion. The sound of blasphemy went on live television, and by the time the witch rushed out of the meeting, it was already too late.
What a disaster.
The live broadcast was quickly interrupted, but the tragedy was not over.
Since the prolific actor set fire to the journalists, the parental abuse, the sexual abuse, the bigotry, and the curse that exists in the world were all shared by private broadcast streamers.
‘I don't need a nickname. ’
Rumor has it that a witch has been in bed for a week since that day.
Maybe because of the Abbey case, the witch will be educated by a hunter to play the hand. Maybe this is why the Giant Guilds split up from the elite.
‘In the past, saltiness has been the cause of this press conference. ’
That is.
All I have to do is say the opposite to the plague. ’
How to turn the worst upside down for the best!
I held on to the microphone as I thought of the best-selling web.
It was all because I was good enough to target up to 20 floors. Little ones. "
“I know the public opinion is hot about me. But it's overestimation, and without the help of the Black Dragonlord and the Swordsman here, I would never have been able to get to the 20th floor alone. ”
I went through a lot of trouble to get rid of the bones, what? What to Do. "
“Of course, I'm proud to have tried my best. He targeted zero victims, and he did his best to cut the bones. But I don't think this is my sacrifice. What to do as a human being. I think it's my job as a hunter. Above all... I did it because I liked it. ”
Items obtained there or experience there are of course mine. Hello, giraffe. If I don't have it, then, sir, who do you want it for? Huh? "
“So I don't intend to claim my rights. That's why I've entrusted all of my rights to you, guild masters, from the tenth floor to the 19th floor. I said," Isn't it exclusive to the 20th floor? "No, the 20th floor is sort of a [Greenbelt] area, and the residents of the tower that used to live there will live there. I'm just going to be satisfied with my supervisory role. ”
"Yes, Father?
“Reporter Evans. That's it."
"· · · · · ·."
“Have more questions? ”
The young man who was burning with journalism stuttered.
“Uh · · No. ”
Okay. Okay.
I rolled my head faster here.
If it was a salt, what would they say if they heard the reporter?
"Come, if you have nothing to say, get lost, American pig.
This is what I imagined.
In addition to that, you'll see the crumbs of your middle finger.
‘Let's see. Recite the opposite of this · ·. ’
I opened my mouth.
“Thank you. Ah. If you have any more questions, I'll be with you in a moment. ”
There was a moment of silence in the square.
It was really only a moment of silence.
“Here! It's a newspaper! ”
“Answer the question, my king! I see the tower!”
“I'm from the Barbell Tower Broadcasting System! ”
“My Lord!”
Journalists raised their arms as one. As soon as I sensed that I was a well-spoken opponent, I ran like hell to make news.
It looks like baby ducks waving their beaks hard at the mommy bird.
‘Wow.'
I was amazed at the press corps.
‘... Whereas the teacher's strategy has been changed? ’
You're the worst psychopath in the world.
He was always my compass in a bad way.
The compass still clearly showed me how to react.
"What?" A newspaper? I'm not interviewing you guys. There's nothing but old people there. Spreading the newspaper smelled like an old man. Hey, if you're a journalist, go wash up.
I said, reminiscing about the abstract of salt.
“---Then start with the newspaper reporter. ”
The effects were amazing.
The meeting put a stop to the storm. Literally a huge success. I had an immediate answer for more than an hour, but I never made a common mistake.
In fact, it was not even easy to close the meeting. Journalists rushed to get at least one more line of articles. Eventually, the witch took my mic and had to silence the press corps.
“Gentlemen, I understand the need to know a little bit more about our new hero. Unfortunately, we don't have much time left.” The witch points her finger up at the sky.
[00: 05: 27]
The clock of light suddenly approached 0: 0: 0.
Only 5 minutes left to unlock a new stage!
There was no more appropriate excuse to end the press conference.
“We will rest for the night and resume our pursuit of the tower today. Please look out for us with your deep attention and warm support. Again, we will race to the goal of Victim Zero, with our best efforts. ”
“Ahh... ”
There was a lack of elasticity everywhere.
When I thought the meeting was over, one of the heroes raised his arms.
“Huh, Black Dragon Juice! One last question, please! ”
“Yes, I'm really going to finish this meeting with just this one question. ”
“The Black Dragonlord and the Four Kings! Who are you two!? ”
At that moment, people's eyes flashed.
Pure interest. A little naughty.
Since the resemblance, the most curious human being has been about love. Maybe the journalists want to tie me to the witch.
“Hmmm · · · ·. ”
The witch turned her back on me.
Do I have to say I feel like a liar?
The witch's eyes darken with playfulness.
“The relationship between us · · · That's right. ”
The witch slowly opened her lips.
Then came the remarks that would make a great prestige.
“-A friendship more than a friend. ”
Chug chug chug.
Journalists rumble. Should I concentrate on saying it's more than just a friend? Should I concentrate on the words "comrade"? Either way, I couldn't catch my breath.
The person who asked the question opened their eyes wide.
“Tsi, you mean more than friends? ”
“I don't know.”
The witch relaxed.
“Again, more than just friends. That's it. I don't want there to be any misunderstandings. ”
“If you're delusional and misunderstood... ”
“I'm going to end today's press conference at the Black Dragon. ”
The witch stands up.
“Thank you again for your interest and support. The leader of the Black Dragon Guild, the Black Witch. I wish you all a very good day. ”
The journalists stood up.
“Huh, Lord Black Dragon! You can't leave like this! ”
“Please tell us more about what you just said! ”
“Black Dragon Juice!”
“Your Highness, what do you think of your remarks?! Lord Shifu!”
Wow.
The reporters vomited and gathered. However, the witch was relaxed all the time. He smiled as he led me backstage.
“Let's go. ”
“Huh."
I took a quick look at the press corps. Everyone was making tears.
“· · How can you just leave like this? ”
“I'm a drama girl. ”
The witch closes her left eye.
A playful wink.
“You have to light it at the end to make a deep impression. ”
It was a word that overlooked the views of the guild leader who reigned in the tower.

backstage.
We walked to a place where the human attention disappeared. It wasn't until there that the witch said, "Phew!” I breathed out loud, and then I grabbed my hands.
“Excellent! God-king! ”
The witch's eyes gleam.
He really seemed to be the same person who kept his face buried throughout the press conference.
“When did you learn how to interview again? Wonderful!”
“Huh · · ·. ”
I just did the opposite of salting.
“Humility was especially positive! People love heroes, but there's more to it than that. The hero who bows his head to you! Of course, humility shouldn't have gone past you, but · · you were perfect. Oh, my God, perfect balance. ”
I was just reciting the opposite of what the salt was saying.
“I didn't know you had such a knack for media. Ahh. What has this kid been up to? He just showed up! I'll target the tower, I'll make a good image, my shoulders feel 10 times lighter · ·! ”
"· · · · · ·."
What is it?
Seeing me so happy, I was a little pricked.
I can't tell you they're just imitating a psychopath the other way around.
“If you want something, just ask. Fame? Power or love? Don't worry. I'll give you anything you have in the tower. ”
“I'm okay with just taking what I want. Black Dragon Joo, what was the last thing you said to me that was less than a comrade? You scared the shit out of me. ”
“Oh, that? ”
The witch shrugs.
It doesn't look like much.
“It's nothing. I sprayed some smoke on purpose. ”
“Smoke?”
“Yes. The press will dig up rumors that don't exist anyway. That's how damaged your image is. Instead, you and I should put some smoke on it so we can concentrate our eyes. ”
“Really · · ·? ”
I've never dealt with the press, so I don't know if this is right or wrong.
The witch laughs in a daze.
“Don't worry. I've been dealing with public opinion on my own for years. Trust me on this. Professionals only. Do you understand?”
“Oh, yes. ”
It's strange.
I don't know what it is, but it feels weird. Yes. I feel like I'm being targeted by an unknown monster at the Hunting Ground. But this was the first floor city of Babylon, not the hunting ground. There could be monsters everywhere.
Is it the mood?
- Tsu tsu tsu.
The messenger kicks his tongue.
- You're pathetic, zombie. Since you have a head but no brain, why should I not call you a zombie? I don't even know if the bastard named Nomahu is going to buy it on his feet. Aigoo.
What are you talking about? ’
Pathetic!
I slammed my chest as if I was the one behind it. The beast-looking man tapped his chest and became a gorilla without fail.
It was around that time.
"Waaaahhhh!"
Across the stage, a high shout erupted from the direction of the square. It was a bit different from the cheerfulness that was sent towards us.
“Ten!"
“Phra!"
"Arm!"
Countdown immediately.
I stopped talking to the witch and looked up at the sky.
[00: 00: 05]
Time has come just before the 21st floor stage opens.
“Three!”
“Yi!”
“Work!”
And...
[00: 00 00]
It scattered to the numbered beam of light in the sky. The cheers of the people became even louder. The sheep, the flashes of light, gathered again to form a goddess, willing to repay the cheer.
[Warriors.]
Blue Sky.
The image of the goddess opened her lips.
[Climbing the Tower.]
[Congratulations on breaking through the shadow of the Demon King Han.]
It was the moment of the new stage.
People had already seen the image of the goddess once, and they were chattering with joy.
But I've also experienced towers in the past.
- It's a zombie.
"Yes."
I nodded.
"It's okay, I'm not careless. ’
Like the tower that was the tutorial up to the 10th floor was different from the 11th floor.
There's another stage on the 21st floor that's completely different from the 20th floor.
[You could have stayed on the first floor of the tower forever.]
In fact, the image of the goddess was calmly reported.
[This is a refuge for fugitives.]
[Instead of giving up the challenge, you could have chosen to have a drink.]
[But you chose it by breaking through the 10th and 20th floors.]
Your voice echoes in the sky.
[I will see the end of this tower.]
[If so, answering your will is correct.]
Uahhhhhh!
White surrounds us without warning. It wasn't just me and the witch. Disgusting sounds came from the direction of the square.
“What, what!? ”
“I didn't say anything. ”
This is the biggest difference from last time.
No one had said "transmissions" yet, but the white light swallowed us up.
The witch looks down at her feet in a bewildered look.
“· · · No way, forced transfer? ”
The guess was right.
[Climbing the Tower.]
[You who have decided to climb the tower.]
[Willing to take a new name and become warriors of the tower.]
The goddess put her hands on her chest.
Like praying for someone.
[From now on, only the chosen warriors will carry a noble burden.]
At that moment, the white light completely enveloped us.
