SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

"That cheeky bastard...! ”

Beyond the darkness.

A stranger brushed his teeth.

Unlike before, everything they say has been [translated].

“Calm down, baby. The fragments of the Dark Ages are coming out. ”

But their voices were still opaque. Like a noisy music source, I wanted to get away from my voice, but I suddenly heard it near my ears.

“Anger and jealousy don't help our meetings. ”

“I'll kill you!”

“You said the Four Kings, right? It's been a long time since I've had two meetings about one person. I wonder how long it will be after being lethal. ”

“Furthermore, the relationship between the two of you is getting stronger. Is this a coincidence, too?”

It was then.

“---Not at all.”

The quiet voice stopped. The son-in-law calms down. Only a voice of emotion sinks into the voices of idle talk and talk.

“If immersion was 100%, we could regain the day at the butler's point of view. If you have less than 90 percent immersion, you can go back a day from the point of view of the Four Kings. But it's 99%. ”

I've heard that voice before.

“Ambiguous. Whose side should this be on? ”

Master of the Tower.

I swallowed a saliva.

“I think we should turn the day around from the butler's point of view... ”

“Convince them. ”

“First of all, just look at the numbers. 99 percent immersion means that the butler is 99 percent, and I only have one percent left. The butler's share is overwhelming, so it's only right to think about it from the butler's perspective. ”

“Yes, but the Regent's Leaf Clock is a skill you acquired. Four Kings. This skill belongs to you. Skills can only be used by people with the skill. ”

An invisible gaze was cast over my face, obscured by darkness.

“Shouldn't you be right to return? ”

"......."

“Don't be nervous. I'm just curious. ”

Don't be nervous, the voice spoke kindly. However, it was consideration that could not be achieved. Every time I spoke a single word, it seemed like a long snake was climbing up my neck.

“…… that's an overly one-sided idea. ”

“Hmmm?"

“Think of it as a butler. The butler and I fought the whole time about who would take over the body. I was eaten by the butler, but the butler ate me. ”

That is.

“The butler fought fair and defeated me, and in return, he took away my skills. [Regent's Leaf Clock] is now also a Deacon's skill. ”

“Oh.”

The snake's voice shakes strangely.

I realized later that it was a smile.

“That makes sense. Yes, as if the Four Kings had copied your salt skills. ”

"......."

“I thought if regrets and regrets fought against each other, who would win? I can't believe you're going back to the point where you had skills. And I admired that idea. No, we were all surprised. ”

Sent .

The absolute ruler of the tower calls himself humble. I said something respectful.

It's like being polite to everyone.

That was even more ominous to me.

“That was great. You could have chosen to flee from the snow of the salt. But I didn't. Why?"

Those who were silent to the question of the tower opened their mouths.

“Revenge. He didn't forget what happened to him. That's why he went after the guy who burned himself to the ground. You're still gonna die 4050 times? You son of a bitch.”

[The moon that controls blindness curses you.]

“Justice. The salt has killed more people, more people. You thought you couldn't leave it alone. The idea and emotion that ‘this shouldn't be happening’ moved the four kings. Yeah, he's a righteous man. ”

[Wonderful princess blesses you.]

The snake's voice nods.

“Yes, I will. He would have stabbed himself in the neck with vengeance, and he would have killed himself in justice at some point. But vengeance and justice are common. There is only one place that impresses me. ”

Someone has received the tower owner's words.

“There was only one way to win 100% salting. ”

[The original legislator declares silently.]

“Yes."

The owner of the tower smiles.

“Four Kings. Your heart is as hot as a fly, but your head is cunning. They're always looking for ways to win 100 percent. So I'm looking forward to it. Did you come up with the logic to convince us 100%? ”

Now is the time to battle.

We can't back out here.

“Yes."

“Tell me about it. ”

“I -- we didn't do anything wrong. ”

The snake's voice opens its mouth toward the stretched direction.

“This is an entirely tower mistake and an error. The question is whether to turn the day to [the butler's point of view] or to [my point of view]. If the tower was perfect, this kind of error should not have happened. ”

“Yes, I admit it. So?”

“We are victims of error, please compensate us. ”

"......."

I tried my best to say it.

“And a contributor who discovered an error. You wouldn't even know if it wasn't for us, would you? Reward me.”

Static.

In a minute.

“That's rude.”

[The dancing god in the void stares at you.]

“Look at what those two are talking about. Do you want to be hardened into existence? ”

[The moon that controls blindness is killing you.]

The voices boil.

“Enough.”

But when the snake's voice opened its lips, everyone was silent again.

“Interesting.”

"......."

“What's interesting, yes. What I don't doubt is interesting is that I believe that you will [reward] me properly and [reward] me. Why would I do that? You can wipe your mouth and turn away. ”

“Because…. ”

I said it right.

“Because you've always wished us luck. ”

Top.

Every time the stage is cleared, our hunters hear voices.

You who ascend the tower.

Good luck to you.

It's just that.

But it was definitely ‘cheering’.

“You never mock us as an absolute person. No disrespect. No direction. Hunters who want to stay on the first floor can stay forever. To a hunter going up the higher floors, you wish him luck and just ask him to be careful. ”

A sanctuary for those who want to rest.

Fight well with those in battle.

“That's not all. ”

Children of the House of Hell.

The Red Raindrops of the Demon King.

Lonely Moran in the snow forever.

A heart that repeats itself for ten days without end.

“The people you let into the tower, they're all lonely and sad. Gather only those who will end in tragedy, and you have a tower. ”

I think.

“You will stand. ”

The tower in front of me is an absolute good.

“You would never interfere in our fighting and killing. Because it respects our freedom. However, we will definitely compensate you for any damage caused by tower errors. ”

Because it's not our responsibility, it's the tower's.

“Thank you for setting up the tower. ”

“I wanted to keep that in mind. Last time, it didn't work out that way. I always wanted to thank you.... Without the tower, I'd be living like trash in the outside world anyway. Ah. No, even when I entered the tower, I lived like garbage... ”

I was wrong.

I lived wrong, but I could take back my life.

“If it weren't for you... I wouldn't have made it back more than 4,000 days myself. Never. You said vengeance and justice... but I could barely stand the sight of someone watching over me. That's it.”

I bow my head.

“Thank you.”

I leaned back.

“Truly, thank you. ”

There was a long silence.

“Yes.”

Someone's in trouble.

“I like it, too. ”

[Wonderful princess favors you.]

“Me, too. I don't even remember a human being who came here to express his gratitude for so long. Hey, was there one? Maybe it's the first time. ”

[Ancient Staff favors you.]

“…… Kids are hostile to beings like us for some reason these days. It's because the world is so cruel. I think I need someone to blame. ”

[The dancing god in the void has favored you.]

“Ha. I just don't want to admit I'm taller than you. ”

[The moon that controls blindness is staring at you unwillingly.]

And I heard laughter.

“I see.”

The owner of the tower smiles.

“I'm sure. There's a cute side to it. ”

"......."

“I'm just a mirror. If I look good, it's not just because you're good."

The snake's voice smiles.

“Tell me the reward you want. ”

“We ask that you return 24 hours before the butler's time. ”

“What's your prize? ”

“Lord Silver Lily..."

I felt nervous and my heart was beating.

“Protect the memory of my lover. ”

“Indeed."

The serpent's voice grins.

“Can you ask for amazing skills as a reward? Anyway, I found a glitch in the tower. I'll reward you handsomely. Would you like me to strengthen your [Regent's Reel Clock]? ”

Temptation.

“You can turn back time as you please, not as a day. Or do you want to reinforce [reincarnation]? It allows you to not only inherit memory, but also the ability to live. ”

“I don't need it.”

I got down on my knees.

“Please.”

Respectfully, I lowered my forehead in the direction of my voice.

“I want to live with someone I love. ”

"......."

And...

A hand stroked my crooked head.

Very slowly.

"Four Kings."

[Close the meeting.]

"Good luck to you. ”

[Good luck to you.]

•

[Recalibrate the immersion rate.]

[Your current engagement rate is 99%.]

[Returns to 24 hours ago.]

•

I forgot.

"......."

The first thing I felt when I opened my eyes was the fragrance of spring flowers coming from the window.

My head was numb.

It was like I had a dream for a long time.

“Ah."

I heard a strange, familiar voice nearby.

“Now you're awake. Deacon, I took a long nap. ”

Baron of the golden age.

My master.

“…… Miss? ”

“Yes, your one and only. ”

The gilded lady chuckles. Is my reaction funny? I'm looking this way with my eyes narrowed.

Now, I couldn't find traces of the girl who was famous for the amount of horse light that used to stay in her hometown because she was the child of an infant who had adapted to the capital. I was sorry to hear that. Of course, the exterior is stylish, but the inside is still the same as the old lady.

.......

What is it?

“I came to dinner with His Highness, but the deacon is sitting in a chair sleeping on a call. It was a little awkward for me to leave my master and go to sleep. She has a cute face, so she decided to let you know. ”

“Lady..."

“Oh, you look like you're going to cry. Did you have a nightmare?”

A nightmare? Was he having a nightmare?

Unexplained frustration fills my heart. I feel like I just forgot something very important. The more I think about it, the farther away I can never catch it.

“Your Highness..."

In order to get rid of the senses, I purposely turned my back.

“Did you enjoy your evening with the king? ”

“Yes. Quite well. Listen, Chamberlain. You gave me the Blue Coral Ring today! ”

The gilded lady smiled widely. The blue coral is the name of a gem. It's not a great price to pay, but in the southern part of the Empire, it's often used to propose to a lover.

“It's also a student restaurant in front of all the other infants and spirits! The Crown Prince is a fool, but he still knows how to please people. I wonder what the Duke of Ivan will look like when he hears this news! ”

Suddenly, I choked.

“The Duke of Ivanca..."

“Ah. Does the butler want to know? ”

"......."

What it is.

What it really is.

The vibration of your chest resonates in your throat.

“Raviel......."

The golden girl stared at me with a silly eye.

“Chamberlain? It's still a little... Even if it's just the two of us here, it's rude. Mind your manners. Mind your manners. Sometimes the butler is more ignorant of the manners of the capital than I am. ”

At that moment.

- ■ ■ ■, ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■!

My head buzzed.

[■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■.]

I held onto my forehead in agony.

“Lady... can't you hear something? ”

“Sound?”

The golden girl tilted her head.

“What are you talking about? ”

“I don't know, I don't know. Looks like someone's shouting... ”

“Hey, Chamberlain. At first I thought it was a joke, but now I'm starting to get nervous. Is your head hot? Shall we go to the nursing room?"

“…… No. I'm sorry, I keep saying weird things. ”

I woke up from a chair.

“A little, I think I have a headache. It's not the cold... I'm going out for a bit. Are you all right, miss? ”

“Oh, yeah, I'll do that. ”

The Golden Hawk girl was worried.

“Do you want me to escort you? ”

“No, it's really okay..."

- A ball!

“…… Maybe you'll feel better if you walk a little bit. ”

“Okay, bye. Not too late. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

I left the lady's room and left the dormitory.

The night when the cherry blossoms like the moon.

But even after I came out to the garden, the anxiety in my heart did not subside.

It is a time when I was not yet a regent.

I walked.

The Crown Prince was made with the spirit of the golden thread.

I made a wild bet.

Like a sleepwalking patient in a dream.

I was angry and angry, so I prayed against the sword that spreads to my family.

Let my love last forever.

Then, my life became permanent.

At the end of the pathway, unmanned, inevitably, was the gigantic abode of the Duke of Ivanca. A place that has passed me by but I have never walked by myself.

A place with no ties to me.

"My heart has been fixed since that day.

I don't think so.

"......."

Why are you here?

‘Let's go back.’

Where my master waits.

‘Go back.’

I took a step, thinking like that.

‘We have to go back. ’

However, for some reason, the steps did not turn back. Though I thought I should go back, my steps went forward. My hand has pushed the iron bars on the gate.

Margin-

The door opened lightly.

The duc's guards do not stand.

"......."

It's really strange.

Maybe I'm still trapped in a dream.

If so, everything is described.

I crossed the gate and across the garden for no reason.

Cherry blossom trees blooming in the garden and the cherry blossoms made my heart ache for no reason.

This has never been invited to a Duke's estate, but it's also a natural place to walk through geography for some reason.

“Hello.”

There's a duchess standing at the end of the hall.

I will wait for you.

Even when she looks at me and smiles small.

“I've been waiting. ”

All of them.
