SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

4.

- Hey, nice library.

In ancient times, there was a creature named "The Memory Pool." Humans cannot pronounce this existence correctly. The 'Memorable Pond’ was merely a self-assembling name.

Real pronunciation. As humans did not consider being called crickets, they did not feel the need to be called people. If this pronunciation is as harmonious as possible, it will be closer to 'Hamustra’.

- It's got a good vibe, great ledger.

Hamustra.

Humans called the "Memory Pool."

- I'm happy to admit it.

Humans in front of me were different.

- Of all the libraries I've been to, this place is the best.

This human was free to use the term. It was already strange enough. The 'Memory Pool’ was originally a curious person. The probability of sending a little kindness and a little curiosity to that beauty was enough.

Not one person has stepped foot in this library so far, except for the fact that this human was the first visitor.

- Who are you?

There were so many smells in front of the human eye. It was strange. I could smell the dragon, but it wasn't a dragon. Even though God's spirit was seen, it was also not God.

The 'Memorable Lake’ had never seen anything human before.

- How did you get here?

I was naturally alert to the tone.

- I never let you in or out. This is my world. State your purpose, stranger.

- I'm not a book thief.

Humans are swarming.

- It's kind of an insurance company. I'm persuading every single one of you.

- I asked for your purpose.

- I'm building a house. No, should I call it a vacation home? If you're a landlord, now you're trying to convince me to let you in.

Humans flourished again.

-.......

‘Memory Pool’ was annoying. For thousands of years, I felt ‘annoyed’ in probably more than twice as many years. He loved the characters in the book as an evil actor and a role actor, and showed equal affection for the unlucky and the wealthy, but in reality the story changes a lot.

The 'Memory Pool’ was a great being. It depends on the definition of greatness, but it depends on whether the "pond" can kill the truly annoying things by interpreting it.

- You're annoying.

Today, the ‘pond’ also decided to become great. He exerted his power lightly.

The power of the pond in the library is absolute. Even the outlaws who claimed to have reached transcendence, not only ordinary humans, were torn to pieces and turned to dust. The pond was confident. Before it was as great as it is now, a long, long time ago, we made a lot of dust.

- Oh, sorry.

Not the human in front of me.

It was fine.

- The sign just set the mood. Can we talk some more, though? I've had a hard time getting here. Phew, the roads are blocked and things are bad...

The ‘pond’ was shocked by the fact that its greatness had no effect.

It was a great shock.

Because it was so shocking, the 'pond’ fled from reality. What just happened was that the attack was powerless. Void. It had to be dealt with as it had never been. The ‘pond’ attacked humans after completing its self-justification.

- Speaking of which, Is there no door to this library? Is this a library or a graveyard? Stay clear of the windows. I'm suffocating.

The human was still intact.

- Do you want me to punch it for you?

Even humans punctured the walls of the library. With a big smile.

- Oh, that's a little ventilated.

The ‘pond’ became dazed.

- Crazy?

It was the first insult I had spit out in thousands of years by doubling it.

This library is not just a space. It is the body and soul of the pond. Therefore, being able to pierce the walls of the library means that you can place knife bread on your own belly. The pond was capable enough to analogize it, and smart enough not to like being stabbed.

I surrender. What do you want from me?

- I want everything from you...

- I'd rather kill you!

- Oh, is that so? Can I kill him?

-.......

The pond was quite clever. At least he had the intelligence to realize that the human in front of him was an idiot.

- You don't want to die, do you? Yes, life is precious. I want to help you, too, little one. Please sign here to protect your precious life.

It was unfortunate for the ‘pond’ that the maniac had unimaginable power.

- What is this...?

- It's a contract.

- May I ask what the contract is...?

- Yeah, of course. I'm not some thug.

Though not a gangster, it was something very similar to a gangster, he did not point out. In other words, the ‘pond’ was smart. I thought I could tell the difference between what I had to say and what I shouldn't have.

- The sign is building a tower.

Top.

- I will summon beings like you. I will allow you to stand in the way of those so-called beauty.

The 'pond’ carefully read the contract. The more I read, the more my face changed.

At first, I thought the Human in front of me was a thug who came to rob the library. I was beaten to a pulp. Crazy hit, too.

He wasn't a robber.

Contracts were full of seductive offers.

- You want me to see the whole world? Are you sure about that?

- The whole world is overrated. Only a world where a predisposition can interfere.

- …… these clauses.

- You have to protect it.

I didn't have much to worry about.

Instead, I became more curious.

- Why are you in this business?

I wondered.

What's in it for you?

- No one is born because they want to be.

Humans smiled.

- Everyone has to live one more life. You can't live what you want, but you can live what you want.

The ‘pond’ could not easily understand the human smile.

- Someday you'll live again. Mr. Gallery Chief.

That, too.

"......."

The Librarian looked up at me in a daze.

I don't think he understands. I get it, but isn't his head spinning? Either way. I waited without rushing the librarian.

“Let's climb the tower with you, Knee. ”

After a while, the librarian murmurs.

“Bo, this is no ordinary constellation. Unlike the Ghost possessed by you or the Sword enslaved to you, it is the constellation responsible for the stage. It's quite a sight... I can't believe you belong to a specific tower. That, then. ”

“So, what happens? ”

“…… I don't know. I have no idea. It's unprecedented in the history of the Tower. ”

The librarian shakes his shoulder.

“There have been cases where a constellation bewitched a warrior and killed an acolyte. Quite a bit. There have been cases of warriors gathering constellations, as you devoured Fall Rain Demon King as a reincarnation. But... But I've never heard of a constellation turning into a Hunter..."

“It could be recorded as the first case. ”

"......."

“Hamustra, don't live in a place like this. ”

I looked around.

The tomb of books.

Traces of the world have passed. That's it. Time doesn't flow here, and only stories from other people's breaths and other worlds are sealed.

‘Familiar.’

A place where you admire or envy the world of others.

‘This place is familiar to me. Here.’

It reminded me of the trail I lived in before I came back.

There were only a handful of photos and interviews in my room.

Compared to the Great Library, it's a different size to be sorry for.

‘The essence will be the same. ’

So I can say.

“Now climb directly onto the ring. ”

You need to get out of here.

“People keep getting weirder just staying in places like this. ”

“How strange...."

“In the book of revelations, there is a man's life. When you read it, you feel like you know people, but you don't. Hamustra. Do you know what it says about the end of the world? ”

The book of Revelation describes the death of the teacher as follows:

It is written, "Suddenly the gangrene turned and the thousand horses died."

“What is that? ”

"......."

“It doesn't make any sense. Say nothing.”

We can never know what the teacher looked like at the end, what the churchmen cried out in, how hard the children on the river dug up soft clay, and only read it in the book of revelations.

I don't know

“He, however! ”

The librarian objected.

“I can see the script. You can watch. You can drink! ”

“Yes."

I simply admitted it.

“You can go into the world and see for yourself. When my teacher died, you must have felt as sad as I did. I don't doubt that. ”

“Huh, what a problem...! ”

“But you couldn't be sadder than me. ”

"......."

“You must have swallowed your breath when the Master held his last feast. When a sword struck you in half, you felt awe, too. But what you felt. It's all about emotion. ”

Cough.

I grabbed the librarian's hand and pulled him a little closer.

“You must love Raviel, too. You're gonna love it, but you know it. You will never love her as much as I love him. ”

"......."

“You're just tasting it. Sitting in the world of this library. Never put his life on the stage, just being an audience. Clap your hands or yawn when your favorite show unfolds. That's it.”

“The script is……."

“Live with us. ”

The librarian flinches.

“The script is, uh... tied to a strict contract. If you belong to any tower or break any such regulations. I'm sure they'll impose sanctions on you from the Tower. Probably lose all the power of the constellation... The script is useless. It's of no use to you. ”

“That's not the story. ”

"......."

“You know that. ”

"......."

“Hamustra.”

I looked directly at the person in front of me.

“It was your dream one day to die to Killian. Now give up that dream. I'll give you a new dream. The dream won't always be pleasant, but it will often be a nightmare. There are times when you want to erase it. But if you want me to. I'll be there if you want me to. ”

I told you.

“Live your life with me. ”

"......."

“Let's get you in my story, and I'll get you in yours, and you can call us us us ourselves. ”

The librarian's lips trembled. I put my left hand, more trembling than that, into my chest. In his hand was a book older than Epic LeFanta Aikim.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

The title could not be read.

A language we can't read.

The library chief, Hamustra, slowly handed over the book of his life.

“Four Kings……."

“Yes."

“I will give you my final advice as a reader. The script is your greatest admirer. No reader loves you more than the script, and never will be. So you must listen carefully. ”

“I'll listen.”

“If you leave that plunging, the listener might misunderstand. Please only tease the Duke of Ivanca. If you don't, Duke Ivansia will pierce your heart to death someday... ”

“I've been there before. Well, I'll keep that in mind. ”

“Four Kings……."

“Yes."

“Is it fun to be human? ”

The librarian was afraid.

I smiled.

“That sucks. ”

I grabbed it.

“But chewing is good. I break my teeth sometimes, but I can help. ”

“Damn……."

The librarian wept.

“This is the last line in the book of revelations...."

The librarian grabbed the spine, and I grabbed the cover.

“It's not easy to make life look like a work of art. Take care of it.”

We opened the Book of Revelations.

The Librarian said in a voice mixed with fear and tears.

“Four Kings, Head of the Gallery. Identify at least two persons as characters in [■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■]. The difficulty of this revelation is determined. When the soldiers open their eyes, there is a compliment...."

“When we open our eyes, it'll just be like this. ”

“…… Yes. ”

The librarian looked up at me.

At that moment.

"In this chapter, I declare the stage cleared. ”

Paaaahhhh!

The white light surrounds us.
