SSS-Class Suicide Hunter
151Pm.
The library lit up quickly.
The light was like a white current. I moved alive. Light poured out constantly from Hamustra's book of revelations. A wave of light swept through our surroundings and spilled through the bookshelves.
The light was overwhelming.
[Stage cleared.]
In the book of revelation, I did not stop turning off the light. * gasp * Hrrrgh! Light quickly burst into the water and sank the bookshelves of the Great Library, the bookstores as tall as the buildings. In the last thousand years, even the forbidden heart was illuminated, which had never been illuminated.
White flood.
White, pond.
[Today.]
We were standing in the middle of a flood of light that immersed the world.
[The stage on the 30th floor has been cleared.]
You hear Hunters screaming from afar.
“Gaaaaaah!”
“What, what?! ”
I wonder if he was embarrassed by the sudden flood of light. Fortunately, there were trusted colleagues in the library. There were many. Surprised hunters, even those who dared to overpower them.
Though it was hidden from the bookshelf, I couldn't see its face.
I understood their voices one by one.
“Oh my! I'm dying! My eyes are so black these days, I can't even see a minus! Oops, oops. Hey! When a child sees an old man, make some medicine for yourself and give him a gift! ”
Drug King.
“Ugh. Ha, but the drugs have to be distributed to those who need them first. I'm sorry, but you don't need the Medicine King very much... Why don't you get some new glasses...? ”
Pharmacist.
“Ah, this one's called Stage Clear. It's just light. You've never experienced anything like it. I've seen it a few times. Mystery is... getting used to being ordinary. Don't mess with me.”
“Oooh! Master! ”
“I believed you, damn it...! ”
The viper and his stooges.
“Huh? La? Was the 30th floor cleared by itself? Ahh. I'm glad I saved you some time. Guild members belonging to the Pantheon should prepare to transfer power! As soon as we get back to Babylon, we'll be in the middle of the chase! ”
Inquisitor.
“I'm afraid not. I've never experienced the work of librarians. ”
“I know what I'm licking. Mr. Kim, let me help you. ”
“… please. ”
Killer and Prelate.
Not only that, but the voice of the Black Dragon Master, the Earl, and the paladin. Sometimes far, sometimes quite close. A man's voice flows from beyond the stands of the heavy cassettes.
Yes, I heard people chattering and squawking in the library. It's like the arrow of light sucks out sound.
The little librarian trembles beside me.
[Remind everyone again.]
[Today, the stage on the 30th floor is cleared…….]
Cheerful -
Noise mixes with the tower's voice.
The librarian, who was still shaking, shrugged his shoulders.
[Warning!]
[Abnormal attack detected.]
[‘Head of the Gallery' will be warned.]
"Ugh."
The librarian caught my sleeve.
“It doesn't matter. The stage on the 30th floor is set. The text guarantees this as the manager in charge of the stages from the 21st floor to the 30th floor. Accept stage clearance as a constellation for ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ …. ”
[I'm warning you again.]
[When a stage is declared complete, the 'Head of the Gallery’ will be given a huge penalty.]
[Nevertheless, make sure you complete the stage.]
The crumpling of my sleeve became a little stronger.
"......."
The librarian shrugged his shoulder. Normally, the librarian wore a falling shirt and looked bigger than the actual one. Not now. It was small. In this world, the library owner occupies very little.
Leaning against me, the librarian looked up at me.
“... It doesn't matter. ”
It was a word to the tower, and it was also a word to me.
“The script is,”
Hamustra said.
“I will live in this tower. Please... I need you to acknowledge the fallout from the table. Lord of all life. ”
Static.
[Remind everyone again.]
The noise clears from the tower's voice.
[Stage on the 30th floor is cleared today.]
A cheer erupts. The library is still swarming with light, but Hunters have also heard the declaration of stage clearance. Hunters rejoice at the thought of their success at last.
There was a voice that only Hamustra and I heard.
[The Head of the Gallery is no longer authorized.]
[Begin Rank Adjustment.]
It's a phrase I've heard before.
It was the same thing I heard when the Angler lost the guilt of the Fall Rain Demon King.
[Deprive the Librarian of Tinnitus.]
The angler screams at that moment. ‘No!’ He was appalled that he was losing his position at the constellation. He even tried to avoid the Tachon ().
Hamustra's reaction was different now.
I closed my eyes quietly.
[Remind me again.]
[Deprive the Librarian of Tinnitus.]
[Deprive the Librarian of the Corner.]
The book of visions in Hamustra and I. Maybe we should say "melted." Thump, thump. The bookcase turned into a soft slime, and the papers fell into individual candlesticks.
[Good luck to you.]
And the book of revelations became light and disappeared.
"......."
For a while.
Hamustra doesn't say anything. I just breathed quietly and calmly. As the small upper body repeats its ascent and descent, Hamustra, who was filled with fear, slowly calmed down.
“Aha... ”
Hamustara jumps from her seat.
“Look at this, the Four Kings. ”
The long sleeves of your clothes flutter. Clothes are too long to fall off the floor. Every time Hamustara made a pole, pole and pole jump, her sleeves were lifted slightly above her and she fell to the ground on the road.
“I can't fly, I can't. ”
Hamustra smiles at me.
“I can't fly anymore. I used to love looking down at the world from above. Sometimes I used to just stare at the horizon for decades. My hobbies are gone... ”
“Yes."
“A lot of things are gone. ”
“Yes."
“I fulfilled my dream. I fulfilled my dream of appearing in the story.I 'm glad, but I'm not happy. I'm scared. I'm scared. The script loves you. I love you.I 'm afraid you'll like the script. I want to be loved by everyone.... ”
“Hamustra.”
I put my hand on Hamustra's shoulder.
“Wake up because that's impossible. ”
"......."
“Let's go step by step. Lost hobbies start with a new hobby. What do you say? Do you want to do something humble at the constellation? ”
“Actually, I have two wishes. ”
“Tell me. I'll listen to you if you can. ”
“First of all, don't pay respect to the script...."
That's a wish I can grant.
“Okay, I will. What's the rest of your wish? ”
“The second wish in this chapter is a bit expensive.... It's such a luxury, my king, that if you hear it, you'll be in great danger.... ”
“I don't know.”
Hamustra wiped his eyes with his sleeve. A snickering sound leaks out. A long time later, when the sleeves went down, Hamustra's face smiled.
“White Mocha Frappuccino Benti Quadrashot Half a Chocolate I'd like to try……."
It was a huge luxury.
Fortunately, it was a wish I could grant.
6.
I have something to tell you later.
“Of course. That's why your wife died."
Raviel, in uniform, drinks a cider.
There you go.
You know how miraculous the collaboration has just been done in one sentence.
Look. [In uniform] Raviel drinks the cider.
Even the epic poet of the creation and destruction of the universe can't keep up with the dignity of this one sentence now. I will tell you this now with the same emotion that I witnessed the creation of heaven and earth with my own two eyes…….
“Confucius, your body is trembling. ”
“Float, I'm not shaking. ”
“Is that so?"
Raviel bows his head in my arms like a princess. By the way, I've been holding this pose for more than three hours now. No Error. No Skills. Stay pure strength and posture.
“I feel like I'm shaking no matter how much I look at it. ”
Raviel raises his mouth.
“Ah. Am I heavy? ”
“It's not heavy. Raviel's body is as light as a feather! ”
“Which feather? A dinosaur feather? A bird feather? ”
“Raviel is lighter than the feather of a hatched chick in a fresh egg! ”
“Well, that's a relief. I almost got thrown out of my love's arms for being sorry. As you say you have no problem, I will continue to enjoy your excellent ride. ”
Raviel lips the can of cider. A drop of transparent cider was buried on Raviel's lips. Oh, I hate that drop of cider. Evaporate. Evaporate quickly and go back to nature's arms...
This is 29th floor. It's the world of ascending cities.
As Hamustra predicted, [Equatorial] has not changed the real history of the outside world. It was not incorporated into the order of the . This city drifted away from the center of the Sinseo Secondary High School, becoming a stage like a remote island.
‘Surprisingly, the inhabitants of this world don't notice anything strange. ’
If a Hunter like us enters the 29th floor, he or she will automatically be enrolled as a middle or high school student. I live my academic life as if I had originally been a student in this world. There are universities, but that's it.
Literally a school town.
In short, the stage is completely useless, except that you can attend school....
“Public education is beautiful. ”
This should help you surprisingly.
“A place where even the lesser of wealth can learn. It's the same institution as my dreams. In the future, we plan to recruit talent from our empire and study here. Indeed, my love is worthy of acknowledging the moon of the Duke of Ivankia. ”
“Oh. You can't learn anything that good...? ”
“It doesn't matter. The purpose of education is to share common sense. The state is an abstract that collapses into a delusion after just one step, so people should always dream the same dream. ”
“The same dream……."
“Well. I've been thinking about how to naturally blend the people of the tower and the Imperium. The people of the empire who have been trained here will soon be joined by two generations. ”
Raviel sometimes talks tough. Awesome.
So why am I holding Raphael for more than three hours?
“Well, the political story is postponed. Now I want to savor your punishment. ”
That's right. I was being punished...
The reason for being punished is clearly written.
“I was really surprised. Confucius, I'm working in the Oval Office, but I don't know when I'll be back 24 hours ago. I paused for a moment, but immediately I realized what was happening. Oh, yeah. Where else did my wife die? ”
Raviel draws out a golden card.
+
[Love of a Regent]
Rank: EX
Effect: For regrets, love is like poison. No matter how hard you struggle, you can't share your time with your loved ones. And then, some regretter remembered, ‘Please protect the memory of my lover.’ The aspiration was achieved by touching the tower.
You share a timeline with your loved one. When a lover turns a day around, you turn a day around. When you go back a day, your lover goes back a day. This is the promise of the ring. This is a marriage of time.
Good luck to you both.
Only trigger when you and your lover love each other.
+
Yes, it is.
If I die because of [the love of one of the regrets], Raviel returns 24 hours before. Raviel also regretted when he was killed once by a natural killer.
Of course, he had no choice but to know that I was dead.
According to the Gold Hawk who works as an acolyte at the Duke of Ivanca, Raviel quietly muttered, "I don't know where the son of a bitch lives, but he touched my wife."
No expression. Just no expression.
It is said that the golden thread felt a cosmic terror that day.
“I'm sorry..."
“No, you don't have to be sorry. ”
Raviel confidently said.
“Haven't you tried hard enough? Didn't you desperately try not to die? And if he's dead, there's nothing I can do. ”
“Well, right? ”
“Ahh. Even if you have just attacked the 29th floor and jumped to the 50th floor too hard, and fought against the strongman on the 50th floor and finally dragged the entire Aggro down, you can't help it. Everything you did was perfectly reasonable. I can't find any utility anywhere. I don't understand.”
“I'm really sorry……."
“Do you truly repent? Did you know I was wrong? ”
Raviel pinches my cheek. Choo-wook. My cheeks just grew like glutinous rice cake.
I was moved.
‘Ah, Raviel's pinching his cheeks. ’
Raviel is in uniform before his eyes. Raviel in uniform is in my arms. Do you really think this is going to work? Maybe it's a prize. Raviel, isn't my goddess praising me for being good to me through bees...?
“I don't think so, this guy.... ”
Raviel was pitiful.
“I can't feel my eyes. Though my eyes were naturally a bit dull. This is bad.”
“I love you, Raviel. ”
“I love you, Duke. ”
Ah, the scent of cider.
Good…….
I'm happy...
- Fuck.
The uninvited crowd chatters behind you.
- Am I supposed to look at this guy every time I see him? You're not? This isn't good, is it? They say love is a hormonal thing, but they both hit hormone levels. What have I ever done to deserve this hell?
[Sparkly points out that you've probably committed a lot of sins in your past life.]
- Hey, Bud...
A boom boom boom is a way to ignore local broadcasts.
Raviel listened to my story and looked around the junior high school. To whom did I die and what past did he hold, lost, and recovered? Following my guidance, Raviel carved each classroom and rooftop into his eyes.
"Hmm."
Raviel nods.
“Well done, Confucius. It was something you could do with your time. ”
She convinced me. I had to taste the hell in my arm and the heaven in my brain for three hours, but I think it's in my interest to figure out which of my arms and brains is more important. Gain.
“Then we'll have to find the tablet of the man who killed you. ”
“Raviel. As I said before, he is probably the ancestor of Raviel.... ”
“It's getting worse. My ancestors would be kind enough to leave work to their children. Where dare they touch the moon of the family? Little Ivan is mine. I will settle according to the law of law. ”
I'm sorry, Killian.
Sorry, Kim Yul.
You're dead now.
“And..."
Raviel smiles. The rooftop of Shinseo Secondary High School. The sunset in the sky shines red on Raviel's mouth.
“I also want to say hello to the one who raised you. ”
"......."
“Will you guide me, Confucius? ”
I nodded.
“Yes."
Then you whisper Raviel in your arms.
“Send.”
The light enveloped us.
The next moment, we were standing in a library on the 30th floor.
In just a few days, the library changed its appearance. First, the entry and exit areas were strictly divided. Ordinary books decorated the bookstore in the entry area, and Hunters sat at tables and relaxed readings.
A peaceful sight.
There were coffee cups or beverage cups on the Hunters' table.
“Ah."
Hamustra, who was wandering around the table, spotted us and quickly approached. Instead of falling clothes, Hamustra was dressed in a neat waitress outfit.
“Welcome, Four Kings. Huh? A silver plated heart came with it. These are rare guests who came to visit us at once! ”
Library cafe.
Hamustra has decided to take a job here. I was not sure if I would go down to the city on the first floor yet, but I decided to slowly interact with Hunters and become familiar with my human life.
“Well, do you have Kim Yul? Let's see Raviel's face... ”
“A face, madam. ”
“…… Raviel asked me to see Kim Yul's face. ”
Hamustra smiles.
“Kim Yul's face is worth coming to see. I see. They're organizing the children's books right now, but I'll get them. ”
We still have a lot to talk about.
Who has taken charge of the new Great Library since Hamustra was demolished. How did the drug lord support the expense of creating a café? So now there's a cafe counter with a drug lord dressed as a bartender hanging coffee, and so on.
We have a lot to talk about.
There's always a chance to talk about it.
“Then I'll show you both to your seats! ”
As I have so far.
The story will continue on a higher stage than it is now.
