Owner:

"......."

I saw the other one.

I could tell that the Inquisitor didn't use the word "owner" as a simple parable or symbol, just by looking at his smiling face. Sometimes the boy and sometimes the young man did not know to joke.

But I couldn't help but ask.

“Just in case. Inquisitor, if you want to serve me as your master... ”

“I will obey your orders. ”

The Inquisitor responded immediately.

“I'll kill your enemies for you. Save your enemies! As I said, I will judge your judgment and tailor my actions to your actions. ”

The Inquisitor raises his right hand to his chest. In a respectful posture, imitating a butler.

“I'm a great tool! ”

"......."

“The advantage of a good tool is that [performance remains constant]. I'm not proud of it, but there's no better tool than me to purge, confine, and keep the group together! Warrior. You can always trust my performance! ”

Tell me something else.

Inquisitor Ethan says:

I will never change.

“Write me! ”

The Inquisitor smiles widely.

He was convinced of his immortality, and I was heartbroken for some reason.

I'm a bit of a prankster once I get the feeling!

Because I know how the Inquisitor has changed.

I'm addicted to feeling emotions.

Do you always live in this feeling?

Just me.

I alone remember a side that even the Inquisitor couldn't have experienced.

Beneath the tree, the Inquisitor mutters.

If only I had done so at that time. If only I had done this. Are they drifting around, wandering around, still living like that?

"That's why you must be so beautiful and so lovely.

"If I am like you…….

The Inquisitor did not forget all the words at that time.

At the end of the sentence he swallowed down his throat, I can guess.

[If only I could feel the same way you do. Could she have lived a different life?]

You can tell by the age at which you've met many psychopaths.

The boundary between psychopathic and non-psychopathic lines leads to three pieces of slang.

‘If I were like you. ’

From the moment you put that word in your mouth.

For me, the Inquisitor was not just a psycho, but a man who somehow lived his life.

“…… Name. ”

I opened my mouth.

“Yes?”

“Your name. Your real name, not your real name. The swordsman's name is Marcus Calenberry, and the viper's name is Rio Pan. ”

And the Earl's real name is Nisha. There was a time when a paladin called the Earl by his real name. But I pretended I didn't know her name because the Earl never told me.

A colleague who still gave me his real name is Sword and Serpent. Just the two of us.

“Inquisitor Ethan. I want to know your name. ”

“Aha.”

Inquisitor blinks.

“Is that an order? ”

“If it's a favor and not an order, can you tell me your name? ”

“Yes!”

“Why?”

“I, no. We made a promise to Black Dragon Juice a long time ago. [We've abandoned the outside world. Foreigners who have poured out their nationality, their wealth, their fate and everything into the Dead Sea. So let's also erase the name tag that the outside world gave us. When we call each other, only the names we get from the tower are put in our mouths.]"

Indeed.

‘That's what you promised. ’

I realized that I'm not the first year member of the tower.

“The Black Dragons have complex emotions about the outside world! They hate, they despise, they crave recognition from the outside world. Ahahaha! You must be the most emotional of us all! ”

The Inquisitor blinks his left eye.

“Anyway, the sword has left our organization. No need to get involved in promises! And the viper is also a person who wasn't very involved in such promises in the first place. But I take my promises seriously. Four Kings. If you really want to know the name I had in the outside world.... ”

The Inquisitor narrows his eyes.

“Please give me an order. ”

"......."

“I'll follow.”

to know.

This is not the question of whether or not to say the name of silk.

It means that I will prioritize the [command] I gave over the [promise] we shared in the first year.

I pledge allegiance to you.

‘… can I take responsibility? ’

I thought about it.

‘Can I give this person a different life? Will I be responsible for the psychopath, for the psychopath? There's will. There's greed. But do I have that kind of power? ’

I quietly looked down at the Inquisitor.

Without saying anything, the Inquisitor waited for my mouth to open.

There was an opportunity to open the Inquisitor of heresy in '[Story of the Sormwyn Institute]. But I failed. I missed my chance. With all my strength to help Raviel, Michaels couldn't even take care of this child. ’

If only I had one more chance.

At that time, I thought, could I make another life for the Inquisitor?

‘I can. ’

I gave an answer.

‘I want to do it. ’

I nodded.

“Yes."

A second chance hasn't come yet.

Until then, let's take charge of the child in front of us for a while.

“Tell me your name. ”

The Inquisitor smiled brightly.

“My real name is Bambolina. ”

A smile flows under your golden hair.

“Technically, it's hard to say her real name. It's a nickname!”

Nickname.

“I grew up in the hands of the Mafia as a child. The mafia used to call me" Baby Puppet, "and it hardened like a name. Ah, bamboolina means doll! It was also called KyKna. ”

Inquisitor Ethan also said clearly.

“The group that locked me up had a headquarters in Bulgaria. It was a very multi-faceted tentacle stretch. I was trained to be used in that organization's business. ”

“There was, and I did use the past because...."

“It doesn't exist on the ground right now! ”

The Inquisitor grins and pulls the lock out of his chest. Phew. Phew. The lock hovers over the Inquisitor's left hand, as if the pen were rolling.

“I was incarcerated for 11 years. I was trained like before, and then I was lying in bed, and I suddenly wondered, [I can open the locks that depend on that visit. Is there a reason not to open it?] ”

Clutch.

A lock opens from the Inquisitor's hand with an iron screech.

“On second thought, no! ”

So I escaped.

“There seemed to be no reason not to kill my dedicated monitor. There was no reason not to kill the boss! ”

There are those who do not do it without a reason, and there are those who must do it, and the Inquisitor was the latter.

“There was a disagreement between two executives and four executives. The site has been manipulated to raise suspicion. Half a year later, I started to wonder if it was me, Aha. By then, the organization was already half destroyed! ”

The mafia's baby doll was a mouthful.

The tower has gained a beast that is terribly competent.

“... Why would you take me as your master? ”

“The first reason, of course, is because the Four Kings are more competent than me. ”

The Inquisitor slowly lowers his words.

“The second reason…… was because I hesitated. ”

“Are you hesitating?”

“Hmmm. Well, what can I say to make sense of that? ”

Rarely, the Inquisitor narrows his gaze as if it were quite difficult.

“Ever since I cleared [Story of the Sormwyn Academy], I've been... somewhat odd. We tried to kill terrorists as usual, but we couldn't do it as quickly as we used to. The other person could only see the difference of one second, but that one second was strange to me…. ”

The Inquisitor has a hard time thinking.

“For that one second, I thought of the landscape I spent at the Sormwyn School with the king. ”

"......."

“Isn't that strange?"

No, I don't.

Not at all strange

Rather, I am surprised in my mind.

‘I see you've made an impact. ’

The route that the Inquisitor completely immersed himself in the gold medallion disappeared. But even with my new foot, the Inquisitor must have felt a little bit of gold digging.

Even if the immersion rate is less than 10%.

No, even if it's only 1%.

The little doll must have experienced ‘emotion’.

“Four Kings. You hesitate. ”

Inquisitor Ethan said:

“You've taken over a second of my life. That was the first time I'd ever done that. Maybe you, in my life, will become one minute and one second later, one hour! ”

The Inquisitor smiles brightly.

“I can see that now. Maybe this is what we call hope for humans. A person may always be waiting for someone else to take their time. In that sense, you are my hope! ”

“Just because you take my time, I won't get any smaller. Yeah, I don't know where. You can be sure. ”

The Inquisitor handed me the key.

The old lock rusts.

“Your rhythm will only add to the tune of me. My short-line rate. I can only imagine a metaphor for my monotonous murmur. ”

I've handed over the lock.

“Because of you, I might become music. Four kings. Even humans like me. ”

The Inquisitor smiles.

“May I make you my hope? ”

"......."

It's heavy.

That's a terrible thing to say.

The difference between being heavy and being scared was that you might be afraid of carrying a heretic interrogator.

I thought of the weight of an angler. I thought about the weight of the Christians and the weight of Sylvia Abinile. I thought about the weight of lethal nature. I've come to think of the weight of the designated tribe, and to that end, I thought I could add a burden to it.

“Yes."

The Inquisitor is my colleague.

“I will be your hope. ”

It doesn't matter if the Inquisitor is an animal.

Humans are originally animals who admire people.

Even the child in front of me is on the way to a person.

“Without my permission,

I gave the order.

“Don't kill anyone. ”

“Yes!”

“Don't torture people without my permission. ”

“Yes."

“Without my permission, please don't imprison anyone. ”

“I understand!”

“Tell me when you have concerns. Instead, I will listen to your story and not despise it. I won't even look at you with those weird eyes. I'll think of something for you, Bamboolina. Please take me as someone like you. ”

"......."

The Inquisitor put his hands together in his chest.

I felt him [praying] for the first time.

“Yes, you are more capable than I am. When you are my hope, I will try for you. ”

Sequence # 4. Mannequin.

The little doll swore allegiance to me.

“I'm off this stage. I can't go to the 32nd floor together. This time, too, I asked [Wonder Girl] to make a temporary arrangement. This will all be over soon. I will heed the king's orders in Babylon! ”

“Yes."

I stroked the Inquisitor's head.

“Stay calm and guard the house. Monsieur Chieftain. ”

“Ah-ha-ha."

The Inquisitor smiles.

“I have my orders! Confucius!”

The Inquisitor's new brotherhood has melted.

[Inquisitor failed to complete the quest.]

[Inquisitor Escapes Stage!]

And the next moment, other colleagues appeared around me.

Sword. Black Dragon Wine. Earl, Serpent. Paladin.

Six, including me, stared at each other puzzledly.

“…… I've been waiting for something to clear up this time, right? ”

Black Dragon Juju said.

“Four Kings. You made the announcement first. Where have you been all this time? ”

I smiled.

“No, I said goodbye to the Inquisitor. ”

Our paths are never meaningless.

Although unseen, someone is being influenced by us somewhere.

I squeezed the lock and said,

"Well done, everyone. Let's move to the next stage."
