1.

Times were swift.

The chaos was not great, even though the Sanwaites had first ascended to the chairman of the Peace Council. The suspicious ones nod when they hear that [the mountains opened the red dragon's head]. Many of the designees and nobles who were with her testified to Salem's accomplishment.

“This is no longer just a designated country! ”

Black Dragon Juju was excited and said.

I think it's Anastasia's taste to talk about this.

“The country our children will build will be greater than Rome! Do you know how great this is, Confucius? ”

“Anastasia, I'm a middleman. High school dropped out.Flyz is a nice thing to say so I can understand..."

“Oh, yeah. Rome was originally a Roman country. However, when foreigners from other heirs were allowed to enter the center, it was not until Rome became a great empire that encompassed all. ”

Looking at the world, the Black Dragon Juice sits on its cheeks.

“But Rome had its limits.... Do you know what that limit is? ”

I mean, I don't know.

I didn't have to bring it up.

“Religion has become more sacred than necessary! ”

“Isn't it hard to drive out the war economy because there are no more countries to conquer? ”

“Because politics is corrupt and society is corrupt. ”

Not me, the Inquisitor, the Earl, and the Paladin.

A black dragon shark howls and shakes his arm.

“You go away. I'm talking to the Confucian. ”

The three of them retreat with a blurry face.

The Black Dragon Juice clears her throat.

“Well, there were many limitations, but I think it's because the interests of each group were not clearly divided."

“What do you mean? ”

“I see.”

The Black Dragon Master points to the ceremonial stones of the Peace Council.

"While the Goblins are responsible for defense and food production, the fairies manage the capital. The caribbeans are bending the logistics. The mountains control underground resources... This will create a group of factions on a biological level. Unless one faction goes extinct or falls into slavery, no one from a particular faction can hold all their power like an octopus! ”

Your cheeks flush slightly, making sure you drank a lot of it.

I stuttered.

"This, this is important. It can be determined on a biological level. Because we need each other, because we need each other, naturally there is repercussions and concessions... ”

"......."

"This system is powerful and robust. Even the scoundrels are nice. If any species, yes, such as any new species, excels in the field that one of the existing species was in, then that field will naturally become the specialty of that species. But, yeah, but it's a tough system to get to. ”

The Black Dragon Master has given over his hair.

"For example, if a faction fears a challenge against itself, if they're afraid of being pushed out of the field of expertise. So if you decide to oppress the runners, If you take it for granted, rather than stopping the existing factions. If such storms dominate, this system will decay over time. But.”

No faction is extinct.

Ubrica did not allow the Sanwa to go extinct.

When the continent seemed to be united around the designated tribe, there was no racial discrimination in the Rio Council in a timely manner.

Sonia. The child who was born as a fairy and wanted to dance, has dedicated his life to performing Blood onstage.

The discovery of the New World has strengthened the position of the newborns leading the waterway, and the Montma people who were natives of the New World have combined with the transfusions led by Anastasia.

And in the war with the nobles, people felt distant from God.

One at a time.

One at a time.

One life.

He changed the world, and finally, the Sanwa clan became the first chairman of the Hwa Council.

The Peace Council was literally reborn as a council that embraces both fire and water paths.

“Everything, yeah, fits so well. ”

On the screen, there was a grand festival held in remembrance of defeating the Red Dragon.

A crowded fairy exhibited all kinds of circus and bloodlines, and tourists from all over the country laughed at the festival.

“What we have before us, this landscape, It's a giant miracle, like a brawl made out of millions of people's footprints. ”

The Black Dragon Master mutters in a dreamy voice.

I didn't feel bad, so I smiled a little.

“I see. It's a miracle... ”

“Unless this miracle was‘ made ’by someone. ”

I stopped.

Even before the blink of an eye, the voice of the Black Dragonist lets out a dazzling sensation. At the same time, the atmosphere, more precisely, changed the eyes.

“About you. Confucius.”

The Black Dragon Master looked back at me.

Everyone else who received the congratulatory order retreated so much that they could not hear their voices.

Just the two of us, here with the stories, the eyes of a sparkle pointed at me.

“You didn't tell me you had regrets, did you? ”

"......."

“You have regression skills. Gong-ja Kim. Just like you did when you defeated [Fall Beast King]... You got on stage early and died, you found a route that didn't die, and you barely figured out how to make everyone happy...... You didn't bring it all this way, did you? ”

Both hands grabbed my shoulder.

I ran out of beer cans, and the chairs rolled around. I lay on the cold floor, and the Black Dragon Spirit turned me away from it.

“The world wasn't built on your corpses. ”

Ahh.

"......."

Oh, I see.

"Hmm."

I was ashamed that I almost cried for a moment.

It wasn't that my hard work made me cry. Thirdly, it was disposed of in the refrigerator in my mind a long time ago, because the expiration date had already passed.

It's not like that.

‘I knew you were beautiful. ’

Sorry, regret, gratitude, anger in Anastasia's eyes. Things that are not the same. There's so much more to it than meets the eye. It was mixed up as it was.

Although I don't have any reading skills.

[I hate it when my friend dies without me knowing it.]

To the extent that his eyes could understand what it meant, it was beyond comprehension.

Because Anastasia's already been hit by me once.

The battle I thought was over without any damage like a miracle...... that the war in the Aikim Empire was actually flowers blooming with my myriad deaths.

Now you know.

“Sunbae.”

I know.

“We'd like to renew our friendship agreement. ”

I meant what I said.

"Huh?"

“The contract I made last time. Oh, get rid of yourself for a second. When Raviel sees this, he ridicules, saying, ”

“Oh, I can only imagine... I'm sorry. I'm gonna sober up, too. Here's the contract. ”

The Black Dragon Juice raises its fingernails and scratches the air. The air cracked open like a zipper, but the crack was a black abyss.

The Black Dragon Master swipes his hand at the Abyss to pull something out of it.

[Friendship Agreement]

This Agreement is entered into at the request of Anastasia Zelenska (hereinafter, A) by Kim (hereinafter, C).

A does not trust the life expectancy of human emotions, and I am confident that only diligent posture and diligent intelligence will bring their relationship to the rock. Accordingly, A and C make a pledge as follows:

1. All commitments are valid only if both parties agree.

2. All commitments can be discarded if two people agree.

3. However, the fulfillment or disposal of an appointment is only possible on the weekend of that week (Saturday or Sunday).

4. If there is a disagreement between two people, roll the dice to follow the opinion of the person with high eyes.

Name: Anastasia Zelenska

Name: Kim Gong-ja

+

“Yes. This is our contract... Why is this? ”

I focused the error on the fingernail tip very slightly.

“Add an appointment here. ”

Zeke, square.

The error in the detection paper carefully wrote out the writing. No, actually, the error is to burn the surface of the paper very slightly, so [burn the writing] should be correct.

+

5. Just as you can say what you want to say to each other, you can say what you don't want to say, or even lie to each other.

6. However, when asked along with the words [by contract], they can never put up a lie.

7. And the answer that comes back with the word [with the contract], we never doubt.

+

I raised my head.

“What do you think?”

"......."

“Wouldn't it be better for you and I to have a little faith? A little, um, childish, but out at the time of writing the friendship agreement or something. I was thinking of fitting in...."

“On the contract. ”

Before we could finish, Anastasia grabbed my right hand.

And he looked right at me.

“In order to create this world now, have you never died? ”

"......."

A few lines, at most.

A few appointments at best.

There is no strength in letters and promises, so ignoring them and breaking them is too easy.

If they suddenly become difficult to ignore and violate, it's just because the hands and the promises of the person who wrote the letter are unusual.

"......."

A man whose country had been torn apart as a child. When she fled the cracks, she lost her father. I didn't ask her about what happened, and she didn't tell me.

But she abandoned the world once.

Anastasia's deficiency was revealed by wanting to acknowledge the fact that she had abandoned the world. Anastasia felt anxious that she was rebuilding the tower in an abandoned world, and that she could not take her hands off it.

If her heart had a color, her heart would also be charred black.

But nevertheless, she did not stop acting.

Instead of sitting idly and sobbing, instead of hugging her knees and twisting, she always took a step back and did what was in front of her eyes.

Anastasia is a strong person.

“One time, he's dead. ”

I said quietly.

“It takes a lot of talking to talk about it. Who I met, why I died, and what happened as a result……. I'll tell you about them as soon as they're done. ”

“But Anastasia. I can promise you this. ”

I spoke to Anastasia.

“From the 31st floor up to the 37th floor -- while attacking these stages, he never died. ”

“The children I raised, the children you raised, are amazing. Really, I didn't. All these miracles, you said, were possible without me. ”

"Yes."

Suddenly.

The Black Dragon Juice stroked my head.

"Yes."

"......."

“I see.”

Once, twice.

Anastasia's hand was trembling as she stroked my head.

“I,”

He said, "I am."

He was silent for a moment, then said.

“Someday I'll ask you to die." ”

.......

“To the tower. For the world, for the people. ”

It was an easily imaginable landscape.

“Die. Bring the dead back to life. Give me my time back."

The day I revealed I was regretting, Anastasia said.

“Sympathy. Justice as bait, friendship as a trap. I will make such a request of you without hesitation. ”

He wants to use me.

For the sake of my life, my friendship, and more importantly, it is man who can be used as a tool for the tower.

“I mean, you probably don't deserve to say this to me, but... ”

I knew Anastasia was like that, and Anastasia knew she was like that.

Nonetheless.

“But let me talk now. ”

Anastasia smiles.

“Thank goodness.”

The smile was as complex as the tint that made up her heart, but she had one emotion that was not as misleading as her eyes that had just looked at me.

“I'm really glad you didn't get hurt while leading these kids. ”

I nodded my head quietly and accepted the words.

“Yes."

I smiled at him.

“Thank you for your concern, thank you for your concern. ”

At that moment, the tower's voice echoes silently.

[I want to remind you.]

[Enter stage on 38th floor.]

[Again,]

At the same time, we turn our heads to look at the hologram.

[Enter 38th floor stage from now on.]

The factions that live in this world.

To our children, the next trial is coming.
