SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

3.

The man's head splits open and his eyes glaze over. He looked at me with his eyes expressionless.

“Greetings. I have been flagged by the [Eternal Plain Horse]. His Apostle.”

The man said.

“Nice to meet you. I am the Four Kings.”

“I know. I never would have met you. Never. But [Assistant Writer], [Berserker], and [paparazzo] asked me to. ”

The black-haired man looks around. Deep underground caves. Hunters who heard my request and called the Apostle of Mahjoth stand far away. They teased us with a look of wonder if it was a good thing that they listened to me.

“It's rare for three people to ask for something all at once. I like rare events. ”

“Thank you for accepting my invitation. ”

“You're welcome. ”

The Apostle of Mahos raises his mouth.

“I'm the one who's grateful to you. After this conversation, I will catch you. It's been a long time, and it's been a long time since I've been able to accomplish a quest from Mahos. ”

“So? Why did you want to see me? You're welcome to surrender at any time. ”

I smiled.

“To understand you. ”

4.

“Understand? ”

The little girl frowns. Blonde dumplings hang on either side of your head. In the cold winter, it looked like it was hot just by touching it, but it didn't have to be. The girl had an engine running in her voice like she was angry for 365 days.

She was an apostle of [incarnation of love and lust].

“Yes, I want to know your constellations. ”

“You're funny. It's a joke that people understand people, but you want to understand constellations on a subject? I wouldn't have come to this smelly cave if [Assistant] hadn't asked me to. ”

As you shoot your horse, the Apostle Barbit narrows his eyes. She gestures as if trying to repel the mosquito.

“Oh, come on. Don't talk to me, it's noisy. I'll talk to him myself! ”

Maybe Babbit kept sending messages to the girl. I wonder if he is an apostle who is favored by the constellation. The general congregation was friendly to the constellations beyond imagination.

“Oh really, Mr. Babbit doesn't like a kid like you... ”

“I'm going to tear down the tower. ”

"......."

“But it doesn't mean anything just to bring myself down. Your quests, your constellations, will all come together and hit the steeple. ”

“What are you talking...."

“In order to do that, you first need to understand the constellations' tendencies. ”

I looked directly at the apostle of Babbit. The girl was wearing a cape like a nobleman. He placed a red cloak on a wet limestone, and instead of a cushion, he built his own small territory.

“An apostle like you would be much more free to speak with the constellation. I want to talk to the constellation through you. More vivid than a message, more accurate. Deeper.”

"......."

“What does Babbitt like? Which quests do you prefer? ”

I followed the apostle's car.

The girl's expression flashes across the red tea like wine.

“What is the constellation of Babbit to you? ”

5.

“The believers who serve [the Eternal Plains] are a kind of army. ”

The man said.

“The army?”

“Yes. Ordinary followers are soldiers. An apostle like me is a general. We think only of victory and loot in battle. For us, every battlefield is a dungeon. ”

The man grabs the car. His eyes widen and he lowers his cup of tea. “...... Delicious.” The man blinks, then returns to his expressions, looking at me.

"Well, where were we? Yes. Our quest is to clear the dungeon. If you bring down the Horse Tower and plant a flag, you can see that the quests of the Mahjons will be solved. ”

The man smiles lightly.

“Did you agree to collect and complete multiple constellation quests at once? That's not enough, Four Kings. Your plan is bold and courageous, but not realistic. ”

“Why do you think that is? ”

“Because the constellations are so different from each other. ”

The Apostle of Mahos replied with a confident tone.

“We must destroy the steeple. But like [incarnation of love and lust], Babbit will present a quest completely different from ours. And that quest will never be compatible. ”

"......."

“Meet the Apostle of Babbit. Then you will understand what I have told you. How impossible your plan is. ”

6.

"...... We must attack the elders of the Horse Tower. ”

The apostle of Babbit opened his mouth.

“We, Mr. Babbit, care deeply about human relationships. Clearing 50 floors for us to ignore is not about destroying a pile of tower rocks that are nothing but inanimate. Leader of the Horse Tower. The mother of all spiders. Obtaining the [Human Heart of the Elder] is a clear condition. ”

The girl insisted.

“But that's impossible. ”

“Is there a reason it's impossible? ”

“The elders of the tower have never opened their hearts to anyone. ”

The apostle of Babbit drank tea. “What? Damn, it's good.” She gets angry for no reason and sighs.

“The power of our Barbit is [pink love comedy]. ”

"......."

“Don't look at me like that, because I didn't name it. Beats you. Anyway, making [pink love comedy] makes it easier to have a relationship. I'll give you a test. ”

The girl lowered her cup of tea and put her hands together. I closed my eyes and prayed. A pink glow flows from her hand, wrapped around the floor for a radius of five meters.

No other unusual signs were detected.

“Here.”

But again, the face of the girl who opened her eyes was serious.

“I've finished preparing my mind. Do it.”

“Yes? What are you doing? ”

“I don't know. Do something. Stand up or keep talking. I don't care about anything. If you do something, you'll immediately realize what kind of power this is. ”

“Mmmm... Then.”

I picked up a teapot. The girl's tea cup is empty.

I was just about to pour the kettle for her for a second glass.

“Huh?"

Pinch.

Staff twists. Clearly there's nothing down there, and there's not a boulder that falls on its feet, and for some reason it steps on the ground incorrectly.

I quickly tried to keep the teapot safe. But then, I twisted my foot a second time. My body twisted like an acrobat who failed to climb the rope.

“Huh? Huh? ”

Gaaaah!

I fell over with the teapot.

The place where the apostle of Babbit sat, the place where he fell.

"......."

I stared blankly down at the apostle. The Apostle also looked up at me. Yes, I fell on the apostle's body and fell asleep in a push-up position.

What physics and dynamics are working?

“You see.”

Unlike me, the apostle of Babbit did not seem bewildered at all. I fell over the cup and acted naturally as if I had seen the phenomenon of water flowing.

“No matter where Babbit's powers go, no matter how hard he struggles, people get closer to each other. Whether it's material or psychological. ”

“Ah…. ”

Then I think I've heard of it someday. Perhaps, the Inquisitor showed me once.

He was a constellation that turned the whole world into a love comedy event.

“For example, you fell and cared about the teapot until the very last moment. Thanks to you, I didn't get any hot water. You turned the car upside down instead. ”

Thump, thump.

Tea water flowed from my face. My hair was soaking wet. The drops that flowed down my chin fell, miraculously next to the cheek of the Apostle Babbit.

“Now I know you're a caring man. I didn't even want to know. Okay? I didn't want to get close, but I got physically, mentally, close. ”

“Wow.”

“Yes, it is. Plus, I have a man's face soaked in red tea in front of me. Statistically speaking, men are four times more attractive when wet. ”

Is there such a statistic in the world?

“…… annoying. ”

The Apostle Babbit pushed me away in a nervous rage. She gets up and robs the cloak.

“What do you think? Do you understand our constellations now? He's a romantic. Just.”

"......."

“No, I think it's cute if you're just crazy about romance. Babbitt doesn't just like love. [hatred], [regret], [obsession], [monopoly]. I just like the emotions that people have for someone, the violent emotions. And Mr. Babbit is confident that the leader of the tower is the one to be cleared from this 50th floor. ”

The apostle smiled.

“Can you handle it? ”

It was a laugh.

Rather than ridicule me, he seemed to ridicule himself, rather than himself.

“If a human lives for more than a thousand years, the Four Kings. I can't say I've lived for a thousand years. [Been dead for a thousand years] The Elder of the Tower has been dead for a long time. Can we get something out of him, affection, hatred, obsession, regret? ”

Tingre.

The Apostle took the gold coin out of his arms and placed it on a level lithograph. And he dragged his cloak past me.

“Tea money. Take it. ”

“Please wait a moment. ”

I grabbed the Apostle's cloak.

Cough.

I felt the weight pulling on my finger.

“What?”

“It is possible to draw out [hatred], even if it is impossible to obtain the love of the elders. ”

“... You're mistaken. Babbit's hatred is not just a tool of annoyance. ”

The apostle slapped my hand on the back and dropped it.

“Hate for the weight of love. All my life I've spent hating someone, cursing them, and only feeling hatred for them has become a part of me. You think you can get that hatred out of someone who's lived a thousand years? Do you have someone worth hating for a thousand years? ”

I nodded.

“I don't have it. ”

“Look at that...."

“But we can still pull it out. ”

I looked into the eyes of the Apostle Babbit.

The Apostle's eyes were the same red as his cloak. A person who can't be relieved by the leather and clothing branches of a cloak must have a layer of walls. The eyes were exactly the same, so a double concentric circle sank down in the apostle's red pupil.

“I have the elder of the steed who hates the most in the world. ”

"......."

“I don't know anyone else, but if it's my teacher, I can bring out the elder's feelings. No, I can drive the elders crazy. ”

[‘The Incarnation of Love and Desire’ listens to you.]

“Leave your quests to me. Share it.I can't do it by myself, but I can do it with my teacher's name. ”

There was silence.

The apostle of Babbit slowly opened his lips.

“…… Who are you, a teacher? ”

7.

“Sword."

I told you.

"......."

The face of the Mahjon Apostle, who had been stubborn about his expressions constantly, cracked. He stiffens as he raises his teacup. It was only after the steam that rose from the car was lightened that the black-haired man was able to "ha”, a short rain.

"He died a hundred and fifty years ago. Nonsense. ”

"Hunter on the 99th floor. Legend. Did he really die leaving no trace? Rebirth as another human being. I can be a ghost and talk about nineteen things. I can't, so I leave a performance hoping that one day a successor who will succeed me will appear.... ”

"......."

“There are countless ways. I also have the means to prove that I am the heir to the sword. ”

I smiled.

“Imagine if I were to become the heir of the Sword, it would be possible to provoke the Elder of the Tower. The elders will show their emotions to me in anger without ever before. [Incarnation of Love and Passion] You can solve this quest. ”

“That's not all. I hate how the elders feel about me. It's an endless hate, an abyss. They'll give me a kill order and use all the power in the tower to wage war. If we win that war. ”

“…… is it possible to accomplish the quest given by [Eternal Plain Horse] at the same time? ”

The black-haired man bows his head and thinks.

[‘The Eternal Plains Horse’ listens to you.]

“Please leave me with your quest. ”

I told you.

“I'll show you the proof that I'm the successor to the sword in a few moments. Now, what you have to think about is whether my proposal is realistic or unrealistic. ”

To the eternal plains warrior, to the incarnate of love and lust, to the eyes in the labyrinth, to the lonely Savior, to the masters of the lost faith, to their delegates, and to one person.

“I can tear down the tower. ”

Knit together all the constellations' quests.

I named this operation:

Grand campaign.

[The Eye in the Labyrinth listens to you.]]

[The Lonely Savior listens to you.]

[‘The Last Sword in the Wilderness’ listens to you.]

[The Ringing Bell of the Dead listens to you.]]

I nodded.

“Let the land know that a successor to the sword has returned. ”
