1.

You can only do it three times.

In my life, let me do whatever I want.

Take everything from me.

I've been up all night, and in retrospect, there's only one option left.

2.

“Are you the Four Kings? That's one hell of a name. It's so big, it's so petty! Remember, I am the one of the Thirteen. The one who broke down the eternal cliff. The master of all the seaside waves, the ninth sea lord, the pirate general, the lunatic...! ”

So new.

“I heard the lunatic defeated the blood navy! Not bad. It sounds like you've broken through 10 floors at once! Surely, surely, surely, surely, you have been a holy presence since the time of the sword! But remember, all the constellations shining in the night sky were once called sacred. Introducing you to this wonderful enlightenment: Ooh! What shall I say, holy mountain witness? Thirteen acres! I'm afraid of the pine cone, the forest keeper, and the dusk...! ”

So new.

“I won't say a word. The longer the tongue, the shorter the string. Fear. Fear. I give you one truth today..."

So new.

“Uh, can't you just let me live? And of course, I was a little bit of a bully. No, I was a bit of a bully... Wait! Wait, stop! No, if you live for more than 300 years, your personality will get twisted! Pleasure is all I've enjoyed, but the only fun I have left is harassment! No, wait. You can't go in there... No, no! The bloodstain is not human! It's true! …… ah. Shit, I forgot to kill it and clean it..."

So new.

“I have no regrets. You know, torturing a living person, it's really fun. ”

So new.

“Are you that good? ”

So new.

“Strong. Four kings. Swordsmanship earned the title of emperor on a Hunter subject. Next, a king. The tower is strange. Hoyeon ( ). Life ( ). Hospices. If your life were inevitable, your name would have been doomed, and this moment, my end, would not be a coincidence. ”

So new.

"...... Damn it. Dammit! I don't do anything wrong......."

So new.

“Holy shit.”

“So you said twelve people should attack together from the beginning.... Why didn't anyone listen to me until I was down to three? Guys, are you retarded? Then I was an idiot... I can't believe my throat was pierced in exchange for my earholes... ”

“Hahahaha! Quaking! Don't think you've won with this! Twice, three times, yes! As long as the will of our brother lasts--"

Truly enduring .

“Phew.”

I stole the sweat off my forehead with my back of my hand.

“It was a long, hard fight...."

[They say it was a series of battles like the sparkling Great Revenge drama!]

“Well, if it was filmed, I would have finished the 102 chapters, but in love and attention, two, three, and eventually four chapters would have remained on the legendary timeline. And all of a sudden, because of a minor incident, he stopped broadcasting and became an even more tragic legend…. ”

[I agree that sparkly is true!]

I watched as if there was no need for the two of us to carry on the self-indulgence.

- Are you guys joking? You just killed 12 hunters, didn't you?

“Oh, come to think of it, why were there only twelve? I should have asked you that before I cut it off, but I forgot. ”

[■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■.]

- I killed one a hundred and fifty years ago.

“Of course. It's been a hundred and fifty years, but it's not enough to replenish people…. ”

Sixty floors suffer from labor.

The hunter who was about to climb the tower felt bitter in the fact that there were only a handful of hunters on the upper floors, and I led the sword.

- Hmm.

The messenger folds his arms.

He didn't see me.

The beholder's eyes were over my shoulder, heading toward the fortress where the Thirteen Rogues roamed. The citadel breathes smoke into it. There was a queer smell of fire here, just a short distance away.

- It's a zombie.

“I know.”

I told you to pretend not to mind.

“Persistent. I've been chasing you again. ”

How long has this been going on?

"Hmm."

I nodded my head.

“About two weeks? ”

- This is stressful. Hey, hey. Can't you just go get him? How long are you going to ignore it?

“I'm just following you. You're not hostile. Just stare at me.I 'm going to leave you alone, unless you're hostile to me."

Yes, it is.

Now I was being stalked. Probably.

Maybe, because I don't really know why anyone follows me for any purpose.

- What if it's an assassin?

The messenger proposed an extreme hypothesis.

- He's not the only one who wants you alive right now.

“If you want to live the day without sending an assassin to me, if you're so determined to hold a grudge, you'll send an assassin to a spider with a grudge, not me. Isn't that right?”

I shrugged and started walking.

“I deliberately dug a hole yesterday and yesterday just in case. When I was homeless, but I never got within a certain distance. ”

- That's weird... Why are they following you?

“I think I like it. ”

- Aha, rotten head.

“At least not the toughest one. Like anyone.”

- Aah!

“Why? What? ”

We walked through the forest, making friendships as usual.

The Unidentified X has kept a constant distance, both approaching and not far from me.

“Ah."

Recognizing its existence in a corner of my head, I suddenly thought.

“I'm thirsty. Don't you have a stream that cools your stomach just by drinking somewhere? This forest is worth it."

It was that moment.

[■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■.]

ZoZola.

As soon as I walked through the forest, the stream was flowing. Two deer-like animals snore and lick their tongues. It meant safe water to drink.

“Oh, Lucky. ”

I approached the stream without much thought. Across the street, the deer say, "What's that ugly animal? ’I coughed with my eyes, but chewed lightly.

It would be nice to have a bucket, but Homo sapiens has hands.

I drank water with both hands.

“Gaaah! I hate it! I think I'll live now. ”

-.......

“Huh? What is it? Looking at me like that. Do you have something to say? ”

- No, it's a little weird.

“What specifically is wrong with you? ”

The messenger narrows his eyes.

Aren't you the luckiest guy in the world?

“Yes?”

You're so lucky?

“What are you talking about? ”

- Look, I'm still thirsty, and suddenly there's a stream. Yesterday. Yesterday. Yesterday.

Is that so?

I'm not sure.

- You mean there's a water source everywhere? On this vast, 60-story floor?

The messenger vomited.

- Even if you want to close your eyes now, there's always a flaming lightning rod around. It doesn't make any sense. I don't know if you're lucky enough to live in a world where drinking water and heating are natural, but this doesn't make any sense.

“It's not a natural world.... ”

I frowned.

[■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■.]

And refuted the messenger's words.

“Sword man. But that's not weird. Because we chose this path on purpose, right? ”

-... what? What the hell are you talking about?

“What are you talking about? You've got [in advance] information that streams flow here, so you can route them so they don't starve or thirst. Before I left town. ”

-.......

When the messenger opened his lips.

[■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■.]

Slowly, the expression on the messenger's face became subtle.

- … I see. I did.

“Yes. The 60th floor is vast, unlike the stage we've been on so far, so be prepared to be distressed if you don't get information about maps or geography beforehand. You told me, didn't you? That's why I worked so hard to get geographic information from the village. Why are you doing this now? ”

- I see…… Hmm? I really do.

The messenger crosses his arms.

- Why did you think you were strangely lucky...? It was a result of preparing carefully, not luck...?

“I mean, I just got hungry talking to you about something weird. ”

I swooped and blew the error to catch a deer-like animal. The deer tank didn't see much of Humans, so he was blinked at the stream to make sure he wasn't too wary.

It was a simple hunt.

“I'm glad there's meat nearby. ”

-.......

“Ah, dried firewood. Lucky, let's have another barbecue today. ”

- …… did animals living on the 60th floor usually swear this? No, wait. Why are there common animals? I remember that there were so many horses around here....

[■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■.]

- Not long. You want to eat something delicious by yourself?

“I fucking love it. ”

- Bastard.

“Good guy?”

- Freak.

It was then.

“Acocco.... ”

Someone pops out of the bush in the direction [opposite] from where we came from. She was a little girl. As soon as she arrives in the stream, she gives you a purr and falls.

“Huh."

I quickly approached the girl with a freshly baked deer hind leg meat.

“Are you all right?”

“Ugh... Meat... Meat..."

The girl snorts with a dazzled face. It feels like I can smell with my soul rather than smell with my body. It seems that they were instinctively drawn to the smell of roasting venison.

Meat has nothing to do with it.

“Here you go. Take your time. ”

“Ugh... Thank you…."

The girl grabbed my hind legs and ate them up.

“Queek! Equb, fukuuk! W-water...! ”

“Huh."

[■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■.]

“Here, have a drink."

I had a bucket just in time. Luckily, if it wasn't for the bucket, I would have hand-drawn the water and given it to the girl, but the shape would be embarrassing from the side.

“Hehe!”

The girl drank the water out of her mouth in a hurry. Swallow, swallow, and your voice echoes and you look like you're finally going to live.

“More, thanks to you! ”

“No problem. We have to help the nomads in places like this. ”

“Without you, I would have starved to death.... You're a bird, a lifesaver... ”

The girl looked up at me, putting down her face like she was ashamed.

After wandering through the forest, my clothes and hair were fairly clean. Do you feel dirty, even if you've been through something hard?

Above all, she was very beautiful. It's really quite remarkable. After meeting Raviel, I haven't thought about human appearance, but she has slightly distorted my instinctive habits.

I smiled.

“I'd be delighted if it helped. ”

Well, I'm just thinking.

Raviel is much prettier.

"......."

The girl frowned at the slightest moment.

Then he shakes his head and mutters.

“Th-that's it... I don't think so... Yes, then...? ”

[■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■.]

I tilted my head.

“What did you just say? ”

"No."

Then the boy raised his head and smiled widely.

“It's nothing! ”

He laughed brightly.

I was dressed for so long that I couldn't imagine how long I'd wandered through the forest, and I didn't think I'd have any scars on my body, but the boy tried to thank me with all his might without losing his smile.

I felt natural sunshine on the boy's face.

“Me, too. You haven't even asked me her name yet! ”

“Ah."

“Sweetheart, can you please tell me your name? ”

I smiled.

“Of course. My nickname is the Four Kings. ”

“Four Kings...... Four Kings!? ”

The boy was startled.

“If it's the king, he just cleared 10 floors at once!? ”

“Well, yes. Maybe I'm right. ”

“Wow! Amazing! How can I be so lucky...! I wanted to know who they were because the constellations were getting louder and louder, but I stumbled upon them in a distressed forest! ”

Bang, bang.

The boy shook my hand trembling.

“It's a real honor to meet you! ”

Even the sun smiles bright enough to go dark.

“I'm a big fan of the king! ”
