SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

1.

[Transmitted immediately to the 70th floor, depending on your preference.]

I was unhesitantly caught in a sandstorm.

[You have entered stage 70.]

The scent of sun-dried sand has been lingering on the tip of my nose since ancient times.

The smell of the sun.

When I was a child, I suddenly looked up at my palms while playing in the tender playground, and there was a gentle aura. Scented Sato. The body that had been heated up until just before the battle, my mind, sank.

There's a message I've been hearing for a long time.

[‘Wonder Girl’ congratulates you on your journey.]

Was he watching me fight somewhere?

When I imagined that I would lie on the couch and eat potato chips and watch for some reason, a smile was raised.

“Relaxing. It's different from the beginning. ”

Another pillar in front of me like that.

[Ancient Staff] sat down.

“It's been a while since I've seen a challenger in my own lobby. The one behind you. Swordsmanship. When I came up here, I was just like you..."

The wizard narrows his eyes.

“…… No. He looked more relaxed than you. I don't know if they'll make it. ”

“I wonder, what was that face? ”

“This was a face that said," Why don't you serve the guests a drink? That's what he actually said. Of course, when I speak, I have some really new slang, but I won't tell you that much. ”

I coughed my tongue and looked around. The messenger gives you the look of what?

- I don't remember that. Of course, as soon as I walked in here, I thought it was so bad that I didn't have anything to eat, but I never did.

“Of course, the sword itself will never come to mind. ”

The wizard speaks as if he heard the messenger's ballmen. I wouldn't have really heard it. He just had the intelligence to predict things he couldn't hear with his head in advance, as if it were only natural.

“The sword isn't the only thing that's been erased. Everyone who first met our pillars in the tower loses their memory. I'm quickly forgetting that there was a stage auction just now. ”

"......."

“Yes, the Four Kings. Except you.”

The wizard leans against his shoulder with a long staff.

The 70th floor was a white world with no reef. It was different from the [white waiting room] where the princess stayed. Glug.... The large and small cubes return like Rubik's Cubes.

Some cubes were as big as the moon. The other cube was smaller than the fist.

Glug. The cubes move like a cog, constantly engaged. The cubes were assimilated with a white background, soon to emerge and set up a sharp angle, and then disappeared again.

It's just a little get-together and then back. Repeating a simple cycle for all eternity was the celestial and physical object of the world.

“What do you want from me? ”

“The one who wishes to forget is the tower master. ”

The wizard stamped the question from the east.

“The tower, the crystal, wanted it to be all yours. At least he wanted to be mistaken. The managers' footprint is that the less visible the better. ”

“For that matter, he sends us a blessing message every time he comes up on stage. ”

The Wizard smiles.

“You're selfish, aren't you? You can't stand the Duke unless you tell him you have someone with you.“ God only exists when you need it. ”

The cubes move slowly behind the wizard's back.

“I can't save the passenger. ”

"......."

“All the people who have been chosen as pillars. In other words, for you, we're the ones with supernatural abilities on the roof. I owe you. I've been looking forward to life. All we can do is help the passengers. Zrakua...... All kingdom born in the same world as Topju get pinned down. ”

The wizard looked at me.

“But.”

“People from the outside are different. ”

I was guessing the Wizard's words.

“Like a sword. With me.”

“Exactly. ”

Silent eyes settle.

“Four Kings. I'm not trying to erase your memory. You can't erase it. You earned that position and that authority yourself. If we wait 1,000 years, if we wait 10,000 years, if we wait 10 million years to die, there will be people on the 99th floor. Someday, 100 floors will be broken. No matter how many times I try, I don't know when I'll be allowed to take your place again. ”

"......."

“You're a miracle. In the gap created by the princess, the gap between Mutia and Hisimit Creetz, Hamustra sprinkled the rain, and you bloomed. You caught the spider silk hole the tower put in it. And I don't want to wait for another miracle of life to bloom in space. ”

I asked. Again.

“What do you want from me? ”

“Only what you would expect. ”

It was that moment.

The wizard raises his staff and touches the air. The edge of the cube protruding from the white background was touched by a staff.

“Up until now, you've been fighting in a professional field. ”

The cube is stained with color.

The yellow cube has worn off its angled edges. No, it melted. It was like paint flowing from a scaled balloon.

Unlike just balloons, the capacity of the cube was infinite.

“From now on, you'll have to fight in [unprofessional] fields. ”

The yellow paint melted and wet the floor.

At first, the Wizard came out.

Next, my shadow.

“Places you haven't paid much attention to. ”

And the horizon.

I was covered in yellow water under my feet.

The yellow color was milder than gold and softer like a wheat field.

“The constellation of Zen doesn't just mean that warriors serve him. ”

The wizard looks down as he treads on the color of the wheat grain.

“Even merchants who've been building walls with martial arts all their lives can fight bandits in some gritty alley. Sometimes a lover fights a duel with a rival. Music, medicine, magic, academic, agriculture, commerce, sailing……."

The yellow tide reflects the human monarchy. Someone drops a pickaxe to the ground, and someone turns the boat into an unknown sea. Tie! There was a man who gnawed at the string of an instrument that looked like a violin.

“If you want to be a constellation, you must be willing to reach out. ”

“Well, that's a big word. Simply put, it's not professional for you. These are amateur fields."

The wizard's mouth twitches like a mimosa leaf.

I realized later that it was a smile.

“So whether or not you've cleared the stage, of course, we should call [Expert] in for judgment." ”

The wizard slams the floor with his staff.

Whoa!

A dim figure formed in it as the light gushed out.

"Hmm?"

It was a human form.

“Huh? Hmm? Uh-uh--"

Probably during a meal. Someone summoned by the Wizard was summoned just as he was sitting on the chair. Chop, chop! Crushed his butt with an iron fist.

“Aigoo! Aigoo, ouch. Black Dragon Owner or Inquisitor? You can't just call me that without an invitation. ”

The impressive part is that the fallout was very stable. Suddenly summoned, and even though he had fallen into an unpredictable position, he immediately rolled to his feet.

And then we met.

“Oh?”

"Eg."

The other person was too familiar with each other.

“What's up, Kim Gong-ja? Is that what you called me? I didn't expect to learn how to summon."

The shiny armor of the bandages is shiny.

I only knew one person who wore armor in everyday life.

“…… Patricia? ”

“I see. I had no reason to worry. I was nervous for a second about what kind of emergency came out of nowhere. ”

It was the paladin.

“By the way, Duke Kim, you are the only friend who knows my real name and has not hit the Patrash Drip. ”

“Well, I don't know if this is the right conversation for you, but let me ask you this. What's that?”

“What...? You don't know Patrash?”

The paladin looks shocked.

“Are you out of your mind?"

“I don't know why I should be treated like that... ”

“This is serious. This is a sign of the end of the world. Kim Gong-ja, what the hell do you know? What were they born to know? And you can claim to be the Hunter representing our tower? Empower you to reflect deeply on your life. After you've reflected, look for [Flanders' Dog] and cry. That's why you have an organ called the lacrimal gland. ”

“Okay, I can assure you, this is not a conversation we're having right now. ”

This was clear. After meeting each other for a long time, our relationship was 360% friends, not asking each other how they were doing, but asking if they were sane.

Why 360%? Hmm. It's a loop.

"Four Kings."

Patricia and I are confused, and [Ancient Staff] opens his mouth.

“I'll tell you what to do from the 70th floor. ”

We both looked at the Wizard.

“Make him your disciple. ”

"......."

“71st to 79th floor. One person per stage. Putting together at least nine believers. Well, it's your first assignment as a constellation. ”

The wizard moves his mouth.

This time, it was a clear smile.

“A constellation without a congregation does not exist. ”

2.

The people are quiet.

- Yes, I understand! I've realized everything!

In other words, ghosts, not people, were a little noisy.

- I didn't understand why I was being chased by guys like Swordsmanship. Huh? If there was a religion that worshipped me as a god, I would have rushed in and destroyed it, not someone else. You bastards, why do you put a living person on the ground and turn them into ghosts?

‘You're a ghost. ’

- No, it wasn't.

The messenger snorts.

- I thought it was weird for some reason. I'm just too good to be true, and now I have things to take care of, which is over. Tsk. Looks like I've been running this quest since I woke up from the 70th to 80th floors.

"Huh?"

- Yeah, yeah. I told you it was the pillar or something. [Erase Memory] I woke up stages and then I had a weird memory distortion. As a result, there was a swordsmith who succeeded in making the congregation, but the process itself was forgotten.

It was quite reasonable.

[Ancient Staff] opens her lips while accidentally revealing the birth of the sword club.

“Usually, the 70th and 80th floors are rough obstacles. Hunters from the same tower as the challenger are chosen as the test tube, unless specifically the challenger is not familiar with them. Was he trying to get rid of it somehow? ”

“Hehe…. ”

“No matter how good a hunter is, he's usually far away from here. Or wander around here for hundreds of years. But maybe it's a different story from the Four Kings. ”

Indeed.

The Wizard also informed the paladin of the Gimics of the stage. At first, he was a paladin who tilted his head because he didn't know what was going on, but he quickly understood the situation.

“In short, if I take Duke Kim as a god, the 71st floor will be cleared. ”

The wizard nods.

“Yes, my child. ”

“Are there any special requirements for the service of the constellations? For example, should you take it deep in your heart, with your heart, with your soul, or [take it] only if you meet those conditions? ”

“No. If the Four Kings struggle on the 71st floor, and you admit [that's enough], that's it. ”

“Good.”

The paladin turned to me.

“Confucius.”

“Yes."

“Look at my face. ”

He looked very serious as usual.

“My name is Patricia.... a man who makes you a god. ”

“Be thankful. ”

What is it?

“I want nothing from you. Go to 71 and live whatever you want. No, just breathe. Anyone who breathes won't fail. It's okay. I'll make you a god. ”

Why is your expression so serious in the world... Something, please. Would you like to stab me in the heart and put out a purr right now?

“Even if you do something stupid... I will take you as a god. It's also a god. ”

“You and I ate real friends, huh? ”

The first god was not a commoner from the first candidate.
