The Tutorial Is Too Hard

“Banquet?”

“Yes, this evening. ”

Why are you telling me this now?

No, because you've had some feelings for me over the years.

Since we decided to take a few days off on the 55th floor, Seong-ju has offered to eat together constantly.

Of course I said no.

It was the banquet that the Holy Spirit chose after the continued refusal.

I thought I hated the hassle and offered to eat, but I seem to have changed the direction of the banquet since I refused.

I asked the Chamberlain Inspire, and she said she already prepared the banquet for several days, even though it's urgently decided.

The butler explained in detail whether I thought I was interested in the banquet or the banquet being prepared.

What things are being prepared, how many people have been invited, and how many days the banquet lasts.

Hearing that explanation, I thought about running away at the right time.

Let's hear a little more.

“And Young-hae will be attending this banquet. ”

“Infinity? What about the curse? Is it okay? ”

The clear mission of this 55-story stage itself was to retrieve jewels from the dungeon in order to save the damned soul.

“Yes, thanks to the apostle, you were refreshed much earlier than I expected. ”

The butler has now begun to explain whether I thought I was interested in infancy.

How beautiful she is and blah, blah, blah.

It was a little creepy to see an old man describing a girl who was in his late teens like a goddess.

I have seen it several times in the past few days and still haven't adapted.

Next, the butler also informed us about the role of Young-ae in the banquet.

“A letter?”

“Yes, this is a letter from the Spirit to the Apostle. ”

“… you read it to the ballroom? In front of people?”

“Yes, this is one of the main events of the event. ”

This is tough.

It was uncomfortable to go to a crowded banquet hall, but I was reasonably patient.

To be honest, I was curious.

But I was anxious to read that damn letter.

First, I told the butler I knew and sent him outside.

The butler's inspiration greatly rejoiced that I would attend the banquet.

[Are you sure you want to leave?]

“You're crazy.”

I will not go to the banquet until I hear that there is an event called reading the letter.

You read letters about me in front of people?

And that's the main event of the banquet?

No matter what the content of the letter says, I won't be there.

I may be overreacting, of course.

The letter of spirituality may just be to announce my ball and give thanks.

But then, it is natural for the Holy Spirit to play that role.

I remembered the actions the butler had seen in a few days, praising him too much about spirituality, trying to keep me informed about spirituality, asking me if I could talk to him once and tell him about me.

When I was a student, I remember confessing to a girl I liked in front of the whole school.

It was a memory that I had buried deep, but I was surprised to see it still coming to life.

“Let's run.”

[I knew it! Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. Miss Ceresia, I'll grant you a wish later.]

[If I have a strange wish, I'll say no.]

I guess they even made a bet.

The father and wife who lost their swords used to fly around with handkerchiefs tied to them, but they were mostly tied and hung from the soul blade that belonged to Serena.

That's why I thought the two of them were getting closer quickly.

Ego Sods have a relationship.

While awake, I could hear what they were talking about, but I didn't even know what they were talking about when they were sleeping.

Like you didn't know about the bet.

Let's ask them about their relationship later.

If the relationship is now unclear and subtle, my question may not be answered by Bourne.

“Father, do you remember Mado Engineering well? ”

[Yes, yes. Once we have everything we can learn, we remember. And I remember something that I didn't quite understand.]

“Don't forget it later, or get confused. ”

[Aigoo, the warrior. What do you see me as?]

What am I supposed to see in you?

Think about it.

I confirmed that my father and I were familiar with the knowledge of Mado Engineering and summoned frogs.

“Frog, get in the ring. ”

“Queek!”

I said no to the frogs, but I activated the ring to recall the frog in sub-dimensional order.

After clearing the 55th floor, I climbed up to the portal that's been hanging around me.

“Go.”

* * *

[Welcome to the 56th floor waiting room.]

“What, this. ”

After powering the portal on the 55th floor, I thought of course it would be moved over the Kirikiri field.

But where I was moved was near a waterfall.

Before I challenged on the 55th floor, I remembered that Kirikiri said he wouldn't be here soon.

I understood that I would have to stay on the 55th floor for a long time.

But now it appears that the process of clearing the 55th floor and stopping in her field has been omitted.

“This is so weird. ”

[What's the matter?]

The couple asked for it, but it was silent.

It wasn't why I needed to learn something on stage on the 55th floor or why Kirikiri needed to rest to decide.

For a moment, I felt embarrassed.

If the process of going to Kirikiri's field after clearing the stage is omitted, when will we be able to see it again?

Subsequently, I wondered, somewhere here.

The message said this was the waiting room.

But I don't see any portals going to the next stage anywhere.

In the waiting room, there were no furniture such as beds to support.

It was just a big waterfall.

You use your magic to look around and find a giant waterfall cave just beyond the waterfall.

First, I went inside the cave.

There was no one in the cave.

Even small creatures such as worms and bats did not exist.

There was only one crystal hole in the cave that was hollowed out in the deepest part of the cave.

You pick up a crystal ball that was rolling around the cave floor like garbage.

[Hello.]

A voice flows from the crystal ball and greets me.

“I can't say goodbye. ”

[I'm so sorry you couldn't say hello, challenger. I am Karin, your guide to the 59th floor.]

* * *

The voice from the crystal sphere introduced itself as Karin.

The most important thing my voice said was that it referred to me as a challenger.

“Do you belong to the tutorial system? ”

My voice did not immediately answer my question.

After a while, Tum said.

[You may see it that way, but you are part of a vaccine rather than a tutorial.]

What the hell?

I hear a lot of confusing things today.

“So it's like a manager? ”

There are managers on each difficulty level in the tutorial.

In the case of Hell difficulty, Kirikiri did.

[It's similar from your perspective. The reality is completely different.]

Something like that.

Different in nature, but similar in my view.

They're all part of the same system.

You mean the same thing.

First of all, I don't think this voice is replacing the Kirikiri.

I asked my voice for a detailed explanation.

Fortunately, the voice began to explain as requested.

[My role here is to determine the right stage for you.]

“Stage?”

[Yes. I will decide what stage you will go from the 56th floor to the 59th floor.]

It meant that the content of the stage could change depending on the intention of the voice.

I decided to ask you more about it later.

First, I was thankful that there was an end to the 59th floor.

“After clearing the 59th floor, are you going to see Kirikiri again? ”

This was an important issue.

A new shop window will open upon entering the 60th floor.

I wanted to take advice from Kirikiri, preferably before entering the 60th floor.

Kirikiri?

“Hell difficulty manager. ”

[Oh, that's what he said. Yeah, like you said, when you clear the 59th floor, you'll see him again.]

The voice gives Kirikiri a name of respect.

Within the tutorial, or within the vaccine, the location occupied by Kirikiri is quite high.

It was a foreseeable fact, but I was surprised to learn this firsthand.

“Are you an apostle, then? ”

I don't think it's God.

When I heard that I belonged to the vaccine, I thought of the apostle first.

[No.]

No, it's not.

None of this is going to work today.

[I do not belong to one god. I just work for the vaccine. To be clear, it is in a slightly higher position than the general apostle.]

You don't have to cut to explain what you didn't ask for.

I asked more questions than that.

Why are we talking through a crystal ball?

And I asked him why this important crystal sphere was rolling around like a rock on the bottom of a cave.

[The gods said it would be good to talk through the crystal sphere. I'm not sure. The advice of the gods is usually best not to ask why.]

God's advice is not to ask why.

That was a funny thing to say.

It's usually because I'm disappointed or embarrassed when I hear why.

I was interested to hear that I had received God's advice.

This voice of Karin seemed to be a comfortable person to interact with the gods in the Vaccine War.

I was curious about the personal identity of the voice.

I know exactly who I am and what I usually do in addition to being in charge of the stage.

Hearing me, Karin gladly reintroduced himself.

“A dragon?”

[Yes.]

Karrin's voice makes me proud of his kind.

It's worth it.

It's a dragon.

I remember the minions who worshipped the dead dragon on the 20th floor like a god.

And Edie's attitude towards those minions.

For them, dragons were so divine.

When I heard the word dragon, it didn't seem strange that it was related to the vaccine.

On the other hand, I was happy.

A dragon.

Oh, my god.

“Hey."

What's the matter?]

“Come out for a minute. Let me see your face. ”

[… why do you want to meet me, why do you want to meet me first?]

“Why, because I want to see the dragon for myself. It's been a dream since I was a child, to actually see a dragon. ”

[Don't lie to me.]

Damn, you're a mess.

Suddenly, I became more alert.

“You said you had to decide what stage is right for you. So why don't we meet up and see? Measure your combat strength. ”

[But the gods advise...]

“Hefty?”

In my words, Karrin cried out in a bewildered state.

[... Scared! I'm a dragon! No matter how challenging I may be, I'm afraid of Humans!]

“Let's come out for a bit, shall we? ”

[…….]

“Hefty?”
