Episode 405 One person (11)
“…what does it mean?”
“It took us about 10 minutes to wake you up. And you woke up the moment you faced Satan. Do you really think it was just a coincidence?”
“Does this mean that the devil did something?”
“The transference of clashing souls and memories. This is an unknown world that not even I know about. However, even now, in my ignorance, I can at least come up with a hypothesis.”
The commandment said this and spread his palms. The white-dyed leather gloves seem to have not worn off yet, so their movements are a bit slow.
“It must have shown you a memory on purpose and deliberately woke you up at that moment.”
“…Yeah, I guess that’s true too.”
There is no evidence, but whatever. I, too, was emotionally expecting that to happen. As a basis, the personality of the anger and past actions are sufficient.
[for a moment. no. I…!]
“Were you expecting it?”
“I have a heart attack.”
The commandment slowly moved its eyelids at my words. “I added words for no reason.” It’s closer to a feeling of doubt that something unnecessary has been said. My heart became impatient for a moment.
“no. If there’s something that’s bothering you, like now, I want you to speak up without hesitation. “A person with a wide horizon of knowledge can see more than an ignorant person, and no one knows where the difference in insight will arise.”
He may not be a good person, but is there anyone else at this party who knows as much as he does?
We don’t know, but we never know when something that only they know will pop up. So, if possible, I would like you to continue talking like you are now. Please, just in case something unexpected happens.
“….”
“…You don’t like it?”
Perhaps because he understood my remark, Kye-myung looked at me with a gaze that was neither glaring nor simply staring. The eyes, shining with dozens of colors in the glow of the sunset, sparkled like minerals.
“He is truly heartless.”
“…?”
“But that harshness is probably a piece of wisdom. “I will accept your offer.”
Suddenly, my thoughts stopped when I heard the call of a heartless person. It wasn’t just that I was scolded, but I was scolded with words I had never heard before, so question marks popped into my head.
“How heartless! Adventurer, you are not that kind of person!”
“That bastard? “Is your eye sprained?”
“Adventurer…? “You don’t know anything.”
No, if I think about it again, it might not be the first time I’ve heard that word. Even though I don’t remember being called heartless, I’ve heard people call me heartless a few times.
“I have no intention of arguing with people I don’t even know about.”
But even if I think about it again, gambling has crossed the line. I even gave him three or three chances.
And the fact that I committed drunk driving despite knowing about the accident I had was really—
“I was the one who listened, so why are you getting more angry?”
“Let me just ask. “Aren’t you even angry?”
“Is this something to be angry about?”
It wasn’t like I was spreading malicious rumors, I was just expressing my opinion. It is also true that I am relatively harsher towards Gyemyung. Isn’t it a bit unfair to say something there?
If it’s just callous and harsh, it doesn’t even have the vulgarity to make you feel uncomfortable.
“If he heard the same thing, would he react the same way?”
“I guess so…”
“…Really?”
“How are you really looking at me?”
“Hogu?”
“I believe that if he had been a member of the church, he would have become a saint.”
“I think it’s the embodiment of affection.”
“The adventurer is a kind, gentle, and strong person with many things to imitate!”
“Nari… what is it… I’m a bit worried about leaving her alone… she’s the kind of person. “I feel like he will embrace even the most serious sins… Of course, that’s why I want to follow him.”
“He’s stupid, but he’s someone I don’t want to criticize for being stupid. you.”
[Out of all the people I’ve ever seen, you’re an exceptionally good person, aren’t you?]
I’ll turn around. Why are everyone giving such negative reviews?
“… Aside from being embarrassed, I don’t know why the evaluation got to that point.”
“Are you sure you don’t know…?”
“It would be a lie if I said I didn’t have a clue at all… But even so, to that extent—”
I sighed deeply, and then my thoughts suddenly wandered to a certain place. Could it be that the reason I was able to see the memories…?
“I couldn’t believe it, but was that really the purpose?”
“lily?”
“Adventurer?”
“It’s a story about the devil. “I think I understand why I suddenly saw the memory.”
Should I call this funny or absurd?
The reason why the clown said of anger, ‘I don’t think I would choose death at any moment’ comes to mind again.
“Oh, did you figure it out?”
No matter how angry he was about being pitied, in the end, his top priority was his life.
‘Roughly. But I don’t think you need to know.’
“Ah…”
[Gretchen.]
Also, because Anger is that kind of person, what I have to do became clear.
‘Shall I save your life?’
“Gretchen?!”
[…What?]
‘You wanted to live, so you endured humiliation to show me your memories.’
Now that I’ve been called a deceiver, I guess I’ll try to deceive.
* * *
‘Shall I save your life?’
Mephistopheles’ heart seemed to drop at those words. It was all due to anticipation and humiliation.
‘You wanted to live, so you endured humiliation to show me your memories.’
In my heart, I want to kneel down at his feet and pray for him to do so. If you really thought it would work, it might have actually done so.
[Lie.]
But a fraudster recognizes a fraudster. The old deceiver noticed the trick that the new person was trying to pull and sharpened his teeth. Shame ignited her flame.
[You have no intention of saving me.]
‘Why do you think that?’
[If you truly felt pitiful, you wouldn’t say that now.]
The narrow prison given to her by Gretchen, who took control of her thoughts. The small white space began to fill with prominence. It was as dark as a ruby and as brilliant as a diamond, but in reality, it was a fire that only used everything as firewood.
[If you’re going to deceive me, get out of there.]
I can risk my life by clinging desperately to the feeling of sympathy. If you are alive, you can take revenge at any time as long as you survive.
But if life does not come to the other side of the scale, only death awaits her. She won’t be lame anymore.
‘…actually. okay. I still think it’s a bit hard to save someone like you. But that doesn’t mean I really have no intention of doing so.’
under! Her sharp laughter rang out over Gretchen’s next words.
‘If you would give me a little cooperation, I would really—’
[Dear Gretchen. Just tell me to give you information about Satan. Why is there a need to go round and round when everyone knows each other?]
Why are you like this between players? Gretchen stopped speaking at her words.
‘It’s a shame.’
That’s exactly what happens after a long time.
Mephistopheles’ fist hit the wall and shattered all objects in the space.

“You looked strangely sad from earlier.”
“Did you see that?”
“yes. now.”
I rubbed the back of my neck innocently at Daniel’s words.
I guess it’s because the concept has become less compulsory, so I’ve relaxed a lot. It wasn’t very bad news.
“The fishing wasn’t going well.”
“Fishing… you mean?”
Daniel’s gaze went back and forth between my hand and the windy night sky. In addition, it is difficult to say that I am at the end of my position.
His gaze was confused for a moment. It seems like I understood the words literally.
“So you came here to ask that?”
“Oh, that’s not it.”
Well, there’s no need to explain it anyway. I leaned back against the basket and looked up at the night sky. The Milky Way seen between the gray clouds was truly fascinating.
“I just… wanted to talk to you before you go back.”
“what?”
“Anything doesn’t matter. “If you go there, it will be difficult to even talk.”
“but.”
Even if we don’t rush to the battlefield right away, people’s eyes are on us. Moreover, there are many parts of my story that will sound strange if you do it wrong.
There is probably no better time to talk openly than this moment.
“What are you talking about?”
“Master Daemyeong.”
“Is it you?”
At about that time, Meister, who was fiddling with something with the help of Suzaku’s light, joined in. Maybe joining in on a conversation and being dexterous are two different things, but I kept the things I was fidgeting with.
“We had a little discussion about your dirty temper.”
“What are you doing?”
“Phew. Yes. “I think you need to tone down your temper a bit.”
“Do you really want to get married?”
Daniel giggled at my joke and Meister made an angry face. I feel like I want to do more, but I feel like if I do that, the hammer will fly, so I’d better hold out here.
“It’s a joke. “I was just about to bring up something.”
“It has to be real.”
“…This is the truth without a single lie, so relax the hand holding the hammer.”
It’s scary because he looks like he’s really swinging a hammer. Daniel and I quickly cleaned up the joke and went back to the original topic.
“What kind of place is your hometown?”
“Well… I don’t know how to answer if you ask such a comprehensive question.”
“Oh, right. You agreed to tell me about inventions. “Give me more of that.”
“It was Daniel who asked first.”
“What can I do?”
“When it comes to humanity…”
I frowned, but quickly relaxed it. If you relate it to the invention, it will be a satisfactory answer for both of you. A Solomonic solution came to mind.
“The places where people live are all the same, but they are more developed in terms of convenience.”
“Convenience?”
“First of all, there are cars… that is, cars that move on their own without the help of creatures like horses. And there is technology that allows us to hear each other’s voices even if we are far away.”
“We have that too.”
“It takes a lot of preparation to use this place. “The technology has become so popular that most people on the street are using it.”
“what?”
At my words, Meister grabbed me by the collar. I could have avoided it, but I could see his excitement so clearly that I didn’t bother to dodge it. If you avoid these guys, they will go even crazier. It’s better to just give up.
“You didn’t tell me there was such a thing!”
“Don’t you think you didn’t give me a chance to talk?”
Talk about weapons. Starting with that, guns, grenades, machine guns, Tasers, everything has been taken away, so now it would be a bit difficult to ask about the existence of cell phones. To begin with, the two categories are completely different.
Of course, things like radios are treated as very important strategic materials, and the battlefield has changed dramatically because of them, but they are still not classified as ‘weapons’ themselves.
“How did it become popular? “I didn’t think that magic would really become popular.”
“I don’t know the principles very well, but…”
I talked about things like radio waves and base stations. Fortunately, the meister seemed to understand the general explanation of the worm.
“It means using radio waves instead of magic power. And radio waves are a type of wave like sunlight. It was also the first time I realized that sunlight was a wave. “If we observe it with some kind of machine, we will be able to know that it is a wave, right?”
However, the Meister managed to handle it somehow and ended up falling into his own world. Since it was a regular occurrence, I just drank water because I was used to it.
“That guy. Sir Job.”
“…?”
“As expected, I am asking this out of curiosity… but does Lord Job not reside in this world?”
“…?”
“So, another world…? “Are you from a place like that?”
Why is it obvious? Wait a minute. Come to think of it, did I mention this part?
“…Did I never say anything properly?”
Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever said anything accurately. Even so, I never tried to hide it.
“yes. In the past, when you were drunk, you talked about another world, but…”
“I see.”
Since I never tried to hide it, I thought everyone must have noticed. Even more so since the Meister was openly asking about ‘your world’s technology’.
If you think about it again, it would be rare to find someone who can immediately think of ‘another world’ like Meister. If it weren’t for something like this, I would have dismissed it as a fantasy, so I’m sure people here would do the same.
“As you guessed, my hometown is in another world.”
“…I guess it’s like that.”
I confessed while awkwardly scratching my cheek. It was a topic I didn’t really want to talk about with other people, but they deserved to know this. Daniel lowered his head.
“I thought you didn’t want to talk about it, so I deliberately didn’t ask until now. But since I’ve come this far, I’m still curious.”
“I didn’t really mean to hide it from you, but… I appreciate your consideration.”
I’m thankful for something. Just as my expression was about to darken, a rustling sound echoed from behind.
“Are you all from another world?”
…I guess it’s time to figure it out and explain.
