Episode 137
39. Do you want to be secret friends with Ajo? (4)
“Hey, Lioner.”
【Do not talk.】
“Why are you overreacting so much, I’m not doing anything wrong.”
When I asked the question as if jokingly, I heard the guy’s shrill voice in my head.
【You didn’t make a big mistake? You’re talking nonsense!! I sent the demons alive, how could that not be my fault?!]
A voice resounding throughout the goal.
Lioner was now expressing dissatisfaction with me with his whole body.
【Think about it. No matter how low-level he was, the gate was connected to the Demon Realm! If the next time you open the gate, if the monsters come out, that would be a disaster!]
“Well, that’s not going to happen.”
Incubus Nabe bowed her head to thank me for sending her back safely.
He even told me to open the gate whenever I needed it.
I mean, I’ll do my best.
“You’ve seen it yourself. Counting the imprint of an oath.”
【It is, but… … !]
Among the enemies Aidan will meet later, there are also Incubus and Succubus.
Still, it’s a signboard-level event monster that is described as a pretty-looking demon.
Because both of them were on an axis of the main scenario.
At that time, I remembered the contract method unique to the demons, which I had heard from the two monsters at the time, and applied it to Nabe.
‘The imprint of the oath’.
It was a device that acted as a fatal and absolute command for the demons, especially the dreamers.
From the moment the oath is engraved, all command rights over the demons belong to me.
The most effective and sure way for a higher demon to obey a lower demon.
Fortunately, Nabe had a low rank, but there were no demons with a life contract.
It was possible to sign the oath immediately.
‘I didn’t have any particular reluctance… … The effect of ‘The Majesty of the Demon King’, the characteristic acquired last time, may have been activated.’
I thought it was useless for nothing, but when I roughly grasped the direction of the scenario, I think I can understand why he gave me this ability.
Does our demon king have plans?
Anyway, back to the point.
Now, along with the Lioner, I have signed a contract with Nabe, a low-level demon and a dream demon.
[Damn, you smell like demons!!!]
“Are you serious?”
【Even if I go to a dungeon with a high concentration of magic, I am at the level I am, but this fact in itself is unpleasant.】
“Then there’s no problem. I signed a contract with the demons, isn’t it natural? That doesn’t mean there’s a problem in your relationship with me, right?”
I have no intention of terminating my contract with Lioner. I wasn’t on the side of the demons, I was just using the demons.
Lioner, too, knows the hidden meaning inside.
Although the contract with Nabe showed a sign of blatant discomfort, he did not strongly block it.
【Unless you break the contract, I will be by your side. but… … If I ever take part in the Demon King’s resurrection, then I will-]
“No. Never. Not even the Demon King, but the Demon King Grandpa will not come.”
I said, cutting the Lioner’s words firmly.
“And I have an idea of what to do next.”
People should use their heads actively rather than being swayed by the situation.
Cancer, not like that.
* * *
A week has passed since the massive time stop caused by Black Rona.
The four of us, myself included, were once again reunited in George’s dormitory.
It was also because it was necessary to determine the future direction.
It was to receive a more important construction stone ornament.
“How have you been, senpai?”
When I smiled at Lorna with a straight face, she answered in a very low voice.
“Thanks… It’s been a really long time since I’ve stayed up all night.”
She even took a vacation herself to work.
Daddy Doo-seok was very puzzled, but for me, knowing the reason, it was only quite peculiar.
He seemed to have a sense of responsibility.
“Now, here are the accessories you asked for.”
Lorna Aztel pulled out a pretty well-crafted ornament from the pouch.
Two rings and one necklace.
In the place where the original gem should have been embedded, a space-time stone resembling an emerald was shining softly.
“Wow… it’s pretty.”
“I made it myself.”
“Did the senior do it himself??”
“Yeah, I’ve learned this and that…. Besides this, I also know how to sew.”
Somehow, I wanted to make bread too well for just one part-time job.
“So, did you even take a vacation?”
“They said they didn’t have enough time… and the materials.”
The old man rubbed his eyes to see if he was still tired.
“From next week on, I can’t have much time, so I’m going to make it as quickly as possible… I only have one necklace.”
“No, I’d rather have a ring. I’m already wearing a necklace.”
I took out the red jewel that was hanging around my neck and showed it to me.
‘Tears of a Hero’, which I farmed immediately after coming to the island.
Now that I’m in my second year, I had to match it with better accessories.
There was still some leeway left. Now, there was no big battle for the rest of the semester.
“Then who will wear the necklace?”
“I like rings, but necklaces are pretty too.”
George seemed to be interested in the necklace.
Obviously, the necklace was much better crafted than the ring.
‘Look at me being greedy again.’
I deliberately pretended not to be interested and saw George’s leisurely appearance.
then inevitably.
I need to give Camilla the necklace.
“Camilla, then you…”
“Huh? …No!!? I like rings.”
Camila, who was silent for a moment, grabbed the ring before she could finish speaking.
“Is that so? You seem to like it.”
“Ugh. Yeah, it’s pretty, isn’t it?”
Camila wraps the ring tightly as if dealing with a precious treasure.
It was in such a good shape that even his face was getting red.
‘Because I did a good job… … .’
Then I took the ring, and George grinned and took the necklace.
“Then I am automatically a necklace.”
“I think you’re lucky.”
“Why…! Let’s get something I want too!”
Look, if you want to have it, you can just say it, but you always say it back.
I shrugged at him and tapped the tabletop.
Then, a slightly distracted gaze turned to me.
“Okay, then the construction site is complete. I’ll tell you what we should do next.”
They have some knowledge of bugs and missing pieces.
The difference between seeing with awareness and seeing without awareness is stark.
It’s like your girlfriend saying, “Oppa, where have I changed?”
If you can get the information that you went to a hair salon in advance, you can recognize the slightly cut bangs to some extent.
Without any information, you can never get the right answer.
The bug was the same.
Surprisingly, it is a bug that we witness countless times while passing by the street.
Of course, I haven’t seen it very well lately, although it popped up with a black furnace or gun.
When I was first possessed, I remember seeing it at least four or five times a day.
In other words, at least when it comes to bugs, it’s happening randomly outside my view.
What if the world is a shithole?
The possessed game is Bug X Mangam, so it has no choice but to do so.
“Rona-senpai just proceed with what I asked for. Camila and George just have to live as usual.”
“Huh? Is that the end?”
“The distortion of the world happens suddenly, at some point. Each time, you can calmly remember the place and phenomenon, and then tell me.”
“Aha, it’s kind of like a watchman…!”
“right.”
I raised my hands and showed them to them.
“The warping of the world can only be corrected with my own hands.”
It was a word spoken out of ignorance.
Come to think of it again, something is creepy?
Before realizing it, the fingers begin to bend inward.
I hurriedly lowered my arms under the tabletop and hid them.
But if there was one thing I overlooked.
That George couldn’t stand still watching it.
His eyes twinkled like a space-time stone.
“John X is cool.”
He gave a thumbs up and exclaimed to himself.
“Sanwoo, your true ability is… world, world, wealth, number.
‘X feet.’
What I was afraid of happened.
The World Breaker.
“You idiot, shut up!”
I forcefully shut George’s mouth as he was about to say something more.
“You’re not ready yet… Eup! Oooh!!”
“Anyway, there’s nothing special about it. There’s no need to wander around dangerous places for nothing.”
That’s exactly the level I was looking for.
Even if they were aware of the existence of the bug, Camilla and George were living in this world from the beginning.
Just because he possessed a space-time stone, he couldn’t be sure that he was completely free from the influence of the bug yet.
“I see…….”
Fortunately, Camilla seemed to understand.
Because she, too, is the head of the fire department, and knows that she can’t take on her obligations just because she wants it.
“Fuha! But, you know, the four of us feel like a secret society, don’t we?”
said George out of my hand.
“If you look at it, it is.”
“Then, shouldn’t there be a gathering place or something other than just gathering at my house? Just like the Assassins in fairy tales.”
“Hmm…”
Frankly, it makes sense.
There was a limited number of people who could gather in the dormitory.
No matter how much the superintendent is almost neglected, he is basically in charge of managing staff and maintaining the dormitory.
The higher you go, the tighter the management level becomes.
Even George’s dormitory was forced to leave after 9 o’clock.
“I think there should be a place, too. I think it will be easier to distinguish them. How about we set up a password for each other?”
Camilla said, making a V with her fingers.
Place and password… … .
It seemed that there was a need for serious consideration.
“If only our festival goes as planned, I think we will be able to receive a TV show from the student building.”
“Ah~ It’s different from Dongbang. There may be a common denominator, but it’s better to clearly distinguish it from this one.”
As George was fascinated by these elements, he was serious about securing a place.
“Then let’s figure this out individually. Because I have enough funds available that I can solve separately.”
Initially, he was a faculty support scholarship student. Now for me, tuition and living expenses were not a concern.
“If it doesn’t work out, I can buy one at the mall.”
I heard that some elite clubs or large-scale clubs contract for a separate building rather than the east side of the student building.
It’s nice to have a place like that for secret gatherings.
“Then we’re disbanding with this today. Anyone have more to say?”
Looking around, Lorna yawned and raised her hand.
“I’m tired, so can I go first?”
“Senior, you’ve worked hard.”
“Yes.”
She disappears with Blink magic as soon as she speaks.
Indeed, it is the ability of an alter ego of a wizard who has trained magic for eons.
‘How could I have known that a part-timer at a store would be the main DLC companion?’
Rona Aztel said that, but Camilla and George also seemed to have separate schedules today.
“I have an appointment later. I’ll have to get up soon.”
Camila and George get up from their seats.
“I have to go see the professor today too… Do you have any other schedules for Sanwoo?”
Well, you can make a schedule.
“I don’t have any plans. I have a place to stop by, so let’s go there.”
I answered Camila, stretching out.
“where?”
“Breath of the World Tree.”
