episode_0022

To use a metaphor, the blood drained coldly, as if ice water had been placed under the skin.

My heart beats like crazy and cold sweat runs down my face.

“Well, well…”

As I froze and stumbled in embarrassment, things about this store started to randomly appear in my mind.

[Welcome to the rescue restaurant. This is a place to pay for the sins of this world by sharing or sharing the sins. Please forgive each other’s sins, repent, and be reborn as new humans!]

[Relief restaurant rules]

[You must order the menu]

[Cooking must be made with someone’s body. It doesn’t matter who the material belongs to]

[You must order the next menu after making all the ordered menu]

[You can rob another person’s body with mutual consent. Extortion without consent is not permitted]

[The only people who can leave the store are those who are physically healthy and those who are full]

[Anyone who breaks the rules must sacrifice a part of their body as material.]

[If the store owner breaks the rules and loses his license, he becomes an ingredient in the customers’ cooking]

[If there is no store owner, the next store owner will be one of the customers]

[*Currently, there are customers inside the store who have not been informed of the rules. Those people, please follow the store owner’s instructions]

“What the fuck is this…”

He covered his head and let out a sob.

Is this also a supernatural phenomenon?

Where on earth does it start and how far is this a supernatural phenomenon?

This store? Or the store owner? Or the guests?

“……”

I slowly raised my head and took a look at the store and the customers.

The floor and walls are covered in flesh and blood, making it disgusting and grotesque.

The store owner looked so horrible that I couldn’t even look him in the face, and the customers were monsters themselves, not the humans of this world.

“Whew, let’s calm down. Calm down…”

“Me! I want to play the next game! I want to play too!”

Even though he was running wild, Heo Sae-ron’s head, which had no presence at all, was crushed.

“Ugh!? Oppa Han-gil! What’s wrong!?”

“Saeron, can you please stay still? I’m crazy.”

“Hmm… How can I stay still when it’s so exciting!? I should enjoy the event by going wild!”

“under…”

It’s not that I don’t understand because I also felt the same way as her just a moment ago.

“Holy shit! ●●●!!”

At that time, the bird-man, who had lost the screaming contest with me, let out a desperate scream, calling an incomprehensible name.

Tsk tsk! Blah blah blah!

“Aaaah…!”

When I glanced back, I saw that the spine of another avian person who seemed to be in the same group as him was being pulled out entirely by an intangible force.

If the defeated person doesn’t have a spine, is that robbed from the group?

Even if it’s not in the rules, you’re interfering.

If so, it would be possible to circumvent the rules.

“It’s the worst…”

“Ah, ahhh…”

Even though it was like that, the person whose spine was pulled out was still alive.

It is a terrible and cruel sight.

“Then, let’s start cooking~”

The store owner, smiling, put the spine in boiling water to make beef bone soup.

A spine full of flesh boils in a dirty pot, giving off a disgusting smell.

“Wow~ Looks delicious~”

“That’s right. I want to eat it quickly.”

“It smells good~”

“……”

Heo Sae-ron, Kwon Gyeong-gu, and Eun No-eul frowned and suppressed nausea at the positive reactions they showed one after another.

“shit…”

“I’m next! Eyeball! Give me the eyeball!”

Before I could properly understand the situation, a lizard man whose entire body was covered in scales growled and looked down at Eunnoeul.

He was missing an eye and a right arm.

“sleep…!”

“Oh my, are you next? Okay~”

Before I could say anything, an ‘agreement’ was reached.

“Good! Let’s compete in a battle of teeth and grip strength!”

“Hmm… your teeth strength? Those teeth are a little weak, so can you just give it up?”

“What!? What nonsense…”

At that moment, a ray of sweet scent wafted into this space filled with disgusting and fishy smells.

If you look closely, Eunnoeul’s eyes are shining pink.

“Mmm…good. I’ll gladly…give you my eyeballs. I’ll abstain.”

Sigh!

The moment he absconded with a dazed look on his face, his remaining eyeballs were pulled out by an intangible force.

“Yo, cooking~ poetry, work! I’ll do it, I’ll do it!”

“Me! I’m next!”

Heo Sae-ron jumped up and down, but fortunately, no one challenged her to the game.

It’s only natural that even I, a member of her group, would miss her presence if I didn’t concentrate.

“In order to make intestines, teppanyaki, you need ingredients.”

At that time, the store owner who mentioned the ingredients that Heo Sae-ron ordered grinned as he managed to cook it with one hand.

“Ah! Then take my intestines…Eupeup!?”

“Wait! Stop!”

He stopped Heo Sae-ron, who was trying to open the ship without hesitation.

According to the store rules, you can only rob materials from people who have agreed to it, and robbing without agreement is not permitted.

Since the details of the game were not separately ‘instructed’, this must have been a method decided among the guests to reach a ‘consensus’.

In that case, there would be no need to follow.

“Whoa…”

“Eup-eup? Eup-eup!”

With Heo Sae-ron’s mouth tightly shut, he recalled the store’s rules in detail.

“…Damn.”

The more you think about it, the more vicious the rule becomes.

Since you must order a menu, it is impossible to escape the moment you enter this restaurant, and you must eat dishes made from someone else’s body until you are full.

If your body is damaged in the process, you cannot leave the store because it is not a ‘healthy body’ and you have to rob someone else’s body until your body is healthy.

According to the store’s rules, only ‘non-consensual robbery’ would be specifically pointed out and not permitted, so simple violence and murder would be permitted.

In that case, those who are confident in their power will try to threaten others or create corpses.

Even without thinking too deeply, one can easily picture the hell that will unfold between the guests.

Even if the process takes a long time, hunger comes again and you have to eat to satisfy it.

It is truly a vicious cycle.

One thing I don’t understand is that there are too many customers.

If there were no restrictions on making and using corpses, why on earth were they doing nothing until we arrived?

“hmm…”

I forced myself to stop thinking.

Nowadays, action comes before understanding.

Since you have already lost your finger, you must first satisfy the escape conditions.

Originally, I would have used other people’s bodies like other customers, but I have no intention of jumping into that vicious cycle.

Because my body is a little special.

“Whoa…”

I took my finger out of the glass it was in and placed it on the cut section.

Damn it! Damn it!

I was a little worried, but fortunately it came out okay.

Well, it doesn’t make sense if a severed head can be reattached, but the fingers can’t be reattached.

“Ah! My drink!?”

Eun No-eul, who suddenly lost her finger, looked at her in disbelief, but ignored her.

“good.”

With this, my escape conditions were satisfied.

Because my body is fine, and thanks to the [cries of despair, pain, and grief], I don’t feel any hunger.

Next, I have to take care of my companions… First of all, no one has suffered any physical damage yet.

I was incredibly lucky. really.

If things had gone wrong and the bodies of Heo Sae-ron or Eun No-eul had been cut off, the situation would have been at its worst by now.

From the store owner’s point of view, I made that choice to avoid breaking the rules, to avoid my ‘mirror of resentment’, and to avoid being attacked by customers… but in any case, it ended up being very good for us.

Now all you have to do is satisfy the hunger of your companions.

An idea just occurred to me.

It is unclear whether this will actually work.

“Please, please do it. Please…”

After praying earnestly, I muttered softly.

“…Manish.”

“Kuweeeek!?”

The giant wild boar that appeared looked around in confusion, then rolled its eyes and started running wild.

“Good! That’s it!”

I was worried that the summoning would fail due to interference from this ‘restaurant’, but it doesn’t seem to be necessary.

“Huh!? Huh!? Mr. Han-gil! What did you do just now!? What is that wild boar?”

“Hangil! Are you sure you used your powers? Why on earth…!”

“Eupeup!?”

“Please, trust me and stay still for now!”

Eun-no-eul, who was embarrassed by my shout and showed his wings and tail, and Kwon Gyeong-gu, who was approaching menacingly, suddenly stopped.

“…What on earth are you thinking?”

“Mr. Han-gil, you can’t attack civilians with your abilities? The Management Bureau could step in!”

“Calm down. It’s because of supernatural phenomena.”

“What? What on earth?”

“Hangil. What is a supernatural phenomenon?”

As Kwon Gyeong-gu and Eun No-eul whispered to me in earnest, I shook my head.

“You probably won’t believe it even if you hear it now. So stay tuned.”

“Uhm…”

“……”

They just tilted their heads, looking around with eyes full of distrust.

“Kkuweeeek! Kuuiiik!”

“W-What!? Kwaaah!?”

“Summoning art!? Argh!”

Meanwhile, Manish was randomly attacking the guests with his solid body and massive weight.

“Hey, that bastard! He’s come to his senses!”

At that time, someone pointed at me and shouted.

“what!?”

“That’s a different story! Damn it!”

I don’t know how he noticed, but the other guests’ eyes suddenly changed.

“If you come to your senses, you can’t easily steal your body!”

“Wait a minute, I think he’s the only one whose perception transformation was unlocked?”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s one or two. If you resist, there’s no need for us to be nice to you!”

The monsters that threaten to surround us slowly begin to approach.

“Kyuweek, kuweek…!”

bang! Kwasik!

“This guy is Mannish, right?”

“How did you summon this guy?”

“Whatever it is, it’s a good thing for us. It’s important food. Protect it well so it doesn’t get stolen.”

Surprisingly, Manish was dying at the hands of other monsters.

The number of people harmed by Manish was small enough to be counted on one hand.

“What the…”

The unexpected strength of the monsters makes me break into a cold sweat.

However, I was more concerned about their words than that.

“Wait a minute! Did you guys hear about us from someone? What do you mean by perception change? Could this be a situation that someone was targeting?”

“Do you want to know? Then give me the intestines.”

“I’m an eyeball.”

“I want arms.”

With murderous expressions on their faces, they crouched down or clenched their fists as if they were going to attack at any moment.

“Stop! If you let us go, I’ll summon as many Manishes as you can!”

“What? Can I summon as many times as I want?”

“Yes! You can summon ten or a hundred! No, not only that, you can summon Sahagin! Then, the physical defects will be alleviated to some extent! Maybe everyone in this place will be able to escape the store. There might be!”

“…!”

They look surprised by my words.

“Zu, show me the evidence!”

“That’s right! I can’t believe what you say!”

I nodded heavily at their words.

“Okay. Instead, you can’t summon it while it’s dead. You have to hunt it on your own.”

“No problem! As long as you don’t rob it, you’re allowed to make a body! If that happens, you’re free to use the body!”

“…Sahagin.”

“Kkeeek!?”

As soon as I chanted, a green-scaled Sahagin appeared and roared.

“It’s real!”

“Hold it! That’s mine!”

“Do not be ridiculous!”

“Kyaaa!?”

Kwasik! Quack!

Sahagin was unable to resist much and was torn alive, his limbs torn off and his internal organs scraped out.

“……”

I never imagined that the day would come when Sahagin would look so pitiful.

“You’re sure you saw it, right? Now, feed our group to the full. Then, summon enough Manish and Sahagin on your way out and leave.”

“How can you believe that?”

“Besides, there’s no need for us to listen to your suggestions, right? There are many ways to force us to listen.”

“……”

It glared at the threateningly snarling monsters and created dozens of snouts all over its body.

Damn it! Damn it!

“Do it if you can. You damn monsters. Remember when all your fingers were blown off?”

Ta-dak! Tatakakak! Ta-ga-ga-gak!

When he clashed the teeth of his disgusting and terrible snout and growled, the monsters only glared and did not attack him.

“…Okay. We will accept that offer. If there are those who stand in our way, we will fight together.”

“Damn…what can we do? We accept it.”

“Us too.”

“We will accept it too.”

We started agreeing one by one, and soon all the monsters accepted my proposal.

“Woooo…Okay. Then, since we need to fill our group’s stomachs, I will summon a few Mannishes. Let’s join forces and hunt. Of course, the rest is up to you.”

“good.”

“It’s a surplus business.”

“I’ll summon three first. Is that okay?”

“No problem, just summon it!”

“Mannish can hunt any number of animals at once!”

The monsters growled and nodded, showing their confidence.

“Manish, Manish, Manish.”

“Kuweeeek!”

“Kwiik!?”

“Kuuu!”

“Kill!”

“Kill me!”

Quang! Whoa! Kwazizig!

“Kuuu!?”

The monsters killed Manish in an instant.

“Ahahaha! It’s fun~”

“Hmm… I don’t know what the supernatural phenomenon is. It just looks like Mr. Han-gil is holding an event.”

“Me too. It looks like a lot of fun…”

My group members are enjoying this situation without knowing what is happening.

Is something unfair? Am I the only one who is impatient and anxious? Is this my welcome party?

“…Then, let’s start cooking~”

Cheeek! Cheeek~!

As Manish’s fat-filled intestines and meat go on the grill, a fragrant aroma rises.

“……”

“Wow! That sounds delicious!”

“Not yet? Do I need to learn more?”

“Mmm~ nice smell…”

While all the monsters were watching, our table started grilling meat in a friendly atmosphere.

First of all, I put it on and ate it, but the pressure was so severe that I didn’t even know if it was going into my nose or eyes.

I will pretend to be 100%. this.
