[King Slime Slayer, dissects ‘Vivian’, a rookie from the last temporary warrior promotion test]

[He is the person who built the ice tower on the training center playground. Passing the test was expected from then on.]

[After failing 10 times, was it her current manager who lifted her up?]

[A story of success for an aspiring wizard and a manager who fell to the ground. Is a second Sylvia born?]

The front page of this issue of the monthly magazine was full of praise for Vivian.

Normally, I would have written about other news, but Amos did not allow it.

We only focused on making Vivian stand out.

‘… What should I do? Did I exaggerate too much?’

The problem is the name ‘the second Sylvia’.

I was excited when I delivered the manuscript, but I was afraid of Ian, so I just gave instructions.

But when I actually put it out there, I became afraid that the expression ‘the second Sylvia’ was too much.

I don’t know why, but Ian looks like he left the first party.

Even so, there was no guarantee that the first party would be insensitive to their news.

If they show a similar response to Ian in the past… .

Amos thought it would be better to die.

Or run away to the outskirts where no news can reach.

‘Gwae, you’ll be okay, right? I’m inflating it, it’s not something that happened yesterday or today… . That and! If you think about it! Oh, you look similar to Sylvia!’

A wannabe wizard who is nothing.

He even caught the first slime nicknamed ‘King Slime’ after trying several times and failing.

Doesn’t this have a bigger impact than Sylvia showing up in a flashy manner after catching the Big Slime?

Amos successfully rationalized himself.

[Uncovering the truth about Felix, of whom there were only rumors.]

[Anonymous whistleblower. Felix’s evil deeds and the demise of the Manager’s Guild.]

[Felix, who insulted and ignored Vivian, the king slime slayer. Are his achievements and insight an illusion?]

[A harsh assault to awaken an ordinary boy. Meet the survivor.]

If the front was all about Vivian, the back was all about Felix.

They posted it on a bulletin board and instructed the newspaper sales boys to sell it throughout Superbia.

Felix’s reputation will now sink through the abyss.

Factual description based on documents received from Ian, Ian and Mercy’s testimony, Marie’s accusation, etc.

This is the first part of Killing Felix, made up of only vivid and objective information.

Now Amos no longer feels guilty.

All he had to do was be safe from Ian.

There was nothing more he wanted.

‘No, rather than not having it at all… . It’s already come to this, I hope this incident becomes bigger and my position is strengthened!’

*

Felix, who had checked the newspaper earlier, found Vivian.

He knelt down in front of Ian who greeted him.

Ian looked down at Felix with cold eyes.

Felix, who had his forehead on the floor, trembled pitifully.

“Sin, sorry, I, I… .”

“Ha… .”

Ian’s sigh makes his body tremble even more.

He took out a sugar bar from his pocket and asked.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… .”

Felix felt dizzy and almost crazy.

Where did it all go wrong?

If Philip was Ian, what has the Master done so far?

I wonder if Penny knows this too.

There was no time to calculate such questions.

All I had to do was fall flat on the face of the being in front of me.

“Sa, please save me… . Please, please just this once… .”

“That’s right, you should have lived a good life.”

“I will do that in the future! I will never, ever make the same mistake again… !”

Felix raised his head and pleaded.

However, it was difficult to see hope in Ian’s grumpy expression.

“Hmm… .”

Ian took out a piece of parchment and a quill from his pocket.

– Crunchy.

Write something down without saying anything.

I don’t know what it was, but Felix became anxious and kept pleading.

“Phil… , Ah, no. Well, I don’t know anything… . Please be kind to me, please… .”

“It’s a bit hard to say it with my own mouth.”

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Ian said, chewing on a sugar bar.

“I’m not someone you can listen to to be equal.”

It’s not that he’s not someone who can compete.

This meant that attempts and even thoughts of rivalry were not allowed.

It was an extremely arrogant remark, but the person in front of him deserved it.

Felix nodded, ready to hit the ground.

“Yes, yes… ! you’re right. Please blame my lack of insight… . Because I’m not good at seeing people… .”

“It seems like that. Seeing how he abandoned Vivian like that.”

“… … .”

Felix couldn’t answer.

One by one, he remembered what he had done to her.

– Crunchy.

The sound of the quill pen scratching the parchment felt like my skin was being torn apart.

– Oh-dok-oh-dok.

When my teeth chewed on the sugar bar, it felt like every bone in my body was breaking apart.

“It’s better not to think nonsense. No matter where I go and tell what happened today, no one will believe me. If you go around talking too much, I will take immediate action.”

“Yes, I know… !”

The words were quite gentle compared to the low, cool tone, but every word of the content seemed to tingle.

Felix bowed his head and said that he would just do as he said.

-thud.

After stamping the completed letter, Ian handed it to Felix.

“Take it.”

Felix accepted it politely with both hands.

“This, this… ?”

“The military police will probably come looking for you.”

gendarmerie.

Felix’s body froze.

“Show me when you come. I wrote it not to kill you.”

Does this mean you will save my life?

I couldn’t tell his intentions, but he said thank you.

“Thank you… !”

“This much? Dying is a very comfortable option.”

“… Yes?”

“Did you really think I would just kill you?”

Only one corner of Ian’s mouth went up.

Remove the sugar bar from the corner of your lips and say it as if you are telling an interesting fact.

“Even if you want to die, you can’t. Survive even if you become a half-corpse, and see how far the Vivian you abandoned goes up. Do you understand?”

“… … .”

“I have some familiarity with the military police. I will make sure Vivian’s news is delivered as quickly as possible. I can give you that much consideration.”

“… … .”

Ian said, putting sugar in his mouth again.

“Get out now.”

Felix could not say anything in front of that command.

Just like a broken machine, it got up and creaked and carried out his words.

Ian chuckled as he saw the door closing weakly.

When I found out that the child named Humphrey was alive, I was relieved and fortunate.

But right after that, the thought of knocking Felix out came to mind.

Seeing Felix collapse because the work was successful made me laugh out of relief.

Behind it all, there was also a sinister intention that Vivian would follow me even more because of this.

‘After all, I’m not a good person either.’

*

Ian.

Felix left the building helplessly, holding a document with the stamp of a person known to the public as Philip.

Someone was waiting for him at the entrance, accompanied by a private soldier.

Felix’s dazed gaze shifted to him.

He was a submaster of the Manager’s Guild.

He walked up with long strides and slapped Felix’s cheek with all his might.

-Pfft!

I hit it with my palm, and it sounded like I was hit with a blunt object.

The strength of the assistant manager, a former warrior, was unusual.

Blood and teeth poured out of Felix’s mouth as he fell helplessly.

“Get out.”

The assistant manager let out a short sigh.

He had always looked after Felix, but now there was no need to do so.

Felix had his tail cut off.

“… … .”

I leave the training center and just zone out for a few minutes.

The sound of heavy armor stopped in front of him.

The attention of people around me gathered here.

“This is Military Police Commander Wolfgang.”

In a different way from Ian, he was a fierce and rough-looking man.

Felix looked blankly at the military police armed with black armor.

Wolfgang took out the warrant from his arms and unfolded it.

“As of the current time, your personal affairs are legally vested in the Military Police. We promise that the investigation and execution will be conducted fairly and in accordance with procedures.”

Felix just listened to the story blankly.

In fact, I wasn’t even listening.

Letters that only contain sounds have no meaning in the mind.

“There will be a brief search of your belongings before transfer.”

Wolfgang gave instructions to his subordinates with a nod.

Soon the two soldiers were searching various parts of Felix’s body.

All that came out was a dagger and a manager’s license.

And it was a document that he held in his hand.

Wolfgang took the document, read it, and laughed.

“Ian too. Because you have such a good personality.”

He raised his head as if to see Ian at the training camp.

Of course, I couldn’t see him, but I felt glad that he was there.

“It’s been a while since I wanted to say hello, but I can’t help it since you’re busy. I also forgot to tell you that key officials, including the chief of Arke Village, were executed… .”

Even when I mentioned Arche Village, Felix did not react.

Wolfgang handed the documents to his subordinate and patted Felix on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry. The military police do not commit unfair acts.”

A rumor crossed Felix’s dazed mind.

The military police’s treatment methods are nothing short of extravagant and cruel.

However, there are times when you cannot kill the opponent.

I heard somewhere that at times like that, it makes you feel like you would rather die.

A life that you would rather end on your own.

That was Ian’s decision to kill Felix.

“Lead the way.”

Following Wolfgang’s orders, two soldiers led Felix.

Felix was just dragged along without any intention of resisting.

Although they were afraid of the military police, people glanced at Felix.

The conspiracy against him disturbed his ears like an auditory hallucination.

***

Since the military police were notified through Mercy in the morning, Felix must have been taken away quickly.

We also sent you a detailed montage, so you won’t miss anything.

With Felix out of the way, is it time to go to MacDerlin Abbey?

First, I have to inform Kati at Agnes Monastery.

I was sent to pick up the three children along with Vivian and Mercy.

Vivian was also angry when she heard of Felix’s evil deed, but she did not want to show that she was sending people into trouble.

More than that, I still feel uncomfortable telling Vivian all of my personal information.

‘Carty.’

[yes. master.]

‘it’s over. ‘Where?’

[Mercy spoke with the abbot.]

‘okay. Leave Vivian to say hello. ‘I’ll go there.’

[All right.]

[…] Please come quickly.]

‘Are you going to be late?’

[…] … .]

‘I’ll be going soon.’

There was no luggage in the room, so I just took the key and left.

I haven’t returned the keys yet due to the deadline.

The price of the magic stone was already paid at 1 gold after tax.

Normal lowest level magic stones originally cost 1 silver each.

After tax, you get 90 bronze, and if you divide it between party members and calculate the settlement ratio with the manager, the price per person drops even further.

However, the lowest level magic stone was paid 100 times more just because it caught a king slime.

In Korean currency, it’s about 10 million won?

I don’t even know if it’s worth that much money.

However, I only heard that the magic tower paid a high price for research purposes.

The wizards there are crazy about new things.

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with having a lot of money, so it was good.

Vivian will finally receive her first payment.

*

Vivian, Mercy, and Kati had just come out of the monastery.

Vivian’s eyes were red, as if she had been crying at the thought of not being able to see her children for a while.

I expected that, but there was something else that surprised me.

The point is that Katy greeted Emma, who came out in a panic.

“Hello.”

“… ! Yes, thank you… !”

Emma also bowed in surprise, probably because she hadn’t expected it.

“Ho… .”

Mercy looked at Katy next to me with interest.

“What did I just see? Did something happen between you two?”

“While you were away, Kati trained a child named Emma.”

“Kathiga?”

“Yes, yes. It seemed like I was persuaded by the words that I wanted to become strong for the sake of someone important to me.”

“… Ah.”

Vivian may no longer need Emma’s help, but she doesn’t want to remain weak.

I know how you feel.

“Is it good? A precious person?”

“Noisy. Anyway, I live and live and see all sorts of things happen.”

“That’s right. It’s something to live for a long time.”

“… If you are going to live a long time, how long will it be?”

“A guy who has no manners towards ladies!”

-match!

Kati, who was far away, suddenly approached and blocked Mercy’s back smash.

“Eight, really!”

Mercy couldn’t help but kick the floor in frustration.

Emma burst out laughing as she saw the ridiculousness of that situation.

*

“Have you arranged the carriage?”

Mercy, sitting on his shoulder, answered.

“Yes, yes. I looked into it in advance. Just go out through the south gate.”

hmm. Good job.

I ordered this and that today and Mercy seems to be in a better mood than usual.

There won’t be as many things to do in the future as there are today, so I need to find out something… .

“Stir… . Ian?”

“Yes, Vivian.”

“How did Felix… Are you done?”

“Ah, I took him to the upper level of the manager guild and reported him. There was someone who recognized me. Thanks to you, I was able to hand it over to the military police.”

“Huh, military police?! Ian can even move to the military police… .”

It subtly hits the nail on the head.

Although it may be worth the military police’s intervention, it is not easy to move immediately.

The story behind it is that it moved straight away for a different reason.

“Well, it was resolved well. Do you think the military police force is being too harsh?”

If it’s Vivian’s mentality, that might be the case.

“No way. If you think about what Felix did to Humphrey, it’s okay if he suffers worse than that.”

It’s a bit scary to say something like that while smiling sweetly… .

“Thank you. If it wasn’t for Ian, I wouldn’t have been able to respond at all… . I get help every time.”

“Something like this.”

Vivian’s smile quickly disappeared.

The corners of his eyes drooped as if he was worried.

“Are you worried about anything?”

“Yes? Ah, rather than worrying… . I just thought of the kids. Because I couldn’t stay with Humphrey, Laura, and Daisy for long.”

When I think of my children, it’s natural to think that way.

Because Vivian really cared about children.

“Are you sad?”

“Yes? Oh, no. It’s okay.”

The answer and facial expression are separate.

… What if, really what if.

If Vivian later no longer wants to do this and wants to go back.

What should I do then?

Probably, even if you don’t want to do it, I’ll say it.

I realized this based on the precedent of the first party.

In a situation where your mind has already left, no matter what you try, it’s just pouring water into a bottomless pit.

“If you have any regrets, please tell me. Because I can listen to you.”

“… Yes?”

Vivian was silent for a long time after hearing what I said.

Then he suddenly crossed his arms and pouted his lips.

“… I’m sad.”

“Yes?”

“Hmph… .”

… Uh, wait.

Are you upset now?

No, I didn’t mean to say that… .

“I don’t know, I feel sad… .”

Uh, what should I do… .

“I’m sad… .”

Vivian’s voice was watery.

“Uh… .”

“Oh my, you sinful man… .”

Mercy taps her forehead! He hit and lamented.

It’s a bit cowardly to bring it up at a time like this, but it can’t be helped.

“Hey, Vivian?”

“… Yes.”

The answer is blunt.

I put a gold coin in her hand and threw it away.

“… What is it?”

“1 gold. Vivian earned it.”

“Yes?”

“The price of the magic stone plate. I received it yesterday and kept it. It’s 1 gold after tax.”

“This, I, this, 1 gold… Yes?”

Vivian stopped and calculated its value.

“1 gold, well, I get 1 gold at a time, so… .”

Perhaps due to overload, I passed out.

“Oh… .”

“Are you going to make me faint now?”

“What did I do?”

Kati carried Vivian on her back and took her to the carriage.

The carriage ran straight towards MacDerlin Abbey in the southeast.

In the meantime, I used memory correction to see if there was any useful information.

I wish I had something… .

[Memory Correction]

Soon, two scenes rushed into my mind.
