episode_0053

We held repeated countermeasures meetings, but as expected, no solution was found.

666 was busy making rules with other constellations, so it was still ignoring my comment.

“…Should I at least write a will in advance?”

“Well, don’t do that, Hangil oppa. It feels realistic for no reason…”

“There must be a way. Don’t give up.”

My companions tried their best to comfort me, but honestly, no matter how hard I tried, there seemed to be no way to overcome this situation.

“Whoa, calm down. Oppa Han-gil. But the situation is better than before.”

“…is it?”

[Holding on for 100 million years in the space of nothingness]

[Transmission waiting time: 21 hours 56 minutes 47 seconds]

“……”

no? I don’t think so?

Doesn’t it seem like I’m going to die no matter what?

If you look at the process, it seems to have become even more terrible.

“…I resent you, you constellation bastards. Why did you come into my life…!”

Bubbly!

69 I felt the resentment and hatred I felt when I argued with Sahagin on the fantasy desert island of Earth starting to burn again.

Or, it is comparable to my desire for revenge against Averill Hinds, who cut off my head.

“Whoa…”

Basically, my personality is laid-back and easy-going.

I don’t get emotional easily, so I am confident that I can live my life stress-free.

There have only been two times in my life when I was truly motivated to fight and was motivated by resentment and hatred, and that was when I was killed by Sahagin and Averil Hinds.

death.

It is a destination that, although it is not a big deal when you actually experience it, it is bound to give you a huge shock when you relive it and think about it. It is a destination that should have been impossible to even express your feelings about.

If you experience something like that a few times, no matter how easy-going and simple-minded you are, you will become filled with hatred and a desire for revenge like a spinal reflex.

But even though the Constellations did not kill me directly, they still managed to do it.

amazing! Constellations!

Before, even though it was an opportunity, it didn’t feel direct or intentional, so I didn’t really resent it, but from now on, it’s different.

“Phew, you damn constellations…!”

“Oh, brother. Calm down.”

“We’ll find a way, okay?”

As I was grinding my teeth, Saeron and Noeul desperately tried to comfort me.

Hyeong-gyeong, Retel, and Lael were also restlessly watching.

“…ah.”

I made a mistake.

I didn’t want this kind of atmosphere.

“…Sorry. I lost my temper a little.”

“No, I understand. It’s totally possible.”

“That’s right! I probably did the same!”

“100 million years seems too distant…”

-I can’t even imagine.

I can feel the hatred that was boiling over slowly subsiding from their understanding words and facial expressions.

Hmm, it seems like it’s become harder to control my emotions than on the deserted island… I’m sure it’s not because of [Cries of despair, pain, and grief] and ‘Mirror of Resentment’.

“Brother. Should we take a break first? I think we need to take a breather and think slowly.”

“Ah, I guess so. My eyes and hands seem to hurt from looking at the letters for a long time while typing…”

“Oppa Han-gil! Do you have any snacks? Something sweet!”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t stock up on snacks… Don’t desserts get delivered these days? Let’s order that. You can order as much as you want. I’ll buy it for you.”

“Really!? Then you really choose everything!?”

“Of course. Order as many as you want. This might be the last delivery.”

“……”

“What about everyone else? Do you want to eat something? Should I order chicken? I’m in the mood for a late-night snack.”

“Ahaha…chicken is good.”

When Hyung-gyeong agreed, he immediately took out his smartphone.

“Should I order beer while I’m at it? If possible, I’d like to have chicken and beer as my last meal.”

“Well, Hangil. Is there really a need to add a negative label?”

Letel scolds me with a sullen expression.

“…I’m sorry. I was kind of joking, but it doesn’t seem to work because of the situation.”

“A joke like that in a situation like this is a bit…”

“Oppa Hangil. Don’t make jokes from now on. It’s hard to react.”

“It’s too much…”

As I lowered my head sullenly, Rael slowly approached me.

-Don’t worry. Mr. Hangil. Everything will be fine. Even if you fail and die, death is not the end.

“The ghost speaks so persuasively…”

-Even if you die in another dimension, I will definitely find you and make you like me.

“You mean that in a good way, right…? It’s not a curse, is it?”

-Oh, by the way, this is a completely unrelated story, but in our world, there is a ceremony called a ‘soul wedding’. It’s about creating an eternal soul mate. Isn’t it romantic?

“It exists in our dimension too, but…”

For some reason, I smiled awkwardly as I looked at Rael, whose eyes were sparkling with enthusiasm.

“You know, it’s late. Can’t I just go to Hangil’s house and sleep over today?”

“Saeron. Anyway, that’s a bit…”

When Noeul looks embarrassed, her eyes widen.

“Huh? Oppa Han-gil. Is it not possible? I came here with that in mind from the beginning?”

“Noel?”

“No, isn’t it obvious? There won’t be much time left anyway. I was prepared to stay up all night discussing countermeasures together.”

“Well, logically it’s true, but…”

As I was hesitating, Retel, who was quietly watching, had a mischievous look on his face.

“Aha, Han-gil, you’ve never let a woman sleep in your house before? Is that why you’re embarrassed?”

“…I’ve never let a woman sleep in my house, but it’s a bit different from being embarrassed. Well…I drink alcohol anyway, so if an accident happens…”

“What!? Puhahahaha! What are you talking about? If you drink with a man and a woman, do accidents happen? Huh? Is that something like that?”

“…Isn’t that right? It said so on the internet.”

“Ahahahahaha!”

“Hahahahahahaha!”

“Fuhahahaha!”

My companions burst out laughing at my one word and roll around holding their bellies.

No, that’s too much!

“Fuheup! Hehehehe…! Ha, Han-gil oppa. Was it Mosol-ada?”

“Saeron. That’s a very negative and sharp tone. Would you say ‘someone who hasn’t been in a relationship yet’? It’s not that you couldn’t do it, but it feels like you haven’t done it.”

“Puhahahahahaha!”

“Ahahahaha! Heeeek! My stomach, my stomach is pulling so hard I feel like I’m going to die…!”

I looked around at my companions who were laughing like crazy and sighed.

Yes, this is much better than the droopy atmosphere like before.

It’s a bit weird to say that I’ve become a clown, but I’m also the reason the atmosphere is down, so it’s a plus or minus zero.

“Whoop, whoop… Oh, brother. Can we have a drink? You’re not going to suddenly turn into a wolf, right?”

When Noeul playfully tapped my shoulder, I tilted my head as if I was genuinely puzzled.

“What do you mean? This body has been a wolf since it was born.”

“Kyahahahahahaha!”

I smiled with satisfaction as I watched her fall so far back.

In a completely relaxed atmosphere, we chatted happily, ate delivered chicken and beer, and even enjoyed sweet desserts.

Because of the situation, we didn’t drink until we got drunk, but it was still very fun to laugh and talk together with red faces.

After having so much fun, when I came to my senses, it was almost midnight.

“Aren’t you all tired? Should we sleep now?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“You’re sleeping? We have to have meetings all night long.”

My companions objected to my words as if they were puzzled.

Hmm, thinking about it like this, I can understand the feelings of the teacher who was running around trying to put the kids to bed during the school field trip.

…is it a little different?

“But there’s no clear way, right? Meeting doesn’t provide an answer, so let’s take a break for now.”

“…Oppa. The one who is more urgent than anyone else right now is you, so why are you so relaxed?”

“That’s right. Shouldn’t you rather urge your brother to have a meeting?”

I laughed awkwardly at Noeul and Saeron’s words.

In fact, what they say is correct.

But honestly, it was a bit burdensome to do that.

I’m not used to receiving something for free from someone.

Maybe it’s because I’ve never had anything like this in my life.

Moreover, the reason I can relax like this is because I am secretly confident.

“hmm…”

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to reveal to them the source of my confidence.

“Actually, I have a last resort.”

“Last resort?”

“Yes. It is possible to move between dimensions using points. It is a bit expensive, but if it doesn’t work out, I plan to use it to escape.”

“What!? If something like that happened, you should have told me a long time ago! You lost money by worrying!”

“That’s right! Then what was that serious atmosphere just now!?”

I laughed awkwardly at their harsh words with a slightly unfair look.

“I’m sorry. But I just remembered it too. I thought I’d never use it again, so I erased it from my head.”

It really was.

Therefore, I also realized the strangeness of the ‘dimensional travel ticket’ too late.

“Oh, really…”

“So, let’s get some sleep now. We’ll have a countermeasures meeting tomorrow.”

As I urged myself not to show the anxiety in my heart, my companions looked troubled.

“Uhm…”

“What should I do? Sister Noeul.”

Noeul stared at me for a moment, then sighed and nodded.

“Okay. Well then. I’ve been drinking so I don’t think I’ll be able to do anything anymore today… Hangil oppa. Do you have any leftover toothbrushes? If not, go to the convenience store and get one.”

“Ah. There is.”

“Oh, you’re thoroughly prepared? Then do you have a change of clothes?”

“Huh? Clothes? I only have my clothes?”

“It’s okay. I think it’s better to wear something a little loose when sleeping.”

Noeul raises the corner of her mouth and puts her lips to the ear.

“Actually, I sleep naked, but I can’t do that at your house, right?”

“……”

My heart was pounding loudly, but I desperately tried to suppress it so as not to show it.

“Uh, well, then what…”

However, no matter how much I tried to suppress it, I couldn’t stop my voice from shaking.

I think it’s harder because I’m drunk.

“Sister! Let’s take a shower together! The bathroom is large, so I think we can all take a shower together!”

“Uhm, I guess so?”

“Yay! Take a bath with the sunset!”

“Retel. You are separate.”

“Why!? I don’t like it! I’ll definitely go in with you!”

As the three women headed to the bathroom, Gyeong-gyeong and I, who were left in the living room, looked at each other awkwardly.

“Hmm, should we clean up after ourselves?”

“Ah, yes. Let’s do it.”

-We will help you.

Oh, now that I think about it, Lael was there too.

-I’m just telling you this just in case.

Rael, who was insinuating himself lucky by using his telekinetic powers to carelessly remove the trash, glares sharply at us.

– Stealing is not allowed.

“Don’t look!”

“What on earth are you looking at us for!?”

-Oh my, weren’t you a wolf from birth?

“Ugh…!”

Since I had nothing to say in response, I kept my mouth shut and Rael giggled.

***

There were two rooms in this house besides mine, so Gyeong-hyung decided to sleep in one and Noeul, Saeron, Retel, and Rael slept in the other.

…But does Rael sleep too? It’s a ghost?

“Whoa…”

As I lay alone on the bed in my room, my sense of reality began to return little by little.

[Holding on for 100 million years in the space of nothingness]

[Transmission waiting time: 18 hours 29 minutes 30 seconds]

Tomorrow, I will be dragged into a space of nothingness or something and will have to endure for 100 million years.

“……”

No, the more I think about it, the more ridiculous it becomes.

100 million years is no joke.

The saying is 100 million years, but it is overwhelming to think that it can actually endure that.

Is that even possible in the first place? I think my life will end before then.

Could it be that 666 only selects Jangsaengjong when selecting apostles?

In a fantasy world, there might be creatures with that kind of lifespan.

For example, a dragon, an elf…

“What are you thinking about…let’s just sleep.”

I tried my best to ignore the feeling of anxiety creeping up and closed my eyes.

In fact, I said that the ‘dimensional travel ticket’ was a last resort, but I couldn’t guarantee that it would always work, and I had already discovered something strange and disturbing, so my trust was slightly broken.

“…What happened?”

I clearly stated that the destination was ‘District 44’ when I used that ticket.

That’s how they came back, and according to Noeul’s reasoning, this is not District 44.

“So this isn’t District 44, but where on earth is it?”

It feels like I’m experiencing some kind of ghost story, which gives me a little chills.

Hmm…I guess I’ll have to tell Noeul about this. Let’s remember and don’t forget.

“Oppa… are you sleeping?”

“Yes!?”

When I thought of Noeul’s face, I heard Noeul’s voice and my eyes opened.

For a moment, I thought it was a hallucination, but she was sticking her head out through the crack in the room door.

“Uh, uh…what’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

“No, it’s not like that… I just wanted to make you comfortable for a moment.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

As I raise my upper body in confusion, she smiles mischievously and comes in silently and closes the door.

“……”

The room was dark, but just the light coming in from outside the window made me take a deep breath to see her beautiful and captivating figure.

As I was wearing my clothes, the glimpse of pure white skin through the loose sleeves seemed like a heart-stopping sight, but the missing top fashion, with the hem of the top down to the thighs, made it impossible to look down.

“Ehehe… Oppa. Even if I look like this, I’m still a succubus queen, right? Well, I was forced to do it, so I’m immature, but…”

Her chest often shakes violently as she walks, unlike usual.

…You’re not wearing underwear.

Wow, this is crazy.

“Well, well, so…?”

“I’ll make you have good dreams. In terms of mental care.”

“Ah…a dream?”

“Huh? The reaction is kind of bland? Did you expect anything else?”

“Uh, huh!? No? Not at all? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Eunno-eul climbs onto the bed with a small smile.

The movement is more bewitching and captivating than necessary.

“Now. Lie down, brother.”

“It’s sudden, but…yeah, I understand.”

“Do you have any dreams you’d like to have?”

“Uh…I don’t have anything in particular?”

“Really? Then, do you want me to at least dream about doing dirty things with you?”

“…Don’t say that even as a joke, Noeul.”

“Isn’t it a joke? My brother can allow that much. It’s just a dream anyway, so what?”

“……”

The words, ‘Then do it then.’ were all in my throat, but I managed to hold them back.

Even I am embarrassed by my own sudden impulse.

“Cookuk, now…close your eyes comfortably, brother.”

Before she knew it, she had taken out a pair of horns, wings, and a tail and began to emit pink energy.

As that energy seeps into the body, an irresistible souma comes.

Obviously, forced sleep is considered a status abnormality, so why does [Cry of Despair, Pain, and Grief] not activate?

With that question in mind, my consciousness fell endlessly.

***

How long did you sleep?

“…!!”

I finally woke up from my dream.

It was clearly a nightmare, but strangely enough, my consciousness and body were extremely peaceful.

Is it because of Noeul’s abilities?

…No, it definitely gave me good dreams, didn’t it? Why did I have a nightmare?

“Huuu…!”

Moreover, I had as many as three types of nightmares.

A dream that Rael mentioned about being born as the daughter of the Count Calixena, being attacked by the Holy See, and finally being killed by her own father.

A dream of becoming an ‘office worker’ at a ‘terrible large corporation’ and praising God.

And finally, the dream of a woman who appears to be the former owner of [cries of despair, pain, and grief].

“……”

Come to think of it, I haven’t had this kind of dream for a while since the rescue restaurant.

I feel like I did it all at once this time.

“Ugh, Aang…!”

“…?”

While I was in a daze, unable to escape the lingering effects of the dream, I heard a strange sound right next to me.

It feels like there’s some kind of warm heat coming through…what is it? Am I still in a dream?

“Ha, haaaa…! Ugh…! Aang…!”

When I glanced back, I saw Noeul with a red face crouching next to me and squirming.

Her hands were stuck tightly between her plump thighs.

“……”

As soon as I realized the situation, a cold sweat broke out.

No, why is he doing this here!?

In order not to show that I had woken up, I closed my eyes tightly and forced myself to breathe regularly.

“……”

What do we do. I want to go to the bathroom.
