episode_0086

Seolhee, Su-a, and Su-yeon decided to take turns sleeping here with me every day, and the person who decided to sleep with me today was Su-a.

“Everyone get in safely!”

“Sometimes, when I go to the 8th floor to harass the emperor, Su-ah, you have to come too.”

“Yes!”

The three women closed the door after their last bloody conversation.

“Hehe..”

Now the only people left here were me, Sua, and Nyamu, who was sleeping in my arms.

“Being alone with my brother like this makes me feel like a newlywed couple.”

Su-a smiles brightly, her face turning red as if she is embarrassed.

“Do you like it that much?”

“Yes!”

Unlike Su-yeon and Seol-hee, who vowed to imprison me for six months, I felt a little healed when I saw Su-a smiling innocently.

“Oppa.”

“Huh?”

“I will untie the rope tied to your leg, so you cannot run away.”

“…I love you.”

“Really, oppa, if you run away, I’ll get scolded..!”

“I really love you.”

I kissed Su-ah’s mouth and tried to enjoy the happiness of finally being able to walk more naturally…

“eup!!”

“..Don’t overdo it, you’ll get hurt.”

“Why can’t this be solved..?”

“…That’s right.”

In the end, Su-ah, who was whining without being able to untie the rope tied to her leg, gave up trying and lay down next to me.

“It seemed difficult to walk all day today, so I was going to let you off the hook… I’m sorry.”

“What do you have to be sorry for?”

“…Then who was at fault?!”

“Hmm..? So… um…”

Suah’s question was just a joke, but her question made me worry a lot.

“Um…. It’s my fault in the end, right?”

“Yes?”

Su-ah opens her eyes in confusion at the unexpected answer and looks back at me.

“Did you do something wrong? Now that I think about it, I don’t know why my brother is imprisoned here. Can you tell me?”

“Hmm? Didn’t Seolhee-noona explain it to you earlier?”

“My brother can’t use magical powers, so it’s dangerous, and he also said that if I leave him outside, a lot of women will get attracted to him, but actually, I didn’t think there was anything he would do to this extent for that reason.”

“…”

When I thought about it, it was like that.

Sooyeon’s position was that she thought that I would inevitably die if I entered the 9th or 10th floor, or perhaps she had already seen a future in which I would die and was trying to stop me somehow.

But Suana and Seolhee were different.

Su-a doesn’t know the reason right now, so if she’s genuinely curious as to why I have to be imprisoned here…

” Now that I think about it… Why did Seolhee noona want me to be here? ”

“Yes?”

Why does Seolhee really want me to be trapped here?

“…A.. No way..”

at that time.

A hypothesis suddenly passes through my head.

“Chivalric Lauriel.”

“…?”

“Ah.. That’s right, I can’t use the skill.”

“Oppa, if you run away.. it won’t work..?”

“No, no, I wasn’t running away, I was just trying to check something, I’m sorry if I made you anxious. How far were we talking?”

“The story was something like what did my brother do wrong to be here.”

“Hmm.. It’s roughly because of my skills. Just like I used the skill in exchange for Suyeon’s memories. Just as I’m using skills at the cost of my magic power, I’m going to use my life at some point, haha…”

I just made up excuses here and there that came to mind.

If Su-yeon’s regression was honestly revealed, wouldn’t Su-ah be in too much danger?

“…Oppa, be honest. There are skills that cost your life, right?”

I didn’t know what Su-ah said might be right.

I also thought that if the price was not my life, but if I was willing to sacrifice my life, it might be enough.

“..Maybe that’s right.”

That’s right, when the woman in front of me is in danger, I will save Su-ah even if it means exchanging my life.

“I can’t do that. I can’t bear to see my brother die in my place…! Oppa, how about we just live here for the rest of our lives until the tower ends? Even if you’re tied up with a rope, you can do it.”

“.. Not to mention, you have no right to say something like that, Su-ya..”

“Yes?”

I pressed my lips to Sua’s mouth, who was looking at me with a serious expression.

I remember.

The day I accidentally stabbed her in the heart.

A woman who poured out her power for me even as she was dying.

“When I thought about it again, I thought it wouldn’t be that bad if I was locked up with you. I love you.”

“…!”

Su-ah’s face blushed at my sudden confession.

“Uh…Uh…”

From this point on, I began to think about my confinement again.

Do I really need to get out of here?

That’s right…

There are people around me like Seolhee, Suyeon, and Suah who care about me so much, so there’s no reason for me to worry about them.

“Huh♥?! Now, just a moment, oppa…!”

“Shh. I’m sleeping.”

“Hmm..! Umm..♥”

..

Late evening.

Thanks to Su-a, who managed not to utter a sound, the unfortunate incident of Nyamu waking up did not happen.

“Haa…haa…♥ It’s really too much…♥”

“Wash up quickly.”

“…Who is this because of…!”

Su-ah, who was pounding her chest, saw that the blanket was already wet here and there because she was sleeping, so she blushed and ran to the bathroom.

I can hear the sound of water in the bathroom.

As I was taking up the blanket to wash the one I had with Su-ah, I continued the thought I was having earlier.

After going through Sage Time, I had a clear idea.

I had to get out, but I thought there was no need to escape from here right now, and there was a box I received from Lauriel as a reward for clearing the 5th floor.

‘Seolhee opened the box that Lauriel received as a reward on the 5th floor.’

As a result, when Seolhee’s sister collapsed.

Suyeon explained that this was an ability related to awakening and that the body intentionally turned itself off to adapt to it.

Yes, awakening.

‘Either the body is strengthened, the skills are strengthened, or… the magic power increases…’

However, the current Seolhee noona showed nothing like that.

I didn’t use any new skills, and my physical abilities didn’t improve noticeably compared to the past.

That means…

perhaps..

‘Did Seolhee know that Suyeon was a regressor?’

What did Seolhee see in the reward?

If you think about it, it was like that.

The speed at which I accepted Suyeon and the speed at which I was allowed to date Suyeon was too fast.

After Suyeon left, even though she resented me and had a hard time, she showed signs of accepting Suyeon very early on.

“No, that doesn’t make sense.”

If Seolhee had known about Suyeon’s return, something big would have happened already.

How long was Seol-hee and Su-yeon together?

“Wait a minute.”

“Even now, sometimes on the Internet, there are rumors that I am a regressor.”

Suyeon said. Even now, there are sometimes rumors circulating on the Internet that Soo-yeon is a regressor.

I quickly picked up my phone and searched the Internet for the phrase ‘Jeong Soo-yeon’s return.’

—

[Is Jeong Soo-yeon actually a regressor?]

That’s why it was so fucking strong from the 0th floor.

The reason I initially quit Hyeseong Gilma was actually because I didn’t like it.

Can’t you tell just by looking at the names that keep appearing in strategies 5, 6, 7, and 8?

=[Comment]=

– Stop acting like old fashioned rice cake. It’s not fun.

– Yes, this is Hyeseong Guild Master Park Hye-rin.

ㄴ The official first place is also Park Hye-rin~

ㄴ Haha, this time, the 5th, 6th, and 8th floors were also defeated by Slow. So, isn’t Slow a returner?

– Actually, in the beginning, she was all aggressive, but it is true that she ran away because she was pushed by Park Hye-rin. How can she be a regressor?

– Curve regression seems to be correct.

ㄴ Go to the science department.

If you check the nickname of the author of the post and look up his activity history, you can see that this person was commenting in the community until 5 minutes ago.

‘I knew he was a returner, but why didn’t he die?’

A curse that says you will die if you find out you are a returner.

‘…..Is it okay if I just show the tee in front?’

Then a scene passes through my head.

“What? A regressor? Ahhh!! Lauriel!!!”

“…Huh?”

Something came to mind.

Thanks to Su-Ah, the memories that had been locked in my head began to be suppressed.

‘little bit more…’

I felt like I needed to remember just a little bit more, so I hurriedly raided the bathroom where Su-ah was showering.

“Suaya!”

“Aaagh!”

“Suaya!”

“What, what, what?!”

“Hurry!”

“No!”

.

I was standing in front of the bathroom, hugging Nyamu, who had woken up with a wet and surprised expression.

After a while, the bathroom door opens with warm heat.

“…What did you do that for?”

“Can you help me release the memories locked in my head?”

“Ah.. Do you have any memories related to Suyeon?”

“Yes.”

“Didn’t you say it hurt a lot?”

“…I need to remember something really important.”

“I understand. I’ll just go change my clothes in a moment. Wait for me in bed.”

As Su-ah said, I lay down on the bed and waited for her.

After a while, she changed into her pajamas and came into the room, holding my hand with one hand and putting her hand on my head with the other.

“Oppa, if the pain is so unbearable, you need to tell me.”

“Thank you. I’ll ask you a favor right now.”

“Yes.”

As soon as Su-ah answered, I began to absorb magical energy as if I was extracting magical energy from her hand that was resting on my head.

Just as the memories that had been suppressed by multiple layers of locks were being opened one by one, Su-ah was slowly unlocking them one by one.

“It’s over.”

“Already?”

“Yes. If you have a headache again, you must tell us.”

“Okay.”

“I will kiss your lips right away and your memory will be locked again.”

“..Looking at it now, it doesn’t seem like lip contact is really necessary?”

“Required.”

“..I will believe it.”

With his final answer, he handed Nyamu that was in his arms to Su-ah and closed his eyes to organize his memories.

The last memory I will recall from now on is the last memory of the third floor.

“What? A regressor? Ahhh!! Lauriel!!!”

It was a scream mixed with screams that I heard as soon as I used chivalry on someone.

I couldn’t remember who that person was, but I was able to easily infer that this was Suyeon, who I didn’t remember.

All of my memories of her disappeared as if they had been edited, but if I remembered that I had used chivalry like this, I could know that Suyeon was there.

There was even a scene where Lauriel appeared out of thin air and hit the old man on the third floor with a mace, blowing him up.

‘If they find out you’re a returner… they’ll kill you.’

Apparently, the old man died as soon as he realized that Su-yeon was a returnee.

So… what is the difference between the old man, Seolhee’s sister, and the person who asked the community if Suyeon was a returnee…
