episode_0087

The white T-shirt, jeans, beige coat, and black handbag hanging from his shoulder were clearly of the Earth.

Even though it was an outfit that had no special reason, Deltan was taken aback.

That’s because the person wearing that is Agnes.

This is because she is a person who should not exist in this scene.

‘What… .’

I’m clearly seeing a hallucination of Earth, so why does Agnes appear?

And that too while wearing the clothes of Earth.

The moment he let out a laugh at the absurdity, information was overwritten in Deltan’s mind.

With crackling auditory hallucinations.

‘… This is the Earth after everything has ended.’

Agnes has come to Earth with him and is adjusting to life here.

Today is the day we promised to eat together after work… It is a ‘setting’.

To put it another way, the fantasy was urging me not to come out of it, saying, ‘What is this kind of life like?’

Deltan narrowed his eyes and looked at Agnes.

Agnes walked over and extended her hand to Deltan, pressing her index finger between his eyes.

“I frown again. I heard it creates wrinkles.”

The grinning smile was something I had always seen.

The relaxed tone of voice and the sensation of her skin were also realistic.

“Let’s go, how long are you going to stay blank?”

Agnes stood next to her and crossed her arms.

I don’t know how they made it so tight that it felt uncomfortable to walk on, but Deltan momentarily lost his sense of reality when he felt her breasts touching his forearms and her body.

At that moment, the scene changed.

Haaa!

The scene is distorted and reassembled, and the completed space is a restaurant.

The place I sat was by the window, and the restaurant seemed to be in a high-rise building, and the lights of the city under the night sky were twinkling outside the window.

The doctor’s gown had already changed into a suit.

Agnes rested her chin and was absorbed in the scenery outside the window.

“This place seems so amazing.”

“… What.”

“It’s that bright even at night. And the sky is so pitch black that you can’t even see the stars.”

Agnes muttered for a moment and then spoke.

“I feel like it’s a different world.”

Deltan’s fingertips trembled.

Agnes giggled.

“Well, there was that day when you asked me to go with you and explained this to you. Honestly, I didn’t believe you. Right? In a world where everything is bright day and night, there is no magic, but a civilization has developed that feels like a primitive system. Because it’s not a trustworthy story.”

Agnes raised her wine glass.

He took a sip, closed his eyes, savored it, and then added with a smile.

“It’s still like that to this day. It makes me think that I might still be dreaming.”

Deltan looked at the wine.

Among red wines, it was a mid-priced wine that he particularly enjoyed drinking.

I absent-mindedly took a sip and Agnes continued.

“If you hadn’t been by my side, I wouldn’t have believed until the end. That I came back to life and am with you like this.”

“This is a dream.”

“It’s like a dream.”

The waitress brought out the food.

It was a steak.

Agnes picked up a fork and knife and began to cut the meat, and the etiquette she had learned as an aristocrat was evident in her actions.

It was an act that blurred the sense of reality.

“That’s right. I liked the song you recommended.”

“… What did I recommend?”

“What I heard was a classic. I wanted to search more, but electronic devices were difficult. I can’t even use a computer at all. I think you should tell me more.”

“… .”

“And we decided to go to a concert on the weekend. Have you set aside time?”

Deltan was no longer looking at Agnes.

I just looked at the steak while holding the wine glass in my right hand.

‘It’s a hallucination.’

That Agnes was a fake, elaborately sculpted based on her own memories.

The reason why the Deltans did not take any action despite knowing the truth was because they had concerns that came to mind.

‘This is what I want?’

Deltan’s brows narrowed.

This is clearly a space where desires are realized.

The mechanism was to read the psychology of the person entering and print it out.

In other words, this is a scene in one’s mind.

“Deltain?”

“… No.”

Deltan glared at Agnes with a frown.

“I never wanted it. Something like this.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Agnes tilted her head and asked in a worried tone.

“… Do you still remember it? Things that happened there.”

“What?”

“Umm… .”

Agnes’ expression became clouded.

She hesitated and thought about it, but soon added more.

“… Every once in a while, you have a nightmare. So I went to a psychiatrist.”

Information is added again.

It has now been 6 months since I returned.

He lived with Agnes, and he suffered from occasional flashbacks of events on the continent and battles with demons.

PTSD.

It was an anxiety that came from the fact that I was no longer able to use magic and could no longer face the devil.

My symptoms improved after taking medication prescribed by a psychiatrist for a while, and Agnes was a great help in that process.

Rattling.

Agnes put down the knife.

“Let’s stop for today. It would be best to take a break.”

The Deltans knew what would happen after this.

If you go home together, wash with warm water, and lie down in bed, Agnes will hug you.

He patted my back and hummed a tune, and if I focused on that, I fell into a deep sleep.

Agnes got up and put on her coat.

Haaa!

The space turns over and the scene changes.

What caught my eye was the bedroom of the house I lived in on Earth.

The bed had been changed from the original super single to a queen size, the sheets were black and the blanket was gray.

Deltan suddenly looked at the white pajamas draped over his body.

When I looked up, Agnes was also approaching the bed, wearing a white nightgown.

“Sorry, you waited, right?”

Agnes climbed into bed.

I got under the blanket and hugged Deltain.

The act of putting your arm under your head was clearly giving an arm pillow, but it was a reversed structure compared to the continent.

“Sleep, you need to get a good rest if you want to work tomorrow too.”

Have you ever buried your head in Agnes’ arms?

Deltan thought about it carefully and remembered that he had always done the opposite.

‘… no.’

It wasn’t.

‘It was almost like this when I returned to Earth.’

Why did I forget that?

Deltan closed his eyes.

I felt dazed and drowsy, and it felt like I could fall into peace for a long time if I stayed like this.

“Mmm~.”

Agnes hums.

Perhaps because she had just gotten out of the shower, she smelled sweet.

The pajamas, blanket, and skin are soft, so for some reason, my body feels warm.

and.

Thump-thump-

Agnes’ heart was beating vigorously.

With a steady beat, it gives off life.

Deltan listened to the sound in a daze.

A strong heartbeat was at the top of the list of healthy people known to Delta people.

You probably won’t suffer from heart disease or anything like that.

If you get sick, it’s probably lung disease caused by smoking, or liver problems caused by excessive drinking or nutritional imbalance.

No, could there be a problem with the blood vessels?

Anyway, the important thing is that we are fortunate that Agnes’ heart is healthy.

‘Okay, now that I don’t have any magic flowers… .’

It’s healthy.

‘of course… .’

… don’t do it

Suddenly, Deltan’s eyes brightened.

‘no.’

Agnes’s heart was weak from birth, even though she was not a demon.

A heart defect was something she was born with.

chin! And Deltan grabbed Agnes’ wrist.

“… Ah.”

The voice that came out was full of anger.

“Fuck, I almost missed it.”

With shiny eyes, I looked at Agnes and something in the shape of Agnes.

“The work ends there.”

“Delta… .”

“That’s not my name.”

Here, it was a different name.

“Abominable bastard.”

Damn it-

There was a crack in the space.

All the sensations I had felt up until just then mixed together like paint dissolved in water and soon dispersed.

And then again, the cracks get worse.

“The joke ends here.”

Clink!

The bedroom collapsed like glass breaking, revealing a pitch black space.

And the distance between Deltans and Agnes grew.

The scene that followed was bizarre.

As if the resolution of the monitor was gradually increasing, the blurry, crackling scenery became clearer and a space was revealed.

It was Daejeon, where all kinds of gold and silver treasures were spread out.

The throne at the top of Daejeon.

Agnes was sitting there, still wearing her white nightgown.

Deltan has already changed into the clothes he was wearing before coming here.

“… Lopalgar.”

“Oh my, I’ve already been caught.”

Lopalgar’s appearance changed as he smiled.

Her body was engulfed in flames, and she soon became the woman known to Deltans, wearing a red dress and scarlet hair.

“How did you know?”

“Details were lacking.”

Yes, this was a lack of detail due to a gap in information.

The surface psychology read by Lopalgar contains information about the landscape of the Earth and the hobbies enjoyed there, but there is no information about various medical bases.

In other words, although Lopalgar can know that he was a doctor, he cannot know the knowledge of how to use or apply the medical technique.

“There is no way to make her heart that healthy other than a transplant. Because it was deformed to begin with.”

And heart transplantation is not a simple surgery that someone from another dimension with no connections can undergo the transplant and complete recovery in just 6 months.

Aside from everything else, the process of creating an identity and finding a transplant recipient requires an absurdly long wait.

“Was it fun?”

I didn’t even feel like I had discovered something about the Earth again.

In the first place, since it was a species that lived as a parasite on the human consciousness, there was no way to hide its secret from the devil, and besides, the devil was likely to know its identity as it was related to the hall.

The prediction was right.

Lopalgar did not harbor any feelings about the fantasy he had created just before.

There was no mention of the scene, as if it was a natural occurrence, and he just sighed as if it was a sad sight.

“Oh my, I didn’t study enough.”

Blood spurted on Deltan’s forehead as he tasted it again.

“This is probably not the time to relax.”

“What is the reason for not being able to manage it? So how was it? Wasn’t it a pretty sweet dream?”

Lofalgar’s eyes widened.

“Actually, wasn’t half of it missing? Don’t deny it. Before understanding the emotion of greed, there is a vast gap between you and me.”

Deltan’s expression became more grim.

“Don’t be funny. That woman is not in the future I hope for.”

“It’s a bit cute to be disingenuous. I remember your face when I was in your arms and you were dazed.”

“I’m asking you to kill me horribly. I understand.”

Deltan created a pistol based on his imagination.

Lopalgar said with a chuckle.

“So, you definitely won’t regret it?”

“I think you should regret it.”

“Think about it. I can make all your dreams and desires come true. You can be any shape you want and live any time. You can live in eternal pleasure as long as you are here with me.”

“Damn.”

“Contractor. As I said before, you have a smell that I really like. So, I am making this suggestion.”

Deltan responded immediately.

“Fuck you.”

“Hmm… .”

Ropalgar narrowed his eyes and stared at the Deltan.

Then he raised his right hand and pointed at my crotch.

Something popped out on top of the dress, and when Lopalgar flicked his index finger, it exploded with a ‘pop!’

Black blood was sprayed out.

Deltan paused.

Lopalgar said with a smile.

“Okay, I did it. Is this what you like?”

It was a provocation.
